Yue Hen looked at Xuanyue suspiciously. Because he had been too nervous these past two days, he didn't think too much about it. Looking at the familiar face, he smiled and said, "So you are Yue's elder brother. You two really look alike! Yue should work harder on her cultivation. Otherwise, how could she be worthy of her title as the captain of a special rank mercenary group? Come, let's talk inside. Dumb, we haven't seen each other for so long. I have a lot of questions to ask you. " With that, he pulled Dumb's arm and walked towards the meeting hall. Seeing that Yue Hen didn't recognize her, Xuanyue let out a big sigh of relief. She hurriedly called for Oliveira and Kino to follow.
The decorations in the meeting hall were simple. In the center was a huge oval table, surrounded by a circle of wooden chairs. Yue Hen let the four of them sit down, then turned to the Lin brothers and said, "You did well this time. I will reward you later. Pass the order that without my orders, no one is to come in and disturb us. I want to catch up with brother Dumb."
"Yes, captain." The Lin brothers replied and left happily. They all knew that Yue Hen always kept his word. The rewards he promised would definitely be fulfilled.
Yue Hen sat next to Dumb and looked at Oliveira and Kino. He said, "I'm really sorry. I was too happy to see brother Dumb. I haven't asked, who are these two?" Just now, when Lin Da told him that Dumb from the Heaven's Evil mercenary group had come, he didn't hear Lin Da say who had come with him. He couldn't wait to rush out, so he didn't know the identity of Oliveira and Kino.
Dumb hurriedly introduced them to each other. "They are my friends. Wind magician Oliveira and fire magician Kino. This is brother Yue Hen I told you about." "He didn't want to brag in front of Moon Scar, so he didn't mention the magic levels of Oliveira and Kino.
Oliveira and Kino hurriedly stood up and nodded at Moon Scar. Moon Scar's eyes revealed a trace of joy. At this moment, the Moon Scar Mercenary Group was in a critical situation. Although he knew that Dumb's skills were not much stronger than his, if these magicians were willing to help him, then tomorrow's victory would be much more certain. He smiled and said, "Brothers, don't stand on ceremony. Since you are Dumb's friends, you are also my friends. Don't be shy when you're here, just treat it as your own home. "
Moon Scar's kind words immediately won over Oliveira and Kino's favorable impression. Oliveira said, "Big Brother Moon Scar, don't worry. We won't be polite. I'm afraid we'll have to trouble you for a few days. Just don't bother us when the time comes. " Kino's bickering with Oliveira had improved a lot recently. Hearing this, he said sarcastically, "Just because you have so many bad habits, Big Brother Moon Scar will chase you out."
Moon Scar smiled and said, "Why would I? I can't wait to welcome you. It's a great honor to have a magician here! Brother Dumb, how's the matter with the elves? "
Dumb sighed. He didn't want to say too much in front of Oliveira and Kino. He just smiled bitterly and said, "The result was not ideal. We only managed to save the elven princess and an elven girl. The other elves chose to commit suicide because they were humiliated by the dark forces." Whenever Dumby thought of those days in the Sunset Empire, he felt an unusual pressure in his heart. There, he had experienced endless pain. Ice had died, and more than ten elves had died. Those were all unbearable memories!
Moon Scar looked at Dumb's depressed expression and knew that many things must have happened to him. He comforted him and said, "It's not easy to save the elven princess. It can be said that we've completed the task entrusted to us by the Queen Of Elves. Where's Big Brother Yanshi and the others? Why aren't they with you? " Dumb said, "After coming out from the elves, I went back to the Forest of Illusion to see Master. Big Brothers Yanshi and Yan Li went back to the Puyan people to practice their martial skills."
Moon Scar looked a little lonely and said, "Back then, I really wanted to go to the Sunset Empire with you, but the implications were too big. Dumb, do you still blame me now?"
