After arranging the affairs of the guild properly, under the leadership of Luther, five people, including Slang, rushed to Conn City together. Luther, as the vice president of Star City Guild, actually did not often participate in the guild's affairs.
For management work, I spend most of my time away from home, and the guild mainly relies on Slang to take care of it.
Who would have thought that a receptionist would be a special mercenary. After Luther's introduction, Silang and Yaliqi also became familiar with each other. Luther never married and had children in his life, and Silang was his adopted son.
He is an orphan, and he shares the same love as father and son. Under his guidance, Si Lang reached the intermediate level of martial arts commander before he was thirty years old. Over the years, he has been training continuously on the mainland, and finally got the title of special-level mercenary of the Mercenary Guild.
Title, due to Luther's efforts, he was assigned to Star City to assist Luther.
"I always felt that masters were hard to find in the past, but now I feel that masters are everywhere. How can I become the focus and attract the attention of beautiful women?" During a break, Kerry found that everyone he met along the way was, at least,
They are people at the level of martial arts masters. There are countless martial arts masters and generals, and even military commanders have met dozens of them. There are also some people whose level cannot be seen. They are either ordinary people or masters.
"Kerry, you are not bad at all. You have entered the realm of military commander at such a young age, and your future is bright." Silang said with a smile.
"Stop chilling me." Kerry looked annoyed.
"When you find that there are many masters around you, it only means that you have become a master yourself," Luther said.
Yes, whenever I need to look up, I always find that the heights are far away from me, but unknowingly, I have achieved the achievements that others need to look up to. Kerry made eye contact with a young man passing by by the roadside.
, I immediately thought of this from the other person’s eyes.
"You guys are really bullying people. You didn't know there was a junior magician here!" Sonny's angry expression made everyone laugh, but even he himself didn't know where his strength had reached.
After resting for a while, they continued on their way and saw Conn City before dark.
"Hurry up a few steps, the city gate is about to close," Yalic said.
"No, the city gate will not be closed." Luther said calmly.
"Don't close the city gate? Why?"
"Why do you think Conn City withdrew its troops to defend the city? From the day the seal was destroyed, anyone entering or leaving Conn City will have to pay either two magic cores or twenty gold coins each time they enter or leave," Luther explained.
.
"Ah! No, isn't this a way to make money from disaster?" Yalic said in surprise.
"Who says it's not, but what can be done? After all, it is their territory, and Conn City mobilized hundreds of thousands of people to build such a long defensive wall in a short period of time!" Luther waved his hand and said nothing about this topic.
I don't plan to continue talking.
When entering the city, they paid a total of one hundred gold coins, but they did not stay in the city. They went straight out of the city along the south gate. Of course, they still had to pay one hundred gold coins. After leaving the city gate, Luther took them with him.
Walking to the west, there were temporary shelters built everywhere along the way, and even more tents. These people seemed to have divided the territory. When they arrived at their destination, they saw two groups of people. One group was definitely
The people from the Magician's Guild can be easily recognized, because they have built some high stone platforms where they are. Most of the magicians are staying on the stone platforms, and they have also built many stone platforms.
There are tents, and there are at least dozens of magicians on each stone platform. There are nearly a thousand such stone platforms, stretching for dozens of miles. I don’t know how they built them in such a short period of time.
Further west, there are small teams of dozens of people. Their number does not seem to be much less than the stone platforms of the Magicians Guild, but the area occupied by these small teams is much smaller than that of the Magicians Guild.
Then he stopped and Luther said: "From now on, the area thirty miles to the west will be the defensive range of our mercenary guild."
Yaliqi asked in confusion: "Why don't we defend together?"
Kerry smiled and said: "Yaliqi, you are so naive. This is something that involves the interests of all parties, and of course it must be clearly divided. But what I don't understand is, why does it seem that Conn City's defensive range is not visible along the way?"
"The reason why Conn City does not participate is that firstly, they can get a lot of benefits from us entering and leaving the city. Secondly, their troops have to be dispersed on the two hundred miles long city wall, and their martial arts masters and magicians need to be balanced.
Assign them to various areas to prevent the city walls from being breached by monsters." Luther seemed to have a high status in the guild, as if there was nothing he didn't know.
"I understand. I don't know how the monsters attack. Why can't I see a monster?" Yalich asked.
"Haha, the barrier of Shenting can still last for a few days, so our next few days will be to build our defense measures. Otherwise, if a large group of monsters invades, if we rush into the monster pile like this, wouldn't we risk death?"
The more Luther explained, the more confusing it became.
"Brigade of monsters, how many monsters can there be? Let's just kill one every time we see one." Kerry said disdainfully, completely forgetting that he had almost killed a monster on his back.
