48. The Marquis's Request!
After a few months of travel, Ye Qing and the others finally returned to Koma City of the Agoulas Empire, and as usual, when passing through the Goblin Empire, they did not encounter the slightest twist and turn, and returned to the Agoulas Empire very calmly.
At this moment, Koma City, the security is still very strict, without exception, Yeqing and others were interrogated when they entered the city, without exception, when Yeqing reported his identity, these people were respectfully released again, after all, this is the real leader of the Apocalypse Mercenary Group in front of him!
At this moment, the Apocalypse Mercenary Group is no longer an ordinary mercenary group, after General Karakasen and a group of powerful magician warriors joined, it already has the strength to resist the Gucang Mercenary Group, and has the reputation of being one of the most powerful mercenary groups in Koma City.
And what made Yeqing even more confused was that although the Agoulas Empire and the Bytine Empire were in a state of confrontation at this moment, and the fierce war had just ended. But the faces of the people in the Agoulas Empire were full of confidence at the moment, which made the Yeqing people feel a little inexplicable.
As usual, the bluestone slabs on the streets of Koma City are still smooth and clean, and among the taverns on both sides of the street, mercenary groups and adventure groups are still bustling and lively, perhaps because the city lord Marquis Leonard is well managed.
Of course, due to its location near the Jiaoxi Forest, there are many magical beasts, and there are countless rare plants of all kinds, which also makes the Agoulas Empire Mercenaries and Adventurers Guild established here, thanks to the existence of this guild, it has also made the city a lot more prosperous, perhaps the Jiaoxi Forest and this guild are the foundation of the city's prosperity.
Ye Qing and the others soon came to a super-large courtyard rented by the Apocalypse Mercenary Group at this moment, and met Christian and the others.
"Commander!!" "Commander!"
Voices rang out one after another, and what was even more surprising was that Yeqing suddenly saw General Karakasen, whom he hadn't seen for several years!
"Your Highness Night!" Karakasen was a little incoherent with excitement, and there was a faint wetness in his eyes.
"Uncle Karakason, you... It's okay, it's okay!" Looking at General Karakasen, after a thousand words came to his lips, there was still only one sentence left, and Yeqing said with a trace of tears in the corner of his eyes.
After a long time, after Ye Qing's mind adjusted, he asked, "Uncle Karakasen, have you gathered all the subordinates left by my father after leaving last time?"
"Yes, Your Highness, your mercenary group is quite strong at this moment! Huh, Your Highness, you, you, alas, are really geniuses of the Heavenly Circle!" Karakasen replied with some surprise, he didn't expect that His Highness Night's cultivation at the moment was on par with him! This shocked him!
Also after hearing General Carakason's words, the cronies who originally belonged to General Carakasen, Christian, Barker, Rodnier, and Alec were dumbfounded, how long has it been!
If it weren't for the return of General Karakasen this time, and if he gave them a word or two, several people would have reached the level of a great war master or a great magician, but I am afraid that they would still be stuck in the level of a war master. Of course, the most talented of these people, Critian, lived up to expectations and successfully reached the king of war, which can be regarded as stepping into the ranks of the strong.
It's just that if you compare it with Yeqing and a few people around him, it's really not enough.
"Good luck!" Yeqing said with a wave of his hand.
After seeing Yeqing skipping this topic so lightly, Christian suddenly remembered something and hesitated: "Commander, well... Marquis Leonard, the lord of Koma City, has invited you several times, but he didn't tell me what it was, so I just said that the head of the regiment has not returned yet, and they have taken their leave, and now that you have just returned, presumably, they should have also received the news!"
After all, Christian is the actual head of the Apocalypse Mercenary Group and the deputy leader of this mercenary group, so it is not surprising that the city lord looked for the whereabouts of their leader Yeqing from him in the first place.
"Oh?! there is still such a thing, after all, this marquis is also the city lord of Koma City, and we will inevitably bother him if we leave here, in that case, when he comes to invite me next time, I will go and meet the marquis!" Ye Qing was surprised in his heart, and he couldn't guess what this marquis was looking for him.
Suddenly, Ye Qing thought about it, and after seeing the piety and self-confidence of the group of people and the priests in the city starting to increase, he asked, "Could it be that the Empire of Oghuras has won a battle?"
"Oh, Commander, you mean this, I know, I..." Alec originally volunteered to speak, but was suddenly silenced when General Karakasen glanced at him.
"Okay, Uncle Karakason! This is not Yinjisi, and I am not His Royal Highness the Prince, I am just the head of the regiment, and there are not so many rules! Alec, you say it!" Yeqing couldn't help but laugh.
