Chapter 51: I'm Going to Take the Mandate Too

Worsening of the situation?

That is, there is not enough food?

No wonder the city is lifeless. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"The only way to get supplies is in the port south of the city, where the Thames River is well known to the Britons, and there are often merchant ships in the harbor where supplies can be procured, but as soon as the grain trucks sent out of the city will be targeted by the barbarians, and when they go to buy food and come back, they will often be plundered, so I need some of you to protect the grain trucks, avoid the enemy, and bring the food back."

"For every grain cart we bring back, we will be paid 1 gold coin. For every 10 cars we bring back, we will be rewarded with 12 gold coins, and this time we will send a total of 30 vehicles. "Who wants to take on this task?" ”

Several representatives of the mercenary group present raised their hands in unison.

"Huh." Xia Di screamed in confusion.

Do you sign up first instead of talking about the commission for the second part?

"First come, first served, rules between mercenary groups." Barlow noted Xia Di's questioning gaze and explained.

"Okay, then you'll have to go and register." Gulha nodded, "Next, let's talk about the second part of the mission, which is more special. It is a commission about the investigation of Warcraft. As I said just now, Yeovil City has faced several crises of Warcraft siege in the past two weeks, although at present, because of the rebels to deal with it, Warcraft has not appeared for the time being, but it is still a potential crisis that cannot be ignored, so we want to send you to investigate, because the location of Warcraft appears, in the northwest, and the location where the rebels are stationed is in the same direction, so there is considerable danger. ”

Gulha took a breath and stared at the mercenary below with serious eyes.

"Here, I would like to remind the mercenary group who intend to receive this mission, please do not take this mission lightly, this mission is not the first time it has been released, to be precise, it has failed twice."

The surroundings suddenly became quiet.

Many had some subtle expressions.

Instead of asking for a direct attack on the rebels, it was just an investigation mission that failed twice in a row?

"I'm sorry, but shouldn't the investigation work be entrusted to adventurers or scholars?" The man next to Barlow, a mercenary named Donk, raised his hand and said, "Our mercenary's duty is to fight, and the task is too complicated for us to be up to." ”

"I see." Gulha let out an "oh", as if she understood something: "I think you have misunderstood, and I don't mean that I can't investigate the cause, but that the investigation itself has failed." ”

"What?"

"As I said, I failed twice, right? In fact, the first time we sent the garrison of Yeovil City to carry it out, and the second time we hired mercenaries. ”

Hearing this, Xia Di suddenly thought of something.

Speaking of which, Kayilu said just now that the soldiers who were originally guarding the gate came to manage the security, right?

Managing law and order was originally the job of the garrison, that is to say, ......?

"For the first time, we sent a garrison of nearly twenty people, but none of them came back alive." Gulha said lightly: "The second time the situation was slightly better, but only one of the ten mercenaries was able to return seriously injured." According to those who returned, they followed the footprints of the monster and were inexplicably attacked before they reached the end. Something has eaten the leader's head. He came back alive alone. ”

What is ...... What the?

Three days later, the mercenary died of illness. No one knows what happened now, and I repeat that I ask you not to take this task lightly. And, regardless of the outcome of the investigation, as long as the person who can complete the investigation and come back alive, we will give a reward of no less than 20 gold coins. ”

20 gold coins?

Most of the mercenaries present widened their eyes.

Even Xia Di had to admire the heroism of the king's army.

20 gold coins is equivalent to Erin's tuition fees for two years at the Royal Capital Academy of Magic, and the income of ordinary mercenaries for five years.

Can you get it by completing an order?

"Finally, it doesn't matter if anyone picks up this quest or not, but there's an additional commission that you should definitely consider."

Gulha bit her lip and said slowly.

"In a few days, we will launch the largest counteroffensive ever against the barbarians who attacked our great motherland!" Gulha raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a determined look like a sharp blade, "Please be sure to help." ”

The mercenary group present looked at him silently.

Everyone's face was filled with incomprehension.

Total attack?

Is your brain still clear?

If you are still alive because you are holding on to the city, you can take the initiative to attack the enemy, can you win?

"I'm sorry, can you ask how much you get paid?" One of the people in the room asked.

"Well, by the way, what are the chances of winning this war?" Another asked.

Gulha shook her head, a little sad.

"It's a pity that after this time, the King's Army has no extra money to pay you, and we can't guarantee what you are asking for now."

"As for the odds of winning, I have to admit that this is quite low, I'm afraid it's not even forty percent."

"If you want a knighthood, I don't recommend you to join, if you want money, I will try my best to help you ask the court in the name of the lower knights, as long as you can survive."

"The only thing I can promise to give you here is two things, one is the honor of chivalry, and the other is the protection of the lives of the civilians."

The mercenary group still didn't say anything.

It's just that many people's eyes have become quite cold.

It's almost the exit of the street.

"Not paid?" Zuo Shilun, the man who was quiet just now, couldn't help but laugh, "Are you supposed to talk to the mercenary group?" ”

"Yes." Gulha nodded, "I'm begging you for help." ”

"Ridiculous...... Zuo Shilun said with a pitiful face, "Okay, is there anything else to say?" If not, hurry up and ask the team that wants to accept the Warcraft investigation mission, and there are still procedures to be completed......"

"Time is precious." Donk sighed, "Now let's get down to business." ”

The people of the mercenary group were urging impatiently, and some of them were already discussing how to spend money after completing the commission.

Xia Di frowned, and even wanted to spit a little.

To be honest, he didn't like the current atmosphere very much, but he knew how helpless and even stupid the knight's actions in front of him were, so he couldn't say a word of comfort or rebuke.

The task of Warcraft investigation has aroused the interest of some mercenary groups, so there are also mercenary groups trying to pull partners.

For example, Barlow in front of him.

"By the way, do you want to try to get the commission of the Warcraft investigation?" Barlow looked at Xia Di and his group, and invited with a smile: "If you lack a leader, how about joining our mercenary team?" We are experiencers. ”

Experienced?

Xia Di was puzzled: "You often accept this kind of commission? ”

"Not really." Barlow touched his nose, "However, our Blade Mercenary Regiment was stationed in this town a month ago. During this period, I also did reconnaissance, remnant sweeps, escorts and other commissions, which is definitely suitable for leading a good team. ”

A month ago?

"You ...... Came so early? ”

"Of course, we learned about the tragic battle situation of the King's army, and we rushed here to wait for the commission."

I see.

Is this what a warmonger is called?

Xia Di thought silently.

"No need ......"

At this time, a cold voice came from Xia Di's ear.

The voice was so cold that even Barlow couldn't help but tremble.

The crowd turned their heads away in surprise.

I saw the green-haired girl slap the table and stood up: "Come, first of all, the counterattack mission just now!" Count me in! You garbage don't take it, I'll pick it up! ”
