These mercenary groups have almost no shortcomings except for the higher commission prices.
The composition of each mercenary group is slightly different, so the combat characteristics are also very different. Some mercenary groups are good at guarding, some are good at storming, some are good at concealment and surprise attacks, and some are good at
In field interception, no matter what combat characteristics the mercenary group belongs to, the overall combat effectiveness is undoubtedly very strong, and the teamwork ability is very strong. The members trust each other and usually accept difficult tasks with bounties issued by the noble lords.
.
Suldak and Karl quickly identified a mercenary group with thirty members.
The cost of hiring this mercenary group really cost Surdak a lot of money. The mercenary group needed to pay the salary on a daily basis. In the absence of war, Surdak had to pay the mercenary every day starting from the date of hiring.
The corps has five gold coins. In addition, you also need to pay a reward for killing enemy members in the mercenary station battle. Ordinary desert bandits have five gold coins per head.
No matter whether he is killed or injured in battle, Surdak does not need to pay additional pensions.
After talking about these, we made an agreement with this mercenary group that they should arrive at Wall Village in the deserted land in three days.
Walking out of the mercenary union, Karl smiled at Suldak and said: "Dak, after entering the desert, do you want this mercenary group to kill as many bandits as possible, or kill as few as possible, and just defeat them?"
That’s it?”
This is indeed a difficult multiple-choice question.
“…Why do you ask that?” Surdak asked as he walked down the steps.
Karl chuckled. He didn't know yet about the huge amount of gold coins hidden in Pussy Mountain. He turned around and said to Suldak: "I'm worried... if this mercenary group kills hundreds of desert bandits at once, wouldn't you?
Pay thousands of gold coins! Hey, Duck, when did you become so wealthy?"
According to Karl's thinking, even if Surdak owns a sulfur mine, if he wants to hire such a mercenary group of thirty people, he will probably have to tighten his belt in the next few months.
However, he did not worry about whether Surdak could pay the commission of the mercenary group. After all, Surdak still had a military expenditure to establish a guard battalion knight squadron, and Surdak could also get money from the municipal government.
He received a sum of military expenses for the militia camp from the hall, but Surdak was not able to spend the money yet.
“Well, I can still make a little profit from my sulfur mine.” Surdak said with a smile.
He was thinking about whether to tell the truth about a group of salamanders in the territory.
“We are going to meet that Viru!” Karl stood on the steps outside the mercenary union, looking to both sides of the street, looking for a magic caravan that he could ride on.
Surdak stood next to Karl, blocking Karl with his arm to stop him from shouting to stop a passing magic caravan, and said to him: "I'm going to see him. You can go back to the guard camp now. Don't be late for dinner tonight."
Just remember to call Tax Collector Byrd."
Karl was stunned for a moment, looked up at the winter afternoon sun, and said, "Well, I think I can still call Lance in time."
Suldak waved to Karl and walked towards the parade square of the city hall.
“Aren’t you going to ride in the magic caravan?” Karl shouted from behind.
Suldak did not answer, but tightened the collar of his leather jacket and strode along the street trees towards the parade square.
…
Aphrodite was sitting on a bench in the square. She wrapped herself in a warm fur coat and was basking in the sun against the cold north wind.
The sky is very blue, with only some cotton-like gray clouds on the horizon. There are not many people in the square. A group of pigeons landed on the granite paved ground, making "coo-coo-coo" sounds from time to time. Several children held
Some bread crumbs were sprinkled among the pigeons, which immediately attracted more pigeons to fall down.
Helensa City is a city with an extremely slow pace of life. The citizens here do not have high expectations for life. When they have money, they will choose to rest for a few months until they may go hungry if they don't start work tomorrow.
When they leave home to find a job, they know how to enjoy life better.
Not far away, on a bench at the edge of the square, some old people who came to the square to bask in the sun were sitting side by side.
Wearing thick cotton-padded clothes, they huddled together on a bench, looking around to see if anything new was happening around them, like sparrows huddled together on a clothesline.
