In the end, Tomia and Agnes didn't follow.

"They'll go back first, Tomia will catch up later, and Agnes isn't the right fit for us to go this time," Gustav approached Lin An to explain during the nightbreak camp, "As for Tomia, he won't let personal factors affect our plans this time." ”

"Well, it's a bit of a surprise, but I also think it's not about the big picture."

Lin An understood what Gustav meant, the cooperative relationship is not mixed with too many other factors, of course, it is more conducive to cooperation, Gustav is a qualified leader, and the idea in her heart coincides, now say it as soon as possible, just to eliminate hidden dangers.

……

After five days of calm and calm, the group of disguised mercenaries followed the southward slope of the plateau terrain and entered Perre's territory at the southern end of Ryan's Passersteburg, and when they were about to enter the middle and lower reaches of the heart of Perre, Tomia also led people to rush up to the plain.

When he entered Perre, especially in the densely populated hinterland of Perre, he encountered more and more people on the road, among which caravans and mercenaries were the most common.

"It's not a rumor that the Pere mercenary group is strong, and it can even be compared to the army!" Andrei exclaimed.

"Being able to support a mage is indeed wealthy." Lin An said. Later, she could hear the passers-by say "hillbilly" after walking away, but she didn't care, and Andrei didn't have as good ears as she did, so she couldn't hear it.

Andre was interested in those teams mixed with mages, and his eyes were often stared at by the other party, often glaring back with indifference and vigilance, but Andre was no longer a fledgling teenager, otherwise with his behavior of blocking the road and robbing cars at that time, it is difficult to say how many conflicts would occur along the way.

Gustav had already asked his disguised men to take out the emblem of the large A-class mercenary group they belonged to called the "Dragon's Horn". Others don't dare to provoke the reputation of this A-class mercenary group.

"Large mercenary groups, especially large mercenary groups with a large number of people above the B level, once they exceed five thousand. It's a force that even the nobles have to look at, because at least half of the mercenaries in these mercenary groups. The combat effectiveness is comparable to that of elite soldiers who have been in the army for more than five years, and in terms of quality, they are not inferior to the noble private soldiers, and the Pere nobles below the earl may not be able to support such a large private soldier.

The maximum number of A-level large mercenary groups is 30,000, and B-level is 10,000. Perret currently has five A-level mercenary groups and twelve B-level mercenary groups, of which all A-level mercenary groups are large mercenary groups, and B-level mercenary groups are only two medium-sized mercenary groups. Add up the number of people. Even if half of them were trainee mercenaries who had not been trained, it would mean that the elite mercenaries between the twelve and the hundred and fifty thousand accounted for one-fifth of Perre's elite soldiers—such a large force might not be able to support the mage. ”

"But how could the royal family of Pere allow such a large amount of private force to exist. Two or three hundred thousand mercenaries, including 100,000 elite soldiers, are enough to change the dynasty. Andre, who was looking around, saw Gustav, who was riding with Lin An, and interjected.

"Hehe, the origin of a large mercenary group itself has a strong private nature. Originally, it was an alternate source for noble lords to exploit loopholes in the law and raise private soldiers. Later, after the struggle between the royal family and the aristocracy, as well as the rise of the mercenary association, the large mercenary groups gradually became independent from the control of the nobles, but many large mercenary groups still have a strong noble imprint behind them. The two sides cooperated and defended, like some cities along the coast of Perre and on the border of Little Perre. Even a large mercenary group is needed to assist in the defense of the city, as well as to resist the scattered demons on the overseas islands. Gustav said with a smile.

"So, the Dragon's Horn is backed by Ryan or Oginets?" Salin looked curious, but in fact he was spying.

Gustav smiled and shook his head, and Anatoly replied for him behind him:

"Although the competition among mercenary groups is fierce, the replacement of large mercenary groups above level B is not frequent, and it is customary to have five positions in A-level and twelve positions in B-level, and it will only take five or six years to see two or three large mercenary groups rise and fall alternately. Most of the large mercenary groups are based on decades of time, and it is clear which big nobles they have to do with in the eyes of the discerning people, and we are entrusted with the name of the closely related mercenary group, and we may have been discovered before we entered Perret.

There are many nobles in Dandong, the mercenary group is densely stationed, and the intermingling of forces is all over the world, I am afraid that it is the most complicated of the Three Kingdoms - a certain earl lady has a secret lover in the Baiqiang Club today, and the news can reach the ears of her fiancé in the coastal territory the next day, and many small and medium-sized mercenary groups rely on this food to support their families. ”

Andre was a little frightened, and the faces of the people he heard nearby Sidney's eyes widened a little, and even Lin An, who had seen the efficiency of the paparazzi in the information age, was secretly comparing, this efficiency did not seem to be much worse than that of the senior paparazzi, if this was not an exaggeration by Anatoly.

