Foreigner's Journey

When and where was that man born, and when and how did he raise his arms?There is no record of him appearing on the stage of history before in any document.

It is said that the emperor never showed mercy to his enemies.Those merciless battles endowed the emperor with the titles of "Demon King" and "King Who Runs with Death".But the designation serves another purpose.

That is the scary helmet that Garselik loves to use in battle that mimics the skeleton.

After unifying the entire continent, no one dared to disobey the emperor, and the emperor fell into madness.

It is said that the great sage who spent decades working hand in hand with the emperor to build the country was driven by the emperor into a bottomless vertical cave like an abyss, where he was tortured and tortured every day.

It is said that workers from all over the country were gathered by the emperor and forced them to do heavy labor to build an incomparably magnificent and luxurious capital.

It is said that the emperor was still dissatisfied after that, and spent every day extravagantly, and the people were burdened with heavy taxes and suffered unspeakably.

[God] finally couldn't bear to see what the skeleton emperor did, and sent four angels from the sky to the world.

Thunder and flames fell from the sky, and the violent earthquake never stopped throughout the night. The capital completely disappeared from the earth overnight.

Of course, such stories are nothing more than fairy tales.

However, since the death of the emperor and the collapse of the capital city, it is an indisputable fact that the mainland has been gradually divided into the territories of various countries.Since the emperor has no heirs, so although they are not directly related, the Midland royal family claims to have a remote blood relationship with the overlord Garselik, and considers themselves to be the orthodox descendants of the empire.

At the same time, because the magnificent capital was the center of the empire, the first generation of the Mitland royal family also named the country Mitland.

Kingdom of Midland, the capital of Windham City.

The warm sunlight reflected on the white slate floor through the colored windows. Humphrey, King of Midland, who was honored as the "King of Dignity" by the people and ministers, sat on a high throne and looked down at the half-kneeling man below. Garda, the white dog general, frowned slightly:

"Mr. Garda, you mean... just 12 people defeated the Scorpion Knights of the Yoda Empire? And they also captured the Sun Fortress a few months ago?"

"It is true, Your Majesty!"

Garda lowered his head and said loudly:

"Although it is a little-known small mercenary group, its members are extremely brave! Not only the subordinates, but also thousands of White Dog Knights witnessed all this with their own eyes!"

The King of Dignity stroked his well-maintained beard lightly: "Well...can you say the name of this mercenary group again?"

"[Fire Sword], their name is Fire Sword."

The white dog Garda said in a deep voice: "Although they are just wandering knights who have subjugated the country, they have incomparable loyalty. Every member of Fire Sword is a role model for knights in the world! Uh... most of them."

Garda thought of the one-armed staff officer who hadn't seen him for a long time, and couldn't help but feel a little weak.

The King of Dignity was interested: "Mr. Garda, you said they are knights of a subjugated country? I don't know which country these people come from?"

"According to the leading knight, they were originally the royal knights of a country in the far eastern continent. Because of shameful rebellion and enemy invasion, the country was destroyed. They desperately escorted the last member of the royal family to kill many enemies, all the way After tossing and crossing the endless silent mountains, the dangerous desert, the dangerous swamp, and crossing the vast and boundless sea, finally came to the territory of the Kingdom of the Hall of the King of Law."

"Oh, oh, what a group of brave and loyal knights, really admirable."

King Dignity stroked his beard a little faster, and nodded with a smile.May I ask which king doesn't like this kind of knight with full loyalty and strong force?The Knights of the Round Table are not only role models of knights, but also loyal ministers that kings dream of.

The king, who was in his prime, took a more comfortable position on the somewhat cold throne, and asked with great interest: "So, have you ever met the last member of the royal family?"

"During the Battle of Lieyang Fortress, I was indeed fortunate to meet that member of the royal family. Although I couldn't see his face clearly under the cloak, but half of his face was vaguely exposed and the elegant posture that no one could imitate made me convinced that this Indeed, she is a princess of a great country who has received an excellent education. Ah no, although her posture is beautiful, she is still a bit inferior to Princess Sharute... Sorry, Your Majesty, but this subject made a slip of the tongue."

Garda suddenly thought of the king's favorite daughter, Princess Sharlut, and quickly added a sentence of right as a remedy. Unexpectedly, the more the remedy was made, the more embarrassing it became, so he had to bow his head and admit his mistake.

The King of Dignity waved his hand, expressing that he didn't care: "Hehehe, I'm not that stingy, Lord Garda. You can boast as much as you want, and you don't need to pull Shaerute, although my Shaerute is indeed the most beautiful in the world. girl."

As if talking about his most cherished treasure, King Dignity's attitude became more accommodating, sitting on the throne and leaning forward slightly: "Then, Lord Garda, today you are going to serve as the [Sword of Fire] Lobbyist? You're very bullish on them."

