Colleagues are enemies, and the relationship between the three major mercenary groups in Huey Ores City has always been very tense.
The Blood Thorn Mercenary Group and the Wild Wolf Fox Mercenary Group are both veteran mercenary groups with nearly a hundred years of heritage. They have been fighting openly and secretly before the rise of the Blue Enchantress.
The rapid rise of the Blue Fairy Mercenary Group has forced them to take a share of the market share occupied by the two companies. At the same time, it has blocked the way of the two companies. Naturally, there will be no less friction between them. Most of the methods of resolving friction between mercenaries rely directly on force, and they rarely sit down and negotiate calmly, because compromise is often regarded as a sign of weakness.
When Kristi activated his fighting spirit, Tony, Angus and several mercenaries also made preparations for battle.
Other mercenaries who were close to these two groups of people in the bar hid aside to avoid being affected by Chi You. But no one left, they all waited with their arms around their shoulders and glasses of wine to watch the excitement.
Even the owner of the bar, Nightingale, had no intention of interfering. He just watched the excitement behind the bar with his chin drawn.
It's common for mercenaries with excess male hormones to get into bar fights after drinking too much. As long as they don't use their weapons and no lives are lost, Nightingale doesn't care at all. Anyway, the broken things have to be compensated according to the price. No mercenary dared to take advantage of Nightingale. As long as her suitors were still alive, they were almost the leaders of various mercenary groups.
On the verge of Kristi's anger breaking out, the door of the bar was pushed open again.
"Sister Nightingale, why is your place so busy today?" Adeline walked in wearing a gorgeous magician's cloak.
A smile immediately appeared on Nightingale's face. They were also female mercenaries. Nightingale and Adeline had a very good personal relationship.
"You came just in time. Tony, the little bastard, drank some wine and had a bit of a verbal conflict with Deputy Captain Kristi."
Nightingale's scolding Tony was actually giving Kristi a step-down, hoping to take the opportunity to resolve the fight.
"What a coincidence, Deputy Captain Kristi is also here. Let me treat the brothers of 'Stab Blood' to a drink!" Adeline smiled softly.
Emperor Cuisi had to suppress his fighting spirit. No one could underestimate the powerful fighting power of an intermediate magician. What's more important is that with the addition of Adeline, our side may not be the opponent of the Blue Enchantress mercenaries.
"We appreciate Deputy Captain Adeline's kindness. We still have money for a few glasses of wine." Kristi snorted coldly and led people directly to a table next to him.
A fight ended because of Adeline's unexpected appearance.
"Who is this little guy? Your new magic apprentice?" Nightingale suddenly noticed that there was a little boy following Adeline.
At this time, Arthur was wearing a short cyan warrior uniform and a pair of brown soft-soled cowhide boots. His long black hair was tied neatly behind his head with a cyan hairband, revealing a clean face with brows and eyebrows. There was a smile everywhere.
Not only Yanking, but Tony, Angus and others also noticed Arthur at this time, and they all opened their mouths in surprise. If they hadn't been following Adeline, they wouldn't have been able to connect the beautiful boy in front of them with the little orc-like Arthur.
"Aunt Nightingale." Arthur greeted politely.
"What a handsome little guy! If my aunt had met you when she was young, she would have been fascinated by you!" Nightingale stretched out her hand and pinched Arthur's cheek.
Arthur subconsciously dodged, but found that he couldn't dodge at all.
"He is Brother Randall's newly hired assistant. Sister Nightingale's barbecue is famous far and wide. I brought him here to see it." Adeline explained with a smile.
"Oh, poor little guy, Randall is a weirdo! But your Aunt Nightingale's barbecue will make you forget all the unpleasant things!" Nightingale pinched Arthur's face again before turning back to the kitchen to prepare something. .
Adeline took Arthur and sat directly at the table with Tony and Angus.
Tony still looked unhappy and muttered: "I really don't understand why you are so polite to 'Tracy'. You should work with us to deal with those guys in the blood!"
"This kind of meaningless bar fight, so what if we win? In the end, Captain Keynes is not the one to end it? Tony, we are mercenaries, not the little gangsters in the city. Any efforts we make must be proportionate." In return!" Adeline scolded Tony with a straight face.
"Yeah, yeah." Arthur nodded subconsciously while stuffing barbecue into his mouth.
Tony didn't dare to refute Adeline, so he reached out and hit Arthur on the back of the head, "What do you know, you little think?"
Arthur swallowed the meat in his mouth and rolled his eyes at Tony, "I think Teacher Adeline is very right. Even the orcs know not to engage in unnecessary fights."
"Useless fighting? Do you think I don't understand those stupid orcs? They always fight with each other when they have nothing to do." Tony stretched out his hand to hit Arthur again.
Arthur was prepared this time and slipped from his seat under the table. "They are competing for the title of the strongest warrior in the camp for honor."
"What we are competing with the Blood Stingers now is honor, the honor of the strongest mercenary group in Juarez City. So what do you think we should do according to the rules of the orcs?"
"Then challenge them openly and openly!" Arthur squatted under the table and said to Tony with his head raised.
"Challenge?" Tony was stunned for a moment, and then said with a bad smile: "Okay, then you will represent our Blue Enchantress to challenge the blood-striking gang, right?"
"Okay." Arthur got out from under the table and walked straight towards Kristi.
"Tony!" Adeline glared at Tony fiercely.
"It doesn't matter. If this kid dares to get close to Tracy and the others, I will..."
Tony was only halfway through what he said when he was interrupted by a crisp voice.
"On behalf of the Blue Fairy Mercenary Group, I formally challenge the Blood-Stab Mercenary Group. Do you dare to accept the challenge?"
Kristi gritted his teeth and stared at Adeline and Tony with murderous eyes. Letting a child challenge him was a naked humiliation!
"Don't be such a coward. Do you dare to accept the challenge?" Arthur repeated.
"Coward" is an idiom used by orcs when provoking each other. To Kristi, it sounds like another stab in the chest.
Kristi slapped the table, "We accept the challenge, Adeline or Tony, whoever comes here to die!"
"Captain Kristi, you seem to have made a mistake. It was me who initiated the challenge, and your opponent is me." Arthur looked at Kristi and said seriously.
Cui Side was immediately angry, "Did they ask you to die?"
"No, I asked for it. Please don't jump to conclusions easily before the duel is over."
Kristi's fighting spirit erupted again, forcing Arthur's body to stagger back two steps, "Then do you know that I can easily kill you with one finger!"
Arthur raised his fists in a fighting stance, "You can try it!"
Kristi raised a finger, and the light cyan fighting energy extending from the finger was more than a foot long, and slowly stabbed Arthur's forehead.
Adeline, Tony, Angus and others all stood up. Even if they wanted to go over and save Arthur, it was too late.
Arthur seemed to be frightened, and he didn't know how to dodge the fighting spirit stabbing him.
Cui Side unexpectedly withdrew his fighting spirit at the last moment. If I kill a child here today, I will become the object of ridicule by all the mercenaries in the city.
Kristi suddenly raised his head and stared at Adeline, "Are you sure you want this child to challenge?"
"No, I'll do it!" Tony really didn't expect Arthur to dare to challenge Kristi.
But Adeline grabbed Tony who was about to step forward and nodded slowly, "Yes, let's confirm."
Adeline suddenly realized that the child was betting, and he seemed to have won half of the bet...