This time it was Tomia's turn to speak, and as Gustav said, he did not mix business and private affairs, although he never talked to Andre during the trip, but he had reverted to his previous attitude towards other people, seeing that Lin An and the others were a little frightened, he hurriedly explained:

"Don't worry too much, mercenaries are money-driven tools, and if there is no reason, they will not spy on others for no reason. And they have strict industry norms and standards, although it is claimed that even Phoebe II's ** can be taken out, but everyone knows that it is a slogan, if the mercenaries are really pervasive, the first to kill them is the aristocratic class with those pigtails all over their backs. ”

Lin An was thinking to himself whether he would be targeted if he sent Hannibal's butler to bring people into Dandong first, and some of his thoughts did not belong, but Salin took over, this time it was not a spying, but he discovered Anatoly's previous distorted topic, "So how did the identity of our current branch come about." ”

"Well, since you've been asking," the three Gustavs and the nearby guards disguised as mercenaries gave a strange look, Anatoly looked left and right, curled his lips with a strange smile, and whispered, "This sign is actually a forgery." ”

"Huh?!" Salin's smile was still natural, and only Lin An, who was familiar with him, could see the slight cracks underneath, "But when we go through the border checkpoint." ”

"Oh, of course that certificate is true, there is a certificate personally handled by the branch president of the Mercenary Association, of course it can stand up to inspection. It's just that the 'Fire Dragon's Horn' doesn't know that they have an extra sub-group under their name...... When we arrive in Dandong, this file will naturally be erased, and no trace will be left. And the members of the 'Fire Dragon's Horn' numbered in 10,000 people, so it was naturally impossible to know that a sub-group had briefly appeared under their name. ”

Anatoly clouds are light and breezy. There is no need to explain more about whether the president of the branch agreed to the fraud.

The topic ended tacitly, and at noon, they happened to rest at a post station on the side of an official road.

This inn is a private post built by a lord. This kind of private post was very common in Perre, and was basically built by the lord of Pere on the official roads in his own territory, not only as an official channel, but also as an additional carriage shop and inn, and even a collection of vendors. In addition, there are some exchanges during the caravan stoppage, and small village-like camps can even be formed along the busy trade routes, receiving caravans and mercenary groups from all sides, which is a major source of income in the lord's territory.

Lin An they arrived. It's such a small village-style post station.

The open space opened up behind the post station was full of trucks, people coming and going, tents were lined up, and there was order in the chaos.

Both merchants and mercenaries often walked outside, and saw Lin An wearing the mark of "Fire Dragon Horn". Naturally, some empty seats were squeezed out for them, and after entering the restaurant lobby of the post station, there were also dexterous waiters who gave priority to entertain them, and the fierce and hideous mercenaries next to them had no objections.

This is the normal situation of Lin An and his entourage on the road, and they can even eat and rest at the various locations in the "Fire Dragon Horn" and the hotels under the name of the cooperative firm along the way. It is very convenient, and the treatment of the landscape is not as good as that of the nobles, but this is the general internal treatment of the mercenary group, and it is enough to get a glimpse of the power of the large A-level mercenary group.

After finding a corner, everyone gathered around the table to eat in a low-key manner, and Gustav and Tomia were nowhere to be seen.

This is not the first time, Lin An and others all know that there may be Ryan's intelligence station in the place where these information are exchanged, and Gustav and the others seem to be walking in a low-key manner, but it is obviously impossible to completely cut off the exchange of external information, and they go there without knowing anything about the situation in Dandong.

From time to time, people came in and out of the door, and at this time a large group of people entered, one of them walked in directly, and the other group looked at the door, seemingly looking for a vacant seat, but in fact, as soon as they saw Lin An's group, they immediately pushed aside the crowd tables and chairs and walked towards them.

"Hahaha, these brothers are also members of our mercenary group? What about your sub-leaders? Oh, these mages are new faces, are they new? Let's get to know each other ......."

The first person took a bench by the hand, sat down and exchanged a pleasant greeting, and immediately his eyes lit up, and he accosted Lin Ansarin and several other mages.

It turned out that he had taken a fancy to a few mages in the team!

Encountering this situation for the first time, Lin An, who was still worried that he would be exposed, couldn't cry or laugh.

Anatoly made a secret look, and a guard with a scar on his face next to him put down the custard cake in his hand, got up and walked to the person who accosted him, bent his arm and buckled the other party's shoulder, "Brother, you are not kind like this......

"Hey, everyone is our own people, and we have to ...... as a last resort."

"No, these are all uncles we finally asked for, but they can't be ...... by you"

Soon after, the guard returned, and the uninvited "Dragonhorn" mercenaries had been sent away, and the guard shook his head at Anatoly.

"It's not that we're suspicious of our identities, they seem to have taken on a big task, and the manpower is tight, although he didn't say anything, but that person intentionally or unintentionally mentioned that a few mages are good at spells such as group protection arrows."

"This kind of spell is only used in small battles, this trade route is busy, and the nearby lords will not fight on their own roads, how can they use this kind of spell?" Anatoly was surprised.

"According to the itinerary, the Merlin envoys have now been left behind by us, and this official road is a few dozen miles away is the city of Saskiren, which seems to be one of the major cities that the envoys may pass through, right?" Saleen interjected.
