Chapter 32 Recruiting Mercenaries

"Captain, it seems that a noble has arrived recently. Judging from his movements, he should be a military noble."

"Lawson, what do you mean?" Sylvia narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Maybe we can go see if he needs help." Rosen shrugged his shoulders, his thick muscles trembling with his actions.

"Oh, it's also an opportunity. You should find a chance to get in touch with them." Sylvia shook her head, but she didn't refuse, although he knew the chance might not be great.

"No, maybe we can talk now." At this moment, Xionghou's voice came over, making Sylvia and Rosen's expressions change greatly.

"Qiang!"

The sound of the sword being unsheathed was clear, but Sylvia and Rosen had already unsheathed their swords in the blink of an eye, staring in the direction of the incoming person.

"Haha, don't be nervous, you two. I am Kevin, the military director under Sir Carl." Kevin chuckled, not caring that the two men's swords were already pointed at him.

"Sir Carl's military chief?" Sylvia frowned slightly.

"The nobleman who came recently seems to be named Carl Dias." Rosen hesitated and said.

"Heh, it seems you have a song for asking for information." Kevin nodded approvingly.

"How did you find this place?" Sylvia said coldly. You must know that this is not a well-known hotel, and ordinary people cannot find this place.

"Hey, I was just a mercenary not long ago, so I naturally know where you people usually stay." Kevin sneered, there is something called an occupational disease.

"Mercenary?" Sylvia was a little confused. Didn't he just say that he was the military chief under Sir Carl?

"Just recently, I officially joined Lord Karl's staff, became his attendant, and was appointed as the military commander by him." Kevin explained.

Sylvia and Rosen looked at each other and slowly put down their swords.

"Then this military chief seems to be called Kevin, right? So what is the purpose of your visit today?" Sylvia sat down again and asked.

"Ha, what else do you think it would be like for a noble's men to find mercenaries?" Sylvia laughed, sat down on her own, and even poured herself a glass of water and drank it all.

Kevin smacked his lips, feeling that his dry throat was a little moist, and nodded with satisfaction.

Not only did his actions not offend Sylvia, but she felt more friendly. The mercenaries were usually less restrained, and they could get along more harmoniously with them if they were bolder.

"So, your noble is planning to hire us?" Sylvia said in a deep voice. If that's the case, that would be great. At least they can solve their life problems.

"That was true at the beginning, but things have changed a bit now..." Kevin shook the glass of water and chuckled.

"What do you mean?" Sylvia's voice turned cold instantly. Is the other party playing with her?

"According to the news I recently inquired about, your mercenary team should be in a very difficult situation right now." Kevin specifically emphasized the word "difficulty", which made Sylvia look a little embarrassed.

"This seems to have nothing to do with you, right? Or do you want to take advantage of the situation?" Sylvia snorted coldly. He no longer had any intention of being hired. He was now sure that the other party had no good intentions.

"No, no, no, I think you misunderstood." Kevin smiled and shook his head.

"Go on."

"My Jazz hopes to recruit you directly." Kevin finally stated his purpose.

Sylvia's eyes tightened and she looked sharply at Kevin. Lawson on the side was also startled by the sudden words and stood up.

Kevin wasn't nervous either, he just drank tea by himself and waited for the other person to calm down.

After a long while, Sylvia finally calmed down and returned to her seat.

"I came here directly to recruit mercenaries. Are you taking it too much for granted?" Sylvia shook her head, but her voice softened a lot. His eyes were constantly changing, but most people couldn't see it because of the hair covering.

.

"Take it for granted? No, don't take it for granted at all. If I remember correctly, those of you who don't want to be recruited have already left." Kevin smiled and said.

Sylvia's expression changed again. He looked at Kevin deeply. He felt more and more that this man was so terrible that he even inquired about such a thing.

Although many people know that the mercenary team here has been split, few people know the reason. But now a person who came here not long ago knows.

"It seems that you have made enough preparations." Sylvia sighed. At this point, there is nothing more to say. She knows everything about the other party.

"Mr. Kevin, you just said that you were a mercenary not long ago and now you are a military controller. But I think you might as well be a spymaster. Maybe that is more suitable for you."

"Ha, I would like to thank you for your compliments and suggestions, but I personally prefer galloping on the battlefield." Kevin said openly, not caring whether the other party was sarcastic.

After a long while, Sylvia finally continued: "Can you tell me about your master, who is that knight?"

Kevin slowly put down the water glass. He knew that the real thing was coming now. The other party was definitely not asking about trivial matters such as Carl's life. The leader of the mercenaries wanted to measure whether Carl really had the ability to recruit them.

"My master, Sir Carl Dias, is Lord Sylde, personally named by the Earl of Lens. He is in charge of Sylder Manor and its affiliated villages." Kevin said briefly and concisely.

"The Earl's personal title?" Kevin was a little confused. He remembered that the new noble seemed to be quite young. He thought he would be some second-generation descendant who inherited the title of his father.

