Volume 1 The Siege of the Empire Chapter 127 Woe to the Antlers

The long-haired mercenary ate a punch from Charles on his cheeks, and it was obviously not his turn to confess leniency at this moment.

The Far Archers and the Inch-headed Mercenaries glanced at me and shook out the entire process of the three of them's operation.

It turned out that the three of them were a well-known mercenary squad in Castile City, called the Marten of the West City. In addition to stealing chickens and dogs, flying eaves and walking on walls, these three people are also good at arresting thieves.

Some time ago, Antler Town was turned upside down by the Rose Mask, and the mayor of the town went to the mercenary guild in the royal city to issue a mission, and the guild recommended them to the mayor of Antler Town according to the mercenaries' skills.

Five gold coins don't pay much, and even less if you deduct the guild's draw.

The three of them had come from Castia, one because of the danger of Antlers' location in the heart of the siege, and the other because there were no missions for them in Castia recently.

Who knew that a heavy snowfall trapped the three of them on the road for a few days, and when they arrived in Antler Town, the town elder didn't know what evil he had fallen into, and he actually canceled the task directly with a penalty of two gold coins.

The three of them ran for nothing, and they were very unhappy, and they were about to have a drink in the town to relieve their boredom, but who knew that there was a task to find them.

The other party hid his head and tail, his whole body was hidden in a cloak, and even when he talked to the three of them, he met them through unrelated passers-by and in a no-man's land at the back door of the tavern.

The content of the mission is very simple, that is, to make some trouble for the foreign barracks, it is better to make a big fuss, and if necessary, it is okay to take some lives.

This task seems crazy, and the commission is extremely lucrative, as much as fifteen gold coins, and the deposit alone is five gold coins.

The three of them all understood that this was a black mission.

The so-called black mission is to find the task entrusted by the mercenary directly without going through the mercenary guild.

Most of these tasks are not visible, but the commissions are generally relatively high, and there is no "middleman" such as the mercenary guild to make the difference, and many mercenaries will not refuse.

The three of them fought away, and if something happened, they left, and they were very confident in their ability to fly the eaves and walk the wall, so they agreed without much hesitation.

It's just that they are still a little self-aware, and they will never dare to contaminate the lives of the imperial divine soldiers.

The inch-headed mercenary is the captain of the mink in Xicheng, and before he came to commit the crime, he went to an underground organization in Wangcheng to buy information about the alien barracks, and personally investigated the camp.

Because of the shortage of people in the non-military battalions all year round, some of the barracks equipped according to the establishment have always been idle.

After discussion and discussion, the three finally decided to set fire to some of the barracks where no one was around.

In this way, there were no casualties, the matter would not be too big, and the task was completed, which can be described as a foolproof strategy.

I have to say that this wishful thinking played well, if it wasn't for the freak Charles, maybe they really let them run.

Freya was particularly sensitive to the three words of Antlerstown, and the client's request was very strange, it seemed that she just wanted to attract someone's attention, and it was hard for her not to think of something.

I was still too careless, and I was found in the camp.

It's just that according to the news spit out of the mouths of these two "mink", she can't be sure for a while to what extent the other party has investigated.

At this time, everyone had already arrived at the council hall located in the center of the back camp.

The hall is bright and airy, the furnishings are simple but not simple, the battalion commander sits in the deepest part of the hall, and the back of the chair is tattooed with the battalion logo of the different barracks: the dragon's mouth sword.

Perina's delicate and slender figure sat on it, and the simple seat was unusually large.

Beyond the first five steps are two long tables and benches spread out on both sides.

The three minks of Xicheng were escorted and knelt on the passage in the middle, looking pitiful:

"Really, that's all, we're really not lying!"

Before the inch-headed mercenary could speak, a dark and dull Senhan spear tip hit his throat, and the little flying fish Dries had been patiently listening to the confessions of the two, but he never heard the key, and he couldn't help but feel a fire in his heart again:

"Who instructed you to set the fire, and you can't tell you clearly, and you don't lie?"

"Alright, take them in custody first, Dries, and tomorrow you escort them to the Ministry of Justice in Arton. I've got other arrangements over there. Perina rubbed her eyebrows, she only hoped that the other party was not here for the affairs of the monitoring camp, otherwise the situation of the imperial military might be worse than the queen imagined.

"Battalion commander, don't you rush to hand it over to the Ministry of Justice first?The matter of compensation has not yet been settled, I will ask about the money before sending it?" Val didn't hear what he wanted to know, and a pair of thin eyebrows kept up, and he never put it down until now.

"I'll give you a night. Perina frowned slightly, waved her hand and said, "Val, Rhea, you and the recruits will stay first, and the others will disperse." ”

Max beckoned to a few soldiers with mercenaries in charge, and Dries took the lead and walked out.

After a while, the hall was cleared, and Pelina slowly spoke: "Val, you are the logistics captain, this time Rhea's barracks also burned down, and the recruits have to arrange accommodation, what do you think?"

"There are no more spare barracks in the camp, but ......," Val said halfway through, reaching through his sleeve and rubbing his eyes, which seemed to be a little deeper.

Perina knew that there would be a high argument after his big gasp, so she just held her cheeks and waited patiently.

I saw Val blink his bloodshot eyes, raised his eyebrows, looked at Cecilia, and continued: "But since there is a mage with wood element talent, then the big mansion in the back mountain, if you take care of it a little, it should be able to live in it." ”

Cecilia was furious, blinking innocently at those bright eyes, a little inexplicable.

But Perina's eyes lit up when she heard this, worthy of Scrooge Val, the proposal was really reliable, watching Cecilia shrink her head at a loss, she couldn't help but smile, and explained:

"Halfway up the hill behind the camp, there was a platform where there was an old house, but for some reason, the trees were so dense that the doors and windows were obscured by branches and vines. ”

In the past, there were no magicians with wood element talent in the alien barracks, and this house really had to be taken care of, which was time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the barracks in the camp had been dissatisfied, so naturally no one had the heart to take care of this house that was submerged in plants.

"Cecilia, you're a wood elemental talent, so it should be okay to get those vine branches out of the house, right?"

"No problem, it's on me!" Cecilia replied confidently as soon as she heard that her best skills came in handy.

Perina nodded in satisfaction, and turned to Val as an order:

"That's good, Val, let the barracks go beforehand, just be careful not to burn it again, and send more men to help. Pack it up before it gets dark, at least be able to live in it. ”

"I know, after all these years, I think I want to see the true face of that house. ”
