Chapter 2982 - 2982 Ambush
2982 Ambush
“Yes.” The elderly man replied and then removed the soundproof boundary barrier. He sat beside Gu Mo after exiting the carriage with his waist half-bent. “Are you tired, young man? Do you want me to switch duties with you?”
“There’s no need for that.” Gu Mo responded while continuing to drive the beast carriage.
The elderly man sat and watched. When he saw Luo Yu and a few others riding horses alongside the carriage, he smiled and asked, “You’re a small group with six members. Who is the captain of your mercenary group?”
“Haha, we take turns being captain, so I’ll be in charge today and he’ll be in charge tomorrow, ” Luo Yu said with a hearty chuckle.
When the elderly man heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched. The mercenary group’s men were very casual, almost to the point where he couldn’t think of any more questions to ask.
“Ahem,” The elderly man coughed and then asked, “So, how many missions have you accepted so far?”
“This is our first! You are the first mission for our mercenary group.” Gray Wolf grinned.
When he saw the elderly man’s expression change after receiving this response, Gray Wolf laughed. “Don’t worry, even though this is our first time as mercenaries, our experience is far superior to that of mercenaries.”
“Haha, sure.”
The elderly man smiled stiffly and nodded. He wanted to get in the carriage and ask his master how he found this group of mercenaries who had never taken any missions to escort them. This was a big gamble!
“You’re registered as mercenaries in Cardinal Point City, so are you from there?” The elderly man asked again.
“No, we just moved there not long ago. We’re not mercenaries by nature.” Luo Yu grinned. “Our master sent us out to gain experience; so, after forming this mercenary group, we are free to accept missions.”
The middle-aged man in the beast carriage was taken aback when he heard this. So they all had the same master? And their master was the one who sent them out to gain experience?
If they were guards, they should have been by their master’s side, protecting him. Why would they be allowed to wander outside to gain experience? This was very strange.
The elderly man was also taken aback. When he was about to ask again, the galloping spirit beast abruptly stopped, almost throwing the defenceless elderly man out. Gu Mo, who was nearby, held him steady and pushed him into the beast carriage behind him. “Get in, don’t come out!”
The elderly man was shoved in, and his face changed to one of fear. The middle-aged man in the beast carriage was also tense. His eyes shrank as he solemnly opened the curtain and looked out.
There were over thirty people, all dressed in black! His expression became glum, his eyes were fixed on the outside, and for a moment he sensed that even the air was filled with the chilling killing intent.
Du Fan shook his fan and smiled as he rode his horse. “This journey is boring enough. If not for an ambush like this, I don’t see the point in accepting this mission.”
“Exactly, I’ve been waiting for a long time, and I can’t believe they’re just now coming out.” Luo Yu grinned. He rubbed his hands together and stared with excitement at the men in black in front of him.
“Gu Mo and Fan Lin protect the beast carriage. These people will allow us to practice our skills and move our muscles!” As he spoke, Luo Yu took the lead in jumping up from the back of the horse and attacking the man in black in front of him.
“I’ve been suppressing my anger the entire journey!” He clenched his fist and punched a man in the face, knocking him over.
