Chapter 50: Digging the Foot of the Wall

Joining the ranks of the Iron Cross Mercenary Group was surprisingly smooth.

On the one hand, it may be because of the lack of manpower in this operation of the Iron Cross, and on the other hand, it is also because there are not too many mercenaries nearby.

The developed imperial capital of Constantinople was like a black hole, sucking away all the mercenaries in the entire Thracian province, so that the Iron Cross spread out its tricks locally, without setting a threshold, and only hired about a hundred mercenaries.

This bit of manpower is put into the mountain, and I am afraid that I will not be able to splash even a little water.

The price of a hired person is 5 dinars per day, which is a relatively low price in the mercenary industry.

However, considering that he didn't need to participate in the battle, he was only responsible for helping Iron Cross find people in the mountains, which was quite reasonable.

After all, dozens of dinars or even a few pounds of work are everywhere, but they are all dangerous tasks that require life to fight.

In contrast, it is not difficult to accept grinding in the mountains all day and then taking the money and leaving.

The meeting took place in an abandoned castle at the northern foot of Mount Rhodope.

The mercenaries walked into the hall in a hurry, and saw the Gothic swordsmen of the Iron Cross standing in a row with their backs on their sides, their expressions solemn and solemn.

Standing on the round platform on the second floor was an iron knight in power armor, leaning on the railing and looking at everyone boredly.

"HRE Knight?" Medea said with a frown.

"I heard that those who can wear power armor are at least knights with fiefs in Shinra." Nora was surprised and said, "Did the knights come to be mercenaries too?" ”

"Your message is out of date." "At this point in time, Emperor Otto has already cracked the armor technology of the Holy See and begun to mass-produce power armor in the country. When we have a chance in the future, we can also go to HRE and buy a few sets. ”

"Listen, mercenaries!" Seeing that the mercenaries below had arrived, the armored knight on the second floor came out with a loudspeaker and said loudly to the mercenaries:

"Most of the people who come here are willing to accept our Iron Cross hire and go to the mountains to find the Holy See's wanted criminal Vonxim, right?"

"I emphasize the price again, confirm the acceptance of employment, and we will pay 2 dinars on the spot;"

"At the end of the day, if you don't find Vonxim, come here and get the remaining 3 dinars."

"If someone is lucky enough to find Vonxim's traces, we will pay him a 5-pound bounty after we confirm that the clues are true!"

"Of course, some slippery guys might think, I'll take 2 dinars first, and then slip away, can you Iron Cross catch me?"

"Let me put it this way, if you want to take advantage of these dinars, we are not short of money. We want effective leads! ”

"You don't need to confront Vonxim directly, as long as you find his trace, come back and report to us immediately! Again, 5 pounds! ”

The words of the armored knight immediately caused a noisy wave among the mercenaries below.

Obviously, there may have been mercenaries who had lazy thoughts like "I got the money and just rubbed around in the mountains", but now the attention is also drawn to the price of "5 pounds".

If Vonkesim is not found, he will only be able to receive 5 dinars per day.

If you find it, the reward will be increased by 100 times!

With such a price comparison, most of the mercenaries immediately abandoned their original plans to grind foreign workers and began to plan to go into the mountains to search for them.

After all, whether you can find clues or not depends entirely on luck, and similar to the psychology of gamblers, people will always subconsciously think that they are the luckiest one.

Soon, the Gothic swordsmen pulled open the table below, and large bags containing silver coins were thrown onto the table.

Unlike the banknotes used to in the Eastern Solomonic Empire, the HRE mercenaries preferred to pay their bills with such heavy gold and silver coins.

When the bag was opened, the beautiful silver light inside almost dazzled the eyes of the mercenaries, so everyone hurriedly consciously lined up and went to the table here to receive the money.

"2 silver coins." The Gothic swordsman on the other side of the table took out 2 silver coins from his bag and threw them in the mercenary's hands.

The Gothic swordsman next to him took a picture of the mercenary who received the silver coin, and waved his hand impatiently to urge: "Let's go!" ”

"They're going to take pictures?" At the back of the line, seeing the click ahead, Nora immediately showed obvious worry.

"Just to prevent people from receiving money repeatedly." Medea said coldly.

"Any questions?" Aske could see that she was a little uneasy.

"I may not be able to get photographed easily." Nora said with a frown.

Her eldest sister Capracille knows the top of the Iron Cross, so in turn, the other party may also know her, the sister of Capracillin, and it would be a trouble to be recognized for her appearance.

"Yes, based on our beauty, if we are photographed and stored in our phones, maybe they will do something filthy to us."

Medea thought of another question and couldn't help but shake her head in disgust, "No, just thinking about it I'm going to lose control." ”

"Then don't take pictures." Asker said.