Aphrodite breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Surdak walking back from the direction of the guard camp.
Although I was used to being left behind anytime and anywhere, seeing him appear in the square still made me feel an inexplicable joy.
Her smile looked pure and charming, and her black and purple eyes, which were like crystal grapes, were full of joy.
“I found out that there may be a foreign eagle eye in the city of Hiranza, and I am going to visit him.” Surdak walked to Aphrodite and said to her.
Aphrodite leaned on the bench, like a spoiled little girl stretching out her hands and letting Surdak pull her up from the bench.
“You want to take me there? Aren’t you afraid that I will cause trouble for you?”
Suldak said indifferently: "If we are still timid in Halanza City, then we might as well return to the deserted land immediately!"
After saying that, Suldak strode towards the roadside, and the succubus quickly followed happily...
…
Viru was lying on a wooden bed in a small hotel, with linen bandages tightly binding his body. Even half of his face was wrapped in a scarf. His hair was a little messy and tied together randomly.
There were several empty wine bottles on the wooden table. He poured the last bit of the wine bottle in his hand into his mouth, feeling a warmth rush into his stomach.
At this time, there seemed to be a fire burning in his heart, but it was a pity that the bottle of rum did not extinguish the fire.
He sighed. He felt that the fire elements were getting hotter and hotter, but his body was unable to integrate with the restless fire elements. It felt like a ball of fire was burning in his body.
Weiru never thought that at his age, a fire would break out in his heart.
This is definitely a good thing for any warrior. He knows that this is a precursor to awakening his sense of fire magic, but since he is already a level 19 demon-hunting archer, his body has already
He has already understood Qi, and he can even integrate Qi into arrows and shoot them out. His strong body naturally suppresses and repels the fire element, so he has been unable to obtain affinity with the fire element.
These fire elements in the body are like a ball of magma...
But for him now, it is very difficult to have affinity with the fire element. If he wants to integrate the flame in his heart into his body, he can only rely on some external forces, such as living in a forging workshop full of fire elements.
Drinking more strong alcohol, these attempts failed to improve his condition, so he began to search for fire monsters. A month ago, he accidentally encountered a piece of crystallized salamander meat in Bena City.
An inexplicable desire surged out of his body instinctively, letting him know that the Warcraft ingredient was probably what he had been looking for.
He found some clues that these salamander ingredients might come from a remote mountain town called Halanza, so he rushed here on a magic airship.
After living in this city for nearly ten days, there is still no clue about the salamander.
Sunlight shone into the room through the gap between the glass window curtains in the hotel room. There was only a very thin spot of light. He cursed in his heart: 'Damn life'!
Last night he had some nightmares. In the dream, he saw his former friends. They walked towards him one by one, with kind smiles on their faces. They walked up to him and said to him: 'We have been waiting for you here.
,Why don't you come over?'
Over the years, he has been looking for a way to break through himself, but these nightmares are wrapping around his body like magic vines.
The knock on the door made Vilu suddenly wake up from his drunken state. He sat up from the small bed. He had no familiar people in this small mountain town, so the people who could stand outside and knock on the door were except the hotel owner and the owner.
In addition to the street girl working in the hotel, he was probably someone who knew the news about the salamander. He shook his groggy head vigorously, stood up and kicked the empty bottle on the floor.
Suddenly there was a crashing sound...
Vilu staggered to the door, leaned against the wall instinctively, and opened the door...
…
Suldak showed his guard camp knight badge and easily found out the room where Viru lived from the hotel owner. He took the succubus Aphrodite up the hotel stairs and stood at the door of a room on the second floor.
.
The corridor smelled musty and was very cold.
A piece of windowpane at the end of the corridor was broken, and the north wind blew in, taking away the last bit of heat from the corridor.
It’s not that Suldak has never been to a civilian hotel, but among all the civilian hotels, none is worse than this one.
