Calais is still in chaos, every day people die inexplicably, every day there are changes between interest groups, it can be said that there is no chaos, and sometimes people forget why this chaos started, and just want it to end as soon as possible, but it seems that it will never stop. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, Sheng Xuan had already seen the mercenary city from a distance, the city where he had lived for a short time, but he couldn't get rid of the relationship after all.

Along the way, it can be said that the scenery is infinite, and Omar is divided into fifty-three provinces, which is naturally a few happy and a few sad, but Shengxuan is an exception. The Honorary Elder of this Temple, the First Class Lord of the Royal Family, the Medal of Divine Radiance and the Medal of Amethyst Lion, no matter which honor is appalling, although the honorary elder and the title of Lord have no real power, but they represent the favor of the two major forces, and the two medals are the concrete manifestation of honor.

With such a dazzling aura, he won the highest level of courtesy wherever he went, but I am afraid that this kind of treatment is only slightly lower than that of kings and popes. Of course, there is a reason for this, it is in this turmoil that everyone hopes to be able to climb up to this Omar upstart, the red man in the eyes of the two major forces, hoping that he can help with a few kind words at a convenient time, and they will get what they want.

For these courtesies, Sheng Xuan chose to accept them calmly, as for the good words, then I don't know if it was that year, he didn't plan to see the king and the pope again, if possible, he hoped to never see each other.

As for how much benefit he has gained, it can only be said that it is so much that he is not in the mood to calculate, now hundreds of thousands of orcs are bright in armor, and the wealth in Nashi is only afraid that it is no less than a rich principality, and the grain and grass are enough for these hundreds of thousands of troops to eat for several years.

But what Sheng Xuan wants to solve is not only these hundreds of thousands of mouths, but also the swamp and the entire orc race waiting to be fed. And so far this year, it has not rained, and I don't know how life is going for the swamp orcs.

The problem of food was enough for him to be upset, but with two large incomes back and forth, he felt a little confident in his heart. And the other annoying thing is that he didn't come up with it all the way. Mercenary City, why is it chaotic? What has become of it? How many secrets are there? Do those mercenaries really dare to fight against a huge empire?

No one answered these questions for him, so he had to look and listen to them on his own. But one thing is for sure, there must be the black hand of the little fox Julio behind this matter, and that is a treacherous guy who can squeeze oil out of his bones. That's why he didn't come back to see the other party.

The army was stationed outside the city, and Sheng Xuan only led his guards into the city slowly, cautious all the way to guard against sudden attacks. But until he entered the city, he didn't see the unexpected scene of flesh and blood flying everywhere, but it looked a lot more cold and tidy. Even the brawls that had been going on in the past were gone, almost making him think that he was in the wrong place.

"What the hell is going on?" Sheng Xuan looked at this unfamiliar scene, which was too different from what he expected, and he was a little overwhelmed for a while. But he knew that the only way to find out the truth was to go to Grena for now.

Seeing each other again after many days, they naturally had some thoughts, and after telling each other about their situation, Grena gave a detailed introduction to the situation in Mercenary City.

Since the revocation of the Duchy and the transformation of the province into a province, the road of the noble private army has been completely cut off. In the past, some mercenary groups supported by the principality were abandoned one after another, which made them lose the financial resources behind them, which was undoubtedly a heavy blow to those mercenary groups.

There are even rumors spreading everywhere that the royal family believes that mercenaries are always a hidden danger to Omar, and this time a city lord has been sent to completely ban the mercenaries and nationalize many resources of the Moon Dance Forest.

This is equivalent to cutting off the mercenary group's last financial route, which has caused some chaos, but it is far less serious than the rumors. The era of the principality has also become history, and it is unlikely that a major war will break out in a short period of time, after the royal family implements the provincial system, the merchants in various places are only afraid that it will be safer, and the future of the mercenaries is bleak.

However, several large mercenary groups wanted to take advantage of the chaos and jointly issued a proclamation that they planned to establish a free city-state based on the mercenary city, which means that they intended to break away from Omar's rule.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately attracted great attention from the royal family, and there was really conclusive news that the royal family had appointed a city lord, which immediately made the mercenary alliance boil, and some idle mercenaries also followed suit, which meant a big war.

But then I heard that it was you, and some people knew about your past, so they were afraid, after all, the orcs are famous for their combat power, and if they really want to fight, how can a few mercenary groups be able to resist it?

