Volume 4: The Winds and Clouds of the Western Blue Sky Chapter 12: The Eagle Group

Four days have passed since Qi Ji and his companions left Frye City.
After leaving Fly City, Melina reported everything that happened in Fly City, especially the fact that the city lord was an "Apostle", to the Pioneer Society through the bird messengers trained by the Pioneer Society.
In the demon-ridden Xicang continent, if a large human settlement lacks a strong person to guard it, it will soon be hunted down by the demons waiting for an opportunity and turned into an uninhabited dead city.
Although the Pioneer Society was not keen on taking charge of the city, since Frye City was one of the small cities built around the border, it had always provided good transit services for the Pioneer Society's personnel traveling west before the city lord launched the witch hunting policy.
Therefore, the Development Society does not want to see this city decline just because it loses its lord.
According to the reply from the Pioneer Society, they temporarily dispatched the third-level knight Terrence to Frye City to maintain order. Until a new third-level master appears who wants to take over Frye City, the Pioneer Society will provide shelter and management for this place.
After several days of traveling during the day and resting in the city at night, Qi Ji and his companions had already completed one-third of the journey to their final destination, the "Witch's Forest."
That day, at Melina's reminder, although it was still daytime, the few of them decided not to continue their journey, but entered a large city where a fourth-level strongman was stationed.
The city of wind and sand, Shande City.
"So, next we have to cross a large desert, which will take more than a week, and there will be no supply cities along the way?"
Qi Ji looked at Melina and asked curiously.
Melina, who was sitting opposite him, nodded, and her small mouth, which was covered by the hood with only the lower half of her face exposed, smiled.
Several people settled down in Shande City, and after they were settled, they went to the tavern next to the hotel for dinner.
After several days of running around, although she went into the city to rest every day, Melina, who had not yet reached the extraordinary level, looked a little tired.
As for Qi Ji and the other two who have already entered the extraordinary realm, they are still full of energy .
Melina said softly, "We may have to stay here for a few days and find an opportunity to join a brigade of more than a hundred people to cross the desert together."
She continued, "Only in this way can we ensure that we won't be attacked by demons if there is no city to transfer supplies along the way."
Then, Melina explained to Qi Ji the reason for doing so.
It has been mentioned before that the Xicang Continent was once invaded by demons, or foreign demons. Although most of the city territories were regained with great difficulty under the leadership of several "emperors" (that is, fifth-level strongmen), there are still a large number of demons remaining in various parts of the continent.
These demons hide in the wilderness where few people go. Although they no longer appear in large numbers, they will target lone travelers, especially at night.
That is when the demon's bloodthirst is the strongest and its power is the strongest.
At this time, they will wander in the wilderness, hunting and devouring lone humans.
On the other hand, if humans gather in large numbers, the demons will be afraid and dare not act rashly.
Therefore, after many years of bloody lessons, the people of the Western Cang Continent divided the number of humans that needed to be "gathered" into groups of at least a hundred people.
A brigade with hundreds of people, including about twenty with extraordinary combat capabilities, can travel relatively worry-free in non-high-risk areas of the Xicang Continent.
If the number is lower than this level, they will be hunted and harassed by endless demons at night - unless there are obviously high-level strong people in the team.
Obviously, only those above level three can be called strong.
"So, crossing the desert and doing business between the two places can make a lot of profit. There will be many caravans departing from Shande City. We will be able to hitch a ride with the caravan soon."
Melina finally said this.
Qi Ji nodded to show that he understood.
A few people chatted in the pub and ate local delicacies, which relieved the fatigue of traveling in the past few days.
Just when Qi Ji thought that today would pass peacefully like the previous few days.
The door of the pub was pushed open and a group of more than ten people filed in.
A group of fierce people entered the tavern, most of them were muscular men. Each of them wore leather armor and had metal armor attached to key parts such as vital parts.
They carried cold and sharp swords on their waists or backs.
Among this group of big men, there is a tall man whose appearance is out of tune with this group of people.
He was dressed in white, with a gorgeous curved sword hanging from his waist. He was tall, with silver hair and blue eyes, a beautiful appearance, and a faint smile on his lips. He walked with an elegant posture, as if he was a prince of a noble kingdom.
Although there was a large group of people entering the tavern, everyone who looked at the crowd was immediately attracted by the man in white.
"That's the White Eagle - Fermont Ego." Melina saw Qi Ji looking at the man in white at the door with interest, and took the initiative to speak softly.
"White Eagle?" Qi Ji turned around.
"He is the leader of the Eagle Group, a mercenary group that has become famous in the Western Cang Continent in recent years. He is a man of great martial arts, handsome appearance, and unparalleled strategy." Melina said softly.
Then she added: "Under his leadership, the Eagle Corps was hired to participate in small-scale battles between cities to fight for territory. They never lost and were known as the "Undefeated Corps."
