"If I hire you now, how many people can you muster?" Higg asked.

"I can only gather more than thirty people now!" "Most of the people have been sent out to find out information, and if I want to recruit them all back, it will take at least a month, and after a month, I can recruit more than 100 people!" If the mission department is very heavy, I can introduce you to other mercenary groups! ”

"It's very important, I don't want other mercenaries to take over, you can recruit some more!" Higg picked up his glass, took a sip of it, and said with a grin, "My mission is a long-term mission, and if you take over my mission, you and your people will have no problem keeping your life!" ”

"What kind of task!" Ganada asked with interest, "As long as I can find a way for my brothers, I will do it!" ”

With a wave of his hand, Higg blocked an air screen between his table and the tavern, blocking out all sounds, and then said with a smile, "Escort the caravanserais, or form a caravanserais!" ”

"Smuggling?" Gnarda's eyes widened and he asked.

"So to speak!" "We only make horses, leather, animal tendons and other things on the grassland!" ”

"Military supplies?" Ganada was even more surprised.

"You don't dare to do it?" Higg asked rhetorically.

"Who says don't dare?" Gnarda took a sip of the wine in the bowl and said, "Isn't it dangerous to do our business, which is originally a knife licking blood?" As long as we can live, we will do it! Which line? ”

"Harandor camp to the town of Saffo in the Ural Grand Canyon!" "You can work with the Harlandor or just escort the caravan, but depending on your path, I think it's better for you to work together!" ”

"I don't have the capital!" Harlando said, "It's better to just be an escort!" ”

"I'll pay for it!" Higg said.

"You're out?" Gnarda jumped up, "Then I will cooperate with the Harandor tribe, use them as cover, we will be the contact party and escort, and the goods will flow to their tribal camp first, and then be transported to the town of Ural Safo!" ”

"Don't worry, I've taken care of the Grand Fortress in the Ural Grand Canyon, so you don't have to worry about it!" Higg said.

"Who's the buyer?" Ganada asked curiously, "How much does the buyer want?" ”

"The buyer is me! I will receive as many goods as there are! Higg said, "The profits are divided equally between the three of us, that is, one for you and me, one for the Harando, and all the materials you transport to the town of Saffo, there will be a special comptoir there to pick you up, and my comptoir will pay you three times the cost price after deducting my own profits, that is to say, the net profit of your mercenary group and the Harandor clan is twice the cost of the materials you bought!" I have words first, as long as I am good, I would rather lack than abuse, especially war horses! ”

"Twice the net profit?" Gnarda's eyes widened, and he quickly took another sip of wine to suppress his shock.

Higg also took a sip of wine and said: "At least three million or more materials will be received from the grassland every year, and it will be completed, I will have another dividend, and it will not be completed, hehe, I will find the next one to do it!" ”

"In other words, it's done, and the Harlandor clan and I can earn at least six million gold coins a year?" Ganada's jaw was about to fall.

"I will pay you five million first, and one million will be used to form caravans and recruit troops! The other four million, as the operating cost of the caravan, if you can complete the task of three million for two consecutive years, the cost of forming the caravan of one million is your dividend! ”

"You just trust us like that?" Ganada suddenly asked, "Aren't you afraid that we will run away with the money?" ”

"Are you more powerful than Porlyfimo?" Higg sneered, "A few million dollars for me, a small amount of money, Gnada, three million thrown to the Thieves' Guild, you just run to the ends of the earth, enough for them to find out the cost of you!" ”

"I'm just making an analogy!" Gnarda laughed, "I advise you not to trust others too much in business!" ”

"The person I fancy will not betray me, and neither will you!" Higg raised his glass and said, "Now that you've agreed to cooperate, let's do this wine!" ”

"Good!" Ganada stood up, picked up the bowl, and dried it in one go.

"I'm going to the Harandor tribe!" Higg said, "Come with me, leave the matter here to your men, and let them gather men at once, and I will pay you twenty boxes of gold coins to recruit troops and horses in a moment!" Don't be reluctant to spend money, recruit some useless waste, and if you want to form, form the strongest and most elite mercenary group! ”

"When are you going?" "Harando's summer pasture is in the Herson Meadows, more than seven hundred kilometers east of Dante!" ”

"The sooner the better, you go and get ready!" "It's better to have a car, a woman and a baby!" Higg said. ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it and set off the day after tomorrow!" "But now that there aren't many people, and I'm going to arrange for some of them to gather people, I'm afraid the strength to escort you will be very thin!" ”

Higg said: "You can go with us alone, your people must be formed, it is already the height of summer, autumn is coming, there is no delay, otherwise, you will not be able to complete this year's task!" ”

……

White clouds hang in the blue sky, mountains are tightly connected, patches of grass are green layer by layer, tents are smoky, groups of cattle and sheep are clustered, and bursts of singing are carried in the wind......

A carriage, sitting on Butterfly Caiyun and her children, three people and three horses, Higg, Blue Fairy and Gnarda, after leaving 400,000 gold coins in Dante's small town for Gnarda's men to operate and regroup to form a mercenary army, all the way west, walking on the vast savannah.

For the first time, Higg felt that the prairie was so open and unrestrained, in his previous impression, the prairie was always windy, blizzard, cold, and desolate, and after nearly ten years, he walked the prairie again, but it was so beautiful and serene, which made people bold and happy.

