Chapter 31 Mercenaries must rely on strength to speak
"That is...the Sword of Fire!"
Gus couldn't help but touch the hilt of the giant sword behind his shoulder. Heather's ridiculous strength left a deep impression on him. A mere staff officer in the Fire Sword Mercenary Regiment was so powerful. As a combatant,
The twelve knights are still not allowed to go to heaven?
Rickett, who was beside Gus, put his hand into his pocket and rubbed the skull gold coin, feeling a little uneasy.
Young people always have some unrealistic dreams. Even a weak boy like Rickett once dreamed of having powerful martial arts and a smart mind like Griffith. Of course, he would look at it every time he woke up from his dream.
His thin body then sighed secretly, the dream was just a dream after all.
But that day, a mysterious wizard named Heather gave him a strange gold coin and made a prophecy that he would become greater than Griffith.
Even though Rickett didn't believe it, he still planted the seed in his heart. He claimed to his friends that he had spent the gold coin, but in fact he had always kept the gold coin close to him as a precious amulet.
But now, Rickett saw with his own eyes the companions of the mysterious wizard, the legendary Fire Sword mercenary group.
If these knights really have the legendary power, then regarding the [Prophecy]... Thinking of this, Rickett clenched the skull gold coins tightly, his palms sweating slightly.
On the other side of the square, Sirius Black looked at the group of uninvited guests with a worried look on his face. He had also heard rumors about the [Sword of Fire], but mercenaries know mercenaries best. A powerful knight with one against a hundred is not unheard of since ancient times.
, but those knights all have their names in history and are fierce generals trained by great powers. Twelve of these strong men appeared at one time and they were all gathered into a little-known mercenary group, even if they were drunken third-rate soldiers.
Bards wouldn’t dare to sing like this, would they?
He winked at the adjutant next to him, who immediately said loudly: "Although the Eagle Group was established not long ago, it has made great achievements. If we compete with them for this mission, our Sirius Constellation Mercenary Group can also accept it. But... this group
What's going on with the wandering knights? Baron, General, aren't you two joking about the Sirius constellation and the Eagle Group?"
Griffith glanced at Sirius and said nothing. Casca behind him frowned. The other party was planning to forcibly bind the Eagle Group to their side, and first join forces to drive away the Fire Sword mercenary group.
Will the two sides compete again?
However, the Eagle Group has only been famous for a short period of time. If the Sirius Mercenary Group really has the right to speak, the possibility of getting this mission is very low.
When White Dog Garda heard the words of Lieutenant Sirius, his face was very ugly. The other party was secretly mocking him for leading the Sword of Fire mercenary group to have internal relations?
"Bastard! It's our freedom to choose who to participate in this mission recruitment..."
Before Garda could finish his words, he was interrupted by Adjutant Sirius: "So, do you really intend to decide the ownership of such an important task based solely on your personal preferences? Mercenaries must abide by mercenary rules. In this case,
I’m afraid neither of our two mercenary groups will agree! And it won’t be good for Mitlan’s reputation if it’s revealed, right?”
Not only Garda, but even Baron Mario froze when he twirled his mustache. The Kingdom of Mitland is not as good as the Yoda Empire. If you want to win this hundred-year war, the military background is not at the same level at all. You can only use
Financial resources to recruit those powerful mercenary groups. Once Mitlan's reputation in the mercenary world is ruined, it is foreseeable that those powerful mercenaries will no longer accept Mitlan's employment. Before the Yoda Empire destroys Mitlan, it is estimated that their dignity
The king will send them both to underground prison.
"Ah... Lord Garda, look..." Mario's face, which was already covered in thick powder, became increasingly pale, and he looked at Garda and the Knights of the Round Table behind him with a fake smile.
Garda was a little panicked and said in a low voice: "Wait a minute, your Majesty has given your consent for the Fire Sword Mercenary Group to join this recruitment and selection."
"You have also seen that Sirius, the leader in the mercenary world, has expressed dissatisfaction, and the Eagle Group also means the same. Compared with a small emerging mercenary group, I believe you can also decide which one is more important than the two major mercenary groups.
I understand. If Sirius and his group really come out and say that our Mitlan is acting unfairly, it will be His Majesty who will lose his prestige!" Putting aside everything else, Baron Mario's ability to blame others is quite good.
Garda trembled in fright and was about to say something, but Lancelot behind him spoke directly:
"General White Dog, don't bother me."
"you mean?"
"What the other party said is right, [Mercenaries must abide by mercenary rules]."
The black robe was ripped off from his head with a swish, and Lancelot revealed his ferocious dark blue full-cover armor, with red light flowing in the eye slits of the visor:
"I feel the challenge, then, I accept it!"
"Wha, what?" Before Garda could realize what Lancelot meant by 'challenge', he saw Lancelot clamping his legs and riding his horse towards the Sirius mercenary group.
What is that guy going to do? Both the members of the Sirius Mercenary Group and the Eagle Group watched in shock as Lancelot rushed towards the Sirius Constellation. What can one man and one horse do? Is he planning to go over and yell a few curses?
Taking it out?
The members of the Sirius Constellation Mercenary Group laughed one after another: "Hey! What do you want to do, kid? It is not feasible to change camps and defect to our Sirius Constellation now, hahaha!"
Before he finished speaking, Lancelot, who was riding on the horse, pulled out the dagger on his horse and threw it forward. The flagpole raised high by the Sirius Mercenary Group was accurately cut off at the waist.
Seeing the flag that symbolized the pride of the mercenary group falling into the dust, the mercenaries were stunned for a moment and then roared with fury.
This is a provocation! This is an insult! This is a challenge!
Sirius Black slowly raised his hand. Seeing the leader's attitude, the surrounding mercenaries had to temporarily suppress their anger. They stared at Lancelot with bloodshot eyes and heavy breathing.
Blake put down his hand and put his fingers on the hilt of the sword at his waist: "Sword of Fire Mercenary Group, do you want to start a war? Or are you planning to use the name of White Dog Garda to vent your anger?"
"Mercenary, strength speaks for itself, right?" Lancelot's slightly dull voice came from behind the visor.
"That's right, our Sirius Constellation Mercenary Group has 1,200 members, each of whom is well-equipped and experienced in many battles. There are only twelve of you and you are unknown. Isn't it obvious who is stronger and who is weaker?"
Although he was furious in his heart, Blake did not want to directly attack the Fire Sword mercenary group in front of White Dog Garda and Baron Mario in this castle. He just suppressed his temper and said in a deep voice:
"This time, for the sake of General White Dog, please stand down and get out of this castle. When we meet again on the battlefield next time, I will make you pay with blood for your unreasonable behavior."
Blake responded with Lancelot's deep laughter.
"One thousand, two hundred people, um, a very good number. We have twelve people here, so..."
Clang! Lancelot pulled out his sword, lifted it with one hand and pointed it at Black:
"I will fight on the Sword of Fire side. You can choose a hundred people to fight with me. Whoever loses will get out of this castle."
