The Death List Novel - Chapter 410
Chapter 410 Staggered
“Guild Leader, they’ve already passed!” There was a thief quietly beside Robin.
The thief was not Longer, but a subordinate of the lost apostle. Robin gently nodded, indicating that he knew. Then, he turned his gaze to the fortress team and discovered that Longer had also appeared beside Stark and was quietly reporting back.
It was already the second day since they came down from the Alamir Mountains, and they were now very close to the Mir Forest. However, the direction they were heading was not towards the forest, but towards the north along the edge of the forest.
At noon today, the thieves who had scouted ahead discovered that the mercenary troop was galloping towards the Alamir Mountains. It should be the reinforcements that the dwarf who had called for help had called for from the Mill Forest.
The envoy, who had expected this, dodged the group sideways, but the apostles, of course, did not tell Milleras or the dwarves about it. In any case, Milleras had already decided not to go to the Mill Fairy Court. If they met with the Mill Fairy again, there would be no benefits other than attracting the apostle guild that had been robbed of their mission.
As for reporting to the Fairy Court, it was enough for Milleras to send out a Fairy Ranger. In fact, the prince and the dwarf had already asked about it this morning. However, Milleras could not blame the apostles for the staggered procession of the two sides of the road, which led to Heaven’s Path.
By the time the rescue team from the Mill Forest arrived at Iron Star Fort and found out what had happened, the envoy would have already left Kalinshan. Even if there was an apostle guild in the guild, there was nothing they could do.
Perhaps that team would see other apostles stealing their main plot and even get information about the Sun Fairy Envoy from King Mir. However, without the storyline guidance, it would be difficult to find them in the vast sea of people. This was not because they were incompetent, but because they were one of the few limitations of the apostles themselves.
Rather than heading north aimlessly to search for their envoy, the Mill Forest apostle team might as well take some hidden missions from Mill Forest or Karinshan. Since the guidance of the Broken Universe had no effect, they would definitely be given some compensation missions.
Milleras turned around to look for him after the group had traveled a distance north again.
Milleras said helplessly, “If it weren’t for the fact that Mill Forest didn’t send a rescue team, we would have missed it.”
“Then what do you plan to do? Do you want to turn around?” Qin Lun secretly laughed. He thought to himself that he didn’t miss it, but that the group of mercenaries under you didn’t plan to meet up with the Mill Elves at all.
“Don’t look back. Send a messenger to the Miles Fairy Court.” Milleras said nonchalantly, then glanced at Elistine and asked with a suppressed smile, “What about you, Ferrari, do you want to send someone to the Mill Fairy Court?”
Seeing Milleras looking at her, Elistine rolled his eyes expressionlessly. Ever since he was tricked by the Prince of the Sun Fairy at the edge of the Anke Forest, the druid had never given him a good look again.
However, when Elistine heard what Milleras said, he immediately glared at Qin Lun angrily. When Qin Lun came out of the Anke Forest, aside from Stark and the others, there was only Elistine following him. If he wanted to send a messenger to the Mill Forest, she was naturally the one.
“Thank you so much for reminding me! However, there’s no need.” Qin Lun curled his lips and looked at Milleras with contempt. This brat definitely did not have good intentions. He knew that Elistine would not leave, but he deliberately came over to see him laugh at him.
“Hehe, then don’t say that I didn’t warn you in the future!” Milleras laughed embarrassedly and ran away.
As the group marched, an elven ranger and a dwarf split into two directions and left the group. The Fairy Ranger went to the Mill Forest. After that, he would probably return to the Commando Forest by himself. From the Ancient Road to Kalinshan, they had already traveled more than half the distance, so they really needed someone to report the news.
The dwarf was heading to Snow Peak Castle to set up a stronghold at the border between Karinshan and Cespiates. The dwarves were different from the elves. The travel of the elves in Faylon Continent was very troublesome, and many cities were not friendly to them.
Seeing the handsome and beautiful elves, most humans would be tempted, deceived, poisoned, intercepted, and killed. In cities filled with malice, pure-blooded elves were practically unable to move a single step. Unless they were sleeping in the open, or sheltering in a mercenary group, no matter how powerful they were, they would eventually become slaves.
Dwarves were different. In terms of human aesthetics, no matter how handsome and elegant a dwarf was, it still looked so ugly. Moreover, the dwarves were hot-tempered and powerful. Many of them had a forging skill and were the best choice for mercenaries and blacksmiths. Therefore, they were very popular with humans.
Although most dwarves, like the elves, chose to avoid human cities, the elves lived in seclusion in the woods, while the dwarves lived in seclusion on mountains and hills. However, the dwarves still set up strongholds in various human kingdoms to gather intelligence information from the outside world.
