The Gray Wolf Mercenary Group's station is not far from the Municipal Square. After walking for more than ten minutes, the two returned to the station. There was a two-story cement rock brick house next to the street. There was a porch outside the door. They walked up the steps.
The porch and door are half open.
Nathan led Steven into the room, and what he saw was a hall. There was a door on the opposite side of the hall, leading to the inner courtyard. There was a faint sound of clanging swords in the inner courtyard.
There was a long row of leather sofas on one side of the hall, and a writing desk against the wall on the other side. A woman sat behind her. She raised her head to greet Nathan, and at the same time looked at Steven with curious eyes.
"Ms. Lelisa, this is Mr. Steven, the peripheral member of the operation I just recruited. He will participate in our next operation. You will register him later. Now take him upstairs to choose a lounge.
For this gentleman’s use.” Nathan said to the lady after saying hello, and then introduced Steven to Ms. Lelisa, the internal affairs officer of the mercenary group.
Ms. Lelisa, who is in her 30s and wearing a white gauze headscarf, stood up and nodded to Steven and said, "Please follow me, Mr. Steven, I will take you upstairs."
Steven nodded to Nathan and then followed Lelisa towards the corridor on the side of the hall. Nathan said from behind: "Steven, come to the backyard after you have registered."
Steven nodded in agreement, and then followed Lelisa to the second floor. Under her leadership, he randomly selected a bedroom, put the canvas bag containing the steel-armed hunting bow in the room, and then followed Lelisa back to the hall.
Registered at the desk.
After registering, Steven said goodbye to Ms. Lelisa and went to the backyard. It was a large yard. There was a stable at the end of the yard. Next to it was an iron gate leading to the outside of the wall. There were high walls built around it.
, some mercenaries were training in the training ground on one side of the yard, and two mercenaries were competing with swords on the playground in the middle of the yard, and they were having a lively fight.
Steven noticed that the long swords held by the two competing mercenaries were unedged two-handed swords. The blade length of this two-handed sword reached 1.2 meters, and the total length of the handshake was close to 1.5 meters.
The weight of the training sword is so staggering that it would be difficult for ordinary warriors to wield it, let alone use it in battle.
Near the wall is a training ground. Nathan is standing on the sidelines talking to a young female mercenary. There are several mercenaries in the training ground who are lifting weights and practicing bows and arrows.
Nathan saw Steven walking into the inner courtyard and waved to him. Steven walked over quickly. Nathan said to him: "Steven, let me introduce you. This is Edie, the deputy leader of the mercenary group."
Si, a long-range attacker who is good at bow and arrow and flintlock shooting, Edith, this is Steven, he will join the operation of the Chesan Town commissioned mission as a temporary member, counted as a peripheral personnel."
Edith stretched out her hand and said: "Hello, Steven! I heard from the boss that you entered the Glen Mountains through the Blue Swamp?! I admire your actions! Should I say you are very lucky? Or should I say
Do you have amazing strength?"
Steven reached out and gently shook her hand. It felt a little rough but also very strong. He thought in his heart, but at the same time he said: "Miss Edith, as a warrior, I have certain strength! But many times
Good luck is obviously more useful!”
Edith nodded and said with an understanding look on her face: "Just call me Edith! Just remove the word "Miss"! As a warrior of the mercenary group, calling me "Ms." is not at all appropriate.
!”
Steven nodded: "Okay, Edith."
This female warrior looks to be under 30 years old, with short chestnut hair that reaches her neck, a straight nose, slightly dark skin, and a confident light in her blue eyes, giving her a wild beauty.
At this time, the two mercenaries in the middle of the square who had just been competing with swords stopped their competition and came over. The mercenaries who had just been training also surrounded them.
A burly, muscular mercenary asked in a loud voice: "Boss! There is a new member in our group? Introduce him to us!"
After he finished speaking, before Nathan could speak, he stretched out his hand to shake Steven's hand, and then introduced himself: "My name is Joad! I am a shield-bearing warrior of the mercenary group. From now on, I will be in the battle.
Protect you! At the same time, I will give you my back! Oh! I haven’t asked you what your name is yet? Are you a long-range attacker or a melee fighter?"
Nathan pinched his forehead with his hands and said: "Joad! Pause! Wait until I introduce him to everyone before you communicate with him, okay?!"
After speaking, he said to everyone without waiting for Joad to speak: "This is Steven. He is a soldier and will be a peripheral member of the mission in the Chesang Town incident. Steven is not a mercenary yet, but he will
Participate in this operation as a peripheral member."
He paused and then said: "Now, let me first introduce the commission from Chesang Town that I received today..."
Nathan told all the members of the mercenary group the commission from the farmer in Chesan Town in detail, and finally said: "I just discussed with Edith, and we decided that the main participants in this operation will be those who had a bye last time.
Members, in addition, in order to ensure the completion of the mission, Edith will participate in this operation, do you have any opinions on this?"
All the mercenaries responded in unison: "No objection! Boss!"
At this time, a mercenary said: "Boss! You said that Mr. Steven will participate in this operation as a peripheral member, but is he willing to be a cook, a handyman, or a coachman? After all, he is a warrior. I think that let
It is an inappropriate choice for a warrior to do those jobs!"
Edith also asked beside her: "Steven, why don't you join the mercenary group? As long as you pass the assessment, you can become a formal member of the mercenary group and can legitimately participate in entrusted tasks as a mercenary.
You can make much more money by participating in the operation than by being on the periphery!”
Steven touched his nose and had a headache. He had to tell the truth: "I have ties with me, so I can't stay in Murphy City for a long time, but I am in urgent need of money now, so I can only make money in this way."
, the mercenary guild strictly limits short-term contracts, so there is no other way."
On the way, Steven learned about some mercenary groups and mercenaries through Nathan. In addition to passing the assessment, mercenaries recruited by the mercenary group must also be registered in the guild and sign a contract with the mercenary group for more than two years.
The contract must also be filed with the guild.
Moreover, as a mercenary group, it is not allowed to unilaterally terminate the contract signed with the mercenary. On the contrary, the mercenary can terminate the contract at any time as long as he pays the mercenary group a liquidated damages. Steven is confused about this and has heard about it.
After Sen's explanation, he understood why such a rule was required.
The purpose of this is actually to protect the rights of mercenaries. In terms of the status of both parties to the contract, the mercenary group is undoubtedly the stronger party. If the mercenary is injured during the mission and affects his combat effectiveness or even becomes disabled, the mercenary group will
The contract cannot be terminated easily. If you want to do so, you must negotiate with the other party, pay the other party a satisfactory fee, and then have the mercenary himself propose to terminate the contract.
Of course, it is also feasible for the mercenary to terminate the contract without authorization under normal circumstances without being injured, but doing so will definitely affect his reputation and reduce the possibility of him successfully applying for jobs in the future.
