The Legend of Berland

The Orlando Mountains in the night are in danger, the flashing light in the dark is the eyes of beasts, and the sad birdsong from time to time is creepy.

The Blue Demon Girl Mercenary Regiment did not light a torch. The mercenaries carried a large bag of trophies and carried a team of young beasts, moving forward in the mountains in the dark.

The mercenary corps marked very hard. The road was rough in the dark. Mercenaries fell down from time to time, and large beasts that did not know death would suddenly rush over.

But the beast that attacked the team would not wait for the mercenary regiment to be killed by sharp arrows shot in the dark. Occasionally, they rushed to the front of the team and were instantly swallowed up by Adeline's flames.

After walking all the way for nearly a night, the mercenary corps stopped to rest for the first time when the dawn was dawn.

Even so, the mercenary regiment was forced to stop, because no matter how the mercenary swung the whip, the group of captured young orcs could not walk.

All the orcs had collapsed on the ground, and the mercenaries began to take turns to rest after a simple warning.

Arthur has been silently keeping an eye on the actions of the mercenaries along the way. He couldn't even understand some actions, but he still wrote them down.

The tiredness of the battle and the overnight procession made the mercenaries soon fall asleep, and even the mercenaries in charge of the alert mission couldn't help dozing off. Because it's dawn and the danger is over.

I don't know how long they slept, but the mercenaries were awakened by a scream. All the mercenaries picked up the weapons at hand in an instant and were ready for battle.

"Tony, what the hell are you howling?" Keynes sat up yawning.

"Son, the lion cub has run away!"

"How did you run? Didn't I tell you to tie it up?"

"Look at the knife cut on this rope. He was rescued!" Tony took two neatly cut ropes and showed them to Keynes.

Keynes frowned gently, "Are there any other young beasts running?"

"No, just run away from the lion cub."

"Fome it, just run away. Let's take a break for a while and continue to leave here early so that we don't have too many dreams at night.

"Ah!" Tony's jaw almost fell off in shock, "Son, how can it be like this? That lion cub is our biggest harvest this time! And I suspect that there are insiders in the team, and other people can't bypass our guard so easily. Tony said and his eyes had turned to Arthur.

Keynes waved his hand and said, "No need to check. It's a good thing that the lion cub ran away."

"A good thing?" Tony scratched his head puzzledly.

"Didn't you pay attention to his fighting color? That is the top fighting spirit of the Golden Lion family 'Red Sun Flowing Gold', and only family members with heirs can practice. The golden lion is one of the three most powerful families of orcs, and even in the boundaries of our human race, their eyes are all over. What do you think they would do if they knew that their heirs were sold as slaves of the human race? There was a heaviness in Keynes' seemingly plain tone.

Tony, Angus and the surrounding mercenaries all took a breath of cold air, which meant another war between the human and the beast.

Keynes winked at Arthur with deep meaning, in exchange for Arthur's polite smile.

...

Three days later, the Blue Demon Girl Mercenary Corps walked out of the Orlando Mountains, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Arthur suddenly found that there was one more person in the team. It was a slender and handsome man, carrying a big bow wrapped in green vines and carved with beautiful patterns. The pointed ears exposed between the soft golden long hair showed his elf identity.

He is the archer who has been hiding in the dark.

Although humans and elves are not as hostile as orcs, elves rarely appear in the human kingdom, let alone allowing humans to enter the elves' kingdom. Arthur was very curious about how this elf named Ilaya became a member of the Blue Demon Girl Mercenary.

Seeing that Arthur had been staring at him, the elf Ilaya nodded gently at him and smiled in return, fully showing the politeness and elegance of an elf in every move.

Two days later, a tall city appeared in front of everyone.

The wall made of gray basalt is 20 meters high, and there are seven or eight-meter-high sentry towers on the wall. There are huge crossbows and cannons between the piles of the wall, and armed soldiers patrol back and forth on the wall.

The suspension bridge at the city gate was spread on the ground, and people waiting to enter and leave the city lined up in a long line at the huge arched gate. A group of soldiers were carefully checking the crowd entering and leaving the city.

This is the headquarters of the Blue Demon Girl Mercenary Corps, the small border town of the Isaac Kingdom of the human race, Huaores City.

Huaores is also the first line of defense against the attack of orcs. Historically, the city of Jores has fallen several times and been recaptured several times. The bricks covered with knife and axes and the black-brown blood stains on the surface of the city wall are the best historical proof. Therefore, even in peacetime, the guard force here did not relax for a moment, and a 5,000-strong guard regiment was stationed in the city.

Arthur looked at the giant city in front of him in a daze, from the small village where he was born to the shabby camp of the orcs. This was the first time Arthur had seen such a tall and majestic building.

The mercenary corps did not queue up and went straight to the gate under the leadership of Keynes.

"Commaner Keynes, did you get a good harvest this time?" The captain who was guarding the gate was obviously very familiar with Keynes. Instead of checking, he greeted him warmly.

"I'm lucky. I caught a few orc cubs and invited the brothers to drink." Keynes casually threw a few gold coins to the leading captain in exchange for a burst of compliments from the gatekeepers.

Mercenaries have the second most important position in the kingdoms of the human race, second only to the nobles and merchants. Because the mercenary regiment has the obligation to assist the city guard in wartime, all cities welcome the arrival of mercenary regiments, especially the large mercenary regiment. The strength of an A-class mercenary regiment is even better than that of a division of the human army.

As the largest city on the border, the city of Huaores was very prosperous during the non-war period. The Orlando Mountains are rich in products, from rare ores to rare herbs, a large number of Warcraft materials, and even some goods smuggled from the orc wasteland can be available in large quantities. There are many medicinal material shops, weapons shops and trade on both sides of the street, and the wide streets are full of people coming and going.

Arthur, who has never seen so many people, is already dazzling. In his eyes, everything is new.

Because a team of little orcs was escorted into the city, the Blue Demon Girl Mercenary Corps attracted many onlookers, and the bold children even threw stones and spit at the little orcs. The contradictions between humans and beasts have been deeply rooted in the hearts of children and have been passed down from generation to generation.

In a corner of the south of Joures City, a tall fat man stood in front of a huge courtyard with a bluestone wall.

The fat man had a cold face, his face was full of horizontal flesh, and his bulging belly was like a hill. He only had one arm, and the other sleeve was cut shoulder-length.

Looking at the gradually approaching team, the fat man took a few more steps forward, and a smile appeared on his face, "Brothers, welcome home!"
