Chapter 25. Irish Town (7) Wild Wolf Mercenaries

     Goblins are an average wealthy race.

     There are often goblin merchants who come to the Mercenary Association to post tasks about collecting monster cores, black crystals, and special minerals.

     The girl who registered didn’t think it was strange to see Ye Mo, but she heard a very strange task.

     “Miss Maria, is your task sure to be ‘ensuring that the employer Maria kills 15 first-level monsters with her own hands and returns safely to the Irish town within two days’?”

     “Yes,” Ye Mo nodded and added, “I only want 7 of the 15 first-level monster cores killed, and the remaining 8 monster cores, including all the dead monster materials and other harvests, will all belong to the mercenary team.”

     “Okay.”

     After asking repeatedly, the recorder registered the task.

     Ye Mo gave a commission of 2 gold coins and a task handling fee of 2 silver coins.

     2 gold coins were temporarily deposited with the employment association to ensure the interests of both parties, and the beneficiary, Master Ian, was filled in for this purpose, silently apologizing to the “uncle” who only lived in memory.

     An hour passed, and no one asked.

     Two hours passed, and two employment teams came to inquire, but neither met Ye Mo’s selection criteria.

     One of the mercenary groups was too small and looked dangerous; the other mercenary group was too large, and her employment fee of 2 gold coins was useless to them, and the other party could not guarantee that they would return on the same day.

     This means there is more risk of being abandoned.

     It is not so easy to get a ride with a big group. Although this mercenary team looks very powerful, the tasks they do are also very powerful. It is not uncommon for mercenaries to suffer casualties.

     Ye Mo waited for another two hours.

     After rejecting two more mercenary groups, she finally met a small and medium-sized mercenary group called “Wild Wolf”.

     The Wild Wolf Mercenary Group has a total of eight people.

     The leader, Hook, is an intermediate swordsman with a beard, and the stern-faced deputy leader, Thomson, is also an intermediate swordsman.

     The remaining person is Jack, an intermediate archer, four are junior swordsmen, and finally there is a fire magician apprentice with a sweet smile, Hook’s biological sister Alice.

     The Wild Wolf Mercenary Group has been established in the Irish town for more than three years.

     This time they not only took one task, but the other two tasks were also to kill first-level monsters, and the main target was a part of the first-level monster.

     This is the most suitable team Ye Mo has met so far.

     Captain Hook’s cheerful personality is also easy to get along with. After a conversation, Ye Mo agreed to change the two-day return to town in the employment content to three-day return to town.

     Captain Hook took these low-level tasks to train his sister Alice. Among all the low-level tasks, there is no doubt that the Goblin’s task in front of him is the strangest, but also the highest commission.

     No longer hesitating, he handed over a certain proportion of the task deposit to the Mercenary Association.

     “Happy cooperation!”

     “Happy cooperation!”

 

…

 

     The big men of the mercenary group usually look like rough men, hanging out in various taverns all year round, but living in a world full of crises, even small people have their own survival philosophy.

     They are much more prepared than the rookie Ye Moqi.

     Captain Hook has a very precious storage ring. The space is not large, but it is enough to hold some small supplies, and there is still a large space left to hold the harvest of this mission.

     This does not mean that other people are empty-handed.

     Although their basic supplies are only some emergency water and food, in case of unexpected events, as for weapons, of course, they are hung on everyone’s body.

     The mercenaries will use a kind of green vine woven rope to tie a purposeful knot on their bodies, which is convenient for carrying various weapons.

     For example, the special bow that Archer Jack has been carrying on his back is exposed on the upper left side, and the bow can be pulled out at any time. A stack of matching iron arrows is inserted in the upper right side, and there is also an insect repellent powder bag on the waist, which is convenient and simple.

     This allows him to not have to think about or hold the bow and arrow all the way, and he can quickly take out his weapons when he encounters danger.

     It is worth mentioning that mercenaries cherish their weapons very much, and the losses they suffer on missions are all weapons and potions.

     Ye Mo, who is extremely lacking in outdoor survival experience, learned a lot of experience details from it at the beginning.

      Alice, who has a sunny personality and a bright smile, played a good lubricating role during the time of getting along.

     She is quite curious about the goblin tribe, but not the kind of curiosity with malicious intent.

     Ye Mo could not answer Alice to tell more about goblins, nor could she explain the reason for issuing such a strange task.

     Therefore, she chose to change the subject and show the mercenary group her professional identity as a junior craftsman, which was personally certified by Master Ian, a senior craftsman.

     The communication between the two sides became more harmonious.

     Even Thomson, the deputy head of the group in charge of finance, said: “I hope we can have the opportunity for long-term cooperation in the future.”

     Ye Mo smiled friendly in return.

 

……

 

     The Irish town surrounded by forests has more than one exit. All towns are designed in this way to give people a chance to escape when encountering a thousand-year-old beast tide.

     There are gates on the east, west, south, and north.

     Ye Mo followed Captain Hook and his men from the heavily guarded northern exit and left the relatively safe Irish town. She was one meter tall and followed the swordsmen who were an average of 1.9 meters tall, which was quite eye-catching.

     This is really helpless.

     Out of the town, the environment is really beautiful.

