Lear still entered the Sword World on time that night to train, "Since I came to the other world, I always feel very depressed, and my whole body is heavy, alas......" Lear walked out of the tent with the practice sword depressed.

The culprit squirmed and said nothing.

"Good morning!" Catherine greeted him happily as she passed by.

"Morning ...... Hmmm......" Before Lear could finish his sentence, Catherine hugged him warmly, and because of his height, Lear was forced to eat tofu again.

"You go and practice your sword, remember to bring Susan, I have something to do. Catherine smiled and left.

All the mercenary groups found Catherine to be extraordinarily beautiful today, as if she had been nourished by something magical. In the past, Catherine was pretty, but there was always something missing, and today it seems to make up for the missing places. Coupled with the fact that what the mercenaries saw last night has spread, almost all the mercenary groups think they know the truth.

The mercenaries were furious.

There are more than 200 people in the three mercenary groups, and there are only eighteen women in the team, including Miss Audrenna, who wears a veil all the time. Audreyna rarely comes out and goes, and Catherine is recognized as the most beautiful high-ranking female warrior in the Duchy of Barlow, so those hungry mercenaries naturally pay the most attention to Catherine.

"Damn noble boy, you snatched my Catherine!" said one of the mercenaries angrily.

"Bah, what your Catherine, it's my Catherine!" said the other mercenary, half-jokingly.

Not far away, Scar Los looked at Lear's back, his eyes shining with a vicious light, but he was helpless. He really wants to teach Lear a lesson, but now the team is in a moment of crisis, and it is forbidden to fight.

Cruise's face was pale, he would never believe in Catherine and Lear's affairs, but Catherine and Lear were known to have a close relationship, and he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart. In his heart, Catherine belonged to him - so he actually had a feeling of being betrayed by Catherine.

"Noble boy, since you want to touch the woman that belongs to me, you will be punished!" Cruise clenched his fists.

Although the three mercenary groups defeated the invading enemy, everyone could see that it was just a rabble, more like a tentative vanguard. The team seemed to be calm again, but every clever mercenary was vigilant, not eating too much, not taking off his clothes before going to bed, and leaving more energy to spare when practicing swords...... The laughter and laughter in the camp almost disappeared.

Four days passed in a hurry.

Lear, as usual, gets up in the morning to practice swords, then follows the team all day, continues to practice swords in the evening, and after sleeping, enters the sword world to practice swords. In short, he doesn't care about anything at all at the moment except practicing swords.

With the help of Sword World, he had mastered all the basic swordsmanship, footwork, and combat skills, but his body was not fully developed, which became the biggest obstacle to his promotion to an intermediate warrior.

On the fifth day of the encounter with the bandits, the three mercenary leaders ordered their men to be more careful. Tomorrow they will be able to reach the sphere of influence of the Earl Lear family, and the towns will become dense, with mercenary groups often passing by. And Port Lear is one of the three major ports of the Empire, and daring to launch a large-scale attack in the sphere of influence of Port Lear is tantamount to offending all the nobles who have property in Port Lear.

So, if the enemy attacks, they will definitely do so before tomorrow.

The night was very difficult, and more than half of the mercenaries did not sleep well, after all, not everyone can withstand the pressure of death.

Around three o'clock in the morning, the sky was fading, and the glamping tent in the center of the camp suddenly emitted a shrill magical whistle.

The magician has discovered an enemy in the distance!

The whole camp suddenly became noisy, and the mercenaries began to set up various defenses with all their might.

The mercenaries had expected a hard-fought battle to follow, but Lord Pine brought together the leaders and deputy leaders of the three mercenary groups.

Because Catherine repeatedly told him, Lear went to bed early, and had already completed the training of Sword Heaven and Earth two hours before waking up.

He quickly got out of bed like a normal mercenary, then checked his shirt and sword, and finally stepped out of the tent to warm up.

It didn't take long for the three mercenary groups to come out of the luxury tent.

Catherine, Cruise, and Old Sanker walked back with a few packages and gathered the people of the Flare Mercenary Regiment.

Catherine lowered her voice and said, "The plan has changed. Teams will split into three squads to flee in three directions to attract the bandits. I pretended to be the noble lady, and our Flamour Mercenary Regiment fled southwest. The mission was dangerous, and Lord Pine awarded him extra cash. Also, as long as Miss Audreyna arrives safely in Port Lear, we will not only receive the rest of the reward, but also an additional 10,000 gold carats! ”

The mercenaries were very worried at first, but when they heard the extra reward of 10,000 gold carats, they couldn't help but exclaim.

The mission lasted fifteen days, and even though the pay was much higher than usual, the reward for a junior warrior was only ten gold carats, the intermediate soldier was fifteen gold carats, and the senior soldier was thirty gold carats.

The original total reward for this mission of the entire Flamelight Mercenary Group was 1,500 gold carats, because in the event of a large-scale bandit, the final reward will be increased by another 20% as a bonus. But no matter how you calculate it, the additional remuneration is more than five times the original total remuneration, which is almost impossible.

Cruise and Old Thorn had a flash of dissatisfaction and vigilance in their eyes, and Catherine was clearly courting the members.

Because according to the rules, half of the task remuneration of the mercenary group is directly paid to the members, and 30% is used as the expenditure of the public group, and the daily basic expenses such as food and drink of the mercenaries are deducted from the public group fee, and the remaining 20% is deposited in the reserve bank of the mercenary union as the reserve fund of the mercenary group.

The reserve is used for a wide range of purposes, and is considered a kind of benefit, and is the second largest income for mercenaries in addition to their normal salary. Mercenaries will receive a pension if they retire normally, a subsidy if they are disabled in battle, and a mercenary's family will receive compensation from the reserve fund after they die in battle. Of course, if the mercenary group encounters difficulties, they can also use the reserves to contingency.

The distribution of reserves is generally calculated based on the mercenary's seniority, merit and position, and if a mistake is made, the benefits will be reduced, and if a major mistake is made and the guild is expelled, all benefits will be cancelled.

On the first day of Lear's entry into the Flamelight Mercenary Corps, Catherine deducted all of the reserves of Deputy Commander Cruise, which meant that all his previous merits and military years in the mercenary regiment were erased, and everything was recalculated from that day, and it can be said that Catherine's punishment was extremely harsh.

And if all the 10,000 gold coins are distributed, it is equivalent to an average of eighteen additional months of income for each person, which is definitely a lot of wealth.

Under the half-believing eyes of the mercenaries, Catherine threw a heavy money bag on the ground. The mouth of the money bag was loosened, and the gold coins were scattered, making a crunchy sound, and she smiled and said, "This is the basic extra cash, the junior warrior gets five gold carats, the intermediate warrior gets ten, and the senior warrior takes thirty!"
