"Actually, it doesn't matter whether you have a gun or not," Asker said. "Skeletons are afraid of close combat, ghosts are afraid of spells, vampires are afraid of sieges, and corpse witches are afraid of sniping. Firearms are only somewhat effective against corpse witches, and they must have a high rate of fire and a high
A sniper rifle with penetrating power will do, ordinary firearms cannot hit it."
"You are wrong." The leader of the Bull mercenary shook his head, raised his finger and said, "All undead, regardless of race, are most afraid of..."
He deliberately lengthened his voice, waiting for Aske to ask what it was.
However, Asik did not ask, but just looked at him strangely with his arms folded, so the bull mercenary became a little angry and said:
"The undead only fear Macho."
Ask:???
Macho, a dialect of the Iberian Peninsula, has a very vivid meaning when translated into Chinese, which is called "macho man".
"The undead are only afraid of macho men." The bull mercenary showed his strong arms as a demonstration and said, "Whether they are skeletons, ghosts, vampires or corpse witches, only real macho men can defeat them."
"Look at your arms, which are as thin as toothpicks. Can you hold a big sword? Can you lift a shield? Even if a skeleton is placed here, can you move it? Can you withstand the opponent's attack without being hacked to death?
?”
"It sounds like you have a lot of experience in dealing with the undead." Asik smiled slightly, "I have no problem with either sword or shield. Maybe I can join you?"
Of course, he is also aware of the urinary nature of the noble lords in this world, and they must look down upon mercenaries.
For example, Sheila's grandfather Appilios said that mercenaries are a career with no future. They live in no fixed place and travel around the world, relying on wars in various places to make a living. Sooner or later, they will be tolerated by the lords of various places.
The lords only regard mercenaries as a temporary source of supplementary military strength. Once the military construction in the territory is complete, they will regard mercenaries as a serious threat to public order... This can be said to be a very insightful statement.
Since the Bull Mercenary Group just said that the city lord currently only recruits noble knights who come from all over the country for support, his attitude has been clearly expressed to the outside world:
The city of Valencia is now able to protect itself, and has not yet fallen to the point where it needs to rely heavily on mercenaries as its main military force.
Therefore, even if Cangqing Sword has the certification documents from the Holy See, it is unlikely that he will get much benefit from meeting the city lord. You must know that the Bull Mercenary Group is also a support force authorized by the Holy See! However, listening to the tone of this Bull Mercenary,
He seemed to be very resentful towards the city lord and the knights, so it was obvious what happened.
This small team of the Bull Mercenary Group didn't know the strange man in front of them. They just exchanged a few words with them and guessed the political situation in Valencia. They just heard that he wanted to join.
The Bull Mercenary Group immediately started to show off.
"Our Bull Mercenary Group is currently only willing to recruit capable mercenaries. You said you are good at using swords and shields? We don't believe this. Mercenaries are a profession that relies on weapons. You can give us some weapons first.
have a look."
So a bull mercenary stepped forward and stuck the heavy sword on his back on the ground. Another mercenary also stepped out and dropped the tower shield that was as tall as him, and smashed it to the ground with a duang sound.
"Try it." The leader of the patrol team crossed his arms and said.
Asker hummed, then stepped forward, grabbed the hilt of the sword with his right hand, pulled it up from the ground, and waved it casually a few times.
The Bull mercenary group were stunned when they saw this: Although this guy is thin, he still looks a bit strong! He can actually swing a broad sword that usually needs to be held with both hands with one hand, and his expressions and movements are pretty good.
Looks very relaxed?
Just when everyone was stunned, they saw Asker step on the edge of the tower shield again, forcing the upper part of it to stand upright. Then he grabbed the shield handle with his left hand and lifted it, lifting the metal tower shield that was large enough to protect the whole body.
He held it in his hand.
"Like this?" He held the tower shield in his left hand and the giant sword in his right hand, performing a "shield strike" + "continuous thrust". The movements were so smooth that it was as if the shield and sword in his hands were weightless. The brows of the Bull mercenaries were also frowned upon.