Dumb shook his head and said, "I've never blamed you. Everyone has their own ambitions. How can you force them? Even if you didn't go to the Sunset Empire with us, we're still good brothers! Right, after we entered the city, I heard that the Moon Scar mercenary group seemed to have run into some trouble. Someone wants to challenge you with a sure-win method? What's going on? "
Moon Scar's body trembled and he smiled bitterly, "I won't hide it from you. This time, we've run into a very big crisis. Although Waluo City isn't very big, it's very rich. That's why I chose to station the mercenary group here. With the five percent tax from the government, even if we don't take on missions, we can still support our brothers. The mercenary group that came to challenge us must have seen this as well. Although they only have a thousand people, they're very strong. In less than a year, they've already risen to the rank of a first rank mercenary group. As long as they can beat us, their reputation will definitely surpass the current special rank mercenary groups and catch up to Red Centipede. If we lose, the foundation that we've worked so hard to build will go up in smoke. So I'm thinking of a countermeasure. "
Xuanyue said, "Brother Moon Scar, we heard from Lin Da about the sure-win method. Can you explain it to us in detail so that we can help you? Since we're all friends, we definitely won't sit idly by. "
Moon Scar was overjoyed, "The sure-win method is like this. It's divided into individual battles and group battles. The individual battles will be decided in five battles, while the group battles will be fought by each side sending out five hundred of their most elite warriors. The rules are in our favor. Out of the five individual battles, they have to win three. At the same time, they also have to win the group battles. Only then can they chase us out of this place. However, the other side is coming with ill intentions. Although the overall quality of our Moon Scar mercenary group is not bad, we're a bit lacking in individual battles. Sigh … Right now, we can only hope that we can win the group battles. However, I'm worried that many of our brothers will be injured or killed in the group battles. "
Xuanyue smiled confidently, "Brother Moon Scar, don't worry. We won't let them drag the competition into the group battles. As long as we win the individual battles, they won't be able to continue, right?"
Moon Scar was slightly taken aback. He thought to himself, 'This brother of Yue's was really confident in me!' He shook his head and said, "However, the group battles will be held first, and then the individual battles. In other words, the group battles are unavoidable."
Dumb frowned and said, "Once it gets chaotic, I'm afraid it'll be difficult to take care of everyone. There will definitely be casualties. This is going to be difficult. Ever since he lost to the Four Grand Elder in the Yakin people, his confidence had never recovered. Xuanyue's eyes flashed, and she said, "It's alright, I have a way. Brother Moon Scar, does the group battle have to have five hundred people? Can it be a little less? "
Moon Scar said, "Not necessarily. It's just that the upper limit is five hundred. It's fine if the number is less. Brother Xu Anri, what do you want to do? "
Xuanyue smiled confidently and said, "That's easy to solve. Tomorrow, when the two sides have the group battle, Brother Dumb and I will fight as your allies. Just five hundred people, it's nothing in my eyes. This way, you guys can also avoid injuries. "Moon Scar was startled, thinking that he had heard wrongly. He frowned and said," What? Don't tell me it's just the two of you fighting the other side? How can that do? Brother, you can't joke around with your life! In the group battle, the other side will definitely send out all their experts. One mishap and you guys will be buried there. That absolutely can't be. Having confidence is a good thing, but you can't be too hasty. "
Xuanyue naturally heard Moon Scar's inner thoughts. She looked at Dumb who had his head lowered and didn't say a word, and thought to herself, I'll use this group battle to regain my brother's confidence. She smiled and said, "Brother Moon Scar, don't worry. I'm not overestimating myself. Please believe in us. With Brother Dumb and my strength, we can definitely help you get through this crisis."
At the side, Kino couldn't help but say before Moon Scar could speak, "No need for you guys to go. I'm enough. Releasing a Purple Flame Soaring Dragon will burn them until they piss their pants."
Oliveira snorted in disdain and said, "You go? That will only make things worse. My Tornado Remnant Clouds is more powerful. I guarantee that it will make them dizzy and lose their ability to fight. "
Xuanyue said, "No, you guys aren't mercenaries. You can't represent the Moon Scar Mercenary Group. Just watch from the side."
