Chapter 267: Mercenaries and War
Just looking at the face, it is undeniable that Mei Mei An is a very standard beauty, but if you want to match the majestic body, it seems that it has nothing to do with the beauty, Zhu Wen is used to looking at the legs first when looking at women, he likes the flawless slender legs of white jade, followed by the chest, and the face again, when he saw Mei Mei An for the first time, he was really shocked, there is no muscular woman on the earth, but there is definitely no such a big body, at least Zhu Wen has not seen it, the majestic body of more than two meters high gave Zhu Wen a lot of impact, Zhu Wen needed to look up to see Mei Mei'an's beautiful face, and besides, this woman was still looking at Zhu Wen with fierce eyes, and Zhu Wen felt uncomfortable. Dream Novels.
Because a moment ago, Douglas announced that he would give Zhu Wen the position of deputy head of the heavy armor mercenary group, so the mercenaries who were originally very friendly to Zhu Wen scattered in an uproar, leaving only Zhu Wen, who didn't understand the situation, Mei Mei'an, who was angry, and Dougla, who was a little helpless.
"This little white face is what you call Richard? Why did she snatch the position of the old lady as soon as she came? The old lady was not convinced. "As always, she is fierce, if it weren't for Douglas to stop her, Meimei might have done something to Zhu Wen, Zhu Wen suddenly realized, it turns out that this terrifying tyrannosaurus girl is the deputy head of the heavy armored mercenary group, and she looks very prestigious, no wonder......
Douglas pulled Meimei away a little, and began to explain in a low voice, it can be seen that Douglas, who is majestic outside, still can't put this woman on the table, before coming Gu Muqiu tactfully said that the mercenary group is not peaceful, and there seem to be some ambiguous relationships with people who Douglas can't handle, Zhu Wenwen wanted to ask, but Gu Muqiu's words were glared back by Douglas's eyes, and now it seems that it is this humanoid female tyrannosaurus.
"What's that...... I don't deserve to be the deputy head or something, just be an ordinary mercenary......"
"Little white face, do you look down on me? The position of this deputy head was originally the old lady's, but now if you want it, you don't want it if you don't want it, what do you think of the old lady? The little white face has the ability to come out, and the old lady wants to teach you a good lesson. β
Zhu Wenwen, who had not completely woken up from the wine, wanted to excuse himself, it didn't matter if he wanted this position or not, he estimated that he would not be able to stay in the heavy armor mercenary group for too long. Unexpectedly, one sentence provoked Mei Mei'an's greater anger, and she had to try it with Zhu Wen, and it seemed that she couldn't relieve her anger if she didn't beat Zhu Wen up. But in the end, he was dissuaded by Douglas, Douglas pulled Mei Mei Ann into the corner and talked for a long time, Mei Mei An looked angry, but in the end, I didn't know what to say to Mei Mei, Mei Mei An's anger disappeared all of a sudden. Covering his face and running away.
That's right, a woman with a more spectacular figure than a bodybuilding champion squirmed and ran away, and it was very visually striking to think about.
Many young mercenaries ran to Dougla's side and slapped him wildly, as if convincing the American of something great, and Douglas also showed a smug smile. He coughed lightly, and it looked very majestic.
Now that he has taken care of Meimeian, Zhu Wen no longer shirked, and officially became a mercenary, the deputy head of the heavy armor mercenary group, went to the mercenary union, Zhu Wen registered as the lowest-level mercenary, Zhu Wen's declared strength is the seventh level high, and his brute force strength is about the seventh level intermediate level. In addition to the strength of the antiquities outside the fist. When he released his momentum, he barely reached the seventh-level high-level Cheng DΓΉ, and as for his true strength, it was far more than that.
After initial contact, Zhu Wen also had a simple understanding of the heavy armor mercenary group, which has two powerhouses with eighth-level strength, namely the eighth-level beginner Douglas and the eighth-level intermediate Meimeian. There are three seventh-level powerhouses, and they are all ranked number one in Wind and Sand City. There are about ten of them at the sixth level, and the weakest one is the third-level beginner strength mercenary. It is also the largest number.
Wind and Sand City can be regarded as a big city in the entire Dow Jones Empire, and the strength of the heavy armor mercenary group is not the strongest in Wind and Sand City, but it can also be ranked in the top few, and the heavy armor mercenary group is different from other mercenary groups, other mercenary groups can join the mercenary group as long as you have a certain strength, so the number of mercenaries in many mercenary groups is huge.
