Holy Domain Frenzy

Chapter 16: Mercenary Hunters' First Hunt

An ordinary 'fight' turned into a bloody crime.

Fights between mercenaries happen all the time, but deaths are very rare. After all, no one will fight to the death without a conflict of interests, especially if they encounter trouble in the wild. It is also an unwritten rule for mercenaries to support each other in case of trouble.

"Wait, today's business is not over yet!" The Wolf Fox mercenary soldiers didn't forget to make a threat as they rushed out of the tavern, carrying Solich.

Of course, it's not over yet!

After their mercenaries were publicly robbed of their weapons and injured in a tavern, how could the "Wild Wolf Fox" group tolerate this? The two deputy heads of the mercenary group, "Crazy Wolf" Iluda and "Fire Wolf" Aisaia, led more than 200 angry Wild Wolf Fox mercenaries to block the door of the Bloody Thorn mercenary group that night, demanding that the "Bloody Thorn" group hand over the injured mercenaries and pay compensation.

"Stabbing Blood" knew he was in the wrong but could not hand over the person, otherwise he would lose face in the entire mercenary industry. Cui Sidi was even more furious, as this incident was caused by his own weapon. He led the mercenaries of "Stabbing Blood" out of the door and prepared to fight with the "Wild Wolf Fox" people.

A large-scale melee between mercenaries was about to break out.

Only the elders of the two sides, Fox Valerio and Kekel, did not show up. The two sides confronted each other and scolded each other, but no one dared to start the fight first.

The large-scale confrontation between the two sides immediately alerted the city defense army.

Due to the intervention of the city defense army, the battle ultimately failed to take place, but the leader of the garrison in the city, a powerful 8th-level warrior named Kun Tuo, had to personally intervene and mediate.

Because the enchanted sword that caused the dispute between the two sides later disappeared in the chaos, the claims of the Blood Stabbing side have no longer been confirmed. The only thing that can be confirmed is that Saliq tried to steal the weapons of the Wolf Fox mercenary soldiers, which led to a fight between the two sides, and the Blood Stabbing mercenaries seriously injured Solich in the chaos.

Obviously in the wrong, the head of the blood-stained mercenary group, Kekel, was forced to concede and pay the "Wolf Fox" 400 gold coins to settle the matter.

Although the war did not break out, a grudge was formed, and both sides were filled with anger. Therefore, the small friction between mercenary soldiers continued for a long time.

Because it was triggered by the sword suspected to have been lost by Cresti, both mercenary groups suspected that the Blue Maiden was behind it. However, the Blue Maiden mercenary group remained aloof throughout the entire process, without any evidence of their involvement.

They never imagined that the whole thing was a private action by Tony and Arthur, two little bastards. After successfully sowing discord, they were severely restrained by Cairns and Randall before they could profit from the subsequent actions. After all, Arthur is a child, and his clever little scheme will be immediately exposed once he profits from it.

Through this incident, Cairns and Randall realized that they had underestimated Arthur, who always brought unexpected surprises.

The bar incident that occurred during this accident restored a delicate balance among the three B-level mercenary groups in Hua'ao City, who were mutually antagonistic but were powerless against each other.

Meanwhile, the perpetrator of the incident, Arthur, was speeding through the dense oak forest, deftly leaping over clumps of shrubs and tangled vines on the ground.

Running Arthur was wearing a yellowish-brown leather armor made of some unknown animal skin, with the leather still showing the outer edges of the hair. A blue hairband tied up his shoulder-length black hair. His body had grown a full size since he first arrived at the mercenary group, becoming a half-grown boy, no longer a skinny and shriveled figure.

Arthur took down a black iron bow from behind him while running, and a sharp arrow almost simultaneously shot out from the bowstring.

Ahead of the arrow, a black-backed boar was bending its head and straining to pull a tall oak tree. With each thrust of its sharp tusks, it left a deep groove in the hard roots of the oak tree.

Blackback boar is a first-level monster. Although it is not very intelligent, it has a violent temperament. Its pair of sharp tusks are comparable to a fine long spear, and its thick skin is as hard as iron armor, making it difficult for ordinary swords and swords to hurt it. An adult blackback boar weighs half a ton and is the size of a calf. When it is in a frenzy, two or three human soldiers of the same level cannot get close to it. Even so, because of its skin and tusks, it is still the favorite of hunters and mercenaries, who are willing to take risks to hunt it.

Hearing the sound of the arrow, the black-backed boar stopped digging and turned its head. At that moment, the arrow pierced into the boar's neck, and the tremendous inertia directly knocked the boar to the ground.

The black-backed boar shook its head and stood up instantly, and the sharp arrow fell to the ground with its head shaking. The seemingly swift and powerful arrow only caused a minor skin injury to the black-backed boar. The boar then noticed the human teenager who had attacked it, let out a low growl of pain, and rushed towards Arthur.

In the midst of running, Arthur's speed did not decrease, and the bowstring on his hand did not stop. Three sharp arrows flew out successively, and the three arrows almost formed a line and shot at the black-backed boar.

"Samsung linked!" A sudden exclamation came from the branches of a tall oak tree not far behind Arthur, "The stingy guy Yilaya even handed over his own skills to that little guy."

"Didn't you even use your 'ghostly stealth' to save your life? Otherwise, how could he run so easily?"

"I lost to him. Tony is always the most trustworthy mercenary. I just didn't expect him to learn so fast."

Hiding in the trees were Tony and Angus. This was Arthur's first time going out on his own for training, and it was also Randall's idea that only through dangerous trials and life-and-death battles could the strongest mercenaries be trained. But he was not at ease, so he sent Tony and Angus to follow them secretly.

Is it too dangerous for him to deal with a first-level monster by himself? Angus's tone was tinged with concern.

Tony wiped his nose and said carelessly, "Watch out, this kid is a genius. In just half a year, he has already become a first-level warrior with his qi flowing through his body! How long did it take you to build up your muscles and qi flow through your body? Three years or five years?"

While the two were arguing in the tree, Arthur had thrown away his bow and arrow and rushed to the front of the black-backed boar. The previous three arrows had almost all hit the same spot, and the last arrow had penetrated more than half a foot deep into the back of the boar's neck. As the boar ran, it violently swayed, and thick blood was thrown out as it ran.

Arthur had completely enraged this first-level monster, and the boar roared and rammed into Arthur's abdomen, with a pair of tusks like two sharp blades ready to slice through Arthur's body.

At the moment when the tusk almost touched his body, Arthur's body made a flexible rotation and avoided the impact of the tusked pig.

Facing the turned back of the beast, Arthur weighed his straight-blade hunting knife more than a foot long in his hand and smiled disdainfully