As your footsteps approach, more and more mercenary groups announced their disbandment, and those mercenaries began to look for their own way out, in my opinion, the mercenary era is over, if you want to continue to survive, the only way to survive is to take refuge in Calais or venture into the Moon Dance Forest to do some lowly work of collecting magic crystals and materials.

There are countless resources that Omar relies on in the Moon Dance Forest outside the mercenary city, and it would definitely be a heavy blow to Omar if they lose these resources, and it is reasonable to rumor that Omar wants to reclaim those mines and forests, but this is very different from the real situation.

"There must be someone behind this, it is true that I was appointed as the city lord, but I have never heard of forcibly occupying the resources of the Moon Dance Forest. Instead, the royal family promised me that Mercenary City would have autonomy, provided that the resources of the Moon Dance Forest were sold to Omar at a reasonable price. ”

"How could this be?" Hearing Sheng Xuan's words, Grena couldn't help but be surprised, this was completely different from what she had heard before, it could be said that it was a black and white upside down.

"That's the case, I have here the city lord's order signed by Nicholas himself, can it be fake? The reason why the royal family has such an attitude towards Mercenary City is to unite the orcs, after all, the harsh environment and high-intensity mining activities of the Moon Dance Forest can only be endured by orcs,

What's more, there are still a large number of orc slaves there, if Omar really wants to take it back, they don't know how to treat the mercenary group, after all, many mercenary groups have been the secret private army of the Grand Dukes, and they are not at ease with anyone.

Besides, they don't know what to do with those orc slaves, once they are given freedom, they will return to the swamp after all, and continue to enslave them but offend the orcs, so they simply pushed the matter to me, which solved the problem and won over the relationship, they are really a good calculation. ”

Hearing Sheng Xuan's complaints, Grena couldn't help but smile with disgust: "You, don't get cheap and sell well." ”

"How can it be cheap? Now that the mercenary group is ostensibly disbanded, but those mercenaries are used to licking blood with knives, do you let them retire to the countryside and cultivate the fields?

I'm afraid that sooner or later they won't be able to bear the loneliness, and they will do some desperate things, but Omar has completed the change of power, and I don't think those mercenaries should be stupid enough to enter the country to make trouble, so they can only make trouble in my mercenary city. With such a big sword hanging over my head, how can you let me pick up the bargain?"

Grena couldn't help but giggle after hearing this: "I didn't expect that our city lord would be less and less bold after this Qin Wang Gong. You can rest assured that even if they really have the heart to take risks, they will never dare to come around in the mercenary city. ”

"Oh?" Sheng Xuan just wanted to ask why, but suddenly remembered a few people, a few old people who seemed harmless to humans and animals. The reason why nothing drastic happened in Mercenary City was because it also had a deterrent effect on a few of them. "So what should I do now, according to my sister's wishes?"

Grena couldn't help but laugh when she heard this: "Mercenaries naturally have mercenary rules, instead of asking me, you might as well go to the mercenary union and take a look, maybe you will have the answer after this walk." ”

"Okay, I'll go check it out without further ado. Saying that, Sheng Xuan had already gotten up and walked out quickly, and Grena naturally followed.

The mercenary union has long been without the noise of the past, there are only three or two idle mercenaries chatting in the hall, seeing Sheng Xuan and the others coming in, they can't help but cast curious glances, someone recognizes Sheng Xuan's identity, and those mercenaries hurriedly ran away as if they saw the plague god.

Sheng Xuan wanted to stop them and ask what was going on, but Grena secretly pulled his sleeve, and then saw Qianqianyu pointing forward, and then saw that under the wide counter, Old Mino was bored playing chess with him.

Sheng Xuan came up with a smile, but the other party didn't pay attention to it at all, and after watching it for a long time, Sheng Xuan, who really didn't know anything about this Omar chess, had to be cheeky and stir up the game, and took a step casually with a chess piece, not wanting Lao Mino to show a fine light in his eyes.

"It turned out to be the head of the fallen leaves, oh no, now it should be called the city lord, I didn't expect the city lord to also study chess, why don't you play a game with the old man?"

"Where do I know what chess skills are, but I just took a random step when I ignored you. "Oh, that's even more lucky, no wonder the city lord has a prominent status in just a few years of hard work. ”

Sheng Xuan knew that he intended to tease him, so he simply messed up his chess pieces: "Can you borrow a step to talk to you if you have something?"

