Mercenaries and Adventurers

Kiel let the long-haired lynx orcs follow him as a team before asking what bonus metal was.

"Momo, want, metal. Tall, dense, bushes, no, metal. Enemy, skin, hairy, thick. Momo, want, metal. So, Momo, join, strong, human. Reward, metal!"

Kiel had a headache hearing this passage, but he barely understood the general meaning.

"The beasts in the forest have thick hair, so you need metal to fight them, right? However, to reward metal, you have to give credit to me. There is no way to get rewards if you join. Doesn't it make sense?"

Kiel's words made the long-haired lynx orcs who followed the horses very frustrated, and their tails dragged on the ground. Keel noticed that among the ten or so long-haired lynx orcs present, two of them were walking in the center, carrying two small leather backpacks. There seemed to be something heavy inside, bending the bodies of the two long-haired lynx orcs who were carrying primitive backpacks.

I don't know what is installed.

But as soon as Kiel thought about it, he guessed that it might be some metal materials they obtained in human society these days.

The leading long-haired lynx orc followed Kiel's horse on the right, trying his best to look up at the Kiel knight. Its eyes were shining brightly reflected by the torches on the horse's back, and indeed at first glance it looked like two floating in the air. a mysterious highlight.

"Fluffy, deceived. Give, weak, human, labor, no, reward. So, first, reward, fluffy, metal. Fluffy, give, strong, human, labor. Fight, fight! Fight!"

At the end, it jumped up excitedly, shouting the battle in the common language of human beings with a shrill cry, and the long-haired lynx orcs following behind them also shouted.

As soon as Kiel patted his steel mask, he was quite speechless, thinking that in his small dream camp, there were still some rags left over from his previous adventures, so he should reward them first.

"Okay, okay, I will reward you with metal later. Mao Mao, hey, I didn't expect you to call yourself that. It's quite interesting."

Keir shook his head, then raised his head and shouted to more than 20 armed people beside the fence ahead: "Relax, I'm back, haha, and I brought a new batch of 'kids' to our team."

What Knight Kiel said made everyone behind the fence confused. What is a 'child'?

Due to the limited range of illumination of the torch on Kilma's back, and the fact that the long-haired lynx orcs are really small, they are slightly shorter than the crops in the field, and the mottled fur with excellent camouflage ability, it is not to blame for Kilma. Er's men did not see the Momos returning with Keir.

However, when Keir rode close to the fence, the more torches in everyone's hands illuminated the long-haired lynx orc who was struggling to pull apart the crops to show his figure.

"Strange, monster!"

Someone screamed.

"Master Knight, there is something strange at your feet!"

The frightened people immediately waved their torches forward, causing the long-haired lynx orcs to squint their eyes in fright and lay down.

"Stop it all! These are the new friends I just mentioned. Of course, they are a little smaller, but they are not monsters. Calm down everyone, step back a little, get out of the way of the fence, I'm going to pass."

Some people still listened to Kiel's words. Although everyone had doubts about these hairy 'little monsters', Lord Knight said that they were new friends, and they were not monsters. They still obediently stepped back a little. .

Kiel pulled the reins and tapped the horse's belly, the blood licking grass naturally understood, jumped forward on the spot, and jumped over the one-meter-high wooden fence.

The long-haired lynx orcs behind him also wanted to follow the 'mighty human', so they gathered cautiously and approached the fence.

Unexpectedly, even children could not get through the wooden fence. These long-haired lynx orcs just simply turned their bodies sideways, and directly drilled through the gap in the fence that was slightly bigger than a fist.

They don't exist as wooden fences.

The two guys carrying primitive animal skin backpacks were in some trouble and had to climb over the fence to join their companions.

When they came to the open space, surrounded by fire, the armed people took a closer look at what their new friend looked like.

"this…"

A person didn't know how to describe it, and froze as soon as he opened his mouth.

"What is this, aren't these guys just erect cats, my lord? Are they really not monsters? Like being turned into this by an evil magician?"

Another armed citizen spoke in doubt.

Kiel lifted the steel mask and scolded with a smile: "You have a rich imagination, and you are an evil magician. These are not monsters, they are aliens, they can talk, and they are civilized. It is said that they live in the remote mountain forests of your southern province. The alien race in the world, called the long-haired lynx orcs, was discovered decades ago."

After jumping off the horse, Keel patted Bloodweed's butt, letting it go back on its own.

Putting the all-metal double-edged spear in his hand on the ground, Keir pointed to the long-haired lynx orcs near him and said: "They call themselves Mao Mao, they can understand our human language, and one of them can speak our language. Come and say hello to everyone."

The long-haired lynx orcs were surrounded by dozens of humans with swords in their hands. They were a little nervous, but more excited. The one in the lead jumped up and said, "Metal! Metal! A lot, metal! Humans, rich , Reward, Maomao, now."

Seeing the astonishment of the people around him, Kiel found it funny, just in time, Priest Batar and Bloodyaster, who heard the news, brought people over.

So, Keel introduced the ten or so long-haired lynx orcs to the newcomers.

Priest Batar was thoughtful, he glanced at Kiel, and the two nodded in tacit understanding.

