Ch 246: Desert Mercenaries Gather At Aru Village

The Traveler looked at Rakshasa, the leader of the largest mercenary group in the desert, whom the Traveler personally recruited.

Dehya mentioned last night that Rakshasa’s mercenary group was the largest, and if they could be brought in, it would greatly enhance their strength.

Unfortunately, Rakshasa’s faith lay with the Red King, and he always believed that the Red King’s death was caused by the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata.

After hearing Dehya’s account, the Traveler made a personal trip.

He knew the truth, and he took Rakshasa to the tomb of the Grand Sage, letting Rakshasa see the truth.

It turned out that the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata was not their enemy, but their benefactor.

Rakshasa informed all the members of his mercenary group of the truth, and the entire mercenary group, in order to repay the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata’s kindness, decided to help Nahida.

“Rakshasa, I’ll leave this area to you. Your strength is the strongest.”

Rakshasa patted his chest.

“Leave it to us! Anyone who wants to touch Lesser Lord Kusanali will have to cross our corpses first!”

Having said that, Rakshasa asked his brothers.

“Brothers, am I right?”

Rakshasa’s underlings shouted in unison.

“Yes!”

Hearing this, the Traveler nodded reassuringly.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be with you then.”

Rakshasa was pleasantly surprised to hear this.

“That’s great! Then I’ll be even more confident!”

Following this, the Traveler arranged defense zones for several other mercenary groups, and these mercenary groups readily agreed.

They came here with the determination to die.

The desert has finally seen hope, and it cannot be lost here.

Most of these people were forced to become mercenaries due to their circumstances, living a life of bloodshed.

They didn’t mind, but their next generation couldn’t live this way.

Even in death! They must protect Lesser Lord Kusanali and the Sacred Tree.

Sacred Tree is what these Desert Dwellers call the Tree of Life.

Yesterday, the Traveler had already informed the Desert Dwellers of the Tree of Life’s properties.

As the Tree of Life grows, the area of the oasis will become larger and larger, and it may one day cover the entire desert.

Nahida looked at the bustling village below and was a little dumbfounded.

“Why are there so many people here?”

Dehya smiled.

“Lesser Lord Kusanali, all these people are here to support you, to help you deal with the Grand Sage.”

Hearing this, Nahida smiled with relief.

Xing spoke at this time.

“Seriously, Nahida, should I just go and kill the Grand Sage? I can definitely do it.”

Alhaitham said.

“No, Lesser Lord Kusanali needs this war to establish her authority.

Simply killing Azar will not solve the problem; after Azar, there will be another Grand Sage.

Lesser Lord Kusanali needs the support of the people, she needs to defeat the Sage’s Lineage fairly and squarely.”

Xing shrugged.

“I don’t understand why you’re making it so complicated. I say, I’d rather just use One Sword.”

March 7th chimed in.

“Yeah, yeah, just attack directly, wouldn’t that do?”

Nahida smiled.

“Xing, March, thank you for your kindness. I will definitely ask for your help when the crucial moment arrives.”

Xing nodded.

“Okay, we’ve been playing in Sumeru for a while, just give us a shout if anything comes up; we’re always on call.”

After finishing, Xing pulled March and Liuyin.

“March, Liuyin, let’s go, let’s borrow some mounts from these mercenaries to play with.

Let’s have a mount race, how about that?”

March 7th and Liuyin found this interesting.

“Let’s go! Let’s go take a look.”

Xing, March 7th, and Liuyin jumped off the Tree of Life and headed towards Rakshasa, who wasn’t far away.

Xing, March 7th, and Liuyin found the Traveler and Rakshasa.

“Traveler, can we borrow three mounts? We want to ride them for fun.”

The Traveler looked at Xing and was speechless. These guys abandoned him yesterday and ran off.

If he hadn’t known those Rana beforehand, and had already explored countless caves in Sumeru, he’d probably still be helping those little guys find things.

“You guys are so loyal! You abandoned me yesterday and ran off!”

Xing chuckled awkwardly; they already knew the reason.

Basically, the Traveler had a tough job, basically exploring all the caves and tunnels in Sumeru.

They also understood why Ye Yun told them to run away.

“It’s not my fault! Ye Yun told us to go, we didn’t know anything.”

Xing pointed directly at Ye Yun, shifting the blame.

The Traveler sighed and said to Rakshasa beside him.

“Rakshasa, lend them three mounts. They are friends of Lesser Lord Kusanali, and they are here to help.”

Rakshasa readily agreed.

“No problem! Lesser Lord Kusanali’s friends are my friends. I’ll have someone take you to choose.”

Xing clasped his hands in gratitude.

“Thank you.”

After choosing a mount each, the three of them rode their mounts and galloped towards the desert outside the village.

The mounts were very large and heavy, and they ran powerfully.

The three rode their mounts past the Statue of the Seven and into the desert between Gavireh Lajavard and Aru Village.

Xing pulled the reins and vigorously swung them!

“Giddy up! Giddy up! Acceleration! Acceleration! Charge!”

The mount Xing was riding was spurred on and increased its pace.

Seeing this, March 7th and Liuyin also sped up to catch up with Xing.

The three raced their mounts, and before they knew it, they arrived at Gavireh Lajavard.

Gavireh Lajavard was currently under martial law.

At the gate, several mercenaries from the Thirty-Person Squad noticed Xing, March 7th, and Liuyin.

“Halt!”

Xing pulled on the reins, and the mount stopped.

Xing asked.

“What’s wrong?”

The Thirty-Person Mercenary Group said.

“Gavireh Lajavard is under martial law. No one from the desert is allowed to enter!”

Hearing this, Xing pouted and turned the mount around.

“Fine, then we’ll go back to Aru Village.”

Xing’s words were not good; upon hearing that Xing came from Aru Village, the Thirty-Person Mercenary Group immediately called their companions.

“From Aru Village! Take them down!”

Xing was dumbfounded.

What the heck? Why arrest them?

Xing inexplicably remembered what March 7th said before.

“Every few worlds, we’ll be wanted and arrested once.”

Xing wondered if this was the reason again?

However, being arrested was definitely not an option.

Xing wanted to take out the Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment.

After thinking about it, these people were too weak, it wasn’t necessary, Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment was too overpowered.

Xing jumped off the mount, extended a hand and challenged several mercenaries from the Thirty-Person Squad.

“Come on, let’s go together.”

The Thirty-Person Mercenary Group rushed forward.

In less than 10 seconds, several mercenaries were all lying on the ground, incapacitated.

Xing clapped his hands.

“Work’s done, March, Liuyin, let’s go.”

At this moment, a voice came.

“You can’t leave yet.”

Xing looked, and a boy wearing a dog-eared hat came out.

The reason why the Traveler could return so quickly was that he had known the Rana beforehand, and those Rana were all placed there by him. Coupled with the Traveler’s strength, one day was enough to solve the Rana problem.

Therefore, the Traveler was written back in.

To be honest, I had forgotten that the Traveler knew these Rana, thanks to everyone for the additions!
