Chapter 649: Enemy attack

As a last resort, Cook paid a deposit of 20 gold coins, but then the staff revealed that this was mainly because of the task that Cook received, because the gangsters would cause certain losses to the surrounding area, so this task is a deadline task, mainly to prevent people I don't work hard to complete the task, while some other tasks don't have such things as a deposit.
After Cook understood, he was relieved. After all, it would be too difficult for this mercenary to pay the deposit for the mission. Then Cook looked at the mission description and found that the mission was more than 500 kilometers away from the Magic City. The town is a baron’s territory. Because of its remoteness and the good environment on the continent, a group of bandits came near the baron’s territory. This group of bandits often robbed, killed the surrounding businessmen, and robbed the territory.的领民.
The baron does have his own personal armament, but the den of this group of bandits is not in the baron’s territory, which makes it difficult to clean up, because the baron’s self-confessed armament can only execute war orders in his own territory. Territory is illegal.
It's not that the baron never thought of uniting other nobles to purge, but that kind of cost is more than a hundred gold coins.
In fact, just this one hundred gold coins makes the Baron feel distressed. Of course, it is precisely because of the remoteness that the Baron has a small town as his territory. In fact, it is only two villages. The tax revenue of the town is only a few hundred gold coins a year. The loss of business travel has caused the Baron's income to plummet.
Everyone has to ask this Cook to put out hundreds, tens of millions of gold coins at any time, this baron only earns such a small income a year? Haha, think about it, everyone. In coastal areas with developed economies, perhaps a village’s tax revenue is more than that of a northwestern city. This is the difference.
Cook took a look. The mission this time will take at least ten days. The gathering place for the team is in a tavern outside the mercenary union. Cook is outfitted with brand-new equipment. The mercenaries around know that this is a rookie. Because as long as it is an experienced mercenary, it can be seen by looking at the equipment.
But Cook’s equipment is not ordinary, wrist guards, arm guards, shoulder guards, breastplates, leg guards, on which Cook is carved with earth-based gravity magic lines. Magic lines are different from magic arrays, which can absorb surrounding elements. , And then provided to the magic pattern, and the magic circle needs to be inlaid with magic crystals or magic cores.
The magic pattern painted by Cook is twice the gravity. Originally Cook wanted to depict five times the gravity, but Cook did not expect a pair of armguards, a pair of wrist guards, and a pair of shoulder guards, front and rear breastplates, and leg guards. When five times the gravity is superimposed, the entire equipment is shattered in an instant. Only then did Cook realize that the gravity is superimposed. In other words, if you calculate according to the five times the gravity of a single piece, then the set will be fifty times the gravity. , And Cook’s equipment is nothing more than ordinary materials.
There is no way that Cook can only find West Asia, made of advanced beast skins. This time a single piece of equipment is double the gravity, and the magic pattern has been added to the magic pattern, so now Cook’s single piece of equipment is only 0.2 times the gravity turned on. That’s all, so the whole set of equipment is calculated to be twice the gravity, and it took Cook a day to adapt to twice the gravity, but even so, Cook felt indifferent at the beginning, but after a long time, Cook I feel a little unbearable.
So Cook try to be careful, otherwise, if you use too much force, the slate under your feet will be crushed, and Cook found that under twice the gravity, the speed of magic and fighting energy slowed down. Cook's fighting energy source originally rotated on its own. The speed was one-tenth of the time when it was spurred by mental power. Now it is only one-thirtieth. Cook doesn't know whether this situation is good or bad. He has to observe it for a while before talking.
"Buffy Hotel, this is it." Cook looked at the name of the tavern. This kind of small hotel doubles as a tavern, restaurant, and hotel.
"Oh, boy, can I help you?" A fat man shouted loudly when he saw Cook come in, but the people in the hotel had obviously adapted to this.
"I want to find Tyson..." Cook frowned, because the atmosphere in this tavern is really bad, poor quality wine, noisy sounds, and a rotten smell, obviously here. For the smell of the mercenary, Cook also saw a mercenary picking his feet while drinking, and from time to time he wiped his mouth with his feet.
