"The man who just spoke is called Manik, and he is the deputy leader of the Tower Mercenary Group. The leader is their leader Rimmer!"
Mercenary group?
Lin Ze raised his eyebrows slightly.
During this period of time in the Royal Central Academy, he learned a lot about the information about the beast spirit plane, and he was no longer as ignorant about many things as he was before.
The mercenary group sounds similar to the Federation's adventure team, but in fact it is very different.
The mercenary group of the Beast Spirit Empire is not an adventure group in the general sense.
Their predecessors were all retainers of various noble families.
Because the nobles of the Beast Spirit Empire have a monopoly on the blood of spirit beasts, civilians who want to gain stronger power can only join the nobles and become retainers.
However, it may be because he let go of his big mistake and did not dare to be punished, so he ran away.
Or he couldn't bear the exploitation of the noble family, killed the noble children and then defected.
For various reasons, these people rebelled against the noble families and were wanted by the entire empire.
In order to survive, these people have to join together to survive, and accept various assassination, ambush and other bounty missions through channels in the underground world to obtain funds for survival and development.
Over time, an organization like the mercenary group was formed.
They are said to be mercenary groups, but in fact they are essentially killer groups.
They don't have many people, there are usually only a dozen or twenty people in a mercenary group.
But if they can join the nobles and become retainers, these people are naturally not weak in strength.
The lowest strength level is ninth level, and some even reach the king level!
At the same time, because they are wanted and can only survive in the shadows all year round, and because of their powerful strength, the people in these mercenary groups are often ruthless and ruthless.
As long as the reward is right, I will dare to take on any task, even if it is to assassinate an imperial noble!
There are currently over a hundred known mercenary groups in the Beast Spirit Empire.
Among them, the three most notorious mercenary groups each have six or seven beast spirit envoys, and their leaders have even reached the upper-level king level!
The Tower Mercenary Group is one of them!
Glancing at the crowd in the Tower Mercenary Group, Lin Ze suddenly felt enlightened.
Hiring a mercenary group to attack the Blood Crystal Cult is indeed a good idea.
These guys are not weak in strength and have grudges with the imperial nobles, so they don't have to worry about leaking secrets.
As for the other group of people...
Lin Ze glanced at the dozen or so people on the left, and asked Ivey in a low voice:
"Those people also belong to a certain mercenary group?"
The man's warm breath sprayed on the ear, making Evie's heart beat slightly faster, and the roots of her ears quickly became rosy.
She composed herself and replied in a low voice:
"They are from the Nolan Mercenary Group! The leader is Sosa, the leader of the mercenary group!"
really.
Lin Ze's eyes flashed.
Nolan Mercenary Group is also one of the three major mercenary groups!
Two powerful mercenary groups, plus the obviously powerful Weiss, with such a lineup attacking the empty Blood Crystal Cult headquarters that is currently guarding, there is a 70% to 80% chance of winning!
The reason why Ailei invited him to join was just to make sure nothing went wrong!
This shows that she is determined to win this operation!
In a flash of thought, Lin Ze had figured out the current situation.
However.
at this time.
Rimmer, the leader of the Tower Mercenary Group, suddenly said:
"Weiss, it's not that we don't trust you, it's just that you found two young guys to participate in this operation, so you have to give us a reason! Attacking the Blood Crystal Cult headquarters is no joke, and we don't want to return the favor during the battle.
You’re going to be held back!”
Although both Lin Ze and Ewei were wearing masks, everyone present had excellent eyesight. It could be seen at a glance that they were both young, most likely in their early twenties!
People of this age group can only reach the seventh or eighth level!
To everyone present, the weakest being the ninth-level beast spirit warriors, they are no different from being a burden!
The mercenary group adheres to the code of conduct of the weak and the strong, respecting the strong, and has always treated the weak with contempt and contempt.
Besides, even though they are weak, they still wear masks to cover up. Where does this put their two major mercenary groups?
So.
As soon as Rimmer opened his mouth, everyone in the Tower Mercenary Group immediately started shouting.
"The captain is right, we don't want to have to take care of burdens during the battle!"
"Dealing with the Blood Crystal Cult is not just a game. How can two guys with no hair join in the fun?"
"You still hide your identity? Haha, you two are not the noble children of a certain noble family who came out to have fun, are you?"
"It's really possible. Hey, take off your mask quickly and let me see what you look like?"
The tower mercenary group stared at Lin Ze and Iwei playfully, with ridicules and ridicules coming and going.
The people from Nolan's mercenary group stood quietly aside without speaking, but they also stared at Lin Ze and the two with twinkling eyes.
Apparently they also quite agreed with Rimmer's words.
