The spirit of war in DNF is immortal.A

Chapter 354 One Year Later
The giant beast of the sky curtain, the No. [-] human gathering place.

With a loud bang, a man with scars on his face slammed his helmet on the dilapidated wine table in the tavern, and sat down depressed.

"What's the matter, Karl? Are you so angry?" The glamorous bar proprietress came over with a bottle of vodka, and asked with a light smile.

"Oh ho ho, that's needless to say. It must be that Karl was knocked down by the holy mercenary group again. This year has been No.20 eight times, haha!" Before the man with the scar could answer, the man sitting next to him A dozen warrior drinkers burst into laughter, and one of them said.

"Get out of here, Polly, it's not that I was slapped down by the holy mercenary group alone. Look at the tens of thousands of guys in this gathering place, which one has not been slapped down once or twice? I just got a little too many times. "The scarred man's expression was obviously a little unnatural, and he murmured indignantly.

"What's so good about the Holy Mercenary Corps? It's not a big organization. What can you say about your unrelenting desire to get in? I heard that the Illuminati Church squad and the Magic Guild Legion are also recruiting. Why don't you go? Where are they?" A young archer who obviously just came here from Sky City frowned immaturely and asked.

"Are you new here? Child." The scarred man looked at the boy speechlessly and said.

"Uh... yes. I am a graduate of the West Coast Mowu Academy. I came here with my mentor and classmates in response to the Principality's call. Hello, senior!" Get up, and bow to the man with the scar.

"Oh, it's a student. It's normal if you don't know. But after you get out of this gate, don't ask this stupid topic again. The Church of Light and the Magician's Union are indeed super-class forces in the mainland. In the circle of beast fighters, the status of the Holy Mercenary Group is much higher than them. The first choice of all fighters who are determined to avenge Rotes is the Holy Mercenary Group. Only those who really cannot enter the Mercenary Group will go to The recruitment office of the two superpowers." The scarred man took the spirit vodka from the hand of the glamorous proprietress with a bitter face, took a sip and said with bared teeth: "As for why the holy mercenary group has such a high You don’t need to ask about the reputation, you will know it after a long time. I just suggest that if you and your mentor and classmates want to slaughter those damn aliens safely and happily, joining the Holy Mercenary Group is the best choice. The other two Great power..."

"Oh..." The young boy obviously still had many questions, but seeing that the man with the scar and the rest of the fighters in the tavern had tacitly said nothing, he began to think thoughtfully.

"Oh!"

The wooden door of the tavern was suddenly blown open by a gust of wind, and a white-haired old warrior with a ruddy face appeared. He ran in and simply grabbed the scarred man's vodka and drank it down. Then he shouted excitedly: "The holy mercenary group has finally started recruiting! Scar Karl has been selected as the team's vice-captain. There are dozens of other guys in our tavern who have been selected! The government affairs hall of the gathering place has posted Announcement!"

Hearing this, the scarred man who had been robbed of a good drink and was about to go into a rage froze for a moment, then ran out of the bar laughing like crazy, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.The rest of the men who were watching the theater in the bar stopped laughing badly, but threw down their wine glasses and ran out in the same ecstasy.

"Hey, you bastards, pay for the drink before leaving!" This made the glamorous proprietress of the tavern furious and shouted from behind.

"It's okay, let them go. This time the drink money will be double charged, hehe..." The middle-aged tavern owner who came out from the backstage stopped the woman's roar and said with a smirk.

……

There is actually no government affairs hall in the No. [-] gathering place.

Not only here, there were no so-called government affairs halls in the eighteen gathering places.Because at that time the mercenary regiment that controlled the gathering place was the administrative center of a gathering place.Since the alien race under the control of Rotes started the strongest counterattack wave in 982, the original gathering place suffered a great impact.The only eight surviving masters of the gathering place started a revolving rotation, and fierce mercenary group battles took place every day.

Because they couldn't see such a large amount of internal friction, the holy mercenary group, which played a huge role in the battle to defend the human gathering place, decisively abolished the system of the mercenary group controlling the gathering place, and established a division of the mercenary group in the remaining eight human gathering places. An administrative center born from the synthesis of various forces.Until now, all information materials and war news have to be signed by the government affairs hall before they can be released. It is an organization that gathers power.The existence of personnel from various factions in the government affairs hall can be regarded as relatively balancing the current situation of complicated forces, and temporarily stabilized the panic situation of the giant beast in the sky.

But although each faction can make its own voice, no one dares to disobey the words of the sacred mercenary group, which has nearly ten thousand warriors and is undoubtedly the number one force of the Sky Veil Behemoth.

This is the suppression of strength and it is inevitable.

——Roronoa, head of the Holy Mercenary Corps, in 981 of the mainland calendar. "

Looking at the notice that seemed harsh, it made at least nearly [-] people around the government affairs hall extremely excited.Everyone couldn't help the waves in their hearts, and rushed towards the holy mercenary group located at the outermost periphery of the eighth gathering place.The Warcraft cloth and ink pens sold in the grocery stores around the government affairs hall were sold out almost instantly.

