Virtual World: Close Combat Mage

Quiet, deathly quiet.

The focus, the focus of everyone's attention.

The person who said this was just a small figure in the mercenary group. The Oathless Sword, who was doing the math, turned around in shock. Seeing such a guy, he smiled calmly: "Ask your captain to come and talk to me!"

The man nodded: "That's what our group leader asked me to say, and our entire group also agreed to withdraw from this mission."

Only then did Oathless Sword take this seriously, and stood up slowly, with anger already on his face. Quitting the task at this time is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire. The Oathless Sword personnel inventory has probably been completed for the most part, and the current count is over 300. It is roughly estimated that there are still about 400 players across the world, which is nearly half. The mercenary group suffered even more heavy losses. There were originally more than 500 people, but now there are only about 20 people left.

But the problem is that the players who died in Zonghengsihai have failed the mission and returned to Cloud City. As for the players of the mercenary group, as long as Todd is not dead, their mission will not be considered a failure, and they will be resurrected in White Rock City, and they can arrive at Linyin City in more than three hours. Oathless Sword and the others hired so many mercenary groups just to prevent the current situation where the guild's manpower was greatly damaged. But now, the members of the mercenary group actually said that they would withdraw from the mission. Oathless Sword believed that he was not the only one who thought it was too much.

Unexpectedly, before he could speak, the leaders or temporary representatives of three more mercenary groups stood up: "We also want to withdraw." "You guys!!!" Oathless Sword was so angry that he didn't know what to say. The other party's tone was firm, and it seemed that he was basically informing him that he would never discuss it with Oathless Sword again.

"Would you be going too far if you quit at this time?" There are many players across the world who are unhappy. At this time someone stood up and spoke.

Among the four mercenary groups that ended up quitting. One person nodded and said, "Yes, I'm a little sorry. So our group decided to refund the deposit in full." After saying that, the person turned around and communicated with several brothers in the group. Everyone rummaged through their pockets and gathered together. He picked up a money bag and handed it to the Oathless Sword.

Different mercenary groups have different rules for deposits. Sometimes employers who are eager to find mercenaries will use this method to attract people to take the bait. For example, in this mission of Zonghengsihai, there is a rule that half of the deposit is paid first, and the other half is paid after the mission is completed. Even if the guild mission ultimately fails, the deposit will not be recovered.

However, the mercenary group is voluntarily withdrawing from the mission. This has never happened before. The Oathless Sword only regrets that there is no breach of contract clause. He didn't reach out to accept the deposit returned by the other party. Behind him, Feng Xing had already stood up and said angrily: "This is not about money. The problem is that you guys are too bad at keeping your word, right?"

The other party obviously didn't feel that what he had done was such a glorious thing, he didn't raise his head very high, and his eyes flickered away from contact with Feng Xing, Oathless Sword and the others.

He said calmly: "I'm sorry. We really feel that our capabilities are not enough to cope with this mission."

"It turns out I'm afraid." Feng Xing sneered. In fact, everyone can imagine that someone would back down at this time, and there is really no reason other than fear.

"Afraid?" Unexpectedly, the other party was actually dissatisfied with this word. After looking at Feng Xing, he continued his gentle attitude: "In this mission, to put it bluntly, we are here to be cannon fodder. We already understand this truth, if it is true If we were afraid, would we take on such a mission?"

Feng Xing was startled.

"President Unsworn, you should still remember how you attracted us to run this mission in the first place, right? Just for the mercenary fee? Haha, I'm afraid none of the mercenary brothers present are just so angry. This mission requires us to visit five major cities. Now we have visited three of them, including Moonlight, White Rock, and Linyin. The mission is three-fifths of the way over. In my opinion, our estimate seems to be a bit wrong. This mission is not as good as we imagined. The extra income from the project. There is also a high-risk, zero-reward link like a two-way mission. After discussion, we decided that it is really difficult for us to continue this mission. That’s all, you can feel free to think about it as you please!”

After the player said these words, seeing that Oathless Sword still had no intention of taking his money bag, he bent down and gently put the money bag on the ground, turned around and waved: "Let's go."

Several players immediately separated from the crowd and returned to the woods without looking back.

The other three families were about to leave, but they felt that the brother just now had said all they could say, so they silently took out their money bags and put them on the ground, turned around and led everyone away.

The Oathless Sword was about to say something, but he didn't expect this behavior to spread like a plague. People from five more mercenary groups stepped forward, silently put down their money bags, and silently turned around and left.

"Hey, you guys..." Feng Xing wanted to chase after him angrily, but was held back by the Oathless Sword. He shook his head and said, "Forget it, let them go!"

