Chapter 347 Encirclement and Counter-Encirclement
Not far after entering the entrance passage, another vast cave suddenly opened up. On both sides of the passage, large prismatic crystals "grew" on the ground. These crystals emitted a dreamlike light, illuminating The whole cave was lit up.
Looking at the pitted ground around them and the adventurers digging for crystals not far away, Tang En and Fiona both showed strange smiles.
"Wow! Isn't this the light crystal that boy just sold? It's all over the floor!?"
Brian's eyes widened and he shouted: "You can just pick it up here, but he actually dares to sell it for a hundred gold coins!? Is he crazy?! I'm going to settle the score with him!"
"So, it's the novices who are being fooled."
Tang En shrugged: "Who would have known that these light crystals are everywhere before entering here?"
Looking at the adventurers digging for light crystals, Fiona's eyes became sharp: "Lord, by rights, these light crystals are also your property, right?"
"That's true, but..."
Tang En patted Fiona on the shoulder and said, "Don't be too fussy. It's convenient for others."
"But……"
"Don't forget, we are still counting on them to help us explore the underground world. Let's consider this small favor as a gift from us."
Seeing that Tang En was not going to pursue the issue of property ownership, Fiona looked at the adventurers with some reluctance. She always felt that her family's property had been robbed, and she felt extremely distressed.
Seeing her like this, Tang En was both angry and amused. Fiona really meant every dollar she spent.
but……
An idea suddenly popped into Tang En's mind - her personality was quite suitable for being a housekeeper.
Uncle Depp asked: "Lord, should we also dig some light crystals?"
Although the guards also prepared torches and oil lamps for lighting, compared to light crystals, light crystals are obviously more convenient.
"Then go dig."
Tang En nodded: "Don't wait too long."
Uncle Depp waved his hand: "Digging for light crystals."
The members of the guard immediately dispersed in groups of four and began to search for the small light crystals scattered around - those huge light crystal prisms that they could not even surround, and the lack of tools were impossible to process now.
Elsa's eyes were shining, and she was excited and eager to try: "Can I go too?"
"certainly."
Tang En, who was discussing with Fiona how to develop light crystals, casually agreed. At this moment, he suddenly came back to his senses, turned around and his eyes widened instantly: "Elsa, don't—"
However, it was already too late. Elsa, who was in high spirits, walked up to a huge prismatic light crystal, and then waved her fist with a "Hey" sound!
The light crystal exploded with a "click", and the fragments flew in all directions, piercing into the surrounding cave walls. Then Elsa turned over on the ground for a while, holding the most beautiful light crystal in her hands. The fragment returned happily.
"Well……"
Tang En covered his eyes and couldn't bear to look directly.
"Hey! New here! What are you doing!?"
The movement here attracted the attention of some people in the distance. A group of heavily armed people quickly ran over and shouted at Tang En: "Did you pay the money? Are you just digging for light crystals!?"
"Pay?"
Tang En looked confused.
Fiona was dumbfounded. This was Tang En's property. What would he pay?
"Captain, I just saw that there was such a big piece of light crystal here."
An adventurer gestured and said, "It can be sold for at least five thousand gold coins!"
"Great, did you hear that?"
The captain said arrogantly: "Five thousand gold coins, stop inking and pay for it quickly!"
Fiona couldn't help but retorted loudly: "Why are you asking us for money!?"
"Why? Huh, it seems like you are a newcomer who doesn't know anything! If it weren't for the fact that you are a beautiful woman, I wouldn't bother to answer your question."
The captain glanced at Tang En and the others, snorted coldly, and said: "This light crystal mine has been occupied by our Sissa Power mercenary group! Do you understand!? All those who want to mine light crystals here must You must pay our Sisa Power! Ten gold coins for a standard unit of light crystal!"
"The power of Sisa?"
Fiona frowned and leaned into Tang En's ear and said: "Locke told me before that the Force of Sisa is a very famous mercenary group, as famous as the Sword of Qianji and the Blade of the Originator. They are very powerful. They are powerful and compete with each other, especially among female customers. The competition is very fierce, making many women love and hate them."
The corners of Tang En's mouth twitched non-stop. At this moment, the names of these mercenary groups made him feel the bad taste of the will of the universe again.
He came to his senses and said, "Have you ever obtained a fee permit from the lord of this place?"
"Huh? Lord of this place? What a joke! The underground world is a newly developed area. Here, whoever discovers the treasure first and has the ability to hold it will own the treasure! This light crystal mine is the wealth that belongs to our Sisa power! And I, Justin, am the captain in charge here!”
