Lord of Plenty

"Hehe~ Bah!"

Dawn, who was helped by his men to escape, spit out a large mouthful of thick phlegm mixed with black blood clots, and his pale face finally regained some color.

Sighing softly, I always felt like I was having a bad time. First, I was very embarrassed and injured my arm by a second-level blue-armored bear. This time, I was plotted by others and I had to endure the Fury of the Earth Dragon, which was at least the peak of the third level. With one blow, the internal organs were displaced.

He was able to survive thanks to a piece of high-level inner armor that he had been rewarded by Marquis Lawrence after serving in the Alan family for many years.

He stretched his hand to his chest. The animal skin armor on the outside was already in tatters. Even the inner armor that had been solidified with high-level defensive magic on the inside had three terrifying and hideous scratches. It was nothing like scrap. Big difference.

Maybe it will be a fourth-level high-level monster?

Dawn couldn't help but reveal a wry smile. It was probably no one else's luck. He was repairing traps at the border of the Forest of Eternal Darkness, but he still encountered such an overlord in the core area. Who could he ask to reason with?

"Cough cough cough~"

"Sir, are you okay?"

"Ahem, it's okay, I'm much better."

Dawn, who had regained some strength, stared dangerously at the other group of people here, six mercenaries who were in a terrible state, and one man who was also wearing armor, but his fair skin and coquettish temperament all told that Dawn, this guy was the culprit who brought them so much trouble today.

He should be an aristocratic young man who was so full that he wanted to die but still wanted to drag others to die with him, and ventured into the Forest of Eternal Darkness, which was considered a forbidden area.

Dawn really gritted his teeth with hatred. He was fed up with the stupid ideas of these damn noble idiots, so he took the initiative to serve as the captain of Kun's bodyguard. At least the lord he served would not act like a lord when he knew that there was a big hole ahead. Jump inside, even if he is a powerful third-level mage, he has enough self-protection ability.

Originally, Dawn was severely injured and the two sides were evenly matched in strength. Under the threat of the terrifying earth dragon, the two sides had to put aside their prejudices and escape together. Now, things have changed, and the people of the guard group have immediately found their backbone. , in an instant, the two sides became tense.

The left eye was covered with a black eyepatch and there was an obvious scar on his face. The old mercenary with gray hair on his temples took the initiative to stand in front of the unknown aristocratic young man.

"Isn't it a bad idea for Your Excellency, Great Warrior, to do this? Rather than holding someone responsible, it would be wiser to find a way to get rid of that terrible monster as soon as possible. I don't deny that Your Excellency's combat skills are extraordinary. It's nothing to think about. Although we are unknown people, our Bingya mercenary group is not easy to mess with. We will do whatever it takes for our mission.”

"You're farting. The Bingya Mercenary Group is a large mercenary group. You crooked melons and jujubes can't impersonate you. If you hadn't suddenly ran out of Chang An Forest and attracted that monster, How could the captain be injured? How could we escape with you? It's all your fault. Now you have the nerve to say it's not the time to hold anyone responsible. If you don't hold the man accountable now, then when will he be held accountable? When we are all clawed by that monster. When you shoot to death?”

"We are indeed members of the Bingya mercenary group. This is the Bingya badge. If you still don't believe it, I can't help it. What happened today is indeed our fault. As long as we can escape safely this time, our employer I am willing to pay six times, no, ten times the compensation for your losses.”

Are they really from the Bingya Mercenary Group?

Glancing at the ice blue badge, Dawn's expression turned gloomy. He had heard the name of this mercenary group, and he had even met the leader of the Bingya Mercenary Group a few times, and they were just acquaintances.

However, although this mercenary group is a large mercenary group, it is not considered top-notch among the many large mercenary groups in the kingdom. The most famous thing is that this mercenary group has a good reputation, values ​​credibility, and is ruthless in doing things. In order to complete the tasks missions, often at any cost, even the lives of members.

But do you think that moving out of the Bingya Mercenary Group can easily get rid of this matter? Dawn sneered, let alone just a veteran member, the current leader of the Bingya Mercenary Group is here, so what?

"Boom~"

Just when the two sides were still unable to hold on, there was a loud thunder-like sound in the forest behind. It was the terrifying movement caused when a large tree was violently knocked away. The monster followed up again!

