The Orlando Mountains Holy Sword Peak towers into the clouds, and is covered with snow above the mountain, and the top of the peak is even more ethereal and invisible above the clouds.

According to legend, the secret of the war between gods and demons is hidden at the peak that has never melted for thousands of years, but no one has been able to climb to the top to get a glimpse of the truth.

The Holy Sword Peak is towering and difficult to climb, and the Sauron Canyon in front of the peak is even more sad.

The canyon is always shrouded in gray mist that never dissipates all year round. The cliffs on both sides are as smooth as a knife and axe. A big river flows downward against the cliffs on one side. It is the Donnie River that crosses the Soren Canyon. The canyon is full of grass and rugged rocks, broken armor, weapons and dry bones are everywhere among the grass and rocks. This was once an ancient battlefield.

It is said that many years ago, there were mercenaries and explorers who came to the canyon to search for treasures. After ten thousand years of time, even the magic armor and spiritual soldiers had long been washed away by time, and they were not as spiritual as the scrap copper and iron on the street. There were very few people who actually found treasures from the canyon, but there were many people who disappeared in the canyon and went crazy after leaving the canyon. It was precisely because of the weirdness of the canyon that Sauron Canyon gradually became a place that was forgotten by the world.

On this day, a team of mercenaries broke through the fog at the entrance of the valley and slowly walked into the rarely visited Sauron Canyon.

The one that appears in the canyon is naturally the "Blue Ape" mercenary group.

Cairns once wanted to escort things to the canyon alone, but none of the entire mercenary group was willing to leave.

"Trust is the life of mercenaries!" This is the oath that every mercenary in Blue Ape is kept.

A mercenary shouted loudly: "If we don't let us walk together just because of danger, this is a distrust of brothers, and we are not worthy of becoming mercenaries of the Blue Evil!"

Keynes smiled with relief. He knew that he could not drive away these mercenaries. For the sake of faith, what's the point of even death? He experienced it once back then, but today is just another one!

The mercenary group still set out according to the original plan, but changed to an extremely remote route.

Although there is no road in the Orlando Mountains, after generations of hunters and mercenaries, they have also found a more suitable route to advance. But it is this route that also gives the enemy in the dark the opportunity to lure the monsters to ambush the mercenary group.

In order to prevent the enemy from setting traps on the road again, Angus led the mercenary group to take a route that was rarely visited. This route is equivalent to a bib in the outer part of Sauron Canyon, and it took twice as much time to get around the valley entrance.

Although it took twice the time and distance, the mercenary group encountered no accidents along the way.

Cairns, Adeline and Angus led the team to the front, and the mercenaries behind the people were slapped and unsheathed. Everyone was ready for battle. Even Arthur took out three sharp arrows and put them on the bowstring.

The fog in Sauron Canyon was rich, and I couldn't see the mouth of the valley after walking in for a few dozen meters.

Cairns waved his hand and the whole team stopped. "What we accepted was to escort the task items to the valley entrance, and we were waiting for the recipient here."

"I think we may never wait for the receptionist." A slender figure slowly walked out of the fog in the canyon.

The elf Ilaya appeared in front of everyone. He ran to the front of the team for no reason and entered the valley first.

Iraya was holding a man in his hand, a fat and white man. The man's head was drooping weakly, and his originally extremely gorgeous golden robe was stained with dry blood.

"Dead?" Angus said in surprise.

"I was dead when I found him, and I was penetrated by a sword. From the corpse, I had been dead for a long time." Ilaya placed the man in his hand flat on the ground.

"He is the recipient we are waiting for?"

"The body was moved, and nothing was left on the body except this dress."

Angus squatted down and began to check the body, while marveling: "Boss, it's so weird. He is neither a warrior nor a magician. If he were just a businessman, how did he get here alone?"

During the whole process, Keynes kept meditating and silent. He thought that most of the mystery of seeing the client would be solved, but he did not expect that the consignee would be killed.

"How people die has nothing to do with our entrusted task. Since the recipient has died, the task will be over here. Let's withdraw now." Keynes made a decision that surprised everyone.

Curiosity kills the cat, and the entire mission is weird from beginning to end. Strictly following the mercenary rules can ensure maximum safety.

"What about this corpse?" Angus asked.

"Take it with you, and you will always give an explanation to the mercenary union."

No one doubted the decision of Captain Keynes, and the mercenary group began to slowly retreat to the valley entrance.

"What a pity. Don't Captain Keynes intend to wait a little longer?" A dry, hoarse voice suddenly came from the mist in the canyon.

The entire team stopped in place in an instant. Keynes didn't speak, gently holding the hilt of the sword behind his back, and staring at the direction where the sound came.

The mist rolled, and a thin man in a black tights walked out of the broken mist. A black soft leather mask completely covered the man's face, revealing only a pair of eyes with cold eyes.

Cairns and Ilaya looked at each other, and he saw shock in the eyes of the elves. Ilaya had previously entered the canyon with a mercenary group and had already searched the periphery of the valley entrance. However, this person could hide the elves' perception and his strength must be far above Ilaya.

"Who are you?" Cairns asked coldly.

The answer was also cold.

"What do you want? Maybe we can help, as a mercenary group, we can accept any commission." Cairns slowed down a little.

"I personally appreciate the strength that Captain Keynes has shown along the way, but unfortunately, we also accept entrusted tasks."

Keynes sighed softly, everything was irreversible.

The words of the man in black have actually explained his identity. Keynes encountered a professional killer organization this time.

From the way of killing a sword through the heart, the man dressed in black and refused to show himself, and then when standing, he only faced his body with one side of his body, Keynes had vaguely guessed the origin of the man.

There is no condition to talk about killers, they are just cold tools in the hands of others.

"Everyone withdraws from the canyon!" When Cairns issued a retreat order, his body jumped forward, and a sharp sword energy slashed at the man in black.

"Since you're here, no one can leave." The man in black sneered.