"Oh, you are the mercenary who went to kill the bandits together. The young man has a future. My name is Buffy. I used to be a mercenary. Now I have retired." Buffy's voice was loud.
Cook took a surprised look at Buffy. You must know that this place is worth a lot and say something that shouldn’t be said. A city in some empires may not have the value of the hotel’s land, not to mention doing business here. You can do it with money.
Clever grabbing is not the only thing Cooked in. Any society has a dark side, and there is no exception to that society.
"Hello!" Cook did not say his own name, because the mercenaries are all fake names, it is the same as the nickname. Of course, Cook created a new mercenary badge, and of course Cook's mercenary badge It was done under a false name. For Cook, it was simply too simple to apply for a fake identity certificate. Moreover, there is an organization that specializes in such business, the Thieves Union.
"They have been waiting for a long time. It looks like you are a hunter?" Buffy asked as he brought Cook upstairs.
"Yes!" Cook didn't know what to say, but Cook knew that anyone who was able to open a store was able to speak well.
"Hunter is a difficult job!" Buffy shook his head, obviously not optimistic about Cook. What Buffy didn't know was that his hotel eventually became a legend because of this hunter, because the legendary mercenary was a legend. The hunter's starting point is this small hotel.
The floor upstairs is obviously much quieter, and the tables are still full of people, but the difference is that the people here are obviously ready to participate in the task, and they are discussing something.
"Tyson, I'm looking for you." Buffy walked into the corner and said to a tall man.
"Hello, my name is Tyson!" Tyson stood up. At this time, Cook discovered that Tyson was actually half of the barbarian blood, but such a person could easily grow into a powerful warrior.
Seeing Tyson, Cook felt relieved that with such a powerful fighter, this task was much easier. Cook smiled and took out the mission certificate issued by the mercenary union, and said, "Hill!"
Cook used the first two words of his surname. Tyson looked at the mission certificate issued by Cook's mercenary union and frowned. After all, a second-level hunter was not very good.
But Tyson can’t do anything about it. After all, this task of suppressing bandits is a long distance, 500 kilometers, and the cost of the carriage is two gold coins, and equipment supplies, etc., and the most important thing is a deposit, twenty gold coins. It's not a small amount anymore, this task is a bit tasteless in the eyes of some high-level mercenaries, and low-level mercenaries don't have such a cost, so it is a relatively embarrassing task.
"Well, the cost of carriage and horses to the mission destination this time is two gold coins, five people, and 40 silver coins per person. Do you prepare the other supplies by yourself or everyone together?" Tyson returned the mission certificate to Cook. Then asked.
"Let's prepare together!" Cook did not expect that the task had not started yet, and he had to pay money.
"Ahem, the carriage fees for two gold coins are a bit expensive, but we need supplies, and we also need to keep it confidential, so we can’t ride in a normal carriage, only a carriage, and the supplies include tents, water, and food. All of these need to be prepared here, because we are not very familiar with the goal, and if there is a problem with the supplement, it will be troublesome, so the supplies need 20 silver coins, a total of 60 silver coins, as for the drinks and other things by ourselves." Tyson saw that Cook was a rookie, so he explained it again.
"En!" Cook handed over a gold coin. Cook couldn't help but smile. This mercenary is really not something ordinary people can play. A gold coin is enough for a family of three to fill their stomachs even in the Magic City.
Some people have to ask. When I was in Roland City, one gold coin was enough for a family to spend a month. Is this Magic City still like this?
Attention, everyone, I am talking about filling your stomach, not that you should eat as much as you want. Just like five steamed buns a day, how much is five steamed buns, and how much it costs a month, so don’t worry about it. .
Of course, the supplies for mercenaries are generally bread, milk, and magic water. "It is water condensed by magic power, which is equivalent to pure water. This kind of water is not easy to break. Please experiment, even if it is tap water for ten and a half days. In a few months, tiny moss will grow, and pure water will not contain some condiments or the like. After all, the world is very rich in wild animals.
"Uncle Buffy, let's have another glass of ale!" Tyson yelled immediately when he saw that Cook smiled bitterly, but he was still very happy to give money.
