Nine-layer armor-breaking

Chapter 27 Join forces
"Brother Jiang! It's Brother Jiang!" A member of the Mandarin Fish Mercenary Group shouted excitedly.

The mercenaries quickly went to confirm Jiang Xuan's location.

Sure enough, in the battle formation of the Evil Wolf Mercenaries in the distance, a young man was holding a black spear and stabbed a member of the Evil Wolf Mercenaries wearing wolf-head shoulder armor to the ground!

The young man holding the black spear was none other than Jiang Xuan, who had just joined the Mandarin Fish Mercenary Team.

It turned out that while Bei Hao and the two vice-captains of the Mandarin Fish Mercenary Group were arguing, Jiang Xuan had already rushed into the Devil Wolf Mercenary Group with his spear in hand. He immediately killed a member of the Devil Wolf Mercenary Group who was trying to steal the goods. The Mandarin Fish Mercenary Group knew that member as a high-level Earth Rank member of the Devil Wolf Mercenary Group.

Jiang Xuan's action inevitably made all the members of the Mandarin Fish Mercenary Group feel a little incredible, and they were all surprised at Jiang Xuan's strength.

"He easily killed a high-level Earth-rank warrior with one strike. This Jiang Xuan is actually a Heaven-rank warrior!"

"Heavenly rank strength! How old is he?"

"Judging from his appearance, he only looks about sixteen or seventeen years old. To be able to reach the Heavenly Rank at this age, his talent is top-notch in the entire Qizhou!"

Bei Hao, the leader of the Mandarin Fish Mercenary Group, and the two deputy leaders of the mercenary group could directly see that Jiang Xuan's strength was at the intermediate level of the Heavenly Rank.

However, even though Bei Hao and the other two saw Jiang Xuan's strength, the Evil Wolf Mercenary Group had five Heavenly Rank warriors after all, while the Mandarin Fish Mercenary Group only had Bei Hao and two deputy captains with Heavenly Rank strength. Among them, Bei Hao was a high-level Heavenly Rank warrior, while the two deputy captains were respectively at an intermediate and a beginner Heavenly Rank.

At this time, the Mandarin Fish Mercenary Group, even with the addition of Jiang Xuan, a warrior of intermediate Heavenly Rank, was only four against five in terms of Heavenly Rank warriors. Not only was they at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, they were also at a disadvantage in terms of strength.

"Everyone from the Mandarin Fish Mercenary Group. Target: The Wolf Mercenary Group, attack!"

After some observation and thought, Bei Hao no longer hesitated, drew the sword at his waist, and decisively ordered all members of the Mandarin Fish Mercenary Group to attack the Evil Wolf Mercenary Group.

And everyone in the Mandarin Fish Mercenary Group knew that as long as the group leader Bei Hao drew the sword at his waist, it meant that this battle would be a fight to the death, and they would fight the enemy to the death!

After the leader Bei Hao gave the order, the members of the Mandarin Fish Mercenary Group swept away the previous gloomy atmosphere in the formation, and they all burst into fighting spirit and high morale. They drew their weapons and charged forward!
Even the deputy leader who had previously advocated giving way to the Wolf Mercenary Group roared a few times and rushed to the front of the formation with two swords in hand!
The Wolf Mercenary Group had begun to lose its composure due to Jiang Xuan's fierce attack and being attacked from both sides.

"What are you panicking about! Everyone, get out of the fight!"

Just as the Wolf Mercenary Group began to panic, a big man in exquisite dark armor roared.

"Escape from the battle!"

"Escape from the battle!"

"Escape from the battle!"

……

The Devil Wolf Mercenaries numbered around a hundred at this point, and calls for disengagement echoed throughout the ranks. Seeing this, Jiang Xuan had to admit that his previous impression of the Devil Wolf Mercenaries was inaccurate. The reason this mercenary group had gained such a great reputation throughout Qizhou wasn't due to some ruthless behavior, but rather to their strict operational command and discipline.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan actually felt a sense of fear in the Wolf Mercenaries. They were extremely cruel to their enemies, yet they maintained strict discipline towards their teammates. If such a mercenary group was left unchecked, who knew how much trouble they would cause in Qizhou and even the neighboring states!

Under the command of the big man in dark armor, the members of the Wolf Mercenary Group quickly distanced themselves from the other mercenary group and escaped from the battle in a moment.

The Wolf Mercenary Team that had escaped from the battle was in a loose formation, and was facing off with the mercenary group on the other side and the Mandarin Fish Mercenary Group that was charging towards them at a distance of about ten feet.

The robbed mercenary group looked even smaller than the Mandarin Fish Mercenary Group. One of them, a short man wearing heavy armor, saw Bei Hao and his men charging towards him and greeted him warmly with a fist pump. "Captain Bei, I'm in your debt today!"

Bei Hao returned the greeting, "Captain Dong, you're too kind. Our fish were just stolen by those wolves. Today, we'll work together to get it back, and then no one will owe anyone a favor."

After hearing this, Captain Dong raised his heavy hammer and shouted, "Everyone of the Heavy Hammer Mercenary Group, this battle will be led by Captain Bei!"

"Captain Bei!"

The entire Heavy Hammer Mercenary Group shouted loudly, as if they had received the order from Captain Dong.

"Bei Hao, it's just a few fish, why are you doing this?" The big man in dark armor walked through a small path made by the members of the Wolf Mercenary Group, came to the front of the mercenary team, and said to Bei Hao with a playful smile.

"Where's your boss? Is he too scared to come out?" Bei Hao asked sarcastically.

"Bei Hao, don't try to play tricks on me. If you were capable, we wouldn't have caught those fish." The dark-armored man frowned slightly, then instantly laid him flat. "Captain Bei, with your talent, why don't you just work with us? Escorting those few fish all day, living from one meal to the next, isn't that tiring? How about this? Just agree to work with us, merge all your brothers into the Devil Wolf Mercenary Group, and I'll talk to the boss about making you deputy captain, and giving your brothers the same treatment as the brothers in the Devil Wolf Mercenary Group. How about that?"

"Not very good, not interested." Bei Hao replied disdainfully.

At this time, the two sides had about a hundred people in the Evil Wolf Mercenary Group, and the other side's Mandarin Fish Mercenary Group and Heavy Hammer Mercenary Group had a total of about a hundred people.

The number of people was close, but almost everyone present, including Jiang Xuan, did not think that the strength of the two sides was evenly matched.

Jiang Xuan felt even more strongly about the other three mercenary groups. Judging from the performance of the Wolf Mercenary Group just now, large mercenary groups were indeed large mercenary groups. Their combat organization and discipline were not comparable to smaller mercenary groups like the Hammer Mercenary Group.

Although the combat quality of the Mandarin Fish Mercenary Group is not bad, its overall size is greatly limited. Although the Mandarin Fish Mercenary Group and the Heavy Hammer Mercenary Group are temporarily merged at this moment, in battle, the tacit understanding of the team cannot be calculated simply by adding or subtracting the number of people.

In this way, in this battle, the combined mercenary group of the Mandarin Fish Mercenary Group and the Heavy Hammer Mercenary Group is still at a disadvantage.

During the previous battle, Jiang Xuan had already determined that the dark-armored figure was the highest-ranking member of the Wolf Mercenary Group. He reasoned that, as the saying goes, "to capture the thief, you must first capture the leader." Given their disadvantage, if they wanted to achieve victory, they had to quickly eliminate the Wolf Mercenary Group's current commander during the group battle.
