Grandmaster Hunter of Age of Mythology

Chapter 39: Hiding the Truth - The Association's Secret Passage

An ordinary mercenary would be very satisfied to get more than ten gold coins for a meal. This mission has become very dangerous and is not as simple as just being an assistant, so he is willing to cooperate and be watched over by the association for a few days.

The six of them continued to eat, and the association's top management arranged their respective tasks according to their individual circumstances...

"Mr. Nick's methods have been tried and tested, and they are the real deal. You will protect our employer closely. Our employer is no weakling, but a knight-level assassin. Ordinary people cannot hurt her. The old man will stay by her side to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

"Okay, if the employer can protect himself, my task will be easier. Girl, people from the countryside don't know etiquette, please forgive me."

"I, the humble girl Tan Aili, am paying my respects to the senior. My life depends entirely on your protection!"

"Kashen, you have a Warcraft mount, and you are responsible for exploring the way and giving early warnings. You need to scout the way for the team along the way. This time you are only allowed to walk through the mountains and forests, hiding during the day and moving out at night. You will receive a map later, and you must not slack off and you must not retreat in the face of battle!"

"Yes, sir!".

"Light Infantryman Du Sen and Ranger Malone are in charge of the battle. Both of you are experienced in combat, and the entire team depends on you to fight in the front."

"Yes, sir!".

"Light cavalry Dickens, responsible for carrying supplies for the team and looking after the wolves that transport the goods."

"Yes, sir!".

"Von Cassi was born with supernatural powers and has learned a wide range of knowledge. He is good at cooking, bandaging wounds, and using heavy weapons in infantry combat. This time, he held a shield to protect his teammates and carried the luggage for his employer..."

"Yes, sir!".

"Very good, the team is put together temporarily, and we must unite and help each other to overcome the difficulties. The commander of the team is Feng Kasi. You are the slowest in action, so you will serve as the commander in this battle. I believe you can complete the mission and send your employer to Shadowmoon City safely."

"My humble lady greets all the warriors. Thank you for your kind gift. I'll leave the rest of my journey to you!"

The association’s senior management said: “All mounts and personal equipment will be moved here. We will set off later. If you are not full yet, you can continue eating.”

Kashin and Grandpa Nick returned to the hall. Their two mounts had just been fed and were lying lazily with their eyes closed to rest.

"Grandpa, we put on our equipment and our personal belongings are basically packed in the space, which is very easy."

"That's exactly what I meant. Thank you, young lady, for the treasure. Now we can cross mountains and rivers without having to carry the packages on our backs..."

Kashen wore grey cloth armor, a sleeveless cloak, a shaping belt, two two-handed axes stuck on both sides of his waist, boxing gloves hung in front of the waist, a fine steel infantry knife slung across his body, and then fixed the mage's marching bag on his back, covering it perfectly with the cloak.

There are several magic arrays arranged in the direction of the wristband. Using mental power to activate the cooling magic array will instantly cool you down. Guiding mental power to be injected into the cloth armor can provide energy to control the temperature.

There is no need to take out the heavy bow, and try not to use it if it is not necessary. Kashen wants to keep the sharpshooter talent hidden forever.

Grandpa Nick was also fully equipped and looked energetic. The equipment of both of them was top-notch, and the other four knights immediately looked at them with envy.

The two of them led their mounts back to the basement first, and the masked girl's eyes lit up. Looking at the two people's attire, it was very valuable, and it seemed that they had some skills. Could that silver-white mount be the so-called magic beast? Not only was it very valuable, but it could only be tamed by magicians.

"Kashin, where are your equipment and supplies?"

"With just these on my body, if I have to walk on a mountain road, how can I, a hunter, starve to death without any supplies?"

The old man smiled and said: "Ah! Clean water, even a jar of wine, your favorite food, personal belongings, etc."

Kashin didn't want to say that his backpack was a magic item, and said with a smile: "They brought it, right? I'm a pathfinder, and the fewer items I carry with me, the better. When on a mission, I can't eat any food with a strong smell, so supply is relatively simple!"

"Okay, the association has prepared supplies for the team anyway, so you don't need any. Here's the marching diagram, I drew it for you."

Kashin took it respectfully and took a look at it. In order to bypass the post road and choose a detour that was rarely traveled, he had to cross at least a few more mountains. This was not a big deal. As long as he could avoid fighting and the business was safe, it would not hurt to walk a few more days.

Dusen's mount was carrying two bags, with a crossbow hanging above the saddle. He himself was wearing leather armor, with a longsword hanging from his waist, and several weapons hanging from his mount, so he was well prepared...

After everyone was gathered, they were reorganized again. Since the four wolves were responsible for transporting the goods, the unnecessary items were handed over to Dickens, and they began to repack their luggage.

Captain Feng Kasi arrived late, leading four wolves. One was his employer's new mount, and the other was specifically responsible for transporting her luggage, which was looked after by Feng Kasi.

His weapons, heavy hammer, heavy shield, and two luggage bags were carried by a strong wolf. Heavy armor could not be used in this battle, so it was a lot easier.

Fighting is very hard. In such hot weather, wearing heavy armor is very painful. This kind of knight training is very hard until you get used to it...

It was just past ten o'clock when everything was ready. The senior elder of the association said with a smile: "Everyone, put on your hoods and leave through the secret passage. Our employer has been targeted and will be followed as soon as he goes out. This secret passage is top secret of the association. You are not members of the organization and are not allowed to pry into the privacy of the secret passage. So I'm sorry, everyone, put on your hoods and follow the instructions..."

The Mercenary Association has something. With this, there is a high probability that we can throw off the other party's eyes and leave without being noticed, which will make the employer safer.

After walking for a while, they entered a rugged road, which meant they had entered the so-called secret passage.

People are naturally curious, and they did not blindfold the wolves, so by sharing vision with the silver wolves, they could see the secret passage clearly.

This secret passage seemed to be rarely used, and everyone moved forward cautiously, taking every step with extreme caution. After walking about a hundred steps, a pungent musty smell hit them, making them feel uncomfortable. There was also some stagnant water on the ground, making the already narrow passage muddy and extremely difficult to walk through.

Everyone was strictly forbidden to talk, and the entire team maintained absolute silence. They walked in silence for more than an hour. No matter how they estimated the distance they had traveled, they were very likely to have successfully left the city without realizing it.

When they finally emerged from the hidden hole, the staff behind them quickly covered the heavy iron plate and quickly filled it with soil. Afterwards, they piled a large pile of stones on top to ensure that this secret exit would not be easily discovered.

At this time, Kashen, relying on his familiarity with the surrounding environment and keen observation, recognized at a glance that the direction in front of him was the road leading to the Magic Academy. However, now was not the time to relax their vigilance, and they still could not take off the hoods on their heads. Then, everyone got on their mounts and continued to circle north for more than half an hour, finally arriving at the west of the city of Delburg. Next, as long as they walked northwest along this forest, they would reach their destination.

Until this moment, the hood was allowed to be removed. Due to the careful arrangements and confidentiality measures before, almost no one knew where the mysterious entrance was.

"Well, fellow brave warriors, please march westward! We are looking forward to your victorious return to avenge our past humiliation! Anyone who dares to plot against the Mercenary Association will be severely punished..." The voice of the commander echoed in the air, inspiring every warrior who was about to embark on the journey.