The Ganada mercenary, in line with the principle of not asking if he shouldn't ask, didn't ask who the woman next to Higg was, he only recognized the butterfly clouds on the carriage; He wouldn't ask Higg where he got the twenty boxes of gold coins, and the blue fairy always had an endless supply of water and food, tents, etc., Hig was a mysterious demon, and his women, and even his children, must be demons.

There are no roads on the grassland, there will be some undulating slopes but not too steep, as long as the direction is not wrong, you can always reach your destination. Although horseback riding can be fast, horse-drawn carriages cannot, so under the blue sky and white clouds, there are herds of cattle and sheep, and some nomadic tents are scattered here and there. The four of them seemed to be very leisurely, they didn't talk much, they had been walking for ten days, and according to the direction that Ganada said, the Elsun pasture should not be far from here.

……

Most of the names of places on the grassland are marked by rivers, lakes or mountain peaks, and the Elsun Grassland is because there is a small lake called the Elsun Lake within a radius of dozens of kilometers, and the Elsun Grassland is a natural and excellent pasture that relies on the moisture of the entire lake and the surrounding small rivers. But this is already very close to the Gori Desert, Saladin Pass is more than 200 kilometers north of the grassland, the horror legend of the Gori Desert, so that many big families are far away from this grassland, but it has become a good place for small families to compete for nomadism.

"Why do I pay more than you?" In the leader's tent, Zartai said angrily, "Why do we small tribes have to fight each other and kill each other? It is those big tribes who oppress and bully us, it is the task they have assigned to us, you don't dare to resist, and you don't want to make more friends, but you unite to bully my Harando, hahaha, are you really easy to bully us? ”

"You Harlandor are latecomers, and it's already merciful enough to let you graze here!" Riggs, the patriarch of the Nalan family, smiled, "Based on this, you should pay more!" ”

"Fart!" Zartai said, "Our clan has been in the Elsun Grassland for hundreds of thousands of years, and it seems that the latecomers are your Nalan family, the Kodor family, and the Dong'an family!" It's you who should pay more! ”

"Your family gave up this pasture in order to escape the plague, who is to blame?" The patriarch of the Kodor family, Intri, said with a smile, "You have gone out to hide for decades, let the pasture be wasted, our family has been running the pasture for decades, we pity you, give you a place to stay, you are not grateful to Dade, but you have to use strong words to evade responsibility, you are simply a white-eyed wolf!" ”

"Hahaha, how did my tribe get out of this grassland, you know better than anyone else, in order to prevent the plague from spreading to the grasslands, we sacrificed ourselves and temporarily gave up the grassland. The sun and the eagle in the sky can see clearly, and I, the Harando, have done my best," Zartai laughed and said, "Who is the white-eyed wolf?" What if I don't? ”

"There are rules on the prairie on the prairie, and the strong are respected!" The patriarch of the Dong'an family, Soroni, sneered, "Are you sure you have the ability to fight against our three tribes?" ”

"Hahaha!" Zartai stood up and continued laughing, "I don't have the power to deal with the three of you families, but it's more than enough to deal with a few of you insatiable guys!" Sinkma! ”

"Patriarch!" The scimitar-wielding Cinkma dodged into the chief's tent and saluted Zartai.

"What are you going to do?" Riggs said angrily, "This is my camp, Sinkma, don't retreat!" ”

Sinkma remained motionless and glared angrily at the three leaders, and the faces of the three leaders sitting on the carpet changed.

Riggs calmed down a little and sneered, "Zartai, what do you want to do?" This is my place! Sinkma, even if you are the number one warrior of the Hersun steppe, will you two dare to be arrogant in my camp? ”

"If there's something, sit down and discuss, sit down!" Soroni also felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and hurriedly said, "Everything still has to be discussed, the Halando patriarch does not agree to the tax payment plan, let's discuss it again, it's okay, Sinkma, you go out first, and our leaders will discuss......"

Before he could finish speaking, Zartai's scimitar had already struck, and he accidentally moved Soroni's head off his neck, and the blood gushed like a pillar, and Soroni's head fell on the carpet where mutton and milk tea were placed in the middle of the tent......

Sinkma also shot almost at the same time, splitting Interry in half with a knife, without even a chance to snort, these people were originally heroes on the grassland, but at this time others were standing, sitting by themselves, unprepared, defenseless, facing Ersun's two most terrifying warriors, the hapless Soloni and Interry, who died under the swords of Zartai and Sinker who did not play cards according to common sense......

Riggs got up in horror and drew his sword, and was about to break out of the tent, but he was the master of this camp, but he was sitting in the innermost position of the master of the camp tent, and if he wanted to escape, he had to pass by Zartai and Sinkma, there was no way but to fight!

"Someone!" Riggs roared loudly as he lunged out.

As soon as he finished shouting, Sinkma's scimitar cut off his right hand holding the knife, and Riggs screamed, but Sinkma knocked him unconscious with the hilt of his knife, grabbed his belt, and lifted it up......

"Let's go!" Zartai shouted.

Out of the camp, the two of them had already prepared two horses outside, and the two of them successively cut off the seven or eight nomadic horsemen who had not ridden in the camp, and both turned over on their horses......

Several fierce encounters attracted the attention of most of the nomadic cavalry in the camp, and the horn sounded in the camp, and the nomadic cavalry near the camp tent of the leader of a dozen leaders immediately rushed towards the periphery.

"Let's go separately, you go back to the camp and act according to the plan, and I'll take the hostages to the east to lead them away!" Sinkma picked up Riggs, turned over on his horse, and said to Zartai without hesitation, without waiting for Zartai to answer, he clamped his legs and ran eastward with a puff of smoke......
