Although the Lourdes Mercenary Group and the surrounding small caravans all enjoy the music of the bards, it is obvious that some people do not like this.

"Hey, you guys are too loud."

A voice with strong dissatisfaction came from the direction of another mercenary team. Art and Hughes looked at each other and stopped playing.

Lourdes stood up directly. As the leader of the team, his face darkened and he directly expressed his attitude:

"Ryan! What do you want to do!"

"What do you want to do? Your voices are too loud." The one who spoke was none other than the mercenary captain named Lien who had just competed with Lourdes to recruit Art.

This is a middle-aged man wearing dark leather armor. He is not very tall. Under his thick eyebrows, he has a pair of shining eyes with a different kind of sharpness.

Behind him, there were more than a dozen people, and it looked like they should have pulled together a whole team of mercenaries.

"Damn black dog!" Art heard Maiya's low curses beside him, "He's here to cause trouble again!"

"Black dog?" Art asked with some confusion.

Looking at Art's confused expression, Maiya explained: "He is the captain of the 'Black Dog Mercenary Group' affiliated with the Slor Mercenary Group. 'Black Dog' Lien is a thief. He was originally just an ordinary professional."

, had a quarrel with our Lourdes mercenary group, and was taught a lesson by Baft. A few years ago, he awakened extraordinary power and became an extraordinary professional. The Slor mercenary group gave him the qualification to form a subordinate mercenary team.

Whenever we recruit, he will compete with us."

Her face looked very ugly, and Art could guess that most of these "fights" should end with the other party's victory, but this time, they failed.

Is that why you are making trouble?

Seeing everyone in the Lourdes mercenary group stand up, Art also stood up and stood behind Lourdes.

Although he has just joined the Lourdes Mercenary Group and does not have much affection for the Lourdes Mercenary Group, he still needs to have a suitable attitude now that he has joined.

Kaotius, who was carrying an ax and a shield, walked to the right of Lourdes and pulled out the ax from his broad back, with a fierce look in his eyes: "Lean, don't think that you are powerful just because you have become a transcendent. You want to be taught a lesson again?"

Once? No need for Baft this time, I will teach you a lesson!"

"You!" Lien didn't expect the people in Lourdes to be so cruel this time. Why did he say harsh words to test him first?

Looking at the ax blade reflecting the firelight in Corius's hand and the menacing eyes, Lien had no doubt that if there was a chance, the opponent would really chop him down.

With a faint expression on his face, Baft took a step forward and stood on the left side of Lourdes. Without saying a word, he stretched his palm back and directly drew out the giant sword.

Those indifferent eyes were staring at Lien and the people behind him. The expressions of the mercenaries behind him became tense, their bodies tensed, and their palms rested on their weapons.

Without any hesitation, everyone in the Lourdes Mercenary Group drew their weapons——

The two brothers Karens and Lawrence drew their daggers at the same time, and their identical expressions and movements made people think they were the same person.

Andos and Maia also took out their longbows one after another and touched the quiver.

Mars was shy and smiled as he pulled out a hunting knife from his back.

Only Dogat did not draw his weapon, but Art, who was standing at the back, could see that he was holding a black iron ball in his right hand, and the fluttering firelight flickered across the pitted surface——

More than a dozen lumps of caltrops stuck together.

Hughes was holding the harp with a smile on his face. Art could feel a strong spiritual power gathering on his harp, and the surrounding wind became active.

"Wind Poem" Hughes, Art remembered the title that Hughes boasted proudly just now.

Lien looked at Lourdes' tense posture, his face became increasingly ugly, and he said solemnly: "Do you want to go to war with the Slor Mercenary Group? You want to go to war with the Slor Mercenary Group of the four major mercenary groups in Serra County?

!"

After hearing this, Lourdes and others' expressions darkened slightly, but they still stood there firmly without any move to retreat.

At this time, Art stepped forward.

Li En's eyes lit up: "Boy, you are very smart and don't plan to start a war with us..."

When Lourdes and others saw Art's actions, their expressions became even more gloomy. Art's relationship with them was not that deep, so it was normal for him not to fight against the Slor mercenary group, but...

"No, no, no." Art had an elegant smile on his face, showing the attitude a nobleman should have, "The Slor Mercenary Group can distinguish right from wrong. We are not going to war with the Slor Mercenary Group, but

I’m just starting a war with you.”

"you......."

"'Black Dog' Lean, do you think the Slor Mercenary Group won't punish you because you always cause trouble under the banner of the Slor Mercenary Group?" He stared at Li En, his voice gradually raised,

"Yes, you are a transcendent, but do you think the Slor Mercenary Group can't function without you?"

"NO, I have not......"

