Chapter 21: Reviving the Fire

Bush Manor is 50 kilometers away from Carter City, the north of the manor is a primeval forest, connected with the famous Downps Mountains in the north, the entire manor covers an area of more than 200 square kilometers, there are more than 100 immediate family members in the peak of the family, more than 300 servants, 5,000 slaves, and more than 1,000 guards.

The gate of the manor was rusty, the welcome road in the middle was overgrown with weeds, the castle-like building was in a dilapidated state, and the living room and bedroom in the castle had been looted. More than a dozen old servants grow some food and vegetables in the back garden to maintain their daily life. I rode a horse to look at the land belonging to the manor, and under the explanation of old George, I learned that several nearby villages were deserted due to robbers and bandits, and only the fields overgrown with weeds remained.

"Good place, I need a place like this." I was overjoyed.

Eventually, I bought the manor, hired the old butler George, and fifteen old servants, and told them to live in the city for more than a month, and I told them to rebuild the manor. After that, I asked the Kazakh to lead the way to the headquarters of the Flame Mercenary Regiment in the west of Carter City.

To the west of the city were slums, and the dilapidated thatched houses shivered in the cold wind, and at the end of an alley, they found their current station. When the Kazakh entered the door, he shouted loudly: "Commander, we have guests!" ”

After a while, a middle-aged man with two crutches on his arms walked up to me, nodded and said, "My lord, thank you for your help to our Agni Fire Mercenary Regiment, I am the head of the regiment Lie Lei, and he is my younger brother Lie Dong." ”

I stepped forward and shook the hands of the two, and took advantage of the situation to let Bei Bei check the physical condition of the two, and I said, "Jiuyang Daimyo, your health is not very good, take me to see the other injured brothers immediately." ”

The two brothers were stunned, but immediately reacted and asked Kazakh to take me there. In a hut, there were seventeen men lying horizontally and vertically, wrapped in strips of cloth, and the hut was full of peculiar smells.

I slowly raised my head, with a serious expression, and said to the head of the regiment next to me: "Commander Lielei, your health is very bad, if you don't get good treatment, within three months, you will become a waste." Tell us about the cause of your injuries and the causes and consequences. ”

Although they didn't know anything about me as an uninvited guest, they had an intuition after seeing me and told them that the brothers were saved, so they told a bitter story: Lie Lei and Lie Dong were orphans, and they learned martial arts by chance, and then became a mercenary, and when Lie Lei was thirty years old, he established the Agni Mercenary Group, and after five years of hard work, they had a certain reputation in the mercenary world, and the maximum number of personnel reached 2,000. Due to the two brothers' straightforward personalities, they offended many nobles, one of whom was the nephew of the city lord of Carter City, so they were trapped, and they were attacked by robbers when delivering goods, and suffered heavy losses, all the goods were robbed, and dozens of their core characters were poisoned and lost their resistance after being poisoned, and watched half of the brothers die tragically, and finally fled back to Carter City under the desperate protection of the brothers, and after compensating for the loss of goods, the Agni Mercenary Group became nothing.

The surviving members of the Agni Mercenary Regiment joined the mercenary group in other cities under the persuasion of the regiment leader, the injured ones recuperated in Carter City, and some members of the team who recovered quickly went to take on some tasks to maintain daily expenses.

"Leader Thunder, if your body recovers, what are your plans?" I asked.

"My lord, I want revenge, even if I die, I will seek justice for my dead brother."

"Revenge, I will give you this opportunity, but you must cure the disease first, tomorrow I will bring a doctor to treat you, from now on, stop the medicine, you can't eat any food except drinking water, until I come." I said and asked the team members around me to bring a bag of gold coins, "This thousand gold coins will first let the family members improve their food and buy some new clothes and daily necessities." ”

I patted them on the shoulder as I left: "Remember, everything will be fine." ”

······

That night, the bandits' den near Carter City was swept away by mysterious forces, and no one escaped punishment, and thieves broke into the homes of the nobles in the city. The next day, I arrived at the Agni Mercenary Corps' station, and the accompanying doctors began to treat me, and after most of the day, the Lielei brothers knelt in front of me with seventeen members of the team who had recovered from their injuries and other team members.

"My lord, from now on, you are our master, and all the people of the Agni Mercenary Regiment will be your servants from now on."

"Okay, everybody, get up." I have long known some of the customs of this continent, so I acquiesced in their behavior.

After everyone got up, let the wounded and sick team members go to rest first, I let the head of the Lie Lei Regiment stay alone, and said: "Within a month, you recover from your injuries, don't be in a hurry to take revenge, I will give you 10,000 gold coins and 100,000 silver coins, send people to recall those trustworthy team members, arrange family members, and when my manor is built, everyone will move over, and the poor people in the west of the city can come with you if they want to go." ”

"My lord, I listen to you, ······"