"No, bring me a glass of ice water!" Cook said immediately.
"Okay!" Buffy heard Cook's words, glanced at Cook involuntarily, and then left.
"Let's set off tomorrow. When they come back, we will plan this operation." Tyson said to Cook after sitting down.
"Okay!" What can Cook say, not long after a waiter brings a glass of ice water over, Cook drinks ice water and Tyson drinks ale.
"Tyson, no one has come yet..." Cook was about to drink up the ice water. Cook saw three people walking up the stairs. The first one yelled loudly as soon as he came up, but when he saw Ku After Ke sat next to Tyson, he immediately closed his mouth.
"Come here, come here, let me introduce to everyone, this is our new teammate, Hill, a hunter. Hill, this tall man is Ras, a swordsman. Giro, a thief. Lille, an archer. !" Tyson introduced one by one.
Cook stretched out his hand while observing his teammates: "Hello!"
Hill, a tall man, with long arms shows that this guy's swordsmanship must be extraordinary, Giro, like all thieves, not very tall, a bunch of mustaches give people a feeling, Lille, kind He looked ordinary, but a scar on his chin made Lille feel a little cold. The entire team was male. Among them, two fighters, one thief, and two long-ranges were normal configurations.
"Hunter? Can you do it?" Giro asked worriedly.
"Yes!" Lars also looked at Cook suspiciously.
Tyson clapped his hands and said, "Everyone should be careful. Such a task is really..."
Tyson's words made Giro and Russ speechless. After all, this task requires a deposit in the early stage. This is a threshold, and this type of task is far away, and generally capable mercenaries don't like to do it.
Lille looked at Cook and said, "I see no problem!"
Lille's thoughtless words made the other three suspicious, and Cook also said with a smile: "Don't worry, everyone, I won't hold everyone back."
"I hope!" Giro and Russ looked at each other and sighed.
Tyson said loudly: "Okay, okay, since it's here, let's make a practical plan."
"Hill, do you understand the attack formation?" Tyson turned to ask Cook.
"Hmm!" Cook nodded, then sat down to listen to Tyson's attack plan.
"Our plan is very simple. I and Lars will attack, Giro will assist in the attack, and Hill and Lille will assist in long-range cover, do you understand?" Tyson clapped his hands.
"Understood!" The rest of the people immediately replied, and Cook almost fell to the ground, Nima, after talking for a long time, this is the plan.
There was no word for a night. Early the next morning, five people packed a carriage to Nathan Town, 500 kilometers away. Since most of the five hundred attacks were on the wide roads, the total cost was spent on the road. During the three days, the team members exchanged ideas with each other, and their relationship improved a lot.
"Cuckoo, croak!" After arriving at the destination, a toucan fell on Cook's shoulder, screaming in excitement, and rubbing his big mouth on Cook's face.
"Big Mouth?" Cook was also puzzled. Big Mouth was entrusted to Mickey by Cook to take care of him. This guy is really too weak. But now Cook sees that the color of Big Mouth is darker and his body is also bigger. ring.
"Goo, quack!" Big Mouth exclaimed excitedly.
Cook checked with his mental power and found that Big Mouth was already at the top of the elementary monsters, almost intermediate-level monsters. It seemed that Big Mouth also needed some experience. Although Cook gave the Big Mouth sufficient training resources, the monsters always It is to grow in battle.
"Hill, this is your pet?" Giro looked at the big mouth on Cook's shoulder and asked suspiciously.
"Well, this is mine..." Cook nodded and agreed.
"Haha. Haha, come and see everyone, Hill's pet is so weird, haha, haha!" Before Cook finished speaking, Giro laughed loudly.
"Oh, Hill, your pet is really..." Lars sighed and looked at the big mouth that resembled a crow, but that big mouth also proved that this is not a crow. The crow means death in myths and legends.
"Well, I think Hill's pet is not bad, it is actually a flying monster." Tyson said loudly.
"Warcraft, Captain, what is the role of this Monster? Look at such a large size, is it not as good as a normal eagle?" Giro replied irritably, but what Giro didn't know was that since then, Giro has Being worried by the big mouth, Giro has nightmares every night, and the spirit type of Warcraft is not an ordinary Warcraft.