"wrong!"

Dawn's expression changed, and he drew out his sword, and the soldiers of the guard group also pointed their swords at the mercenaries.

The old mercenary's face changed wildly, "Are you crazy? The monster is going to chase you soon. If we don't run away, we will have to live and die here? I'm afraid that the monster will catch up before we finish killing each other. Kill us all with one claw!"

"Huh, as long as you are here, I really can't run away."

"What did you say? Why can't I understand you?"

"Stop pretending. There is something on your body that keeps attracting the monster. That's why we escaped a few times and were quickly caught up by the monster again. I only say this once, throw away the thing, otherwise, you will It’s better to die here first.”

Dao En was full of murderous intent, and the power and courage of a third-level peak warrior were fully displayed. The other well-trained members of the guard group also calmly surrounded the mercenaries in the center, waiting for Dao En's order to start. Take action.

Although the members of the guard group that Kun brought from the royal capital were not large in number, they were all carefully selected. Those who were not strong enough had long been sent back by Daun, including Joel and Ledo. The newcomer moved a beat slower. If Dao En was still in charge of the guard group, he would have been severely punished when he returned. It was normal for his skin to peel off.

The aristocratic young man who was being guarded in the center had a face as pale as a dead man. The naked murderous intention directed only at him made the hairs on his body stand upright, as if he would be killed by the big sword in the next second.

"Hi~his~his~"

Suddenly, many pairs of scarlet eyes appeared in the dark surroundings, and sounds like snakes spitting messages were heard everywhere.

"It's the Green Dragon Iguana. There are so many here, five, six, no, they are always moving and I can't even count them."

The Green Dragon Iguana is a low-level monster with a body length of less than two meters. It lives in the forest and is widely distributed. It can spit out highly corrosive venom from its mouth. It has a keen sense of smell and moves very fast. It belongs to the lowest level. The dragonborn has a trace of green dragon blood.

The reason why Dawn was able to tell that the monster was an advanced earth dragon was because the big guy got better at chasing them several times and no longer relied on its absolute strength to fight alone.

Because it found that although it was very powerful, its bloated body still greatly limited its speed, so it chased those annoying mice several times. It began to summon helpers, namely those green dragon iguanas.

One of the characteristics of the dragon species is that the upper dragon species can control the lower dragon species at will. Even if the two have no blood relationship at all and their races are completely different, they can still be commanded at will. That is the absolute obedience imprinted deep in the blood.

"Breakout!"

Dawn raised the sword in his hand and roared violently.

"Go to death holding your secret. If you dare to follow me again, I will kill you first."

"Come at me!"

With a strong breath, the sword flashed, and the violent fighting spirit directly smashed the two green dragon iguanas blocking the road. Dawn took the lead and rushed out of the encirclement of the green dragon iguanas.

The root cause had not been found before, and the terrifying earth dragon was hotly pursuing him. Dao En did not dare to run in the direction of the Fengharu Territory, for fear of annihilating the Fengharu Territory, so he could only lead these people on the outskirts of the Ever Dark Forest. Spin.

Now that the real reason has been found, Dao En will naturally lead the guards back to the territory. As for the mercenaries, he has already made it clear whether he cares about their life or death. If he dares to follow them again, he will be killed without mercy!

The faces of the mercenaries who were left behind changed wildly. Although most of the green dragon iguanas chasing them were attracted away, the real fatal danger came from the terrifying earth dragon approaching behind them. If they were really chased by that earth dragon, Go on, they don't have the ability to resist it.

The old mercenary at the head made a decisive decision:

"Go after them."

"But……"

The one-eyed old mercenary turned to look at the noble boy and said sternly, regardless of being rude:

"Take out that earth dragon egg, otherwise we won't be able to escape."

This mission failed. Even if it paid such a heavy price, the Bingya Mercenary Group could still bear it. But if this noble person died in the Forest of Eternal Darkness, then there would probably be no more Bingya mercenaries. If we are together, we should choose the lesser of two evils, which is also a no-brainer.