Seeing the confused look on his face, Kevin briefly told what Karl had done.

"Ah...if what you said is true, then this Sir Carl Dias is really a qualified commander." Sylvia felt a little admired after hearing this.

"Maybe it's just that this gentleman is a little flattering." Lawson on the side said, he didn't really believe that a young man was so powerful.

"Hey, what's the point of me lying to you about this kind of thing? Even if you are willing to send some people to Rensburg County to inquire about it, you can get more specific things. Lord Sir's miracle has been spread there like an epic.

." Kevin said disdainfully.

Rosen was speechless, and finally returned to his seat silently, because he knew that what the other party said was right, and there was no need for the other party to lie to them here.

"Is he a military noble with a manor and a village? I've heard of Seld Manor and Seld Village. It's a prosperous place. I admit that Sir Carl does have the ability to recruit us." Sylvia nodded.

, various thoughts kept colliding in his mind.

"So what price can you give?" Sylvia asked.

"Please make an offer." Kevin is a smart man. He did not take the initiative to offer an offer, but asked the other party to raise it.

Sylvia took a deep look at the other party, pondered for a moment, and said: "Give us three hundred silver natas a year, and the military pay will be settled every week."

"Three hundred Silver Natas? My friend, I hope you are not joking." Kevin shrugged, looking noncommittal.

"There are fifty of us, and each of us has leather armor and swords. We are worth the price." Sylvia said solemnly.

"If this is your offer, then I want to remind you one thing, my friend, now, I am not discussing the price of hiring you, but recruiting you. You will become a regular army under Sir Carl.

You will have comfortable houses and enough food. The most important thing is that you were hired to fight in the past, but now even if you are recruited, you may not encounter a war for several years. At most, you can protect the manor.

Don't be robbed by bandits." Kevin shook his head, his eyes seeming to say you really dare to think.

Sylvia was silent. His mind was still thinking about mercenaries. It had to be said that in terms of recruitment, his price was indeed too expensive.

"Maybe you are right, but I am curious, why does Sir Carl need to recruit us?" Sylvia suddenly asked.

Kevin glanced at him and said: "Lord Carl has just been entrusted. Although there is a group of troops guarding the Silder Manor, it is not enough."

Sylvia understood that the noble was afraid that he would not be able to control the situation in the manor when he first arrived.

"Flo people...yes, there are Flo people." Sylvia thought of this again. Sylder Manor was close to the territory of the Flo people.

"Two hundred silver natas, two hundred a year, this is our lowest price." Sylvia said.

"Two hundred Silver Natas..." Kevin touched his chin, which means that on average, each person can get five Silver Natas a year. This price is quite appropriate, despite the fact that he has visited Baron Savu before.

Every territory requires a Silver Natas. You must know that in this era, those who need to pass through other territories are either nobles or itinerant merchants. They are not short of money. In fact, a Silver Natas is really not a shortage.

And you must know that soldiers receive more than just salary. They also receive various bonuses and various trophies on the battlefield, which add up to a large amount of money.

"Okay, two hundred silver Natas for one year's military pay, deal is done, how long will it take you to assemble?" Kevin made a decision, and Carl gave him authority in this area. After all, Carl didn't understand these things, so naturally he wouldn't do much.

Tube.

"We can set off at any time." Sylvia said. With nothing to do for so long, every mercenary is idle.

"Tomorrow afternoon, all of you will gather outside Kantano Castle and we will go to Silder Manor together." Kevin said.

"Of course, no problem, sir." Sylvia agreed readily.

Now that the two parties had reached an agreement, their anger naturally subsided and they started chatting with each other over drinks.

"Mr. Kevin, can you tell us about your transition from a mercenary to a military commander under Sir Carl Dias? I am very curious." Sylvia said seemingly casually.

Kevin narrowed his eyes slightly, laughing in his heart that the other party was trying to find out some truth, but he remained calm and just said: "Of course it's no problem my friend, in fact it's my pride."

Kevin started talking and narrated his story vividly, starting from the tavern that seemed to be arranged by God. I have to say that Kevin's storytelling ability is indeed good. Sylvia and others listened.

They all showed incredible expressions.

In fact, this is indeed an honor and pride for him. Mercenaries are humble, at least mercenaries like him who wander around looking for employers are humble, but such a mercenary eventually became a

A noble military commander, to put it mildly, it is not necessarily impossible for him to go out and say that he is also a noble. This is already a great honor for him who is a mercenary.

"Sir, you must be very grateful to Sir Carl Dias." Sylvia smiled.

"Of course, I will protect everything Mr. Carl does. As long as he asks me to do it, anyone who dares to harm Mr. Carl, I will definitely make him pay the price." Kevin narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled.

Sylvia also smiled, as if she couldn't hear the threat in the other person's words.

It was late at night when Kevin left here, leaving only Sylvia who was in a deep silence.