Looking around again, Oathless Sword said in a deep voice: "Are you still leaving?"

The remaining mercenary groups looked at each other, among them was the largest black-handed mercenary group in Yunduan City. Although the leader, Black Index Finger, was killed in battle, he did not retreat. At this time, Drifting was still in the team, standing at the head of the team calmly.

After that, the girls of the Amethyst Mercenary Group did not retreat. Apart from the young master group, they were the only ones unscathed. Considering how weak they were, this was simply a miracle.

Then there are the wretched men from Big Hunt. These guys didn't suffer much damage in the forest battle, but their main losses were in Moon Night City.

In addition, there were two ordinary mercenary groups that did not choose to leave at this time. Of course, the six members of the Young Master's Regiment were also present.

But none of the six mercenary groups, Oathless Sword, paid much attention to it. Instead, they looked at the seventh mercenary group present with great relief, and called out very emotionally: "Xiao Shang."

"Ouch..." Yutian Shenming immediately made a painful expression as if he had been poisoned.

"Don't scream so disgustingly, call my full name Gu Xiaoshang!!" Gu Xiaoshang said angrily.

"Thank you for staying." The Oathless Sword continued to be emotional. Even his own people in the guild couldn't bear it, Feng Xing coughed crazily on the side.

In addition to these seven guilds, there were several other people standing there in fear, but they were players from the Silver Moon Mercenary Group. At present they are truly leaderless. Even if the leader of other groups is not present, he is still in the channel, and the decision is still made by the leader. And among them, although Yinyue still has a name, everyone has ignored him. Even if he has something to say, no one will listen. There are different opinions in the channel for a while, and they haven't come up with an idea yet.

These people still recognized the Oathless Sword, and nodded to them and said: "I'm afraid your mercenary group can only exist in name only, but as long as you continue, I will still pay the remaining half of the amount." For you guys."

"Give us five people?" the five asked. There are a total of 40 people in the Silver Moon Mercenary Group. It was originally divided into 40 people, but if it is given to five people, it is equivalent to increasing the price.

Oathless Sword nodded: "All the brothers who have just sacrificed their lives, as long as they are willing to come over and continue, you can share the money."

"Okay, okay!" The five people agreed happily, but they didn't dare to keep the news privately, and relayed it to others in the channel. So there were those who were willing to come and those who were unwilling to come, and this wave of people was just settled.

The Oathless Sword stared at the remaining mercenary groups, filled with emotion. Just when he was about to say something, he suddenly saw Qianli Yi from the Young Master Corps walking out, his steps as silent and firm as those players who left.

"Holy shit!!!" Oathless Sword felt angry again. He should have thought a long time ago that these guys would definitely add insult to injury and give up at this critical moment.

Gu Fei, who didn't want to come out, said instead: "President Wushu, is there anything else? If nothing happens, please log off immediately."

"Ah? Offline?" Oathless Sword was stunned, but he didn't expect Gu Fei to ask such a simple question. He didn't even realize what Gu Fei was talking about. How could such a master say he was going offline at such a time?

"Yes, it's getting late." Gu Fei nodded eagerly, confirming that he was an anomaly.

"Oh, offline, oh!" Oathless Sword woke up from a dream and said quickly: "We still need to escort Todd to the dungeon for a while, and that's it. So everyone, hurry up!"

Everyone's expressions immediately became alert. It was obvious that Shuishen's group would not simply give up on their mission just because they left the forest. However, in the town, the players of Cloud City will not stand aside at all. At present, we still have more than 600 people, and there are many masters among them. If you really want to fight to the death due to the deep water, then everyone will have to fight to the death.

With this indomitable momentum, the players in Cloud City have officially entered Linyin City.

Most of the houses and other buildings in the tree-lined city are made of wood, which makes its village atmosphere more intense. In addition, the streets are full of busy players, who will also be curious and wary of a large group of strangers suddenly appearing. This is no different from other major cities.

At this time, Brother You, who was good at observing and summarizing, quickly discovered a problem.

"Have you noticed?" Brother You said, "The player professions here are very unbalanced. Warriors, knights, priests, and fighters. How many of these four professions have you seen along the way?"

"Very few indeed!" everyone recalled.

"The streets are full of archers!" everyone sighed.

"And it seems that most of them are lurkers." Brother You said, "Has the surrounding environment caused the abnormal development of the profession in this main city? No wonder many people said that they had friends in this city, but later they moved away... …”

"Hey, friends from Yunduan City, how are you?" Suddenly a voice came, and everyone turned around, only to see Shui Shen sitting cross-legged on the roof with a smile, holding his knees with one hand, and raising his other hand to wave to everyone.
