The second volume is called "One Heart" Chapter 2: Reunion with an Old Friend
After receiving the parchment with the first mission recorded, he hid in a corner of the hall. A Feng couldn't wait for Xue Wuxia to read it before making an announcement, so he went straight to her and read it together. Xue Wuxia glanced at him, but didn't say anything. They were the most enthusiastic and eager among us to set up a mercenary group, and the first mission determined the overall difficulty of the mercenary group's mission. If the difficulty was too great, it meant that the next two missions would be more dangerous. It was normal to be nervous - we didn't have the financial resources to hire other players to help, and we were unwilling to easily absorb some unfamiliar players to join. Although we were lucky enough to win the championship of the Eastern Continent team competition, we were still a weak and vulnerable group with little capital to spend.
After reading the mission, the two people strangely did not announce the content of the mission. They stared at me with strange faces without saying a word, which made me feel creepy. What happened? Is the mission related to me? Could it be that they want to hunt down a necromancer like me who was exposed to the light? Could it be that the Mercenary Guild has been bought by the Western Church of Light and wants to take the initiative to kill me, the future Holy Undead Mage, in the bud ? Isn't this too despicable?
But then I thought it was impossible. Unless the high-ranking members of the Church of Light were to take action personally, other people could only destroy my body and could not cause any substantial harm to me, let alone affect my growth rate. If this was the mission, it would be too easy for us.
I was muttering to myself, and Xiao Niaoyi couldn't wait any longer. "Sister Wuxia, tell me what the mission is. Why are you just standing there staring at Ah Dai? He's not handsome, and there's nothing good about his face. What's so good about him?"
Although what I said was the truth, it was too direct. I am thin-skinned and would feel embarrassed in public. I couldn't argue with the outspoken Xiao Niao Yi Ren, so I had to vent my anger on A Feng, "Aren't you tired of looking at me every day? Do you want me to give you an autographed photo to keep with you?"
Xue Wuxia casually handed the parchment to Nan Feiyan next to her. She took a look at it and immediately looked up at me in surprise. My heart tightened. No way, could it be that the mission was really related to me?
Ah Feng laughed, walked over, and cupped his hands, "Congratulations, Ah Dai, this time you get to meet your old friend again, and we can settle all our grudges and hatreds. You can finally fulfill your wish of many days."
I was completely confused. "Stop laughing and talking nonsense. Explain clearly what you mean by reuniting with old friends or fulfilling a wish? I only know a few of you in Tian Xia. How can there be any 'old friends'?"
"You must remember the old silver wolf outside Chunfeng City. You hated it so much at that time that you swore to fight it to the death! Now the chance for revenge has finally come. Our first task is to destroy the silver wolf and obtain the magic crystal in its body. You two have a lot of followers. You are a perfect match. You must work harder for both the public and private!"
It was the old silver wolf. The scene of me facing hundreds of wild wolves alone seemed to reappear in front of my eyes. I also saw the playful look in the old silver wolf's eyes. Things are different now. I am now a boss. I command more than a thousand skeleton warriors and more than four hundred zombies. With the help of Afeng and others, I have enough strength to fight against the wolf pack. Even if it is a Warcraft, I don't have to give it face. There are only two of them, one big and one small. What is there to be afraid of?
The wolf pack is active on the grassland outside Chunfeng City. There are about two hundred wolves in size. Under the leadership of the old silver wolf, they always move in groups and act collectively. If there are too few players, they cannot deal with them, and if there are too many players, they cannot get much qualification value reward. Besides, there are many other better leveling places, so few people harass them. If I hadn't to complete the task this time, I would not have troubled it just for personal grudges. The current strength is not enough to scare it. I will wait until I summon a few bone dragons in the future to slaughter them indiscriminately, leaving no one alive. That kind of revenge is really satisfying.
With Yun Wuying, an excellent spy in charge of reconnaissance, we quickly figured out the wolves' movements and began to plan an ambush. Fighting them head-on is the worst strategy, and the way of war is to strive to achieve the greatest victory with the smallest loss.
I summoned more than 400 skeleton warriors and set up an ambush in a semicircle. Although zombies are powerful, the number that can be summoned at a time is too small to surround the wolf pack. In order to make them form a formation and lie on the ground honestly, I ran around for a long time. These guys with no IQ were too slow to react, and it was difficult to satisfy me. I finally barely passed Xue Wuxia's review.
Afeng, Nan Feiyan and Yun Wuying were responsible for luring the wolves. They were faster, while the others were not so mobile and were easily caught up by the wolves. In fact, I had the skill of "riding away from the dust", which should have made me the fastest mover. However, I was responsible for commanding the Undead Army and could not get away. Secondly, with my poor experience, I might accidentally run into the wolf's encirclement. Such a difficult task was not something I could undertake.
This area has been designated as the territory of the old silver wolf. There are no other wild wolves wandering around, which reduces a lot of trouble for us. We don't have to worry about being harassed by other beasts and exposing our targets. It is said that monsters are all intelligent creatures. If they notice something unusual, it is hard to say whether they will be fooled.
Information from the front kept coming back. Afeng and his men had successfully found the wolf pack and attracted their attention. They were rapidly approaching here. My heart was also excited. Last time it was the old guy who ambushed me, and this time it was my turn to repay him. I looked at the fifty elite skeleton warriors specially arranged around me. They will take on the task of eliminating wolves with me, and we must strangle the old silver wolf, the main culprit .
The "swish" sound was getting closer and closer, and the grass was constantly shaking, indicating that many creatures were moving in it. The terrain where I was ambushing was slightly higher, so I could just see the movements of the wolves from the fluctuations of the grass in the distance. This old silver wolf had some skills. He led the wolves to disperse but not be chaotic, cooperating left and right, echoing front and back, moving forward steadily, and slowly forming a two-wing encirclement for Afeng and the others. If it weren't for our surprise attack, they would definitely have been hard to escape.
There were too many wild wolves. Afeng and his men did not dare to stop for a moment. They fled in a very embarrassing manner and were gradually pulled closer. However, the wolves had not yet entered the ambush circle, so they could not rescue them for the time being, otherwise all their efforts would be in vain. They could only rely on themselves. I was enough for the front battlefield. Xue Wuxia led a few other people to go behind the wolves, ready to cut off their retreat and prevent the old silver wolf from escaping from here when he found out that the situation was not good.
After a few close calls, Afeng and his friends finally successfully lured the wolves into our ambush circle. At this time, the wolves were only a dozen meters away from my closest brother. If there was any delay, I would have to launch an attack in advance.
As soon as I saw the main force of the wolf pack entered the ambush circle, with my order, the surrounding bushes shook violently, and a large number of skeleton warriors crawled up from the ground. However, these idiots were too slow to react. It was difficult for them to lie on the ground and to get up. Before they could stand firmly, the skeleton warriors in the front row were knocked to the ground by the wild wolves rushing over. Fortunately, the wolves seemed to be frightened by the sudden appearance of the large number of bone frames. They stopped attacking, gathered together and looked around vigilantly, giving them a chance to get up again. Otherwise, they would have no hope of survival in the melee.