……

Sky Veil Behemoth, the resident of the Holy Mercenary Corps.

In the large garrison, warriors dressed in tight clothes and holding sharp knives can be seen patrolling around.Although it looks inconspicuous, these fighters are all masters above the 35th legendary level, and they are more than enough to be the leader of a weaker mercenary group.The eight guards standing silently at the door were even more astonishing. Although their faces were sealed by dense helmets, the terrifying and holy waves emanating from their bodies had already clearly told the visitors that they had surpassed the fortieth order or above. Strong presence.

"How is Leo?"

In a certain secret room of the resident, Roronoa, who was wearing a huge cross and an old priest's robe, asked solemnly.A year's time has hardly left any marks on his face, except that the beard has grown more.

"It's still the same, sometimes awake and sometimes drowsy. But the injury on the heart has almost healed." Ophelia, who has been in charge of taking care of the land battle for the past year, wiped off the fine sweat that flowed out, and said happily: "I feel the black blade The adults are about to wake up."

"Hurry up and wake up. It's too hard to be this bad team leader. I can't get used to it at all..." With a long sigh and shaking his head, Roronoya sat next to Lu Zhan, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, and said slowly .

"Thank you, Knight Roronoa. But there is no other way, you are the only one who can lead these guys without being suspected." Paris, who was also retreating and comprehending in a corner of the secret room, opened her sinister eyes , but the expression on his face was very gentle, and he said with a smile.

"I'll try my best." Roronoa responded with a wry smile upon hearing this.

This secret room was established a year ago.

At that time, because of the outbreak of the alien frenzy of Rotes, the black blade team that had been hiding in the depths of purgatory fled helplessly with a large number of holy undead spirits, and soon merged into the sea of ​​human beings fleeing.After experiencing many things and coincidences, at the critical moment of being closely pursued by the forces of Rotes.All the members of the Black Blade Squad exploded with their strength, and even Lu Zhan, who fell into a deep coma and could only wake up occasionally, temporarily handed over the control of the undead to Tina, who was the most talented in large army battles.Afterwards, relying on these undead creatures like arms, Tina's dreamlike command talent was activated, and she actually resisted Rotes' chasing frenzy.

After this battle, Nina's holy mercenary group became famous overnight.The temporary leader Roronoa was also exposed in front of all the warriors of the Sky Veil Behemoth, and became a banner for human beings to resist the forces of Roots.

After that, the holy mercenary group logically occupied the top of the newly reshuffled forces, and unexpectedly took the leadership position of the remaining combatants of the Skyveil Behemoth.A huge resident and this mysterious secret room were also built on the periphery of the eighth gathering place.

For the past year, Lu Zhan, who sometimes wakes up, has reluctantly given part of the method of summoning undead to the cautious Tina.The size of the undead army gradually began to increase.Except for Roronoa who doesn't have much exposure and appears in front of the public from time to time, the rest of the Black Blade team either bothered about Lu Zhan's injuries and searched for a good medicine that has a miraculous effect on the wounds, or stayed silent in this secret room Retreat.Only Ophelia, who strongly demanded to take care of Lu Zhan's daily life, was busy wiping Lu Zhan's body and eating, doing some tedious things every day.

Wiping the bed, lighting the fire, cooking, the sweaty Ophelia repeated all these again, and the tinkling sound indicated that there was still life in this secret room.

"Miss Ophelia, thank you for your hard work." Looking at the tired red-haired girl with an apologetic expression, Roronoa could not help but bow.

"It's nothing, this is what I asked to do, and I'm very satisfied!" Wiping the fine sweat from her forehead, Ophelia smiled, looking so beautiful and happy.

"Dong dong!"

"Roronoa, it's time to come out. The sub-group is already full of fighters who have come to recruit, and we can't hold back without you!"

"Understood, Miss Tina."

Roronoa wanted to say something, but was stopped by the voice from the secret room.Hearing Tina's tired voice, the holy knight shrugged helplessly at Ophelia, sighed and walked out.

Roronoa is the fig leaf of the holy undead team. Only a genuine light clergyman as the leader can relieve others' doubts about this strange organization that does not speak a word, is extremely silent but is full of sacred aura.But the real spiritual and material pillar of the team is still Tina. Summoning the undead, controlling the undead, marching, logistics, food, team decision-making, almost all the most important things of the Holy Mercenary Corps ultimately depend on the decision of this glamorous woman.Therefore, Tina, who was hidden in the dark but put in the most effort, was the biggest contributor to the growth of the Holy Mercenary Corps in just one year.

With the bang of the door, the light in the secret room dimmed again.Lucio, Paris, Nina, Ophelia, and Lu Zhan who were hiding in this small corner fell into darkness once again.Perhaps until the awakening of Lu Zhan one day, it will be the decisive moment for this secret room to reopen and radiate light.