Xueyasite said proudly to the people around him: "I know them. I heard they are quite powerful in the gambling arena in the town. I didn't expect that they would come to join us. Keel, how do you plan to arrange them?"

Kieran said: "As alien races in the mountains, they will help find the villagers of Changmai Village in the future operations. And these alien races joined us as mercenaries, haha, they only need some metal as compensation, which is pretty cool." Cheap. Arranged living place, just live near my tent."

Speaking of this, what did Keir think of? He turned to the long-haired lynx orcs and said, "By the way, what do your living conditions look like? Tree houses or haystacks?"

Unexpectedly, the other party's answer was unexpected: "Maomao, dwelling, cave, or, huge, rock, gap! Here, flat land, no, cave."

Then the long-haired lynx orc in the lead said with a straight chest: "So, please, Mao Mao, wood, box. Mao Mao, live in, box, inside! Box, there is a lid!"

"Is it a box?" Keel turned his head and shouted with a strange expression on his face, "Mr. Barford? Mr. Barford?"

The middle-aged businessman, Mr. Long Barford, who was in charge of the team's material allocation, immediately walked out from the crowd of onlookers: "Master Knight, what are your orders?"

Kiel pointed at the long-haired lynx orcs, considered their size and said, "For our new friends, prepare five empty wooden boxes with lids. Just put them near my camp. That's where they are. Their 'tent'."

"Okay, I'm ready now."

After finishing speaking, Mr. Barford immediately ordered a few spectators, and went to clear the boxes.

"Priest Batar, although it's midnight, I would like to trouble you for a moment. Tell all the people in the team about these alien long-haired lynx orcs, so as not to cause trouble tomorrow morning."

"Okay, Kiel Warrior."

The priest nodded, looked at the long-haired lynx orc who looked like an upright cat for a while, and pulled Bloodfangs to walk towards the crowd.

In the end, Keir shouted to the armed people around him and the people watching from a little distance away: "Okay, let's do whatever we want, those who are going to sleep, go to sleep and rest; those who are going to patrol, go to patrol .”

Then Kiel returned to his camp with these little followers behind him.

He first arranged the aliens by a campfire under the surprised eyes of the armed people guarding the camp, and then returned to his tent and escaped into the lady's dream.

Picking and choosing, after removing his armor, he selected four lightweight iron daggers from a pile of scraps of weapons left over from his adventures.

After returning to the real world, Keir walked out of the tent and came to the long-haired lynx orc who was lying comfortably by the campfire and said, "Here, here are the metal rewards for you to join the team, four iron daggers."

Kiel put the four iron daggers in his hand on the ground, and pushed them with his hand.

The eyes of the Mao Maos were bright, and without waiting for the command of the long-haired lynx orc, the four Mao Maos who were in charge of close combat immediately got up and rushed towards the reward given to them with short legs.

The iron dagger that a normal human can only use for food and simple self-defense is held in the arm of a long-haired bobcat orc less than one meter tall, just like holding a long sword.

The fly in the ointment is that the handle of the dagger is suitable for human hands, but it is too big and thick for the long-haired lynx orcs, and it cannot be used directly.

"Oh, you can try removing the non-slip **** the handle of the dagger, and just hold the handle of the dagger itself."

Without Kiel's extra explanation, as the long-haired bobcat orcs in charge of close combat, they naturally knew what to do. In front of Kiel, they used their sharp little claws to untie the tightly wrapped dagger handle belt, and then They held the daggers that had been thinned several times in both hands, imitating the way humans wield long swords, and swung them whirringly.

And the removed belt was not wasted. The other four Mao Mao, who were in charge of long-range attacks, picked up the belt and made a gesture, then wrapped it around their waist, and tied a knot at the front end, and it became a belt suitable for their body size.

"You can do it if you think so." Kiel shrugged and squatted down.

He said to Zhengmei's leading long-haired bobcat orc: "Since I have done what I promised you, you have officially joined my team."

"Strong, human, and Mao Mao, sure, victorious, enemy."

"Ah, yes, yes, but I still have to make some things clear in advance. First of all, if my people don't take the initiative to hurt you, you can't hurt any human in the team. Including those women who don't have weapons in their hands, they are also my team You can’t hurt them, not anyone. Of course, whoever hurts you, you have the right to fight back, I’m not a big humanist.”

"Maomao, no, attack, no, enemy, human. Maomao, yes, protection, okay, Maomao."

Keir pursed his lips, thought for a while, and finally understood the other party's answer from each word.

"As long as you know."

"Secondly, you like metal, and the tribe probably needs metal. Although my team is not as rich as Dorne Town, there are also a lot of metal in the team." He stared at the other party's eyes and said solemnly.

"The metal objects in the ranks either belong to me personally or belong to the people of the ranks. I don't want to hear Mr. Barford report to me that there is a loss of metal materials in the ranks. Understood What? My team does not welcome foreign thieves with dirty hands and feet!"

"Momo, no, thief! Momo, as long as, reward, metal!"

The leading long-haired bobcat orc groaned for a while, and the other Mao Maos also meowed aggrievedly, and jumped up emotionally.

