"The agreed place is in the South District!"
The one following was a tall and thin man. After taking off the hood, his azure hair shone softly in the sun. At this time, his attitude in front of Wu Ming was extremely humble: "Please follow me!"
Wu Ming followed him indifferently, all the way to the southern area, watching the traffic on both sides gradually thinning out, and finally came to a garbage dump, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Are you a mercenary? From the wolf heart mercenary group, Alf Reid's men?"
"how do you know?"
The tall and thin man's complexion suddenly became extremely vigilant.
"The mercenary smell on your body can't be washed away!"
Wu Ming drew out his long sword and stared at the front: "One, two... well, there are seven archers in total, and they must have brought military heavy crossbows, right? It is indeed enough to besiege and kill a knight!"
"He found out!"
The tall and thin man jumped away quickly and shouted, but he still couldn't hide from a silver sword light.
He ran two steps and entered the ambush circle, but bloody arrows spewed out from behind, and he fell limply to the ground.
"kill him!"
Accompanied by shouts, more than a dozen people emerged from the surroundings, wearing leather armor and waving various weapons such as spears, long swords, and heavy hammers.
"It really is the heart of a wild wolf!"
This kind of ambush, if Wu Ming really knows nothing and falls into the trap, it will be really troublesome.
but now
He swung his long sword, and the two mercenaries screamed and flew backwards.
Whoosh!
Wu Ming turned into a phantom, instead of entangled with these mercenaries, he rushed to a high ground.
call out!
A few long arrows passed by his ears, causing his hair to flutter.
He rushed up to the rubbish mountain, and immediately saw a depression, in which were four mercenaries, three with bows and arrows, and one holding a crossbow, staring at him with terrified eyes.
"die!"
Facing this kind of guy who wanted his life, Wu Ming naturally would not have the slightest sympathy. With his long sword slashing horizontally, he cut an archer with a long bow in half.
Ding Ding!
He backhanded a sword, and the two archers who drew their daggers clutched their necks and fell to the ground.
"Forgive me! Forgive me!"
Seeing this scene, the mercenary who used the crossbow finally collapsed completely, begging for mercy on his knees.
"What do you want?"
Wu Ming killed him with a sword, then picked up the long bow, quickly bent the bow and set the arrow, and let it go down the mountain.
call out!
A mercenary who was chasing after him fell to the ground, and the tail feathers of the long arrow on his neck were still trembling.
After having a longbow, combined with his observation ability, he could harvest a life almost as soon as he released the bow and arrow, coupled with his astonishing arm strength, he was able to shoot the bow one after another, but after several times, the servant below The soldier yelled, didn't dare to go forward again, and just rushed away.
"After all, they are just mercenaries who take money to do things! The willpower and sacrifice spirit are too bad..."
Wu Ming shook his head. With the weapons and strength of this group of people, if they are not afraid of sacrifice, even if they don't lead themselves into a trap, they should be able to cause a little trouble.
But now, they have been defeated one by one, and even began to collapse. This is the biggest difference between mercenaries and regular troops.
"And... if Alfred is here, with his strength, it is enough to restrain me..."
Wu Ming knew another weakness of his opponent - fear of death!
This is easy to understand. After all, Alfred has led the Heart of the Wolf to win the appreciation of the Earl of Blue Mountain, and a title is indispensable.
Moreover, even if the entire army is wiped out, if it can cause Wu Ming a little injury, even if it consumes a lot of physical strength, it is worth the money.
Sacrificing the inferiors in exchange for benefits is almost instinctive in the eyes of those nobles.
Now Wu Ming has confirmed that this Alfred is almost exactly the same as those blue-blooded nobles.
"And the Beatrice-like temperament before, could it be that he is also a blue blood... unexpectedly became a mercenary leader? Is it a descendant of a landless noble, or the second son who was expelled from the family?"
Wu Ming stepped forward a few steps, checking the people who died under his hands.
Although there are still a few archers and mercenaries running away, this does not affect the overall situation at all. What's more, with their concealment, it is simply a dream to ambush Wu Ming.
"It's just... Alfred, since you gave me such a gift, how could I not return it?"
Wu Ming looked in the direction of the city with deep eyes.
His principle has always been an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, as for collecting evidence and reporting to the city guard
Ha ha... That would be really naive, even though all the officials here are as clean as angels, but to the Earl of Blue Mountain, a mercenary regiment of hundreds of people led by a knight, compared with another outstanding knight, which one is more important? Value, need I say more
…
The location of the wolf heart mercenary group is quite easy to find.
