Chapter 26 Different Choices
Arthur was stunned when he saw the letter, "Randall", Randall is still alive!
Arthur learned literacy from Randall, and how can his handwriting be wrong, it is indeed Randall.
First recognized Tony a few days ago, and now I have received the news that Randall is alive, and happiness always comes too suddenly.
Arthur suppressed his strong emotions and quickly skimmed the contents of the letter, to the effect that these young men were the children of the casualties of the Cairns of the Blizzard Legion, and now that they had grown up, let them join the mercenary group to follow him.
Arthur was overjoyed, and Big Brother Randall actually sent him some small mercenaries. Because of their father's relationship, these young men will be their most loyal mercenaries.
Arthur looked at the young man at the bottom of the stairs and was happy from the bottom of his heart, "From today onwards, you will be the mercenary of the Blue Enchantress, I am your leader, Moral is the head of our mercenary group, and the head of Moral will take you to eat, allocate rooms, and receive mercenary equipment in a while." ”
The young people in the audience immediately let out cheers of joy.
Morar first took the young mercenaries to visit the headquarters of the mercenary group, but Arthur called little Hag to his room alone.
Randall's letter was very short, and it was clear that there was no way to say a lot in it, except for a few other things that Hag Jr. relayed.
Little Hag spent an hour in Arthur's room before he could tell him what had happened.
In the battle of Sigh Canyon that year, only more than 500 of the 5,000 soldiers of the Keynes Division finally rushed out alive and rushed out alive, and many of them retired due to injuries and disabilities.
Although these soldiers who died in the war and were disabled had a pension, they could only solve their immediate needs, so Keynes brought all the children of the families of the brothers who died in the war who were orphans and widows in their families and had no way to live in the village of Thessaloniki.
The village of Thessaloniki is located in the northern part of the kingdom, far from the war, and the place is remote and cannot be approached by vengeists. What's more, Thessaloniki was a baronial fief earned by Randall through military exploits, and there was a large area of land for the families of these warriors to grow for free.
The Blue Enchantress Mercenary Regiment had not been rich in funds that year, because most of the gratuity income was sent back to Thessaloniki to support the families and children of these casualties.
Hearing little Haag talk about this, Arthur couldn't help but let out a long sigh, Big Brother Keynes and Randall, they are really men who value love and righteousness! How many men in the world can do this?
The reason why Randall survived was because he didn't go out at all when he heard the movement on the night of the mercenary group's attack, and he hid directly in the dark compartment under the bed.
This is not because Randall is afraid of death, but because he can't die! Randall's barony for military exploits cannot be passed on to the next generation, and if he dies, the territory of the village of Thessaloniki will be taken back by the kingdom, and the villagers will have to pay taxes to the kingdom.
Arthur didn't know at the time, he thought that Randall never showed up for the mercenary mission because he had a broken arm, but in fact, he and Keynes had already discussed that one of them had to survive, because there were still so many orphans and widows in the village to take care of.
Randall, who escaped the catastrophe, first thought of not finding out the murderer and avenging the mercenary group, but fled back to Thessaloniki Village to lead the villagers to hide in the mountains, and he was more worried that these innocent villagers would also be implicated by the mercenary group.
All these years Randall has been hiding in Thessaloniki, guarding the village and training the children of the village like warriors.
It's not that Randall hasn't thought about avenging Keynes and the mercenary group all these years, but he can't. Because of the different responsibilities they carry, Tony and Randall make different choices, Tony lives in order to avenge the mercenary group, and Randall must live for the living.
When the village of Thessaloniki first received Arthur's money from the royal city, Randall saw hope again, knowing that the day would come when the last of his and Enkais's hard work would come to fruition!
From that day on, little Haag and his group of children began to live hellish days, spending almost every day under Randall's clubs and roars. Randall has no way to avenge Cairns himself, but sooner or later these children will be the most loyal warriors by Arthur's side, and they will fulfill their wish for revenge for themselves and Arthur.
Two months ago, the village of Thessaloniki had received money from the city of Joaurez, and Randall had not slept all night, he had not expected Arthur to return to Joaurez in such a hurry, but he eventually sent Haag and his older children over.
These children were all trained by Randall from a young age according to the standards of warriors, and the lowest strength was all third-level martial artists, and five or six of them were already fourth-level captains, and with a little training, they would be the best help for Arthur.
After listening to little Hag's story, Arthur couldn't calm down for a long time, Randall has really not been easy these years, and forbearance is more difficult than revenge!
"From today onwards, the mercenary group is your home, I am your eldest brother, and soon you will have a mission. ”
As little Hag was about to leave Arthur's room, he suddenly said, "I almost forgot, Uncle Randall has another word for me to bring to you." ”
"Oh? ”
"He said he had to go to Thessaloniki after you had time to spare, and he had something very important to tell you in person. ”
Arthur nodded, not saying anything more.
......
In the Orlando Mountains, Arthur and Leon met again a month later at the agreed time.
Arthur brought a hundred musk oxen to carry the goods this time, nominally the goods trade of the Moral Comptoir, and hired the Blue Enchantress mercenary group to escort them.
In order to be foolproof for the first interracial trade, the core of the mercenary group, including Spence, was dispatched, and they also brought their henchmen from Thessaloniki Village and Nuel Town, which was also a rare experience for them.
Leon watched with some amazement as the men of the Moral Comptoir unloaded sacks of salt, silk and cotton, and luxury utensils on the ground on the back of musk oxen, and soon piled up a large pile.
"I didn't expect you to not only do it, but also get so much?"
Arthur handed a booklet to Leon and said with a smile: "Here is the list of goods and prices, let your people count them." If you don't bring enough value this time, I can allow you to owe it this time. ”
Leon returned his hand and handed the list of goods to Munk, "You come to count and send over the things we prepared this time." ”
The two sides of the cross-race trade also maintained the method of bartering, which was far more profitable than settling with gold coins and crystal cards, and the profits of foreign specialties were three to ten times more profitable after they were shipped back. Like this transaction, Morar prepared something worth 20,000 gold coins, and transported the equivalent of herbs, ores, furs and other things of the orcs back to sell, and the profit of the trading house was at least 100,000 gold coins. One time is a profit of 100,000 gold coins, which will make countless people blush and risk it, this is a huge business opportunity for interracial trade!
In addition to the specialties in the Orc Wasteland, Leon also brought three first-level flying demonic beasts Wind Mandarin, and the time and place of the next transaction between the two sides rely on Wind Mandarin to communicate.
Arthur and Leon looked at each other and smiled, with this stable interracial trade route with a steady stream of profits, the power on the continent must have changed somewhat......
