Quiet, deathly quiet.
Focus, the focus of all eyes.
The person who said this was just a small person in the mercenary group. Oathless Sword, who was counting, turned back in astonishment. Seeing this guy, he smiled calmly: "Call your leader to come and talk to me!"
The man nodded: "That's what our team leader asked me to say, and our whole team agreed to withdraw from this mission."
Only then did Oathless Sword take this seriously, and slowly stood up, with anger already on his face. Quitting the mission at this time is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire. The Oathless Sword personnel have probably done most of the counting, and the current count is more than 300. It is roughly estimated that there are still about 400 players in the world, which is nearly half. The mercenary regiment suffered even more losses. There were originally more than 500 people, but now there are only about 200 left.
But the problem is that the players who sacrificed across the world have failed the mission and returned to Cloud City. As for the players of the mercenary group, as long as Todd is not dead, their mission will not be regarded as a failure, and they will be resurrected in White Rock City, and they can rush to Boulevard City in more than three hours. Oathless Sword and the others hired so many mercenary groups just to prevent the current situation where the guild's manpower is greatly damaged. But now, the members of the mercenary group actually said that they would withdraw from the mission. Oathless Sword believed that he must not be the only one who felt that it was too much.
Who would have thought that without waiting for him to speak, the heads or temporary representatives of three mercenary regiments stepped forward: "We also want to quit."
"You guys!!!" Oathless Sword was so angry that he didn't know what to say. The other party's tone was firm, and it seemed that he was basically informing him, and definitely not discussing with the Sword of Oath.
"Withdrawing at this time, are you going too far?" There are many players who are unhappy in the hearts of players across the world, and someone stands up and speaks out at this time.
In the end, one of the four mercenary regiments who were about to withdraw nodded his head and said, "That's right, I'm sorry. So our regiment decided to refund the deposit in full." After speaking, this man turned around and talked with the brothers in the regiment. After some exchange, everyone rummaged through their pockets, gathered up a purse, and handed it to the Sword Without Oath.
Regarding the deposit, different mercenary groups have different rules, and sometimes employers who are anxious to find mercenaries will use this method to lure people into the bait. For example, in this mission of Zongsihaihai, there is a rule to pay half of the deposit first, and pay the other half after the mission is completed. Even if the guild mission fails in the end, the deposit will not be refunded.
But right now, the mercenary group is taking the initiative to withdraw from the mission. This kind of thing has not happened so far. The Sword Without Oath only regrets that there is no clause for breaking the contract. He didn't reach out to pick up the deposit returned by the other party. Behind him, Feng Xing had already stood up and said angrily: "It's not about the money, the problem is that you guys are too dishonest, right?"
The other party obviously didn't feel that what he had done was such a glorious thing, he didn't raise his head very high, and his eyes flickered so as not to touch Feng Xing and Oathless Sword, he said calmly: "I'm sorry, We really didn't feel we were capable enough for this mission."
"So I was afraid." Feng Xing sneered. In fact, anyone could have imagined that at this time someone would retreat, and there was no other reason other than fear.
"Afraid?" Unexpectedly, the other party showed dissatisfaction with this word. After looking squarely at Feng Xing, he continued his gentle attitude: "This mission, to put it bluntly, we are here to be cannon fodder. If we were really afraid, would we accept such a mission?"
Feng Xing was taken aback.
"President Unsworn, you should still remember how you attracted us to run this mission in the first place, right? Is it just for the mercenary fee? Hehe, I am afraid that none of the mercenary brothers present are just so angry. This There are five main cities for this mission. Now we have visited three of Moonlight, Baishi, and Linyin, and three-fifths of the mission has passed. In my opinion, our estimation seems to be a bit wrong. This mission is not what we imagined. The extra income in the process is even more of a high-risk, zero-reward link such as a two-way mission. After discussing it, we think that it is really difficult for us to continue this mission. That's all there is to say, so feel free to think what you want!"
After the player finished speaking, seeing that the Sword of Oath still had no intention of taking his purse, he bent down and gently put the purse on the ground, turned around and waved: "Let's go."
Several players immediately separated from the crowd and returned to the woods without looking back.
The other three families were about to leave. They just felt that the brother had finished all he could say, so they silently took out their money bags and put them on the ground, then turned around and led the crowd away.
Oathless Sword was about to say something, but unexpectedly, this kind of behavior would spread like a plague, and people from five mercenary regiments stood up one after another, silently put down their money bags, turned and left silently.
"Hey, you guys..." Feng Xing wanted to chase angrily, but was grabbed by the Sword of Oath, shook his head and said, "Forget it, let them go!"
Looking around again, Oathless Sword said in a deep voice, "Is there anyone else who wants to leave?"
