Chapter 45 I want to protect you (7800, ask the moon(1/2)

How much time does it take to cross the entire continent?

The Red Hand didn't know the answer to this question, but to this day, he did take his guys through most of the continent, from the southern cape to the edge of the northeastern region of Aion.

Red Hand is the code name for mercenary used by men. He is a demonizer. His arm has undergone abortion due to the aberration of demonization. He has become as huge as the Purgatory Flame Demon and as red as blood. In addition to being as strong as a giant, he can also control various flame abilities.

He wanted to call himself "Yanquan", which was more appropriate and more handsome, but the nickname was called arithmetic by others, so today, he could only recognize this name.

Thanks to this hand, the red hand cannot enter the inner city of the mobile city, and the prostitutes in the outer city are unwilling to entertain him. Even if they eat on weekdays, they will be very troublesome, and they will even burn the table if they accidentally.

But thanks to this hand, the man who was originally a farmer's son traveled most of the continent, from the original mercenary boy to the leader of the mercenary group, has seen countless scenery that a farmer's son would never see.

Hongshou did not hate his demonization, nor did he hate his hands, but he was older. A heart-light mercenary in his forties was almost at its last peak. Later, the erosion of demonization and the pain of source energy would tear his soul.

Even if it is not for himself or for his comrades in his mercenary group, he must find a place to settle down, which can be regarded as finding a cemetery for himself to take care of his elderly care and be buried.

After fighting for a lifetime, he planned to stop.

Avend City, the industrial city in the south of the empire, is the place of retirement chosen by the red hands. After all, this place is barely considered a progressive area. You should know that in the central area where the empire is located, slavery is still implemented most of the time, and the demonized people do not even have the audit of the untouchables, and can only become slaves to the nobles and rich people.

Although Evande City is also going to be exploited, it is at most thrown into slums and becoming a cheap factory labor force.

The Red Hand Mercenary Group has taken root in the outer city area here. After several years of operation, it has become a force that dominates the outer city area.

During this period, the group's good players, "Quick Sword" Cicero, "Hot Sword" Salar and others left the mercenary group one after another and lived a retirement life.

This is not surprising, even the order of Red Hand himself, he planned to disband the mercenary group bit by bit, and then transform the remaining personnel into the Red Hand gang, which is a rare ending for this Demonized Mercenary Group.

Hongshou is really tired and old, and he doesn't want to fight anymore. The demonized mercenaries do everything and kill everything. It sounds very refreshing and arousing revenge. But only crazy people like this kind of life of licking blood at the edge of the knife, because it means that others can do anything to them, and they can kill them without reason.

What's more, if you want to climb up, you must become a dog of nobles or officers, become their tools and gloves for doing dirty work.

He really didn't want to be a timid dog, he just wanted to live a peaceful life and then die in a dull manner.

Unfortunately, in this world, I often don’t want to give such a dull ending.

There was an accident in Ewende City, and the nobles intended to attack the demonized people. Many local gangs began to capture the lonely and helpless children and marginal people in the slums. Some of the families of the members of the Red Hand Mercenary Group were arrested. This undoubtedly caused the rebellion of the elderly mercenary group: they started a war with the guards of Ewende City, just to regain their families.

The hard battle, especially the participation of the Earl's Mansion Guards, completely suppressed the mercenary group.

The Red Hands and his group were indeed strong enough. The leader was Xin Guang, and the main members were Linghui. If they were not demonized, they would be enough to be the private army of the nobles. However, Earl Earl Everde was a hero from the Imperial Sect. His guard equipment was too good and could not be blocked by the mercenary group.

If there was no problem with the local nobles, there were warships siege the city, and a strong man raided the Earl's Mansion to attack Earl Everde, causing a group of guards to panic and return to defense. It is very likely that the Red Hand and his group would be destroyed on the spot.

Then, it was said that the Count was dead and the entire Everde City was in chaos. The Red Hand Mercenary Group took advantage of the chaos of the mobile city and seized a medium-sized mobile warship and fled Everde City. The Everde's defenders were so chaotic that they could not send their pursuers to escape safely.