Luther glanced at Kerry nonchalantly and said, "There are still two days until the barrier is broken. You will know after two days."
"Okay, everyone should be tired from the continuous journey, so it's better to rest early." Yalic said quickly to smooth things over.
Someone has already prepared their tents. All the people mobilized by the Mercenary Guild will arrive tomorrow. Not only the masters from various cities will arrive early, but many junior and intermediate mercenaries have also been recruited.
, only senior mercenaries and above can participate in the war, and their role is to provide logistical services. They must prepare food and clothing. Depending on the number of branches, the size of the place to live is prepared by them early in the morning.
Yes, the situation of Luther and others had already been reported to the General Assembly, so only two large tents were prepared for them, one for Luther and Slang, and one for the three of Yalic.
"Kerry, what's wrong with you? You seem to be deliberately going against Luther recently?" Yalic asked after listening to the surroundings and making sure there was no movement.
"...I don't know, but I annoy him when I hear him talk, as if I'm so arrogant," Kerry said.
"Come on, Yalich, don't listen to him. I know exactly what he is thinking." Sonny chuckled while lying on the blanket.
Kerry turned around and said, "What am I thinking? I don't even know, but you will know?"
"Haha, his purpose is very simple. Ever since he met Luther, including arriving in Star City, here, Luther, Silang, they didn't pay attention to Kerry at all, they all focused on Yalic.
It's on you, so how can a pushy person like him not feel uncomfortable, haha." Sonny laughed.
"You... forget it, I won't talk to you." Kerry raised his head and lay down on his own, not talking anymore.
Yaliqi smiled and said: "Okay, no matter what, we take care of ourselves and don't care what others do. We must not take the initiative to cause trouble. I also want to use the opportunity of the Mercenary Guild to slowly improve our
My strength is not just about force, I also want to form our own force, so that when we encounter something, we will not be weak and always bullied."
"Yes! That's what I mean. I've wanted to tell you for a long time. I absolutely don't want to live at the mercy of others. No matter how hard and tired I am, I don't want others to interfere with my life. I have to be my own master. You said
Yes, Kerry?" Sonny said excitedly.
"I don't care, as long as I have food, drink and fun, Yaliqi, you promised me anyway, you have to be responsible for my food, drink and fun, I'm just hanging out with you, haha." Kerry laughed.
"When did I say that I would not care about your food, drink, and entertainment? I have already told you that you are a free agent, you have to have fun by yourself, and you have to make money by yourself, hahaha!" Yaliqi understood what they were thinking.
After that, I was in a good mood and started joking about Kerry.
"Don't be shy, I'm not that easy to bully, haha"
"Come on, I'm afraid of you, hehe~!"
"Ha ha ha ha...."
Not far away, in the tent where Luther was, Luther and Slang were also talking, "Vice President, you are well-informed. What exactly happened when the demon seal was destroyed this time? I don't think it could be like this."
Simple, the seal is broken, and then all parties get their own benefits, and then what?" Silang asked several questions.
"Yes, Silang, you finally learned to think. It's not like the demon world's seal has never happened before. I've only heard about this. I'm afraid only people like President Nata will know the real reason. It's said that every time the demon world's seal breaks,
After that, the ferocious tribes in the Far North will invade the mainland, and what follows is a tough battle. The passage to the demon world is not limited to the mainland. There is also a passage in the far north. According to legend, a master of the ferocious tribe once entered the demon world through the passage.
, reached an agreement with the demon world, so the invasion of the demon world and the invasion of the evil tribe are mutual. Because of the passage, the demon world attacks first to attract the human army. When the army of the evil tribe in the far north reaches the edge of the continent, the real continent will
A critical moment." Luther sighed and said.
"Then how much time do we have to prepare for this war?" Silang said breathlessly.
"Three months!"
"Ah! What about three months later? Where are the other people in Star City? There are thousands of us, so why are there only five of us this time?"
"Three months later... it will be a cruel war! The others will arrive tomorrow, but this time Yalic will have to stand alone. If he can stop it, then I will give advice to the President and absorb it.
As a core member, he can't be stopped...If he can't be stopped, I hope he won't escape." After saying that, Luther sighed. He personally was very optimistic about Yalic, but he had no choice but to be absorbed as a core member.
, you must have a very outstanding performance. This is not something he can say alone.
The next morning, before Yaliqi and the others got up, they were awakened by the noisy sounds outside. After the three of them came out of the tent, they were immediately stunned by the scene in front of them.
To the left without reaching the end, and then to the right with no end in sight, there are all groups of people rushing on their way. Warriors account for the majority, and some magicians can be seen, but very few. The warriors are all wearing armor and holding hands.
Weapons, and the mages also held their own magic weapons. Luther stood on the side and kept saying hello to some people in the crowd.
