Xia Di showed off the gloves in his hand. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In fact, the weapon he is best at using should be the sword, but when he uses the sword, he usually directly uses the martial arts stone in his pocket, so there are no other weapons hanging on his waist, and it is difficult to say that he is a swordsman.
Barlow nodded, as if in acceptance.
"So you seem to be a team, huh?" Barlow spread out his hand, a warm smile on his handsome face, "Adventure groups and mercenary groups? Don't you feel like we're close? ā
It's all far-fetched tone.
Xia Di thought to himself.
Although it is also an industry that takes money to do things, adventurers and mercenaries are very different in many ways.
The adventurer's work includes daily commissions such as gathering and finding people, as well as combat commissions such as reconnaissance and expelling monsters.
Mercenaries are different, they are mainly responsible for only combat commissions, as long as there is a client, sometimes not to mention even gray area work, even illegal work may be accepted, so it is more difficult to manage.
But it is precisely because of this that the salary of mercenaries is generally higher than that of adventurers.
"Not at all." Kay said expressionlessly.
"Uh......" seemed to not expect the other party to deny it so bluntly, Barlow's face appeared embarrassed, he coughed lightly, and was about to change the subject, a thick male voice attracted everyone's attention.
"Guys, please come here!"
Xia Di and the others subconsciously looked in the direction of the center of the tavern, and saw a man wearing a full set of silver armor, clapping his hands and holding his chest with both hands.
"Hello everyone, there are some new faces, I will introduce myself once again here, I am the deputy head of the Lower Knights, Gulha." Gulha's eyes scorched around her, "Today's call is not for anything else, but for the future, as far as everyone knows, two weeks ago, the Demon Beast launched a large-scale offensive against this Yeovil City......"
Gulha succinctly recounted what had happened in the previous two weeks.
Xia Di and his party were shocked when they heard it.
Warcraft siege? What's that?
Obviously there are barbarians and rebels, and now there are enemies of the third force?
"Because we signed a treaty with the rebels about a week ago, we were betrayed, and even the supply base of Bath was lost ......"
However, the reason for calling so many mercenaries over is almost understandable, simply put, there are too many soldiers who have lost so much in the war, there is a shortage of personnel, and the palace does not send reinforcements, so they can only use military funds to hire people, and ask mercenaries to join as foreign aid.
"That's pretty much it!"
Xia Di looked in the direction of the sound source, and saw a man with hanging eyes on his feet on the table, and said with a great look: "I don't care if you betrayed the rebels or the rebels attacked you, if you have a task, hurry up." ā
"yes, our time is precious." A short bald man next to him chimed in.
It seems to be a member of a mercenary group.
"But if the situation is not clear......" Gulha frowned.
"Tell us there's a fart, you go and explain it to you people first." The man in the corner of his eyes sneered, "Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot that the credit on the king's side has been spent, I heard, you also want the rebels to give alms when you eat now?" Really? You don't have the money to pay us, do you? ā
Gulha's body trembled slightly, as if she was enduring anger,
"Of course there is, otherwise I wouldn't be here......"
"That's great, then you hurry up and get the topic forward, don't be a fool, people who talk a lot are like your destroyed troops, they won't live long......"
"Have you said enough?" An angry roar sounded in Xia Di's ears.
He looked to the side, only to see Kayilu standing up suddenly, pointing at the man in the corner of his eyes and saying, "You were the one who was chattering crookedly just now!" It's just that you stupid and forced to waste time all the time, and the topic can't go on! Don't you understand!? ā
"Which mercenary group are you from, dare to speak to me like that!" The man in the corner of the hanging eye kicked the table away with his heel, glared at her viciously and said, "Woman, are you looking for death!" ā
"You stupid, stupid, stupid, I promise you won't live for three minutes!"
"Damn, this chick is looking for a fight!" The man stood up with his team.
Xia Di on the side had an urge to vomit blood, although he couldn't see this hanging eye man, but it was really not a good way to quarrel at this time, whether it was winning or losing, there was a feeling that he couldn't stay in the city for a long time, because he was in trouble,
He had just tried to get up and persuade Kayilu.
I saw Barlow and his party next to him stand up, "Oh, hey, isn't this the head of Zuo Shilun, he didn't ask our opinions, he just did it, it's not good." ā
"Ask you? Is she from your mercenary group? The man at the corner of his eyes spat out, "Barlow, don't think that you can walk sideways if you are a third-order magician, we have many more people here than you......"
"Enough!"
The sound of something hitting the floor.
At some point, Gulha drew her sword and nailed it to the ground.
"Don't put your extra energy on unnecessary quarrels! Our enemies can be barbarians, monsters, rebels, but not allies! ā
"Huh? Who's a companion with those guys......"
"I'm sorry about the explanation, but it's my fault that I didn't leave out the extra parts appropriately, so please leave it at that."
Gulha bowed her head slightly.
The people present felt a silence, they didn't expect the deputy head of the dignified knights to bow their heads to a few nameless mercenaries, which was really rare.
Although the guy named Zuo Shilun was obviously not a good thing, he had no choice but to pull down his face when he saw this scene.
"Hmph, go ahead." He sat down in his chair again.
The people present, except for the waiter and Gulha, all sat back in their chairs.
If you don't give face at this time, it's not strange to be besieged.
"Hmph." Kayilu glared at Zuo Shilun dissatisfiedly and turned his head away.
Don't get into trouble, Miss.
Xia Di sighed inwardly.
"Our commission is divided into two parts." Gulha withdrew the sword from its scabbard, "The first part, according to what I just said, we are now short of food, originally Yeovil's rations were basically through trade in the surrounding areas, and a few were grown by themselves, and now, when the surrounding areas are occupied, we can only use the food hoarded in the city to live, but this also ended yesterday, and there is nothing left in this city except the granaries of the residents themselves......"