Unlike the small jumps before, with the addition of tails under the excitement, they jumped two meters high, far more than twice their own body height, very powerful.

"Okay okay, Mao Mao is not a thief, not a thief. I just said that I don't want to see such a situation."

Kiel felt that he was communicating with children. These long-haired lynx orcs had a bit of heart, but not too much. No wonder they heard that they were fooled by several waves of humans before.

"In this way, if you do things for me, I will reward you. At the same time, every few days, I will reward you with metal as a reward for hiring you. The former requires you to complete the tasks I assign, and then I will reward you. And the latter will reward you in advance before a certain period of time to hire you, as a reward for hiring you, just like today, how about it?"

"Okay, Mao Mao, I like it, metal. Hurry up, arrange, task, Mao Mao, complete, reward, metal!"

Keir smiled: "There is no task tonight. If there is a task, I will take the initiative to call you."

At this time, Mr. Barford took several people and brought in five empty wooden boxes, the kind with a box cover.

"My lord, I got something, just put it on the ground casually, or what?"

Keir didn't answer. He looked at the leader of the long-haired lynx orc, and pointed to the empty box in his hand: "So, how do the fluffy ones rest?"

"Close to the fire! Close to the fire! Warm! Comfortable! Hurrah!"

The one in the lead jumped slightly, happily answering Keel.

Keir shrugged and said to Mr. Barfoot and several other people who were curious to observe the alien race: "Did you hear that? Just open the box and put it near the campfire. They are alien races and will take care of themselves."

"It's my lord."

The curious people carefully placed the empty box in their hands at a suitable distance from the campfire, then opened the box cover, and opened the box cover at a staggered angle.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they finished, the long-haired lynx orcs, one after another, couldn't hold back, and slid along the opening of the box lid, and got into the wooden box.

Then, a head with a long beard poked out from the gap, purring in satisfaction.

The people watching were amazed and wanted to touch it, but they dared not.

"Better not to."

Keir stopped the actions of his subordinates: "Long-haired lynx orcs are not well-behaved and harmless pets. Look at the thing in their hands, that is the metal weapon I just rewarded them. Believe me, the fighting power of these little guys is far beyond Much stronger than you imagine."

Keir turned his head left and right: "In the camp team, it is estimated that the people who can beat one of them one-on-one can be counted on one hand."

"Is it so exaggerated?" The crowd complained in a low voice.

Keir chuckled: "Trust me, you will understand later."

Standing up and standing up straight, Keel finally asked the leading long-haired lynx orc: "You guys should rest here tonight. By the way, before I leave, I want to know you who can speak the common language of mankind, you What's your name?"

The long-haired lynx orc in the lead didn't get into the empty wooden box as eagerly as his subordinates, although it was obvious that it was enduring that impulse again.

"Maomao, mine, name, yes, many. Humans, want, know, which one?"

Kiel crossed his arms and said, "It's simpler. The name is just a title. People like me usually call me Lord Knight, or simply just an adult. My companions and friends will call me Kiel, one of the warriors of Kiel." Kind of. Close elders will call me Joe, the name is just a title."

The long-haired lynx orc in the lead thought for a while, pointed at himself with a small finger and said, "Then, my name, human being, language, yes, courage. Courage, Maomao."

"Courage? So, you are a brave fluffy?"

Keel rubbed his chin with his fingers.

Courageous Maomao nodded, puffed out his chest, looking very brave.

That's right, dare to take a small number of companions, just leave their hometown, go to a strange and dangerous human society to take risks, and obtain the metals that the tribe lacks. Sure enough, a brave Mao Mao.

Keir nodded ~www.readwn.com~ and asked, "What about the others? What do you call them?"

As the leader, Courageous Mao Mao pointed to the Mao Maos with their heads sticking out of the wooden box next to them with his long tail and said, "This, blue eyes."

This long-haired lynx orc blinked, and sure enough, the big eyes were blue, which was quite different.

"This, short beard."

Kiel looked over, and sure enough, its beard was a bit shorter than other furs. It was not known whether it was born short, or it was short by itself.

"Here, short legs."

This one is the funniest, it sticks its head out of the box like the other one, but because of its short legs, it is shorter than its companions.

"Here, Dapple."

This is the long-haired lynx orc who jumped at Kiel before and was caught dangling by Kiel. At this moment, Kiel looked over, and it was still baring its teeth at Kiel, but a tooth was broken in its mouth, making its baring teeth no deterrent.

Kind of funny.

"Here, long ears."

This long-haired lynx orc has long hairs on its ears, and it looks longer than others.

"This, Talon!"

This Mao Mao is the tallest and strongest, and seems to be the leader among the Mao Mao who is in charge of close combat. Of course, on the whole, their small team still has to listen to Courageous Mao Mao's command.

"Here, fast legs."

It is estimated that this guy's short legs are naturally fast.

"This, this, singing, and muttering."

These are the two Maomao responsible for carrying things that did not appear in the gambling arena before, and their names are quite different.

Kiel nodded: "In this way, I know everyone. Then, I am Joe Kiel, an ordinary human knight."
