Chapter 135: The First Mission
"Your Excellency, please," said one of the two middle-aged men.
"That was the first assignment I ever undertook, and I didn't know how to find an employer when I first decided to be a killer," Argo continued, resting his left leg on top of his right, a very ungentlemanly sitting position.
The three high-level leaders of the Killer Guild expressed their understanding that many killers who had just debuted were like this, and they did not have such a huge machine as the Killer Guild behind them, so they could not undertake the tasks they wanted.
It's just that I didn't expect the famous killer Nightingale to experience such an embarrassing situation when he first debuted.
"Luckily, I met my first employer shortly after, and unfortunately he was just a child under the age of 10," says Ago.
This is where the story begins when an employer under the age of ten meets a killer who is just thirteen years old.
"The fate of this child is unfortunate, his family caravan has just been robbed by a thief army, and his father and mother have died at the hands of the thieves," said Ago, who witnessed the scene after the thieves robbed the caravan, and fate played a joke on the little boy, who disdained to kill a child under the age of ten, so he abandoned the child in the bloody land.
"I can help you get revenge, but you have to pay me accordingly" was the first thing Argo said to the boy, but the caravan of the young boy's family had been looted by the thieves, and there was no way to pay him, not to mention that this army of thieves was a medium-sized army.
The unification of the political power of the countries of the continent of Styland has formed a powerful government with the aristocracy as the main body, and in this situation, the poor people who are not satisfied with the status quo have formed various armed forces such as large and small bandit legions and bandit legions.
Since the Stilland Continent is a continent with many mountain ranges, these thieves or bandits often enter the mountains to escape the encirclement and suppression of the army, and these bandit armies have become a cancer around the countries of the Stilland Continent.
Those with less than 1,000 thieves can become small thieves, more than 1,000 can become medium thieves, and more than 5,000 can become large thieves.
Unfortunately, the thieves who ransacked the boys' caravan belonged to a medium-sized army of thieves numbering more than fifteen hundred.
Hearing this, several people, including Yuria, were all interested in Argo, the killer never does unpaid tasks, this is a dignity that belongs to the killer's heart, although the nightingale is a novice, but he obviously understands the rules of the killer.
"And how did you help the little boy?" the middle-aged man continued.
"Fate often plays a big joke on us, and the little boy took a gold coin from his neck, which was the first gift his mother gave him, and the thieves didn't see that the little boy had a gold coin hidden in him," said Argo.
"Shall I use this coin as payment?" was the little boy's difficult words.
"With just one gold coin, has Your Excellency taken on this difficult task?" asked the young woman, who had to say that this newly debuted killer did have great charm.
"Yes, after I thought about it, I decided to accept the boy's commission," said Argo.
"Medium-sized legions of thieves are not so easy to deal with, and the sheer superiority in numbers is enough to overwhelm me," Argo continued.
"But the legion of thieves is clearly arrogant, and they have just sacked the caravan and swaggered to camp in a village and enjoy the pleasure of riches."
"And how did you manage to wipe out the entire army of thieves?" asked the young woman, and that was the point of the day, as the rumors of the thieves were not very detailed.
"After I saw the army of thieves settled in a village, I was going to do it at night, among the thieves there must be thieves who knew how to do military affairs, they set up camp in a very orderly manner, and there were two hundred people in each of the four directions, south, east, west, and north, and they guarded the seven hundred men of the thief leader in the middle" Argo closed his eyes and recalled the moments.
"And this also gave me the opportunity to break down one by one, and the other flaw is the distribution of wealth among thieves."
"It's a well-known fact that thieves tend to fight each other because of uneven distribution," says Ago.
Yuria looked at Argo, she had seen Argo's intelligence more than once, but she didn't expect him to be so intelligent at the age of thirteen.
"And what did you do?" Jana couldn't figure out for a moment how the two flaws could be exploited by Mr. Nightingale.
"Then please continue to listen to me," Argo changed his position, and a comfortable feeling came from his joints.
"As early as daytime, I had already snuck into the midst of the thieves to find out the news, and you know, there were many teenagers like me among the thieves, so my appearance was not unexpected," said Argo.
"In this way, I infiltrated the camp of one of the bandits, and I spread a rumor to this team, that is, when I robbed the caravan today, I saw with my own eyes that the leader of the bandit army secretly hid two boxes of gold coins, you know, two large boxes of gold coins are a wealth that this group of thieves cannot rob in their lifetime," said Ago.
If each box of gold coins is calculated according to 100,000, two boxes of gold coins are 200,000 gold coins, 20 million silver coins, you must know that 100 silver coins are enough to make an ordinary family live a rich life, and two boxes of gold coins will undoubtedly become the existence of thieves.
"The squad I spread rumors about is not the leader of the thieves, in fact, the team of the leader of the thieves is only 700 people, all of them are guarding the leader's side, and the captain of the team was furious when he heard the news, and couldn't help but lead his own guards to question the leader," said Ago.
"Did the captain of thieves believe the news so easily?" asked one man.
"Of course not, but I've already figured out that this squad leader has been unpopular with the Legion of Thieves and has a fiery temper," Argo said.
It is not without recklessness to make such a bold move just by virtue of a person's character.
"The captain of the thieves is gone, and now it's time for me to carry out my plan, just two hundred thieves with low strength will not be the opponent of a mid-level magician at all, just a few fire-based magics are enough to make these thieves jump" Argo said casually, as if the scene at that time was just a trivial matter.
"Clueless thieves can only speculate for no reason, and the first reason that comes to their mind is that the leader of the thieves wants to kill and steal that fortune for himself, and of course, in the meantime, I have killed several thieves who have not opened their eyes because they have accidentally discovered the fact that I have set fires," said Argo, smiling.
The thieves at that time suffered heavy casualties in the flames, and Argo can still recall the pleasure of killing at that time.
The wails everywhere are like the unbridled singing of the devil, and the struggling bodies are more like the dancing posture of death on the flames.
"Burn, burn, end sin with sin, it's often the most pleasant thing," said Argo, smiling and chanting, as he tackled a few thieves who had found their way and run out of the thatched house.
"I suspect that the captain of this group of thieves was scolded by the leader of the thieves when he questioned him, but something even more angry awaited him," Argo said slowly.
"The soaring flames attracted the attention of the entire army of thieves, and the only survivor was a henchman of the captain of the thieves, and his words made the captain of the thieves and the other three captains who came to check on the situation shudder, the leader of the thieves was so vicious, but they did not know that they were also doing vicious things" Argo slowly observed his own palm prints, which seemed to be careless in the eyes of several people who listened to the story.
"That survivor must be your deliberate handiwork, right?" asked Jana.
Argo smiled knowingly, and did not answer Jana's words, it was obvious that this was his own intention.
By this time, Ago had retired, hiding on the hilltop of the village and waiting for things to change.
"So, did the thieves really have infighting?" the man asked.
"Yes, in the middle of the night, the thieves caught fire, and they were mad for their riches, and they fought for an hour," said Argo.
