The news of the mercenary groups being wiped out had spread throughout the Chaos Guild. In just a few days, the same thing had happened more than a dozen times, and none of them had survived.
Furthermore, not only were they weak mercenary groups, but a group with a 7th-tier magic caster had also been wiped out.
The guild hadn't released the results of the investigation yet, but this morning, they released an announcement. "All mercenaries, please be careful. Mercenary groups with elves in their group are advised to suspend their missions until the Gray Temple and the city lord's castle find out the details."
This announcement undoubtedly caused quite a stir. It confirmed the rumors that had been spread before. Although they didn't know who the culprits were, one thing was for sure: they were targeting the elves in the mercenary groups.
The city lord's castle's announcement about accepting wandering elves and Alex's warning added a layer of haze to the mercenary groups with elves in their group. Some even panicked.
Elves were excellent archers and natural-born healers. If a mercenary group had an elven healer, the casualty rate would be greatly reduced. Therefore, most mercenary groups would try their best to recruit an elven member. Healing was an important part of the mercenary group.
Now that something like this had happened, some mercenary groups chose to suspend their missions for safety reasons and wait for the city lord's castle and the Gray Temple's investigation. More mercenary groups chose to let their elves stay in the city for the time being. The mercenary groups began to reduce the difficulty of their missions and continued to work.
Of course, some mercenary groups were still holding on to the idea of getting lucky. It was said that the city lord's castle and the Gray Temple had sent out many people to search for the elves. Perhaps the elves had already escaped.
Outside the guild hall, Chiwil looked at everyone and said, "If you're still worried, let's rest for a few more days. We'll see how things go before we go on a mission."
Although the weather had turned cold, she was still wearing short leather pants that exposed her thighs and a folded boomerang on her back. She looked very serious.
As a small mercenary group, the Rose Mercenary Squad had no way to deal with unexpected situations. More importantly, one of their main damage dealers, Evan, was an elf.
"Leader, we haven't been on a mission for three days. If we continue to stop, our family will be stretched thin," the minotaur demon Dennis said helplessly as he scratched his head.
Powerful mercenary groups could hunt high-level monsters and earn high commissions. However, a small mercenary group like the Rose Mercenary Group, whose strongest member was only a level-four magician, could not earn a generous reward every time they went out on a mission. After deducting the various funds and expenses, there was not much money that could be distributed to each member.
The other members had similar expressions. Being a mercenary was a profession that licked blood from the edge of a blade. Even if this kind of thing didn't happen, there would still be many people dying in the hands of magical beasts every day.
"I also agree to go on a mission. With so many mercenary groups going on missions, as long as we don't go to remote places, we shouldn't encounter those guys." Evan, who was holding his wand, nodded in agreement. He said confidently, "Also, if those guys really do have designs on us, they might just be giving us free money. Didn't the guild announcement say that those who can provide accurate information will be rewarded with 1,000,000 copper coins?"
"Yes, yes, Magician Evan is very powerful. With him around, we don't have to worry at all." Eva looked at Evan with admiration.
"According to the current statistics, twenty-one mercenary groups have been annihilated, including a group with a seventh-level magician. Our Rose Mercenary Group is no match for them." Chiwil shook his head, unmoved. He glanced at everyone, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Then let's vote. Those who agree to go on a mission, raise your hand."
Other than Scott and Chiwil, everyone raised their hand.
Chiwil nodded. "Alright, since most of you want to go on a mission, we'll do it today. However, we'll try to choose the easiest missions. Also, we'll have to go to places with more people. It'll be safer that way."
As Chiwil and the others were talking, two figures, one big and one small, came out of the guild hall and walked past them.
"Huh? Isn't that Mr. Mak? "Minotaur Demon Dennis said, a little surprised.
"It really is." Scott's eyes also lit up. He smiled and greeted them. "Mr. Mak, little boss."
Meg heard the voice and turned around. Seeing Chiwil and the others standing at the entrance of the guild hall, a hint of surprise appeared on his face. However, they had fought side by side before, so they could be considered old acquaintances. He smiled and nodded. "Oh, it's you guys from the Rose Mercenary Group. What's up? Are you going on a mission today? "
"Miss Leather Pants, Uncle Minotaur, Uncle Roast Rabbit, and …" Amy glanced at Evan and Eva, then chose to ignore them. She smiled widely and said, "Hello."
Evan and Eva's expressions didn't look too good, but it was all thanks to this pair of father and daughter that they were able to survive last time, so they couldn't say anything.
Although they felt a little helpless about their strange nicknames, looking at little Amy's smiling face, their faces were also full of smiles.
Chiwil smiled at Amy, then looked at Meg and said, "Yes, but Mr. Meg, are you going out of the city today? It's not safe outside the city during this period, so I don't recommend you go out at this time. You probably haven't seen the notice over there, right? "
Although Meg and Amy had shown their abilities last time, Meg was after all a chef, not a professional mercenary. It was too easy for him to be in danger with little Amy, who was only four years old.
"Oh, I saw that. But this time, we're just going to a closer place to find some ingredients. It shouldn't be a problem." Meg said with a smile. He glanced at Evan, who was still arrogant, and then looked at Chiwil. "Miss Chiwil, where are you going this time? If it's convenient, maybe you can give us a ride and save us the trouble of renting a horse. "
"Sure. Boss Mag's culinary skills are so superb; we're in for a treat. If it weren't for the fact that the prices at your restaurant are so high, I would definitely go there often." Dennis was quite excited.
