Chapter 588 Laugh Out Loud
The day after the shelling began, Tie Zha and the Black Pig King came to the mercenary management camp to find out more about the situation and see if there was anything they could do. Not long after they entered the camp, they saw a group of military trucks painted with the words “Seven Kills” passing by. It seemed that a new mercenary group had arrived.
Not long after, the two of them arrived at the management tent and discovered that there were many mercenaries gathered outside. Some of them were breathing hot air and rubbing their hands to keep warm, some were whispering and chatting in low voices, some were staring at the distant snow scene in a daze, some were squatting on the snow ground and smoking a cigarette …
Tie Zha and the Black Pig King stood at the side and silently listened to their conversation.
“Did you send the settling-in fee back?” “I sent it long ago, otherwise I would have been buried with you.” “I heard that the demon women are very energetic. After crossing the river, I want to catch a few to play with.” “Come on, that little toothpick of yours won’t poke.” “Hahaha …”
“Move aside! Move aside!” Suddenly, shouts of scolding came from the crowd.
The mercenaries dispersed one after another, and a few mercenaries wearing second-generation psionic power armor walked out. Tie Zha moved aside, but the Black Pig King remained motionless as he stood with his hands crossed over his chest. Seeing this, Tie Zha stretched out his hand and pulled him away, signaling him not to cause any trouble. Although the Black Pig King was a little unhappy, he still moved aside.
As they passed by, one of the young men with red and yellow hair suddenly stopped and looked at the Black Pig King.
“Fat pig, you seem to be very good at fighting.” The young man’s lips curled into a mocking smile as he provoked.
“You’re courting death!” The Black Pig King was originally a powder keg that exploded at the slightest bit, not to mention insulting him in front of his face. He immediately roared and punched at the provocator.
The young man seemed to be prepared and jumped back, avoiding the Black Pig King’s fist. His companion immediately kicked the Black Pig King on the waist, his movements quick and ruthless, without the slightest hesitation.
Tie Zha’s pupils shrank as he punched at the mercenary who had attacked the Black Pig King. At the same time, the middle-aged mercenary in the lead swung his leg and threw his foot towards Tie Zha.
In the blink of an eye, Tie Zha sent his target flying and crossed his hands to protect his head.
“Kuang!”
The next second, a tremendous force came from his arm. It was as if he had been hit by a truck. He slid backwards for a while, and his feet ploughed out two deep marks on the snow.
The moment his companion was sent flying, the young mercenary returned and kicked the Black Pig King in the chest. The Black Pig King was enormous. It only took a few steps back before it regained its footing and rushed back.
The young mercenary’s face turned pale and he involuntarily retreated. The shadow in his pupils grew larger and larger, like a road roller that was pushed over horizontally. Just as he was about to cry out, a sturdy mercenary suddenly jumped out from the side and broke through the Black Pig King’s encirclement with a “bang”.
After a short exchange of blows, the two sides were separated by more than ten meters and confronted each other.
After a stalemate for a few seconds, the middle-aged mercenary in the lead put away his battle posture and left with a sentence, “Seven Kills Legion, Bai Xiaotian”, and left with his subordinates.
Tie Zha and the Black Pig King did not say anything, nor did they stop them. They just watched as they disappeared from their sight. These people’s skills were not bad, and they cooperated with each other tacitly. The middle-aged man who called himself “White Howl Heaven” was a psionic energy practitioner at the eighth rank and above. He was extremely powerful. The two of them didn’t have much advantage, so it was fine.
After returning to the camp, Tie Zha angrily dialed Bi Tianye’s voice and shouted, “Why are they all from the Snake Race?”
The surname Bai was the main surname of the White Snake Clan in the Far East, such as Bai Xiaoyun.
In the face of Tie Zha’s questioning, Bi Tianye chuckled. She said that some blind fellow had angered Lord Tie Zha. She would definitely find out and give him a good deal of comfort.
Half an hour later, Tie Zha frowned and sat in the command tent, staring at the Black Pig King with displeasure. At this time, the guard trotted in and reported that a psionic light had appeared in the distance, as if someone was flying over.
After leaving the tent, seven streaks of blue light streaked across the sky and landed outside the camp. Tie Zha immediately gritted his teeth. He didn’t expect that the other party would come to cause trouble so quickly. It was really a wave after wave.
The Black Pig King followed. The two of them exchanged glances, ignited the power furnace, and walked out.
But as soon as they left the camp, the two of them were stunned. The moment the other party saw them, he bowed his head and shouted in unison, “Seven Kills Legion, greet Big Brother.”
“Huh?” Tie Zha and the Black Pig King were on guard.
“Big brother, we have no eyes, we don’t know how high the Spirit Mountain is. Please give us a hand and spare us.” Bai Xiaotian’s tears flowed down his cheeks, unlike a long ball, like a wronged village woman crying on a boulder at the entrance of the village.
The young mercenary, whose hair was dyed red and yellow, cried as he moved forward to hug the Black Pig King’s leg. “Fat brother … oh no … strong man … I’m just a punk. Just treat me as a fart. Let it go …” The latter immediately lifted his foot and kicked. The former rolled a few times in the snow and just stopped, he crawled back.
“We were wrong. Please spare us.” The others also shouted.
“What’s going on?” The Black Pig King asked in a rough voice.
“Big brother, tell the Holy Maiden, otherwise we will be exterminated.” Bai Xiaotian pleaded, “In the future, if there is anything that I can use, I will use my big brother’s words. I can use my saber to do whatever I want …”
A moment later, Tie Zha dialed Bi Tianye’s voice.
