Red Thirteen.
A concise title.
Red card, the total number of people is only thirteen.
As a large transnational organization spanning the east and west coasts, the Mercenary Guild has recorded a total of more than 200,000 active mercenaries who have taken on missions within half a year.
Among them, there are more than 100,000 green-card mercenaries, the lowest level, followed by blue-card mercenaries who account for a large number of people, and orange-card mercenaries with relatively small numbers-the two are also 60,000 and 30,000 respectively.
Even as a high-level mercenary second only to the red card, each of them has his own special title, the purple card, who has created some amazing feat, and the number of incomplete statistics has exceeded 7,000.
How can one be so virtuous?
Can these thirteen mercenaries who are qualified to wear red cards stand at the top of the industry?
Whether it is people in the mercenary industry or others around the world, there are many people who are dissatisfied with the unshakable numbers and the meaning behind this guild since its establishment, and there are many people who even put it into action.
But the challengers passed by and disappeared one after another, but Red XIII always existed.
As a high-level paladin, Adolphus has heard many rumors about these people.
For example, a certain red-card mercenary single-handedly smashed open the door of a castle with a hammer, or another mercenary dived into the water for more than ten minutes to capture an underwater monster with his bare hands.
These are still relatively realistic descriptions, but when Adolphus and other paladins heard it, they often did what most people who knew something about combat would do.
He scoffed at this and dismissed it.
"Killing an earth dragon single-handedly? What ridiculous second-rate aristocratic novelist wrote this—"
"Anyone with a little common sense——"
The words that came out of his mouth in the past lingered in his ears for a long time like auditory hallucinations, making this high-ranking paladin's ears red and hot hidden under his helmet.
she.
Jump up.
The silver spear inserted into the side of the earth dragon's face became a lever of assistance. The not thick palm grasped the round surface of the spear and used the force to jump onto the earth dragon's head.
"Roar!!" The earth dragon's left eye was soaked in blood and could not open. The pain made it go crazy, but the silver-haired female mercenary immediately pulled out the spear with force.
"Buzz--" The spear, which seemed to be made of mithril and emitted a brilliance like the bright moon, made a pleasant buzzing sound. Even from this distance, Adolphus could tell that it was a spear. Excellent weapon.
"Ha--" She took a breath. Even though the earth dragon shook its head wildly, she seemed to be stuck to it. The only things shaking were the silver ponytail and the lightly armored skirt.
"Roar!!" The dragon roared crazily. It wanted to get rid of this hateful little man standing on the tip of its nose. The anger caused by the pain made it hit the mountain wall left and right, causing it to collapse and send smoke and dust everywhere. It raised its neck and opened it wide. Her mouth tried hard to bite the opponent, but she always stayed firmly on the dragon's nose.
"Roar -" the Gray Saw-backed Earth Dragon roared, and then as if it finally remembered, it raised its claws and scratched its nose.
"call--"
The sound of gentle exhalation should have been covered by the silence, but it was clearly audible, as if ringing in the ears.
Accompanying this sound, there is a faint fragrance, like flowers blooming in early spring, not as prosperous as midsummer, alone, with the coolness of winter that has not yet dissipated.
"Bang——!" "Bang!!" "Boom!!!"
She disappeared in an instant.
Then when he reappeared, Earth Dragon's chin hit the cliff several meters high.
This is not magic, but the speed is beyond what the knights can detect with their naked eyes.
It wasn't until the body that jumped up in the air dropped the silver spear in her hand to the earth dragon's head like lightning that the knights finally saw clearly what she had done in the blink of an eye.
The moment Dilong raised his head and scratched his nose with his claws, she used the force to jump up. Then, after scratching with his claws, he fell down again, and with the momentum of falling in mid-air, he stabbed the spear into the earth dragon's head like a swooping peregrine falcon.
The unprepared Earth Dragon knocked hard on the top of the cliff. The heavy blow made it slightly dizzy, but it was not enough to kill it completely. The Earth Dragon once again began to twist its neck and straighten its body. She drew out her spear and jumped to the cliff on the left, waiting for it leisurely.
"Roar!!" The earth dragon, which was clawing at the dirt crazily, jumped up the cliff and pursued it closely. The roaring sound of running gradually faded away, but the paladins who had been rescued had mixed emotions.
Their high self-esteem made it difficult for them to believe what happened in just two minutes.
To be fair, each of them could do what she did. Just jumping and thrusting is not difficult, but to seize the right opportunity to jump up when an earth dragon is shaking its head crazily requires not only extremely strong physical ability, but also excellent self-confidence. as well as.
rich experience.
"Damn it!" Adolphus, who had always been calm and self-disciplined, suddenly felt an unknown fire and cursed loudly: "Don't lose to the mercenaries! Follow me!" He shouted, and the Paladin who felt the same way They also responded in unison.
————
"Roar!!!" The heartbreaking roar of the dragon came from the north, followed closely by the sound of huge footsteps that were as dense as a drum.
The blood-covered earth dragon roared and ran at full speed, knocking the entire forest upside down. Under everyone's attention, she jumped up again, kicked on the tree trunk, and lured the earth dragon to the left. While biting, he jumped to the right.
"Ka!!" The dead tree broke into two pieces under the dragon's kiss, and the roaring earth dragon judged from the taste that Zhi Kong was extremely angry and noticed that she actually stepped on the tip of her nose again and jumped into the air. , it roared and then lowered its hind legs and jumped up in an instant with its tail swinging.
