It has been a while since I left the secret base of the demon hunting blade mercenary regiment. I don''t know how heathed and them are doing. The task given to us by old heathed is to inquire about the situation in giant bear town first and investigate why the dead suddenly appeared in bohip town. The captain of our three man team is nataya. Frant and I have to listen to her.

    In the past few days, we have learned something about the empire after the black dragon attack through various means.

    It''s summer, but the temperature in the northern provinces is much cooler. All three of us put on brown and gray hoods and cloaks and pretended to be passers-by.

    We don''t want to create complications, so we keep a low profile all the way. However, some things we can''t decide, such as meeting this group of guys who want to take advantage of the fire.

    In the wilderness not far from giant bear Town, a gang of five robbers focused on the three of us. They regarded us as lambs to be slaughtered.

    The three of us were about to reach giant bear town. Unexpectedly, two men with axes suddenly appeared from behind the tree at the intersection. One of the men had a scar on his right eye.

    "Friend, do you want to get to bear town safely?" a man opened his mouth

    "Talk to them and tell them to take out the money, or they will kill them. At first glance, this dress is smelly Derman, and I hate them most." another rough crazy man with a scar on his eye said impatiently

    Frant was a little angry. He didn''t want to pay attention to these scum. Nataya motioned frant not to act rashly.

    "Hello, brothers. Here are 20 Silver Dragon coins. Please let us go." nataya said politely and took out a pocket containing silver coins to the man

    "Just a little money? How can you send beggars?" scar was not angry, but he changed his mind after seeing nataya''s face

    "Hey, hey, chick, if you stay with your brother for one night, I''ll let you live." there was an obscene smile on the scar man''s face

    This sentence made me very unhappy. These people really regarded us as lambs to be slaughtered.

    I put my hand on the hilt of the sword around my waist and prepared to draw the sword for battle, but nataya gave me a gesture and I had to give up.

    "This brother really thinks highly of me, but first look at what''s behind you?" nataya suddenly pretended to be surprised

    Scar man didn''t think much. He looked back, but he couldn''t look more.

    In the moment when scar man turned around, nataya had released a powerful flame impact magic, which completely burned scar man to ashes

    Before the other man could react, I pulled out the sword around his waist and cut off his head.

    Dare to be the enemy of professional mercenaries, this is the end!

    However, to our surprise, three cold arrows were suddenly shot out of the forest, and frant quickly blocked two of them for us with his back shield.

    But another one roared towards my right arm. With a "poof", my right arm hung up.

    Fortunately, the arrow just rubbed my skin. Unfortunately, it was a poisonous arrow, and the wound blackened quickly.

    "Is everything all right?" nataya said anxiously when she saw the wound

    At this time, frant had found the robber hiding in the woods with cold arrows by intuition. He killed two and one ran away. He found the antidote on one of them.

    I felt weak all over, cold sweat on my forehead and numbness in my limbs. I was paralyzed in nataya''s arms.

    "Hold on a little longer and you''ll be fine," nataya said to me. At this time, she didn''t look tall and cold, but with a maternal tenderness.

    No wonder mothers are the greatest people. They can even do anything for their children.

    "Come on, come on, I''ve found the antidote." frant quickly ran back after quickly solving the people.

    Nataya quickly opened the antidote, sprinkled it on my wound and healed me.

    Slowly, I felt that my whole body was not cold, but felt again.

    I often wonder what would happen if I was poisoned by blood, or if this poison had no antidote, or if the antidote came too late?

    But there is no if in this world. I am me. I am lucky to survive again.

    When I opened my eyes and saw Natalia, I still didn''t want to get up like this. I really wanted to lie in her arms for a while.

    "Cough, it''s almost time for us to go on the road. Mercenaries don''t die so easily." frant said unnaturally

    Nataya helped me up, and I glared at frant, but frant seemed to avoid it deliberately.

    In this way, the three of us came to the destination of this trip - giant bear town.

    As soon as we got to the town, we met a lively thing. The three of us decided to go and have a look.

    "Burn him, burn him, long live the northern coalition!" the civilians in the town shouted in a small square with torches

    These crazy people surrounded the center of the small square tightly. We couldn''t see what was going on inside.

    "Long live Northland! Long live the northern coalition! Long live general grawell!" the people seemed very excited

    We pushed into the crowd and finally saw what had happened.

    A fire platform was set up in the center of the square, on which four people were tied. Look, one is a noble, one is a prostitute, one is a robber, and the last one looks like an imperial knight.

    Standing on the stage, the host was a tall bald Northland. He was wearing standard iron armor. He should be the rumored northern coalition soldier. He began to make a speech to the people under the stage.

    "Brothers! Comrades in arms! Nobles oppress us, robbers exploit us, prostitutes drain us, knights help tyrants oppress us, and now, Northland will belong to us Northland!" the bald man shouted

    "Long live Northland! Long live the northern coalition! Long live general grawell!" the people echoed and shouted again, waving torches

    The bald man motioned his northern coalition soldiers to pour oil on the four men. Then the first threw a torch on the four men and left the platform.

    The people also threw torches on the four people, and the fire burned all over the four people in an instant.

    Painful wails, sad cries, and excited smiles on people''s faces.

    Before long, there were only four charred skeletons left on the firing platform, and a burning smell choked people''s eyes.

    But even so, the hearts of the people are still very happy.

    "Long live Northland! Long live the northern coalition! Long live general grawell!" the people cheered again

    The three of us witnessed this crazy move and knew that the situation in the North was not rumored.

    Just then, the three of us turned and wanted to go, but the bald man with a team of northern coalition soldiers stood in front of us.

    I don''t know whether the other party is an enemy or a friend. For a time, we were at a loss, but we had prepared for the worst
