Chapter 638: Morning Light Extinction (Second)
Remember for a second
"You mean...we're being targeted by the Dagger Brotherhood?" Fatty swallowed hard, "You can't be mistaken?"
Lucio squatted down and tore the sleeve of the corpse, only to see a tattoo of two daggers on his shoulders, which was gradually fading. Soon, the corpse burned under a strange force, gradually turning into ashes, even There are no bones left.
"Yes, it should be a member of the Brotherhood of Daggers." Lucio looked a little dignified, and gave Chen Rui a hint.
The Brotherhood of Daggers, a well-known assassination organization with influence in several countries, it is said that as long as they can afford the price, even a king can become their target.
The killer of the Dagger Brotherhood is not only powerful, but also ruthless. Even if they are captured, they will not leave any survivors, just like this self-burning corpse. After the mission fails, they will send killers again to retaliate. However, if they fail three times in a row, the mission will be regarded as giving up automatically if the cost exceeds the expected cost, and generally they will not shoot at the target again.
This is a tradition prevented by the dark forces of mankind. Although I don’t remember what era it was left over, even today’s largest assassin and thief organization, the “Stalker Guild”, strictly follows this tradition, let alone the Dagger Brotherhood. .
After confirming that the enemy was the Dagger Brotherhood and not the Holy Feather Mercenary Corps, the fat man immediately cowarded, replaced by a strong fear: "Who is it! He actually hired the Dagger Brotherhood to deal with us at a huge price! No way! We want to Immediately return to Gudan Town..."
Fatty only said half a sentence, and suddenly remembered that since the other party is the Dagger Brotherhood, then even if he goes back, he still can't escape the poison. The church in Garden City is of a higher rank than Gudan Town, and there are Knights of Light stationed there. It is a way to go there, and he immediately changed his words: "Head Ina. Please protect us to go to Garden City, I will pay double... ...No, ten times the pay! I will also be fully responsible for the losses you have suffered, including the pensions of the two dead brothers."
According to the rules, the employer generally only needs to pay the commission according to the employment agreement, and the loss or casualty of the mercenary in the mission is ignored. Although fat people love money, they are not stupid. If even a small life is gone. No amount of money is needed.
If the mercenary gave up the mission in the middle, in addition to getting no commission, he would also need to pay liquidated damages, and his prestige would be greatly reduced, but if Ina really gave up the mission, then Iron Shield would only lose money and prestige. Fatty and these people lost their lives. Fatty has been sitting firmly in the position of the head of the Gudan Town Church for many years. Naturally, he has some means. He is well aware of the truth that "there must be a brave man under the heavy reward". Therefore, he immediately put forward the issue of doubling the salary and being responsible for compensation.
Ina pondered for a while, looked at the mercenaries, and said, "Don't worry, Pastor. Our Iron Shield mercenary group has the most credibility. Since we have taken this mission, we will definitely go all out to complete it."
"That's great! As expected of the Iron Shield Mercenary Corps!" Fatty breathed a sigh of relief: "I'll keep my word, and I'll pay ten times the salary and compensation after arriving at Garton City."
Ina nodded. Start to rearrange the defense, order the mercenaries to retrieve their mounts, and arrange for the wounded to rest.
When passing by Chen Rui, the female team leader gave him a deep look and said, "Assassins of the Dagger Brotherhood are generally impossible to be captured alive, I don't know how you captured this assassin. But I can be sure. Yes, whether or not the original assassin's target is you, you will become one of the key 'care' objects of the Dagger Brotherhood in the rest of the journey."
"Oh, I went through a fierce battle just now, and I need to go back to the tent to rest for a while." Chen Rui shrugged nonchalantly, as if he didn't understand the current bad situation. up.
Looking at Chen Rui's back, Yina snorted coldly, and asked the bearded man lying on the ground, "Silva, how are you?"
"I can't die." The bearded man raised his body reluctantly and showed a smile: "Speaking of which, that special antidote is really powerful, and the poison that even the dispelling technique can't remove has been swept away, and the only thing left is a little flesh wound. , no problem."
Although Big Beard said it easily, Ina could see that this was definitely not just a "slight" flesh wound. Fortunately, the poison was relieved, and there was no fear of life. It only took a few days of rest to recover. However, in the short term, the combat effectiveness It will definitely be discounted.
"This Richard is really not simple," Ina said with a deep thought, "I'm afraid his strength is still above our expectations, maybe he can really escape the three assassinations of the Dagger Brotherhood."
"No matter how powerful it is, it can't be compared... By the way, head, you promised that fat man to continue to accept the protection task this time, is it because of the deputy head..."