After carefully checking the license plate number on the door, Suldak reached out and knocked hard on the wooden door.
Then there was a "crash" sound in the room, as if a bottle had been poured over.
The wooden door was opened from the inside, and a pungent smell of alcohol came from the room. The smell was simply nauseating. A strange man with his body wrapped in bandages appeared at the door. His eyes were filled with tears.
He was bloodshot and had an irrepressible fire element aura all over his body, but he had a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to see through people. Especially when he looked at himself, a fierce aura suddenly burst out from his body.
As if he was a sharp arrow, Surdak was so frightened that he quickly took out the dwarf chain shield from his magic pocket.
Immediately afterwards, before Surdak could react, the weird man stepped forward, stretched out his arms and hugged Surdak fiercely.
Hold tightly...
Suldak was a little dazed at this moment. He could feel the weird man trembling all over. His body contained huge explosive power, so that it was difficult for Suldak, who had the aura of power, to break free for a while.
"Jonbach, you are still alive..."
It was like a huge fist knocked on his heart, and his heart seemed to suddenly stop beating.
When he implanted that dragon bone, he began to gradually merge with the memory left by another soul in his body. He could see many things in the past, and he could see the ice and snow in the north, mountains, rivers, and cities, but he
He has been careful not to touch them. He is worried that after having those memories, he will no longer be himself.
Although he didn’t know enough, he knew the name. He knew that this was the name of the original owner of the body.
…”
Suldak did not answer. He broke away from the hug with force, tried to keep his mood calm, and said calmly to the weirdo with bandages all over his body: "Sorry, you may have mistaken the person!"
Viru looked at Surdak again. He looked into his eyes, and the joyful look in his eyes dimmed little by little.
“Is this your new life?” Weiru asked again.
…”
Suldak did not answer.
Viru tried his best to control his emotions that were about to collapse, restrained his body from shaking violently, suppressed his emotions, lowered his head and said quietly: "Okay, I understand! Jonbach, I recognized the wrong person!"
After saying this, he wanted to close the door.
The fire elements gathered in Viru's body took advantage of his weakness and burst out in an instant, making Viru's blood boil. His whole body was like a cooked prawn, with an inexplicable feeling coming from his body.
of red.
In a daze, Weiru failed to insist on closing the door and fell directly to the floor of the room, making a dull sound from the floor.
Surdak and Aphrodite looked at each other. He had imagined many scenes after meeting, but he never thought that the Eagle Eye would give him a big hug after seeing him for the first time, and then turned around.
Passed out.
Aphrodite looked at Surdak with a surprised look, which was full of various complex emotions...
"Hello……"
Surdak instinctively squatted next to Vilu, turned him over from his prone position, and let him lie flat on the floor, keeping his breathing smooth. Then he reached out and touched his forehead, which was hot and hot.
hot.
Unfortunately, his body was covered with bandages and he was wearing a tough leather suit. Even if he wanted to untie these bandages, it would be impossible in a short time.
Regardless of whether it was useful or not, Surdak quickly cast the 'Holy Light Technique' on Weiru.
A beam of light filled with a sacred aura shrouded Weiru's body, immediately making his condition a little better.
“He seems to be a drunkard.” The succubus squatted aside and covered her nose with her hands, saying with disgust.
Then he said: "He seems to know your past. Do you want to know about your past? I can charm him when he wakes up again. Then you can extract his memories at any time at will!"
“I’m not that curious. He may have mistakenly recognized the person. Don’t crowd here and interfere with my efforts to save people.” Surdak shouted to Aphrodite.
“You also said you don’t know him...” Aphrodite put on a deceitful expression, but it was just as Suldak said, she stepped aside a little.
She curiously walked into the room with closed curtains. There were wine bottles everywhere in the room and was filled with an unpleasant smell of alcohol. She walked to the window and opened the curtains to let the sunlight shine into the room. She opened the window to let in the fresh air.
The cold wind blew in, and the strong smell of alcohol in the room was immediately washed away.