No one will welcome a secretive guy who is weak in strength as a companion!
Seeing this scene, Weiss' face darkened and he looked at Rimmer with cold eyes.
"Rimmer, these two are the guests I invited. Don't you believe my vision?"
Rimmer sneered, met Weiss' gaze without fear, and said calmly:
"It's a very important matter. I'm just thinking about it for everyone. Weiss, it was you who said that in addition to you and the Nolan Mercenary Group, there would be a top expert who would participate in this operation. That's why I took the huge risk.
This mission, but what about now? I only saw two rookies, where are the top experts you call?"
When Weiss heard this, his face became more and more gloomy. He turned to look at Sousa, the leader of the Nolan Mercenary Group, and said in a deep voice:
"What about you? Sosa, do you think the same thing?"
Sosa hesitated for a moment, then nodded solemnly.
"Sorry, Weiss, I also have to be responsible for my companions. The attack on the Blood Crystal Cult is of great importance and we must not leave any survivors. Otherwise, once the matter is leaked, we will not be able to stop Julien's revenge. We are not 100% sure.
, our Nolan mercenary group will not participate in this operation!"
Julien is the Pope of the Blood Crystal Religion.
Even powerful saint-level men who are arrogant and arrogant like the Tower Mercenary Group and the Nolan Mercenary Group will feel fear from the bottom of their hearts.
If such peak experts let go to retaliate, it would be tantamount to disaster for the two mercenary groups!
It was Weiss who repeatedly promised that he would not let anyone live, and also said that a king-level peak powerhouse would join, and the reward that Weiss promised was extremely generous, so Rimmer and Sosa agreed.
Take the task.
But now it seems that things are completely different from what Weiss said.
This made Rimmer and Sosa feel annoyed that they had been deceived!
If Weiss doesn't give them a reasonable explanation, they will definitely withdraw from this operation!
No matter how generous and tempting the reward is, it is not as important as your own life!
After hearing the powerful words of the two group leaders, Weiss fell into silence.
After a while.
He looked up at Lin Ze, showing a hesitant expression.
Others don't know, but he understands very well.
The master in front of me was specially invited by His Highness Ai Lei.
Despite his young age, his strength is astonishing.
Not long ago, he single-handedly killed Archbishop Antoine and six priests of the Blood Crystal Cult, but it was only when the other party used animal spirit crystals.
The strength is simply shocking!
But Rimmer and Sosa didn't know about this, and he couldn't tell them, so he was immediately in a dilemma!
Fortunately, Lin Ze didn't make things difficult for him and smiled slightly when he saw this.
"You want an explanation? It's easy. I'll give you an explanation!"
He slowly stretched out his hand, and light emerged from his fingertips. In an instant, a soul arrow shot out and struck Manik's chest like lightning!
The piercing sound in the air instantly tore apart the silent night.
Feeling the strong threat contained in the soul arrow, Manik's complexion suddenly changed. He did not hesitate to use the spirit beast incarnation, turning into a snake-like monster, and slapped the incoming soul arrow with one claw!
boom!
The sharp claws and soul arrows collided fiercely in the void, and violent air waves suddenly exploded, almost knocking the people around them off their feet!
Under the huge impact force, the soul arrow shattered into pieces.
However, there was also a bloody gash in Manik's palm, and he was already injured!
Wow!
The high tower mercenary group suddenly went into an uproar.
All the members' expressions suddenly changed, and they immediately used their spiritual beast incarnations and spiritual beast specializations without even thinking, preparing to teach this guy who recklessly attacked their deputy leader a lesson!
Rimmer's face instantly darkened, and he looked at Lin Ze with murderous eyes.
"stop!"
Weiss dodged and stood between the tower mercenary group and Lin Ze, stopping the movements of both parties.
"Weiss, are you going to help this guy fight against us?"
Rimmer stared at Weiss with a cold gaze.
Weiss was unmoved and said calmly:
"Didn't you ask for an explanation? Rimmer, your Excellency has already proven his strength to you!"
Rimmer looked stunned and glanced at Manik, who was covering his injured palm with a shocked and angry face, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Manik is the deputy leader of the Tower Mercenary Group, and his strength level has already reached the fifth level of King Level. This guy wearing a mask can injure Manik with one blow, which at least shows that he has the same strength as Manik!
A strength of around 5th level at the king level is enough to participate in this operation!
But this is not the reason for the opponent to sneak attack Manik!
If you don't give this guy some color, how can he lead the entire mercenary group in the future?
Thinking of this, Rimmer sneered and wanted to personally teach this guy wearing a mask a lesson.
But at this moment.
Weiss added lightly.
"Rimmer, this sir is a beast master from the beast master plane!"
