Chapter 516: The mercenary trade union's knowledge
It was still one day away from Mullen Town on Lake St. Loon, so Lin Qi and others took a detour to a medium-sized city.
There is a branch of the Caesar Empire Mercenary Union here, and Lin Qi brought Lu En here to go through various formalities for long-term employment. The Caesar Empire has extremely strict management of mercenaries, and a powerful warrior like Lu En who is halfway to the throne
, his every move must be recorded in the guild, otherwise all employment contracts will be regarded as illegal contracts.
After all, the Caesar Empire was a bit poorer than the Gallic Empire, and its tough folk customs led many young people to embark on the path of mercenaries. In such a large Caesar Empire, the number of mercenaries may even be equal to that of the empire's standing regular army. Such a huge
If the mercenary team is not strictly managed, if any trouble breaks out, it will be a great turmoil sweeping the country.
Therefore, the mercenary unions in other countries in the Western Continent are purely private organizations. Only the mercenary union of the Caesar Empire is a completely official organization. The Caesar Empire even established a high-level minister of mercenary affairs management under the minister of military affairs.
Responsible for the daily management of mercenaries.
After all, if mercenaries are used well, once a big conflict breaks out with other forces, they can become a powerful army with a little arming. Moreover, given the folk customs of the Caesar Empire, these mercenaries are no better than ordinary elite soldiers.
Poor, even more so in terms of combat experience.
Although it is only a medium-sized city, because it is close to the border waterway, the mercenary union in this city is also very large. In the grand entrance hall built of marble, a large number of mercenaries came in and out, and from time to time there were several calls from old friends.
See the laughter of joy.
Entering the mercenary union hall, Lu En led his team members to an idle staff member and explained to him that he had frozen his status as a mercenary and was employed by a fixed chamber of commerce for a long time. Lin Qi followed Lu En to the counter.
Before that, I submitted various documents from a medium-sized chamber of commerce that I registered in the previous city.
Staff members wearing iron-gray uniforms and with stern faces, like granite statues, carefully reviewed the chamber of commerce documents submitted by Lin Qi, and carefully asked Lin Qi about the main business projects of the chamber of commerce and why he hired servants for a long time.
The reason for the war.
After patiently answering all the other party's questions and Lin Qi paying a large amount of gold coins, Lu En and his team members officially became long-term employees of Lin Qi's newly established 'Bluefin Salmon Chamber of Commerce'.
The mercenary union prepared a formal employment contract for Lin Qi with strict terms and no legal loopholes. Lu En, the former mercenary captain, has now officially become the guard captain of the Bluefin Salmon Chamber of Commerce.
Because of the gold coins paid, Lin Qi's Chamber of Commerce Guard Group received an employment quota of less than 1,000 people.
In other words, Lin Qi can officially hire more mercenaries wherever he shows a certificate issued by the mercenary union. However, due to the size of Lin Qi's chamber of commerce and the business projects, the total number of mercenaries he can hire cannot exceed
One thousand people. Moreover, the mercenary union also restricted the strength of the mercenaries Lin Qi hired. For example, he could not hire more than one heavenly warrior, one hundred status warriors, four hundred human warriors, and others.
Mercenaries must be ordinary soldiers who have not practiced fighting spirit.
Seeing the strict terms and conditions on the mercenary quota certificate, Lin Qi, who was used to the carefree and evasive atmosphere of the Gallic Empire, couldn't help but stick out his tongue. If it were in the Gallic Empire, those officials would not bother to pay attention to how many mercenaries you have.
As long as you pay a management fee, as long as you can afford it, and as long as you don't lead a team to attack the city, even if you hire 10,000 mercenaries, no one will care about you.
But the Caesar Empire was different. It eliminated the possibility of any private forces gathering powerful force from the very beginning.
Gently patting the mercenary employment quota certificate in his hand, Lin Qi stuffed it into Lu En's arms: "I'll take a rest here. You can help me with the recruitment of manpower! Well, God
There is no need to recruit a warrior, I believe you can break through to the throne soon. As for the others, it’s up to you. I am the boss who paid for it, as long as I see the results.”
After snapping his fingers, Bilibili rushed up diligently, took out a few golden tickets from the space ring and handed them to Luen.
"Lu En, now is your first important task as the leader of the chamber of commerce's security team, to form a qualified security team for me as soon as possible. I only want elites, not scum. You can advance their salary for three years and give them
Settling down, let them come with us as soon as possible."
Lu En clenched his right fist and hit his chest hard. There was a faint blush on his rock-like rough and cold face. Because of Lin Qi's trust and appreciation, his mood became extremely excited.
.
"Boss, our Caesar Empire only has elites and no scum. Don't worry, I will be able to give you a fully qualified guard group soon."
