17. I have an easier way
The city of Acala is a northern city second only to Northern Winterfell.
The more prosperous the city, the more developed the business and trade, and the greater the flow of people, so that both jobs and opportunities are larger than ordinary cities. The Mercenary Guild in Acala City was developed by virtue of this method, and now it has become the third-ranked branch in the entire Northern Territory, second only to the Mercenary Guild in Northern Winter City and the Mercenary Guild in Vadaan City.
In the Mercenary Guild of Acala City, there are more than twenty mercenaries who have reached the golden rank, except for a small number of veteran mercenaries who rely on qualifications, knowledge, experience, etc., most of the others are real combat factions whose own strength has reached the level of hero candidates.
However, although the number of mercenaries who have reached this rank is not small, there are only two mercenary groups with a gold rank level.
The Rose of Tedmis, and, the Spear of Freedom.
The former, is Acala. Sister of Count Tedmis, Sophia. A mercenary group formed by Tedmis. This mercenary group takes the elite route, although there are less than thirty mercenaries in the mercenary group today, but including Sophia, there are a total of seven gold-rank mercenaries, three of whom are the top ten real combatants in the gold-level mercenary guild of Acala City; And there are as many as fifteen silver-rank mercenaries whose strength has reached more than twenty-one levels, including Deacon, who is ranked first in the silver rank of the Mercenary Guild of Acala City. White.
In the city of Acala, and even in the entire county of Endri, the Rose Mercenary Regiment of Tydemis is a well-deserved king.
Even if it is placed in the Northern Winter City Mercenary Guild, or the Vadaan City Mercenary Guild, the Rose Mercenary Group of Tedmis can definitely be ranked in the top three.
At this time, in the side hall of the City Lord's Mansion in Akara City, a woman with a mediocre appearance, but exuding an awe-inspiring momentum, was sitting upright on the main seat.
Next to her, there were two seats, a man and a woman.
The man was handsome, not very old, about twenty-five or six, with bright blond hair and a gentle smile on his face. Although he was only wearing a simple white shirt and linen-colored trousers at this time, and a pair of cowhide boots on his feet, the whole person exuded an extremely noble temperament. Anyone who saw this man would never suspect that the other party was a nobleman.
But in fact, he was not a nobleman, just a commoner.
Tony.
There are only first names, no surnames.
But he is the deputy head of the Rose Mercenary Regiment of Tedmis, the first person of the Golden Rank of the Akara Mercenary Guild, and even the first person of the Golden Rank of the entire Northern Mercenary Guild. It can be said that a large part of the reason why Tedemis's Rose Mercenary Group has been able to grow and grow, and even rank in the top three among all mercenary groups in the entire northern border, is because of this person.
The other woman was slightly younger, only 16 years old.
She is Sophia II. Tedmis, known as Little Sophia, was the Earl of Endrie Akara. The youngest daughter of Tedmis. Because of her outstanding talent, she has been personally instructed by Sophia since she was a child, and although she is only sixteen years old now, she is already a true master, and she is far higher than Vail in the silver rank rating of the Mercenary Guild of Akara City, ranking fourth.
"Wow, Aunt Sophia, you didn't see Vail's face at the time, you were just angry." Little Sophia said with a smile, her voice a little high, looking very excited, "I have never seen Vail suffer such a big loss. Moreover, you can break Vail's [Arc Light Slash] just by relying on [Powerful Slash], wow! Really, I think this guy is really, really powerful, and I even suspect that he might be a candidate for heroism. ”
Sophia looked at her niece with a doting expression.
She had just returned from a mission with her team, and she would have at least half a month of rest in the future.
As is customary, every time she returns, she asks Tony about what happened when she left Akara. It's just that today, in addition to Tony coming over, even little Sophia couldn't wait to run over, and judging from her tone, it was obvious that she was very interested in the rookie mercenary who had just defeated Vail.
"That's true." Seeing Sophia's gaze at him, Tony nodded, "His attack speed is faster than Vail's, and he does break Vail's [Arc Light Slash] with [Strong Slash]. However, I was not there at the time, so I can't judge anything, but my opinion is the same as that of Sophia Jr., the opponent's strength is definitely above Vail. However, I have reservations about whether or not the strength of the candidate will be achieved. ”
"You're always so cautious." Sophia smiled and shook her head, "But at least you can be sure that the other party is a talented genius?" ”
"Yes." Tony nodded, "That's confirmed." ”
"Isn't that just like our little Sophia?" Sophia smiled at little Sophia and teased.
"The other party has a daughter." Tony spoke.
"That's a shame." Hearing this, Sophia was slightly stunned, and then shook her head.
"What!" Little Sophia naturally knew what her aunt and Tony were talking about, and she was immediately a little embarrassed.
Although she was unable to inherit the title of Count Endri, and she was indeed quite talented, she practiced with Sophia and embarked on the path of mercenary. After all, in the future, the Rose Mercenary Group of Tedmis can only fall into the hands of the Tedmis family.
But in the same way, she was born in an aristocratic family, and now she has indeed reached the age of marriage, whether it is her aunt Sophia or her father Akara, they have begun to help her find a suitable marriage partner, which makes little Sophia feel very helpless.
