On the way, everyone at first took care of Zhang Xiao and deliberately slowed down, but then they discovered that this seemingly thin young mercenary mage actually had physical strength and endurance that did not match his body, even if it was He didn't see any fatigue in the continuous high-speed driving, but Berserker Kahn was the worst one. It is no wonder that the Berserkers are very explosive races, and Kahn's professional level is only C, so the physical strength and endurance are worse than others.

After crossing a mountain ridge, the magic crystal in the hands of Captain Robert no longer changed, so he decided to rest on the spot, and the shadow of the A-level assassin disappeared in the forest in front after everyone stopped.

Although everyone is generally a single-acting mercenary, the long-term mercenary career also allows each to understand when and what to do.

In the evening, Shadow returned to the mercenary team.

"Found it?" Captain Robert asked the shadow, who had been masked, and the crowd sat around to prepare a battle plan.

"En. Thirty miles to the west, there is a canyon. The robbers are made up of humans, gray dwarves and orcs, about 80 people. They have built castles and caves at the bottom of the valley, and there are guards built around them, but they have not seen more than B level. Of professionals appeared."

"At the bottom of the canyon, it's really easy to defend and hard to attack." Captain Robert lowered his head and touched his chin and began to meditate.

"We can go down from the cliffs on both sides at night. The cliffs are not too high, about 800 meters. Be careful you shouldn’t be spotted. But it’s more troublesome to get out. You have to go through Taniguchi, where I saw archers and a few The figure of a tauren is very tightly guarded." Shadow has already figured out a way to enter.

"Tauren!" Everyone's brows tightened, only Zhang Xiao still stared blankly at the yellow sunset above the treetops in the distance.

The tauren is one of the strongest fighting races among the orcs. They are born with brute force, and their explosive power can catch up with the Berserkers. According to their strength, they are divided into ordinary tauren, silver ring tauren and golden ring tauren. The tauren above the silver ring strength has its own endurance halo, which is simply a killing machine. Fortunately, the robbers were only ordinary tauren. If there was a golden ring tauren, Zhang Xiao and his party would have to go home directly.

In addition, the gray dwarves are also a trouble. Although they are also a branch of the dwarves, they are much more brutal than other dwarves. They are good at swinging huge axes and sledgehammers larger than their own bodies to knock enemies into a pile of mud.

"Have you seen the bandit leader?" Robert began to worry about the mission. Now that the tauren and gray dwarf have appeared, maybe there are more powerful ones that have not appeared.

"No!" Shadow just probed down from the top of the cliff. He didn't dare to go down yet.

"Can you determine the goal?" Robert asked about the mission goal of this trip.

"The preliminary judgment is that it is in the largest cave at the bottom of the valley, and there is a guard at the door." Shadow is worthy of being an A-level assassin, and he has done everything well.

"Then our plan is tentatively as follows: We start to move in the middle of the night, one by one down the cliff, and then find the cargo and break through Taniguchi. At that time, I, Kahn and Shadow will open the way in front, the archer Alex and Sword and Shield. The samurai Alexei will try his best to protect the wizard and just rush forward. If you get lost in the middle, you must return to the Mercenary Guild in Weds City within seven days. If the wizard and I do not arrive, the mission will be failed. If the others do not arrive, we will automatically give up!" Captain Robert's expression was solemn, and he looked around at the crowd: "If you don't have any problems, take a break now, and Hong Liang will leave when he first arrives."

Everyone naturally had no opinion on this plan, and they all looked for places to rest and prepare.

There are two moons in this world, one red moon and one purple moon. The red moon appears at the same time as the moon on the earth, while the purple moon comes later, probably in the second half of the night, and sets with the red moon at dawn.

The evening breeze caressed, the shadows of the trees whirled, a crescent crescent hung on the treetops, and the seven vigorous shadows among the trees ran swiftly without making any sound.

Zhang Xiao and the others approached the cliff carefully, and under the 800-meter cliff, you could see faintly dots of light. After everyone hid behind a huge boulder, Shadow dived carefully down the cliff.

According to the pre-arranged plan, if there is no movement after ten minutes, everyone will continue one by one.

Ten minutes later, there was still silence under the cliff. The second one was the Elf Demon Archer Alex. He jumped out lightly with a bow and arrow in his hand, and disappeared after a few jumps on the protrusions on the cliff with his toes.

Then came Captain Robert and Berserker Kahn. Although they can’t jump down like the elf archer Alexis but climb down the cliff, their speed is also very fast. With the protruding stone wall and plants, Robert got down 15 minutes later. At the bottom of the cliff, Kahn was a little slower, but followed closely.

According to the arrangement, now it was Zhang Xiao's turn and the sword and shield warrior Alexei. Taking into account that the general body of the wizard is relatively weak, it would be very embarrassing for others to make such a wizard go down an 800-meter cliff alone without making a sound, so the sword and shield warrior Alexei decided to laugh back.

The sword and shield warrior Aliffy’s race is a demon gargoyle. They all have a pair of bat-like wings. Although they can’t fly for a long time, they don’t have any problems in short distances. Zhang Xiao’s body looks very thin, so He is confident that Zhang Xiao will go down this cliff without any accidents. He is still very confident of his B-level professional strength.

He walked in front of Zhang Xiao, bending his knees and bending over to wait for Zhang Xiao to come up, which looked exactly like an athlete preparing for the long jump.

Zhang Xiao looked strangely at the back of the sword and shield warrior Alexei, not knowing what he was doing in front of him. Seeing that Zhang Xiao still didn't understand, Yalifei beckoned with her hands behind her back, motioning Zhang Xiao to put him on his back.

Looking at the wings of the sword and shield warrior Alexei, Zhang Xiao thought he was still doing preparatory exercises, thinking that this race is really weird. When he grows his wings, he needs to do preparatory activities. Think about the following People were still waiting for them, Zhang Xiao decided to ignore the troublesome gargoyle, jumped directly over Alexei's head and jumped out of the cliff.

The impatient Alexei was about to turn her head and urge, but suddenly saw a black shadow jumping from her head straight to the bottom of the cliff, and it was the thin necromancer. Alifi thought that someone behind him caused Zhang Xiao to fall off the cliff. She retracted her wings and turned and drew out the big sword on his back with a sound of his right hand. The huge shield also fell on his left hand and stood in front of him.