With a loud shout, Luen and his team members hurriedly walked towards the back of the mercenary union. Behind each mercenary union, the Caesar Empire built hotels, bars and other facilities specifically for mercenaries. Moreover, the Caesar Empire
There are also strict regulations. Mercenaries are strictly prohibited from appearing in bars and other entertainment venues visited by civilians. This is to prevent conflicts between grumpy mercenaries and civilians and reduce the occurrence of public security cases.
This also makes it convenient for employers who want to hire mercenaries. They can easily hire people as long as they come to the mercenary union, instead of waiting for the guild staff to rush around to find people.
After throwing a few gold coins into the staff behind the counter, Lin Qi led the people into the rest area on the side of the guild hall. This is a rest area specially prepared for employers. The furnishings are simple but not shabby. All the furniture
They are all very comfortable, allowing people to comfortably wait for the arrival of their hired mercenaries.
At the same time, this is also a place where gossip is particularly developed. The people who come to the mercenary union to hire mercenaries are all kinds of strange, covering almost all levels of society. There are nobles, wealthy businessmen, traveling businessmen, wandering entertainers, or simply famous people.
People like social butterflies. Anyway, this is the way the world is. Everyone may encounter something that threatens their life and property safety at any time. Hiring a few mercenaries to protect themselves is the choice of many people.
He casually glanced at the dozens of men and women waiting in the rest area. Many of them were still wrapped in black cloaks, as if they were afraid that others would discover their true appearance. Lin Qi shook his head with a smile and sat down with others.
He sat on a circle of sofas in the corner and asked the waiter to bring him wine and snacks to go with the wine.
Xiong Wanjin, who has been a little depressed these days, picked up the bottle and drank a few sips, then whispered with red eyes: "I won't let them go. Bastard, there are so many ships and so many people, I won't
It will make them feel better.”
Lin Qi glanced at Xiong Wanjin and said in a deep voice: "When I find my father, I will ask him to send someone to escort you to the East. With the chart I gave you, you will not be blamed when you return to the family. But I
I don’t think your enemies will make you feel better.”
Xiong Wanjin looked up at Lin Qi and suddenly grinned: "I don't have a ship to exchange route maps with you now."
Lin Qi patted his soft knees hard and shouted in a low voice: "What nonsense are you talking about? We are friends who ran away together. Don't worry, I will help you solve these troubles. But in the future, I may be useful to you.
, when the time comes, just don’t turn your back and deny anyone.”
Xiong Wanjin raised his fist and punched Lin Qi hard on the shoulder. He grinned and looked at Lin Qi with shining blue crystal eyes: "Am I, Young Master Xiong, that kind of person?
Hey, among the girls on my Lanchun River, who doesn’t know that I am the most sentimental person?”
Xiong Wanjin compared himself with those girls? Lin Qi was so angry that her mouth was twisted, and she wanted to raise her foot and kick him hard.
Just when Lin Qi was about to put his impulse into action, several whispers suddenly came from his ears.
Lin Qi's ear power was really amazing. After many physical enhancements, he could hear the sound of insects crawling in the grass hundreds of meters away. Although the men in black cloaks were in another part of the mercenary union hall,
There were whispers under the wall on one side, but Lin Qi could still hear their words clearly.
"A fat man who weighs more than three hundred pounds? There is one here, but he doesn't have an oriental face."
"The appearance can be changed, but it is difficult to change the body shape. As for the people around him, it seems that there are three less people than in the intelligence."
"There are three middle-aged men missing, but the rest are all worthy. A fat man, an extremely tall and strong young man, a handsome man, a wretched and short boy, and a mage. However, there is not a single oriental.
But they are the most compatible group of people."
"Keeping an eye on them, I went to report to the branch president. The headquarters offered a reward of 10 million gold coins to track down their whereabouts. 10 million gold coins is enough for us to live happily for a lifetime. I hope it is them. Even if it is not, it doesn't matter if we kill the wrong person.
.”
"Keep an eye on them first. The intelligence from the headquarters says that they are extremely powerful. Although we don't know how strong they are, it is impossible for our small assassin branch to deal with them. Keep an eye on them first. When the masters from the headquarters arrive, they will
Dead."
Lin Qi's eyes suddenly turned cold. The Assassin's Guild! The Acacia family actually offered a reward in the Assassin's Guild to track down the whereabouts of his group? It's really good luck that he was discovered by these guys only when he got here, but it seems that his change in everyone's appearance is of no use.
These people made it clear that they would rather kill the wrong three thousand than let one go.
Big trouble.
Lin Qi was sure that when they sent the information back, the ones who came here would definitely not be the masters of the Assassin's Guild, but the holy beings of the Acacia family. It was even possible that Yun Jun would personally take action to save his huge body.
With wealth, what can’t they do?
Gently pulling on Bilibili who was drinking heavily from the bottle, Lin Qi glanced at those people.
"Follow them out, kill them, and dispose of the bodies... If you have a good appetite, it would be best to eat them all."
Bilibili grinned, put down the bottle of wine and staggered out of the door of the mercenary union.