Gently turning the topic away, Sophia spoke: "Then is it possible to absorb him into our mercenary group?" ”
"He's already joined the Storm Mercenary Regiment." Tony shook his head, "The Storm Mercenary Group invited him to join the Storm Mercenary Group on the condition of recommending him to participate in the assessment. Just before you return, they have just left the city of Akara to begin their mission. After all, the Storm Mercenary Group has not completed the tasks in the first two months, and they will have no byes this year. ”
"Storm Mercenary Regiment?" Sophia nodded in understanding, "It's a pity. ”
She didn't know if she was saying that it was a pity for the Storm Mercenary Group, or if she was saying that she felt sorry for not being able to absorb Su Yan into her mercenary group.
"Maybe we can talk to him when he gets back?" Tony asked tentatively.
"Let's talk about it." Sophia was noncommittal, "Since he has made Vail lose face in front of so many people, with Vail's character, he will definitely not give up easily." Let's wait and see for a moment, if he can really show strong enough strength, then he is qualified to let us help him. ”
Tony shrugged his shoulders and said no more.
And little Sophia did not continue to express any opinions on this issue.
Soon, they started talking about other topics.
……
Su Yan had already gone through all the relevant formalities in the morning and officially joined the Storm Mercenary Group.
After briefly introducing himself to each other with only one time to have breakfast, he set off directly with the Storm Mercenary Group.
They had already wasted five days waiting for Su Yan to join, so they didn't have much time to waste at the moment.
And Stuelsen obviously knew that his Storm Mercenary Group was already at a low point of strength, and Su Yan was a newcomer and did not have any tacit understanding with the rest of the group, so the silver-level bounty task he selected was currently the easiest among all the silver-level missions of the Akara Mercenary Guild.
"Get the horns and hearts of a pair of carbines."
The Carbine Two-Horned Rhinoceros is a red-skinned monster with a massive body size of three meters tall and seven meters long, with two bull horns on the left and right sides of its head, in addition to a solid sharp horn on its long lips that protrude. Their short dash can knock a level 25 defensive physical professional up to 100 meters into the air, and their thick stone-like skin gives them a lot of damage reduction in terms of physical attacks.
Therefore, the easiest way to deal with this kind of magical beast is actually to have the physical profession responsible for attracting hatred, and then let the magic profession throw a few magic spells far away, which can be easily solved.
But it's a pity that the Storm Mercenary Regiment doesn't have a high-level, rare profession like a magician: there is a magician, and this task is simply a black iron level of difficulty; But without a mage, this task would be much more difficult than the average Silver level - this is the easiest of all the Silver level high bounty missions, after all, as long as you get the timing right, you can still successfully complete this task.
The key to the carbine two-horned rhinoceros lies in the lower abdomen, as long as you can successfully get close to the carbine two-horned rhinoceros and take advantage of its weakness of inconvenient turning, it can be easily solved.
In the past, if you wanted to hunt this kind of magical beast, it was usually the old hunters in the regiment who first reconnoitred the terrain and then set traps; Then, Stuhlson and another defender will lure him in, as long as he uses the trap to force the Carbine two-horned rhinoceros with the combination of two defenders; Finally, let the others rush up and start the harvest.
So that the task can be completed.
But now, there are only two silver-rank masters in the entire Storm Mercenary Group, and the other three are all bronze-ranked.
Although Su Yan has joined, raising the master-level strength of the Storm Mercenary Group to three, how to arrange tactics and strategies is still a problem.
The bigger problem, though......
"Mr. Levy, ...... you" Stuhlson looked at Anna who was held in Su Yan's arms, "Are you really not considering leaving Miss Anna in Akara City?" The carbine two-horned rhinoceros is a very dangerous beast. ”
"No, it's safer for her to stay with me." Su Yan shook his head.
The whole city of Acala knew that he had fallen out with the Dark Men mercenaries, and that Vail and his group of retarded people were eager to tear him to pieces. And their original purpose was to fight Anna's idea, to leave little Anna in Acala City, which was the biggest danger.
"Well, okay then." Shaking his head, Stuhlson didn't continue on this issue, but he began to think about whether it was right for him to invite Su Yan into the Storm Mercenary Group, "Then when the time comes, I will still be responsible for attracting and resisting head-on." And Mr. Levy, you are responsible for assisting me from the side. As for Lena...... You're in charge of the strategy, and then the others try not to get too close to the carbine two-horned rhinoceros. As soon as the Carbine Two-Horned Rhino is forced to stop by us, everyone immediately attacks, understand? ”
"Got it!"
"Understood."
The members of the two surrounding Storm Mercenary Corps nodded their heads in understanding.
And for such an arrangement, they naturally will not have any opinions.
After all, in today's Storm Mercenary Group, except for Stuhlson, Lena, and the newly joined Su Yan, who are all master-level masters, the remaining middle-aged men and young men are only professionals, and the other teenager of the Storm Mercenary Group has not even reached the professional level, and this time the mission is also quite dangerous, so he was not allowed to follow.
In such difficult conditions, Steulson really couldn't have a better tactical arrangement.
"Don't bother." Su Yan shook his head in denial of Stuhlson's proposal, "I have an easier way." ”
