Chapter Forty-Eight: The Blood Pact
Duke Ashidon, who was in charge of Dean, was a notoriously tyrant, or rather, every generation of lords of the entire family of Assidon, who had never managed his domain well, and it was not surprising that they would revolt because of their tyrannical extortion and misery of the people.
What makes Mu Kai a little emotional is that he doesn't know how many innocent people will fall to the ground because of this.
Almost all of the mercenary regiments and adventurers who operated in Dean left, either to Strange Rock or Grudin, hired by the tyrant, they couldn't do anything about wielding a butcher's knife at the civilians, and they couldn't do it on the side of the rebels, against the lord's army, and openly rebelled.
For the time being, the aristocracy still has the power to rule, and although the foundation has long been shaken, it is difficult to reverse the class concept that has been formed over thousands of years.
The time is not yet ripe, but that day is not far off.
Mukai had never had the ambition to break the ground, but what role could a nobleman like Axiton play when darkness fell?
When passing by the warriors' union, Mu Kai turned straight in.
Yana and Sareen thought he wanted to go to the training ground to try out a new weapon, and they followed, but Mukai walked directly to the reception and chatted with the beautiful receptionist with big eyes.
Yana suddenly felt a nameless fire rise up, and was about to say a few sarcastic words, but noticed that Mu Kai's tone changed and began to ask about Dean.
The union has always been a window for the circulation and distribution of information, and in addition to the special communication channels between the local branches, the adventurers will also bring a lot of information.
Edith's information is basically the same as the adventurer's description, although the rebel army is quite numerous, but there are no powerful fighters, and the supplies can't keep up, and it is estimated that it will be suppressed soon.
The information is very sketchy, and if you think about it carefully, you can see a lot of things from it, the uprising seems to be hasty, triggered by the killing of a tax officer, but the response from all places is very timely, and the organization behind it is also very organized, unlike ordinary peasants can do it.
Mu Kai is sure that there must be a behind-the-scenes driving force behind this matter, but he can't be sure whether it is those mysterious "Celine's children" or the "Revolutionary Army of Twilight" who is hidden even deeper.
Whoever it is, sooner or later it will surface.
"Is there anything special going on between Ou Rui and Qiyan?"
"Something special? It doesn't seem to be, well, when I think about it, there's something new. ”
Edith stroked her bangs that covered her eyes, revealing her big watery eyes.
"In Ou Rui, I heard that there is an organization called the Blood Alliance, which is formed by the union of several small mercenary groups, managed by the army, and freer than the regular army, it is said that it will be promoted after a period of experimentation, Kai, why do you say such a strange organization appears? I've never had that before. ”
"To put it simply, the army is very weak now, and there are many places to fight, so we can only squeeze our mercenaries to the maximum."
Edith didn't seem to understand too much, and there was a look of confusion in her big eyes.
"Isn't that obvious?"
Yana spoke before Mu Kai, and although she said it lightly, there was obviously something specific in her tone.
"The so-called blood alliance is actually equivalent to a semi-professional soldier, the lords' army has been disabled, but the current situation has no time for them to recover their combat strength, let's just say here, the Ronk lizardmen have been testing Gurudin's reaction, and it is estimated that they will soon take advantage of the situation, as for the Turic orcs, they have already taken the first step, in this case, what will the nobles think? Why not just turn mercenaries into soldiers and work for them? ”
"But what's the benefit of that?"
Edith was still a little confused, in fact, Salene was about to ask like this, but Edith said it first.
Mu Kai smiled and didn't speak, he also wanted to know how much essential things Yana could see through this matter, to be honest, the half-elf in front of him had already given him a lot of surprises.
"If you want us mercenaries to sell their lives, of course, we have to come up with real benefits, the current kings are estimated to be tight, so they can only exchange other things, I guess, it should give the blood alliance some privileges that the mercenary group does not have, as for what it is, I'm just a mercenary, I don't understand those political things."
"Yana, you can see it very thoroughly, no matter what, the Blood Alliance will at least have a semi-official identity, and it will develop rapidly."
Mu Kai showed a look of approval on his face, among all the mercenaries and adventurers he met, Yana had the most keen reaction to the things around her, and her understanding was the deepest, and if she could stand a little higher, she would see even more.
By the time she came out of the Warriors' Guild, it was already dark and Edith had finished work.
Even at night, the streets did not become less crowded, and the village after the war burst out with unparalleled vitality.
The circulation of various goods and goods is accelerating to make up for the losses caused by the interruption of trade routes in the previous period, and the boom in commerce has brought a large number of job opportunities, and it is easy to find a job as long as you work hard.
Adventurers and mercenaries are also busy, and there are too many tasks to do to protect and deliver, and they can be seen shuttling through the streets and alleys everywhere.
"That's, it's the Blood Alliance, it sounds like a good thing, let's get one when the time comes, right?"
On the way back, Salene said suddenly.
"It's not an easy thing to conclude a blood alliance, you have to accumulate strength now, Salene, you have to work hard."
With the title of the land of mercenaries, the seeds of the Blood Alliance have begun to sprout in that land sprinkled with blood, and will soon bloom in the entire continent.
Looking at the crescent moon rising in the sky, Mu Kai quickened his pace.
Back at the hotel, continue to practice magic until midnight.
In the early morning of the next day, he went to the training ground to familiarize himself with the skills of the second sword, and after Ainu came, he taught a fighter the representative skill, the Battle Howl.
Battle Howl is not a sword to slash, but a special power burst technique that can greatly increase one's attack power in a short period of time, and there are almost no side effects, of course, this is normal, if used continuously, the body may be seriously damaged due to overload.
Depending on the skill mastery, the duration and the bonus to the attack are different, but the Eligibility Criteria given by Ainu is a duration of one minute and an attack bonus of 20%.
