At this time, everyone had already sobered up. Since it was already a habit, everyone quickly entered battle mode.
Natalia cast an Arcane Illumination Spell, and the surroundings immediately became much clearer. These spiders were far more terrifying than we had imagined, and I was almost stung by one of their stingers.
Actually, when I was following Hiseside The Elder, I had heard about these large spiders that lived in the swamps. Their poison was so terrifying that it could even kill people.
Not only that, with the help of the Illumination Spell, I saw that there were far more than eight Stinger Spiders. There were at least twenty of them.
I didn't have time to think and immediately swung my Sword of Retribution at a spider that was trying to attack me. I used all my strength in this attack, and the spider was directly split into two halves. The spider's juices sprayed everywhere.
At the same time, Flants used his shield to block the huge and ugly tentacles of the Stinger Spider. Natalia was behind Flants, and with one hand, she released a Flame Impact Spell. The spider was roasted by the flames, and a burnt smell wafted out.
Kevin and Avina were behind me, shooting at the group of spiders. The three of us formed a triangular formation. This way, we could protect each other's backs. This tactic was the result of our long experience in actual combat.
About two or three Stinger Spiders died under Avina's hands because their bodies were full of ice arrows.
However, Kevin's side wasn't so optimistic. The firearm he invented only managed to seriously injure one Stinger Spider. Because the Stinger Spider's shell was relatively hard, the firearm's penetration power wasn't enough, and it took a long time to reload. If it wasn't for Avina taking care of Kevin's side, he would have been injured by these Stinger Spiders.
Mayfair was also hiding behind Flants. Our Sir Knight was very competent, and he always fulfilled his duty of protecting the two mages in the team.
Because our defense was flawless, these spiders didn't hurt us. Of course, this was thanks to the timely appearance of the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group. Their actions gave us precious time to catch our breaths.
Fire arrows streaked across the night sky and pierced through the bodies of the Poison Spike Spiders. None of the arrows missed their targets.
At the same time, the warriors who were brandishing their dual swords also crazily brandished their dual swords and chopped at those spiders. Very quickly, with the help of the Iron Wolves Mercenary Group, those spiders were either dead or heavily injured, and the rest disappeared into the endless night.
"Hello, we are from the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group. My name is Avina, and this is Loser. "The elven girl who also used a bow and arrow like Avina said.
However, unlike Avina, this golden-haired Elf girl used a flaming arrow. If not for her timely help, I would have been seriously injured.
"Nice to meet you, we are members of the Demon Hunting Blade Brotherhood. My name is Natalia. Thank you very much for your help. "
"My name is Laric. Thank you.
"My name is Avina."
"I'm Flants."
"I'm Mayfair."
"It's my turn. I'm Kelvin, the great inventor."
"Haha, nice to meet you too. I'm Loser. I'm a warrior."
That was how we and the Iron Wolves Mercenary Group got to know each other. That night, they brought us to the Iron Wolves Mercenary Group's camp not far away.
Since it was already late, we wrapped ourselves in sleeping bags and went to sleep in a temporary tent. That night, we slept very soundly.
When we woke up the next day, the sun was already high in the sky.
We lifted the curtain of the tent and walked out. The dazzling sunlight felt good, even though it was still a little damp.
The mercenary group's camp wasn't big, and there were about forty to fifty people. Sharpened wooden fences were erected around the camp, and there were mercenaries taking turns to guard the camp.
At this time, Avina saw that we were all awake. She came over and told us that breakfast was ready. She told us to go to the mercenary group leader's tent to eat breakfast.
The six of us followed Avina to the leader's tent. The tent was very spacious.
There was a large round table in the tent, and breakfast for seven people was placed on the table.
To my surprise, this legendary mercenary group leader wasn't as scary as I had imagined. On the contrary, he was very easy-going and easy to get along with.
He had a thick beard on his face, and his body exuded an aura of vicissitudes of life.
"Everyone hasn't eaten breakfast yet, right? I haven't eaten either. Come, come, sit down and eat together." The mercenary group leader called Avina and invited us to sit down.
"Don't be shy. I don't have any delicious dishes here. It's just some simple dishes. Everyone, eat as much as you want. I'll take care of everything here. "After the six of us sat down, the mercenary group leader began to speak.
Since I hadn't eaten a decent meal for several days, I began to eat heartily when I saw such a sumptuous breakfast.
"Thank you for your hospitality, leader. This time, we didn't come here just to eat such a sumptuous breakfast, right?" Natalia said.
"Eat your fill first. After that, we will talk about the next mission." The mercenary group leader said.
Just like that, we ate a full breakfast. The amount of food that we ate really shocked the mercenary leader, but he was very happy.
Through the conversation at the table, we learned that this legendary heroic mercenary group leader's name was Fawns.
After eating our fill, we began to discuss the next related matters.
It turned out that the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group had been stationed in the Misty Swamp long ago under the guidance of Prophet Bollands. The reason was simple. Prophet had sensed that the power of darkness here was restless. The ancient power seemed to have been corroded by the aura of the devil, and an evil power was awakening.
This time, we Demon Hunter's Blade had received the leader's orders to come here and investigate. In the next period of time, we will conduct a thorough search of the Misty Swamp to find traces of the power of darkness, and eliminate them as soon as possible.
After knowing what we were going to do next, Fawns had Avina arrange our accommodations and told us to take a look around the camp.
The camp was pretty good. Some mercenaries even set up stalls to sell their spoils of war. In short, the atmosphere in the camp was harmonious. The mercenaries had a good relationship with one another.
However, a small boy caught everyone's attention. That boy sat alone in the corner of the camp. He sat there blankly, not saying a word.
"His name is Marcarlos. Don't disturb him. His parents died when the Wings of Destruction attacked the Royal City. He witnessed their deaths with his own eyes. It was the Guild Leader who found the wandering Carlos and brought him back to adopt him. Marcarlos never talks to others. It's best if you don't provoke him. He's very special. "Avina saw that we were curious and explained to us.
Ivina even emphasized that the child was very special …
