Roy's gaze followed the bald head.

He didn't know this man, and he didn't understand why this man was holding him back for a while. However, he saw that in addition to the bald head, there were several other people in the crowd who were also doing the same thing. As long as they see a mercenary who wants to sign up, they will stop the other party.

These people are not very strong, and most of them are just just just and even brave knights. And since the person they stopped is qualified to sign up, at least he is also a knight of glory. But under the threat of this gang, many mercenaries who originally wanted to sign up gave up with ugly faces.

"What are you doing?" and with a shout, several of the knights of the guard came over and drank to the people in the crowd.

As soon as they saw the people in the mission hall, the group all sneered and walked away as if nothing had happened. However, their threatening gaze swept towards the surrounding crowd from time to time, and they looked fearless. And many mercenaries showed a look of anger after seeing the badges of these people.

"Who are they?" Roy asked in a low voice to the mercenaries beside him.

An old mercenary whispered, "Boy, you're a novice, right?"

"How do you know?" Roy looked surprised. The confused expression is simply telling the other party "You guessed right".

The old mercenary had a goat-like brown beard, half-white hair, and was dressed in half-new, half-old leather armor, tied only with a rope around his waist, and looked a little down.

He snorted and said, "You don't even know them? These guys are from the Thunderstorm Mercenary Regiment." ”

"Thunderstorm mercenary group?" Roy said in surprise, "the fifth-ranked free mercenary group in the southern part of the empire?"

"Tsk," said the old mercenary, "it's fourth now." ”

Roy was silent for a moment, but at the same time finally understood why the knights stopped at the sight of the insignia of these guys.

In the southern part of the Empire, the Thunderstorm Mercenary Regiment is definitely in the mercenary world. A thunderous name.

This mercenary group rose seventy years ago, and with its fierce and domineering style, it gradually grew into a large mercenary group. And in the past twenty years, it has defeated and annexed three large mercenary groups one after another, and has grown into the top five super mercenary groups in the southern part of the empire.

And as it grows and grows, there are more and more nobles. The chaebols and various forces are involved in it because of their interests, forming a large network of intertwined roots. In terms of strength, the tenth-ranked Ice Star Mercenary Group and even the Coastal Mercenary Group under Adolf are far from their opponents.

This also makes the thunderstorm mercenary group more and more arrogant and domineering, and the hand is stretched longer and longer, but everything that they fancy will succeed in coercion, temptation, soft and hard. Their behavior is almost indistinguishable from that of bandits who rob homes and houses, kill people and set fires. Let the southern mercenaries suffer.

For example, this time when the Abyss Ruins were discovered, the Thunderstorm Mercenary Group was exhausted. A dozen top-tier mercenary squads were dispatched. This represents a third of the mercenary squads currently heading to the Abyss.

But that's all, the Thunderstorm Mercenary Group is not satisfied.

They took out their usual means again and started to make an article in the mission hall. As long as it is a squad that they fancies, they send their own people to participate in it. and intimidation and other means to deter other competitors. If someone doesn't open their eyes, then I'm sorry, even if they have the life to find the ruins, I'm afraid they won't have the life to enjoy the results.

For decades, it is unknown how many mercenaries have been persecuted and hunted down by the Thunderstorm Mercenaries for offending them. This is also why the strength is obviously higher than the other party, but when I saw the badge of the thunderstorm mercenary group of these people. The reason why the mercenaries who originally wanted to sign up flinched one after another.

With the harassment of the Thunderstorm Mercenary Group, the atmosphere in the mercenary hall. All of a sudden, it became weird.

The registration counter, which was already full of people, became crowded, and the qualified and powerful mercenaries were angry and helpless, and the mercenaries who were not qualified to sign up hid far away, lest they get into trouble.

And the deacons and guards of the Mission Hall knew that it was the Thunderstorm Mercenary Regiment who was in the way, but these guys were very cunning and only threatened in private. They didn't get their hands on it, so they were a little helpless. Although efforts were made to maintain order and encourage everyone to sign up, they were of limited use.

"Forget it," the crowd said. The old mercenary patted Roy on the shoulder and said, "Little rookie, since you are a mercenary, you must understand the ways of mercenaries." Some things are not something you can touch. These guys are ruthless, so you'd better stay away from them. If you really want to go to the abyss, just find an ordinary team and go to the first and second floors. ”

"yes," another middle-aged mercenary next to him also glanced at Roy and said, "Besides, I think you seem to be a little late in signing up, right?"

As he spoke, he pointed to a few people standing in front of the registration counter and said, "Look at those guys, they are all related to the Thunderstorm Mercenary Regiment. Their worst is also the strength of Honor Samsung. See that tall, long-faced guy? That's a one-star knight of light! His name is Schwartz, and he's nicknamed Hyena. A single finger can kill you. You dare to rob him of his business?"

Roy followed the middle-aged mercenary's gaze and saw five people standing in front of the counter, all looking forward to it, with a hint of ruthlessness and smugness in their eyes. Three of them are from the Thunderstorm Mercenary Regiment, while the remaining two are not from the Thunderstorm Mercenary Regiment, but they seem to have an extraordinary relationship with them.

Especially that Schwartz, his complexion is gloomy, and he looks fierce and vicious to everyone. Where their eyes swept over, the mercenaries subconsciously avoided from afar.

Soon, the registration of these people was completed.

Seeing that no one was willing to sign up anymore, one of the second-level deacons in charge of registration set his eyes on the middle-aged knight of the Ice Star Mercenary Regiment who was waiting on the side.

"Mr. Roundelo," said the deacon, with an apologetic look on his face, "you see, should the selection be made at once, or should we wait?"

