As they walked deeper into the Valley of Sunshine, Candice and Han Shuo chatted merrily, but their eyes kept sneaking glances at Jasper from time to time. Their eyes were filled with puzzlement.
Han Shuo noticed Candice's sneaking glances. Seeing that she was getting more and more puzzled, he smilingly explained, "Stop looking. She's not an angel that the Church of Light has beautified in your imagination. She just has a pair of snow-white wings."
Candice's expression relaxed, and she curiously asked Han Shuo in a low voice, "If she's not an angel as the Church of Light claims, then who is she? I've been a mercenary all over the Profound Continent, but I've never heard of such a human. "
"She's my woman," Han Shuo did not reveal Jasper's identity, but only pointed out his relationship with her.
Upon hearing Han Shuo's words, Jasper shot a hateful glare at Han Shuo and said in a low voice, "You scoundrel! You already have three beauties in the Empire, and yet you're still flirting with other women!"
Han Shuo smiled but did not reply to Candice's accusation. He maintained his leisurely posture as they walked deeper into the Valley of Sunshine.
Along the way, many merchants in the Valley of Sunshine looked at Han Shuo and his party with astonishment. Not only Jasper who had snow-white wings, but Hemanna and Sylph who had sharp spikes growing from their shoulders, elbows, and knees also attracted a lot of attention.
"Who are these people? They're so strange!"
"Aren't those the legendary powerful angel warriors of the Church of Light? Why would they appear in the Valley of Sunshine? I remember that the leader of the Soul Destroyer Mercenary Band had explicitly stated that no one from the Church of Light is allowed to enter the Valley of Sunshine. "
"Didn't you see Candice leading the way? There must be something fishy going on!"
"…"
Discussions about the identities of Han Shuo and his party came from the mouths of the surrounding merchants. However, due to Candice's presence, these people deliberately lowered their voices.
While those people were discussing Han Shuo and his party, Jasper and the other two women were also whispering to each other.
"What beautiful clothes! The clothes of the people here all have beautiful patterns on them. How unique!" Sylph exclaimed.
"Yeah, yeah! And the stones on their necks are all sparkling and dazzling," Hemanna whispered.
"This place is indeed different from where we came from. Hmm, I can't deny that this place is way ahead of us in terms of food, clothing, housing, and transportation," Jasper affirmed.
These people are much weaker than us. They're too focused on enjoyment, unlike us who are constantly fighting! " The strength of these people is generally much weaker than ours. They focus too much on enjoyment, unlike us who are constantly fighting! " From Sanguis' words, one could clearly see the difference between men and women. Jasper and the other women showed great interest in beautiful things, while Sanguis snorted disdainfully.
As they discussed amongst themselves, the group finally arrived at the back mountain of the Valley of Sunshine under Candice's lead. The territory that had originally belonged to the Cairo mercenary band had now naturally belonged to the Soul Destroyer mercenary band. There was a huge practice field in front of them. Some of the mercenary groups were bare-chested, revealing their sturdy muscles. They were concentrating on practicing their martial skills.
"Lady Candice!" Those people greeted Candice in a friendly manner when they saw her approach.
Han Shuo swept his eyes over them and discovered that these people were all unfamiliar faces. It seemed that the Soul Destroyer Mercenary Band had indeed recruited more and more members while developing at a high speed.
"Candice, what are these people doing? Don't tell me they're new mercenaries? Haha, newcomers can come over and play? "A two-meter tall bald man raised a double-edged battle axe in his hand and laughed provocatively.
"Hmph, idiot. With that little bit of ability of yours, you'll only be toyed to death." Candice glared at him disdainfully and attacked him mercilessly.
Hearing her words, the bald man was displeased. He glared at her and said in a low, muffled voice, "I don't believe you!"
Whoosh! A figure shot into the training field in a split second. Sanguinar cast a sidelong glance at the man and sized him up. He gave an objective evaluation, "Your limbs are well-developed, but the energy within your body is very weak. You can't even withstand a single blow!"
"Brian?" Candice stared blankly and then looked at Han Shuo.
"Sanguinar, don't hurt them. Just knock them down!" Han Shuo raised his voice and instructed Sanguinar. He then looked at Candice with a smile, "That's my disciple. No matter, let them play." In the world of mercenaries, the strongest fist was the last word. If you defeated them fair and square, you'd only win their respect.
"Arrogant brat, come, I'll let you have three moves!" The bald man was obviously infuriated when he heard Sanguinar's words. He lowered the double-edged battle axe in his hand and stuck out his two iron-like chest muscles as he spoke arrogantly.
"Not only can you not withstand a single blow, but you're also simple-minded!" Sanguinar shook his head and continued his evaluation.
"Brat, don't talk nonsense. Knock me down if you have the guts!" The bald man saw that Sanguinar was only 1.7 meters tall and didn't have any strong muscles. He didn't think much of Sanguinar and roared angrily like a violent bear as he listened to Sanguinar's continuous taunts.
"Too easy!" Sanguinar laughed coldly and punched out like lightning. His fist turned into a streak of blood red as it landed squarely on the unmoving bald man.
Bam!
