Destiny Thief

Chapter 76 Rumors and Gold Mine I
From early morning to morning, more and more people came to this hill.Soon, like a group of ants looking for food, the [Crypt Mine] was surrounded by people.Most of them are mercenaries, and there are also a few civilians.However, these civilians are only based on their own identities - in Afron, those who are resident and officially registered are considered civilians, while the others can probably be classified as foreign merchants or wandering mercenaries.

The local merchants in Afron, except for the nobles behind the scenes, are basically civilians—the same is true of the civilians surrounding the mine.After painstakingly pulling the pack horse and carriage into the forest, they couldn't help but feel unhappy seeing the mine cave being blocked by this group of mercenaries.

But they didn't make any radical expressions, they just gathered together in groups and began to discuss—the disadvantage of numbers and combat power made them cautious.

There are more than 30 civilians from two different chambers of commerce.On the other side, after the leaders of the mercenaries met, after a while of conspiratorial murmurs, they quickly reached a consensus. They each assigned their own people to enter the mine with torches in their hands, and the rest held swords and formed a circle. Circle, looking around vigilantly.

The sun shines through the forest, casting mottled traces.The wind blows from the distant sky, and the shadows of the trees are shaking.The pack horse leisurely nibbled on a few mouthfuls of weeds beside the road, and then snorted.

"Mr Lecter!"

A businessman among the civilians suddenly shouted in shock that he saw the lonely figure squatting by the roadside.At first he wasn't sure, but when he approached a certain distance intentionally or unintentionally, he saw the face of the mountain man clearly - although he didn't understand why Mr. Karthus's staff appeared here, he still affectionately Say hello.

The bandit leader was taken aback.

He spat out the grass stalk in his mouth, and turned his head to look for the person who made the sound—Bane!He rode his carriage to the caravan leader in Afron.The businessman seemed to have exchanged some identity information with him, although he didn't pay much attention to it at the time, the content was a bit vague.

"Is that you? Mr. Bain."

Glo managed to force a smile, and replied to the businessman—to be honest, in such a situation where conflicts may break out at any time, the bandit leader does not want to meet acquaintances.If something unexpected happens, getting involved is inevitable.

For example, the current conflict between the local merchants in Afron and the mercenary organization-maybe they live in peace on weekdays, but in the face of the tempting huge benefits, it is not impossible to tear their skin and blood. .

Glo got up and came to the carriages of the merchants. Beside Mr. Bain, there were a dozen fellows from the chamber of commerce, all of whom were ordinary and unremarkable young people with hoes and iron handles.It's just that the current scene made them a little nervous. Although it's not that they haven't been in contact with battles in the past, it's the first time for them to be on such a grand occasion.

These young men quietly looked at the bandit leader.He is acquainted with the leader of the caravan, Mr. Bain, and he seems to have a bit of identity, but it is difficult to evaluate these in terms of appearance and clothing-Glo is wearing a sackcloth that is very common among wandering mercenaries. Those mercenaries in front of the mine even looked a little shabby.

Except for the rapier—

Although it was only inserted into a rough leather scabbard, these young people faintly sensed that this weapon might not be simple.

An inexplicable but peaceful aura.

There was a hint of optimism in the hearts of the young people——Glo stared at the [Crypt and Mine], and more and more people walked into the wide crack.Thinking of the rumored gold mine, the merchants became anxious and anxious.

There are not many mercenaries standing guard in front of the mine.But Glo saw that the person who stayed there and exchanged a few words from time to time happened to be the brains among the mercenaries, including the rude and brutal middle-aged man with an appearance like a grizzly bear——

Cosmo, the leader of the Bloody Tusk Mercenary Group.

But Glo didn't know it.And the head of the group who came from an underground force had never met the bandit leader.If he knew that the guy he hated and missed happened to be around him, maybe he would have forgotten about the gold mine and ran to fight desperately with a knife.

Unfortunately, there is no if.

During this anxious time, some more people appeared in the forest.Some idlers in the city and a group of villagers with close blood ties in nearby villages. These people saw the mercenaries guarding in front of the mine, and then looked at the businessmen who were eyeing tigers.

The enemy of the enemy is the friend.

The sober-minded among these people quickly analyzed the situation, and then stated some vague and illogical content to the businessman—they might only be short in terms of speech, but because of the gold mine rumors And the fanatical farmer is definitely a giant in action.

Glo opened his mouth wide, and Bain beside him, a young member of the chamber of commerce, and a group of civilians belonging to another chamber of commerce were also stunned for a moment.

Soon, these family-based farmers screamed, raised their hoes and iron handles, and rushed towards the mine with their feet spread.They also shouted the neat voice with a strong local Afron accent—Glo vaguely understood the meaning, "Elanter! For immortal glory, charge!"

This seems to be the charge slogan of the Knights of the Kingdom!

Glo still has some impressions of his experience in the game.In the background story of the opening server of the game, the soldiers, nobles and some civilians who have experienced the sixth Eta War also know the password of this knight when launching an attack, but appearing here is somewhat incongruous—— Several young people around him slapped their thighs and laughed at each other, some of them even burst into tears.

However, correspondingly, those mercenary-minded figures guarding in front of the mine on the opposite side couldn't laugh.

Hundreds of mud-legged men rushing towards them showed ferocious faces, showing their determination to fight for the gold mine.Although the incumbents of the combat profession are far more powerful than ordinary people, the hoes and iron pickets are still hard to beat, and the few brains looked at each other, and then ran away——

They all turned around and went into the [Underground Mine]!
The farmers guarding the gap at the entrance of the crypt cannot take advantage of their numbers—with the strength of a few incumbents, the entire secondary map of the [Crypt Mine], if there are no powerful people to break through the blockade, this place will It can be said that the gold mine was completely occupied by these mercenaries.

Others are not reconciled!

The farmers formed a black pile in front of the mine, and soon, a few young and strong guys stood up spontaneously to form a vanguard team.It has to be said that the sturdy folk customs of the Northland have been deeply reflected here. The combat effectiveness of the farmers who have experienced strict militia training cannot be underestimated. Shouting, swarming in.