The sight of a behemoth weighing several tons jumping almost to the top of the tree crown is not seen every day. However, when it was already in mid-air, it was discovered that there was no shadow of that hateful villain in front of it.
Then it started to fall.
"Bang - bang -" "Roar -" "Ouch -" The earth dragon fell with an astonishing momentum and had already arrived at the central battlefield. Its left eye, which was covered by its own blood, could not see clearly and the right eye could not see clearly. When he looked closely, he saw the side of another earth dragon that was zooming in front of him.
"Bang!!!!"
After running wildly, the northern earth dragon jumped up and slammed into the middle earth dragon whose left foot was injured. The sound of the two ten-ton behemoths colliding together was earth-shattering, and this one appeared in an unprecedented way. The silver-haired lady turned her back to the two earth dragons that had been knocked together and caused the dust to scatter and the ground could not help but tremble. She moved forward unhurriedly and reached out to stroke her messy side hair.
"That - that's not -" The red mercenary tag hung brightly on the armed belt made everyone freeze in place.
It is very similar to the white hair of Luoan people, but has a light gray color. It is her best personal symbol.
"Silver hair, dense silver spear, red mercenary card."
"There is only one person in the world who fits these characteristics." Filippo beside Mira murmured. Although the young man is a noble swordsman, he is also familiar with this kind of existence that stands at the pinnacle of combat professionals.
"..." The two dragons that had been severely injured before lost consciousness in the collision with each other. Their huge heads fell weakly to the ground. Henry lowered the tip of Claymore's sword and spoke silently. Turned his head.
Horno drove his horse forward, and Mira and Filippo quickly followed.
"It's really noisy-" The silver-haired lady looked at Henry, who shrugged. "Erica." Horno called out the other person's name.
"..." But she fell silent again immediately, her brows just knitted together.
After a while, it was Erica who spoke first: "The druids have arrived." As she said this, Mira noticed that the petite shoulders of Horno, who was riding on horseback in front of her, trembled. Then she spoke again, her tone was trembling, and she said softly in a thin and unheard voice: "...Hmm."
"They are controlling the situation around here. Don't worry, even if she recovers again, the demonic disaster will not happen again." Erica turned her head and looked at Horno. Although she looked like a human mercenary, But the tone he spoke to the elf was not polite at all: "The trouble you got into this time is not small at all."
"But..." she sighed
"Mitinos..." Horno shuddered again when Erica mentioned this name, and she continued: "She fulfilled her duties faithfully."
"Mother...I..." The elf lowered his head.
"Solve the matter in front of you first, and I will help you intercede with the Druid later." Erica said, and then stared at Mira for a while, and then turned her head to Henry.
"Why, it seems like the fight was very difficult. You are out of breath." She said playfully, but Mira and Filippo looked up and down and found that the sage was almost spotless.
"Why are you here?"
"Palnilla issued an announcement saying that the recommended level for this mission is a red card." Erica shrugged, then patted the red badge hanging on her waist.
"Where's the boat?" Henry then asked. He obviously meant why he didn't take a boat to Pavinzio in the south, but appeared here at this time.
"The mob is burned out. You have to rush to Parnilla as soon as possible after solving this matter." Erica replied, Mira and Henry frowned together, and Filippo's face began to turn pale.
"So, so, you are -" A mercenary who came over at some point asked her in awe, "You came all the way here?"
"With this weather and a lot of ghouls -" He suddenly closed his mouth, as if just imagining the appearance of the ghouls and undead on the ground made him feel cold from head to toe.
"Well, yes, we fought all the way here." Erica tilted her head and smiled, but everyone on the horse shuddered.
"It's pretty easy to tell the direction. Just go towards the place where there are many enemies and you'll be right."
She said this, and then suddenly picked up the spear that was propped on the ground.
"Okay, you kids, stay back."
"Uh-" "Listen to her." Mira just opened her mouth when Horno interrupted her. "Hoo-ho-" and then the roar of the dragon sounded again, causing the mercenaries who had just wanted to get closer to watch the legendary figure to distance themselves again.
Shaking the dragon's head, the two dizzy gray saw-backed earth dragons separated. Although he was still standing a little shaky and obviously suffered a lot of injuries, everyone could see the anger of Renli from the three open dragon eyes.
Dragons are creatures with considerable intelligence and even arrogance.
This is true even for a dragon, even a low-level dragon.
These little things they looked down upon actually caused themselves so much pain. Although for the strong true dragons, these injuries were only a few days to recover from, but they still suffered.
Angry to.
Wanting to tear every creature in front of me into pieces.
"Qiang--" Henry hung Kramer on his right side.
"Buzz--" Erica lowered the spear in her hand to her left side.
"Can you still breathe, old man?" She glanced at the sage and said.
"Be lenient, they are not our real enemies." Henry replied calmly.
"..."
A moment later, when the Paladins who took a detour from the valley finally arrived, they saw only the backs of three earth dragons with many wounds on their bodies, wailing away.
"..." Adolphus dropped the sword in his hand weakly and let out a long sigh.
"The Yalong can't defeat the real dragon after all, can it..."
"Oh!!!" And a huge cheer broke out among the mercenaries, reaching into the sky.
