Chapter 175
Anfey, Suzanna and a few others had quietly left Moramatch before the dawn, while Christian led the rest of the legion into the underground tunnels . The experiences in the magic world had made Anfey realize how hard it could be just to survive . Almost everyone in the legion, and every legion, had to experience difficulties as they grew . In addition to their experiences after the Sacred City, they had encountered many difficulties since they came to the Country of Mercenaries . Of course, there were legions that made their names quickly with their supreme battle powers, which was also because they had perfect timing . Most people had to stumble through the difficulties .
Anfey’s legion had the best people among all of the mercenary groups . In addition to Anfey and Suzanna, Riska and Christian were junior magisters . They carried six senior magic scrolls in case of any danger . That meant they could become senior magisters or even archmages in a very short time with the release of magic scrolls . Black Eleven had lived in the Country of Mercenaries for a long time, so he was familiar with everything in the Country of Mercenaries . He could report to the spies in other departments to ask for help if they were in any danger .
Anfey did not ask too much from them, but their jobs were not easy either . They needed to fight and flee as needed . These few people met Anfey’s requirements .
Anfey and his small group of companions travelled 50 miles while it was still dark . They did not stop walking until the sun sent shimmering rays . They were already deep in the Hengduan Valley, where different mercenary groups came often . They decided to take a break in case they ran into other mercenary groups .
Black Eleven took out the bread he brought with him and passed it around to everyone . The bread was so dry that it was far from being delicious . Luckily Anfey and his group were tough people . They took the breads and ate them quickly .
"Anfey, what is your plan?" Black Eleven said in a low voice .
"We will travel to the west to look for Shansa Empire’s army . We will see what happens when we find them," Anfey said .
"If that union of mercenary groups found out no one is in Moramatch, would they want to do something to the underground tunnels?" Riska asked .
"I don’t think so," Black Eleven spoke for Anfey . "The news that Shansa Empire has retreated is out . How much stuff can they confiscate from us? How much supplies does Shansa Empire’s military have? If they decide to rob only once, they would rob Shansa Empire’s military, since it should be enough for their whole lives . "
"They have thirty thousand elite soldiers . Unless all the mercenary groups in the Country of Mercenaries unite together, they are just asking to be killed" Riska said .
"Shansa Empire asked the main force of thirty thousand soldiers to withdraw for a reason . Shansa Empire wanted those thirty thousand soldiers to ensure the safety of Hengduan Valley . It means that those thirty thousand soldiers would not always stick together all the time, which would give mercenaries an opportunity to make a surprise attack on them," Black Eleven said .
"Someone is coming . " Anfey suddenly stopped their conversation . A few birds flew out of the trees at the foot of the hill . They flew a good distance away without any thought of staying .
Anfey waved his hand . Suzanna and the others jumped into the trees and hid themselves in the tree crowns to quietly watch their surroundings .
Before long, two people stumbled outside the forest . They had to pass a grassland no matter whether they wanted to walk along the valley floor or climb up on the hill . The two people hesitated for a second . Obviously, they did not want to walk over that grassland . One of them suddenly screamed in pain and fell on the ground, while the other one rushed forward without even thinking about which route to choose or looking after his companion .
He was only able to run a dozen steps before a black ball-like object flew out of the forest and hit the guy right on the back . A mage in a black gown slowly walked out of the forest as the guy was falling on the ground . Anfey and his companions could not see the mage’s face, since his head was fully covered by the black hood . The mage tucked his hands into his sleeves . From a distance, he looked like a black phantom .
The mage looked like he was afraid of sunlight . He raised his arm to cover his face with the sleeves . He slowly walked to the guy who had fallen on the grass . He did a rough search of the guy and hurriedly retreated to the forest .
Homicide usually happened and ended very quickly . Before Anfey could decide whether he should help, everything went back to normal .
"He looked like a necromancer," Black Eleven said quietly .
"I think so too," Riska added .
Everyone laid their eyes on Anfey . Necromancers were hated by everyone . When educated people saw something like this happen, their first reaction would be to chase after the necromancer and kill him . Anfey was the leader of the legion, so they had to listen to Anfey’s instruction before they could take action .
"Black Eleven, which mercenary group has necromancers?" Anfey asked quietly .
"No mercenary group would like to take a necromancer into their legion," Black Eleven said, shaking his head .
"He must not be a mercenary, right?" Anfey asked .
