Grandmaster Hunter of Age of Mythology

The old man spoke eloquently, explaining the importance of this mission...

"You two, this is a death mission. You can name a price and it cannot be refused. Reputation is the interest that every mercenary is willing to protect at all costs. If we fail, the entire mercenary association will be disgraced. How can we accept the request of our distinguished guests?"

Grandpa Nick coughed dryly and said, "I understand. I want to ask, how many merit points can be given for completing a mission?"

The old man laughed: "You can drive, as long as it's not outrageous, I can make the decision!"

"Two hundred merit points, a book on intermediate mercenary breathing techniques, and twenty thousand gold coins. It shouldn't be too much to call it an SSS level reward!"

The old man frowned and calculated, this cost is too high, it depends on whether Kashen Mercenary is worth the price? Two hundred merits, all are A-level tasks, or merits are obtained after a long period of time. Intermediate breathing method is not a valuable item, and twenty thousand gold coins are nothing. These two hundred merits are a bit expensive...

He took out Kashen's resume and read it again, then gritted his teeth and agreed. After all, that monster was as powerful as a junior knight.

Grandpa Nick: "Just agree to it. I will also register as a mercenary and get the same treatment as my grandson. I will fight with my grandson. Don't question the old man's ability. You can test it and then make a decision."

"Oh, old man, you also want to join? Well, as long as you pass the evaluation, you two will be treated the same."

"Grandpa, forget it. Let's hire a carriage and go to the capital to wait for our grandson. It's time for you to enjoy your retirement. The weather is so hot and humid. Why should you suffer this? I am young and not afraid of hardship..."

"You little brat, you're going to the capital city anyway and getting double the profit, why don't you give it a try? Don't you want to build a training ground? That will require more gold coins."

Grandpa Nick went with the senior elders of the Mercenary Association to take the test. He chose the advanced mercenary breathing method. At this moment, the elders would accept any expert and would restore his reputation at any cost.

As always, he was a solid A-class mercenary, no longer a top mercenary under merit conditions, because as always, he needed advanced breathing techniques.

After practicing another fight, the association will send out a knight-level shield warrior. If you win, it will be no problem to reward you with advanced breathing techniques.

The two sides will duel in an internal arena, not an open competition, and winning or losing will not affect the reputation of either side.

The shield warrior was about the same height as Kashin, with a more solid build, and was not wearing armor, which also gave the old man a chance to win. He was less than 30 years old, young and strong, and it seemed that there was a huge gap in strength between them.

Grandpa Nick put on Kashin's stainless steel boxing gloves and said with a smile: "Let's start! It's been a long time since I last competed with a master. Please be more gentle with me."

The warrior wearing heavy armor and holding a huge shield looked at the old man in front of him with a firm gaze, and said in a sincere and respectful tone: "The old hero is really admirable! Please rest assured, I will show mercy in today's competition. This will only be a friendly exchange." After that, he solemnly bowed deeply to the old man, then tightly grasped the heavy and solid shield in his hand, and rushed towards the old man like a ferocious beast.

Facing the aggressive enemy, the old man seemed unusually calm and composed. He was as agile as an agile monkey, deftly moving around not far from the sturdy warrior, dodging the opponent's fierce attacks with extremely precise movements, and constantly inducing the opponent to attack. At the same time, the old man always controlled the distance between himself and the opponent just right - the subtle distance of only about an inch allowed him to stay alert at all times to deal with possible dangers, while not leaving any opportunities for the opponent to take advantage of.

This warrior holding a shield is obviously not an ordinary person. His shield-using skills are extremely high. Not only is his defense tight and flawless, but his attack is also amazing and unstoppable. Even the old man with many years of combat experience was thinking to himself: If I want to break through such a watertight defense and successfully hit the opponent by conventional means, it may not be easy... After more than ten rounds of fighting, neither side was able to hurt the other at all.

Just as the warrior used his shield attack skill and the old man dodged sideways, the warrior was about to retract his shield when the old man hit the center of the shield with a heavy punch...

There was a loud bang

The warrior was suddenly hit hard by the shield and retreated more than ten steps. In a flash, when the shield-holding warrior retreated, his center of gravity was out of control. The old man followed up with another punch, and the warrior was shocked and had to fall to the ground and roll to escape the attack of the punch...

The old man is very experienced and of course he would not use the method of leaning over to chase to secure the victory, because this would also leave the opponent with a bigger attack loophole, which would not be worth the loss.

The outcome is unpredictable so he would rather fight slowly to defeat his opponent. At his age, he doesn't have a strong desire to win.

The old man got into position, waiting with a smile for the tumbling shield warrior to get up, and then calmly adjusted his posture to continue fighting. The warrior was now in a state of confusion and was a little flustered.

Kashin, who was watching the fight nearby, shouted, "There's no need to compete anymore. The shield warrior has lost. His moves have been broken, and his shield attack has a flaw. If he uses the same move again next time, he will definitely lose."

The old man who was watching the fight was also an expert in fighting. He knew that what the young man said was true. Even if he only relied on fighting in a mobile manner, the shield warrior would be exhausted. He had no way to control the old man and had already lost in terms of overall combat power.

It was a great deal for the old man to join the guard. Although he was old, his fighting ability was not weakened. If he were 20 years younger, he would be the strongest warrior that the Mercenary Association could recruit.

In less than five moves, the warrior's shield was knocked away by the old man and he announced his surrender.

When the warrior used [Shield Return], Grandpa Nick took advantage of the situation and attacked him with both fists before he could exert his strength. The warrior's power was suppressed, but the power still burst out to form a confrontation.

So his right hand was instantly numbed by the force, and his shield lost control and was thrown more than ten meters away, shaking the wall. The old man did not pursue the warrior, so there was no damage...

"Thank you, old hero, for showing mercy. Your steps are exquisite and worthy of careful study by this junior. My shield technique is too unfamiliar and full of loopholes. I am ashamed..."

"That's right, you are born with supernatural powers, which makes me very envious. In time, you will surely be the bravest among the three armies. I, an old man, am on the decline, and how can I compare to you, the rising sun!"

The two ended their competition in an amicable manner, and the old man smiled and said, "Welcome old hero to join the guard team. All your conditions are met."

"That's good. We'll go back and rest first. Please notify us in time when you are ready to leave."

Completing this task once is equivalent to the income of five years of work. After five months of training, successfully assisting the employer to break through the knight realm is only worth thirty merit points.

Therefore, 200 merit points are very precious. If you accumulate more, you can exchange them for other mercenary secret books. Try the quality of the secret books. As long as they are mid-range, they will also be helpful to Kashin's cultivation.

This escort mission is too lucrative, so the grandfather and grandson are willing to take on the task. The heartbeat of adventure is still a fascinating feeling...