"Lord Luther, what is going on? Why are there so many people, and they all seem to be masters." Kerry said in surprise.
"These are the strength of our mercenary guild. These are all high-level mercenaries. In other words, these people are at least the level of generals or magicians." Luther seemed a little proud, although he couldn't see it when he spoke.
His expression, but you can also hear it from his tone.
"Are they all? That's amazing," Yalic asked in surprise.
"Well, those who are walking to our right are all. Our location is just on the border with those lone warriors. Look on the left, those who have no power behind them are now starting to recruit teammates." Luther pointed to those beside him.
There are scattered small teams, there are some who are alone, sitting there and resting alone, and there are also teams of two or three people, who are still shouting, hoping to recruit some partners.
"Come with the level of high-level generals. There is a magician leading the team here. Come quickly!" As soon as one of them said that there was a magician leading the team, several people gathered around him.
People from the team are constantly joining those scattered teams. It is definitely better to fight with companions than to fight alone. At critical moments, you may be able to save your life. However, there are also people who think highly of themselves.
I don't want to recruit helpers, nor do I want to be someone else's helper.
"Yaliqi, if you have the ability, I suggest you form a mercenary group, so that when your power reaches a certain level, you will have the right to speak in the mercenary guild, and you can also gain the power of the mercenary guild accordingly.
Logistical support, I specially fought for this position this time, that’s what I mean, I hope you can seize this opportunity." Luther whispered to Yalic at this time.
"Huh? Mercenary group? What's going on?" Yalic asked in confusion.
"You know that although we have a large number of permanent mercenaries, to occupy a place among the various forces on the mainland and have a main city, these alone are absolutely not enough, and our most important strength is the mercenaries
It’s a group.”
"I still don't quite understand."
"Okay, I'll tell you clearly once and for all." Luther looked around, then pulled Yalic to a big tree not far away, and said to him: "In fact, among many real masters or
In the eyes of the top leaders of other forces, this is not a secret. What the mercenary guild shows to most people on the mainland is just the surface of the guild, such as the guild's missions, registered mercenaries, etc. If you think that only based on these
, coupled with the fact that a few experts want to occupy a large main city, then you are completely wrong..."
It turns out that the original face of the mercenary guild is actually an alliance of mercenary groups, and only mercenary groups that meet the standards can join this alliance. In this way, the leaders of each mercenary group form the core of the mercenary guild, and their
The real strength is actually the huge number of mercenary groups. There are currently fifty-eight core members of the mercenary guild. According to their standards, the number of mercenary groups must reach at least 3,000 before they have the right to join their alliance, so the mercenaries
In addition to the large number of mercenaries of different levels shown to the world, the Soldiers Guild also controls mercenary legions numbering in the hundreds of thousands.
If this is not the case, how can we occupy Hughes City as the base camp of the mercenary guild? You must know that even the very powerful Magician Guild has not been able to truly occupy a city as a base camp.
In a war, although masters can play a certain role, especially high-level mages like the magicians guild, the basic forces still play an indispensable role. This is the difference between the magicians guild and the mercenary guild. One can only
Being attached to another force may give you a high status, but the other force has a main city that you have the final say on. More importantly, as long as you have money, you can issue various ** tasks and the rewards are large enough.
If so, there will be core members who will mobilize their own mercenary groups. These mercenary groups are usually in Xius City, but they only obey the orders of their own leaders.
"So that's it! Isn't it just fulfilling my wish?" Yaliqi thought to himself, but Lord Luther was so well-informed, but he did not help Slang, who had a closer relationship with him, but chose me instead.
Could it be...could it be that their mercenary group alliance is also dividing within itself? He needs me as a new core member to enter their alliance and be his ally, so that their side will have greater rights.
Thinking of this, Yalich immediately understood the mystery and couldn't help but admire Luther's thoughts. The reason why he didn't choose Slang must be that there was some system within their alliance that was blocking him.
Seeing that Yalic had not spoken for a long time, Luther was worried that Yalic would give up because the standard for entering the league was too high, so he quickly said: "Actually, you don't have to think too much. Playing slowly and steadily is the best way. You can still
Very young!" Unexpectedly, Yaliqi had already guessed everything.
"Well, I understand. Don't worry, Mr. Luther, I will definitely not let you down." Yalic was unwilling to tell him clearly, because Luther did not do anything to hurt him or make him disgusted. On the contrary,
Still helping him all the time, "In this case, when I have the ability, I will help him."
The team on the roadside slowly dwindled, and everyone who was supposed to arrive had already arrived, and they were all building fortifications in their own defense areas. After all, no one knew how many monsters would rush out of the forest, but when Yalic asked
When asked why there were no fortifications at the Mercenary Guild, Luther said: "Only those who have emerged from death will be true warriors."
