What is this? Andrea tried to argue: "First, we only took 250 pounds; Second, 250 pounds we're going to raise a team. ”

However, he couldn't say this, because it was conceivable that once he came up with these reasons, the other party only needed one sentence to block it back:

It's my business.

I'm only responsible for helping you find Vonkesim, so I'm going to make good on your promise. As for how much bounty you get in the future, how much it costs and how much profit it makes, it's none of my business.

To make matters worse, the surrounding Spartans also began to talk about it.

As one of the few big mercenary groups, Steel Cross of course also has to consider the wind review. If this is a wilderness, where will Andrea talk nonsense with him, it would be good not to kill Aske.

However, this is the plain of Laconia, the city-state of Sparta, one of the largest cities on the Syrius Peninsula. This is if the rumor of "the Iron Cross mercenary group is cheating" spreads, and it is spread by the Spartans who have always been upright and disdainful of lying......

Andrea could almost imagine how the reputation of the Eastern Detachment in the Cyris region would plummet.

"Ahem, in that case, our Iron Cross mercenary group won't be repaid." Andrea's heart was bleeding as she said this. It's not that he can't bear the 5 pounds, but this feeling of aggrievedness, he hasn't experienced it for a long time.

Except for the last time in Stari Maca, when he was robbed of the loot and then threw a news of the war, so that he and Matthews were wary of each other's calculations, and finally exhausted to complete the task.

Counting the equivalent of 5 pounds of coins and tossing the bag to Asker, Andrea looked up indifferently at the sky, determined not to say a word to the leader of the Blue Sword again.

As a result, the next second, the king of Sparta on the throne spoke.

"This time, we plan to cooperate with the Azure Sword, so we won't bother you Iron Cross."

Andrea:!!!

He had just decided not to have any more dealings with Asker, so what happened!

As the head of the Eastern Branch of the Iron Cross, in the face of this kind of business robbery, he couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb, so he could only smile and smile:

"I do not mean to interfere in the affairs of your state, but should I consider this matter more carefully? The snow monsters on Mount Tegetus can only be dealt with by experienced transcendents......"

"I think we can work together." Asker added.

Andrea looked at him in amazement.

"As Commander Andrea said, the Iron Cross Mercenary Regiment is powerful and is an indispensable help for the Spartan city-state to deal with this mutation." Aske said tactfully.

The surrounding Spartans chatted in a stumbling manner, because Agosilaus had been easily defeated by the mercenaries on the other side, so no Spartan warriors spoke out against it, but judging by their expressions, most of them were still angry.

The two Spartan kings on the throne understood what Aske meant: the Iron Cross mercenary group has brought so many people, even if you plan to solve the mutation by yourself behind closed doors, as long as they make trouble for you outside, it will be enough for you.

"Of course." Asker changed his words, "The fact that the Spartans are paying is unreasonable. Isn't the Iron Cross Mercenary Regiment's trip for spiritual materials? If you want spiritual materials, you can't ask for money anymore. ”

"That's not going to work." Andrea also knew that her offer was too high, but she still had to argue with reason, "According to the rules of the mercenary industry, the task reward belongs to the reward, and the extra loot belongs to the winner, which are two different things." ”

"If that were the case, the Spartans wouldn't need to hire the Iron Cross at all." Aske countered, saying, "Not long before, Sparta had sent men to Olympia to help them stop the Crusaders' attack. ”

"In return, Sparta could have asked Olympia for the assistance of the Arcane Mage."

"Huh." Andrea sneered, "From Sparta to Olympia City, it will take at least four days to go back and forth, and how many casualties will you have here at that time?" ”

"Three days at most." Aske said indifferently, "And Sparta can also hire Iron Cross to guard the city." ”

Hire us to defend the city? Andrea was stunned when she heard this.

The two Spartan kings on the throne laughed.

Hiring to defend the city and hiring to go into the mountains to clear it all seem to be fighting snow monsters, but in fact there is a world of difference.

Assuming that there are 100 snow monsters in the mountains, then they can kill at most 2-3 during the defense of the city, and the Iron Cross Mercenary Group can only get pure monetary rewards.

This is a far cry from the plan they had originally envisioned to get both money and spiritual materials.

When the mages of Olin City arrived, the Spartans and the Arcane Mages went into the mountains to clear the mountains, and the Iron Cross mercenaries could not get anything in the end.

What if you don't accept employment? It's like tearing your face. After all, your Iron Cross mercenary group brought a bunch of people over, saying that they were going to negotiate business with Sparta, and you didn't accept the business?

If you don't pick up, you'll leave. What, you don't go? So what are you doing here? Isn't it a ghost? This is Sparta's territory!

To put it bluntly, the Iron Cross mercenary group is obviously here for the spiritual materials of the snow monsters, but Andrea will try to package this as "helping the Spartans" in order to extort an extra sum of money from the Spartans.

Asker took advantage of this and pushed the boat down. Since you offered to help Sparta, then let Sparta hire you to defend the city, give you the money, and don't think about the spiritual materials in the mountains.

The logic of this is a bit twisting for ordinary Spartan men, but the two kings on the throne are human spirits, so they can't understand the mystery inside, so they immediately echo and say:

"Yes, although the Spartans themselves can solve the mutation, but the Iron Cross Mercenary Regiment has come from afar to help, and we welcome it."

In a simple sentence, the behavior of the Iron Cross Mercenary Group is defined as "helping the fist". Since it's a fist, you can't talk about business, and it hurts to talk about business.

The faces of the surrounding Spartans softened. Help, the word is much more pleasant, and it will not disgrace the dignity of Sparta.

Seeing this, Andrea's eyelids jumped, and he felt that the originally determined good situation was slipping from his palm, but he couldn't refute it.

As soon as he says, "I'm not here to help," or "I'm here to talk to you about business," the Spartans can immediately say, "Okay, let's get the Orin mage to go to the mountains and hire you to defend the city during this time," and they don't want to go into the mountains.

If you insist on following you into the mountains, you are trying to backstab them with a ghost, and the Spartans are determined to turn against them, and the Iron Cross mercenary group cannot do that.

Their original negotiation strategy was to insist that "it will take time to go to Olin City to ask for help, and how can you prevent the invasion of snow monsters during this time", so as to force the Spartans to pay them to solve the mutation.

As a result, Asker's sentence "hire you to defend the city" was solved.

Andrea's expression was almost frenzied, her fists clenched and released, released and clenched.

Reason told him that it was no longer fun to extort money, and the most important thing he should do now was to borrow the slope to get off the donkey and give the matter of "helping the fist", so as not to cause unnecessary changes in the future.

However, he is really aggrieved! There have only been two meetings with the Azure Sword Mercenary Group, and nothing good has happened each time! It's all pit that he doesn't want!

Forced to give in again this time, Andrea is really unwilling!

"Forget it." Herman put his hand on his shoulder and said lightly, "When the hole cards are seen through, the negotiation will definitely be lost." ”

The so-called hole cards, of course, refer to the real purpose of the Iron Cross Mercenary Group, which is actually the spiritual material of the snow monsters in the mountains.

"That's all it can be." Andrea said with a sigh.

"I'm more interested in something." Herman stared at Asker's figure, his eyes sharpening.

"How does he see our true purpose?