Oliveira and Kino were speechless. As important members of the Sorcerers Guild, without the approval of the president, they were absolutely not allowed to join the ranks of mercenaries.
Hearing their words, Moon Scar almost fainted. What kind of people were these?! It had only been a few years since he last saw Dumby. How did he make so many bragging friends? Judging from their attire, they were obviously all high-level magicians. How was it possible for them to fight against five hundred cavalrymen by themselves? Just as he was about to refuse, there was a sudden noise outside the door.
"What? My brother won't let anyone in? Not even me? I'm the vice leader. Get out of the way. If you block me again, I'll kick you to death … "
Dumby and Xuan Yue were both stunned. This domineering and arrogant voice was so familiar. With a bang, the door of the meeting hall was kicked open. An angry girl walked in. Her red outfit wrapped around her delicate body. Coupled with her slightly curly hair, she looked wild and seductive. It was Moon Scar's sister, Yue Ji.
Dumb stood up and smiled. "I haven't seen you for a few years. Sister Yue Ji's temper isn't so bad! You should be 23 or 24 years old. "
Yue Ji was slightly stunned. She looked at Dumb. That familiar honest face made her whole body tremble. "Ah! You, aren't you Dumb? Why are you here? "
Dumb smiled. "We were just passing by. I heard that your Moon Scar Mercenary Group has become famous, so I came to take a look."
Yue Ji closed the door and scolded him. "You still have a conscience. You're much better than before! You don't seem to be so stupid anymore. It must be because my sister Yue taught you well.
Dumby smiled bitterly and said, "Big sister, please leave me some face." Yue Ji walked in front of Dumb and punched him in the shoulder. Dumb's body flashed with a white light. In order not to hurt Yue Ji, he used all his strength. Yue Ji felt as if her fist had punched into a ball of cotton. She couldn't help but be stunned. The light disappeared. Dumb was still standing in the same place as if nothing had happened. Moon Scar frowned. "Little sister, what are you doing? Dumb came from afar. Why are you attacking him? "
Yue Ji giggled. "I'm seeing if he's been slacking off these years. Hmm, his martial skills are not bad! Dumb, if there's a chance, let's compete. " Her gaze fell on Xuanyue. She couldn't help but frown. She grabbed Xuanyue's shoulder and said, "Sister Yue, why are you like this? You look like a boy."
Xuanyue was almost scared to the ground by her words. Her face changed. She suppressed her racing heartbeat and said apologetically, "You, you must be sister Yue Ji. I'm not Yue. I'm Yue's big brother, Xuanri. I'm very happy to see you. Sigh, your hand is so heavy. Can you be a little gentler? "She didn't know if Yue Ji had really seen through her disguise. She could only try her best to conceal it.
Yue Ji let go of her hand and said blankly, "So you're not Yue! You guys really look alike. En, I understand now. You must be her twin brother, right? "
Xuanyue let out a long sigh in her heart. She said while panting slightly, "You can even guess this. Really impressive."
Moon Scar said, "Little sister, stop messing around. Quickly sit down. I'm just catching up with Brother Dumb. You, you're not young anymore. You're still so unruly. No wonder … "
Yue Ji said furiously, "No wonder what? No wonder I can't get married, right? I just don't want to get married. Hmph. Dumb, tell me, am I pretty or not? "
Dumb jumped in fright. He did not dare to offend Yue Ji. He hurriedly said, "Pretty, pretty."
Yue Ji said, "That's right. Other people can just casually find someone to marry. I also want to find someone who can protect me. What did you guys say? Tell me. "
Moon Scar seemed to be a little angry because of Yue Ji's clamor. He said in a low voice, "Little sister, be quiet. There are two guests here. "
Yue Ji was stunned. She turned her gaze to Kino and Oliveira. Oliveira smiled and said, "Hello, Miss Yue Ji. I'm the wind magician, Oliveira." After seeing Yue Ji, he secretly compared her to the Yakin people's chief, Tiya. In terms of appearance, Yue Ji was a bit inferior. However, the wildness and heroic spirit she contained was something that Tiya did not have. It could be said that they each had their own advantages.
