"What is the Black Eagle rcenary Group?"
Sigrdrífa disengaged from stealth and asked curiously.
"The Black Eagle rcenary Group is... wait, who is this person?"
Baron Trafalgar suddenly noticed Sir Ivanhoe's presence, but Sir Ivanhoe was still imrsed in painful self-reproach.
So I introduced Sir Ivanhoe on his behalf.
"This is Sir Ivanhoe of Smylie, a noble knight adventurer."
"Ivanhoe... oh, I rember him. An adventurer from the Kingdom of Azrael who's supposedly very handso but sowhat ntally unstable, and he has a female fan club."
"He ca to help us. I believe Sir Ivanhoe is not a bad person."
Though his mind might be a bit...
Getting back to the topic, Baron Trafalgar said that the road ahead was blocked by the Black Eagle rcenary Group. I had heard a bit about the Black Eagle rcenary Group; they were quite a famous adventurer organization in the Kingdom of Michel.
Since Sigrdrífa wasn't clear about what kind of organization the Black Eagle rcenary Group was, Baron Trafalgar briefly explained it to her.
"The Black Eagle rcenary Group is the largest rcenary group in the Kingdom of Michel. In terms of combat power, the strongest adventurer rcenary group in the Kingdom of Michel is the Rhodes rcenary Group, followed by Black Eagle, but in terms of sheer numbers, they far exceed Rhodes."
"Hmm... the second-ranked rcenary organization in the Kingdom of Michel..."
"That's right. In terms of numbers, [[Golden Dawn]] could also compete with the Black Eagle rcenary Group, but after Golden Dawn beca distracted from their proper duties, the Black Eagle rcenary Group gradually rose in rank."
Eh? Golden Dawn, I rember that's...
"We just need to know that the Black Eagle rcenary Group has many mbers. They've ford a battle line ahead. No wonder we haven't seen any Black Eagle rcenary Group mbers for so long... they were preparing to advance in a sweeping formation."
"What do you an? The more you explain, the more confused I get. The area ahead isn't a valley, so can't we just go around it?"
"I've dealt with the Black Eagle rcenary Group before. When they conduct searches, they make full use of their nurical advantage, positioning a team every short distance. There are simply no gaps."
"Then... I'll use stealth to create an opening..."
"It's useless. They regularly use private ssages to confirm the status of teams on their left and right sides. Once contact is lost, other adventurers will imdiately return to defend. Don't underestimate the Black Eagle rcenary Group; they're completely different from the guilds we've encountered before."
I roughly understood Baron Trafalgar's aning. In other words, the Black Eagle rcenary Group had ford a small encirclent network within the barrier and was conducting sweeping searches, slowly advancing.
The thod I thought of was using [Spatial Transfer] to jump out, but there were simply too many people, and my status was severe fatigue, so I couldn't actively use [Spatial Transfer].
The Black Eagle rcenary Group's advance was slow, but in exchange, their sweeping was extrely thorough. We hadn't encountered many adventurers coming to support us on the road, perhaps because they were intercepted by the Black Eagle rcenary Group's encirclent network.
After thinking it over, resting for a bit and then forcibly using [Spatial Transfer] to escape seed more reliable... but the encirclent network would definitely keep shrinking...
"Ah, I've got it!"
Sigrdrífa clapped her hands.
"Anna! Do you have a [Golden Apple]? Take it out quickly."
"Eh? Okay..."
Was Sigrdrífa hungry? I retrieved the [Golden Apple] from my storage space.
The [Golden Apple] was a specialty from the foot of Mount Olympus in Arcadia, a decorative item that could increase the holder's charm value. Its other function...
Sigrdrífa took the [Golden Apple] from my hands. I imdiately realized what Sigrdrífa wanted to do and grabbed her wrist.
"No!"
The [Golden Apple] had another use, which could only be used once. According to legend in Arcadia, a mortal hero married a goddess, so the gods held a banquet to celebrate. Only the unpopular goddess of discord wasn't invited, but the goddess of discord disguised herself and ca uninvited, placing a [Golden Apple] at the banquet with a note saying "For the most beautiful goddess." As a result, the queen of the gods, the goddess of wisdom, and the goddess of beauty argued endlessly over who should receive the [Golden Apple]. The embarrassed king of the gods chose to let a handso human prince decide.
The prince decided to give the [Golden Apple] to the goddess of beauty. The angry queen of the gods and goddess of wisdom decided to bring disaster upon the prince's country, ultimately evolving into a large-scale war orchestrated by the gods. People also called the [Golden Apple] the Golden Apple That Brings Calamity.
In the ga, the [Golden Apple]'s "bringing calamity" was set as an active skill. When this skill was used, all attacks and abilities in the area would involuntarily target the [Golden Apple]'s holder, making it one of the strongest taunting items. However, this effect didn't grant the holder any defensive bonuses. Using the [Golden Apple] while standing in a crowd generally ant instant death.
"Using this can draw them away, and I'll shake them off afterward."
Sigrdrífa insisted, but could Sigrdrífa in a fatigued state really manage to deal with one of the Kingdom of Michel's top rcenary groups? I wasn't sure.
"No, this is too danger—"
I suddenly sensed sothing abnormal and flung my chains into the air.
The creature I hit let out a strange cry and fell miserably to the ground. It was an eagle.
"An eagle?"
Sigrdrífa was puzzled, not seeing anything wrong, but I knew there were no eagles living in this area.
"This is bad! They have a [[Beast Tar]]!"
Before I finished speaking, large fires suddenly lit up in the distance, and the surrounding adventurers responded accordingly. The road ahead instantly beca bright as day.
As an elf, Sigrdrífa could receive nature's blessing but couldn't distinguish which animals were wild and which were tad. The eagle just now wasn't a wild animal at all; it was definitely a pet tad by a beast tar adventurer. Our information had probably already been shared with its master through the beast taming magic [[Shared Vision]].
What followed was an arrow rain rivaling the scale of [Falling Star Rain]—but every single arrow was infused with magic that the archers took pride in.
