Chapter 17: Recruiting Mercenaries (II)

This puts Tamu in a good mood, and he calls in Amand to pay off the unpaid commission, only to find that the deal seems to be a bit careless. Out of long-term friendship, Tamdo asked, "Is something wrong?"

"Nope. Amand shook his head, then picked up his glass and took a sip: "You are well informed about the situation in the Empire, and I want you to help me consider something." ”

"What's the matter? something to do with the mercenary group?" Tamu smiled and narrowed his eyes, "It's still related to the lord." ”

"It's all related. Amaner looked left and right to make sure that there was no one around, and then spoke: "That lord intends to take over the mercenary group in the city, not us but also a few others. ”

Tam was stunned as he digested the news, and after a while he asked, "When did this happen?"

"Just now. Amand hesitated, "After I spread the news that the garrison had gone to clear the bandits." The lord told me about it and asked what I thought. ”

"Then how did you answer him. Tamm patted Arman on the shoulder and poured him another glass of wine.

With that, Amand raised his glass and drank again. Then he put down his glass and shook his head: "I was stunned. The lord told me to think about it for a day and answer him tomorrow. ”

Tam nodded, "With the character of this lord, he has gone to ask for your opinion in person. Even if you refuse afterwards, he won't embarrass you for it. ”

"Although the mercenary group is free, this is also a rare opportunity..."Amand put down his glass in embarrassment: "How do you think I should answer?" ”

"Perhaps it is unlikely that this lord will inherit Marshal North's territory. But he is still the eldest son of Marshal North, and he is also the viscount personally canonized by His Majesty the Emperor, and the lord of Bishui City. Other than that... Do you know why he was canonized here?"

Seeing the other party, Tamu shook his head and smiled a little mysteriously: "The empire has a northern marshal, a southern marshal, and a western marshal, but only the position of the eastern marshal has always been vacant." He may not be the most favorable contender for this position right now, and he is still far from the top few in terms of qualifications and turf. But at least, it seems to me that with the origin and talent of this lord, he will definitely not stay on the title of border lord for long. ”

"Marshal Dong?!" Amand was startled and almost shouted: "Tower... Tam, is that true?"

"Undoubtedly, you must know that many rumors say that he is the illegitimate son of His Majesty the Emperor, although these are artificial, but at least it can also indicate that he has some connection with the imperial family. Tamu nodded solemnly: "You should be able to see how short of manpower that lord is now. Otherwise, with the strength of those guards knights under him, how could he look at an ordinary mercenary group?"

"My friend, I need to warn you. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for both you and your mercenary group. ”

What Tamm is saying now may be an exaggeration, but it is really what he really thinks. First, he wanted to repay the lord, and secondly, he wanted to help Aman. He knew more or less about Aman's mercenary group, and they were all honest and ambitious young people. It is really suitable for the current clear water city.

Amand thought for a moment, "That's the case, you should come with me to see the lord." I think you'll have some opinions on how to get in touch with the other mercenary groups. ”

The two of them sorted out their thoughts and came to the lord's mansion together.

Mei Fei watched the leader of the mercenary group who had just left come to visit him again, and was a little surprised: "Captain Aman, Mr. Tam What is the matter with you two coming to me? ”

Tam and Aman glanced at each other, "Just now, I met with Captain Aman in the tavern. He told me about it, my lord, that you want to take over the mercenary group. ”

Mei Fei nodded: "Then Captain Aman, have you thought about it?"

"I'm willing to serve my lord, but the rest of the mercenary group will need to wait until they all return in the evening to inquire about their intentions. When the time comes, I will try to convince them. With that, Amand knelt down on one foot and made a gesture of allegiance towards Mayfei.

Mei Fei stepped forward and helped Amand up: "Very good, then work hard for you." ”

"From now on, I am your subordinate. These are all things that are within reach, and you can rest assured that I will bring them all to you. Amand reassured.

"Sit down and talk. Mei Fei pointed to the two of them and said, "I don't know, what do you think of the other mercenary groups." ”

After the three of them were ready, Tamu turned to the noble young man: "Lord Lord, this point has been discussed with Aman on the way here before. ”

Without much thought, Mayfield asked, "Oh? ”

Amand on the side also spoke up: "We don't think you can be in such a hurry to absorb them immediately, there will be many hidden dangers." Because we still don't know much about the combat effectiveness, equipment, internal situation, and conduct of these mercenary groups. ”

Tam nodded approvingly: "My lord, you can hire them for some time in the name of the lord for the time being, and send them to do some less important work to find out the details of these mercenary groups. ”

And I can also take advantage of this time to find out their intentions and conduct. Whether it is resistance to in-recruitment, or whether there is any inappropriate behavior on the part of the members of the mercenary group. ”
