Arknights is too real, right?

The next day, Xia Feng disappeared from Shendi City.

No one knew where he went. Before leaving, he only said hello to Turtle.

Xia Feng only said that he would go out for something and would be back in 7 days.

When Guigui told Wei Na about this in confusion, Xia Feng was nowhere to be found.

20 kilometers outside Victoria's southern border.

In a canyon with complex terrain.

The sky was dark, and the army that could not be seen beyond the horizon was staying here at this time. As far as the eye could see, there were people who were fully armed and holding various weapons.

The racial characteristics of these people are very special. If I have to say it, it is a bit scary. Of course, not all of them are weird, there are also some normal people.

These soldiers all have intricate and twisted horns on their heads, and there are dark patterns on the horns.

The air was filled with dense Origin Stone fluctuations. This force was the "reinforcement" Kazdaele had assembled outside Victoria, the Sakaz Force.

Xia Feng was sitting next to a withered tree trunk, holding a steamed bun in his hand and nibbling on it.

In addition to the Shenyue Sword he carried with him, he also placed a bulging mountaineering bag on his left hand.

At this time, a big man with a bandage on his head sat next to Xia Feng with a piece of bread, chatting casually while eating.

"Brother, you look a bit unfamiliar. You are not Sakaz. You are a new foreign mercenary."

"yes."

The big guy seemed very talkative.

"Brother, at least for a period of time we are comrades-in-arms. What is your name?"

Xia Feng finished the buns in two mouthfuls and patted the dregs on his hands.

"My name is Zhang San."

Hearing the name, the big man laughed.

"Haha, brother, your name is too careless, Zhang San, hahaha."

Xia Feng calmly took out the kettle, drank a few sips, and wiped his mouth.

"Isn't it better to be hasty? At least it will be easier to carve a tombstone after I die."

"Hey, do you think there will be tombstones for people like us?"

"Well, you're right."

Unlike Victoria's army, there are a large number of mercenaries in Kazdel's army, and of course, most of them are of Sakaz race.

For historical reasons, most of the Sarkazi in the world today are infected.

Objectively speaking, this is both unfortunate and lucky.

Ore sickness will greatly shorten their lifespan and cause internal organ failure. At the same time, the Sakaz are naturally adaptable to Originium technology, which allows them to protect themselves no matter where they are in the world.

At the cost of lifespan, he has gained a strong ability to protect himself. Of course, this power will also be used by those who are interested in war.

In contrast, the so-called loyalty of Sakaz soldiers is also very weak, which is why there are a large number of mercenaries in the army.

Rather than risking their lives for loyalty, some people are more willing to risk their lives in exchange for money.

A few days ago, Kazdaele's troops had completed their assembly outside Victoria.

Although this army that had just completed the civil war suffered heavy casualties, the surviving soldiers were very motivated to fight. In order to expand their strength, the monarch Trexis who accompanied the army was still recruiting a large number of mercenaries.

Under the dead tree, the big man seemed to be very interested in Xia Feng.

"Hey, Zhang San, since you are a mercenary, you should have companions. Why are you eating alone?"

Xia Feng leaned against the tree trunk and closed his eyes.

"I have no companions, it's just me."

"You're the only one? What kind of mercenary team is that?"

"Can't one be a mercenary?"

"Oh, of course, but we generally call people like you lone wolves."

Seeing that Xia Feng remained silent, the big man moved forward again.

"Hey, no one cares about you even if you die alone. Think about it, do you want to join my mercenary team?"

Xia Feng refused with his eyes closed.

"No, I am a tough person and will kill my companions."

The big man grinned as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

"Hahaha, being tough is a good thing. Unfortunately, everyone in our team is tough. I'm afraid you won't be able to defeat anyone."

"That's not necessarily true. My life is tougher than anyone else's. Maybe I can kill this army of hundreds of thousands of people."

The big guy thought Xia Feng was humorous at first, but the more they talked, the more he felt there was something wrong with Xia Feng's head.

"Oh, killing hundreds of thousands of troops? Unless there is a natural disaster, it is impossible for this army to disintegrate. If you insist on killing, I am afraid you can only kill Lord Tresis first before you have any hope. ."

Xia Feng opened his eyes and looked at the dark sky.

"You're right."

"cut."

The big man shook his arm, turned and left.

In his opinion, Xia Feng was neither Sakaz nor very strong. He had seen many such stupid young mercenaries on the battlefield.

Everyone thought they were powerful and looked aloof, but when they finally died in a corner, there was no one to collect the body.

The troops stayed here for the next few days, and both soldiers and mercenaries complained about why they hadn't moved yet.

Only Xia Feng knew that Medes would not withdraw his defense easily.

As time passed day by day, Xia Feng remained very low-key on the periphery of the army as a mercenary.

This army is divided into two military camps. The Sakaz orthodox army led by Tresis personally numbers about 250,000 people, while the peripheral mercenaries are assigned tasks by dedicated personnel in the army, numbering about 40,000 people.

The military camp where the mercenaries are located has no military discipline at all. These guys who are stumbling around on the battlefield just want to make money through war.

The regular army in the other military camp is relatively well-disciplined, and mercenaries are not allowed to approach the headquarters guarded by the monarch's personal guards without permission.

The sky above the canyon is always cloudy, with no sun visible during the day and no moon at night.

Xia Feng didn't have a tent or even daily necessities. He just sat by the dead tree, sometimes meditating, sometimes closing his eyes to rest.

During this period, many people tried to strike up a conversation with him, but he ignored them all coldly.

Of course, some people had bad ideas about him. In the dead of night, someone quietly reached out to his bulging backpack.

However, after dawn, his backpack was still intact, but there would be reports of someone mysteriously missing in the military camp.

Counting the dates on the bracelet, Xia Feng was like a robot with a single action command.

He didn't need to survey the terrain or think about an escape route. There were only two things he needed to confirm, and they had already been done.

First, Tracys himself is on this team.

Second, have enough source stones on hand.

However, even though he was low-key enough to make people think that he was a mentally disturbed, homeless and naive mercenary, there was still an unexpected episode.

Just when Xia Feng's black and white twins reached dusk on the 29th day, he unexpectedly encountered two familiar faces in the team.

He had met these two people before in Colombia, in Ogur's bar to be precise.

Xia Feng still remembers their names.

The tall man with dark red hair is called Hedley.

And that fair-skinned woman is called Ines.

However, the tall and lanky man code-named W who was with them last time did not appear this time.