"That's... I said?" Seeing that no one objected, after Yeqing gave him an encouraging look, Alec suddenly became bold and said: "That's the case, after the divine revelation of the Agogoras Empire last time, I heard that an angel appeared!! the entire Agoralas Empire saw !!the holy light!
"There is such a thing!! Ye Qing was surprised, he couldn't imagine that this kind of thing would happen in the Agoulas Empire, he was silent for a long time, thought a lot, and immediately decided: "Then we have to leave here quickly, it seems that this short peace will not last long, if you can't leave now, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to leave here then!"
"Yes, Your Highness is right, we need to get out of here as soon as possible!" said General Karakasen.
"Uncle Carson, call me Yeqing!"
"Thisโ" General Karakasen hesitated for a moment.
"Otherwise, my identity will be revealed and cause unnecessary trouble!" Ye Qing explained.
"Yes, Commander!"
At this time, it began to rain faintly in Koma City, and gradually the rain began to increase a little, and the sky was overcast, enveloping the entire Koma City!
Four gorgeously dressed swordsmen hid under the eaves of a certain shop, and a luxurious carriage that was originally pulled by these people also stopped, these people were just gorgeously dressed, but they did not wear battle armor, but only hung a short sword, but the logo on the back of the clothes could clearly show the surface, these four people were the cronies of the city lord Marquis Leonard, looking at the rain falling in the sky...
"Captain, the guard said that the leader of the Apocalypse Mercenary Regiment is back! Then if we go directly now, will we have a closed door? After all, the leader of the mercenary group has only been back for a short time, and there are many things to deal with!" a thin soldier was a little worried.
"Probably not! Anyway, Marquis Leonard is also the lord of Komar City, and their Apocalypse Mercenary Group will still give a little thin noodles! Also, we have been staying for half a day, I think at this moment, even if the regiment leader has a very important matter, eighty percent of it will be dealt with!" The swordsman who was faintly led among these people explained, and his eyes continued to watch the rainwater flowing down the eaves in front of him along the bluestone pavement all the way to the drain.
Gradually, the raindrops began to lighten, and the water droplets on the eaves, which could have been connected in a straight line, began to thin out.
"Alright, now we can go and invite the leader of the Apocalypse Mercenary Regiment!" said the brown-haired man at the head...
Just after Yeqing and the others finished talking about business, especially Anjia and the others joining the Apocalypse Mercenary Regiment, Christian Ke really startled him, and after Anjia and the others went to rest, a warrior in armor trotted and knocked on the door and entered the room where Yeqing and the others were.
"Commander, deputy commander, someone outside the door asks to see you!" said the armored warrior.
"Oh, who's going to see the captain?" asked Christian.
"Look at that sign, it should still be the city lord's person!" the young warrior thought for a moment and said directly.
"Okay, then let them in!" Yeqing said, after all, the one who should come always has to come.
"Yes, Commander!" the soldier immediately withdrew.
Not long after, four richly dressed swordsmen came to Yeqing and the others, and respectfully bowed to Yeqing.
"Say, what's the matter with me?" Ye Qing smiled, but with confusion in his eyes, he looked at the few people in front of him, quietly waiting for a few people to say something.
"Hello, Lord Leonard, the city lord, wants to invite you to go!" said the swordsman at the head of the group, respectfully.
"I think there is always some reason to go to your city lord's place!, otherwise, with the city lord being so busy, how could he have time to meet me as the leader of a mercenary group?" Ye Qing chuckled.
"This, the city lord specially explained, it is about hiring a noble mercenary group to exterminate a gang of thieves who are particularly active in the Jiaoxi Forest at the moment, so please go to the head of the group!" After the swordsman at the head finished speaking, his subordinates took out a large box and opened it directly, and suddenly Christian and the others' eyes lit up, and thousands of beginner and intermediate level magic cores were neatly placed in the box.
Although this material is not a large amount at all for Yeqing at this moment, it is better than nothing, but it can be described as a huge wealth for others, but at this moment Yeqing was a little confused and asked.
"Oh, doesn't the lord of the castle have the support of the army, why hire us?"
"That's right, due to the outbreak of war in the border area, the army that was originally subordinate to the city lord has been transferred at this moment, leaving only a few dozen cronies!" the swordsman said with a wry smile.
It is reasonable to be told by this swordsman, after Yeqing asked about the authenticity of the bandit gang active in the forest west of Cape Christian, and was affirmed by Christian.
"Okay, in that case, I'll go with you!" Ye Qing nodded, motioning for the other party to take him to the Koma City Lord's Mansion.
"Thank you very much, Commander Yeqing! The carriage has been prepared for you, please here!" The swordsman at the head made a gesture of please, and said gratefully.
