Chapter 136: A New Badge
"It's so dark, a badge actually charges a gold coin customization fee, and the mercenary union will make a lot of money just for this one, right?" On the way back, Doudou said indignantly.
An Xu said with a smile: "The expenses for them to hire staff and maintain the venue are also an astronomical amount, and these money must be borne by the mercenaries, if it is just a hard loss, then the union will definitely not be able to sustain for a long time, if the mercenaries can get better protection and services, then it is worth paying some money." ”
"By the way, I see that you are in such a hurry, are you ready to take on the task?"
An Xu nodded: "I thought about it for a while, instead of being afraid to defend passively here, it is better to be more proactive, we can find the nearest fortress, we can hone ourselves, earn rewards, and at the same time be able to understand the situation of the war at the first time, whether to advance or retreat at that time, we can all prepare in advance." But this is just a temporary idea, let's discuss it again when we go back, it happens that there are two days to prepare before we get the badge. ”
An Xu has already seen that the bounty task released by the Huiye royal family requires a team of more than two stars to be eligible to receive it, which contains a lot of important information.
Since the mercenary guild has set the difficulty of this task at two stars, it means that they have conducted actual investigations through their own intelligence networks and judged that the strength of those barbarian squads is almost equal to that of two-star teams.
And the lowest-level one-star team, rushing forward is to die in vain, and this restriction can be regarded as the protection of mercenaries, so as to prevent those mercenaries who don't know much from being too inflated to take on tasks that cannot be completed.
This is a very practical improvement, in the past, when choosing tasks, Anxu always had to judge by himself, and often received some tasks that were not suitable for him.
Either the task is too simple, the profit is pitiful, and a lot of time is wasted; Either the task is too difficult, and if you are not careful, you will even be in danger of your life, and you will not be able to complete it yourself, and occupying the quota will also delay those mercenaries who have the ability to complete it.
It's good now, the mercenary union's huge intelligence network will classify these tasks, and An Xu only needs to pick those tasks with a three-star difficulty in the future.
Two days passed in a flash, everyone knew that the big battle was coming, silently familiar with the changes in the body after the promotion, An Xu also used this time to earn three skill points again, the phantom light swordsmanship has begun to bear fruit, and it can be initially used in actual battles.
In addition, An Xu also used one of the skill points on 'War Roar', adding a killer move to himself.
On this day, An Xu finally received a customized team badge, which is delicate and small, dark silver throughout, and has a small pin on the back, which can be worn anywhere in the clothes.
The staff advised: "The badge is your identity credential, please be sure to keep it properly, at present, these badges are only activated seven, corresponding to your respective identity information, if there is a new member joining, be sure to let him carry the badge to the local mercenary hall to activate the badge, otherwise you will not be able to enjoy some services." ”
"Okay, I remember, I'm sorry for you!" An Xu kept it in mind, and then looked at the badge that belonged to him in his hand, he thought it was just an ordinary metal piece, it seems that there are complex functions in it, I don't know what kind of structure it is, it can actually identify specific personal information, and there are anti-counterfeiting functions.
There is another person in the team who is more interested than An Xu, and that is Noel, in order to understand the internal structure of the badge, he is eager to remove the badge on the spot.
After receiving the badge, An Xu and the others went to another room where the handover procedures were handled, and asked about assisting the battlefield.
"This map marks the fortresses that are currently fighting with the barbarian army, and you are a three-star clan, so I suggest you go to these places, which are more suitable for you!"
The staff pointed out several fortresses on the map, and then continued: "After choosing the fortress you want to go to, you can go directly to the nearest local city, where the mercenary hall will give you a certificate, and with this certificate, you can enter the fortress, and the person in charge will assign you detailed tasks. ”
'How careful! An Xu praised in his heart, this map is too detailed, An Xu can even see the current situation of the war from above, the movements of the main forces of the two sides are also in it, and there are still many traces of changes on the map, obviously the mercenary union is constantly revising the map with the actual changes.
An Xu suddenly remembered a serious problem, the mercenary union does not serve any country, it is a worldwide organization, this time it is a war between Huiye and Qianze, and the barbarians do not have a mercenary organization, so the mercenaries are currently faintly towards Huiye, which is also normal.
But what if two human kingdoms are at war, if two countries post bounties in the mercenary hall at the same time, then won't the mercenaries in the two places fight each other?
And the mercenary union is so large now, if it can maintain absolute neutrality, then don't worry, if it favors one of the sides, it will be a terrible thing.
The more I thought about these questions, the more frightening they became, An Xu never imagined that one day mercenaries would occupy such a high weight in the world pattern.
Doudou and the others on the side didn't think so far away, they were seriously discussing which fortress to go to, the closest to Hidden Moon City was the Silver Ridge Fortress in the northwest, about a day and a half away from Hidden Moon City, and it was also the place where the barbarian army attacked the most.
Judging from the map, this fortress is the last line of defense of Hidden Moon City, and once it is broken, the barbarian army can invade this area of Hidden Moon City.
"Let's go here, we can't leave the stronghold too far, if the battle changes, we can also go home and evacuate as soon as possible!" An Xu made the final decision.
The closest to the Yinling Fortress is Heyuan City, which can be regarded as a small city, and there are more than a day of tutorials, An Xu and they are ready to go home first and make all preparations, and set off early the next morning.
When he returned to the stronghold, he found several mercenaries waiting at the door, all of whom had come to join the team.
An Xu didn't think it was strange, in fact, there were more and more mercenaries who came to inquire about joining in the past few days, but none of them could meet An Xu's requirements.
Since the change of the mercenary hall, these scattered mercenaries have become more and more aware of the importance of joining the mercenary team, and many mercenaries who used to like to work alone have begun to look for a suitable mercenary organization.
It's just that most of these mercenaries have the idea of fishing in troubled waters, and they can't reach the two-star level required by An Xu at all, and they don't have any eye-catching skills, just to try their luck.
But An Xu's eyes are so vicious now, whether they meet the specific requirements or not, they can't hide his eyes at all.
Adhering to the principle of preferring lack to abundance, An Xu sternly rejected anything that did not meet the requirements.
An Xu asked Doudou and them to go down to prepare first, and then tested these new mercenaries, and sure enough, most of them were one-star mercenaries, and only one archer was left by him.
This archer was very unique, and the huge iron bow on his back was very eye-catching, he was about twenty-five or six years old, and had short blond hair about the same size as Lena, probably from Lena's hometown.
Of course, what An Xu cares about the most is the strength of this archer, after some temptation, it has faintly reached the level of three stars, generally speaking, a profession like an archer, it is easy to ignore their own training, and there are definitely not many people who can hone their strength to this extent.
An Xu immediately became interested, and prepared to keep the archer.
After inquiry, An Xu learned that this person's name was Ivan, a casual mercenary who had traveled all over the world, and with his strength, he could live alone, but the mercenary hall changed, and it was difficult for the casual mercenary to receive high-level tasks, which made Ivan a little depressed.
There was no way, and Ivan had no choice but to make a compromise.
Of course, with his strength, the low-level team couldn't look down on him, and after some inquiry, he knew that An Xu's three-star team was recruiting, so he came to the door.
