Chapter 269: Convening
Serik didn't know how to get Johnson's appetite right, and after the beast tide ended, he stayed in the city guard of Red Leaf City as a squad leader. As an elite veteran who once won the Order of the Iron Spear, Serik's military literacy is nothing to say. It is said that Johnson has planned to focus on training him, and he is one of the next batch of people who will go to Saber Fort to receive training from Commander Ios.
But just a few days before the training camp, he was sent by Morey to Balsini City on a business trip, which made him suffer a little.
It's not that he is reluctant to give up the opportunity to train intensively, compared to the attention of Baron Morey, the owner of Red Leaf City, the training camp of Saber Fort is not worth mentioning at all. On the contrary, it was because of Morey's attention that he was under some pressure, what if this errand was messed up?
Lord Morey probably also saw that he was a native of Balsini City, and with the credit of his own warning last time, he gave himself the opportunity, otherwise as long as the baron opened his mouth, he could be lined up from Red Leaf City to the Bitt Mountains.
So at this moment, although he pretended to be casual and took a sip of ale from time to time, he had long been eager to directly turn into a giant and sneak all the six people in the booth back to Red Leaf City.
"You mean, Baron Morey is going to hire us to fight those noble lords in the Far East?" Pate couldn't react a little, they had just received the news that Morey had been officially appointed by the king as the commander-in-chief of the Far East Army to command the Third and Nineteenth Army Corps, and there were 20,000 elites who could fight well, how could they send someone to invite themselves to this small mercenary team of only 6 people.
"Yes, it's true, and I specifically ask Captain Pate to go to Red Leaf City to talk to the adults, and it will naturally be clear when the time comes!" Serik said with a calm expression.
"Hehe, Commander-in-Chief Morey just gave out the task and the plan, aren't you afraid that we will tell those noble lords?" Pate looked at Serik with a smirk.
"This Lord Morey didn't mention it, presumably he didn't think about it at all." Serik said without humility or arrogance.
There are two levels of understanding of this, the first is naturally to understand it for the better, Morey knows Pate's character, he is not the kind of person who stabs him in the back, even if he doesn't agree to hire him, he won't leak it out, this second layer, naturally, he thinks that Pate doesn't dare, now Morey is one of the biggest names in the Far East, offended him, and he didn't want to mix it up in the Far East, and those nobles were no more than a hundred gold coins at most, how could they offset such a loss.
"Haha, Lord Morey knows me, let's pack up and go!" Pate smiled and took the initiative to take Serick's hand and shook it vigorously.
"Yay!"
Max, who was looking at his captain next to him, was the first to jump up after hearing Pate's words, but he knew that this Baron Morey was not a stingy person, and this time they could finally have a good meal!
Looking at the cheering Max and his teammates with happy faces, the little depression in Pate's heart completely dissipated.
......
Momiji Castle, militia battalion.
Today, Johnson ordered a militia of 1,000 people to start a week-long field training outside the city, vacating the barracks, and since this afternoon, mercenaries in various clothes have been living in it.
Although the remaining militia were curious, they did not dare to relax under the authority of the veterans of the pioneer period of the Faist family, and meticulously carried out their training plan.
"It's really not a fluke that this Baron Morey can have today, the militia in this militia battalion is not far from the second-line garrison of those kingdoms!" A mercenary put down his package, looked at the militiamen of Red Leaf City who were sweating under the scorching sun, and said with emotion.
"Hehe, you look up to those guys who guard the door too much!" With a look of disdain, the companion pointed to the militia holding the sword and shield and slashed loudly, and said slowly: "If it is one-on-one, these recruits can't beat those soldiers, and most of them will be overturned!" ”
"But if it's squad against squad against squad against squad, it's much harder for those ruffians to deal with them."
"But if it's a squadron against a squadron, hehe, those militias in Red Leaf City can treat them as chickens!"
At first glance, the mercenaries thought that their companions were alarmist, but when they looked closely, they found that although these militiamen were still a little immature in their methods and very rigid in attacking, they marched in unison and in an orderly manner, and only then did they feel that what their companions said was true.
The afternoon passed in a hurry, and the mercenaries went to bed early after dinner, and they were a little tired from the day's march, so they soon snored.
But at the same time, in the City Lord's Mansion, Morey was receiving the mercenary captains in the hall.
"Daddy York, the Scarlet Battle Banner is said to have hunted another dragon, and it's been profitable!"
"Haha, you can't call it that, Lord Morey! That giant dragon is one of those farmers who don't understand the world, just a dragonborn with a little dragon blood, and he can't sell it for a few bucks! York smiled and waved his hand, but the pride in his words was palpable.
Being able to hunt a dragonborn with a bit of dragon blood on his own is enough to be proud of his peers in the Far East.
"Arnold, I didn't expect you to be with Captain Ernest, I thought I couldn't find you!" After a few more pleasantries with York, Morey found the low-level assassin who was a man of few words.
"The scorpion had to make an order, and I wasn't sure, so it found me." Arnold said lightly.
Morey didn't ask what kind of task it was, but "Scorpion" is best at helping people out, and Arnold, an assassin, is also best at killing, and the two together, it is estimated which big man will be unlucky.
Then Morey raised his glass and exchanged a few pleasantries with the mercenary captains, and then returned to his seat.
Bite!
The silver spoon struck lightly on the crystal goblet, and the hall fell silent.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Morey smiled and said slowly: "Captains can take the time to come, I would like to extend a warm welcome on behalf of Red Leaf City!" ”
"Welcome all old comrades-in-arms to Red Leaf City again!"
"Today's dinner, one is to wash the dust for you, and the other is to wish us a victory!"
"Everyone, drink this cup to the full!"
With that, Morey raised his head and drank the red wine from his glass.
And Corey looked at Morey's such an unruly behavior, although he wanted to come forward to admonish, but looking at Hyde staring at him coldly, he had to dispel this idea.
The mercenary captains, who had been a little awkward since they entered the unusually splendid hall of the decoration, were suddenly overjoyed to see Morey behave like this, and they laughed loudly, and then poured all the red wine that was almost hot in their hands into their throats, and the dark red wine stained their clothes.
