Chapter 105 Reward

"Pat, you go and get Jim's mercenaries here, and besides, you go and bring two more mercenaries who surrendered, I have something to ask them. Lorist said.

"Yes, sir. Pat turned and walked over to the mercenaries who had gathered with the Flying Feather mercenaries who had surrendered in the distance.

Jim's twenty mercenaries assisted Pat in bringing two captives over, and to Lorliste's surprise, the closer these mercenaries got to him, the more serious their expressions and movements became, as if there was something special respectful.

"What's wrong with you?" Lorist asked Jim.

Jim pointed to the corpses of the two golden-rank shield guards lying not far away, and added the corners of his mouth: "My lord, they, they..."

"Aren't they? Aren't they just two gold-level shield guards? By the way, Jim, why are there so many more people in this flying feather mercenary group? You haven't mentioned these two gold-level shield guards. Lorist was a little dissatisfied. At the beginning, when arranging the plan, neither these mercenaries nor Steward Boris mentioned that the Flying Feather Mercenary Group had two gold-level shield guards, they only said that the Flying Feather Mercenary Group was one of the three most famous mercenary groups in the Iberian Kingdom, with more than ten silver-level masters, and their strength was second to none. Butler Boris didn't know the details of the Flying Feather Mercenary Group, but these mercenaries were eating in the mercenary world, so it was a little strange that they didn't know about it.

"No, sir. Jim was a little anxious, for fear that Lorist would misunderstand: "We didn't know they were back, we haven't heard from them for more than a year." Occasionally, when I met and asked in the tavern, the white-haired Adams, the head of the regiment, said that they had gone to learn from a teacher, and he didn't say where they went. We didn't care, we were so busy eating that no one cared where they really went. So we didn't count them in the list of the Flying Feather Mercenary Regiment. ”

"You mean to say that these two Gold-Tier Shield Guardians are famous?"

"Yes, sir. These two shield guards are the very famous twin shield guards in the royal capital of Windbri City, they are twin brothers, the elder brother is a fire attribute Dou Qi, and the younger brother is a water attribute Dou Qi. It is said that because the two brothers are twins, they are born with telepathic abilities, that is, they have an extreme tacit understanding between the two without speaking, and the fighting attributes of the two brothers are very complementary. In the first two years, when the two brothers were still silver and three-star, they teamed up against two gold-level opponents, and dragged those two gold-level opponents to collapse alive, and finally escaped and were killed by one of their two brothers. Fight to fame and fame. ”

The two brothers were orphans who were discovered by Captain Adams at the age of eleven or twelve, and took them in as adopted sons. It took a lot of effort to train the brothers. I just heard from a few friends from the Flying Feather Mercenary Group that the two brothers had been living in seclusion for more than a year in order to break through and be promoted to the Golden Rank. Two months ago, he just joined the Flying Feather Mercenary Group, and then competed with the great swordsman named Lu Yinsi under the second prince in the royal capital, and fought fiercely for more than 300 rounds before losing due to lack of strength. The second prince admired them very much, and wanted to hire them as escorts with a high salary, but they refused. This is the first time in a year and a half that they have been on a mission with the Flying Feather Mercenary Group, and they can't imagine that they will be given and killed by adults here......"

The more Jim spoke, the more nervous he became, and he stuttered a little. If seeing is believing, he would never believe that the Twin Shieldguards, who were famous in the Iberian Kingdom, had just become two corpses lying on the ground, or after the two brothers had been promoted to the Gold Rank. At the beginning, Jim's mercenaries surrendered because of Joske's magic arrow, and because Josk was a golden rank, they surrendered because they were not opponents. Except for Joske, these surrendered mercenaries did not take the lord of Lorist seriously, they thought that the lord of Lorist was only a black iron order, and if it were not for the golden archer of Joske, it would be impossible to occupy the castle site they guarded.

Now these twenty mercenaries have come to understand that the seemingly inconspicuous Lorist is a terrifying existence like a dragon, not to mention these two gold-level shield guards, just look at him walking around in the melee, but one by one the flying feather mercenaries died under his one move and two styles, and the attack was extremely ruthless, which made the mercenaries frightened. Especially in the final battle against Commander Adams, in just one round, the two silver ranks of Jim and Pat were killed all over the body, and the head of Adams, who was struggling to parry, was beheaded and made these mercenaries understand the gap in strength between themselves and Lorlist, so they were so cautious and respectful when they came over.

