Chapter 134: Burn
Mercenaries and privates have the biggest difference in this regard.
If we use an animal analogy, a private soldier is like a hunting dog raised at home, while a mercenary is like a wild wolf roaming the wilderness.
The private soldiers recognized the asymmetry of status, and were willing to be subordinate to power and money, and what they reaped was that they were protected by drought and flood, and most of the time they were relatively safe. On the contrary, mercenaries have no fixed income, sometimes more and sometimes less, and every time they go out on a mission, they will face danger and death, but their efforts are also rewarding, they are free and unscrupulous, contempt and trample on the vast majority of the rules for normal people, although they need to be born and die in the wilderness, but in exchange for the greatest freedom.
Mercenaries will bow their heads to more powerful high-level mercenaries because of the difference in strength, but they will not be in awe of power and money, they can be hired by money, but it is only a temporary hire and not subordination, they are all independent individuals, and have never recognized the difference in status, in their hearts, you have status and money, and you can mobilize strong power behind you, which is indeed worthy of respect, but only respect, not awe. Just like Ah Xi will be afraid of the crow, the female leopard and the rose, that is a natural look up to the powerful power, but he will never be afraid of Mi Xin, he can listen to the employer and act for the sake of the employer because of professional ethics and other reasons, but the status is equal.
This is one of the biggest differences between mercenaries and private soldiers, one of the biggest differences in psychological factors, free wolves can not be easily raised into hunting dogs, mercenaries who follow their own hearts and are unscrupulous, it is also difficult to transform into private soldiers, they may occasionally make cameos for a few months or even a few years as private soldiers, but most of them will still return to the ranks of mercenaries, only those mercenaries who have let go of the pursuit of freedom, will really become domestic private soldiers, and once transformed, it is basically impossible to adapt to the life of mercenaries.
Therefore, the messenger's touching made most of the mercenaries faintly feel disdainful, but it must be admitted that Mi Xin's sense of proportion is very good.
Before this, she had never used this top-down direction to the mercenaries, she also gave orders, blamed and criticized, and of course expressed concern and love, but it was all from the perspective of the employer, not the perspective of a superior, in the hearts of the mercenaries, such an angle is the best and most comfortable. At this time, this condescending concern for the private soldier messenger has been transformed into the identity of the superior, but it can make the private soldier who recognizes the difference in status the most moved, and the mercenary set will not work here for the private soldier.
"Eat slowly, don't gobble it up so much. Mi Xin, who was the superior, behaved like a dignified and loving parent at this time, and said with concern, "Be careful not to choke on yourself, how about it, one bowl is enough, not enough to add another bowl, you have a lot of activity, you have to eat more to ensure the energy of the body." ”
"Enough, this stuff tastes so good. The messenger wiped his mouth and smacked his tongue to savor the taste of milk tea and fried yellow rice, "I'm full, thank you boss for your concern." ”
"You guys, you just don't have any patience. Mi Xin shook her head with a reproachful but warm smile and said, "Okay, I see that you can't bear it anymore, so let's get down to business, what's going on?"
"Last night was calm and all was fine, and there were few beasts lurking around the camp, as if they had made an appointment to rest tonight. The messenger said with some doubts, "At first, everyone thought that something was going to happen, and the calm in front of us was just a precursor to the storm, but it turned out that we thought too much, and it was indeed calm. ”
"Huh. Mi Xin glanced at the herdsmen's main tent from a distance, most of the herdsmen were still sleeping peacefully, and only a dozen herdsmen who had been arranged last night got up to make some auxiliary preparations for the re-departure of the convoy. Judging from the situation on both sides, it should be certain that this is the influence of xenomorphs, it seems that their breath can make the alien beasts and fierce beasts that are not strong enough to avoid, such a good ability, it is no wonder that the other two races are jealous.
"At that time, everyone was full of vigilance because everyone suspected that something big was going to happen, but when the team that was tracking behind sent someone over, a conflict almost broke out. The messenger said with some envy, "That man is very powerful, and his strength is not much different from ours, but under the sudden attack of four people, the defense is not leaky, and he can explain that they can stop attacking for the time being." ”
"It's really strong. Although Mi Xin has no combat effectiveness, she has been in contact with hundreds of people, she knows very well that mercenaries are all practical combatants, and their ability to deal with emergencies is much higher than those private soldiers who have smoothed out their fangs and claws, and it is normal to have this result. However, in order to take care of the mood of her subordinates, she still nodded and changed the subject, "What did he say?"
He said that their team of twelve people were mercenaries from the City of Chaos, and they belonged to a mercenary group. The messenger recalled, "But he didn't say exactly which mercenary group, only that it was a large mercenary group." ”
"City of Chaos?" Mi Xin glanced at the direction of the crow and rose with a smile, and did not disturb the two people sitting facing each other with milk tea, she knew that the two of them must be listening, and if there was something, they would take the initiative to say it, so she didn't say anything, just said softly, "Can you be sure that what the other party said is true or false?"
"This ...... Boss, we don't know. The messenger scratched his head in annoyance and said, "The other party is very sincere and apologetic, saying that it was because of some wrong information that caused a little misunderstanding between the two sides, which caused them to follow our team for two days. Now they have understood that it was a misunderstanding, and they will retreat this morning, but they will apologize before leaving, and I hope we can convey their apologies to you. In addition, they also gave five units of source crystals, saying that the past two days have brought a lot of pressure to our top and bottom, and this money will be regarded as compensation for faux pas. As for this letter, he also gave it to us, saying that the ins and outs of the matter are clearly written on the letter, and you can understand it at a glance. ”
"Thank you for your hard work, thank you, you can go and rest for a while. Mi Xin's beautiful eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and she was silent for a while at the letter, then suddenly got up, threw the letter directly into the fire of cooking milk tea, and quietly watched the letter turn into ashes.
"Heh, no wonder you're not in a hurry. Rose squinted her eyes and chuckled, "Indeed, she's a smart person and doesn't do stupid things. ”
"Meng De burned the letter, the king of Chu is desperate, this situation should be like this. The crow smiled and said, "It is worthy of being a person from the Central Plains, and it has the legacy of the ancients." ”
"Mr. Raven. As if seeing the crow's signature smile, Mi Xin bowed in the direction of the crow and said loudly, "Am I doing the right thing?"