Soon it was the three of them in the group, and Asker walked in the front, gesturing to the two girls behind:

"We're all in this together. It's okay to shoot me alone. ”

"That's not going to work." The Gothic swordsman refused, "Just shoot you alone, what if the two of them line up to get the money again?" ”

"Please, how many mercenaries are there here?" Asker smiled and said, "You don't have to look at the photos to recognize you." ”

Probably because the negotiation time was a little long, the mercenaries behind began to make noise.

So the armored knight who had spoken earlier was also alarmed, and led someone to this side and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

In a few words, the Gothic swordsman made the matter clear.

The armored knight nodded and said:

"Mercenary, don't shoot. Give them money. ”

His gaze fell on Nora and Medea, and suddenly noticed Nora's medical backpack behind his waist: "Field Medic? ”

"Military nun." Asker corrected.

"Oh." The armored knight groaned and introduced himself, "Contemptible Andrea, the current head of the Eastern Branch of the Iron Cross Mercenary Regiment. ”

"Fortunately." Aske said, "I am the leader of the Cyan Sword Mercenary Regiment. ”

Andrea:???

The Gothic swordsmen in the back also looked at each other.

Nima, isn't that the right reaction? In the past, when the head of the regiment reported his home, shouldn't the other party immediately say, "Wow, so you are the top of the Iron Cross Mercenary Regiment"?

What the hell is an equal self-introduction! Do you deserve it too?

"Look up for a long time, look up for a long time." Andrea was silent for a long time, and finally said politely.

"Hey, have you heard of the name of our 'Azure Sword'?" Aske said in amazement.

"Poof!" Medea in the back couldn't help laughing, and the charm that was revealed in an instant made the Gothic swordsman in the back almost look straight.

The corners of Andrea's eyes jumped, and it was hard to swallow the swear words "who the knows you".

In addition to serving as the leader of the mercenary group, he is also a small lord under the Bavarian lord, so he still has basic aristocratic cultivation, so he can only nod with difficulty:

"Hmm...... Before, I had heard of ......"

"Great." Aske smiled and said, "Then I wish us a happy cooperation." ”

Andrea was silent for a longer time this time, and finally spoke: "Definitely." ”

After taking the six silver coins given by the Gothic swordsman, Aske turned to the two girls, "Let's go." ”

Andrea, the armored knight, also turned around with relief, and suddenly felt that something was wrong. Hey, what did I just want to say?

"Wait a minute!" He hurriedly stopped the three who were about to leave, walked quickly to Nola, and asked, "This young lady is a military nun?" ”

"Yes." Nora nodded, "Is there something wrong with you?" ”

"On behalf of the Iron Cross Mercenary Regiment, I would like to extend a sincere invitation to you." Andrea said solemnly, "To provide you with an offer for the position of senior therapist in our Eastern Branch. If you're interested, please also consider it. ”

"Oh, I'm here to dig the foot of the wall." Medea laughed playfully, "Asker, you're in a team crisis." ”

Before Asker could reply, Nora politely refused: "Thank you, not interested." ”

"If I'm guessing correctly, you should be a full-time military nun from Solomon Theological Seminary." Andrea continued, "No more than 60 military nuns graduate each year on the continent: half remain in the city of Solomon and join the Holy See or the Hospital of Santa Maria; A quarter worked in the courts of the kingdoms as personal physicians to the princes and nobles; ”

"There will be no more than 10 people who will enter the mercenary industry, and they will basically choose well-known mercenary groups. In this regard, our Iron Cross treatment, which is quite advantageous in the industry, can provide you with a monthly salary of 20 pounds. ”

"I'm sorry, it's not about the money." Nora continued to smile back.

Not a question of money? Can this mercenary group called the Azure Sword still give you a monthly salary of more than 20 pounds? Andrea's mind raced. If it's not a question of money......

His gaze fell on Asker's. Well, it seems that he has the blood of the Dragon Country, and this kind of exotic handsome man should be admired by young and ignorant girls. In other words, it's a matter of feelings.

"This Captain Asker." Since you can't dig this girl, let's just dig it with her boyfriend. Andrea looked at Asker and asked tentatively, "I wonder if you are interested in joining the Eastern Branch of our Iron Cross Mercenary Regiment?" ”

"I've formed my own mercenary group." Asker said.

Nima! Andrea burst out in her heart, what kind of "blue sword" are you, there are hundreds of similar names in the whole continent, and the ghost knows what kind of little-known little mercenary group it is! How can there be a future to join us in Iron Cross?

After being rejected three times in a row, he finally lost his patience and just smiled reluctantly:

"In that case, I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."

"Aren't we working together now?" Aske is strangely authentic.

Andrea turned around expressionlessly, feeling deeply confused, why is it so hard to communicate with these guys? At this time, a joking voice suddenly came from outside the door:

"Yo, outsourced employment of 5 dinars a day, 20 pounds a month for the official establishment, when did the Iron Cross become so rich? Can my brothers also participate? ”
