"…" The entire Aurij Mountain Range seemed to have quieted down.
Dean was a little dumbfounded …
This Sword Saint looked at Lin Yun with a sluggish expression. He even forgot about the Frost Wolf chasing after him. After ten seconds, he slowly reacted to what the young mage had just said.
Then, Dean's face turned from white to red, from red to purple, and finally from purple to green.
However, for Dean to be able to become a Sword Saint at such a young age, his self-restraint and temperament were naturally not something an ordinary person could compare to. At this moment where he was about to explode, this Sword Saint actually took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed the anger that was about to erupt.
Because Dean felt that as an esteemed Sword Saint, lowering himself to the level of a low-ranked High Mage would be beneath him.
Moreover, in this kind of battle, whether a low-ranked High Mage was willing to help or not didn't matter. Dean risked being chased by the Wolf King to forcibly burst out with Aura to rush over, but he didn't want to rope in a High Mage of this level.
The one he truly wanted to rope in was that Beastman.
Although he had been fighting the Wolf King before, he had been paying close attention to the two people who had suddenly appeared on the battlefield.
With his insight as a Sword Saint, how could he not see that 90% of the reason why the two of them were able to stand here safely was due to that Orc?
His fighting strength was too frightening.
At present, it seemed that this Beastman was at most a 5th Rank Expert Swordsman, but the power he burst out with was close to that of a Sword Saint. Especially in this kind of large-scale battle, the Beastman's innate power was infinitely amplified. When he held that terrifying weapon with both hands, the destruction he could cause was even above that of a Sword Saint like Dean.
This was the kind of subordinate that every Mercenary Group Leader longed to have. He wasn't afraid of death, and the more he fought, the braver he became. Having such a subordinate in a large-scale battle could be said to be half the battle won before it even started.
Dean had forcibly burst out with Aura to chase after them because he wanted to rope in that Beastman.
Originally, Dean wanted to use a gentler method …
Because Dean could see that this Beastman was very obedient to the young mage beside him. Their relationship wasn't ordinary, so Dean decided to pull them into this battle first. Once they were on good terms with each other, he would slowly persuade them to join the Temple Knights.
As for joining the Templar Mercenary Group …
The Beastman would definitely be given priority. Dean had even thought about it. He would go back and convince the leader to give the Beastman a vice-leader position, firmly tying him to the Holy Knights Mercenary Group. Of course, it wouldn't be good to discard that young Mage. After all, he had to consider his relationship with the Beastman, or perhaps give him an elite team?
Originally, Dean had already made the necessary arrangements …
However, he didn't expect to find that the development of the situation was completely wrong after he arrived …
Lin Li didn't know what was wrong with that young mage. He immediately rejected Rhode's request to join the battle. Didn't he know how rare it was for a mercenary group like the Holy Knights to ask them to join the battle?
Didn't he know that joining the battle would mean gaining the friendship of the Holy Knights Mercenary Group?
Dean wasn't blowing his own trumpet …
'How could that young mage look down on me …'
Not only did he look down on him, but he even dared to speak rudely to him. This made Dean a little angry …
'What did he mean by "take your bird and get away from here"?
'Forget it.' Dean took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed his anger. He was an esteemed Sword Saint, why would he bicker with a junior?
"Beastman friend, your brilliant battle has already won my respect. I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Dean, the 1st vice-leader of the Holy Knights Mercenary Group …" After saying that, Dean paused for a bit before continuing, "Now, I officially represent the Holy Knights Mercenary Group to invite you to join us. What do you think?"
The Draconic Beastman had been taking joy in Dean's misfortune. That guy's bird had messed up Sir Merlin's plans, who knew what misfortune would befall him …
In the end, just as he was waiting to watch a good show, he suddenly heard this unlucky guy invite him to join the Templar Mercenary Group.
The Draconic Beastman's brain didn't know what to make of it.
"Ah?"
"Beastman friend, you can rest assured. Your identity as a Dark Flame Beastman might be a huge problem for others, but it's nothing to the Holy Knights Mercenary Group …" Seeing Xiuban's blank expression, Dean thought that the other side was afraid of his identity being exposed, so he confidently smiled. "In all of Okland, no one would dare to offend the Holy Knights Mercenary Group because of a Dark Flame Beastman."
"…" At this time, the Draconic Beastman finally understood.
A horrified expression appeared on the Draconic Beastman's face as he looked at Dean as if he was looking at a monster.
'Crazy …
'Is this guy crazy?