The handsome and thin noble boy gritted his teeth. It was only when the one-eyed mercenary was impatient and ready to take action that he took out the earth dragon egg from the space pendant. The dark golden dragon egg exuded powerful magic power, and the green dragon egg that was originally besieging them was The dragon iguana was frightened by the breath of the dragon eggs and immediately hesitated.

But the crisis was not resolved. The earth dragon approaching behind them seemed to be strongly stimulated and roared to the sky. The roaring sound behind them was approaching them at a faster speed.

The one-eyed old mercenary snatched the dragon egg, which was the size of a watermelon, and threw it to a short mercenary.

"Lao Wu."

"Leave it to me."

The short mercenary grinned, without any complaints, and ran away in the other direction holding the dragon egg.

"That direction is..."

The noble boy was a little stunned, because the direction in which the mercenaries holding the dragon eggs fled was an area that the great warrior had clearly told them not to approach. There was a large group of bloody demon wolves entrenched there. Running in that direction was not an escape. But to die.

The terrifying roar behind him stopped for a moment, and then he abandoned the crowd surrounded by the green dragon iguana and chased in the direction in which the mercenary escaped.

Pulling the noble boy behind him, the one-eyed mercenary shouted through his teeth with red eyes:

"Let's go!"

Old Jili secretly regretted in his heart. If he had known that it would end like this, he should not have been blinded by the desire for gain. He thought that with his ability to survive in the wild, which he had been able to survive in the various monster forests in the kingdom for most of his life, he could only be careful. At one point, it was just taking a person to wander around the Forest of Everlasting Darkness for two times. There would be no problem, but in the end, so many old brothers were killed.

If the Bingya Mercenary Group hadn't encountered trouble in the south, and the guy behind him happened to be able to help them, he would have long ago... A trace of murderous intent flashed through Old Jili's remaining eyes.

"It hurts. You're hurting me."

"Sorry, we need to be faster. Only by catching up with those in front can we escape from here safely."

"Then, let go. I can run faster by myself."

"Okay, then follow closely and don't fall behind."

The two teams running wildly in the outer circle of the Ever Dark Forest were not very far apart. It didn’t take long for the mercenary team to catch up with the guards in front.

“You don’t understand what I’m saying, right?”

Dawn turned his sword and pointed it at the six people chasing behind him, with murderous intent in his eyes.

Old Kiri threw away his weapon and shouted:

"Respected Great Warrior, you should have seen that the man behind me is not a mercenary from the Ice Fang Mercenary Group, but the employer of our mission, a child of a noble family."

"I don't care who he is, I will kill all of you. How can a dead person come to trouble me?"

"He is the young master of the Smith family, the third son of Earl Breton. If you think it is more valuable to kill us than to save us, then please do it. Besides, we have already led the earth dragon away as you wish. It's just some green dragon iguanas that are entangled with people. I don't think they are the opponent of the Great Warrior."

Dawn ignored the hidden sarcasm in the words of the one-eyed old mercenary. If your people don't want to be the bait, do you want my people to be the bait?

I'm not your biological father. There is no such good thing in the world. Besides, even if it is your biological father, not everyone can do this. After all, there is a ready-made example in front of us.

But the young master of the Smith family, the third son of Earl Breton?

A troublesome guy.

The status of a noble is not necessarily a life-saving talisman, let alone the son of a noble, but some noble status is indeed a life-saving talisman. No one dares to provoke it, not only will it bring great trouble to oneself, but even family and friends may be affected.

Earl Breton is famous for being rich enough to rival a country in the kingdom. The Smith family controls 30% of the economic lifeline of the rich south. People from this family have always been the first choice of the kingdom's finance minister. Sometimes when the kingdom's treasury is short of money, it even needs to borrow from the Smith family.

The Smith family never asks for interest, but the favor is indeed owed.

What's more troublesome is that the Smith family has always been an important ally of the Alan family. When Earl Breton was in the capital, he would visit Marquis Lawrence at the Marquis's mansion from time to time. Dawn has also seen the big-bellied Earl who looks very rich.

If it was any other noble, even if it was the son of an earl, he could just leave it alone. Even if his lord was not welcomed in the family, he was still the child of the Alan family, and he still had half royal blood.

But this one, even if he didn't know whether it was true or not, he had to save him.

Otherwise, he would have no way to explain to the lord.
