Chapter 144: Annexation
Alexandrina's face was hidden under the black veil, but Dane was not blind, and of course he could see the resentment in the woman's eyes. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's not that Dane doesn't know Delina's feelings, but he really has a hard time accepting it.
He's not a good guy, but if another woman pounces on him like this, he will never refuse. Although Delina often covered her face with a black veil, Dane, who had seen her true face, knew that she was a very beautiful woman. What if you really want to do it? It's a big deal to pull out ** ruthlessly, he's not a good man, and he's done this more than once.
But for Delina, he still has some bottom lines.
Delina's father, Alexander, was once a famous lone ranger for Schindlaire, and in his early years, Dane had been favored by Alexander.
Alexander had a daughter in his later years, trying to seek a stable life, no longer taking the path of a lone ranger, but relying on his accumulated reputation, he established a pure sword mercenary group, and with his own unique ability, he created a special class in the pure sword corps - pure swordsman. These swordsmen, who simply use long swords, have extremely special and exquisite swordsmanship. It was also with such a group of swordsmen trained by their own hands that the Pure Sword Regiment gained a firm foothold in the chaotic Hindlaire not long after its establishment.
But after all, the foundation is too shallow. When the development of the Pure Sword Mercenary Group was booming, there were some black hands that invisibly stretched out to the Pure Sword. Among them, the most blatant hand was from the overlord of Shawan Port at that time, the warlord Ma Long.
Pure Sword is just a mercenary group, even if it has great potential, but when a huge warlord force stretches out its black hand, Alexander can't resist it. And so, the danger of destruction came.
It is also thanks to Alexander's early years as a lone ranger that he formed a lot of good relationships in Schindlaire's mercenary circle - for example, Dane received his favor. Eventually, Marlon's plan to annex Pure Sword and acquire the training methods of Pure Swordsman did not succeed. Although Alexander died in the end, and the thriving momentum of the Pure Sword was instantly curbed, and there was no sign of rising again, Delina obtained her father's inheritance and succeeded to the position of leader of the Pure Sword Mercenary Regiment.
It is conceivable that Delina, who was only a girl at the time, had some kind of feelings for Dane, who personally rescued her from the danger of her life and gave her the greatest help when she really controlled the absolute power of the Pure Sword Mercenary Group instead of becoming a puppet.
Deep gratitude is indescribable.
For women, their feelings are usually more delicate than men's. However, it is this delicacy that makes it easy for them to confuse certain emotions. For example, turning gratitude, gratitude, and emotion into some kind of love, as Delina did to Dane.
Other women, Dane laughed at them, but Delina couldn't. If the concubine is interested in having a relationship, it would be fine, but the problem is that although Delina looks like him, he really has no interest in this girl film from two years ago. Alexander used to be kind to him, he came to help for the sake of the face of the old head of the pure sword, and the personal relationship was so good, since he didn't feel for Delina, then he didn't have the idea of harming other people's daughters.
So, after feeling that Alessandrina's affection for him seemed to be a little beyond his feelings for a big brother, he chose to estranged from her quite decisively.
But he didn't expect that Delina's character inherited her father's tenacity while maintaining the characteristics of perseverance in this emotion. He was so distraught that he could only try his best to avoid it. But who would have thought that this time Morno's crusade plan would actually involve the participation of pure swords?
To be honest, even if he knew it in advance, it would be impossible for Dane to give up participating in the Eastern Crusade, otherwise, with the development of the Seven Clans base, there would be no way to solve the land problem.
Along the way, he has tried to have as little contact with this woman as possible, and he is afraid of being entangled again. To his relief, Delina didn't seem to have that meaning anymore, and she didn't bother him anymore along the way. Unexpectedly, I still didn't hide today.
Looking at the woman's resentful gaze, Dane felt that he really should say something, such as ......
"Delina, I've always regarded you as my sister's ......"
A sister card is so straightforward.
Delina seemed to laugh, and she said, "I won't discuss this today. ”
Dane couldn't wait: "Okay, okay, what do you want to talk about?" ”
"You may also have some understanding of the situation of our Pure Sword Mercenary Group in the past two years. In Hindlaire, the mercenaries live in too harsh conditions and the competition is too difficult. After my father's death, I held on to the mercenary group for two years, and now I can't hold it anymore, and I have to find a more stable way out for my brothers. I see, Dane, you have a good development on Komyrya Island, are you interested in hiring a mercenary group to be based in Komya? ”
In fact, Dane didn't have much interest in mercenaries, but since it was a pure sword, he thought he could consider it.
The current situation in Komyrya, relative to the population, is actually somewhat surplus. But there are many threats he has to face, such as the dungeons of the Faceless, such as strife on the continent. All these forced him to vigorously expand his armaments in the process of development.
But he would rather slow down the expansion of his army than create an uncontrolled force on Komyria, for the rebellion in Pehin more than half a month ago had already sounded the alarm for him. Relatively speaking, mercenaries who work for money and do not have much moral bottom line are obviously unstable and difficult to control military forces.
Seeing that Dane was lost in thought, Delina continued: "After the end of this crusade, there is probably not much suspense about the ownership of Hanhai Castle, and it will definitely be in your hands. At that time, you will have Hanhai Fort and Komya Island, and you will need stronger strength to protect it no matter what. Our two hundred warriors will die to become a sharp sword in your hands. ”
Dane nodded and said, "I can promise you, but there is one condition: if you come with your men, the Pure Sword Mercenary Group will cease to exist. I will not keep an independent mercenary group in my regular ranks, and if you want to join, you must revoke the title of mercenary group. When the time comes, the Pure Sword Mercenary Corps will be disbanded, but I promise that I will set aside a Pure Sword Brigade under my command. It is up to me to pay you and pay according to the rules of the soldiers recruited, and I will no longer recruit you in the form of tasks and hires. Would you like to? ”
"This ......" Dane's words made Delina difficult to accept for a while, and there was a big gap with her imagination - doesn't this mean that Dane wants to annex the Pure Sword Mercenary Group?