The number of the largest mercenary group in Wind and Sand City has approached three thousand, named the Yaoshi Mercenary Group, its leader already has the strength of the eighth-level high-level, and also gave birth to the Heavenly Mandate Combat Technique, the strength is comparable to the ordinary ninth-level powerhouse, Fengsha City is the base camp of the Yaoshi Mercenary Group, but they rarely come back all year round, and they are only hired to participate in the war, and the war money can be faster than other hunting money, the mercenary's physical quality can naturally not be comparable to that of ordinary soldiers, although the Yaoshi Mercenary Group only has nearly three thousand people, But it can already determine the outcome of a small battle with 50,000 people.
The mercenary union and each empire have control over the upper limit of the number of mercenary groups, at most no more than 5,000 people, after this number will be defined as illegal arming, will be subject to the mercenary union and the empire where it is located, this is also to protect the interests of each empire, if this upper limit is not set, then any businessman can take out countless money to recruit tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of mercenaries, which can pose a fatal threat to an empire.
The mercenary union also has a rule, that is, the mercenary group cannot attack the mercenary during the period of employment, the war between the two countries is fought to the end, and the mercenary group is likely to become the decider of victory or defeat in the end, if a certain mercenary group has a bad heart in the end, and after eliminating the mercenary's enemy, the mercenary side will also be completely eliminated, it is very likely to invade a small country, dissolve the mercenary group and establish a new country, this is possible, and such a thing has happened in history.
After that, the mercenary union has one more provision, this kind of thing is not only ruined by the mercenary group's own reputation, the entire mercenary union will be implicated, mercenaries are mercenaries, mercenary groups can become meat grinders on the battlefield, can become the key factor in the victory of the war, but you can't become a villain who breaks the treaty treacherously, you can attack a country, at least you have to wait for the war to be completely over, and then you start a new war, if you want to be the king, no one will stop you.
As the largest country in the Loess Wasteland, the Dow Jones Empire is undoubtedly powerful, in addition to the Dow Jones Empire, there are four empires in the Loess Wasteland, these countries are like giants in addition to fighting each other, other forces are unshakable, but in addition to counting the five countries in the Dow Jones Empire, there are some countries in the Loess Wasteland, which cannot be compared with the Dow Jones Empire, and they are not even recognized by the temple. There is a big city, and a dozen small cities are a country, and they survive in the gap between empires and empires, and these countries cannot be called empires. It's the kingdom.
The reason why kingdoms have survived until now is that each kingdom will show its submission to a certain empire, and will pay tribute to the empire every year, claiming to be a vassal country. In this way, the empire was exempted from attack, and the empire also understood that it was the same whether such a small country could be defeated or not, and it had already surrendered and paid tribute, which was no different from its own country. And if you really want to fight, no matter how weak the kingdom is, it is still a country, and if you don't get the empire to lose a piece of meat by itself, it is not cost-effective.
The empire does not care about the rights and wrongs of the kingdom, and accepting tribute is just a guarantee that it will not be attacked, but the kingdom is fighting between kingdoms for many years, just like between empires and empires, there are kingdoms falling in this world almost every day. There are new regimes standing up. The main members of the defeated country, especially the men, were almost always killed, and the non-main ones were sold into slavery, and because of their special status, the price of these slaves was very high.
A year ago, there was a large slave merchant in Wind and Sand City, carrying more than 4,000 slaves, including the princess of a defeated country in the Wanhua Plain. The appearance is not very beautiful, but it was sold for a sky-high price in the auction house of Wind and Sand City. It is said that it was bought by a wealthy merchant who lived in Beicheng District.
Whether there are war students or not, you will know when you go to the mercenary union. The mercenary union will update the news that the war needs to hire mercenaries every two days, in fact, it is impossible to say that there is no war, but it is not necessarily necessary to say that mercenaries will be hired, the price of hiring mercenaries to participate in the war is very high, and it is paid first, take the heavy armor mercenary group as an example, although the heavy armor mercenary group is only three hundred, but the emphasis is on the soldiers in the fine and not many, its price is not lower than those two thousand mercenary groups that do not have the strength to limit the collection of people, Douglas last participated in the war was two months ago, The time was half a month, and the country that hired the heavy armor mercenary group spent 20,000 gold coins, and in order to achieve that victory, that country not only hired a mercenary group, but also hired more than ten mercenary groups, and spent a total of 200,000 gold coins.
If it is in an empire, needless to say the empire itself, it is no problem for a businessman to take out 200,000 gold coins, but in a small country, 200,000 gold coins is definitely a great burden.
