Chapter 17 - Chapter 16: The First Hunt of the Mercenaries

 An ordinary 'brawl' turned into a bloodbath.

 Mercenaries fight with each other, but the things that cause death is very rare, after all, there is no interest in entanglement who will not kill, not to mention that once in the field encountered trouble, mercenaries support each other or unwritten rules.

 "You guys wait, today's matter is not over!" The Coyote Fox's mercenary didn't forget to let out harsh words as he picked up Solich and hurriedly rushed out of the tavern.

 Things certainly don't end there!

 How could the Coyote Foxes possibly swallow their anger when their own mercenaries were openly robbed and injured in the tavern? The two deputy leaders of the mercenary group, "Wild Wolf" Iluda and "Fire Wolf" Isaiah, led more than 200 angry Coyote Fox mercenaries to block the gate of the Stabbing Blood Mercenary Group that night, demanding "Stabbing Blood" to hand over the man and compensate for his injuries. demanded that the "Stabbing Blood" hand over their men and pay compensation.

 "Stabbing Blood knew that they were at a disadvantage, but they couldn't hand them over, otherwise they would lose face in the whole mercenary world. Tristie was even more furious, this matter because of his own blade, he led the mercenaries of Stabbing Blood out of the gate and was ready to fight with the people of "Coyote Fox".

 A large-scale armed fight between mercenaries is on the verge of breaking out.

 Just the two sides of the head of the old fox Valeo and Kirkel did not show up, the two sides of each other, shouting curses but no one dared to make the first move.

 The massive confrontation between the two parties immediately alerted the city's defense forces.

 Because of the intervention of the city's defense forces this battle did not end up being fought, but the main general of the city's garrison, the eighth level battle school strong Kunto leader had to personally intercede.

 Because the enchanted longsword that caused the dispute between the two sides later disappeared in the chaos, the words of the Stabbing Blood side were no longer proven, and the only thing that could be confirmed was that Salik wanted to grab the Coyote Fox mercenaries' blades to trigger the fight between the two sides, and that the Stabbing Blood mercenaries stabbed Solich into a serious injury in the chaos.

 Kirkel, the leader of the Spiked Blood Mercenary Regiment, was forced to give in and pay 400 gold coins to the Wolf Fox to settle the matter.

 The battle wasn't fought but the beam was formed, and both sides were gagging for breath, so the small friction between the mercenaries down there remained unbroken for quite a long time.

 Because it was triggered by the sword that was suspected to be the one that Tristie lost, both mercenary groups had suspected that it was the "Blue Demoness" that had stirred up the trouble. However, the Blue Demoness had stayed out of it from the beginning to the end, without revealing anything about their involvement.

 Where did they get the idea that the whole thing was a private action by the two little bastards, Tony and Arthur. After the successful provocation before they could profit from the follow-up action, they were sternly stopped by Cairns and Randall. Arthur was, after all, a child, and his little scheme that he thought was clever would be immediately recognized once he profited from it.

 Through this incident Cairns and Randall realized that they had still underestimated Arthur, this little guy could always bring unexpected surprises.

 This unexpected bar incident had once again restored the delicate balance between the three B-rank mercenary corps in Juarez City, at odds with each other yet each unable to do anything about the other.

 Arthur, the instigator of the incident, was at that moment darting through the dense oak forest, leaping lightly over clumps of bushes and straggling vines on the ground.

 Running Arthur wearing a unknown animal skin tanned earth yellow first-class mercenary leather armor, leather armor also showed the outwardly turned fur edges, a green hair band to tie up the long black hair already to the shoulders. The body has been stronger than when he first arrived at the mercenary group, and has become a half-grown boy, no longer a skinny and withered look.

 Arthur removed a dark, fine-iron bow from his back as he ran, and a sharp arrow left the bowstring almost simultaneously.

 In front of where the sharp arrow flew out, a black-backed tusked pig was lowering its head and vigorously arching a tall oak tree, its sharp tusks leaving a deep groove in the roots of the hard oak tree with every arch.

 Black back fang pig, a level one magical beast, although the brain is not too smart, but the temper is violent, a pair of sharp tusks is comparable to a fine grade lance, a rough skin is hard like iron armor, ordinary swords are difficult to injure. Adult black back tusk pig is half a ton heavy, calf-sized, launched wildly two or three human warriors of the same level simply can not get close. Even so, because of all the skin and tusks is still the favorite of hunters and mercenaries, not hesitate to risk hunting.

 Hearing the cracking sound of the arrow, the black-backed tusker stopped arching the tree and turned its head. The arrow pierced into the tusker's neck at that moment, and the huge inertia directly overturned the tusker to the ground.

 The black-backed tusker shook its head and stood up in an instant, and the sharp arrow fell to the ground with the shaking of its head, and the seemingly swift and incomparable arrow only caused the black-backed tusker a bit of superficial injury. The tusker also discovered the human boy who attacked him, let out a low growl of pain, and rushed up to meet Arthur.

 Running Arthur's speed did not decrease, the bowstring in his hand did not stop, three sharp arrows flew out one after another, the three arrows were almost connected into a line and shot at the black-backed tusker.

 "Three stars in a row!" An exclamation of surprise suddenly came out from between the branches of a tall oak tree not far behind Arthur, "That stingy guy Iraya even gave that little guy his best skill."

 "Didn't you even pull out the life-preserving 'Phantom Sneak'? Otherwise he could run so easily?"

 "I lost that to him, I, Tony, have never been the most trustworthy of mercenaries, I just didn't think he could learn so fast?"

 Hiding in the trees were none other than Tony and Angus. This was Arthur's first time to go out for training alone, and it was also Randall's intention that only through the sharpening of danger and life and death battles could the strongest mercenaries be developed. But he was uneasy, so he sent Tony and the two of them to secretly follow him.

 "Isn't it too dangerous to let him deal with a level one magical beast by himself?" There was a hint of worry in Angus' tone.

 Tony wiped his nose and said with a big grin, "Watch, this kid is a genius, it's only been half a year and he's already had his fighting qi penetrate his body and become a first rank warrior! You used a few years to beat up your muscles and bones and fight through the body back then, three years or five years?"

 Just when the two were fighting in the tree, Arthur had already thrown away the bow and arrow in his hand and rushed to the front of the black-backed tusker. The previous three arrows were almost all shot in the same spot, the last arrow went in more than half a foot deep in the back of the black-backed tusker's neck, and as the tusker shook violently, thick blood was flung out as it ran.

 Arthur had completely enraged this level one magical beast, the tusked pig hissed and slammed headfirst into Arthur's abdomen, a pair of tusks like two sharp blades wanting to open up Arthur's body.

 The moment the tusks were almost next to his body, Arthur's body made an agile spin and dodged the tusked pig's impact in one go.

 Facing the beast that turned around again, Arthur weighed the foot-long straight-edged hunting knife in his hand and revealed a disdainful smile ...
