The city of Spring

The city of Spring is one of the cities on the outskirts of the north, but it was a large city, more crowded and more active compared to the city of Lotus and the reason for this it's position  as a city on the road to the north is a stopping point for many travelers and merchants coming from the small cities scattered on the borders of the north here in this city stops Many caravans looking for mercenaries to help protect it or supply the supplies that are lacking, so the city prospered compared to other small cities.

On one of the main city streets, a tall, middle-aged man   walked with a scar  at his face 

He carries a huge sword on his back. This was Liu Chang, who changed his appearance. The reason for his presence here is to search for a caravan to go with it to the north directly after he left Lotus City and went on his journey north,  Liu Chang in  lost in the middle of the road, and if he weren't  met by chance a convoy was heading to  Spring City he may  remained  lost  As for the reason for his change of appearance, it is that he learned from the convoy that he accompanied to the city of Spring that mercenaries are frequently wanted here to protect the convoys heading to the north and I think it is the ideal idea to go north easily, so he changed his appearance as he does not want anyone's attention being a strong teenager. A unique thing, but a strong middle-aged man is a normal thing. As for the sword on his back, it is an ordinary sword that he made at a blacksmith upon his arrival to Spring City, which only cost a few pieces of gold. The truth is that Liu Chang always wanted to be like those  strong characters who wore swords on their backs and so did the scar, Liu Chang think that it will   give him some charisma and helps him appear as an experienced person who has fought dozens of battles,  and that will give  him a chance to join a good convoy.

"Brave warrior," a voice called out from behind Liu Chang

Liu Chang turned to the source of the sound, a teenager running to catch him

Liu Chang stopped and looked at the teen in amazement

"Yes, what do you want, boy!" Liu Chang spoke in an angry tone

"Oh brave warrior, you must be here to search for a convoy. I work as a guide only with 5 silver pieces to guide you to the appropriate caravan." The boy spoke and smiles.

"Hahaha, it's okay if you find me a good caravan, I'll give you what you want, boy," Liu Chang replied

"Rest assured, brave warrior, I know a good caravan, and it pays very well." The boy responded confidently

After about a quarter of an hour, Liu Chang and the boy arrived at a convoy a little far from the city, but compared to the convoys in the city it seemed a little richer how he noticed the presence of soldiers wearing armor, which means that there is a strong figure behind the convoy.

"Good boy," Liu Chang spoke as he was throwing some silver coins at the boy who was so pleased that he got more than he expected.

"Thank you, brave warrior." The boy spoke happily and left for the city

In front of the convoy he found a soldier and a a lot  of mercenaries

"We do not want the weak if you are below the fourth level of the Hotian, we do not need your services," the soldier spoke in a loud voice.

In fact, Liu Chang was almost sure that this soldier was at the five level of the Hotian, which motivated him more to join the convoy, as the presence of the strong increased the safety rate.

"Your name and your level of strength. Remember you will have to attack that rock over there so don't waste our time if you are below the fourth level." The soldier spoke to Liu Chang, who was in his turn.

"Liu Chang, seventh level of the Hotian," Liu Chang spoke, and Liu Chang then advanced toward the rock and fired a fist with 70% of his power

boom Boom

Bits of the rock crumbled, and Liu Chang's fist made its mark on the rock

"Wonderful. We will hire you. You will get 40 gold. You will get ten now and 30 after we reach the north. Are you OK, warrior?" Soldier Liu Chang asked.

"Of course, my friend," Liu Chang replied

...

From the soldier Liu Zhang learned about the nature of the task. The son of one of the    wealthy man  was studying at the School of the Red Flower, a school established by a famous researcher who was isolated in a city on the outskirts of the north. It is a name that seemed familiar to him, but Liu Chang could not say where he heard it

In a large tent a meeting took place, Ji Lian, who had invited the more powerful mercenaries to a meeting in the tent to discuss the plan to secure the convoy

Medium height, black-eyed, wearing a traditional soldier's portrait armor, this was first impression that  he have about Ji Lian 

Who was apparently at the ninth level of Hotian

There is also  another people sitting, an old man with a white beard   him. This  was white spear  a famous mercenary in the north at the eighth level, and next to him was a muscular man whose scars were visible on his body. This was  iron rock  a famous mercenary in the seventh level.

"So gentlemen, we will divide the mercenaries into groups, and each one of you is assigned to lead the group of the White Spear is responsible for the front, the Iron Rock is in charge of the center, and Liu Zhang is in charge of the  behind." Ji Lian spoke in a resolute tone.

At that moment, Liu Chang, who had been silent all the time spoke 

"I remembered where I heard your name. You are the fourth nephew of that old man Ji Ping."

Liu Chang spoke with a smile on his face

Ji Lian looked in shock