Kino also stood up. Ever since Yue Ji entered the door, his eyes had never left her figure. That exquisite and delicate body, that head of curly red hair, was so moving. Kino's simple face flushed red. He lowered his head, not daring to meet Yue Ji's gaze. He murmured, "Hello, Miss Yue Ji. I'm the fire magician, Kino."
Yue Ji's gaze swept across Oliveira's face. She had never been interested in Oliveira's handsome and polite appearance. However, Kino's shyness was very interesting to her. She teased, "So men can also blush! Big brother, look, you said that I can't get married. When he looked at me, his face turned red. "
Kino wished that there was a hole in the ground for him to hide in. His heartbeat sped up, and he was so embarrassed that he couldn't speak. Yue Hen said in a bad mood, "That's enough. Brother Kino is an honest man. Don't bully him."
Yue Ji moved closer to Kino's side and said with a smile, "Did I bully you?" The faint fragrance from her body entered Kino's nose. Kino suddenly felt a burst of heat in his head. Looking at the beautiful face in front of him, he said repeatedly, "No, no, it's my fault."
Yue Ji giggled and said, "The way you blush is so interesting! This time, with the addition of you magicians, we have more confidence in dealing with those bastards who dare to challenge us. They still call themselves the Overlord Mercenary Group. This time, I'll turn them into tortoises to vent my anger. Dumb, you guys will help us, right? "
Seeing Kino's expression, Dumb's heart trembled. He was deeply afraid that Yue Ji would change her target to him. He hurriedly said, "Of course, we are discussing with Big Brother Yue Hen about the countermeasure. Big Brother Yue Hen, let's do as Brother Xuanri said. We will definitely do our best. "
Yue Hen looked at Dumb hesitantly. After all, this concerned the future of thousands of people in the Moon Scar Mercenary Group. He naturally couldn't make a rash decision. In his heart, he still believed that it was impossible for two people to win against five hundred people. Yue Ji looked at her big brother's hesitant expression and asked, "What did he say? How are you going to deal with those bastards? "
Yue Hen sighed and said, "Brother Xuan Ri said that he wants to team up with Brother Dumby and use the two of them to fight a team battle."
Yue Ji was shocked and looked doubtfully at Dumb and Xuanyue. "You guys aren't joking, right?"
Xuanyue said, "Of course not. We believe that we have the strength. Big Sister Yue Ji, don't worry."
Yue Ji stood up from her seat with a whoosh. Her eyes were filled with excitement as she said loudly, "Good, arrogant enough. I like it. Dumb, if the two of you can really defeat Fang, then I will marry you and be your wife. How about it? " Seeing Dumb and Xuanyue's expressions change, she giggled and said, "I'm just joking. You already have Little Sister Yue, so why would you want me?"
Dumb let out a sigh of relief and said helplessly, "Big Sister, if you continue like this, I'm afraid that I will be scared to death before I can help you in the group battle."
Yue Hen glared at Yue Ji and said, "Brother Dumb, I feel that we can't be too careless on this matter. If it's just the two of you fighting, it will be too dangerous. I won't be at ease. Let's go with our original plan for the group battle. If we lose, you can still make it in time for the one on one battle. "
Xuanyue frowned and said, "Big Brother Yue Hen, do you not trust us? How about this, we will still send out 500 people for the group battle. Dumb and I will be included. When the time comes, the two of us will go up first. If we can't beat the other party, then you can go up. That should be fine, right? "There was a faint anger in her voice as she stared firmly at Yue Hen.
