Chapter 1645 is something you can't afford to offend
Galea, which was supposed to be raised in Neosfia, is now in Port Gloren...... Well, well, actually, she didn't go at all.
This girl was really going to go back to Neosfia to raise her baby, but as soon as Lu Xi left on the Qiyao Aurora, she saw a huge fleet of grain ships entering the port one after another. When asked, I found out that Lu Xi mortgaged his shares in the Future Chamber of Commerce to the Bank of Saint Laurent and the Ocean Vault, and took out a loan to purchase more than a large amount of food and various necessities of life. Looking at the large amount of grain storage, those who don't know think that he is starting to speculate on the price of grain in the world.
How can this be endured? Swift Wind thought, if something goes wrong, Lu Xi won't go bankrupt, right? The future chamber of commerce's industry was seized by the bank, to put it bluntly, the Church of Workin, the goddess of trade, and all the dividend income of NORINCO and Norda Development Group had to be used to pay off debts. What about the money for these two cute milk powders in the stomach?
Yes, with the perception of the wind, of course, you can be sure that there are two of them in your belly. In more than half a year, she will be a mother, and she will be the mother of two children at once, which will greatly surpass Karin and Artoria.
However, when a child is born, it can't really be free-range like a wild child in the neighborhood and the countryside, right? She is now a member of the Board of Directors of the Standard Shipping Association, the President of the Guerrilla Association, and a member of the highest ruling class in the City of the Seven Seas. In the past, when I didn't have money, I had to sew the cloth I picked up for the rabbit dolls with my accessories, but now I have only a few days of leisure, and I have to pick up the new clothes for my baby in the future?
No matter how kind a girl is, once she becomes a mother, she will be very serious when it comes to children. So, the wind simply didn't leave, and stopped the "genuine" black ship that Lu Xi gave him to the port, and stayed on the ship.
During this time, she also saw that the warehouses in the port of Gloren were almost completely filled with grain from all over the place, and she also saw the mercenary groups that were hired by Lu Xi to arrive here one after another, and the total strength soon exceeded 15,000 people.
Miss Hurricane, who was raising a baby, did not take care of these matters herself. For the mayor of Port Grolen, Hagna Kringles, with the diligence and spirit that he had never been a federal career bureaucrat, actively cooperated with the work of the men sent by the future Chamber of Commerce and the Guerrilla Association. Organize the mercenaries' camps and water, arrange for all the ships to enter the port in an orderly manner, and mobilize manpower to store the supplies into the warehouse. It can be said that without his full cooperation, it is impossible for nearly 20,000 elite mercenaries and huge materials with a tonnage of six figures to be arranged in such an orderly manner.
Lu Xi is right, although this guy has no discipline, he is indeed a talent, at least a qualified affairs professional. According to him, these old fritters of professional bureaucrats can stand tall and strong, in fact, they are all people with outstanding abilities, as long as you have a clear brain, bright eyes and a ruthless whip, their work results will not disappoint you.
Of course, the port of Gloren, with a permanent population of only a few hundred thousand, suddenly flooded with elite mercenaries accounting for one-tenth of the total population, and of course the law and order would deteriorate immediately. Although these mercenaries expressed their willingness to accept the military discipline issued by the Grand Boss Lucy Berenkast when they signed the contract, we must know that there is a reason why War Wild Dogs are called wild dogs. Although he says he wants it, his body is often very dishonest.
On the third day of the mercenaries' arrival in Gloren, a rather egregious accident occurred. A few drunken mercenaries of the Firekiss Mercenary Group broke into a private house, violently assaulted his wife, and killed her husband who resisted. Then he returned to the station drunk with some of the looted belongings.
Mayor Haganer didn't dare to care. Because these mercenaries were invited by his current lord (self-confessed) Lord Lu Xi. And since ancient times, mercenaries have been such a maneuver, and it is a hidden danger to law and order when they go there. Since they are here to help the lord fight, the lord's lords are conventionally regarded as one of the "rewards" of the mercenaries, which is an unspoken rule since ancient times.
However, what Lu Xi and his friends disagree with the most is this unspoken rule. For example, Mr. Wilke, now the vice-president of the Guerrilla Association, who was now in charge of security in Gloren, did not accept it. This veteran ranger, who has been retired for ten years, has just had a reputation on the road, and has always been a jealous and hateful master who can't tolerate sand in his eyes, otherwise it is impossible to be recruited by the Guerrilla Association - after all, although the guerrillas are actually Rotary thugs, the public thinks that this is a group of real freefreedom riders, civil vigilantes, unofficial Interpol or something.
