Chapter 179: Extreme Warband
Sicarius was much more efficient than Wren had expected.
Just after noon the next day, a group of tall Makulags appeared outside the castle gates and entered the castle under the watchful eyes of the centaurs.
Sicarius's perception was quite keen, and as he walked along the hillside, he immediately noticed that there was something wrong with the eyes of these centaurs looking at him and his people, and when he looked back, the centaurs quickly turned their heads away, not daring to look at each other.
"They seem to be afraid of me?"
Sicarius muttered to himself, there are also several centaur tribes on the Plateau of Sein, and they have fought a few times, knowing that centaurs are all irascible monsters, but the batch of centaurs recruited by the boss is different.
"Could it be that these monsters have changed their minds when they have arrived in the Empire?"
In his thoughts, Sicarius entered the atrium of the castle and saw Wren and his two clansmen standing on the steps waiting.
He hurriedly quickened his pace and said in a loud voice, "Boss, we're back!"
Then he turned back to the clansmen behind him, "Brothers, this is Wren Augustus, Earl of Glamorgan, what are you still stunned about, call the boss." ”
"Hello boss!"
"I've seen my lord......"
"Your Excellency!"
All kinds of different salutations sounded, and Sicarius was so angry that he glared at them, this group of barbarians, he had confessed several times on the road, but as soon as they met, they were in chaos.
Wren saw that he was about to curse when he opened his mouth, so he quickly raised his hand to stop him, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter what it's called, it's good when people arrive." ”
Gronn and Kivat shouted happily, "You're finally here!"
So saying, they came forward and hugged their people.
As soon as a few makurags came into contact, they immediately noticed that the two of them were different from before, the strength on their bodies was several times greater, and their physique had also undergone some changes.
"You two ......"
"Gilliman is on top, Gelong, your strength is so great, let go quickly!"
The barbarians screamed.
Wren's gaze swept over the group of makurags, ten in all, carrying bags and weapons, a few dressed as mercenaries, and shirtless, bare-handed gladiators, some of whom were dressed in heavy armor, apparently called away urgently.
Each makurag is about two meters tall, no more than five centimeters up and down, and their appearance is angular and rugged.
Ten people standing together is like a human wall, bringing great deterrence.
Judging by the strength of their souls, their strength is not weak.
It is at least equivalent to a fourth-level transcendent, and there are one or two that are more prominent, reaching the level of a sixth-level transcendent.
Sicarius must have told them about the symbiosis of the original body, and they were all very excited and a little nervous, and with the two examples of Grond and Kivat in front of him, they all looked at him at once, as if they were looking at a rare treasure, and their eyes were full of anticipation and eagerness.
Wren noticed that several of the Makulags had injuries on their bodies, but fortunately none of them were serious.
"Sicarus, are you in trouble?"
"The mercenary group where the three brothers belonged didn't want to release people, so they asked for five thousand gold guilders when they opened their mouths, but fortunately, my brothers and I were there at the time and had already helped them solve it. Sicarius replied lightly.
Wren nodded, he didn't have to think about it to know, he must have solved the problem with his fists.
He didn't ask much, "Come in." ”
In the side hall of the castle, where the former Earl of Glamorgan and his family dined, a long log table with a length of 15 meters was placed in the middle of the hall.
Two rows of tall columns supported the dome of the hall, and crystal lamps fell down one after another.
The fireplaces on both sides are filled with firewood, the heat of the flames radiates, the whole hall is warm, and the walls around it are covered with famous paintings and swords, revealing the castle's long history.
Wren sat at the end of the long table, and thirteen makulags sat down on either side.
He clapped his palms.
A group of servants immediately brought trays of food like flowing water, hot roast mutton, freshly baked white bread, various fruit snacks, and a dozen bottles of ice-cold wine, and soon filled the table in front of them.
The aroma of food and wine made the people of Makulag, who had been hungry for a long time, swallow non-stop.
However, no one was in a hurry to make a move, and they all looked at Wren, who was sitting at the top, waiting for his order.
"Eat quickly, it just so happens that I'm hungry too. ”
Wren didn't talk nonsense, and said with a smile: "I'll talk about business when I'm full." ”
"Hohoo ......"
"Long live the boss!"
The Makurags cheered, and immediately began to devour, each barbarian ate an astonishing amount of food, and the food was destroyed at a rate visible to the naked eye, and the servants who stood by were dumbfounded.
Wren also eats a lot of food, but it's nothing compared to the Makulags.
In less than five minutes, more than half of the food on the table was missing.
"Damn, it's so delicious!"
Wren was also shocked, just this amount of food, if the family is not thick enough, he can't afford to support the Makulag people, and he will be forced to eat poor by them.
He hurriedly ordered: "Let the kitchen send another batch of food immediately." ”
"Yes, sir. The servant hurried to the kitchen.