Yue Hen looked at Xuanyue's determined gaze and couldn't help but shrink back. This kind of decision didn't affect him much. He could only say, "Alright then. We'll do as you say. However, you have to be careful in the group battle! If there's any danger, I will immediately bring people to save you. You must not have any mishaps. "
Xuanyue looked at Dumb confidently and said, "We will. It's useless to say anything now. When tomorrow comes, you will naturally understand why I'm so confident. "
Yue Hen nodded and said, "Since that's the case, how about this, little sister, you don't have to participate in the group battle tomorrow. I will bring 497 brothers to cheer for Dumb and Xuanri. If we lose the group battle, then we will decide the order of appearance for the one on one battle according to the situation. Whether our Moon Scar Mercenary Group is a dragon or a worm will depend on tomorrow. It's getting late. Little sister, go find Miao Fei and Wan Li. Let's welcome Brother Dumb and the others. " Although Dumb and the others had joined, Yue Hen still wasn't confident. He had only heard that the Overlord Mercenary Group's style was very valiant. However, after two days of information, he still didn't know the other party's strength. Right now, he could only force a smile. He had put a lot of effort into the Moon Scar Mercenary Group. He definitely didn't want the mercenary group that had just entered the right track to die prematurely.
When Miao Fei and Wan Li saw each other again, they were very affectionate. The dinner lasted for a full two hours in a cheerful atmosphere. After dinner, Yue Hen arranged a place for Dumb and the others to stay. After telling Dumb and the others to rest well, he continued to busy himself with tomorrow's matters. They had to pick out the members for tomorrow's group battle and make all the preparations. For Yue Hen and the others, this would be a busy night.
As night fell, he leaned on his bed and stared blankly at the dark night outside the window. Xuanyue and Dumb were in the same room. She looked at Dumb, who was in a daze, and her heart constantly fluctuated. Why was it so painful to love someone? Dumb! Do you know how deep my feelings for you are? With a deep sigh, Xuanyue laid on the bed and looked up at the ceiling. She said lightly, "Big brother, do you have confidence in tomorrow's group battle?"
Dumb was shocked and woke up from his daze. He shook his head and said, "We still don't know the opponent's situation. It's hard to say. If the Overlord mercenary group's strength is similar to the Skeleton mercenary group, I'm afraid it'll be very difficult for us to win unless we carry out a large scale massacre. But that's not something I want to see. Every time I kill someone, the hostility in my heart increases a little! Every living creature has the right to live. How can I bear to deprive them of it? "
Xuanyue said, "Big brother, do you know? You're actually a very cowardly person. " She was very clear that if she didn't provoke Dumb, he wouldn't walk out of the shadow of failure.
Dumb's whole body trembled. He lowered his head and said in a daze, "Brother, is that how you see me? Do I have to kill people to prove my strength? I'd rather not. "
Xuanyue said, "No, being strong doesn't mean you have to kill people. I'm not talking about your cowardice. Ever since the Yakin people came out, don't you know how decadent you've been? You've never looked at your own strength seriously. I dare say that with your current level, you're even comparable to the Sword Saint. But what about you? You've only experienced one setback and you're decadent. If this isn't cowardice, then what is? If the old Tiangang Kensei sees you like this, you don't know how disappointed he'll be. What you lack is the kind of domineering aura that can go against millions of people. You once said that you used to have the title of God of Death in the Sunset Empire. At that time, your strength was far from what it is now, but you could make all the nobles of the Sunset Empire fear you. Subduing the enemy without fighting is the highest level of martial arts. Your spiritual power has been stagnant since you came out of Memu City. The reason you can't make a breakthrough is because you rarely meditate, but the reason is also because your spiritual power is too weak. Domineering, what you need is domineering, do you understand? "
Dumb listened to Xuanyue's words and said in a daze, "Domineering. Domineering? "
Xuanyue's voice was a little excited, "Yes, domineering. I won't help you in tomorrow's team battle. At most, I'll cast a few supportive spells on you. You'll have to face everything by yourself. Let me see how strong you really are without killing anyone. The method is actually very simple. I want you to make all five hundred of them lose their ability to resist without using the three divine weapons, Hell King's Sword, Dragon God's Blood, and Goris's Wish. Not a single one of them can die. At the same time, it can't be more than half an hour. With your strength, you can definitely do it. When facing the enemy, you have to press forward and not worry too much. Big brother, this is my hope for you, and it's also the hope that the old Tiangang Kensei has for you. You're the savior that Prín spoke of. In order to save humanity from the catastrophe, the first thing you have to do is to improve your power to become the strongest in the continent. Only then can you deal with all the changes and face all the challenges. Tomorrow is the best chance to improve your willpower, I hope you can grasp it. Alright, I'm going to meditate. Think about it yourself. I hope to see a brand-new Big Brother Dumb on the battlefield tomorrow. " After saying that, she closed her eyes and calmed her emotions with the help of the Divine Energy. Gradually, she entered a state of meditation. She had said what she wanted to say. As for the results, it was up to Dumb himself.