"Don't dare, Your Majesty is too serious."

Garda knelt on the ground and said without raising his head:

"It's just that I think that since the task of capturing Morrow Castle can be handed over to a new mercenary group with a reputation like the Eagle Group, why can't Fire Sword be given a chance?"

King Dignity raised his eyebrows slightly, stroked his beard and said, "You mean...to compete on the same stage?"

"Your Majesty is wise. It just so happens that the Sirius Constellation Mercenary Group, one of the top teams in the mercenary world, is also interested in this mission. I think it is better for the three mercenary groups to compete together, and the best performers will get rewards and fame."

Molo Castle has been occupied by the Yoda Empire for more than ten years. It is an important military site where the two countries are at war.The King of Dignity offered a huge reward this time, summoning the best mercenary regiment in the entire continent to help out with a huge reward of [-] gold coins.With so many bounties, it will naturally attract the attention of mercenary groups from all sides.

Not to mention the Sirius Constellation Mercenary Group, which is regarded as a legend in the mercenary world, many mercenary groups have sent envoys. Among them, Griffith, the head of the Eagle Group, also came to Windham City hoping to obtain This employment opportunity.

But Garda, as a little fan of the Sword of Fire, felt that the twelve knights of the round table would be able to complete this task perfectly, and maybe they could take this opportunity to get the king's reward, so he rushed to the palace to meet the king.

"Well... Sir Garda is right."

After hearing Garda's suggestion, King Dignity gradually tilted his mind, and finally made a decision——

"Then call them. Whoever can capture Molo Castle will be rewarded with [-] gold coins!"

###Chapter 30 Recruitment###

The Outlander's Journey The Outlander and the Hunter x Hunter Chapter 30 The recruitment time is winter, and the wind blows through the bones.

Two mercenary regiments with different styles occupy the east and west sides of Sisto Fortress Square. They are neither familiar nor hostile to each other, but are silently vigilant.

To the east is a group of well-equipped cavalry that looks like a regular army. They wear a uniform style of dark blue standard armor, ride tall horses wearing battle armor, and hold the best weapons in their hands. They even hold high flags. A wolf head made of seven stars.

[Sirius Constellation Mercenary Group], one of the best mercenary groups on this continent, their wolf cavalry makes all enemies fearful.

The leading knight was wearing an exquisite helmet carved with a wolf's head. He was riding a horse and looking at the opposite side, thinking about something.

Beside the wolf-headed knight, the adjutant was speaking to him in a low voice: "Captain, that's the Eagles, a boy who has gained fame in recent years. The King of Dignity of Midland somehow called them as well." coming."

"[-] gold coins, even the rich and powerful Kingdom of Midland has to think about it and choose the best mercenary group as possible."

The wolf-headed knight is 'Sirius' Black, the leader of the Sirius Constellation Mercenary Group. He lifted his mask to reveal a face with a delicate black beard, and said slowly:

"As expected of the King of Dignity, use the trick of public recruitment. In this way, the mercenary regiments will first determine their own ranks, saving the Midland military from the trouble of selection and elimination one by one. In this way, this Eagle The group should not be underestimated, after all, they also eliminated many opponents and finally stood in front of us."

The adjutant echoed: "The Red Lancers didn't come. I thought they were the biggest opponents of our Sirius Mercenary Group."

"They were hired by the Bardin royal family to suppress the separatist civil strife that broke out in the country. They have no time to take care of this side."

Sirius Black looked at the Eagle Group in the distance, and said unhurriedly:

"Ten thousand gold coins are enough for our mercenary group to eat and drink for several years, and they can also update all the equipment. This mission must be won, understand?"

"understand!"

On the other side of the square, Casca looked away from the Sirius Mercenary Corps, and rode to Griffith's side: "The Sirius Mercenary Corps just won the Barrinian League for the Kingdom of Lana." Are you completely tireless when you go to the Kingdom of Midland immediately in the battle for territory?"

Gorkas on the side interjected: "Oh my sister, this is [-] gold coins! Even the king of a small country would be moved, not to mention us mercenaries who are driven by money and war? Let me say that the red gun The cavalry regiment did not come, otherwise we would have to face two legendary mercenary regiments in the mercenary world!"

"Hey, Gorkas, are you scared?" Jie Du joked.

"Bastard! Who would be afraid! We are the Eagle Group, and the leader is Griffith! Sirius and Red Spear, we will be able to trample them under our feet in a few years!"

Although he has a bad personality, Gorkas has never doubted the strength of the leader Griffith.

Griffith, who was wearing an eagle-beaked helmet, was silent for a while, then looked to the side: "Gus, have you dealt with them?"

