The Flamingo Mercenary Group is a small elite mercenary group of thirty people, divided into three teams for exploration. Ten of them are in the Misty City, which is currently covered by the Chaos Territory.
Because they couldn't leave during the sandstorm, they stayed in the Misty City for a while longer. But the Misty City was not a place for people to stay. It was full of mutants and mentally torn orcs who had been thrown in. It was dangerous everywhere. In order to avoid the sandstorm, they had to stay in the Misty City.
They were initially squeezed into an abandoned parking lot, barely surviving. But then, without food or water, they had to go out to find a source of water, where they encountered the mutants. After a fierce battle, three of them were seriously injured and on the verge of death.
As soon as the sandstorm ended, they rushed out and fired signal flares to summon their nearby companions.
Fortunately, I have two companions here.
"Quick, follow me, there's a territory ahead!"
Seven or eight people were supporting each other, and several others were carrying seriously injured people on their backs.
"Isn't there a stretcher? Carrying him like this will only cause him to bleed!"
"Where am I supposed to find you a stretcher right now? You're still alive, there's still a chance for you, believe me!"
Given the current harsh conditions, this is the best that can be done.
"Are there medical pods in the territory ahead?"
Although the healing pod is expensive, costing ten gold coins per use, it's still pretty good because it can restore health and keep you alive.
Flamingo glanced at her brother but didn't say anything, nor did she stop her from revealing the information.
She simply said softly, "We can find food ahead!" She didn't reveal the culinary master's name at the beginning, as this wasn't the time to talk about it, because they wanted the mercenary group to be stationed in this territory, but most mercenary groups would choose high-level territories.
If they reveal that the other side also disagrees with stationing here, and then spread the news, it will be a huge loss for them.
There are many disagreements within their mercenary group, so they can't speak carelessly.
"Food? You found food?"
"That's right, you don't look injured!"
The black and white whale took out the remaining rice balls and fed one to each of the people.
"It's a Master Rice Ball! It can restore health! Where did you find it?!"
The two men didn't speak, but continued forward carrying the seriously injured patient.
"I'll ask if they have any Master Rice Balls when I get there, so I can treat my injuries first!"
The person who asked the question clearly sensed something was amiss and shut up.
They soon arrived at the small village.
"What do you mean, Master Rice Balls would be in a village like this?" He couldn't help but sneer.
"If you don't want to tell me, just say so. I know you siblings have always wanted to leave the mercenary group and form your own mercenary force, but is a mercenary group so easy to manage?"
"Ah Lang, what are you saying? When you were in trouble, it was my brother who saved you, not the commander!"
"But the mercenary group is led by a leader!"
Flamingo and Alang faced off, neither giving way to the other.
A black and white whale pulls a flamingo.
The flamingo was not convinced.
"When the mercenary group was first established, there were three leaders, without a clear distinction between the main and subordinate leaders. One of them was my brother. However, the current leader was arrogant and conceited, which led to the death of another leader. That's why my brother decided to split up and go solo!"
I don't know when it started, but the three partners became two of them who had to follow the orders of one person. This went against the original intention, so her brother wanted to quit. What's wrong with that?
"Then what do you mean by bringing me to this wretched territory? It's obvious that there's a Master Rice Ball here. I know you must have had some extraordinary encounter and want to keep it all to yourselves. I understand!"
"If that's the case, then stop pretending to be acting in our shoes!"
Upon hearing this, the flamingo nearly developed emphysema!
"How dare you talk like that! You don't appreciate kindness! Brother! Let's ignore him!"
Black and White Whale looked at the several people who were still seriously injured, and did not argue with Ah Lang.
"Now is not the time to argue, let's get them healed first!"
It will take at least a few more days of eating to recover.
"We don't need your fake kindness, we'll find the treatment pod ourselves!"
"The treatment chamber can only treat external injuries! For internal injuries, you can only eat food, don't you know that?"
"Of course I know, but you've taken all the food for yourselves, and we can't use it all, so we have to rely on the treatment pods!"
The flamingo was furious at the blatant lies and distortion of the truth.
"Without an army to guard it, this small territory is barely holding on. The crystals will be on the verge of collapse, so we'll have to add new ones every month!"
In his words, Ah Lang spoke very disparagingly of this small territory.
"To tell you the truth, I don't even want a territory like that!"
"You're telling me there's a Master Rice Ball in a territory like this? Haha, I'll just turn my head down and let you kick my ball! This kind of territory shows the lord isn't all that great!"
Ah Lang didn't see the people gradually gathering around him.
“You can talk about us, you can talk about our territory, but how can you speak of our lord like that!”
"Exactly! Are these the people the Black and White Whales brought? They're not welcome in our territory at all!"
Everyone, young and old, held tools and glared fiercely at the man named Ah Lang in front of them.
The Ox-Head and Horse-Face also had unfriendly expressions.
"So many people die every day in the wasteland, black and white whales, flamingos—I urge you to put aside your altruistic sentiments and respect the fate of others!"
"That's right! What kind of thing is this! Daring to run wild on our territory!"
When had Ah Jing, a pure-blooded orc, ever been spoken to like that? He was furious and about to transform into his beast form.
The black and white whales saw this and quickly tried to stop it.
"No!"
*Smack!* A hard piece of black bread hit Ah Lang on the head.
"I could hear you chattering and spouting nonsense on my territory from afar! If you want to get out, then get out of here right now!"
Sid flapped his wings behind him, looking ready to attack at any moment, while the three orcs in front of him were equally unyielding.
Ah Lang looked at the black and white whale.
"You're going to take things this far, aren't you? Arjun, you tell me!"
Arjun is a flamingo; she turned her head away.
"Leave the wounded brothers behind, you go on your own, A Lang. If you want to follow the leader, then follow the leader. From now on, you go your way and I'll go mine! As for the seriously wounded brothers, after we heal them, they can choose whatever they want!"
The orcs who were being helped up were not unconscious. Upon hearing this, they prepared to have a serious talk with Ah Lang.
He's too impatient. Ah-Qiong and Ah-Jing are good people.
"How can they form a group after making such a mess?"
Ah Jing lowered his head.
"We're leaving the mercenary group. My sister and I have already decided that we'll be stationed in this territory from now on. You can choose to stay and we'll rescue you. If you want to leave, we'll give you all the food we have. It's up to you!"