     The beautiful blue sky that is as transparent and pure as a mirror, the sparse trees nearby, the green bushes, and the clear stream.

     Even the air is very fresh.

     It looks like a peaceful scene, but even the young girl Alice put away her leisurely conversation and focused on the team’s safe travel.

     Ye Mo could feel the importance of their actions, even though she was facing a stream that might be empty.

     Walk along the stream. As time went by, the trees in front of them increased little by little, the bushes became deeper and deeper, and the unknown flowers and plants slowly began to reveal the mysterious veil of the forest.

     Trees, surrounded by dense trees.

     Ye Mo roughly knew what the forest on Earth looked like, but this copy was more terrifying than the original forest on Earth.

     Thousands of years old trees gathered together, and the layers of leaves blocked the sunlight tightly, making it very easy to get lost. Even after getting the direction, they were still confused and didn’t know where to go.

     Sometimes the most dangerous thing in the forest may not be the beasts. At least a person with a pure sense of direction will never be able to survive alone. The maps sold in the town are difficult to use here, and you have to rely on your brain to remember.

     The map was bought in vain.

     The mercenary group had already found a relatively safe shortcut.

     With the help of the magic array device that pointed the direction, they moved quickly. The bushes on the ground and the vines that blocked the road were not a problem. They shuttled smoothly in the forest.

     Alice said that they were only on the periphery of the periphery of the forest now, and this was not a forest.

     If the survivors really treat this mission as a game to kill monsters, they will really be finished. The mission also includes how to survive in the wild. No wonder the mortality rate is so high.

     Ye Mo is very glad that there are relatively few insects in this world, otherwise the challenges will be even greater.

     Deputy Captain Thomson still has a certain understanding of the goblins. As expected, they did not hold them back physically. As for Ye Mo’s calm and non-disruptive character, that was a pleasant surprise.

     He secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He was not a difficult person to serve!

 

…

 

     Gradually, the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group began to reap rewards.

     Whether it is ordinary herbs or edible fruits, as long as it is easy to pick and the time is within the calculation range, they are not afraid to come. No matter how small a mosquito is, it is meat. It is not easy to go on a mission.

     Ye Mo will not forcefully insert or stop their actions, nor will she complain. These performances have won the good impression of the mercenaries.

     Gradually, she got a lot of forest survival guides.

     First of all, the town in Ireland is similar to the southern region of the earth, with four distinct seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, but the climate of the year will not affect the combat effectiveness and survival and reproduction mode of magic beasts and mercenaries.

     Captain Hook: “The higher the level of magic beasts, the more territorial awareness they have. There are basically no low-level and medium-level magic beasts in the high-level magic beast area. Conversely, there are often no high-level and medium-level magic beasts in the low-level magic beast area.”

     “In the forest, there are many types of high-level magic beasts that like to live alone, and there are more types of low-level magic beasts that like to gather in groups. The middle-level magic beasts are between the two.” From Captain Thomson.

     The archer said: “Many times, the biggest dilemma of the first-level magic beast mission is not how difficult it is to kill a first-level magic beast alone, but that you have to face their group encirclement and suppression, and not only humans will cooperate.”

     “Most solitary low-level magic beasts will avoid human groups, but they are very cunning to attack mercenaries who are unfortunately scattered.” Alice added.

     “Thank you, these are all very useful.”

     Ye Mo memorized all the information from the mercenary. The biggest difficulty in killing Monsters is that this is a copy of the world with rules, not a simple single-player monster killing.

 

…

 

     Sss~

     The tiny sound in the bushes stopped Ye Mo in her tracks.

     Captain Hook had already made a dangerous gesture, and everyone in the team was on alert, holding their weapons.

     Including Ye Mo.

     But they saw that something seemed to be hiding in the bushes on the south side of the upwind vent within 100 meters of them, and it was crawling towards them at a very fast speed.

     In an instant, there were only 30 meters left!

     Whoosh–

     Without hesitation, Jack climbed up the tree, looked at the angle, estimated the speed, and shot the first arrow.

     Successfully hit!

     “Hiss!”

     A black snake that was more than ten meters long screamed in pain due to the stimulation of the arrow.

     It stood tall from the bushes, its slender body was nearly ten meters long in an instant, spitting red tongue at the enemy, and there were wounds on its body that had just been pierced by arrows, bleeding red.

     This time, the black snake no longer crawled quickly, but its upper body flew up and covered ten miles.

     A junior swordsman came forward. 

     His goal was the seven inches of the upper body of the black snake, but the black snake dodged it. Kaka, the sword chopped on its body, blood spurted out, and only blood skin remained at the connection.

     The black snake tried to bite the junior swordsman, opening its big fangs.

     An arrow and a fireball attacked its head and at the same time, the junior swordsman quickly took cover.

     Another sprint!

     “Hiss!”

     The snake broke!

     The tail end was no longer a threat, but the snake’s head was still dangerous, so a beginner swordsman continued to stab it.

     When the snake was almost stabbed, Captain Hook looked at the goblin in the team.

     Motioned her to go ahead.

     Okay, with the Wild Wolf Mercenaries, killing a first-level monster is just a matter of swinging an axe. Moreover, when killing a first-level monster, the mercenaries will guard closely to guard against the half-dead snake beast.

     Ye Mo: “…”