To recruit mercenaries in the Mission Hall, the recruiter needs to pay a certain amount of money. Moreover, in order to avoid crowding out the announcement resources of the mission hall, a team can only issue one recruitment announcement a day. If no one wants to join, they will have to wait until the next day to recruit again.

Especially when recruiting companions above the level of Glory like Londero, the requirements are even stricter.

And these people in front of him obviously can't satisfy Rondello.

What happened just now, Rondelo also saw it in his eyes, and at this moment he was frowning, looking at the people of the Thunderstorm Mercenary Group with a stern expression. In his eyes, there was a faint hint of beating anger.

"Alas," the old mercenary said, "the Ice Star Mercenary Regiment has been suppressed by the Thunderstorm Mercenary Group for so many years, and they are all old enemies. Rondello wouldn't have chosen these guys to be his teammates. ”

A mercenary next to him snorted coldly: "Do you think these bastards of the Thunderstorm Mercenary Regiment don't know? They did this, obviously to make trouble for Rondero." I heard that these two mercenary groups have been fighting very hard recently. The Ice Star Mercenary Group suffered several heavy losses one after another, not only lost a few big deals, but was also driven out of several coastal cities by the Thunderstorm Mercenary Group, and I heard that even Kailuo City was lost......"

"Yes, this time to explore the Abyss Ruins, the Ice Star Mercenary Regiment did its best to organize three squads. The rest of the people were held back by the Thunderstorm Mercenaries, otherwise Rondello wouldn't have come here. ”

"Alas. With the Thunderstorm Mercenary Group in the way, Rondello may not find any good helpers. And the staffing is not enough, and the combat effectiveness that the seven of them can exert is probably not even half. ”

Roy listened quietly.

Mercenary groups have their own areas of influence, and their industries, businesses, and reserve replenishment come from these places. And Kailuo City is one of the main gathering points in the south of the Ice Star Mercenary Group. In business for many years. Not only does it have a first-class branch, but it also has a large number of industries.

Roy didn't know much about the battles between mercenary groups. But even so, he knew what the loss of Kairo City meant to the Ice Star Mercenary Regiment. It was definitely a big hit.

And it can be seen from this that the struggle between the two sides has reached a certain extent. In such a situation, it is strange that the middle-aged knight named Rundero would choose the Thunderstorm Mercenary Regiment.

But as everyone can see, the Thunderstorm Mercenary Group is doing this to disgust Londero. Under their coercion. No one was willing to risk offending them to join Rondelo's ranks.

"Wait. "Round Elo said.

"Wait?" Schwartz's face turned cold when he heard this, "Isn't our strength enough to join your team?"

"I choose people, except for strength. It also depends on the character. Ronderow met the provocative gaze of Schwartz and the others, and said slowly, "I understand what you want to do. But I believe that mercenaries who are truly adventurous and regard exploring the unknown as their life will not be deterred by the threat of some villain. ”

"Haha," Schwartz clapped his hands, "what an exhilarating declaration of justice." ”

In the crowd, a group of people from the Thunderstorm Mercenary Group also erupted in laughter and boos at the same time.

Schwartz restrained his smile, looked around gloomily, and said, "I want to see what gentleman would dare to wade into this muddy water." ”

The whole hall was silent.

However, at this moment, the crowd dodged a passageway, and a sixth-level supervisor of the Mission Hall wearing a purple robe and a slender figure appeared in front of everyone.

As soon as she appeared, she shouted at Schwartz, "Mr. Schwartz, if you make similar remarks in public, I will regard it as a provocation to the Mission Hall!"

"It's Director Ling Xuan here. ”

"Hey, these guys of the Thunderstorm Mercenary Regiment dare to show off their majesty in front of Miss Ling Xuan, but they don't have any good fruit to eat. ”

When I saw the female supervisor, the old mercenary and the people next to me, I was excited and discussed. But no one noticed that the young mercenary beside him had a smile on his lips.

What appeared in front of Roy's eyes was the little second-level supervisor of the Mission Hall in Edin City, that is, Ling Xuan, the sister of the two sisters Ling Shuang and Ling Xue.

After a few months, Ling Xuan has now been transferred to the Muni City Mission Hall and promoted to the sixth-level supervisor. And the main reason why she can be where she is today is because she met Roy at the beginning.

If it weren't for Roy's help, she would have been driven away by the then director of Medin City and his niece.

"She's still my cousin......"

Thinking back to the past when he pretended to be her cousin in order to help Ling Xuan, Roy couldn't help but laugh.

Speaking of which, Ling Xuan was still his only contact in the Mission Hall. Her two younger sisters, who were also her friends at Training Camp One, not only experienced the Wenger robbery together, but also fought side by side in the fjord.

However, during this time, he has not been in contact with Ling Xuan, and even the parents of the three sisters have invited them to the house several times, but they have been delayed until today for various reasons.

Thinking about it now, Roy was somewhat embarrassed.

Compared with Ling Xuan at the beginning, Ling Xuan now looks a lot more mature. Dressed in a purple sixth-level supervisor robe, with a calm temperament and sharp eyes, the scene was immediately calmed, and even Schwartz could only laugh dryly twice, shut his mouth and stopped talking.

However, Ling Xuan's appearance did not solve the problem. Except for Schwartz and the others, none of the mercenaries dared to sign up.

Looking at the smug eyes of Schwartz and the others, Ling Xuan looked around, a little disappointed in his eyes.

"What are you waiting for? No one signed up, so I quickly chose someone. ”

"No one is no one, and no one will wait any longer. Why, look down on these guys who signed up? That's what the Mission Hall of Muni City did?"

The Thunderstorm Mercenary Regiment hid in the crowd and made a noise.

Seeing that this recruitment was about to turn into a farce controlled by thunderstorm mercenaries, suddenly, everyone saw a thin young man in the crowd walking out.

"I signed up. He said...... (To be continued......)
