The Nine Blades Mercenary Club took over a big business half a year ago.
An elf princess from the Moonlight Kingdom, who came from the most northwest corner of the earth, in the dense forest of Sislaberg, and a small number of giant monsters and frost demon followers, requested an elite team of the highest standard from the mercenary club to escort her to the east.
You can go to the Kingdom of Darkness in the Perivit Jungle, or you can go further east, to the south of the Crimson Rainbow Mountains, to the Moon Shadow Kingdom in the Devana Jungle.
Anyone with a discerning eye will know at a glance that there is something fishy here.
The Moonlight Kingdom is the largest elf kingdom in the northwest, and it is also the most powerful kingdom in the northwest of the earth.
As a princess of her country, her rank is unclear - after all, the world is a very large land, and the Kingdom of Denland where the Nine Knives are located is too far away from the Moonlight Kingdom, but there is no doubt that she has a royal emblem.
But a mercenary club is needed to escort him. There is only one elf maid as his entourage, and the other guards are all giant monsters and frost demons.
All kinds of situations show the weirdness of this princess, but——
What does this have to do with the Nine Blades Mercenary Club?
The Moonlight Kingdom is not easy to mess with, and its enemies are certainly not easy to mess with either.
But as mentioned before, the land they were on was too big. The Moonlight Kingdom and the Denland Kingdom were separated by 108,000 miles - in fact, it was much longer than this distance. To be precise, it was at least 100,000 kilometers.
The Nine Blades Mercenary Club is the signature brand of the Barbarian Beast Clan in the Kingdom of Denland. It has enjoyed the reputation of being the first mercenary group in Denland for more than a thousand years. How could they not accept such a big business?
Since there are so many races on earth, and there are thousands of large and small kingdoms, tribes and communities, there is actually no unified currency. Basically, local currencies are used everywhere.
Among humans, it is possible that it can be used in many countries, but it is not possible at all among other races.
In this case, a high-end currency-energy currency was derived.
This kind of currency is said to be a currency, but in fact it can take any form. It may be stone, metal, wood, or even bones or fur. As long as it contains absorbable energy, it is currency. The richer the energy it contains. , the higher the energy quality, the higher the value.
This time, Princess Atasha paid the deposit with a tree species from the Ancestral Tree. If it grows up, it can become a giant tree thousands of meters high, and a kingdom can live on the tree crown.
The energy contained in this thing that is equivalent to a divine object is naturally inestimable - this seed is the biggest reason why the Nine Blades Mercenary Club cannot refuse.
Since they have taken other people's money, they naturally have to deal with the disaster. The escort team formed by the Nine Knives is the ultimate strength they can use. Even the president, Jardel of the Barbarian Tiger Clan, personally stepped in.
In addition to Jardel, the team also includes a magician, a divine magician, a potion master, and 50 beast warriors.
In Trigolav, the world of demigods and chosen people, magicians and wizards are actually very rare. Most combatants are warriors who use energy to launch physical attacks. This is true for all races.
There are two professions derived from magicians - magicians and potionists.
They have some magical talent, but not enough to become magicians:
Among them, the magicians are like priests of the gods, praying to the gods to give them some power. Due to the environment here in Trigolav, the electorate has a close connection with the gods. People with magical talents can easily get some spells from the gods and then use their own energy to cast them.
However, which deity you pray to cannot be changed for life, and the spells obtained from a single deity are not as flexible as those of formal magicians, and there are only a few types;
Another profession, the Potion Master, as the name suggests, is to use some magical talents not in casting spells, but in making medicines, using medicines to undertake treatment and certain special tasks.
This set of troops is already second to none in the Kingdom of Denland. Except for the Nine Swords, no mercenary organization can produce it.
Even so, Jader was still not reassured.
The reason why the mercenary club can be maintained is not because of his clever skills, nor because of his extraordinary strength. The fundamental reason is: he is very cautious!
Since taking over the important task of commanding the Nine Swordsmen from the previous club president, Jardel has helped the mercenary club avoid several disasters by not being blind, arrogant, and thoughtful. The most dangerous one was that of the Kingdom of Denland. There was civil strife in the royal family.
At that time, members of the Denland royal family hired mercenaries one after another to increase their strength, and almost all mercenary organizations in the Denland territory were involved.
Only Jardel would not hesitate to use force to suppress internal dissent, and would never let the Nine Swordsmen join the camp of any prince or princess.
As a result, not to mention the failed princes and princesses, they and the mercenary organizations that supported them disappeared silently. However, the mercenary organizations that helped the current king ascend the throne also failed to make a profit!
The King of Denland believed that their military force was too strong and that they were a military force that could threaten the royal family in the capital of Denland. Then... there was no more. The mercenary organization, which was severely damaged by fighting with its peers, was defeated by the royal guards. Easily eradicate them one by one.
It can be seen that Jardel is the kind of person who would rather give up the advantages than take any more risks.
Because of the Ancestral Tree seeds that Atasha paid, Jardel cruelly violated his principle once, but he still took as much insurance as he could. Not only did he spend all the nine knives, but he also roped in another mercenary group - the Iron Foot mercenaries. corps.
This mercenary group is composed entirely of dark blood dwarves who left the Earth Alliance Kingdom for unknown reasons. The most important thing is that there are two magicians in their group.
Because they are too exclusive and very picky when accepting tasks, their reputation in the Dunland Kingdom is average, but their strength is definitely top-notch.
Even the stubborn dark-blood dwarves admired Jardel's reputation and credibility. In addition, they heard that the reward was the elves' most precious treasure: the seeds of the ancestral tree. After thinking about it for a while, they agreed and agreed to carry out this mission together with the Nine Knives. Task.
At the same time, they also recognized Jardel's concerns - this mission was by no means that simple. Almost the entire regiment was dispatched, from the regiment leader Emora to the two magicians, and they also brought 50 dark-blood dwarf warriors with them. .
The two major mercenary organizations each mobilized 95% of their strength and jointly escorted Atasha and his party, which seemed to be a sure thing.
Unfortunately, things went against their wishes. As soon as they left the Kingdom of Dunland and prepared to cross the Granguret River to the north, they were attacked on the Gran Plain between Dunland and the Kingdom of Huolin in the north.
The attacker was none other than the Moon Soul Elf from the Moonlight Kingdom.
Although he didn't understand what was going on, and Atasha refused to reveal anything, Jardel still discovered that they were involved in the royal family's war after all.