Besides, the Guerrilla Association signed a contract with Lu Xi (who has nothing to do with the association on the surface). In addition to establishing a second branch of the Association in Gloren, Mr. Wilk was to be responsible for the security of the entire Gloren.
So, the old gentleman took the three guerrillas directly into the barracks of the fire kiss. This old man, who was over seventy years old, was an extraordinary master of the Golden 7th Order, and the people he brought were also his proud disciples, and before most of the mercenaries could react, he carried the prisoner away.
Then, without waiting for the high-level of the Firekiss Mercenary Group to intercede, he directly executed all these mortals, and hung their heads on the city wall. Their personal belongings and robberies were all compensated to the sufferer.
The leader of the Fire Kiss, Jia Shan, was furious, and with hundreds of the most capable mercenaries, he was ready to besiege the headquarters of the Guerrilla Guild here, a three-story building that had just been bought by the Association and was still being rebuilt. He thinks that the labor and management brothers are in the south of the city, no, it doesn't cost money to eat watermelons in the southern continent, so what is the point of having some fun in the northern continent? Besides, if the mercenaries don't let them find a chance to vent, how can they ensure their morale? It's so bad that the rules of this industry can never be tolerated.
However, before the men and horses he was carrying arrived, the wind had already received the news, and disembarked to go to the Guild.
The group, Tempest and her attachments, arrived at the entrance of the association. Signor and Vita carefully set up a chaise longue and set up a shade fan, Shamal placed fruit and drinks on the low table next to her, and the big steel dog wagged his tail at her feet. Wearing a loose long dress, the wind lay lazily on it, like a young lady who was basking in the sun on vacation. Well, except for the wrong place, it seems that there is no problem anywhere......
Blast lay at the door of the association like this, waiting until the mercenaries appeared from the corner of the street, until she could already feel the leader of the Firekiss Mercenary Regiment, the breath of the great man of Sothnes, known as "Fire Wolf Jiashan", from fury to consternation, from consternation to panic, from panic to fear, from fear to cowering, from cowering to trembling to stop his own bloody men; Only then did she slowly open her eyes and prop up half of her body, but her face still had the same friendly and clear smile as the girl next door.
At this time, Commander Jia Shan was already beckoning his subordinates to retreat quickly. As for the reason or something...... Isn't it a particularly reasonable reason not to disturb the hostess? And at this time, when the wind opened his eyes, a gentle gaze that seemed to have no anger or courage swept over him, but the famous mercenary leader who had been the leader of the famous mercenaries who had been the king in the battle between the Cape of Storm and the continent of Sothness was already sweating profusely.
"Mr. Jashan." The wind opened his mouth lightly, and his voice was still warm and smiling, as if a girl next door that everyone liked was greeting the uncle in the neighborhood.
"In the ...... Sickness, Miss Wind. Oh no, Tempest-sama, that'...... Today, today ......"
"It's really nice today, isn't it?"
"Yes, yes...... Yes, Tempest-sama. ”
"The last time we met, it seemed like five years ago, right? That time, I remember we worked well together. ”
"Yes, without you, I would have died that time......" Maybe the attitude of the wind was too kind, and the old mercenary was a little relieved, and said with a smile: "Actually, I saw you last time, and on the day of the opening of the Future Building, you also came to speak a little." I, the villain, also came to see the excitement, and I also bought a complete set of guide furnaces and guide lamps from you. ”
In fact, he himself was more interested in the legendary tactical guide that could also cast magic for illiterate fools, but it was currently a special offering of the Guerrilla Guild and was not available for sale for the time being. Even the Adventurers' Guild, which is close to the Guerrilla Guild, and the Neosfia Navy will not be able to get their hands on the first samples until next year.
Hurricane nodded, his smile still the same, but his voice suddenly became a little colder: "Very good, so are you here this time to seek wealth or anger?" ”
"I, I, I ......"
"The rules of mercenaries are not rules, they are just unspoken rules that you have agreed upon. And this is Gloren, the territory of the Federation, of course, it is actually the territory of my husband. You have signed a contract, and you must not violate the law and order here, otherwise you will be prosecuted. Everybody is a businessman, and you should do things according to the contract, right? ”
"Yes, yes! What you taught is this! ”
"And what are you doing here with so many men in full gear? Are you going to riot? ”
"I'm ......"