"Captain, what do we do now?" Lille asked, looking at Tyson.
"Let's go directly to the gangster's lair!" Tyson picked up a map and looked at it, then said.
"Captain, shall we visit the baron's manor?" Giro asked in a daze.
"No, I suspect that there is a bandit’s eyeliner in the Baron. This is not the first time we have come to suppress bandits. The first two mercenary teams did not find any traces of bandits, and the third team is even missing. Hill, you Can this pet detect?" Tyson explained negatively, and then asked Cook.
"Simple, no problem." Cook replied immediately.
"Goo, quack, quack!" Big Mouth protested in dissatisfaction, and Cook quickly appeased the little thing.
"That's good, according to the mercenary union's intelligence, the bandit's stronghold is in a valley 25 kilometers away from the town. Let's set out and try to complete the task tomorrow." Tyson breathed a sigh of relief, and then ordered.
"Giro. Russ, you two are in the lead, Lille and Cook follow, I postpone the distance between the front and back of 50 meters, not more than 50 meters, well, ready to go." Tyson ordered.
"Yes!" No one raised objections to this allocation. Lille and Russ acted as scouts in front, while Lille and Cook could support both sides in the middle. Tyson postponed, which is a standard defensive formation. Both can attack and defend.
Six horses were led by Lille. These were rented horses, five mounts, and a workhorse, but Cook was a little embarrassed, because of his own 200 gravity, I was afraid that the horses could not bear it. Cook regretted not bringing one. Come on a horse.
"Go!" In desperation, Cook only rode on a horse. Sure enough, the horses moved slowly, but fortunately this group of people were not in a hurry.
At the beginning, the road was relatively gentle, but as time went by, the road was not so easy to walk. Bushes and hillsides made horse riding difficult.
"Okay, let's take a rest. Tomorrow we will reach the gangster's den after we climbed over this mountain." Tyson saw that the time was almost up, and immediately called out loudly.
Giro quickly found an ideal camping site, on the edge of a creek with a wide view. Tyson had instructed: "Lille is responsible for guarding, and the rest of the people are moving and moving!"
Cook also hurriedly helped put down the saddle. To be honest, Cook's horse was exhausted today. After all, Cook's double gravity is no joke. Cook fed his horse some black beans, Cook Take care of the horses.
The rest of the tents set up tents, and lighted the fire. Not long after it was dark, five people sat around the bonfire. Pieces of rabbit meat were skewed on the branches and made a sizzling noise on the bonfire. , Accompanied by drops of oil dripping down, this is the credit of Lille.
The bread was also taken out by the crowd, and when it was on the stone by the bonfire, not long after, the scent of bread and the smell of roasted rabbit meat spread, and the big mouth was already very impatient. Cook jumped up and down in front of him.
"Don't worry!" Cook took out some seasonings and sprinkled them evenly on the barbecue. The rest of the people had already eaten it. People on this continent like to eat half-cooked barbecue, while Cook likes to eat whole. Cooked.
"Okay~EbookFREE.me~ Eat slowly!" Cook divides the rabbit meat into two pieces, one for the big mouth, one for himself, one bite of toast, one bite of roasted rabbit meat, one bite of the magic water that comes with it. A very pleasant and delicious meal.
"Everyone takes turns to be on alert at night, who will come first?" Tyson asked after they had finished eating.
"I'll come first!" Cook said quickly, because he was better at the beginning and not dozing off. This was also what Tyson quietly told Cook to do in the afternoon. After all, he was a rookie, in Tyson's cognition.
"Then it's me!" Giro saw that Cook was ahead of him, and gave Cook a slightly unhappy look.
"I will follow!" Lars said indifferently.
Lille stood up, stared at the distant jungle, and said angrily: "No need to argue, we have guests here!"
"Enemy attack!" Hearing this, Tyson roared immediately, his body turned up with a leap, and everyone was ready immediately. They are indeed experienced mercenaries with their weapons and equipment by their side. Even without leaving, the mercenaries stood up after grabbing the weapons, but after a while, the faces of the mercenaries were very ugly.
