The shrill laughter echoed in the empty basin like that of a ghost. The mercenaries, who were still immersed in the joy of their harvest, were startled. They immediately got into their battle stances and looked up in surprise.
There were seven people on the cliff above. Although they looked very small due to the great height difference, it was still obvious that they were a team of demons, orcs, and forest trolls.
The tall guy in the middle, who was burning with ghostly green flames, was especially chilling.
"Get ready to fight!" Sivir gripped the boomerang tightly in her hand as she looked up with a grave expression at the people who had appeared above her.
There was an old saying among the mercenaries: "Magic beasts are not scary, but mercenaries who have their eyes on you are scary."
Those who dared to target mercenaries were usually far more powerful than the other party. Under such circumstances, the weaker party was basically powerless.
However, because of the strong intervention of the city lord's castle and the Gray Temple in Chaos City, there were few conflicts among the mercenaries. Even if there were conflicts over magic beasts or herbs, most of them were settled with fair duels.
However, it was clear that many of these mercenaries had their eyes on the golden scale deer they had caught.
"What... do they mean?" Eva's voice was trembling, and her face was very pale. Those words made her think of some terrible things.
"These guys... I'm afraid they are coming for us." Evan's face was also very pale, and his eyes were full of fear.
Thinking of what had happened in the past few days, and the gruesome corpses of the mercenaries who had been carried back to Chaos City, the mercenaries' faces were very grim.
"They are still coming. That guy should be an eighth-tier demon, right?" Meg looked up. His eyes were far sharper than ordinary people. His gaze lingered on the demon with ghostly flames for a while, and then swept over the orcs and forest trolls beside him. Most of them were between sixth-tier and seventh-tier.
With such strength, they could easily wipe out all the mercenary groups in the wilderness, unless they encountered some big boss who needed to find something in the wilderness.
The combination of demons, beastmen, and forest trolls, as well as the insulting title of 'piggy', all of this proved that these fellows were the culprits behind the recent massacre of the mercenary groups. In other words, they were the evil mercenary groups that specifically targeted wandering elves.
Ai Mi covered her ears and raised her head to shout, "What a horrible laugh. Can you please shut up?"
The laughter stopped abruptly. The demon lowered his head and looked at Amy. His face was covered in a dark green flame, and he stared at her with a pair of scarlet eyes.
"You are so ugly. Can you please cover your face?" Amy said disdainfully.
The demon was covered in flames. He roared, "Little brat, I know you are, but if you piss me off, I will make you wish you were dead."
As soon as he finished speaking, the demon took a step forward and jumped down from above, diving down like a blue fireball.
The Demons, Orcs, and Trolls also quickly climbed down the cliff and rushed down at an extremely fast speed.
"Release the signal flare, Monkey!" Chiwil didn't appear to be panicking. Instead, he calmly issued an order. However, his hand was a little pale from holding the boomerang too tightly.
"Alright." The monkey's hands trembled as he took out a small bamboo tube from his pocket. The Gray Temple's symbol was printed on it, and he pulled it toward the sky.
A magical fireball flew out of the bamboo tube and flew into the sky with a whoosh. It then exploded into a ball of bright red flames in the air and didn't dissipate.
"How dare you piss him off?! None of us are going to live now! "Evan glowered at Amy with a twisted expression.
"Don't tell me I'm going to be a coward like you, not even daring to fart?" Meg stood in front of Amy and looked at Evan with a mocking expression. This guy was even worse than he had imagined.
"You!" Evan's face was flushed red, and his wand was already glowing with blue light.
"Shut up! Focus and prepare to fight!" Chiwil looked back at Evan with disgust in his eyes. A guy who blamed his teammates in the face of a strong enemy would never be a reliable teammate.
"Uncle, do you want to have a taste of the Fireball? Or is it the smell of ice hockey? "Ai Mi poked her head out and asked with a smile.
Evan's expression changed several times, and he withdrew his wand in the end. He looked at the ball of green flames descending from the sky with horror in his eyes, and he had completely lost all of his will to fight.
"Boom!"
The green fireball hit the ground ten meters away from them, shaking the ground. Dust and debris flew everywhere, and the surrounding stone walls fell. Everyone swayed a little before they could steady themselves. The golden scale deer that was tied up by the Spirit Binding Rope was scared to death.
Dennis, who was standing in front of everyone with his shield, was knocked back a meter by the impact. He couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Cha, cha, cha …"
Accompanied by the sound of stones being crushed, everyone's hearts were in their throats. To be able to jump down from a cliff that was hundreds of meters high and remain unscathed, one had to be at least a level-7 existence. Furthermore, it had to be a demon with an extremely powerful body.
Today, the Rose Mercenary Squad could not avoid the fate of being wiped out.
The footsteps finally stopped, and a three-meter-tall, pitch-black and shriveled demon appeared before everyone. Its body was riddled with indentations, and all of them were burning with ghostly green will-o '-wisps. It was almost like a skeleton with a layer of skin on it. It looked at everyone with a grin, and said, "It's useless to release the signal flare. By the time those idiots from the Gray Temple get here, you'll already be dead."
Everyone's heart skipped a beat. They had encountered the worst outcome.
"This one is really weak. It's even weaker than the old thing from two days ago. Is Chaos City full of useless people? Where did they get the guts to go against us so openly? "
"Yeah, but the quality this time is not bad. A male piglet is good enough to make up the numbers. That high-quality piglet can be sold at a sky-high price. No matter if it's sent to Rodu or the Demon Islands, it will definitely be sold at an auction."
"It's not just the piglet. The two women today are not bad either. The one over there has big breasts and a round butt. Looks like she will last longer than the ones from two days ago. The one over there will probably die after one use."
The rest of the orcs and trolls had also reached the bottom of the basin. They gathered around and commented on the group. Their greedy eyes swept over Amy and Chiwil unscrupulously.
The members of the Rose Mercenary Squad could not hide their anger. Scott and Skol held their longswords tightly, and Dennis stood in front of them with his shield. He had no intention of backing down.
Eva's face was as white as a sheet. She subconsciously leaned against Evan and clutched the corner of his shirt tightly.
