Chapter 280 - Dark Cave (1) (1/2)

Three big carts were moving in a slow, steady row. On top of each of the carriages, a big bulky of luggage was loaded on it. The luggage was entirely covered with three layers of cloth. There was no way anyone could know what inside without opening the cover.

A horse was assigned to each of the carts to pull the wagon. Beside each of the carriages, there were at least 10 guards. And, Auron was one of them.

Keeping his disguise as Savage Sickle, Auron was strolling at the front of the middle cart. Due to his performance in the recruitment, Auron was considered as a strong fighter despite being a mage.

The leader gave a high valuation to Auron. He wanted to provide him with a group's leader's position despite the fact that he was an outsider. However, not all of the members agreed with him.

Since the leader didn't want to start a conflict because of this small matter, the leader decided to take a step back. He let the other took the group's leader's position. However, he still pushed Auron and gave him the vice position.

When Auron knew that he was chosen as the group's vice leader, he wasn't that excited. Auron still kept his cold act and accepted it. Thanks to that act, Auron was labeled as an arrogant person. However, Auron didn't care about it.

Insanity Gang was the name of this group of guards. Auron just knew about it from the leader when he introduced it. Insanity Gang was known as a group of mercenaries. Although they were not that big, however, they were well widely known in the merchant caravan guard's industry.

The group had more than three years of history in this industry. They specialize in transporting goods. The group was famous for their meticulous action. They would select their mission carefully, and their fee was not that cheap.

Transporting goods was not that easy. They could not use the teleportation portal to carry the products since they had to pay really expensive. If it was only a small-sized good, then they could still hide it from the inspector.

However, if it was a big sized good like this time, it would attract a lot of attention. Then, to get through the teleportation gate with the products, they had to pay a massive sum of money. That was why many merchants or people that wished to transport their goods would hire a group of mercenaries to transport them.

The group had 12 permanent members, including the leader, and the rest was recruited just like Auron.

Just like the other mission, the leader had prepared very well for this mission. He had selected the routes and informed the other when they were about to enter a dangerous path.

However, there was one difference between this mission and the other mission they had gone through. It was the absence of the goods' owner. Usually, the owner of the goods would follow the group. But, it was not like that this time.

The group only had the responsibility to transfer the goods to the destination, and they were paid very well. The leader hurriedly accepted this when he knew that there was nothing wrong with the route.