Three hundred people divide 20,000 gold coins It seems that everyone can share a lot, but in fact, it is not, because every war will kill people, and if the mercenary group dies, the dead mercenary group must pay a death pension, and the death pension will be handed over to the family of the dead mercenary, the stronger the person, the higher the death pension will be after death, and if a mercenary of the third level of primary strength dies, the death pension will be as high as fifty gold coins, and if a mercenary of this level like Douglas dies, the death pension will be as high as 1,000 gold coins.
After each mercenary group participates in the war, it divides the death pension now, and the remaining money is distributed to the surviving mercenaries according to their strength.
If this is not the case, there are really few mercenaries who will set foot on the battlefield that is more dangerous than the jungle, where the mortality rate is the highest for people, whether it is a hunter or a mercenary is relying on their own lives to make money, maybe one day the fate will be lost, and after the death of the battlefield, the family can get a pension for the rest of their lives, which is why the mercenaries are willing to go to the battlefield.
"Yes, how about that?" Douglas pointed to a piece of war mercenary news on the bulletin board to ask Zhu Wen's opinion, Zhu Wen didn't know much about the war pattern in this world and the way of war, and Dougla was naturally much stronger than Zhu Wen in terms of knowledge, Zhu Wen was self-aware and naturally would not point fingers at Dougla, and said casually: "You decide." "I never said anything more.
If the mercenary is defeated, then the mercenary group will lose a lot even if it retreats in time, and it will be wiped out if it is not good, of course, it is not necessarily that the mercenary must like to participate in the kind of battle that is guaranteed to win and not lose, this kind of battle is rare, and he will hire mercenaries even if he knows that he will not lose? And the prices offered are very low, only the kind of battles where the two sides are equal is the mercenary most willing to participate, the outcome is unknown, the mercenary has become the decisive factor, and the price is high.
Of course, there is an outrageous situation of high employment prices, that is, a country is on the verge of extinction, but the enemy is still strong, at this time, if the country's royal family is very rich, you can offer a very high price to attract mercenaries to help them win the war, but in this case, there are very few mercenary groups involved in this kind of war, that is almost helping a perished country to restore the country, the difficulty can be imagined, dare to intervene in this situation, are many top mercenary groups together, You will do it when you are sure that you can win, and finally split the ridiculously high employment costs.
Douglas decided to take part in a small war that was about to be born in the northwestern part of the Loess Plain, with two countries: the kingdom of Karpasia, with a population of 5.7 million, and the kingdom of Qinglong, with a population of 5.3 million.
Four days ago, the prince of the Qinglong Kingdom was assassinated in the territory of the Karpas Kingdom, which made the relationship between the two countries extremely tense, although it is still in the negotiation stage on the surface, in fact, the war is inevitable and will explode, the reason why the two sides are forbearance is actually secretly deploying troops, as well as mercenaries, the mercenary union gives a guess that the war will completely explode in half a month at most.
This time, the heavy armor mercenary group intends to accept the employment of the Karpas Kingdom, and the price of employment has been written on the notice board of the mercenary union, such as the employment fee of the mercenary group at the level of the heavy armor mercenary group for half a month is 25,000 gold coins, if you continue to hire after half a month, then you will have to recalculate the strength of the mercenary group, and pay a high employment fee again, in short, the longer the employment, the more the employment cost of the Karpas Kingdom.
This is simply the same as burning money, and it may not be able to win, the mercenary group has the right to choose a strategic transfer in the case of a complete defeat in the war, which is commonly known as escape, which will not be punished or blamed in any way, the mercenary group has no obligation to bury a certain country, and under normal circumstances, the hostile countries of the mercenary side will not pursue the mercenary group, of course, if the mercenary group feels sorry for the country that hired it, it is no problem to withdraw and go back to do a sneak attack or something, but it is very important to consider, No country will tolerate the existence of such a mercenary group, this time you may have helped a certain country with this method, and even won the war, but next time?
The reputation has already spread, and the next time the mercenary group encounters a complete defeat in the war, the other party will not necessarily let you go if you want to retreat, because you have a history of retreating and then coming back to sneak attack, and letting you go is no different from letting the enemy go, and the final result is that this kind of mercenary group will be completely wiped out in a certain battle, and you can't run away.
Therefore, there is a rule in the mercenary group that is not a rule, which can be said to be an unspoken rule, that is, once the mercenary group is completely defeated in the war and chooses to escape, it will immediately withdraw from that country and no longer participate in the war, so that the mercenary enemy's enemies will not embarrass the mercenary group, and the mercenary group will also protect itself.
Although mercenaries take people's money and eliminate disasters with others, they can't put themselves in it because of this, everyone understands this, whether it is a mercenary group or the kingdom of a mercenary group.!
