Chapter 66: The Birth of the Mercenary Group

According to Rep's own account, he was born in Talabein, the capital of the Imperial province of Talabek.

The empire's vast territory is made up of ten provinces, each of which is an independent kingdom ruled by its own elector, and each emperor will be born from these ten electors, and the current emperor, Dieter IV, was the elector of Talabek before he sat on the throne.

As the capital of the Tarlabek Domain, Tarabbe is known as the "Eye of the Forest" because it is located in the center of a large forest that covers the entire province, in a large naturally occurring volcanic crater.

Together with the current Imperial Capital of Nunn, the capital of Rick Aldolf, and the capital of Middenheim, it became one of the four major cities of the Empire, and its economic and military strength was almost comparable to that of a province.

One of the most powerful knights in the Empire, the Cheetah Knights also have their headquarters here, making it the city's most important garrison.

As the second son of a ruined aristocratic family, Rip joined the new battalion of the "Cheetah Knights" as an adult and became a knight squire.

However, he was later appointed captain of a free militia wing and began to fight with the Imperial Army until the end of last year, when he retired from the position of commander for some special reasons.

After a hasty end to his military career, Repp travels alone to the Frontier Prince's Territory to become a mercenary mercenary in hopes of finding a fortune in a place known as a gold digger's paradise, only to be recruited by Stone.

His resume is not simple, it is not complicated, anyway, in the eyes of the stone, he is simply the best candidate for the second brother Mao to send him to implement the retreat plan.

The stone called Rip and the old rotten tooth together, and under the old shaman's wary eyes, he opened the package on his back that the big bear had brought from the territory and placed it in front of Rip.

There was a flash of golden light, and what appeared in front of the knight's eyes was a large pile of gold and silver jewels of all kinds, as if he had just robbed the private treasury of a wealthy merchant.

With just one glance, his outstanding professionalism allowed him to quickly estimate the value of this pile of treasures, and at a rough estimate, it was at least eight or nine thousand gold crowns.

This is not a small amount of money, you must know that in the border prince's territory, an ordinary mercenary can earn twenty gold coins by licking blood from the knife edge for a year, and the current place is enough to be worth a year's salary of a mercenary group of 400 people!

Rep's attention was drawn to the gold and silver, but he didn't know that the stone had been observing him since the package was opened.

The conclusion is obvious, I didn't expect this guy to look like a nobleman, and after seeing these valuable belongings, not only did he have a greedy expression on his face, but he even breathed a little faster.

It's good to like it, I'm afraid you don't like it.

The bag was mostly relics dug up from the ground after the camp was destroyed by the High Elves for the first time, and a small portion was the spoils of Skipp's army after the defeat, and the whole tribe was here anyway with everything of value except for the teeth.

However, these things are placed in the tribe, no matter how expensive they are, they are useless, and they don't even have a place to spend them, so they are all taken out as start-up funds for Lepp to build an intelligence network.

"It's all for you."

The stone said to Rip, who was still staring at Jin Yin in a daze, and the latter's brow jumped when he heard this.

Hearing the leader say this, the old rotten tooth hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to stop him.

In his opinion, the head of his family was really fooled by this shrimp, and he probably regarded these gold and silver treasures as useless garbage.

The stone made a stop gesture and continued:

"But you have to do what I say."

Then he narrated the whole plan of the "Dunkirk retreat", and the knights and shamans were full of admiration and admiration.

The old rotten tooth thought very clearly, as long as these treasures were spent to quickly increase the strength of the tribe, it would be a good thing, but the key was that I didn't know if the shrimp in front of me was reliable, but I could give it a try, if he dared to play tricks, I would go to the ends of the earth to pick him down.

Rep also understood, in his opinion, it was actually very simple, that is, to be a spy himself, specializing in exploring all kinds of information around the border prince's territory, especially about the Bretonnian knights and the greenskin tribe, where the tribe was destroyed, where there was a knight army, as long as he quickly grasped the news, and then passed it back to the tribe.

In front of the seductive Kimkrone, his mind spun very fast, and immediately a new proposal was made.

"My lord, if you say so, I think the most appropriate way is to set up a mercenary group, which will operate in the border prince's territory, and specialize in handling nearby tasks, which can not only find out the news, but also hide people's eyes and ears from people, and will not be suspected. I can contact some of my old subordinates in the past, and they will definitely be willing to come over when they hear that there is an opportunity to make money, rest assured, they are all veterans who have killed people."

Under the control of the system, as long as the loyalty is enough, Rep will not resist his mission at all, but will also stand in the perspective of the lord to give advice.

As soon as the stone heard it, this suggestion was reliable, the mercenary group was a good thing, and it would definitely be useful in the future, so he immediately agreed, and these belongings were used as the start-up capital of the mercenary group, and all of them were handed over to Lepp to deal with, and he didn't care how to use them, as long as the effect was good, there would be more funds in the future.

Anyway, the blank check was written first.

I don't know if Rep was moved by the stone's trust, or because he received a fortune that may not be earned in his lifetime, anyway, the stone immediately received a system prompt, and Rep's loyalty increased a little.

At the same time, a new task was received.

[Temporary mission "The Birth of a Mercenary Group" released]

[The birth of a mercenary group: Establish a mercenary group with a size of 50 people (0/50)]

[Description: As long as the mercenary is given money, the mercenary will do anything, including betraying himself to the greenskin]

[Reward: 2000 Coins]

No wonder they all say that there is only the wrong name, no wrong nickname, it is worthy of a "black heart", and the effect is immediate as soon as the money is in place.

There is also this new task, for the stone, the important thing is not the reward, but the change in the number of mercenaries at any time, and the ability to know the progress of Rep's work at any time.

With a rough plan, the three of them discussed the specific details together, the most important of which was how to pass the message to each other.

At present, Shi can't think of any means of communication that is both safe and time-sensitive, so he has to use the simplest way to write a letter and leave a message.

Dig a hole next to the cave to make a mark, and if there is any news, Rep will come over, write a letter and put it in it, and every week a "death creeper" will come over, and if there is any arrangement or problem with the stone, it will also be written and placed in it.

This eliminates the need for both sides to meet and reduces the risk of detection.

Of course, this is only a stopgap measure, Rep is going to settle in Fetanburg, which is not far away, and he can use this method, if he changes positions in the future, he will definitely have to find another way.

After discussing the details briefly, just as Rep was about to get on his horse and leave with his belongings, a question suddenly came to mind.

"By the way, my lord, do you want a resounding name for our mercenary group?"

"Well...... Let me think about it, if there is, let's forgive the mercenary group. ”

"Forgiveness? Does the word have any special meaning? I think it could be replaced with redemption or atonement, which is a little bit better. ”

The human rider was puzzled.

"No, it's just the name, it doesn't mean anything, I hope no one will ask you to forgive the knight in the future......"

PS: Thank you for the 100 starting coins rewarded by "Mighty Fat Pull"!