A little jump.
I made a mistake... I really made a mistake. Although this guy is a new recruit who knows nothing, but with his terrifying strength that can easily wield a giant sword and a shield, he is just as good as being included in the team and serving as cannon fodder for the Blades.
It's pretty good - maybe he can survive a few fierce battles and grow up quickly.
Then everyone showed a reserved expression and said slowly:
"Well... although your movements are still a bit rusty, your physical fitness is not bad. Among the recruits of our Bull Mercenary Group, you have barely reached the passing mark. Well... you should be able to join us."
"That's great." Asik said with a smile when he heard the other party agreed, "In addition, I have a few companions..."
"Are you the leader of the mercenary group?" The Bull mercenaries asked in shock when they heard that this man actually had companions.
"Yes, a small mercenary group." Asik explained modestly, "including me, there are nine people in total."
"Oh." The Bull mercenaries expressed their understanding. It's normal for newcomers to be a little ambitious, "Well, after you join us, you can be your own recommender and recommend your companions. Of course, assessment is still necessary.
.”
"Are we still going to take the assessment?" Ask asked in surprise.
"Absolutely! We are not professional recruiting officers. We are just checking in advance whether your strength is qualified." Everyone said in a hurry, "Let's go, let's go back to the camp."
The headquarters of the Bull Mercenary Group is located in a small town called "Paporta" in the south of Valencia, about 1.8 kilometers away from Valencia. The town is connected to the urban area by a subway tunnel, and the subway runs from Valencia
The bishops are responsible for maintenance and will deliver supplies to the Bull Mercenary Group every day.
On the other hand, once Piporta falls, the undead will be able to enter the city along the subway tunnel and from under the Turia River. Therefore, the Bull Mercenary Group has deployed a large number of troops and defense lines here, which can almost be said to be "three
"One patrol every step, one sentry every five steps", the strict guarding shows the style of a large mercenary group.
After the patrol team returned to camp, they first reported their password and registered at the entrance. After undergoing certain inspections, they took Asker to find the recruitment officer of the Bull Mercenary Group.
"You're quite a young man." The recruiting officer was a short, bald old man with a gray beard. He looked at Aske from behind his small round glasses, "What did you do before?"
"Mercenary." Ask replied with a smile.
"I'm asking you what you did before you became a mercenary!" The old man was speechless.
"Oh, I work in the company." Asik replied.
"Hmm." The old man touched his beard and asked, "How long have you been a mercenary?"
"It's almost five years." Asik sighed with emotion. Before and after time travel, it's almost five years.
"Oh?" The old man stared at him. This young man was probably in his early twenties, so he started working in the mercenary industry in his teens? Could he be a boy scout?
After thinking for a moment, he took out a resume blank template next to him and pushed it on the desktop:
"Fill in your personal information, then go to the No. 1 training ground, and first find 'Mad Barrow' for a close combat assessment."
"Crazy Barrow?" the Bull mercenaries who brought him here exclaimed, "No, that guy never attacks lightly, he is fierce and ruthless, you want this newcomer to go up against him?"
"Yesterday Madman Barrow accidentally killed a new recruit again." The old recruiter replied, "Now the above said that he is specifically responsible for assessing applicants with "more than 3 years of combat experience." The new recruit you brought here claims to be engaged in
The mercenary industry has been in the business for almost five years, how come it can’t even withstand the attacks of Madman Barrow?”
"Ahem, newcomers always like to present themselves in interviews." So everyone quickly winked at Asker and told him to clarify quickly, "It's almost five years, doesn't it mean that it's not yet five years.'1
Year' is almost five years old, and '2 years' is almost five years old. He didn't say how many years exactly!"
"Well, to be specific..." Asik recalled carefully, "it should be 4 years and 9 months."
Everyone is stunned. We are asking you to report at a low level, not a specific number that is accurate to the month!
"Look, the newcomers are quite confident." The old man, the recruiting officer, suddenly became happy, "Don't worry! When you deal with Crazy Barrow later, just say that it was old Pablo who asked you to go, and ask him to look after him.