Gus, still wearing a simple helmet and carrying an epee, has recovered from his injuries, and he came back to his senses when he heard Griffith's inquiry: "No, I have been alone before, and I am not qualified to talk to this This level of mercenary group will expel all colleagues, occupy all the tasks assigned by the employer, and will not leave for the next battlefield until the current regional war is over and there is nothing to squeeze."

"Well, obviously they don't plan to share the [-] gold coins with us this time."

Griffith smiled inexplicably.

The Eagle Group was formed by Griffith. As a civilian, he has no financial resources to support the Eagle Group. He has been receiving missions to get paid to replenish supplies, update equipment, and distribute salaries to members of the mercenary group.This situation is the normal state of most mercenary groups, so once the mercenary group fails one or two missions, a series of vicious chain reactions will immediately occur until the mercenary group collapses.

In order to keep the mercenary group going, Griffith was even willing to sell himself overnight to Governor Herron of the Yoda Empire in exchange for the financial support provided by the governor.Otherwise, the Eagle Group would have disbanded half a year ago.

In order to achieve their ambitions, these are necessary sacrifices, Griffith said to himself.

"Is it really all right, Griffith?" Kasca looked at Griffith with some concern.

Competing with a famous mercenary group like the Sirius Constellation, even though she trusted Griffith very much, Casca still felt a little guilty.After all, no matter the number of people or the weapons and equipment, the difference is not small.

"Don't worry, Casca." Griffith comforted his beautiful adjutant: "Since I'm here, I'm sure to win this mission."

[-] gold coins are enough to make the Eagle Group a first-class mercenary group like the Sirius Constellation Mercenary Group in terms of hardware, and it can also greatly alleviate the difficulty of running out of funds.

At this time, a man with a moustache in court clothes, surrounded by a group of Mitland soldiers, walked to the center of the Sisto Fortress square, right between the mercenary regiments on both sides.

"Everyone, everybody!" The man with the mustache cleared his throat pretentiously and then clapped his hands, signaling the mercenaries on both sides to look at him.

Seeing White Eagle Griffith and Sirius Black cast their eyes on him, the man with the mustache continued:

"I am Baron Mario. Your Majesty the Dignified King has appointed me as the examiner for the recruitment of the mercenary group. I think everyone present has heard of my name."

"No, no, no, I haven't heard of it at all." Gus whispered, making Jiedu and Rickett beside him purse their lips and laugh.

Griffith glanced at Gus before he said, "My lord Baron, what are the criteria for judging this recruitment?"

"Oh, you are Griffith, the leader of the Eagles." Baron Mario twisted his mustache and said slowly: "Please wait a moment, the mercenary group that needs to be selected has not yet arrived, according to the news It's coming soon."

And the mercenary group?Both the Sirius Mercenary Group and the members of the Eagle Group looked at each other. Could it be that the Red Lancers really gave up on the mission of the Bardin royal family and came to grab food?This is not impossible, after all, it is [-] gold coins.

Just as everyone was whispering and their voices were getting louder, the gate of the fortress was suddenly slowly opened with a creaking sound.

All eyes were on the gate of the fortress.

It was Garda, the white dog general of the Kingdom of Midland, who was leading the horse into the fortress, and behind him was a team of knights in black robes, a total of twelve riders.

The white dog Garda walked not far from Baron Mario, got off his horse and said, "I've been waiting, Baron Mario."

"These people are..."

"That's right, they are the twelve knights of [Fire Sword Mercenary Corps]."

The voice of Garda the White Dog startled the Eagle Group.

Fire sword?Griffith and Gus glanced at each other, remembering the court wizard in black robe pretending to be a ghost.

Suddenly, deep in Griffith's heart, he was not so sure about this mission.

###Chapter 31 Mercenaries must rely on strength to speak###

"That is... the sword of fire!"

Gus couldn't help touching the hilt of the giant sword behind his shoulder, and Heather's incredible strength left a deep impression on him.A mere staff officer of the Fire Sword Mercenary Corps is so fierce, so the twelve knights who are combatants can't go to the sky?

Rickett, who was beside Gus, reached into his pocket and stroked the skeleton gold coin, feeling a little uneasy.

Teenagers always have unrealistic dreams.Even a frail boy like Rickett once fantasized about possessing such powerful martial arts and smart mind as Griffith.Of course, whenever he wakes up from the dream in his heart, he will look at his thin body and sigh secretly, the dream is just a dream after all.

But that day, a mysterious wizard named Heather gave him a strange gold coin, and made a prophecy that he would become greater than Griffith.

Even though Rickett didn't believe it, he still planted that seed in his heart.He claimed to his companions that he had spent the gold coin, but in fact he kept it close to him as a precious amulet.

But now, Rickett saw with his own eyes the mysterious wizard's companion, the legendary Fire Sword Mercenary Group.