After Justin finished speaking, he looked at Tang En sullenly: "Or are you planning to take action against us, Sissa's power?"
As soon as he finished speaking, his team members rushed over not far away. Dozens of sparse people quickly gathered and surrounded Tang En and the others.
"The ugly words are ahead," Justin pulled out his long sword and blew a breath. While wiping the sword, he glanced sideways at Vanilla, estimated Vanilla's combat effectiveness, and said: "Although my team is at the tail end of the power of Sisa, But on average, they all have black iron-level combat capabilities. I dare not say anything else. It is no problem to deal with some miscellaneous fish who take risks as a joke. Do you, an orc bodyguard like you, dare to become our enemy?"
In his eyes, Twain with Fiona Elsa and the others was obviously an ignorant little nobleman out for adventure, and among them, the only one with fighting ability was probably the orc bodyguard - by the way, Kate Cat Aren’t all ethnic groups very slim and slender?
What the hell is this muscular Nekojiro?
"Black iron level... ha."
Tang En let out an unexplained laugh and stopped Vanilla who wanted to step forward to take action.
Fiona frowned slightly. A large mercenary group like Sissa's Power only sent Black Iron-level members to station here?
Tang En looked at Justin curiously: "What do you mean now...are you trying to block the road and steal money?"
Justin shook his weapon and looked at Tang En provocatively: "Don't you understand the current situation? If you destroy our minerals, you will have to pay money - even if you are not afraid of us, we still have a strong main force behind us, we - —”
"team leader……"
"Don't interrupt me, I haven't finished speaking yet!"
"But, Captain..."
A mercenary swallowed hard, pulled up Justin who was foaming at the mouth, pointed outside and said: "We...are surrounded..."
"Surrounded? Of course we surrounded them, are you stupid?"
"No...I mean...we are surrounded..."
Justin was stunned, took a closer look, and suddenly took a breath of air.
When, they were actually surrounded by those people! ?
A group of soldiers in bright silver armor had already drawn their weapons. They stood quietly outside the mercenary group without saying a word, as if they were waiting for some order.
Justin was actually frightened by such silent troops.
This unified equipment and badges are clearly a well-organized army!
Look at how sophisticated the equipment of these guys is - even after entering the dark underground, the brand-new armor is still spotless, and it still exudes a faint glow under the light crystal. At first glance, it is not ordinary! What makes Justin even more jealous are the weapons in their hands!
The weapons in their hands exude the light of the elements!
This means that they are all equipped with magic weapons!
Damn that's an expensive magic weapon!
Can the person who can equip his troops with magic weapons be an ordinary person?
"gentlemen……"
Justin forced out an ugly smile: "I think... we have some misunderstanding..."
"There seems to be a misunderstanding."
Just as Justin showed a smile, he saw Tang En raise his hand: "Hit me!"
"yes!"
The soldiers who had been silent all this time showed ferocious smiles upon hearing this, and rushed forward with their fists sharpened.
"I'll fight!"
Locke jumped directly into the crowd. Relying on the powerful defense of his new armor, he could even ignore the swords coming from around him, grab the heads of those people, and knock them to the ground with one blow.
Danny jumped back and landed on top of the light crystal. He bent his bow and set an arrow in one go, and several arrows shot through the air in an instant!
"middle!"
During the chaos, several people fell to the ground, covering their knees.
The mercenaries immediately panicked.
"Kill the ranger quickly!"
"Ranger! Ranger!"
"Get through me first!"
Uncle Depp swung his tower shield and knocked several people away. He was a Bronze-level mercenary, but with the help of his new equipment, he turned out to be a Black Iron-level mercenary!
Locke laughed and said: "Haha! It's so cool! The new armor is so cool!"
The new armor made of universal alloy is not only light and does not affect mobility at all, but its defensive power is only higher than the previous full-body armor made of fine iron. It is simply an artifact for warriors!
Locke's words are also the voices of others. Relying on powerful equipment, even though their average combat effectiveness is lower than that of Sisa's team, the weapons infused with the power of black iron-level blood do not cause any damage when they are cut on the new equipment. None, and even the impact was completely absorbed by the leather lining, causing no harm at all.
Like tigers rushing into a flock of sheep, they killed the mercenaries.
What is the Tiger and Wolf Master?
The current Ellington Guard is undoubtedly a force of tigers and wolves.
They have been trained for a long time but have never been in actual combat. Now they are like sharks smelling blood, completely releasing their accumulated potential!