"Oh, it seems that it's not just rioting, it's here to kill, burn and loot." Tempest nodded, then slowly stood up. The big dog in armor at her feet also got up from the ground, and the height of his back when he stood up was actually up to her waist. The two female knights behind her, one tall and one short, who also had armor, also stepped forward with swords and hammers. One is a young girl, and the other looks like a child at all, but Gu Pan is extremely murderous and full of courage.
It was at this time that the urgency that a veteran mercenary with a hundred battles should have actually burst out, and he immediately said: "The little one is to bring everyone to train, and run through the city from the garrison to the port area in full armor, and then return the same way!" ”
The wind was happy, and I didn't know if it was angry and laughed, so he paused for a few seconds before saying, "...... That's a good idea. But if you do this, you will disturb the people. ”
"Yes, yes, you are taught."
"Besides, I can't listen to it now." The wind touched the belly that was not yet pregnant at all, and smiled with a face full of maternal holiness.
Jia Shan wanted to say "congratulations", but he always felt that it was not too appropriate to say such festive words at this time.
"Why don't you do it. Since you and your people are so fond of training, turn around from here and go straight out of the city and run three laps around the city walls. It can not only have the effect of exercising, but also patrol the city defense to observe the security or something, okay? ”
Is it possible to say no at this time? The old mercenary was about to leave with a bitter face, but as soon as he turned around, he heard the wind say faintly: "In addition, go and tell your colleagues that they will not be paid less, but I don't want them to have more thoughts that they shouldn't have." We're all from Neosfia, so I'm willing to give you a chance. Please don't make it hard for me, okay? ”
Jia Shan shuddered for a moment, but then turned around and straightened his chest, saluted the wind as if he had received the highest instructions, and then drove away with all the people.
"So, Captain, are we really going to run horses?"
"That lady said she wanted to run, do you dare to say no? Or, what, do you still want to reason with her? ”
"No, don't dare ......"
The Firekiss Mercenary Regiment left in a completely dejected manner as when they came, and the whole training that followed the three laps around the city made them even more miserable. What they never expected was that hundreds of heavily armed runners would become a spectacle of the day in Gloren Harbour, attracting many citizens to watch.
As for whether the famous Fire Kiss will become a laughing stock in the mercenary world because of this, it is really impossible to control. You must know that the headquarters of this famous mercenary group that has a history of nearly 100 years is located in Neosfia, and most of the cadres have made their homes there, and many high-level officials, including the head of the regiment, know who the wind is.
That's really offended.
However, not all mercenaries understand what the names of the current day of the Night Heavens, "Reincarnation of the Goddess of Magic", "King of Witches", and "Banshee of the South Seas" mean. In the same way, mercenaries, the most undisciplined military group in the world, are unlikely to really retreat because of a pregnant woman's words.
Then, the following conversation took place in a dark and secluded place.
"Yes, she was indeed unexpected in Gloren, but it was also within our plans. There are more than 10,000 mercenaries, dragons and snakes, fierce and arrogant, and there are many lawless people, and it makes sense that she is here in person. However, no matter how powerful she is, she is also a pregnant woman, and it is impossible to cover everything. Is it possible for a pregnant woman to stay up late every day and stare at every inch of this city? Don't you need to have a baby? Don't you need to sleep? ”
“…… Well, can you really be sure she's pregnant? ”
"Who can you fool in that state? And we have also done divination through prophecy...... Don't look at me like that. I know that prophecy can be easily interfered with by transcendent people, let alone the king of the night sky. To be honest, if that woman appeared within 100 meters of me, I might not even dare to pinch it. Anyway, it's not difficult to determine if someone is pregnant, and I'm casting a spell in the temple of Goddess Mara, so I'm absolutely sure that nothing will go wrong! ”
Goddess Mara is the goddess of the earth and the harvest, ruling over the land, agriculture, and the survival of all things, as well as the protector of marriage and children, presumably because the birth of a child can also be counted in the "harvest". Casting spells in such places can theoretically increase the success rate.
"So...... Just act tonight? ”
"Yes, it has to be tonight, the old men can't wait. Moreover, thanks to the reckless man of Jiashan, the whole city is panicked, and the guerrillas and her will exhaust their mental strength just to appease the common people, which is our best time! ”