Dumb sat on the bed in a daze, looking at Xuanyue in front of him. Xuanyue's words were like morning bells and evening drums, constantly shaking his heart. I'm too weak, yes! I'm really too weak. If it wasn't for my weakness, maybe Bing wouldn't have died. If it wasn't for my weakness, a lot of things could have been avoided. Brother Xuanri is right, I can't go on like this. I'm very strong, I've reached the highest realm of the Art of Life and Death. My martial skills are no weaker than the Chief Judge Xuan Yuan. "I'm very strong, I'm very strong." Muttering these three words, Dumb's thoughts began to change. Unclear images kept appearing in his mind, and a cold feeling instantly filled his whole body. He could clearly feel the surging battle intent constantly filling his heart. Although he couldn't see those images clearly, Dumb could clearly feel the spiritual level contained in those images constantly stimulating him. Under the influence of the images, his thoughts gradually merged with Xuanyue's words. At this moment, there was only one thought in Dumb's mind. He was a powerful existence, and from now on, he would no longer be a coward. Closing his eyes, he sank all his thoughts into the golden body in his dantian, feeling the surging energy waves of the golden body. Just like that, he entered a state of meditation. Just like what Xuanyue had said, tomorrow, there would definitely be a brand new Dumb.
Early in the morning, the sky gradually brightened. Everyone in the Moon Scar Mercenary Group woke up early with excited and somewhat trembling hearts. Today was the day that would decide the fate of their mercenary group. Whether or not they could continue to survive in the mercenary world depended on today's battle. Last night, Moon Scar had only meditated for five hours. Under his careful selection, he had found the five hundred strongest mercenaries to participate in today's battle. The four main leaders of the Moon Scar Mercenary Group were all gathered in the headquarters' meeting hall. Miao Fei's expression was very nervous, and Wan Li's wasn't much better. Together with the restless Moon Scar siblings, the meeting hall immediately fell into a heavy atmosphere. After all, they were still young men in their twenties. Although the Moon Scar Mercenary Group had developed very quickly, they hadn't experienced anything big. Now that they had encountered such a big problem, they could only endure it.
Miao Fei was the first to lose his composure under the heavy atmosphere. He sighed and said, "I hope that Dumb and Xuanri are really as strong as they say and can win in one strike."
Moon Scar frowned and angrily said, "Don't count on them for everything. This is our own problem. What if Dumb and Xuanri aren't here? Can we always have people to help us when we face a crisis? We can only rely on ourselves. Today's battle is related to our faith. Whether or not the Moon Scar Mercenary Group can continue to grow depends on today. We can't lose. We definitely can't lose. "He clenched his fists tightly. His body slightly trembled and his eyes flashed with a Cold Light. For the past three years, he had been developing the Moon Scar Mercenary Group while constantly working hard to increase his own strength. It was all for the sake of developing the Moon Scar Mercenary Group into a powerful existence like the Red Nightmare Mercenary Group that could affect the entire mercenary world. Now, the Moon Scar Mercenary Group's biggest test had arrived. Whether or not they could pass this test would determine whether or not their dreams would come true. In the face of danger, he could only rush forward without hesitation. He had no other choice.
Feeling Moon Scar's desire for victory, everyone was silent. Yue Ji felt as if she was having difficulty breathing. It was as if there was a large stone pressing down on her heart. She slightly frowned and said, "It's getting late. I'll go wake Dumb and the others up." After saying this, she ran towards the place where Dumb and Xuanyue lived.
