The Lord of Ashes

Another scream came from the rear wing.

Ever since Thane and Captain Red Scale walked at the front of the team, those underground creatures began to consciously avoid them after realizing that they were sworn enemies, and specifically attacked the weaker mercenary group members at the back.

The leader of the Red Scales is not a simple high-level knight attendant. The red scale armor she wears is very sophisticated.

This seems to be armor made from the skin of some rare and powerful monster. There are also faint traces of elemental power on it, indicating that it has been specially refined by an alchemist.

With the protection provided by this scale armor, coupled with the red scale group's attack method of opening and closing, Thain found that this female man was enough to match the would-be knight.

"Red Scale" is her codename, not her real name.

Mercenary knights like her who lick blood from their swords would always give themselves a code name.

Titles such as "violent bear" and "magnificent wrist" are relatively common.

The red scale is a little more elegant, but it is suitable for female knights.

Of course, this title may also be related to her scale armor and the name of the mercenary group.

After the screams disappeared, news soon came from the mercenaries.

Another person dies, this time they are attacked by a type of black bat that lives at the top of the cave.

Each of these black bats has the power to transform a demonic creature, and when they fly up like a swarm of black bats, even the mid-level attendants will be in a hurry.

It is reasonable for personnel losses to occur.

This time, the leader of the Red Scales stopped in her tracks. She looked at Thain who was not far away from her and said, "Until now, we have lost five people."

"We can't go any further. I think we should take a break."

The Red Scale Captain's voice this time was not as aggressive as when she contradicted Earl Krug in the camp.

This signifies that she has recognized Thane, especially after Thain saved her two brothers and then demonstrated the giant fire wall technique in front of them.

Sure enough, compared to the individual fights of the knights, the range of damage done by the magicians on the battlefield explains what true massacre is.

A total of seven or eight Underdians who had no time to escape were directly burned to death in Thain's wall of fire.

In terms of efficiency, it surpasses these mercenary knights by an unknown amount.

Facing the red scale leader

Suggestion or rather request, Thain's calm face remained unmoved.

After a long time, until Captain Red Scale's patience was worn down to the extreme, Thain slowly said: "According to the information provided by the Principality of Gigson, the area of ​​this underground mine is not large, which means that there is There won’t be many demihuman tribes.”

"Based on the ratio of the demihuman clan's warriors to the general population, being able to sustain an attack of this level should be their limit."

"Not all demi-humans can hurt your mercenaries. The physique of most demi-humans is not even comparable to that of a teenage human boy."

"Their height determines the upper limit of their strength." Thane turned to the leader of the Red Scales and said.

"You seem to know the Underdians very well?" the leader of the Red Scales asked, raising his thick eyebrows.

"There are so many types of demi-humans in the wizarding world. I only know some of them relatively well."

"Let's move forward quickly, I feel like we are almost reaching the target point."

"Since the intensity of the demi-human attack here far exceeds that of the other two mercenary groups, it means that we are heading in the right direction." After that, Thain continued to move deeper into the cave.

"You all said that we are heading in the right direction. Does that mean we can call in the other two mercenary groups and the troops of the Gigson Principality who are watching the show outside?" The leader of the Red Scales followed Thain. Behind him, he asked.

It seems that this woman is not just as well-developed as she appears.

To be able to assume the position of mercenary leader as a female knight, in addition to strength, you also need to have other abilities.

This time, faced with the question from the leader of the Red Scales, Thane thought about it for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."

With Thane, the mage of the Holy Tower, personally nodding, Honglin hurriedly sent his mercenaries to call the other two mercenary groups and the soldiers of the Gigson Kingdom outside.

When he met Earl Krug again, the noble Earl looked very unhappy.

Although he is a noble earl, Earl Krug is far inferior to Thane's father, Earl Grant.

The earl had no idea how many treasures of heaven, earth, treasures and precious flesh and blood of monsters he had eaten before he reached the level of a senior knight attendant.

But compared to a knight attendant like Red Scale who had experienced hundreds of battles, Count Kru was far behind.

Fortunately, he still has two powerful senior servants under him, as well as those from the Gigson Kingdom.

Military equipment.

Regardless of the number of people or the field of combat power, these soldiers of the Gigson Kingdom should be the main force in this underground exploration.

"Master Thain, according to the contract we signed with those mercenary groups, this mission itself was contracted to those mercenaries..." After entering the underground, Earl Krug approached Thain and said.

However, Thain obviously did not have the energy to listen to his noises, and directly interrupted the bearded Earl. Thain said in a cold tone: "My task is to investigate and record this incident of Warcraft mutation and madness. Do you want me to put your Performance, should it be written into the memo for this mission?"

Thain's cold voice made Earl Krug choke.

For a nobleman like him, the Holy Tower of Blue Origin is simply an unimaginable behemoth.

If he hinders the mission of the Holy Tower, or leaves a bad reputation in the Holy Tower, his path to nobility in the Kingdom of Gigson will almost come to an end.

Count Kru, who suffered a defeat in Thain, dejectedly called his two personal guards to lead the soldiers.

The two young mercenaries of the Red Scale Mercenary Group who noticed the situation here boldly gave Thain a thumbs up.

The leader of the Red Scales did not come up to take the opportunity to ridicule Count Kru at this juncture. She just looked at this place from a distance, and her eyes were mainly on Thain.

The leaders of the other two mercenary groups also came to Thain to report the situation shortly afterwards.

Although the two mercenary groups suffered attacks after entering the underground mines, the frequency and intensity of attacks were not as high as that of the Red Scale mercenary group.

However, because the group had many ordinary young men without the power of fighting spirit, and unlike the Red Scale Mercenary Group, the toxins in the Underworld weapons were easily detoxified with the help of Thain.

Unexpectedly, the total number of casualties in the two mercenary groups so far has exceeded thirty.

Glancing at the two strong mercenary captains, Thane said: "We haven't encountered that quasi-level monster yet, including why those Underdians attacked us, and we have no clue yet."

"We are about to reach the target point. If you don't want to completely destroy the group, you'd better be careful."

Thain's words made the two strong men feel tense.

They looked at each other and said respectfully, "I understand."