The bald man's two hundred pound body flew out as if he were weightless and fell to the ground with a plop. He stared blankly at Sanguinar, who was a dozen steps away from him. He didn't seem to understand the situation for a moment.
The mercenaries in the training field who had been waiting to see a joke stared at Sanguinar as if they had seen a ghost. They were all stunned and couldn't figure out how Sanguinar could have such terrifying strength.
These people weren't blind. They naturally knew that strength had little to do with body size. However, they observed carefully and didn't notice that Sanguinar had used any fighting aura.
Without using any fighting aura, he had sent a two hundred pound body flying with just one punch. Moreover, the attacker was a small youth. This was a little shocking!
"Master, I didn't hurt anyone." Sanguinar shrugged at the bald man and spread his hands to show to Han Shuo.
"Alright, let's go." To Han Shuo, this result wasn't surprising. He nodded at Sanguinar and urged Candice to leave.
"Oh, oh, I know, I know!" Candice abruptly came to her senses. She looked at Sanguis up and down with a strange gaze, then turned to Han Shuo who was her master. She shook her head, sighed, and said, "You are becoming more and more unfathomable. I didn't expect that a single disciple of yours would have such miraculous strength. Sigh, no wonder. "
"No wonder what?" Han Shuo smiled in a carefree manner. He thought that if that bald man, who was merely a journeyman swordsman, could withstand a punch from Sanguinar, then Sanguinar's Body would really be unworthy of its name.
"No wonder those people in Lancelot Empire would always think of you whenever they were in a difficult situation after you left for five years. No wonder Brettel City could possess such formidable strength in just a few short years. Even the neighboring Brut Merchant Alliance doesn't dare to invade, "Candice said in a strange tone.
Han Shuo laughed dryly, but didn't say a word. He and Candice walked towards the restricted area at the back of the mountain.
When they arrived at the back of the mountain, the number of familiar faces increased. Grant was explaining the rules of the Soul Destroyer Mercenary Band to a group of new mercenaries. When he saw Han Shuo suddenly appear, he was immediately dumbfounded and didn't say a word. He just stared blankly at Han Shuo.
"Lord Grant, what's wrong?" The newly recruited mercenaries didn't know what was going on. Seeing Grant suddenly go silent at the crucial moment, they couldn't help but ask in puzzlement.
"Ah …" An ear-piercing shriek came from Grant's mouth. The mercenaries who were attentively listening to his explanation were so frightened by his sudden shriek that they trembled all over.
Under the gazes of the new mercenaries, Grant screamed and rushed towards Han Shuo like lightning. He was extremely pleasantly surprised as he said, "Lord Brian! You're not dead? "
"I won't die that easily. Hehe." Seeing Grant's heartfelt surprise, Han Shuo's heart warmed as he nodded and smiled.
"Brian? Who's that? Brian? " A cry of alarm came from a stone house. Soon after, a person stumbled out and looked towards the source of the voice. Another cry resounded throughout the valley, "Ah! Heavens, it's really Brian! "
Odysseus was wild with joy. Like Grant, he rushed to Han Shuo's side and laughed heartily as he hugged Han Shuo and shook him with all his might.
Odysseus and the others had a closer relationship with Han Shuo. It was also because of Han Shuo that they joined the Soul Destroyer Mercenary Band. Currently, Odysseus and the others had all become the upper echelons of the Soul Destroyer Mercenary Band. However, they were still as forthright and uninhibited as before.
"You're all here. Hehe, very good. It looks like the Soul Destroyer Mercenary Band is getting better and better." Han Shuo was also very happy to see his old friends.
"Come, let's go inside and find Trunks for a drink. That guy has been training alone in his room all day. He's getting more and more hardworking! " Odysseus had joined the Soul Destroyer Mercenary Band because of Han Shuo. He naturally knew that the true master of the Soul Destroyer Mercenary Band was Han Shuo. Odysseus, on the other hand, didn't particularly respect the revered Trunks. He still treated him as a comrade like before.
The group chatted and laughed as they walked to the back of the valley. Trunks came over after hearing the news. When he saw Han Shuo, he also came over and gave Han Shuo a fierce manly hug. Soon after, he shouted, "Brothers, bring the wine. Let's drink to our heart's content today!" Saying so, Trunks tightly hugged Han Shuo and said in a low voice, "I knew you wouldn't die so easily!"
"Nonsense! How could I be so easily killed?! "Han Shuo laughed heartily.
In a short while, many of his former friends had all gathered together. As soon as Trunks gave the order, large bowls of wine and meat were served. The mercenaries were originally boorish and unrestrained. When the leaders gave the order, all of them couldn't control themselves as they laughed and drank heartily.
Those mercenaries who had just joined the Soul Destroyer Mercenary Band were all indescribably excited when they learned of Han Shuo's identity. They took the opportunity to toast their idol, expressing their worship through drinking heartily.
Back in the Valley of Sunshine, Han Shuo was a true idol. In the Lancelot Empire, he had never been defeated. Such a character was the one these mercenaries admired the most. Therefore, when they heard that the person who had arrived was the legend of the Empire, the expert that the three goddesses had bitterly waited for for five years, their blood began to boil.
The Valley of Sunshine was instantly brimming with a joyous atmosphere.