"Look at here, is there a purer place than this? There was a lot of resentment in his words, and Sheng Xuan was impatient to hear it, so he simply took out the momentum of the city lord: "Since this is the case, then we will do business and not talk about the slightest affection." ”

"Okay, I originally wanted to tell the city lord about the past, but it's a pity that people can't climb up with their words. "Hehe, okay, since that's the case, then I'm really going to talk to you about it. Sheng Xuan couldn't help but feel slightly angry when he saw that Old Maino was completely a hob meat style.

"Who encouraged me to sign that damn agreement when I first signed up for the mercenary group? Who made us irresistible to go to the Dark Canyon to fight for life and death? Who made it happen that we carried out the task of escorting the tax money? Who leaked the news in the end?"

"City Lord, you will let go of the old decay in large quantities, I think you also know, now the mercenary city is not as good as before, what are you still talking about?"

"Why can't you say it?Isn't this all a friendship between you and me?" "Hehe," Old Maino snorted and tried to fool the past, so he diverted the topic and said, "I wonder what purpose the city lord brought to deal with our poor mercenaries this time?"

"Dealing with you, now I'm afraid you're trying to find a way to deal with me, the city lord. ”

Old Mino couldn't help but wonder when he heard something in the words: "Oh, how do you say this?" "You don't know how to say it, then I'll tell you about it." ”

So Sheng Xuan told the truth what he had heard, and then took out the city lord's decree issued by the royal family, although the interests and disadvantages dictated by Nicholas would not be described in detail, but the rights and responsibilities of the city lord were clear.

After reading the city lord's order, Old Maino couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes: "What did you kid do to make the royal family trust you so much? I knew that Old 、、、、、、 also entered the king of Beijing with you, maybe he could also get a half-official position." ”

"Don't you have a half-official position now, what are you doing here?" Sheng Xuan said teasingly.

Old Mino rolled his eyes and gave him a roll of his eyes: "How can I have any official position? It's just an old man sweeping the floor." ”

"The president of the mercenary union, isn't enough for you?" "This is also scenery, compared to you, it's not even a scum." Besides, Mercenary City is already like this, is there still a need for this union to exist?"

After saying this, Old Maino suddenly felt wrong, he was just a deacon at the front desk of the trade union, when did he become the president?

"Did I say that I was going to disband the mercenary group? Those people are used to the mercenary life, what can they do if they don't become mercenaries? Do you really expect them to take a hoe with a hand that is used to a sword? I believe that as long as the city lord's order is announced, you good old man will come forward to appease you, and the mercenary group will soon all come back. When the time comes, won't those little mercenary groups be left to you to pinch and pound?"

"Hey, in your eyes, although I, the little deacon of the mercenary union, seems to be very oily, but in fact I am not a splint character?

And on weekdays, I don't dare to provoke those mercenary groups with a background, those who don't have a head are more fierce than the other, and they will use a knife to bleed at every turn, and they can't be provoked, and there is Julio, a little fox, who is calculating, and the tiger of the royal family is peeping at it in the distance, what kind of life do you say I am living here? I really want to go back to the countryside to get a piece of land and plant some radish and cabbage for the elderly. ”

"You're going to farm, and since it's your intention, I can't force it, so I have to hand over the position of president of the mercenary union to someone else, and it just so happens that some of my subordinates have nowhere to go." ”

Old Maino was anxious when he heard this, he finally understood what Sheng Xuan meant, which was to give himself the position of general, which was a great benefit, unlike the previous mercenary union, those presidents were all decorations for balancing the interests of the major forces,

I couldn't help but hurriedly said: "Don't, the relationship between the two of us, who else can I use if you don't need it?" Besides, who can know Mercenary City better than me?" "But you are tired of facing the life of mercenaries, I can't force you to suffer, although I can't bear it in my heart, I can only watch you go and be happy." ”

Seeing the intrigue between the two of them, Grena couldn't help but laugh: "Hehe, okay, Shengxuan, you don't play old Mino anymore, you may not know that he has a know-it-all nickname called Mercenary City,

There is nothing he doesn't know about the big and small matters in Mercenary City for thousands of years, and he has accumulated a lot of connections, and all mercenary groups of all sizes have to give him some face, but I'm afraid that if you want to settle Mercenary City, you really can't do without him. ”

"Hehe, okay, since my sister has already spoken, then I will be difficult for your old man again, but I don't know if you still sit in the chair of the president of the mercenary union?" "Sit down!" Old Mino regretted it a little as soon as he finished speaking, and said secretly: "Why are you so unbreathable? Let this stinky boy be put into it in a few words, I didn't think he was so thoughtful before, could it be that 、、、、、、 must have learned badly from those political sticks, it must be." ”
