CHAPTER 544: CHAPTER 288: ADDICTED TO WOOL GRABBING

Moments later, Viscount Orkot had already arrived at the combat site.

When he got to the scene, he indeed found that this area had more Magic Elements than other places because this group of people kept calling upon the surrounding Magic Elements to concentrate in this area.

This also precisely demonstrated one thing, that their affinity for magic was very high.

Upon closer inspection of their combat method, the entire team seemed to be divided into different groups, with each group handling two to three middle-level Demon Beasts. The faster teams had already finished their battles and did not join other groups but were instead watching from the side.

Now only two groups were left.

Earl Orkot watched one of the teams intently as they battled a level 23 Gale Demon Wolf.

This type of Demon Beast was very fast and primarily moved in packs. Naturally, even a single one was quite troublesome.

But the speed of this Gale Demon Wolf seemed to be ineffective in front of this team.

"Impenetrable!"

"Fiery Fire!"

"Savage Charge!"

"Rain of Arrows!"

With a complete set of attacks launched, the Gale Demon Wolf barely had time to move, let alone escape the cage specifically targeting it, plus... Earl Orkot’s gaze fell on their footwear.

These were Shadow Speed Boots, orange equipment. Originally, they added only 20%, but this model used special materials that could further accelerate the speed by an additional 50%, thus enhancing the speed gain to 70%.

The speed of the Gale Demon Wolf, with the added bonuses from the opponents, amounted to no advantage.

Moreover, with Mages, Archers, and Swordsmen all present in the team, using control, area attacks, and high damage Skills, the Gale Demon Wolf had no escape and couldn’t even attack. It did not lose undeservingly!

It seemed that the combat capability of the Hope Village Mercenary Team was not to be underestimated. Even the slowest team was already coordinating so well, not to mention the other squads.

"Do you know this mercenary team?" Earl Orkot asked Marvin, who was standing beside him.

"I do, it’s the largest mercenary team from Hope Village, the War Beast Mercenary Team, but this is probably just one of their squads," Marvin quickly replied. With Wendell, the team leader in Hope Village gathering information and his frequent visits, he was quite familiar with the mercenary teams in Hope Village and immediately called out the name of the team, continuing, "This mercenary team numbers over four hundred men and even owns their own business industry. The Hope Village Beast Meat Factory belongs to this mercenary team. Their leader, Zhong Yongnian, is also here at the scene."

After speaking, Marvin pointed out Zhong Yongnian.

At this moment, as the overall combat came to an end and the team collected their spoils, Zhong Yongnian noticed Earl Orkot and his party.

Seeing Earl Orkot’s lavish attire and the attendant personnel by his side, Zhong Yongnian got his first impression.

This was definitely not a simple lord.

Turning his gaze toward Marvin standing next to Earl Orkot, Zhong Yongnian directly walked over to them.

"Marvin, what a coincidence!" Zhong Yongnian greeted Marvin first and then looked toward Earl Orkot, "And this is..."

"This is the Lord of Bengala Town," Marvin said, hardly daring to mention Orkot’s name.

Zhong Yongnian mentally revised, directly bowed, and said, "I have seen the Earl."

Having been in this world for so long, they naturally learned the corresponding titles and etiquettes.

Perhaps it was unnecessary in Hope Village, but now they weren’t on their "home turf," and, after all, politeness never hurt.

Earl Orkot looked at Zhong Yongnian, nodding slightly, "You’ve done quite well."

To develop a mercenary team to such a scale showed considerable strength.

"Just making a living," Zhong Yongnian said with a warm smile. "Is the Earl planning to visit our territory? If you have a chance, you definitely should check out our shops!"

Earl Orkot: "...Hmm."

"Well, I won’t keep you any longer. Our team still has tasks to complete today!" Saying this, Zhong Yongnian bid farewell and then swiftly walked away with his group toward the direction of Bengala Town.

After watching them leave, Earl Orkot subconsciously prepared to return to his team, but the next moment, he paused, turned back, and looked in the direction where Zhong Yongnian and his group had departed, narrowing his eyes slightly, "How far is Hope Village from here?"