"Well, these two brothers are very powerful, no wonder they were able to entangle me for so long, and it took a lot of effort to clean them up. Loris nodded, ignoring what he said, the mercenaries next to him were so thundered that they wanted to fall to the ground, this is very powerful, the two of them can fight with the great swordsman for three hundred rounds, but they can only entangle you for less than half an hour, and they were killed by you. Aren't you more powerful than the Great Swordsman?" the mercenaries looked at Lorist with strange eyes.

"Jim, I have to thank you for reaching out to us when we were at a disadvantage in our battle with the Feather Mercenaries, and I thank you on behalf of the Norton family. I have decided to double your bounty as a token of our family's gratitude. Sedercamp, go to the treasury and get a batch of Kingford, and give each mercenary twenty. Lorist said.

"Yes, sir. Sedcamp hurried away, and the mercenaries who heard Lorlist's words were overjoyed, and let out low cheers and exchanged excitedness. No one expected Lorist to be so generous, they were a little ashamed to attack the Flying Feather mercenaries at the beginning, but they felt that it was worth it.

"Also, I'd like to ask. Lorist said, "Jim, would you like to join our Norton family and become my knight?"

There was a sudden silence as everyone looked at Jim.

Jim's face flushed, and he looked back at his companions, some of the mercenaries had envy in their eyes, and in their opinion, being a family knight of a territorial nobility was the best destination for mercenaries. Some mercenaries don't think so, they think that the Norton family is in internal and external difficulties, obviously has no future, and it is better to be a mercenary than to join such a family. There are also some mercenaries who are jealous in their eyes, and everyone also helps, why only invite you, it's too unfair.

Jim lowered his head and thought for a long time, and when he raised his head again, his expression was firm: "My lord, I'm just a mercenary, and now I just want to complete the adult's commission first......"

Lorist was a little regretful, but still waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I understand your feelings." But since I've sent out an invitation, the doors of the Norton family are always open for you, ready to welcome you. ”

"Thank you, sir......" Jim bowed deeply.

"What about you, would you like to join the Norton family?" Lorist looked at the nineteen mercenaries.

After a while, six mercenaries walked out: "My lord, I would like to serve you. ”

Lorist was very happy: "Welcome to your joining, I look forward to your meritorious service to the family and become a family knight as soon as possible." ”

Six mercenaries: one silver star, four black iron, and two bronze ranks. Being willing to join at this time is undoubtedly a big addition to the family's strength with huge losses.

Then Sedkamp came with a chest, and in the box were twenty small leather money bags containing twenty goldfords. Lorist was pleased with the thoughtfulness of Sederkamp's handling and ordered the bounty to be sent out. However, the silver-starred mercenary proposed that he had become a soldier of the Norton family, and it was natural to serve the family, so there was no need to pay a bonus.

Lorist smiled: "Take it, the Norton family is not short of this money, this is the reward before you join the family, you must score clearly." It should be given to you as your reward, and after you have taken it, you should go and rest, and I will greet you again if there is something to do. ”

The mercenaries took the bounty and left happily in twos and threes, and some of them poured out gold coins from their money bags as they walked, counting them a few times and were reluctant to put them away. It's just that Jim hasn't gone yet, and he seems to have something to say to Lorlist.

Lorist noticed Jim's apprehension and asked, "What's wrong?" Jim, have you changed your mind?"

Jim replied respectfully: "My lord, I want to intercede for them, they know us and are also our friends, they didn't make a move against your people when they fought just now, and they have been fighting with us perfunctorily. Later, when the adults came, they surrendered early. I begged your lord to spare them and let me take them to fulfill the commission they had given us. ”

Lorist touched his chin and thought for a moment, and said cheerfully, "Well, since they didn't cause losses to our Norton family, then I can let them go." For your sake, I will allow you to take them away, and I will give them the same conditions as yours, do you think it will be okay?"

