"That's right." The leader of this team of the God-King's Legacy had a proud look on his face.
He pulled the bolt, raised the gun, and aimed, all in one go.
"Tu tu tu tu tu tu tu..."
The flickering flame from the muzzle illuminated the dimly lit interior of the ruins.
Accompanied by deafening gunfire in the small space, in the blink of an eye, the entire team belonging to the Legacy of the God-King fell down.
"Oh, what about now?"
The monitor's sarcastic question received no response.
Two soldiers put on their bayonets and moved forward to finish off the attackers, while the rest held their guns and stared at the pile of "corpses" on the ground.
"You... you..."
Gerard stared at them in amazement.
This life-and-death crisis was resolved so easily?
No, you have such strong fighting power, why do you hire us?
Chapter 133 Fate is wonderful
"Don't be nervous. These are just necessary measures. After all, we are in the desert. You should know better than us."
The squad leader pointed to Gerard the bodies of the God-King's remains on the ground.
"We hired you out of convenience. As for those traitors, they are probably scared now. We deliberately avoided them and left them to you to deal with."
Gerard opened his mouth and seemed to have a thousand words to say, but in the end, it just condensed into a "thank you".
After cleaning up the scene and collecting the shell casings, Gerard simply stared at the commander's body for a brief moment without saying anything or showing much.
Then he ordered someone to take him away and prepare to leave.
The group headed towards the exit again.
"Speaking of which, Mr. Gerald, I see that you seem to be acting quite normal?"
On the way, the monitor began to be curious about Gerard's performance.
He doesn't have a good relationship with the team leader?
It doesn’t look like it either.
"In a place like the desert, there are so many things like this. Bribery, coercion, calculation, betrayal, death, and gangsters eating gangsters. These things are as common as eating and drinking. Everyone here has their head tied to their belts."
The emotions have long been numb.
"In that case, how dare those scholars from the House of the Order come to the desert to conduct research?"
"If something happens to the scholars of the Order, they must get to the bottom of it. A single Grand Disciplinary Officer is troublesome enough, and there are countless mercenary groups willing to be lackeys of the Order for Mora. Even the Relics of the God King would not bring themselves into such a big trouble."
It turned out to be the case.
The monitor did not ask any more questions, but seemed to be thinking about something.
Desert archaeology is also an important part of the academic research of the Fatwa Institute. They have to ensure its basic safety. At the very least, even if there are sporadic cases of casualties, there must be an explanation. If there are too many accidents and it hinders the research activities of the Fatwa Institute, then they will inevitably take action to solve the problem.
From this point of view, even if there are grudges between mercenary groups, they will probably try their best to avoid the scholars of the Academy of the Decrees, and treat them differently from outsiders.
The scholars of the House of the Decrees were treated as superior people in the desert.
The group of people were speechless as they walked silently to the exit of the ruins, dragging their spoils and the body of their leader.
However, they found that the exit was blocked.
"Password!"
Through the thick stone wall, the faint voice of someone outside could be heard.
"Heh, it seems that the group that just came is also a new member of the Legacy of the God King, or an untrusted group. To be on the safe side, they even blocked the exit."
There was a hint of sarcasm in Gerard's tone.
No wonder the other party was so proud when he mentioned the relics of the God-King. It turned out that he was a fanatical convert.
The squad leader frowned and signaled his soldiers to go up and check.
If I had known this would happen, I should have left someone alive.
"We have to find another way out. At least we don't have to worry too much now. We still have enough water and food to last us for a few days."
"Duang—"
Gerard looked towards the stone wall and saw someone hitting it with a geological hammer.
"no problem."
The person who finished knocking reported to the squad leader.
"?"
Gerard looked at everyone present in confusion.
The squad leader looked around and asked Gerard, "Is it okay to destroy some of the ruins?"
"It has nothing to do with me anyway." Gerard shrugged.
"Get the C4 and prepare to blast."
This time Gerrard understood.
"Are you planning to blow up this stone wall? That would require a lot of explosives."
"It just so happens that we are relatively advanced in explosives technology."
The team quickly arranged the C4 explosives and detonation device.
After everyone evacuated to a safe location, the squad leader stepped forward and shouted, "Hey, come closer, we don't want to die, we want to make a deal with you!"