"No, you do." Art's voice gradually became louder, and the surrounding caravans and other mercenaries approaching could hear his voice, "You are relying on the fact that you are the captain of the Black Dog Mercenary Group.

, relying on the subordinates of his Slor Mercenary Group to cause trouble everywhere and ruin the reputation of the Slor Mercenary Group!"

"The Slor Mercenary Group is one of the most powerful mercenary groups in Serra County." Although Art didn't understand the Slor Mercenary Group, this did not affect his regard for the Slor Mercenary Group.

Yishou said, "As for you, do you regard the Black Dog Mercenary Group as your own? Let the people of the Black Dog Mercenary Group follow you to cause trouble?"

Art squinted his eyes. Although he didn't understand the details very well, the current situation is simply that the other party has a backer. The Lourdes Mercenary Group is only worried about the Slor Mercenary Group. As for the Black Dog Mercenary Group, from now on

Maiya's disdainful tone showed that the opponent's combat power was nothing.

As long as the other party's behavior is characterized in public as a personal behavior or a personal behavior that is harmful to the Slor Mercenary Group, then the matter will be easily solved.

and......

There are not many teams as united as the Lourdes Mercenary Group.

After hearing Art's words, not only the surrounding businessmen and mercenaries started talking, but even the mercenaries of the Black Dog Mercenary Group behind Lien began to hesitate. People who knew the grudge between Lien and the Lourdes Mercenary Group even

Start complaining about Lean.

They are not as united as the Lourdes Mercenary Group, because Lean has a somewhat selfish and greedy character, and the dissatisfaction caused by the uneven distribution of benefits has made everyone have a bad impression of him.

And because of the strength of the Lourdes Mercenary Group, they also had some intention of retreating. At this moment, as soon as Art's words came out, they immediately put all the blame on Lean, and put aside the previous relationship with the Lourdes Mercenary Group.

The dispute was entirely Lean's fault.

There was even a young man who had just joined the Black Dog Mercenary Group and muttered: "Why should we start a fight with Lourdes and the others over you?"

He originally hesitated in the recruitment of Lourdes and Black Dog mercenary groups, but was lured here by Black Dog. However, after joining the Black Dog mercenary group, he did not get the benefits of the original agreement, and he was originally against

Lourdes just feels good...

His words directly triggered the dissatisfaction in the hearts of others.

Although the others didn't say anything, their rustling movements made Lien immediately realize that something was wrong.

At this time, a middle-aged man with sweaty face trotted over: "Captain Lien, I want to talk about the matter of going to Dilude again."

He was one of the several businessmen who hired the Black Dog Mercenary Group. When he heard the news about the arrival of the Black Dog Mercenary Group, he rushed over immediately.

"Damn..." Lien also knew that the situation was not good, so he went down the stairs directly. He stared at Art's face, as if he wanted to remember him deeply, and then bit him hard.

Gritting his teeth, he glanced at the faces of the Lourdes mercenary group and said, "Lourdes, please remember this."

Then, he turned around with a gloomy expression and looked at his subordinates, especially the young man who had just grumbled, making his face turn pale.

"Walk!"

The members of the Black Dog Mercenary Group made a way for Lien to leave, and then followed him back to their camp. The businessman also hurriedly followed.

The other people watching also dispersed, and the remaining mercenaries glanced at Art's face a few times, then turned and left, preparing to tell their captain what happened.

Watching the people from the Black Dog Mercenary Group leave, Lourdes breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had a tough attitude, this was just his rule, and it was also one of the reasons why he had such a high reputation and such a high charisma.

First, in fact, it was not like he was in conflict with the Black Dog mercenary group. The Slor mercenary group with their backs was not something they could resist.

Art was able to force the opponent back with words, which was a bit unexpected to him, and at the same time, Art's senses were much better.

Not only did he do this, but so did the other team members. Kaotius hung his ax back, buckled the leather armor on his back and knocked it on, laughed and came to Art's side, hugging his shoulders.

: "Hahaha! I didn't expect you to be so talkative!"

A smile appeared on Baft's face, and he nodded slightly. In his mind, the other party's performance this time was qualified as a team member.

However, Art frowned deeply, causing Hughes who came over to ask: "What's wrong? Rat?"

Everyone was a little confused about his expression.

Art hissed, turned to the confused Kaotius and said, "Kaotius, there is an injury on my back..."

Although the wound was not deep, it was still very painful.

"Ah?" Kaotius was stunned for a moment, then quickly let go. The big man smiled awkwardly and said, "Sorry, sorry, I don't know."

After knowing the reason, everyone became obviously more enthusiastic and prepared to bandage his wounds.

"Come on, come on! My skills in dressing wounds are very good!"
