The Era of Gods

In this world, their luck will be reduced infinitely. Any descendant in this world is a non-chief, and if they don't pay attention to some small things, they will die.

This time, Lin Xiao, who was from ordinary background, became a mercenary and joined a mercenary team.

For the sake of safety, Lin Xiao stayed in the mercenary group with his teammates until the current breathing method did not reach the highest level of awakening qualification.

Fortunately, the aptitude this time is okay, and the training speed is much faster than before. With the breathing method enhanced by this good fortune energy, at this time his strength is also one of the best in the team, and he is the backbone of the team.

This time they received a mission. A small nobleman hired several mercenary groups of different sizes to travel together across a wasteland that spanned thousands of kilometers to another country on the other side of the wasteland.

There are many large and small alien tribes and beasts living in the wasteland. This half-orc tribe with a population of more than 1,000 is one of the most powerful alien tribes in the wasteland.

A wave of javelins rained down, Lin Xiao forcefully pulled the short javelin off the shield, and touched it to the left, where three green-skinned orcs were torn apart with four mercenaries.

There is no fair one-on-one fight in this kind of battle. He quietly touched it from behind, picked up a short javelin stuck on the ground on the way, and threw it down. The distance of less than five meters was in the maximum damage range of the javelin. An orc stabbed in the back of the waist.

The half-orc roared and tilted his body, and the warrior on the other side immediately seized the opportunity to slash down, and a hideous head flew out.

"Good job!"

The soldier gave Lin Xiao a thumbs up and praised him. He laughed, and the two of them killed the remaining two orcs together.

The three were encircled, the second orc was killed on the spot, and was about to kill the last one, when Lin Xiao suddenly became alert, and immediately shouted:

"Find cover!"

He threw himself directly to the ground, grabbed the stiff half-orc corpse and blocked it. The next second, a series of air-breaking sounds sounded, followed by screams one after another.

When he pushed away the corpse with several javelins inserted into his body, the few people and the orcs just now were all shot to death by a wave of javelins.

"Depend on!"

The battlefield is so cruel, acquaintances who usually talk and laugh together and drink together may die in a battle.

Without sighing, he quickly picked up a large wooden shield dropped by a companion, turned around and ran, pulling out the javelin on the shield while running, and circling it to a carriage, then quickly observed the surrounding battlefield, and found that their side had fallen into a disadvantage.

After all, a tribe with more than a thousand and a half orcs, even if only half of them are dispatched, there are five or six hundred people, and their mercenary groups plus aristocratic private soldiers are only two or three hundred, not to mention the average physical fitness of the orcs is stronger than them. Some.

The human side also resisted for a while by virtue of combat skills and defensive advantages, but it was still unstoppable in the end.

At this moment, Lin Xiao heard a familiar whistle, and when he turned around, he saw that the mercenary captain was blowing the whistle. This was the call for the whistle, and he quickly leaned over.

Soon more than 20 people gathered near the captain, and no one else came when he looked around, he said directly:

"The situation is not good. It is estimated that it can't be stopped. I am going to withdraw."

"Then our mission?"

"What mission? Those noble masters withdrew early with their confidants, and now they are resisting the abandoned sons."

Lin Xiao looked up and swept around, and sure enough, he found that the carriages where the nobleman was missing were missing.

"That's a fart, withdraw!"

The group quickly reached an agreement, regardless of the rapid retreat of the others.

As soon as they left, other mercenary teams also withdrew one after another not far away, and the battle collapsed suddenly, leaving only the corpses and carriages on the ground, and the remaining orcs happily dragged the corpses and carriages back.

The team left the battlefield and gathered behind a large weed, but after the break, the team was caught in an argument.

The captain wanted to catch up with the noble team to see if they could do something, but a considerable number of members led by the vice-captain did not want to be in danger and just wanted to go back directly. The two sides were at odds here.

Lin Xiao understands that what the captain wants to do is nothing more than coveting the money of the nobles. If the remaining guards of the nobles are insufficient, they will turn their faces and eat black in minutes. This kind of thing has not been done before.

The end result is naturally a split, the team is divided into two, one part follows the captain and the other part follows the vice-captain.

Lin Xiao was following the vice-captain, and he had no interest in robbing a noble team. This kind of thing was too risky and didn't do him any good.

He does not need the most valuable breathing method of nobles, nor does he need gold coins and silver coins, so why bother to work hard.

Of course, what really made him make up his mind was that the vice-captain was going to take them across the wasteland to the big empire on the other side of the wasteland. It is said that the royal family of that big empire was the descendant of an extraordinary totemist. Not only did the royal family have totemist advisors, There is also a totemist tower in the imperial capital, from which it is said that the mystery of how to become a totemist can be obtained.

