Chapter 193: Ambition Hoarding
readx;
The mercenary market was crowded with people, and if Avi and Fan wanted to move forward a little, they had to move their bodies hard, sticking out a foot in the pile of muscles, "How can there be so many people... I think we'd better go back, it's not easy to make up for this excitement!" Fan originally planned to come here to feel the grand scene of mercenaries pouring into Mallot, but he didn't expect that there were too many mercenaries pouring in, even if it was already dusk, there were still many mercenaries in the mercenary market, either looking for mercenary groups to join, or looking for mercenary jobs. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Most of the mercenaries around Avi are independent mercenaries without teams, some of them come from other parts of the kingdom, and some of them have broken away from the original mercenary group and want to join other mercenary groups to show their strength. The vast majority of mercenaries have their own weapons and armor, and each of them can become instant combat power, which is what mercenary groups need most.
"Something buzzing up there seems to be going on!Everyone is crowding over there, let's go over and have a look?" Avi's height was a little shorter than most of the mercenaries, so he could only stand on tiptoe and look into the distance, he also wanted to find the mercenary he had just met with a back that looked like Feide's predecessor.
Fan looked back and saw that the other mercenaries were also crowding in that direction, and if he tried to turn away, he might turn into a fish against the current.
The two had to follow the crowd forward, there was a ring in the center of the mercenary market, that ring was used for some mercenaries to solve problems, if anyone can win the other party, the problem between the mercenaries will be solved.
As Avi expected, the reason why everyone squeezed in the direction of the ring was because there were two mercenaries facing each other in the ring, and neither of them shot easily.
The crowd stopped, and Avi and Fan watched the two in the ring from a short distance. One of the two men was a woman, the female mercenary holding a short sword, and the male holding a spear in both hands.
"I guess the male mercenary will win, he's the one who wields the gun, just like me!" Van said to Avi.
"But the female mercenary seems to be more flexible," Avi saw that the male mercenary with the gun did not move, but the female mercenary began to wander around the edge of the ring, "The female mercenary only has a short sword in her hand, and the other hand is empty, maybe the other hand will take out some weapon at the critical moment." ”
While Avi and Fan were talking, the two mercenaries were already tangled together. The short sword in the female mercenary's hand was really flexible, she didn't fight hard with the male mercenary with the spear, she tried to get close to the male mercenary many times, trying to knock off the spear in the other person's hand. The male mercenary kept his distance from the female mercenary, attacking with the tip of the spear, defending with the body of the spear, and then counterattacking with the tail of the spear, and the whole spear was used freely in his hand without any flaws.
The evenly matched battle between the two made the mercenaries in the audience applaud loudly, and even Avi and Fan, who had experienced a lot of battles, praised the fighting skills of the two mercenaries in their hearts, and both of them used their weapons to the extreme, both offensive and defensive, and they couldn't tell the difference for a while.
Avi accidentally saw a person who looked like Field's predecessor by the window on the second floor of a building, Avi only saw the other person's side face, but even if he only saw the side face, Avi could be sure that the person was not Field's senior, because that person had a beard and looked much older than Fielder.
Next to the man who resembled Fed's size was a man with iron rings on his ears, neither of whom looked like mercenaries. The middle-aged man who looked like Feder had a polite and polite look, like a teacher at the Kestrel Academy, though Avi was sure that there was no such teacher at the Kestrel Academy.
"Hey, you know what, those two people on the stage are a couple!" some of the mercenaries around Avi shouted, "It's nonsense that they're going to come to this ring because of the different princes they support, and whoever loses will listen to whom!"
"Hahaha, at home, but I have the final say, my wife and son have to listen to me, so it seems that this woman is a ruthless character!" a fat mercenary boasted.
"That woman's name is Veronica, she is an independent mercenary, she has never joined a mercenary group, even if she completes the mercenary mission, she is alone!"
"Didn't someone say just now that it was a couple? Why did you go to take on the mercenary mission alone?!"
"Because the female mercenary named Veronica is so strong, the male mercenary on the stage, Mills, is the deputy head of the Spark Mercenary Group, although the two of them are lovers, but they do their own work separately!"
Ah Wei and Fan heard the conversation between the mercenaries before they sorted out the relationship between the two. The mercenary named Veronica was younger, with crisp short blonde hair and a sharp chin and nose. Veronica has slender limbs and a tall figure, and the short sword in her hand is like a part of her body, and she can play it with ease. On the other hand, the mercenary named Mills is as steady as a rock, rarely moving his feet, and only constantly looking for opportunities to counterattack in the defense. Mills had a small brown beard on his chin, he was about thirty years old, with deep eyes and a mature handsomeness.
