Chapter 31: A New Commission
Time passed quietly, and on the day the crescent moon turned into a full moon, the news of the end of the war finally came.
As Mukai had said, the army of Glesia had carved through Grudin, traversed Dean, invaded the Rocky Territory from the southern foothills of the Horseshoe Mountains, and then rushed to the Cloister of Death, intending to block the only route south for the Aden army.
To Barris's surprise, at the entrance to the Death Corridor, he was greeted by the allied forces of Aden and Elmo.
Since the collapse of the Elmoadin Empire, which is known as the thousand-year-old dynasty, Aden in the south and Elmo in the north have been at war for hundreds of years in order to control the continent.
The battle of the Death Corridor was the decisive battle, and in this battle, the overwhelming Grecia was defeated, and Barris fled, leaving all the jackal mercenaries who remained behind in the continent of Aden.
The mighty Ojemav broke through the blockade of the Cloister of Death and headed for Orry and Aden, while the Jackal Legion retreated to Dean and took refuge in the reckless mountains of the Horseshoe Mountains, while some of the routed Jackal soldiers retreated all the way to Grudin, entrenched in the camp originally established by Barris.
With the strength of the coalition army, there is no possibility of the Jackal Legion escaping at all, and it is obvious that Elmo is dragging his feet in it, leaving the Jackal soldiers in Aden to make trouble, and consuming the strength of Aden is a very good result for Elmo.
"The war is over, and the war that belongs to us is about to begin!"
Rubbing his fingers against the old tabletop, Mu Kai said slowly: "Guruudin has been beaten into ruins, Kadamus has no ability to clean up the mess, and the gnolls entrenched in the abandoned camp have become Gurudin's henchmen, to eradicate this cancer, at this time, the only option is to use the power of our mercenaries." I think I'll see King Kademus' recruitment order on the bulletin board tomorrow morning. ”
"It's best to have a mission, the bones are about to rust during this time!"
Cloun twisted his neck, and his cervical vertebrae made a crunching "click, click, click".
There has not been a single mission since the expansion of the war, and he is the commander of the regiment for a long time.
"There won't be any other mercenary group coming to grab the mission, right? The war is over, and the big mercenary groups are free. ”
The scale of the war has become larger and more formal, and even the goths have begun to worry about the affairs of the mercenary group.
"Don't worry about this, at present, the only one who has the ability to complete this commission is the village of Gurudin." Mu Kai said lightly.
Seeing that Goth still looked puzzled, Yana coughed lightly and said unceremoniously: "It seems that you are used to living a stable life here, so you forgot how cruel the battle outside was, how many people were lost in the battle of Gruudin City and Laustern?" Even if it's a big mercenary group, do you think they can still withstand the toss? ”
"I'm talking about mercenary groups from other places, and I didn't say it must be Gurudin's!" Goth argued unconvinced.
This woman has been in the limelight recently, and Goth, as an old member of the war mercenary group, has a little bit of a bad feeling in her heart.
"Hah! Are you still motivated? ”
Yana knocked on the table and said, "The large army of the gnolls has retreated to the territory of Dean, and those who have participated in the Battle of the Strange Rock, if they still have the strength, the first thing they will face is Dean's problem!" ”
The pungent female mercenary has a strong personality, but she still has an eye for the problem, Kai Zhe nodded, and said: "The jackal army hiding in the Horseshoe Mountains is a hard bone, and before recovering its vitality, I don't think that mercenary group will touch that trouble for the time being." ”
"The jackal soldiers entrenched in the camp are not easy to deal with!"
Yari said with some concern: "At least, with our current strength, it is far from enough. ”
"It's a different story now, Ari."
Mu Kai glanced at the members present and said, "We don't want to fight those jackals to the death, now the initiative is in our hands, even if we do some sneak attacks every day, we can spend a little more time to slowly wear them down!" In addition, it is also possible to join forces with other mercenaries and adventurers. Therefore, we must prepare early and seize the opportunity! ”
Arriru pondered, and said in a deep voice: "If you form an alliance, it shouldn't be difficult to solve the problem of the gnolls, and if we can't handle the war, it will be even more impossible for other small mercenary groups." ”
"I can find out the news of this matter first!"
Crawn said with some pride: "I'm familiar with all the large and small mercenary groups here, don't think that I went to the tavern for fun!" ”
"It's for the best."
Mukai nodded to Clown, dragging his chair away and standing up.
"Let's get ready!"
After so many days of recuperating in the village of Gurudin, now that the mission is coming, the morale of the mercenaries is high, the order is transmitted, and all the members are in a hurry to start preparing for the mission.
Mukai explained the situation to Parina, and the magic class had to be temporarily suspended, but Parina selected several magic books for him and told him to study them when he had time.
As she was leaving, the female mage took out another scroll from the cabinet and handed it to Mu Kai.
"If you encounter a crisis that you can't handle, use this scroll immediately!"
This is a blessed return scroll that instantly activates a teleportation circle that teleports the wielder to the nearest village or town, a precious item that can save one's life at a critical moment.
Ordinary magic scrolls are often out of stock, and the price is very high, and this one in Mu Kai's hand is not something that can be bought with gold coins at all, even inside the ivory tower, it is a very rare magic item.
The next day, a notice was posted on the bulletin board to eliminate the gnolls, and the circle of adventurers was suddenly boiling, and the adventurers and mercenaries who had been silent for a long time became active again, gathering their team members one after another, repairing weapons and equipment, and buying various consumables.
The Chamber of Commerce followed suit, and in order to restore trade that had been interrupted by the war, they began to organize caravans and recruit a large number of escorts.
After the war, the village of Gurudin suddenly became lively and burst into a vibrant atmosphere.
In the midst of the hustle and bustle, the war mercenary group, which had long been ready to go, had already embarked on its own journey.
Before clearing the gnolls, they first had to escort a dwarven caravan to the city of Grudin, which was a incidental task that did not conflict with their plans, and the commission was very substantial, which the dwarves rarely had to be so generous.
This war also had a big impact on the Dwarven Chamber of Commerce, because of the interruption of transportation, the Golden Wheel Guild, which was based on transportation, suffered a heavy blow to its business in Gurudin, and faced a huge amount of liquidated damages.
The Steelgate Union's warehouse business has also been affected, with more complaints from customers than in the last 100 years combined, and the credit system is seriously threatened.
Therefore, as soon as the war ended, the Dwarven Chamber of Commerce urgently needed to resume trade, and in the entire Guruding Village, only the war mercenary team was the strongest, and most importantly, they were ready to go to war.