Not only Qi Ji, Lancelot and Gawain were also listening very attentively. Such people can be called heroes of the time.
Gao Wen couldn't help but ask, "Looking at his age, he's probably less than 30 years old. If we can describe him as a skilled martial artist, what level is his strength at?"
Melina said: "It is said that this person has reached the high level of the third stage, and is truly at the level of "Count". "
A third level person under thirty years old?
Lancelot and Gawain looked at each other in shock.
Then they looked at Qi Ji who remained silent, and immediately felt that it was no big deal.
No matter how awesome a Level 3 player in his twenties is.
Can he be more awesome than Qi Ji, who is 25 years old and can kill a third-level apostle at the first-level realm?
If you can't beat them, just stand aside.
On the other side, the people of the Eagle Group surrounded Femont and found a seat in the tavern. Under the stares of the mercenaries, although they did not say anything to drive them away, several tables of guests immediately paid their bills and left, leaving the tables empty for them to sit together.
After the Eagle Group sat down, they started talking and laughing noisily, led by a few strong men. Someone called the boss to serve them wine and food.
A few minutes later.
Qi Ji's ears twitched slightly, he sighed and stood up, and said to Melina and the two knights: "If it's almost time, let's go. If we stay any longer, trouble will come."
Melina and the two knights looked at Qi Ji's helpless expression, nodded and stood up.
"Boss, pay the bill." Gao Wen waved his hand and said.
It's a pity it's too late.
Over at the Eagle Group, a two-meter-tall burly man came over with a smile on his face. Before he even got close, he laughed heartily and said, "My friends, I'll pay for your meals."
Melina and the other two looked at Qi Ji, waiting for his reaction.
Qi Ji sighed and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but this sword of mine is what I use to make a living. I won't sell it to you. Please go back."
With his terrifying hearing, he had already heard the conversation among the Eagle Group and knew their intentions.
The other party took a fancy to the wolf sword he was carrying and wanted to buy it.
It has to be said that Qi Ji's wolf sword is a weapon with amazing lethality.
However, its appearance is magnificent and elegant, and its material is obviously of extraordinary quality, which makes it extremely attractive to warriors.
The sturdy man's face changed, as if he was surprised how Qi Ji knew what he was thinking.
But soon he laughed again, but this time his smile was no longer a hearty laugh, but a slight sneer.
"Brother, don't be in a hurry to leave. Things always have a price. I like your sword very much. Give it to me, and you won't have to risk your life for the next few years."
The sturdy man continued with a cruel smile, "Of course, you don't have to sell it, but it's possible that you won't have to sell your life for the rest of your life."
The whole pub fell silent for a moment.
Including the leader of the Eagle Group, Femont, who was also chuckling as he watched his men "communicating" with Qi Ji.
Qi Ji smiled slightly, but instead of leaving in a hurry, he turned back to sit on the chair, took off the wolf sword from his back and gently placed it on the table, looked at the big man with a smile and said, "I'm a little curious, what price are you going to offer?"
The big man laughed and pulled out a chair and sat down. "I was originally planning to pay ten blue coins, but now I've taken a look at your sword and it doesn't look good. I think it's better to pay less. Five blue coins. We'll settle the payment now."
After saying that, he bid out five blue coins, looked at the wolf sword that Qi Ji placed on the table with greed in his eyes, and was about to reach out to take it away.
The purchasing power of five Blue Coins is roughly equal to fifty thousand dollars.
Fifty thousand yuan, want to "buy" Qi Ji's priceless wolf sword.
The big man's big hand was pinched by a slender and beautiful hand.
Qi Ji gently pinched his wrist and said, "You paid so readily, why don't you check the goods?"
The big man's eyes still didn't leave the wolf sword, and he responded: "No need to check, I have a very sharp eye, this is definitely a treasured sword!"
Then, he ignored Qi Ji and stretched out his hand to grab the hilt of the sword.
But his right hand couldn't move at all.
Qi Ji's hand, which seemed to be lightly pinching his wrist, was now like a pair of pliers made of the hardest metal, firmly clamping the big man's wrist in place.
This time the big man finally became furious.
He raised his head warily and saw Qi Ji's smiling face.
"Let me show you what's so good about this sword."
"Moreover, we offer an additional service, which is to use your own body to cut it, so that you can feel its sharpness 'personally'."
The next second, in the big man's horrified gaze, Qi Ji pushed him back suddenly.
Then, Qi Ji drew his sword at a speed that almost no one could see.
The sword flashed.
With a loud thud, the big man fell backwards, and subconsciously stretched out his right hand to maintain his balance.
Cut it off at the root!
The whole audience immediately burst into noise.
As the big man fell down screaming in pain, everyone in the Eagle Group stood up together.
Some people who were on good terms with the big man screamed his name, and three or four people rushed towards Qi Ji.
"stop."
Femont shouted softly, and the originally rough mercenaries trembled all over and stopped at the same time.
Orders must be obeyed.