After a few years of peace, they became homeless wild dogs and were wanted by the Empire.

Fortunately, on the margins of the Southern Confederacy, the empire's wanted was almost the same. Hongshou and others were not afraid of being chased and wiped out. Even though life was getting sad again, they had to start working on tasks to support their families.

After doing several old jobs and helping some fixed villages to wipe out the surrounding source energy beasts, Hongshou himself received a letter.

A letter from the old brother in the group, Cicero, the fast sword.

On the deck of a medium-sized mobile warship with many additional ships, a middle-aged man with gray hair and an old face silently took out a wrinkled letter paper with his left hand. His red right hand was as huge as a giant, with hideous carapaces and barbs everywhere, and was now holding a big sword tightly.

The red hand stared at the letter paper in his hand, with the man's crooked handwriting on it.

The whole letter was written in a relatively standard way, and after reading the letter carefully, Hongshou couldn't help but sigh.

The organization behind Cicero did not lie. Professor Svetre is indeed a person who can change the fate of the demonized. He really wanted to know what kind of paradise it was, whether it was as beautiful as many demonized people mentioned, with quiet villages, vast wheat fields, and lush cornfields.

I heard from other demonized people that the Xiguang Society is still building a huge mobile city that allows all demonized people to live on it.

What a pity.

This is a letter from half a year ago, and he received it only two months ago.

He missed that Spark Expedition.

But even if he received it on the spot, Hongshou could not guarantee that he could go to the wandering city smoothly.

After all, the Red Hand Mercenary Group is not just a mercenary group.

“Is the fuel enough?”

He asked a member of the group beside him and got a rather bad answer: "How can it be? I guess it will be stopped again in the Yanshuang Army to trade some source energy crystals with the locals."

"It's not me, the commander of the group. Although we are indeed not evil people, we have not enough rations to accept so many demonized people on board the ship!"

The red hand was silent.

Since leaving Evande City, the Red Hand Mercenary Group has taken over a group of demonized people in Evande City and rescued them from the city that has fallen into madness.

This is not a bad thing. After all, the demonizers who boarded the ship will do some work. Cooperating with the mercenary group, life on the ship is much more comfortable.

But it eventually slowed down the speed of the mercenary group.

Moreover, since the Wandering City appeared, the number of demonized people leaving the mobile city and village has increased. When Red Hand, who received Cicero's letter, and others were heading towards the eastern Xiguang Mountains, occasionally one or two teams of demonized people who were also rushing towards the Xiguang Mountains.

These demonized teams either escaped from the city or spontaneously wanted to move forward. In short, they were all chasing the glory of Xiguang Society and wanted to go to the legendary paradise of equality.

For those demonized teams who want to go along the way, or take refuge, avoid slave hunters, Red Hands always refuse to accept everyone.

To this day, including the mercenary group and family members, there are more than a thousand demonized people on the entire Red Hand ship, and the daily food and energy required is not a small amount.

"But if we leave these teams of demonized people behind the hunt, what's the difference between us and beasts?"

Regarding the complaints from the members of the group, the old man could only sigh: "Aren't we just not wanting to be bad beasts, so we have persisted all the way and made a living with the sword in our hands?"

This immediately made the members of the group a little embarrassed: "I didn't blame you, the leader, I just wanted to complain if I couldn't eat enough..."

"I understand, I understand..."

How long does it take to cross the entire continent?

The Red Hand didn't know, but the Red Hand Mercenary Group was driving at full speed, driving on a mobile warship for more than two months before reaching the northeastern area of ​​the central plain from the southern border of the empire, which was still quite a distance from the end of the continent.

Next, they would repair it in the Yanshuang Army area, and then continue to move towards the east and enter the area where the Xiguang Society is located.

At that time, perhaps golden wheat ears would welcome their arrival.

But before that, they need to deal with some more dangerous situations.

"Captain!"

A young woman walked down the guard post. She was thin and blind, but the remaining eye was as bright as a golden gem. The female demonizer gasped and came to Hongshou with a nervous look on her face. She swallowed her saliva and reported: "It appeared again! That shadow was still following us, and another small ship following me was destroyed!"

