Chapter 503: Chapter 123 Overlord Mercenary Group_2
Ah Dai’s hand dropped, still standing quietly, without making any noise. Xuan Yue silently watched him, feeling the coldness radiating from his body. The two of them stood there facing each other in silence. The atmosphere in the room seemed unusually eerie.
After a while, Yue Ji ran back. She didn’t notice anything unusual between Ah Dai and Xuan Yue, threw the black robe in her hand to Ah Dai, and said, "I really don’t know why you want a robe. We martial artists are better off wearing fighting gear!"
Ah Dai caught the robe casually and said indifferently, "You guys go to the conference hall first, I will join you after I change." As soon his words fell, Xuan Yue and Yue Ji both felt a sudden invisible energy envelop their bodies. Before they could react, they realized that they had somehow been removed from the room and that the door was closed. Yue Ji was stunned. She remembered the old Ah Dai, who was strong but not skillful, who seemed to contain many secrets but did not seem to excel in martial arts compared to her siblings. But just now, she had no idea how she was moved out of the room. This situation seemed to only happen when the power gap between them was huge. She wanted to open the door and ask Ah Dai, but Xuan Yue stopped her.
Xuan Yue knew that no matter what she asked Ah Dai now, he might not answer. He seemed to have entered another realm, a realm that she could not understand, seemingly in preparation for today’s group battle. She didn’t want to disturb Ah Dai, afraid to shake his determination. After all, they were facing five hundred enemies today. She decided to wait until they had assisted the Moon Scar Mercenary Group, then she would find a chance to ask him.
"Sister Yue Ji, let’s go to the conference hall first. Brother Ah Dai wants to keep himself in the best condition for today’s group battle."
Yue Ji looked at Xuan Yue doubtfully, nodded helplessly, and the two of them went to the next room to call out Olivia and Kino, and headed to the conference hall together.
In the room, Ah Dai put on the black robe that Yue Ji had brought. For some reason, he had been very interested in the color black ever since he woke up from meditation. As he gently stroked the black robe, Ah Dai’s mind was clearer than ever before, as if everything was under control. He slowly raised his right hand, looked at his slender fingers intently, his white palm slowly clenched into a fist. Suddenly, the room seemed to brighten, and Ah Dai’s entire fist seemed to become transparent. His jade-like brilliance flickering slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. Ah Dai said word by word, "I——am——the——strongest——."
Outside of Varo City. Ten thousand bright and armored members of the Red Charming Clan formed into a square formation. At the forefront of the formation was the expressionless City Lord Ling Ze, riding a tall horse, followed by a dozen generals. Today was the day of the grand battle between two mercenary corps. To avoid any disputes, he had led all the city’s troops out. He was to be the judge of the decisive battle, witnessing the clash between the two sides. Although Ling Ze was not even fifty years old, he had been serving as the city lord for over twenty years. Since the Moon Scar Mercenary Group settled here, he had gained a lot of advantages. The head of the Moon Scar, although young, was very good at building relationships, so they had always gotten along well. He was equally shocked when he learned that someone dared to challenge them. The Red Charming Clan was a nation of mercenaries, and they took mercenary laws very seriously. Even though he appreciated the style of the Moon Scar Mercenary Group, he couldn’t favor anyone in the decisive challenge. Moreover, he had to consider the interests of Varo City. If the challenger had the confidence to use the decisive challenge, then they must be very confident of winning. Once the challenger settles in Varo City, as an official, he would have to establish a good relationship with them. Otherwise, it could affect his own career.
Ling Ze looked at the bright sky, took a deep breath and tried to calm his boiling blood. After all, the exciting moment of the decisive challenge between mercenaries, even in the mercenary world of Red Hurricane, was something that most people might never get to see in their entire lives.
"My Lord, the Moon Scar group is here." One of Ling Ze’s subordinates whispered in his ear.
Ling Ze perked up and looked towards the city gate. He saw a group of cavalry rushing out from the drawbridge. Around a thousand people, all dressed in leather armor and holding long spears, formed a terrifying formation. The sunlight shone brightly on the land, and they appeared like lightning under the clear command. At the front was the captain of the Moon Scar Mercenary corps, Moon Scar. His silver armor was radiant under the sunlight, making him look extremely majestic. With a spear raised high, Moon Scar signaled his team to stop. Following behind them, a troop of roughly a thousand foot soldiers, each holding a wide sword and a leather shield, came rushing out. They split into two wings and under the command of Miao Fei and Wan Li, they formed two square formations of 500 men each, standing behind the cavalry. These foot soldiers were all tall and robust, the backbone of the Moon Scar Mercenary Corps. After the foot soldiers formed a formation, another group of cavalry rushed out of the city gate. Just like the group led by Moon Scar, each person wore the mercenary standard leather armor. The only difference was that each person had a long knife on their back and a hard bow in their hand. On both sides of their saddles, they each carried a pot of feathered arrows. This was none other than the bow cavalry group, known for its archery skills under Yue Ji—the Moon Scar Mercenary Group’s trump card. By combining the best of cavalry, archers, and infantry, they had contributed a lot to the Moon Scar Mercenary Group.