"Thank you, my lord, for your kindness and generosity, and I thank you on their behalf. "Jim was very grateful.

"Wait, I'll ask them a few more questions. Lorist beckoned the two surrendered Feather Mercenaries to come in front of him.

There are only two questions to ask Lorlist, which are very straightforward.

The first question is why Commander Adams would want to resist when his men are trapped in traps, surrounded by them, and threatened by crossbows defending the city? They are not a regular army, nor are they a lord's family arm, and they should be like Jim and them, thinking about their own lives, rather than letting the mercenaries of the Flying Feather Mercenary Group fight hard.

The answer of the two Flying Feather Mercenaries is very simple, because this time to transport supplies to the Northlands, before leaving, the head of the Kenmax family promised Adams that as long as the Flying Feather Mercenary Group can assist Viscount Kenmax to make the Norton family submit, the Kenmax family is willing to canonize a baron to the head of Adams, and divide a piece of land from the territory of the surrendered Norton family as the fief of Baron Adams. After all, the Norton family's territory is too big, and it is no problem to divide it into four or five baronies. After the head of Adams obtained the title of baron and the domain, he became a vassal lord of the Kenmas family. And the head of Adams also promised his members that when he became the new lord noble, he would accept his members as family knights and family arms. That's why Adams and his crew are so desperate.

After listening to the answers of the two Flying Feather Mercenaries, Lorist didn't know what to say, the Kenmas family was really calculating, and used the territory of the Norton family to draw a big pie for this Adams regiment, no wonder the Flying Feather Mercenary Regiment worked so hard to cause such heavy casualties to their guards and guards. Paralyzed, the Kenmath family is really worthy of being a veteran merchant family!

The second question is whether it is true that Commander Adams was chatting with Jim under the city and said that the Kenmas family had recruited retired officers and soldiers in the royal capital of Windbrie and formed a family army of 2,000 men.

The two Flying Feather mercenaries both said that this was true, and one of the older ones said that there was an inside story about it, and that the family armed force established by the Kenmath family had the tacit approval and support of the second prince. At that time, these flying feather mercenaries talked to Captain Adams about this, and they were worried that this force would affect Adams's future status in the Kenmasse family. Adams said that there was no need to worry about this, the second prince supported the Kenmice family to set up this family armed force in order to block the Duke of Lukins, the Grand Duke of the Northland, and the Kenmasse family on the one hand and the second prince made a false relationship, and on the other hand, they sent someone to express their allegiance to the Grand Duke of Lukins, hoping that the Grand Duke of the Northland could let this family army of 2,000 people enter the Northland, and it is still in the middle of a fight.

Lorist's third question asks for information about the castle of the Red River Valley Manor in the Viscount of Kenmeth, its defenses and guards, and the situation of that immigrant town.

The Flying Feather Mercenary Regiment rested at the Red River Valley Manor Castle for more than ten days before escorting the convoy of supplies to the castle construction site here, because it took them a month to get all the way from the royal capital to the Northland. The two Flying Feather Mercenaries knew a lot about the situation in the Red River Valley Manor Castle and the immigrant town, and they answered all questions, which made Lorist very satisfied.

After waving his hand to signal the mercenary Jim to bring back the two surrendered Flying Feather mercenaries, Lorist looked at Josk and Pat: "Joe, Pat, do you still have the strength?"

"My lord, please tell me something. Joske and Pat said they were still in good spirits.

"You all heard the words of those two flying feather mercenaries just now, and now the territory of the Kenmasse family is very empty, and the castle of the Red River Valley Manor is in an undefended state. There was only a garrison of about 100 people in the immigrant town, and there were no walls there. It would be rude to come and not come to our Norton family, so I decided to give you two a visit and give you an hour to prepare, and bring a group of men with you, and then bring the guards who were wielding the crossbows of the castle guards, and some unharmed guards. If they are tired, bring some wagons and let them rest on them. After occupying the manor castle and the immigrant town in the Red River Valley, he sent me a letter, moving what should be moved, and transporting what should be transported. I'm going to turn it into a scorched earth and empty the Kenmax family's basket of water. Lorist said through gritted teeth.

"Yes, my lord, we understand. ”
