Chapter 351: 351
The man’s voice turned chilly as he spoke . “For the sake of the mission, please let go of your prejudice against each other and cooperate well with one another . I will give everyone a satisfactory remuneration once this mission is completed . ”
All the leaders indicated that they would fully cooperate with the other groups . No one would make life difficult when money was involved, even if they had disagreements before that .
When he was satisfied with the preparation, the client led everyone out of the city . However, he did not say where they were headed, and he only told everyone to follow them in their carriages .
All the mercenaries traveled in their respective carriages when they left the Black City .
Horses and carriages were the mercenaries’ basic equipment as they often travel to faraway places .
Shen Yanxiao rode in the same carriage as Du Lang and Evil Wolf . The Cave Wolves Mercenary Group had thirteen wagons . Three of those were to carry their food and daily necessities, and the other ten was for their transportation . Except for Du Lang’s carriage, the other nine carriages had about six to seven people in it . One of them would drive the wagon .
Five of their members also rode on horses, and they traveled in between those carriages .
The mercenaries’ carriages were not an item of luxury, but they were sturdy . Therefore, the seats were rather bumpy as they journeyed on the road .
Shen Yanxiao was not a spoiled brat, and so she did not mind the condition of the carriage . She sat at the back and eavesdropped on Du Lang and Evil Wolf’s conversation .
“Leader, why do you think the client won’t tell us where we’re going? Why did they only tell us to follow their lead?” Evil Wolf was curious . They did not know their destination, and thus, they would not know the length of the journey . The aimlessness of the trip made him feel uneasy .
Du Lang leaned against the carriage with his arms crossed . Then he looked at the scenery outside the window with an air of indifference before he said, “The Phoenix is a rare magical beast, one that none had seen in centuries . Perhaps they had paid a lot of money to find its location . They did not tell us because they did not want anyone to leak that information to other people outside this group . ”
The Phoenix was so rare that news about its lair would probably attract the attention of tens of thousands of people who would snatch it at any given opportunity .
Other than the advanced-level experts, there were still many other powerful beings in the Longxuan Empire . If they had wanted to grab the Phoenix, no one could probably stop them .
Evil Wolf frowned . Du Lang’s explanation was quite reasonable . Even though their group had signed a nondisclosure agreement with the client, there might be unscrupulous characters amongst the large group of mercenaries who would not honor the deal . If they knew the exact location of the Phoenix’s nest, they might even sell that information to the highest bidder .
Most of the mercenaries were loyal and righteous men . However, one could not discount the probability of a few bad apples in the mix .
“Leader, what do you think of our odds in this mission?” Evil Wolf asked .
No one had seen a Phoenix, and at that moment, they only knew that their target was an eighth-ranked, high-level magical beast . There was no guarantee that they would succeed even though they had a lot of people with them .
Du Lang replied, “If the information that the client had given us was accurate, then we should have enough manpower to take the Phoenix down . ”