"What deal?"
Hearing the noise outside getting closer and closer, the squad leader ran to a safe place at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.
"Detonate!"
"boom--"
The stone wall blocking the exit shattered, and through the smoke and dust from the explosion, people could already see the sunlight at the exit.
"Let's go."
A brief exchange of fire killed the few remaining mercenaries from the Relics of the God-King who were guarding here, and the group began to return along the original route.
We didn't encounter any danger along the way this time.
"This commission is over. Let's say goodbye now."
At the edge of the desert, the soldiers and the mercenaries led by Gerard said goodbye to each other.
"Goodbye."
Gerard and his companions returned their commission fees, saying that they had not played any role and that a life had been saved, so they could not take the money no matter what.
Although the squad leader and his men did not think that the guiding role was not useful, they could not resist Gerard's insistence.
The two sides have also established some friendship.
Gerard told the squad leader and his men the permanent location of their regiment and that they could contact them if they had any questions in the future.
Although from a common sense point of view, most people who have experienced such a life-threatening experience will probably never come to Gerard's mercenary group again.
The squad leader and his team were trying to find a way to bypass the inspection of the Order of the Holy See and get this batch of "illegal materials" onto a transport ship from Omos Port to Liyue Port.
Almost everyone in Xumi City and Omos Port has a void terminal, especially the disciplinary officers of the Ordnance Court. In their words, Xumi has a high degree of informatization, and outsiders are not allowed to wear this kind of void terminal, which adds a lot of difficulties to their actions.
Fortunately, it took some effort, but they managed to complete the task.
As the merchant ship loaded with cargo sailed out of the port of Omos, they finally felt relieved.
Just leave Xumi and arrive in Liyue. That will be the territory where we have the say.
Just as the group was resting in the hotel in Port Omos, the squad leader quietly took a small note from a person who passed by him on the street.
Following the above information, he came to a small restaurant.
A businessman dressed in Liyue clothing had been waiting for a long time at the table in the small restaurant.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time. You're finally here. I brought you the book you asked me to bring from Liyue this time..."
The "merchant" welcomed him warmly and the two talked for a while. Then, the "merchant" handed him a book. The two discussed the international situation under all sorts of circumstances. After they finished their meal, they said goodbye to each other and left.
They acted as naturally as if they were old friends meeting again after many years - even though they had never met before.
As soon as we got back to the hotel, everyone gathered around us.
"How about it, squad leader? What do you want?"
In front of everyone, he opened the book, took out the small note inside and read it.
They were asked to search for a black oily liquid in the desert.
After passing it around, the squad leader opened the map.
Seeing the location marked on the map, the squad leader raised his eyebrows.
What a coincidence, isn't it?
It's right around where Gerard and his team are stationed.
Several people in the team also saw this place and felt it was very familiar.
"It seems like we are really destined to be with Gerrard. We have to go and take a look."
Chapter 134 Specific Analysis and Upcoming Oil Trade
"Why are you here? Do you have any new commission? It's a pity that I can't go with you this time."
Returning to the desert again, they headed to the base of Gerard's regiment. Gerard's appearance scared everyone.
Gerrard was not in good condition at this time. One hand was wrapped in bandages and half of his face was wrapped in gauze.
"What are you..."
"The leader died, and the people in the group were not very united. I had a small conflict with some of them and got a little injured, but it's nothing serious."
Gerard waved his hand, unfazed.
"Now that I'm the head of the group, let's get down to business. You guys didn't come all the way here to visit me, did you?"
The monitor and the deputy monitor looked at each other.
They could probably guess which direction it was going.
It was nothing more than that some people were suspicious, dissatisfied, and trying to seize power, and a civil war broke out within their Gilded Brigade.
Fortunately, it now seems that although Gerrard suffered some injuries, he won the victory, which makes it easier for them to do things.
"We are here to look for a special material. According to reliable information, this material should be around your camp."
"special material?"
Gerard tilted his head and looked at the squad leader and his group.
They told Gerard the characteristics of the material one by one.
Hearing this, Gerard fell into deep thought.
"You guys come with me."
Gerard took them to another room.
There were several large barrels in the room, filled with dark brown viscous liquid.
"Take a look, is this what you are looking for?"
