I, a mercenary, became a beautiful silver-haired boy

Chapter 408

Although the commission to subjugate the giant dragon has been accepted, it does not mean that we have to subjugate the ice dragon immediately.

There are many things to deal with before that. In addition to the most basic things such as equipment purchase, the adventurers who participate in the subjugation have to go to the Winter Fortress in the south.

The Principality is relatively close to the Demon Continent in the north. The monsters here are much more active than those in Brooks City. Even in this cold area that is not suitable for biological life, there are quite a lot of ferocious monsters active everywhere.

In order to reduce the number of monsters and prevent the invasion of foreign enemies, various fortresses will be built near the border area, and a large number of soldiers will be stationed here to prevent accidents that may happen at any time.

The hiding place of the ice dragon seems to be near this fortress, which is quite a headache for the soldiers in the fortress, so this time the commission for subjugation needs to assist the local soldiers.

Before the official battle with the ice dragon, all the monsters nearby need to be cleared to prevent other monsters from making trouble when the battle is at the most critical stage.

It stands to reason that ordinary monsters will not be able to stand the breath of the ice dragon and flee from their original habitat, which will make the surrounding environment extremely chaotic.

But this ice dragon is quite cunning, with wisdom that is no less than or even greater than that of humans. It uses its coercion to drive away some monsters, making them flee madly.

And the other part of the monsters are threatened by it, taking away the feeling of subordinates, and letting them guard around them to delay the recovery time.

So if you go to war with the ice dragon directly, you will most likely fall into a state of being attacked from both sides, so it is necessary to clean up in advance.

Elena followed this team that took the initiative to chat, wearing an inconspicuous linen coat, walking at a distance from the back of the team. At first glance, he seemed to have nothing to do with anyone.

Looking at the teams around, it can be seen that everyone looks very impatient. Most adventurers are impatient, and not everyone can accept the task of "doing odd jobs" in the fortress.

"What a joke? We are here to slay dragons, who wants to help those rigid guys with chores? Shouldn't it be their job to clean up these low-level monsters? Why should we do it? And the reward is so low!"

The priest Kai in the team shouted with a sharp voice, but no one thought she was noisy. On the contrary, what she said was the real thoughts of most people here.

Adventurers pay attention to fame and fortune, which is why they take risks to fight dragons. If they succeed, they will have fame and wealth. If they fail, they will just return to dust.

But there is no such great benefit in helping the group of soldiers in the fortress. Not only is it tedious and boring, but the reward is far lower than the market price. After all, there will be an excuse that the soldiers themselves will help, and a lot of rewards will be deducted.

The free-spirited adventurer and the fierce soldier can be said to be two different people. Such existences collide with each other, let alone get along well, and it is good if there are no accidents.

But this country has a contract with the Adventurer's Guild, so it has to have some contact with the military. This is one of the ways this country, which is deeply troubled by monsters, deals with it.

If you want to participate in the crusade against the ice dragon, you must accept this rule with a pinch of your nose, otherwise you can just leave now.

"Senior Elena, what do you think?"

At this time, Noah, the captain, turned around and asked. During this short period of time, the team has treated Elena as a senior.

A lone silver medal adventurer is indeed stronger than any one of the team here, and the title of senior can barely be used.

But what makes Elena a little unhappy is that since he came out of the city, these people always ask for his opinion when there is something to discuss.

Ask it, Elena is not unwilling to answer with his own experience, but the most important thing is that every time he puts forward his opinions, the other party has never listened to them even once.

"Fighting the dragon is a big deal, doing odd jobs for others is a small matter. Since it is to prepare for the subsequent crusade, there is nothing wrong with working with these soldiers these days."

Ilana said lightly, and as expected, everyone showed complicated expressions when he said it, as if this person was really bold.

"That senior Ilana, you are a local and you don't know about this place. Even soldiers are divided into types.

The soldiers in other fortresses may be capable people with great sense of responsibility and strong action, but most of the guys in this winter fortress are scum.

The upper beam is not straight, and the lower beam is crooked. The governor of this fortress is a selfish fat man. Compared with guarding the border against the monster wave,Love, this man is more focused on satisfying his own desires.

Collecting protection fees from nearby villages, exploiting and brainwashing new soldiers, and making Winter Fortress a kingdom that belongs to him alone.

Influenced by this fat man, most of the soldiers there are selfish. Except for the minimum tasks to be completed, they are lazy most of the time, which is completely different from the soldiers in other fortresses. "

Amos said seriously that these are all rumors, but the credibility of the rumors is very high. After all, everyone who has been to Winter Fortress will say so.

"The Principality just watched this person do whatever he wants?"

Irena frowned and asked, but he regretted it when he said it. No matter where they are, there will always be some people who can escape the inspection of the superiors and do some bad things without people knowing.

Even if people have a low opinion of them, these rumors will never reach the top.

"There is no way. The governor has connections. He is one of the sons of an old duke. Anyway, this place is remote, and the royal family of the principality can't reach so far, so just ignore such a small fortress. "

A relatively friendly adventurer interrupted and said that he seemed to have been resentful for a long time and had a lot of opinions about the governor of this fortress.

"Forget it, just ignore me. Don't tell everyone that I told you. That fat guy is very vengeful. Even if he is not a soldier under his command, he will bully him in various ways.

If he knew that I was talking bad about him behind his back, I would definitely have a hard time. "

After a while, the adventurer said nervously. It can be seen that the governor of this fortress is really a scumbag. Everyone is afraid of him and hates him.

After saying these words, the adventurer hid his figure, as if he was afraid of being remembered by others. After all, no one can say that there will be no informers here.

This made Elena frown. Maybe this journey will be much more difficult than he imagined.