Lin Xiao is quite interested in this, and this is also a rare place in this continent where totem masters can be contacted.

Yes, thanks to the channel of mercenaries, and the memory of reincarnation and awakening that he did not know how many times in the past, he has guessed that the continent he lives in is just a world where mortals gather. , There is a huge continent in the depths of the vast sea, where the totem masters and totem knights gather.

Compared to the real continent, his current continent with an area comparable to Europe is actually just an inconspicuous island in the vast and boundless sea. This kind of island where a large number of mortals live is everywhere in this world.

From this, it can be inferred that the area of ​​this world will be unexpectedly huge.

Without an escort mission, a group of mercenaries marched very fast. It only took half a month to cross the dangerous wasteland to a small town on the edge of the wasteland.

The small town is owned by the Ossa Empire. Because of the perennial harassment of beasts and alien races, the people are sturdy. There is an army stationed all year round, specializing in defending the alien races in the wasteland and protecting the caravans.

The mercenary team of only eight people came to the gate of the city along the gravel path. Such teams are very common here. It looks like they entered the wasteland and suffered a defeat. The guards also laughed at them. They took a few copper coins. It was put into the city, and there was no inspection at all.

As soon as the team entered the city, they went directly to the mercenary guild. The mercenary guild in the small city was located in the south of the city and covered a very large area. Lin Xiao followed the vice-captain to the door of the mercenary guild, and was suddenly stunned when he was about to enter.

There are many small signs printed with various strange symbols on the door, which are generally used to pass various secret codes that other people do not want to know.

One of the dozen or so signs caught his attention. After glancing around, he stepped forward and took out the sign. There was a line of addresses written in small print on the back.

"The No. 7 Courtyard of the Mercenary Guild?"

His eyes flickered for a while, he entered the guild, found the deputy captain and asked for a leave, and went out after finding the staff to ask the way.

The so-called No. 7 Courtyard of the Mercenary Guild is a property belonging to the Mercenary Guild, which is specially rented out to some small and medium-sized mercenary teams stationed in the local area. The emblem, you know it's right.

Gently knocking on the door, the door was quickly opened, revealing a young man who looked at Lin Xiao with puzzled eyes.

He didn't say anything, just took out the sign and handed it over, saying:

"Gaia!"

The man's eyes immediately stretched and a smile appeared:

"Rookie, come in."

The attitude is quite enthusiastic, which is the opposite of just now.

While welcoming him in, the man said:

"It's rare that a newcomer comes, you can call me Mor, I've been awakened for eight years."

"Luo Er, he has been awakened for three years!"

"clever."

Moore said appreciatively:

"I just wanted to remind you not to use your real name. Everyone here uses a pseudonym."

Entering the courtyard while speaking, Moore continued:

"This is just one of our strongholds for brothers from other places to come and stay here. Now there are only three of me, including me, and you have four. According to the agreement, any awakened companions can come here. Get a stipend and provide a portion of the totemist's information for free."

"You can choose whether you want it or not. If you want it, you will need to stay in this stronghold for one to three years, at least one year. If new people come, you can leave early."

Lin Xiaoqi said:

"What do the subsidies and materials cover?"

Moore replied happily:

"The subsidy is a set of excellent weapons and equipment designated by you, including controlled weapons such as crossbow arrows, and a thousand gold coins. The information is a part of the basic information about totem masters and how to become a totem master apprentice, including several types of becoming Apprentice's method."

"Well!"

It was tempting, just what he lacked.

Lin Xiao hesitated for a moment and then said:

"I agreed."

Moore raised his big finger and laughed and said:

"A wise choice. In the future, you will know that this choice is definitely a value-for-money choice. Even so, I will show you a good understanding of the situation here in the past few days and hand over it in a few days."

Moore looked impatient.

In the next few days, he took Lin Xiao around the city and explained to him the situation of the organization here and the assets it owned.

As a public organization created by the predecessors a long time ago, it has developed over hundreds of thousands of years, and it already has an extremely large dark force in this world, even this small town is no exception.

Not to mention the higher-level forces involved, the organization in the city alone owns half a street and dozens of shops, and the rent collected every month is a lot of money. In addition, there is an underground gang and a large mercenary group. Serve them, not to mention higher tier support.

However, the underground gangs and mercenary groups were created by their predecessors, and now the seniors have died. Now the gang mercenary group is only a cooperative relationship with them, and they need to spend money to do anything.

As the temporary host of this stronghold, you can invite these two forces to serve you at a very favorable price, for example.