"Jin Tong, calm down...you mean, that shadow hasn't left yet?"

Frowning frowned, anger erupted in his heart. The gray-haired old man subconsciously clasped the sword, trying to fight to the death with the shadow who killed many compatriots.

But he comforted the other party with a gentle voice as possible, "We are about to leave the border of the empire, he is still chasing us, and this time he directly destroyed a small ship?"

"yes!"

The golden-eyed woman nodded in panic: "What a big explosion! You may not be able to see the commander, but he really destroyed the small ship in an instant... This shadow is too strong, we are powerless to resist!"

His eyes were closed and his red hands pondered.

In fact, there is not only one Red Hand warship. While accepting the demonized and marching towards the Xiguang Society, there are also other demonized people who have obtained the warships and warships for various reasons.

Of course, most of them were small ships, such as Red Hand, which had no medium and large warships that were taken from Evande City, and all the small ships followed the mercenary group.

However, starting two weeks ago, a strange shadow followed closely behind this small fleet of demonized people.

At the beginning, it was just a simple harassment and shock.

But soon, the shadow began to kill people, spreading fear and panic in the fleet.

He killed people and quietly hung the body on the flag on the deck; he destroyed all kinds of equipment on the ship, and the engines of several small ships were dismantled with key parts, and violent explosions occurred.

He even directly attacked the few captains who could control warships and caused the ship to break down.

The warship where the Red Hand was located accepted many demonized people who had to abandon the ship because of this kind of accident, which was also the reason why they did not prepare enough food.

Several old mercenaries sent to other ships died because of this, which made Hongshou and others very angry.

More importantly, the atmosphere of the entire fleet became in panic all day long, and all the demonized people were extremely nervous, and many people even deepened their demonization symptoms.

If it weren't for the version of Ember Fire 2.49 that Professor Svedre had spread throughout the continent, most of the people in the entire fleet would probably have died due to madness.

Just a shadow played a whole fleet of two or three thousand people in their hands.

Taking a deep breath to suppress his anger, the Red Hand speculated that the shadow should be a secret force of the empire, but strangely, this secret force did not seriously prevent him and others from leaving the empire, but allowed them to head towards the border.

But now, he started to take action again and showed strength far better than before. This shadow directly destroyed a small ship and killed more than 200 people on the ship.

The old man clenched his fists, but he had no choice.

He couldn't even figure out the other party's purpose.

"accelerate!"

Repressing anger and confusion, Hongshou could only order like this: "It's very close to Yanshuang Corps, let's talk about it after leaving the border of the empire!"

The fleet accelerated, squandering fuel, and the mobile warships spewed out loud whistling, which was the sound of the water that cooled the heart of the furnace evaporated into steam and blew out of the pipes.

This is indeed the border of the empire. They soon saw that the Yanshuang army was still part of the empire in name, but since 150 years ago, the Yanshuang army, which was supervised by the empire, was expelled, even if it was essentially independent.

After entering Yanshuang Army, as long as the Empire does not want to go to war with Yanshuang Army, no matter how cold-blooded and ruthless the secret troops are, they will never take action and cause conflicts.

Standing on the deck, the red hand could already see the low jungle behind the dividing river. The mobile warships needed too much fuel to advance at full speed. Even if the enemy retreated, they had to find villages or mobile cities as fast as possible to obtain enough fuel and energy so that they could go to the Xiguang Society.

After fighting for a lifetime, he really no longer wants to fight anymore. I hope that the Xiguang Society is really a place where the demonized people can live quietly as Cicero said.

Thinking of this, Hongshou forced himself not to think about the explosive ships, the roar that faintly passed by his ears, he did not listen to the screams from Jintong, and recalled those dead comrades.

He just closed his eyes, prayed, praying that he and others could come to a safe place as fast as possible.

Pray that you and others can survive.

But praying is useless.

At this moment, the attack of the mysterious shadow suddenly stopped. Just like every time before, this shadow clearly had the ability to surpass the entire demonized team, but it always did not really take action. It just created panic, just like a wolf pack driving away the flock of sheep, driving the entire fleet in the direction they wanted.

What exactly does he want to do?
To be continued...