Both of them have distinct characteristics, and Avi can't help but wonder who the prince is supported by the two mercenaries.
"Mills, you and I will have to join the different princes sooner or later! Why don't you decide the winner today, and if anyone dies, you don't have to worry about the future!" Veronica shouted as she attacked, but she obviously didn't use all her strength, and the place where the dagger stabbed was not fatal.
Mills replied lightly: "We were still discussing marriage last night, and today we have become mortal enemies, can't you let me go when it comes to choosing who to support? I have already made concessions to you in many places!"
The other male mercenaries couldn't help but let out an "oh" when they heard this, and some of them sighed. Most of them think of their wives in the family, their status in the family is the lowest, second to the wife and children, as a man not only has to work hard to earn money to support the family, but also often give concessions to the women in the family, it is really not easy.
"Hmph, is the matter of marriage also going to be discussed here?!" Veronica's offensive suddenly sharpened, and Mills began to be pushed to the edge of the ring, "I tell you! As long as you continue to support the eldest prince Bradley, I will not marry you!"
Including Avi and Fan, everyone said "oh", it turned out that the deputy head of the Spark Mercenary Group supported the Great Prince, so it is estimated that this mercenary group that is quite powerful in Mallotte also supports the Great Prince. Most of the other mercenaries craned their necks, of course they also knew about the current dispute within the Kingdom of Salins, but most of them did not dare to tell others about the choice of the prince in their minds, for fear of standing on the wrong team, and for fear of being regarded as enemies by others. At this time, Veronica just said Mills's thoughts, and those mercenaries who also supported the eldest prince in their hearts had confidence.
"Then I'll start... Hopefully Mills will win...", Avi whispered.
Mills ignored Veronica, who abruptly retracted his spear during one of Veronica's melee attacks, allowing the barrel of the spear to stop the opponent's waist from behind and pull it towards him. The short sword in Veronica's hand didn't have time to be withdrawn, and stabbed directly into Mills's arm, but Mills let go of the spear, held the back of Veronica's neck with his other hand, and kissed the other party!
All the mercenaries were stunned, and Veronica was stunned, her dagger still stabbed into Mills' arm, and the blood was pouring down his arm.
"Here's how things are going...", Avi felt a heat on his face, and he immediately realized that although Mills had been stabbed by Veronica, he was the real winner.
The mercenaries applauded and shouted like waves, and everyone was impressed by Mills's handsome gesture - at the cost of his own injury, he kissed his opponent in this mercenary ring. Veronica didn't stay for long, she quickly pushed the other party away, she pulled the short sword directly from Mills's arm, completely ignoring the other party's injuries, with a flush on her face, quickly disappeared from everyone's view.
"Alas, I'm really speechless, why did a good duel turn out like this!" Big Nose Fan kept shaking his head, he was about the same age as Avi, but he never mentioned which girl he liked, "It's so boring!
Avi pretended to know everything, and patted Fan's shoulder, "I understand you! It's a very bad feeling to be alone, do you want to find a partner in Mallote City? Anyway, most people want to marry and have children..."
The crowd around the ring gradually dispersed, and the sun crept down after the farce ended. The mercenary market at night was lively, countless mercenaries from other places were still looking for their own mercenary group, and many mercenaries who had seen Mills's strength took the initiative to find the recruitment point of the Spark Mercenary Group and asked to join the Spark Mercenary Group.
Avi also took the opportunity to ask the mercenary groups that had set up recruiting points in the mercenary market to find out who the prince supported by those mercenaries was. However, most of the mercenary groups gave ambiguous answers, after all, they were swords born for their employers, and whichever faction hired them, they had to stand on which side, and they could not act according to their own ideas. There are also mercenary groups that have made their support for the prince clear, and these mercenary groups have gained the favor of more independent mercenaries, but they will also take more risks.
"Mercenaries will see the wind at the last moment, even if you inquire about this information, it doesn't make much sense..."Fan's head rested on his arms, unconcerned about Avi's current investigation.
"Well, although this is the case, I still want to know what the mercenaries think, after all, these mercenaries are the biggest variables, and they may decide a lot of things..."Avi recalled the contribution of the Potato Mercenaries in the Battle of the River, and if it weren't for the Fed's predecessors, maybe the Church Alliance would have been defeated.
"I think you're the biggest variable. Fan had a smiling expression.