'Doesn't he know that he was courting death with that ring of lightning? He messed up Sir Merlin's plans, and who knows what kind of retaliation he'll get later? Yet he still dares … dares to steal from Sir Merlin!
'Nothing could be more brazen than this!'
'Inviting me to join the Holy Knights Mercenary Group in front of Sir Merlin!'
Xiuban couldn't help but feel shocked and sympathetic as he looked at Dean. He truly didn't know what to say at this time.
At this time, Xiuban really wanted to tell that Sword Saint to keep his mouth shut, lest he draw Syudos out before he could dig a hole for himself.
Unfortunately, Dean didn't know what Xiuban was thinking.
That Sword Saint saw the shock on Xiuban's face and thought that he had been scared by the power of the Holy Knights Mercenary Group.
'It's good that he was scared …'
"Orc friend, I believe you have heard of the Temple Knights Mercenary Group. Under the leader, there are a total of seven vice-leaders. I can guarantee you that as long as you are willing to join, you can immediately become the eighth vice-leader!"
After saying this, Dean didn't say anything else because he felt that he had to give this Beastman some time to digest. After all, to a Beastman who hadn't seen much of the world, becoming a Vice Leader of the Holy Knights Mercenary Group was a bit too shocking.
'Sure enough …'
After saying that, Dean was very satisfied as he saw the Beastman's dark red face reveal an expression of disbelief.
Dean wasn't surprised …
Let alone a Beastman who hadn't seen much of the world, even a veteran powerhouse of Okland wouldn't react much better than this Beastman when he heard that he was chosen as the 8th Vice Leader of the Holy Knights Mercenary Group.
As the 2nd ranked Mercenary Group of Okland, becoming the Vice Leader of the Holy Knights Mercenary Group, even if it was only the 8th Vice Leader, meant that he had stepped into the top echelons of Okland. To anyone, this was an opportunity to reach the sky in a single bound.
At this time, Dean was completely relieved.
Dean was very confident about the Beastman joining them, everything was within his expectations.
'Damn, that guy is crazy …' Dean didn't know that the Draconic Beastman was inwardly cursing, 'He is definitely crazy, he is so unscrupulous in his poaching, do you think Sir Merlin is dead?'
'No good, no good, if this continues, I'll be dragged down by him …'
'At that time, if Sir Merlin isn't happy, Syudos won't be polite …'
Thinking of the terrifying memories Syudos left behind when he tried to resist Sir Merlin in the treasury, the Draconic Beastman couldn't help shivering.
'No good, I can't let him keep talking …'
The Draconic Beastman immediately made a decision. He had to shut that guy up, he absolutely couldn't let Sir Merlin think that he had thoughts of defecting.
But before the Draconic Beastman could say anything, Dean looked at Lin Yun and said in a sincere tone, "To tell you the truth, with your strength, you can definitely choose a better companion. If you really need a mage companion, you can take a look. Our Holy Knights Mercenary Group has three High Mages here, and they are all 5th Rank High Mages. As long as you say the word, I can make them do their best to help you. You don't need a Low Rank High Mage, he isn't worthy of your strength …"
"Shit!" The Draconic Beastman almost went crazy on the spot. He looked at Dean with a frightened expression and took a few steps back. It was as if this Sword Saint was infected with a deadly plague.
"What's wrong?" Dean kept talking, but he didn't get the enthusiastic response he had expected. Instead, he saw the Draconic Beastman taking a few steps back. At this time, the Sword Saint finally realized that something was wrong.
"Sir, I swear, I don't know him!" The Draconic Beastman didn't even look at him.
"Okay, I know …" Lin Yun shook his head, indicating that the Draconic Beastman didn't need to worry. He then smiled and reminded the Sword Saint, "Sir Dean, the Wolf King isn't far from you …"
"Hmm?" After being reminded by Lin Yun, Dean suddenly realized that he had already wasted enough time on this Beastman. It wasn't just the wolves that were approaching, even the Wolf King was less than a hundred meters away.
Shit …
To an existence above level 30 like the Wolf King, less than a hundred meters was no different from standing face to face. As long as it dashed forward, it would be within the range of its sharp claws.
This time, even Dean didn't dare to be negligent. He tightly gripped his True Spirit Sword and burst out with Aura. The Thunderbird Incarnation that had rested for a long time flew out once again.
Then, the lightning and the frost intertwined once again.
The Thunderbird's attack temporarily stalled the Wolf King's charge, but Dean didn't have much time left. An anxious expression finally appeared on the Sword Saint's face, and even his speech speed was a lot faster than usual.
Dean was still making one last effort …
"Beastman friend, please believe in my sincerity, our Temple Knights …"
