This group of people is naturally the Blood Ax mercenary group that Nord, Ryan, and Teresa went on the mission with.
Boris is a very common name in the empire. From the nobles to the common people, there are many people named Boris. For example, there are several typical names in the empire, such as "Muller", "Thomas", "Miller" and "Kevin".
"Louse" and so on, if these names are called in the village, there may be dozens of people.
Boris is also such a name. In history, emperors of the empire were all named Boris. It is very common for the leader of the Blood Ax Mercenary Group, Boris, and the White Wolf Elector Boris Todbringer to have the same name.
Upon seeing this, Ryan started chatting with Boris. As time passed, the Blood Ax Mercenary Group knew that Ryan's status was not what it used to be. They were already respectful when talking to him, and they didn't even dare to look at him.
The current situation of the Blood Ax Mercenary Group is not very good.
After a series of events six years ago, the Blood Ax Mercenary Group suffered heavy losses. There were only a dozen people left in the original mercenary group of dozens. In addition, they were deceived by the great alchemist Galt.
In despair.
In the end, it was Emilia who "sold herself" to Ryan and helped them get through the difficulties.
After that, the Blood Ax Mercenary Group worked for Gelt twice and made a little money. The group leader Boris, who was recovering from his injuries in Winter City, also sold the headquarters of Winter City and chose to come to the south of the empire.
In Boris's opinion, there are more opportunities here and the residents are richer. Perhaps the Blood Ax Mercenary Group, which has suffered serious blood loss, can gain some opportunities.
It took two or three years for Boris and Wilt to rebuild the Blood Ax Mercenary Group and restore it to a size of about forty people. Relying on the relationship with the Imperial Academy of Wizards, this mercenary group is now mainly in the Empire.
Restrain activities and make a living by taking on tasks.
The southern part of the empire is rich and densely populated, so both residents and nobles here like to use mercenaries or find churches to come forward to solve security problems outside the city. At first, the Blood Ax Mercenary Group relied on Galt's relationship to take a few orders.
mission, and made some money. However, as Galt's strength increased by leaps and bounds, he no longer valued Boris and his gang. The Blood Ax mercenary group evolved into being hired by the nobles in Rickland to fight against bandits and some small groups.
The beastmen tribe.
"Do you know Ryan and this group of mercenaries?" Emperor Karl-Franz asked Sulia.
"Yes, Ryan set out from the Nordic capital six years ago to hunt down the fallen hunter Belt. He acted with the Gloria witch Miss Theresa. At that time, Miss Theresa hired the Blood Ax mercenary group." Female Knight
Luoluo introduced it generously, and she gave a brief introduction very politely.
Recently, Rick led an expedition knight named Kalad. This expedition knight chanted the name of the Lake God and started his Holy Grail expedition from Rick's territory. He was dressed in bright clothes and angry horses, holding the blessing of the Lake God.
He used the divine sword "Durandale" and rode the pure-blood elf war horse "Galipa", asking the residents of Reikland where there was evil.
In one month, Kalad killed two cyclops, five trolls, one beastman and beast king, one beastman warband, one night goblin shaman, one zombie dragon on the gray mountains, and one mad whispering beast.
There was a four-armed bull demon in Rickward Forest, and then this expeditionary knight floated south with a large bag of bounty gold coins, leaving only his legend in Rickland.
"Your Excellency Kalad is a close friend of Ryan and me. He started his Holy Grail expedition after attending our wedding." Sulia said politely, she smiled at the emperor: "I can hear the news from him.
, I am very happy that he has always been a loyal believer in women."
"Your Excellency Kalad is really a brave and resolute man. After hearing about his deeds, I wanted to meet him, but Lord Kalad declined me and he went to the southwest." Karl-Franz felt a little regretful.
The personal bravery of the Brittanian Knights is too strong, as is Ryan, and so is Kalad. The Holy Grail Knights can often solve problems alone in small wars. Even in large wars, with or without their leadership, the Knights
The combat effectiveness they displayed is also at two levels.
As we all know, the charge power of a knight group often depends on the first knight to lead the charge. As long as the first knight in the lance formation is strong enough and brave enough, the knights behind will naturally dare to follow him fearlessly.
Charge together from behind.
(8 said, start charging!)
There are not many such strong men in the Empire, and Emperor Karl-Franz can especially feel this when he often leads the charge. This is also an important reason why the Empire's knights are not as powerful as the Knights of the Kingdom of Britannia.
After chatting with Boris for a while, Ryan asked casually: "Captain Boris, are you planning to take over the work now? Isn't it almost the Winter Veil Festival?"
"Hey, it's really unlucky to say it. Mr. Ryan, let me tell you that the mercenary group is in some difficulties right now." The mercenary leader sighed: "Recently, Rick brought an expedition knight called Kalad. He took it.
There were many tasks, and they were ridiculously powerful. A lot of the work of the mercenaries was done by him, which made us strapped for funds. We had to decide to do one more before the Winter Veil Festival, but as a result, we encountered these profiteers who were crazy about lowering the price."
After hearing this, Ryan secretly laughed. People like the Expeditionary Knights are indeed very disruptive to the market order, because the Expeditionary Knights are extremely powerful. They accept various bounties and announcements not to make money, but to ensure their living expenses during the Holy Grail expedition.
To put it bluntly, even if the expedition knights can eat, how much will it cost to live and repair equipment?
Suffering is the suffering of mercenaries. Kalad left after Rick led him around. The mercenaries suffered. The nobles and businessmen took the opportunity to lower prices crazily. There were fewer tasks available on the market. The buyer's market turned into a seller's market. The blood
The Ax Mercenary Group was forced to come out to take over the mission. According to the mercenary leader, they couldn't survive the Winter Veil Festival.
It's a bit miserable, Ryan thought. He thought that the Blood Ax Mercenary Group was the sequelae of Theresa's trap. He wanted to provide some help within his ability, but he thought that this was in the Empire, not Britannia.
, he could only shake his head with a wry smile: "I have something to do and I have to leave first. Let's see you again if we have a chance."
"It's okay, Mr. Ryan, just go about your business." Captain Boris, of course, noticed the Rick Guards and the Emperor behind him, and nodded quickly: "It's okay."
Coming out of the mercenary guild, Emperor Karl Franz said with great interest: "You actually got to know that group of mercenaries. In Rickland, there may be a thousand such mercenary groups. You just came to lead them."
Rickland happened to meet them, it was really a blessing from the goddess of luck.”
"No, in fact, this mercenary group was extremely unlucky to meet Theresa and I." Ryan shook his head repeatedly: "When we were hunting down the fallen hunters, my partner Theresa, the witch of Gloria, hired them, and the result was that
They suffered a terrible disaster, and only a dozen people from the entire mercenary group died."
"Luck is sometimes a disaster. If you can't bear it but do it reluctantly, the precious opportunity may be a call for destruction." Emperor Karl-Franz paused and raised his gaze to the gloomy sky.
"..." Both Ryan and Sulia felt that there was something in the emperor's words.
"Tell me, Ryan, from a human perspective, is the arrival of Lord Teclis a valuable opportunity for the empire, or is it a terrible disaster?"