As a newly rising public figure, Alfred generously booked two adjacent hotels to accommodate his wave of mercenary brothers, and the money he spent was like flowing water.
They are also favorite guests of small merchants, cooks, and even warblers in the neighborhood.
However, today's wolf heart mercenary regiment looked quiet, the original all-night banquet disappeared, replaced by a dignified atmosphere, and faint curses came.
The businessmen who were as clever as mice ran away without a trace, and even the nightingale disappeared. At dusk, the streets were empty, and it looked quite bleak.
This dignified atmosphere even affected the surrounding residents. Many people locked the doors and windows firmly, and got into the bed early, shivering uncomfortably.
It was just beyond their expectation that nothing happened that night, which made them all heave a sigh of relief.
…
Squeak!
In the hotel, second only to Alfred's room.
A female mercenary just came back here, her body was stiff, she took a deep breath, closed the door, then turned around, looked at Wu Ming who suddenly appeared, with a smile on her face: "William? "
Her voice was low, but confident.
"The second person in the heart of the wolf, the widow of the former leader, and the current deputy leader, Black Spider Tana!"
Wu Ming sat on the seat carelessly, with his long sword still in its sheath, and raised his eyebrows: "It seems that you should call someone to come directly, after all, I am your enemy!"
"I want to correct you, you are Alfred's enemy! Not mine!"
Tana smiled sweetly, her red lips curved slightly, she sat down next to Wu Ming, and a scent lingered: "And... if I call out loudly, I'm afraid I will die right away?"
She licked her lips: "I'm curious, how did you get in? Could it be that you are an assassin?"
As she said, a jade hand had begun to climb Wu Ming's chest irregularly.
"Behave yourself!"
Wu Ming also admitted that Tana in front of him is a beauty, but he came here for business: "Although I like the bright colors of spiders, I don't want to dance with them and be injected with the venom of the black widow!"
As a female mercenary, Tana didn't rely on her looks to get to this position. In terms of ruthlessness, she was probably even worse than ordinary men.
"It's a pity... I still want to see your bravery outside the battlefield!"
Tana looked regretful. Although she stopped moving, she still spoke teasingly.
"As far as I know, Alfred was not the head of the mercenary group at the beginning. The previous head was your husband... But after his death, Alfred took over the entire mercenary group, of course... also occupied about you!"
Wu Ming took a deep look at Tana: "Want to take revenge?"
"You are so direct..."
Tana was taken aback, and immediately asked, "Do I have any choice?"
To be honest, although she has a few loyal mercenaries in her hands and has a little prestige in the lower levels, she is far inferior to Alfred.
As he continued to purge and install his confidants, Tana's control over the mercenary group became smaller and smaller, so she had no choice but to become Alfred's mistress, relying on women's capital to protect herself.
"Of course... I won't ask you to do anything now..."
Wu Ming didn't have the slightest trust in this woman, and it was hard to say whether she even missed her deceased husband.
"I can only promise you one thing, Alfred will definitely die in tomorrow's semi-finals!"
His voice was indifferent: "All you need to do is seize this opportunity!"
This is an ambitious woman, a beautiful black widow, but Wu Ming is not going to control her at all, but is just going to throw a temptation to attract the spider.
Sure enough, Tana's heart was moved immediately.
The confidants sent by Alfred today suffered heavy casualties, and his foundation has been shaken. If he dies again, he will be the first to get the news, and he, who has been prepared for a long time, may indeed control the mercenary group in his hands!
Although it is extremely difficult for many people to kill Alfred, Tana has confidence in William.
Just relying on the skill shown by the other party today and Alfred's fear, she is sure to bet on this game.
Of course, the biggest reliance is the premise of Wu Ming's plan, which can only be activated after Alfred's death. Before that, Tana didn't have the slightest risk.
Touching people with affection is just a bad idea. Wu Ming chose to seduce this woman with profit.
"So... what do you want?"
There seemed to be fire in Tana's eyes.
"A lot...including everything that is private to Alfred, including the last auction item..."
Wu Ming smiled slightly, and reported his conditions: "Believe me, what you get will be far more than this!"
"What about the Earl's interference? The Heart of the Wolf Mercenary Group has almost been designated as the target for inclusion!"
"What he cares about is only the strength of your mercenary group, it doesn't matter who is the head of the mercenary group..."
Wu Ming replied: "If it works well, maybe you will get a title!"
Taking action against Alfred rashly may attract hostility from other forces, but after Wu Ming understands these tricks, the end of the other party will come.