The remaining mercenary groups looked at each other, among them was the largest black-handed mercenary group in Cloud City. Although the head of the team, Black Index Finger, was killed, he did not retreat just yet. At this time, Drifting was still in the team, standing calmly at the head of the team.
Afterwards, the girls of the Amethyst Mercenary Group did not retreat. Apart from the Young Master's Elite Group, they were the only ones who were unharmed. Considering how weak they were, this was nothing short of a miracle.
And then the wretched men of the big hunt are also there. These guys didn't suffer much damage in the forest battle, but the main loss was in Moonlight City.
In addition, there are two ordinary mercenary regiments, and they did not choose to leave at this time. Of course, the six members of the son's elite group were also present.
But the swords of the six mercenary groups didn't pay much attention to it, but looked at the seventh mercenary group with great satisfaction, and called out very emotionally: "Xiao Shang."
Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and is an artifact that supports offline reading. huanyuanapp.org
"Oh..." Yu Tian Shenming immediately made a painful expression of being poisoned.
"Don't call me so disgusting, call me by my full name Gu Xiaoshang!!" Gu Xiaoshang said angrily.
"Thank you for staying." Oathless Sword continued to be sensational. Even his own members in the guild couldn't bear it, Feng Xing coughed wildly at the side.
Besides these seven guilds, there were several other people who stood on the spot in great panic, but they were players from the Silver Moon Mercenary Group. At present they are the real leaders without a leader. Even if the leader of the other regiments is not at the scene, they are still on the channel, and the decisions are still made by the leader. As for them, although Yinyue is still famous, everyone has already ignored him, and no one will listen to him even if he has something to say. For a while, there are different opinions in the channel, and they haven't come up with an idea yet.
These few people still recognize the sword without oath, nodded to them and said: "I am afraid that the mercenary group of you can only be regarded as existent in name only, but as long as a few continue, I will still pay the remaining half of the amount at that time." For you guys."
"Give us five?" asked the five. There are a total of 40 people in the Silver Moon Mercenary Group. Originally, the money was shared by 40 people. If it was given to five people, it would be equivalent to raising the price.
Oathless Sword nodded: "Brothers who have just died, as long as they are willing to come and continue, you can share the money."
"Okay, okay!" The five readily agreed, but they didn't dare to hide the news, and relayed it to others in the channel. So there are those who are willing to come and those who are not, and this wave of people is settled like this.
Oathless Sword stared at the remaining mercenary groups, filled with emotion, and was about to say something when Qianli Drunk from the Young Master Elite Group suddenly came out, walking silently and firmly like those players who had left.
"My day!!!" Oathless Sword once again felt angry. He should have thought that this group of guys would definitely make trouble and quit at this critical moment.
Gu Fei, who didn't want to come out, said, "President No Vow, is there anything else? Hurry up and get off the assembly line."
"Ah? Offline?" Oathless Sword was stunned. He didn't expect Gu Fei to ask such a simple question. He didn't even realize what Gu Fei said. How could such a master say he wants to go offline at such a time
"That's right, it's getting late." Gu Fei nodded eagerly, confirming that he was a different kind.
"Oh, get off the assembly line, oh!" Oathless Sword quickly said as if waking up from a dream, "I still have to escort Todd to the dungeon for a while and put him in custody for a while. It's fine when it's over, so everyone hurry up!"
Everyone's expressions immediately became alert. Obviously, the people in the deep water will not simply give up the mission just because they are out of the forest. But among the towns, Cloud City players will no longer be afraid of each other. At present, there are still more than 600 people on our side, and there are many masters among them. If the water depth really wants to come to death, then everyone will fight to the death and the net will be broken.
With this indomitable momentum, the players in Cloud City have officially entered the Forest City.
Most of the houses and other buildings in the tree-lined city are made of wood, which makes his village aura more intense. In addition, there are busy players everywhere on the street, and they will also be curious and alert when a large group of strangers suddenly appear. This is no different from other major cities.
At this time, Brother Yu, who was good at observing and summarizing, quickly discovered a problem.
"Have you noticed?" Brother Yu said, "The player professions here are very unbalanced. Warrior, knight, priest, and fighter. How many of these four professions have you seen along the way?"
"It's really very few!" Everyone recalled.
"The streets are full of archers!" Everyone sighed.
"And it seems that most of them are lurkers." Brother Yu said, "Did the surrounding environment cause the abnormal development of careers in this main city? No wonder many people said that they had friends in this city before, but they all moved away... "
"Hey, friends in Cloud City, how are you?" Suddenly a voice came, and everyone turned their heads, only to see Shui Shen sitting cross-legged on the roof beside him with a smile, one hand hugging his knees, and the other was waving towards everyone.