Shortly after the two messengers left, Milleras mysteriously came to discuss with him. However, Qin Lun shook his head like a rattle drum as soon as he explained his intentions.
“No, even if Snow Peak Castle is willing to provide us with griffins, there are more than twenty of us now. How can we sit down!” Qin Lun firmly objected, “Milleras, have you ever thought about it? A griffin can only sit on two people except for food and clean water. More than twenty people need at least one squadron of griffins. Neither Tyser nor Ames will allow so many aerial warriors to cross the border.”
“What if there are only seven or eight people, three or four griffins?” Milleras stammered as his gaze dodged.
“You want to leave Robin and Stark behind?” ‘”Who is Qin Lun?” Milleras understood after mentioning him. He immediately curled his lips, “Do you dare to say that to them? Do you believe that Kelly will tear your mouth apart?”
“But … aren’t they mercenaries? When they were in Iron Star Fort, they had already taken a lot of gold coins and treasures. There’s no need to take any risks next. Isn’t that not good?” Milleras asked curiously.
Qin Lun sighed. He thought that if it was an ordinary mercenary, he might be willing to terminate the contract. The question was, were Robin and Stark ordinary mercenaries?
Of course, he couldn’t tell Milleras the truth now, and he had to find a suitable reason for it. After thinking for a while, Qin Lun said seriously, “Milleras, do you think Commander Robin and the others are still doing their duty?”
“Well, although they sometimes make their own decisions, they are still very responsible for hiring missions. At least in the first few dangers, they will stay with us and share our joys and sorrows, not flee for their lives.” Milleras said without hesitation.
“Then before you came into contact with Commander Robin and the others, what did you think of the human-dominated mercenary corps?” Qin Lun said indifferently.
Milleras pondered for a moment before frowning. He was originally a smart man, and soon understood what Qin Lun meant. “Filar, you mean the other mercenary groups on the continent are not as loyal and reliable as Robin and Stark?”
Qin Lun smiled and shook his finger. “Milleras, you must know that both the Lost Mercenary Group led by Commander Robin and the Fort Mercenary Group led by Commander Stark were carefully selected by the Commander Elf King and the Testament King before they were hired.
If we cancel the employment contract with them now, where will you hire such a good mercenary group after we arrive at the Gate of Bird on the Griffin? If you don’t, your path to the Ancient Era may end at the Gate of Bode forever. Or do you think you have a better eye for people than the two Elf Kings? ”
“Yes, you’re right, I was wrong!” Milleras rubbed his nose awkwardly and asked tentatively, “Shall we … walk through Tyser and Ames according to our original plan?”
“The original plan was to go to Karin Harbor!” Milleras didn’t mention his original plan. When he mentioned it, Qin Lun had a smelly face and was put on by the Prince of the Sun Fairy. He was still very unhappy.
“Haha … the weather today is really good!” Seeing Qin Lun’s unfriendly expression, Milleras laughed embarrassedly and ran away.
Actually, after Milleras proposed the new Ancient Road in Iron Star Fort, the troubles caused to the crowd were not only the changes to the mission nodes, but also the troubles on their daily journeys.
One had to know that according to the original plan, the envoys would be able to rest and replenish themselves at regular intervals in elven courts such as the Mill Forest. The rulers of the Moon Fairy or the human kingdom, regardless of what they secretly thought about the migration of the Japanese Fairies, would not make things difficult for the Japanese Fairy envoys on the surface, or even protect them within a certain sphere of influence.
However, Milleras’ change of plan meant that they would not only have to face all the dangers along the way independently before arriving at Bird’s Gate, but they would also have to stay in the wilderness all the time and not be able to enter any big cities. The only benefit was that Santalin would lose track of them again.
Originally, after Milleras changed his plan, he wanted to return to Seth Patz through the seaport at the eastern foot of the Aramir Mountains, then enter the Snowflakes Mountains and the Giant Plains, directly bypassing Tyser and Ames, but in the end, everyone rejected him.
The reason was also very simple. Although they didn’t know where Santalin would pursue him, everyone believed that this dark organization, which had its roots in controlling the trade routes, should already have spies in the various seaports of Steam Lake. This time around, he was definitely throwing himself into a trap, thinking that he had not died fast enough.
Fortunately, Milleras had the advantage of being obedient. Apart from his grand strategy, he had always pretended to be a puppet.
Actually, everyone still didn’t know that Milleras’ temporary decision had really allowed them to avoid a disaster. At this moment, in an underground tavern in Karin Harbor, a group of black-robed men were rushing in front of them, waiting for the arrival of the Sun Fairy Envoy.