This lunch was eaten for more than half an hour, but it used up one-fifth of the storage in the kitchen warehouse, which is equivalent to the serving of a hundred adults in a whole day.
Fortunately, in order to prepare food and lodging for the mercenary group, the castle purchased a large amount of food, so it was not emptied.
Full of wine and food.
Wren was in anticipation of the Macurags, and led them into the castle's martial arts training ground.
The blue water high castle is five or six times larger than the ordinary castle, there are three martial arts training grounds alone, divided into indoor and outdoor, and the smallest indoor martial arts training ground also has thousands of square meters.
In this martial arts training ground, Osilia released a soundproof force field and consciously left.
Wren looked at the ten new barbarians and asked, "Who came first?"
"Me!"
A makurag with a scar on his face reacted the fastest, and without hesitation, he stood up, knelt down in front of Wren, and began to take the oath with his palm.
Wren stood there, calmly observing the fierce barbarian.
His strength is second only to Sicarus, reaching the level of a sixth-level transcendent, with more than ten elements in his soul, extremely rich combat experience, and he has been a mercenary for many years, and he is well-known in Modu.
I asked him just now during the meal, and his name is Otto.
There is another guy named Dikta, who has the strength equivalent of a fifth-level transcendent, and the others are all fourth-level.
"Loyalty is my life...... I, Otto...... Absolute loyalty, never betrayal!"
The blood-colored symbol quickly formed, floating in mid-air.
Wren touched the rune and accepted the symbiosis, and Otto's body immediately began to transform.
Ten minutes later, the transformation was completed, and Otto felt the new power, speechless, his face full of shock and joy.
Wren sensed carefully, Otto became his own symbiote, and did not bring more serious interference, so he said: "Next." ”
One Makulag after another, they chose Wren as the original form and established a symbiotic connection with him.
Two hours later.
Wren's symbiotes reached thirteen!
Looking at the thirteen Makulags standing in front of him, hearing their voices in his heart, and being absolutely loyal to himself, Wren had a faint smile on his face.
His expression was straight, his gaze swept over the faces of each symbiote, he looked at them, finally stood still, and said loudly: "From today on, you are all my most loyal partners, comrades-in-arms, brothers!"
"Choosing me to be your Origin will be the best decision of your life, and this is only the first step. ”
"I have a lot of plans and expectations for your future. ”
"One day, you will shock the empire and the world! Up to the heavenly plane, down to the bottomless abyss, your prestige will be proclaimed, whether it is a giant or a dragon, an angel or a demon, hearing your name, will tremble!"
Wren's tone was unhurried and sounded exaggerated, but none of the Makulags doubted his words and believed that he would be able to do it in the future.
They listened with enthusiasm and shouted in unison: "The will of the boss is my will!"
The roar echoed in the training ground.
Wren accepted the cheers of the symbiotes, and thought to himself that the symbiosis of the original body also has the effect of brainwashing, making them believe in themselves unconditionally, and they don't know whether it is good or bad.
After the excitement, Sicarius suddenly asked, "Boss, you haven't said what our name is?"
Otto also reacted, he had been a mercenary for many years, and he had a lot of vision and knowledge, and rubbed his hands and said: "Those armies formed by Holy Soul Wizards, Legends, and Great Nobles all have their own names, and our names must be even louder. ”
The other Majragites agreed.
Of course, Wren has thought about this problem, an armed force without a name has no soul, just like the name of the modern army in the previous life, it is a very serious matter.
There was a bit of mystery in his eyes, and he nodded, "I've already thought about it." ”
"My surname is Augustus, so you are the 'Janissaries of Augustus', but that's the name within the family. ”
"Outside the family, you are an extreme warband!"
"The members of the warband are Ultramarines. ”
After Wren finished speaking, an inexplicable smile appeared on his face, if there were other traversers in the future, who came to Ehrenus, and heard about the existence of the Extreme War Band, what would be his expression?
"Extreme Band, Ultramarine......" Sicarus' eyes lit up, "I love this name!"
"When I hear it, I feel empowered!"
The people of Makulag immediately accepted the name, and Wren took the opportunity to "flicker" and pulled out a bunch of aphorisms and creeds of the Extreme Warband, such as "loyalty and glory", "march for Augustus", "break the limit, surpass the limit, create the limit", "the ashes of the enemy pave the way to conquest" and so on.
Wren did not forget his previous promise, and offered a generous salary to every Ultramarine, which was much higher than their previous income.
With the salaries of thirteen Ultramarines, plus the living expenses provided, Wren has to pay more than three thousand gold a month!
Moreover, in order to buy people's hearts, he also paid three months' salary in advance.
Seeing that his treasury was depleting rapidly, Wren immediately couldn't sit still, and had to collect a sum of money from the territory to replenish the treasury.