“Sir, are you satisfied?” Bi Tianye asked warmly.
“Alright.” Facing the pleas of Bai Xiaotian and the others, Tie Zha felt goosebumps all over his body.
“Alright, please wait a moment.” Bi Tianye said obediently.
After hanging up the communication, Tie Zha invited the frightened Bai Xiaotian and the others into the command tent. The seven of them stood in a row, their faces trembling with fear, not even daring to sit down.
“Sit down.” The Black Pig King frowned and said impatiently.
The seven of them hurriedly waved their hands and said, “Don’t you dare?”
“I told you to sit down. What are you talking about!” The Black Pig King shouted loudly.
The seven of them immediately showed fear and sat down on the ground. The Black Pig King was speechless and rolled his eyes, not knowing what to say.
“Dudu … Dudu … Dudu …”
In the silence, Bai Xiaotian’s communicator suddenly rang. In an instant, the seven of them looked at each other, their faces as pale as paper.
“Big brother, let me take a voice call.”
After obtaining Tie Zha’s permission, Bai Xiaotian took a deep breath and pressed the answer button.
Bai Xiaotian held the communication device in his hands and nodded repeatedly. He didn’t know how many “good” words he had said, but he was extremely respectful.
“Ah, then I’ll hang up. Good, good …” His head was covered in cold sweat, as if he had just been pulled out of the water. After hanging up the communication, he let out a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground.
The fear brought about by the Azure Snake Blood Moon was not something that could be clearly expressed in a few words. The Spirit Snake Holy Maiden only said one sentence to him, “Bai Xiaotian of White Water Village, the Black Wolf Legion is our distinguished guest. Do your best.” Although his tone was light, he was so frightened that his soul almost fainted.
Just what kind of distinguished guest was it that allowed the Spirit Snake Holy Lady to personally appear? With his feet, he could figure out that he was in big trouble. When he connected with the rumors about the Red Tiger Legion, he felt a chill all over his body. Even if he wasn’t afraid of death, he still had to worry about his wife and children, parents and villagers. If there was a slight mistake, it would bring disaster to them. He wasn’t even afraid of the temple, even daring to take on the job of assassinating the knights of dawn. However, he did not dare to touch the dignity of the Snake Sect, not even the slightest bit. Because his roots were there, he could run away from the monk and not the temple. As a result, he quickly brought his six sworn brothers with him. Without daring to delay for a second, he went straight to the Black Wolf Legion camp and knelt on the ground to plead for forgiveness.
After a long time, Bai Xiaotian and the others finally recovered from their shock. At the invitation of Tie Zha, they sat on the marching chair and drank tea and chatted.
“Brothers, brothers are ignorant. I’m sorry to offend you.” Bai Xiaotian cupped his hands and said.
“Alright, don’t repeat it.” Tie Zha raised his hand and said.
“Good good good” Bai Xiaotian replied respectfully, then said frankly, “Brothers, we came here to take a dirty job and prepare to finish off a Knight of Dawn, so …” He paused for a moment and continued, “On the surface, it’s not good to get too close to the two brothers to avoid getting involved.” Although it was a secret, the other party had a high status and was a Spirit Snake Holy Lady. Naturally, there was nothing to hide. The other party simply didn’t care about this small matter of theirs.
The most important thing was that if something unexpected happened and implicated these people, his clansmen would suffer. Also, if he could seize this opportunity to make friends and catch the Sun Snake Sect’s Heavenly Train, he would definitely be able to rise like a fish in water in the Far East in the future. Could there be someone more powerful than the High Priest in the Twin Snake Plains and the Heavenly Snake River Valley?
“Kill who?” Ghost messenger Tie Zha asked.
“This” Bai Xiaotian hesitated for a moment before replying, “A squadron leader of the sixth brigade of the Fifth Army of the expeditionary army, Hildebrand Sujia, came to our house to let us find an opportunity. Without anyone noticing, he …” He made a throat-cutting gesture.
“What!” Tie Zha’s expression changed abruptly as he leapt to his feet.
“Big … big brother, what’s wrong?” Bai Xiaotian was so shocked that he even stuttered.
Tie Zha quickly realized that he had lost his composure. He slowly sat down and said, “He is my friend and cannot be killed.”
Hearing Tie Zha’s words, Bai Xiaotian’s expression changed. Suddenly, it was bright and dark. Sometimes, his brows were tightly knitted, and sometimes, he stretched out. After pondering for a long time, he suddenly slapped his thigh forcefully and said with a happy expression, “Big brother, this is a good thing!”
“Huh?” Tie Zha couldn’t react for a moment.
“Do you think it’s our own brother who took this job? If someone else took it, wouldn’t it be troublesome?” Bai Xiaotian smiled and then said righteously, “Oh no … it won’t be troublesome for others to take it. In any case, they are all from the same family.”
“Hahaha” Tie Zha immediately understood and laughed. Bai Xiaotian’s words had two meanings. The first was naturally that they had accepted the assassination mission and could interfere with it. As for the second floor, it was to assassinate the Templar Knights. They could only find them from the Far East, and none of them dared to take it from elsewhere. Once the matter was revealed, even if there was someone protecting him, he would undoubtedly die. Only in the Far East, where the powers of the Temple were unable to reach, could peace be guaranteed. Although the Sun Snake Sect was strong at home, it was very defensive towards the outside world and could not afford to suffer any losses. As for the extradition of criminals, a simple sentence like “we can’t catch them” would take hundreds of years.
“Hahaha” Everyone was stunned for a moment, but they soon understood what was going on and burst into laughter.