Yina looked around and said in a low voice, "Before we left Gudan Town, I happened to receive a magical message from him from Rice Town, saying that the mission of Stam City had been completed and he was on his way back. I left a message for him at the hotel, and he should rush over to join us when he returns to Gudan Town, and it is estimated that it will only take two or three days."
The big beard showed a look of surprise: "Great! If he can come over, even the Dagger Brotherhood will not be afraid!"
Yina's voice became even lower: "Originally, he didn't come to rendezvous on purpose this time, but to go to a place through Garton City, which happened to be on the way with our mission. This matter is related to his private secret, so it's hard to ask more questions. , I didn't tell everyone. Now that the enemy is the Dagger Brotherhood, the deputy head can't disclose this matter, so as not to attract the attention of the Dagger Brotherhood, as long as it can block the three brothers of the Dagger Brotherhood
Once attacked, this level is over. "
"Understood." Bearded nodded and lay down again.
The night passed without another attack. The second rì team continued on the road. Some mercenary mounts were not recovered, so the two of them rode together, and the speed of everyone was not very fast. Be careful along the way, two days have passed, and nothing unusual has happened. Most of the members of the Iron Shield Mercenary Group recovered well from their injuries, but they did not dare to relax their vigilance.
Now that the ground world is autumn, the sun is not dazzling, but it is easy to be tired. In the bumps of the carriage, the fat man's eyelids began to bump, and he couldn't help taking a nap.
Before the priest slept for long, he was awakened by the violent vibrations and screams. Fatty's slack nerves immediately tightened. He opened the curtain and saw that on the side of the mountain, a piece of boulders the size of a grinding disc rolled down. At this time, the mounts seemed to be frightened by some kind of special power and ran around uncontrollably. In desperation, the mercenaries had to abandon their horses, and a few mounts that did not know whether to live or die rushed towards the range of the boulder, and were immediately smashed into flesh.
"The road behind has been blocked, hurry up! Lord Reverend! Dismount! Let's run into the woods over there!"
The horse pulling the carriage had been beheaded by the mercenaries because it was out of control. The fat man hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and fled to the woods on the side under the protection of the mercenaries. In a panic, he didn't notice that "Li Cha" was gone again. .
Everyone finally avoided the boulder and fled into the woods, and the sun in the sky suddenly dimmed.
It's not that there are dark clouds, but that this forest is shrouded by a special power, and even the sun is covered with a haze.
Everyone only heard the mournful wailing sound in their ears. There seemed to be countless hands dragging in the woods, and the speed was involuntarily full. A feeling of icy coldness, the layers of mist in the woods seemed to transform into ghosts of life-threatening ghosts, floating around, both will and strength were weakened to a low point in this terrifying environment.
"This is the breath of darkness! Damn assassins, how dare they use such power to blaspheme the light!" After all, the fat man was a priest, endured the fear in his heart, raised his long staff tremblingly, and recited with the two monks Chanting the incantation, "Dispel! The humble darkness!"
A mass of white light appeared, floated in the air, and spread out. Those mists turned into light smoke and dissipated under the illumination of the white light. At the same time, the strangeness on everyone seemed to weaken a little.
At this time, the wind was blowing, and the white light was quickly swallowed up by the smog that filled the entire forest. Fatty used it several times in a row, but the effect was minimal. Instead, he lost too much spiritual power, and his footing was unstable. fell to the ground. The other two cultivators were weaker than Fatty, and would soon be unable to use the dispelling technique.
The light in the woods is getting darker and darker, and the mercenaries seem to be stuck in a quagmire, unable to use their strength, and even the magician's magic can't work.
Chen Rui looked curiously at the two black-robed men in the woods who joined forces to exert dark power—there are also dark magicians in the ground world?
With his eyesight, he can see that the strength of these two men is the first stage of the Great Demon King. There is a special magic circle in this forest, which can increase the power of darkness. The purpose of the rolling stone just now should be to make everyone. Forced into the woods, good catch.
"Humph! Didn't you say that there was an enemy who might be at the division level? He also killed Tucker, why are they all weak ants!" a man said disdainfully.
"Tucker is just an incompetent person, but those intelligence officers should be damned! It's a shame that this kind of guy has to disturb us so much!"
"Since it's here, let's slowly torture these ants to death first!"
Just as Chen Rui was about to deal with the two men, he suddenly moved his eyes and turned his head to look in another direction. He could feel that there was a man rushing towards him, and his strength seemed... not weak.
mate? Chen Rui's thoughts moved slightly, and he put his hand down again. Anyway, Fatty and the others were not in danger at this time. When the man's accomplices arrived, they just happened to solve it together.
The speed of the people who came was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, they had already arrived in the magic circle of the woods. The two men in black robes had just reacted. They were all startled, and they heard a firm man's voice resounding through the woods: "The morning light is extinct!"
To Chen Rui's surprise, the voice sounded somewhat familiar!
