Looking at the mountain of corpses and the sea of corpses in front of him, the priest sent by the Holy Spirit Mercenary Group was very satisfied. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The local lords of the East Oguna Empire, who stood with him, were also satisfied, because they had received several times more money than they had spent a year looting the people's fat and ointment.
"You see, the corpses of those rebels in the West are all here, and each and every one of them is basically intact, at least not the defects we caused when we carried them... And most of the corpses have been simply embalmed," the local nobleman pointed to the corpses of the soldiers, all of whom had been stripped of their weapons and armor, and all that remained was a dead body covered in wounds.
The nobleman looked at the priest standing beside him with his spare eyes, he didn't know that the other party was dissatisfied with the corpses.
"It's good, but..."
"But what is it?!, I don't need to keep those armors..."The nobleman had already sold the contents of the dead soldiers, and if the mercenary priest was not satisfied, he had to spit out a little money.
"But that doesn't seem right. The priest looked at the thousands of corpses in front of him, all of them soldiers of the Theoguna Empire. All of them were pioneers who had crossed the Split Mountains and stepped into the territory of the East Oguna Empire before the snow covered the mountains. The battle, which had been going well, was suddenly reversed by the loss of Windmill City, and these earliest vanguard troops were immediately all outcasts, and the Theoguna Empire had to abandon them.
Death in battle should have been their final outcome and destination, but unfortunately they could not rest in peace after they died, but were sold by the local nobles.
"Isn't the amount right? It must have been taken by other nobles. The nobleman held his hands up, indicating that he had not concealed or reserved anything at all. In fact, he knew in his heart that there must be many nobles like him on the eastern front that divided the mountain range, and put away the corpses of these enemies - every time there was a battle on the continent, no matter how big or small, there would always be some people who would come to buy these corpses. If the corpses were lying on the battlefield at random, then these guys in charge of collecting the corpses would come from thousands of miles away like bees that smell the aroma, so the nobles here have already secretly collected the corpses.
"The quantity is not enough, but the quality is good. Suddenly a man came from a distance, and the priests and nobles looked intently to see an unkempt fellow walking this way.
"It's the deputy head of the song gate! It's a blessing!" the priest could already smell the stench emanating from the other party, but as if he had filtered the stench, he slowly walked towards the other party.
The Utamon is still exactly the same as when he first joined the Einsatzgruppen, but the stench on his body is even worse, and he can smell it from several meters away. The nobleman beside the priest also smelled it, and he couldn't help but cover his nose, the smell of corpses emanating from the other party's body was stronger than the smell emanating from the pile of corpses in front of him. If those soldiers have been dead for a month, then the middle-aged mercenary in front of him is estimated to have been dead for almost a year before he emits this smell!
"Who is this lord?" Although the nobleman covered his nose with his hand, he still hoped that there would be one more corpse buyer.
"He's the deputy head of the funeral mercenary regiment, haven't you heard of his name?" the priest then introduced.
The nobleman then forcibly put down his hand covering his nose and mouth, and squeezed out an ugly smile with his distorted face, "The prestige of the deputy head has already spread to every corner of the mainland! The funeral mercenary group is the most powerful mercenary group in the mainland, of course I know! I know!" Although he had never heard of the name of this person, the name of the funeral mercenary group was well-known.
This mercenary union member, known as the funeral mercenary group, is the head of the nine mercenary groups. Their leader, Freddy, is a mysterious and terrifying mercenary, not many people have seen Freddy with their own eyes, and Freddy has always worn a one-piece steel mask, and no one knows what his true face is under the steel mask.
The funeral mercenary groups are mainly found in the Kingdom of Salins, and occasionally between the three principalities. The mercenary group is not a funeral for the dead, as its name suggests, although it does have a squadron that cleans the battlefield and holds funeral ceremonies for dead soldiers and civilians. But the main reason why the mercenary group is called a funeral mercenary group is because of their strong strength, and every squadron leader and even squad leader is a strong person who can take charge on his own. Their strength is as if they have come to give the enemy a funeral, and they will be able to treat any opponent as if they were dead.
Gemen reached out and patted the nobleman's shoulder, and then said, "That's great, I'm here to pick the corpse too, why don't you let me see it first?" The nobleman looked at the other man's dirty hand with disgust, but he still had a smile on his face. Gomon said that he was looking for some corpses that were in good shape, and that the rest could be left for the Holy Spirit Mercenary Corps.
Although the priest of the Holy Spirit Mercenary Regiment also smiled and said that he had no objections, the anger on his face could no longer be hidden, and Gemen walked straight to the pile of corpses as if he didn't see it. It was as if there was a mountain of gold and silver in front of me, and I enjoyed the fun of finding a suitable corpse.
Although the Holy Spirit Mercenary Group and the Funeral Mercenary Group both belong to the mercenary union, the strength of the Funeral Mercenary Group is stronger, and the river water between the two mercenary groups has always been between the two mercenary groups, so the priests of the Holy Spirit Mercenary Group don't know why the other party came here.
The Holy Spirit Mercenary Regiment is known on the continent for driving the legions that enslave the corpses, and most of the lords and nobles are very disdainful of this evil sorcery. They don't admit that it's magical, and it's generally believed that the priests of the Holy Spirit Mercenary Regiment who give birth to corpses are cultists who have sold their souls to demons. Therefore, there are not many employers who hire the Holy Spirit mercenary group to work. They also rarely go out, and most of the time, the priests of the Holy Spirit Mercenary Regiment are with their leader, the Pillar Priest, secretly studying some deals with demons.
The purpose of this time the priest is to transport these corpses back to his secret base, and then create some corpse soldiers to come out, but I didn't expect the deputy head of the funeral mercenary group to appear here, which is really unhappy.
"I don't know how the priest will carry away the thousands of corpses in a minute," the nobleman asked beside the priest.
"Just a hundred corpse soldiers lying on the ground can do it. The priest pointed to the dead bodies lying in the distance, and if you didn't look closely, you really thought they were just corpses in armor.
The nobleman had only come here this morning to find a row of corpses lying there, he had never seen these terrible witchcraft, but he would be able to see with his own eyes the priest of the Holy Spirit Mercenary Regiment cast an evil spell to awaken the corpses lying on the ground.
"These two are good, I want them!" Gomon had already walked back from the pile of corpses, and he still had the two sleek dead bodies of male soldiers on his shoulders.
"This costs two hundred gold coins..."The nobleman didn't know if the price he had deliberately raised would be discovered by the other party.
"It's expensive, but I can afford it. Gomon grabbed a diamond from his pocket and threw it to the other party.
The nobleman immediately grabbed the diamond with both hands, and it seemed that this court diamond was worth more than two hundred gold coins. The nobleman pointed his finger at himself and then at the diamond, and then Gemen nodded.
"By the way, next time if there is a good corpse, remember not to add too many embalmings, this is disrespectful to the corpse, your emperor has done a good job in this regard. With that, Gomen carried the two corpses into the distance, leaving behind the stunned nobles of the East Oguna Empire.
