Chapter 63: Secret Discussion
The staff of the Mercenary Guild thought about it and thought that it would be better to save themselves trouble, so they handed over the roster.
Viscount Bruno flipped through a few pages with his cane, skimmed through it a little, pointed to a name and said, "Goddess Mercenary Regiment?" β
The staff of the Mercenary Guild explained helplessly: "This mercenary group is all female ** soldiers, they are mainly responsible for protecting the safety of the families of those merchants, if you want to hire them, you have to queue up slowly." Their contracts have been signed for six years. β
"Oh, that's right. What about this group of brave mercenaries next to me? I hope they are all brave warriors, and I don't want to be a cowardly fool. β
"Sorry, Mr. Viscount. The staff member shook his head and said, "They received a particularly tricky task more than ten days ago, and they haven't come back yet." β
"Oh, I guess I had bad luck today. Viscount Bruno's face showed a slight look of disappointment, and he casually flipped through the roster with his cane, and soon turned to the last page.
"Ryan, Ryan's mercenary group. Viscount Bruno's tone was a little different, and he said to himself: "Aren't all mercenary groups now known for a loud name? This Ryan seems to be just one person's name." β
"Yes, Mr. Viscount. This Ryan mercenary group was established by a young man just ten days ago, and so far, they have not taken on a mission. β
"No matter, it's him. This name makes me feel very intimate, I haven't seen this real mercenary group name for a long time, and the current mercenary group, whether it has strength or not, wants to think of an earth-shattering name, it's really disgusting. I hope the leader of this mercenary group is a young man that I admire. β
"All right, Mr. Viscount. This young man named Ryan is over there, huh!" Speaking of this, the staff pointed to Ryan, who was sitting there, with his hand: "Do you want me to accompany you?"
Waving his cane slightly, Viscount Bruno shook his head and said, "No need, I want to see him in person." Caliph, come with me. β
Although the place where Ryan sat was a little far away from where Viscount Bruno was talking, the entire mercenary guild hall was not very noisy, and he heard everything that Viscount Bruno and the staff said just now. In the first part, he just listened casually, and the sound reached his ears, and he couldn't stop his ears. But who knows, speaking of which, that Viscount Bruno actually chose his own mercenary group, which made Ryan inexplicably surprised, could it be that his luck was so good?
When Viscount Bruno walked up to Ryan with his servant, Ryan stood up politely and said hello. This action made Viscount Bruno suddenly have a good impression of Lane: "Oh, a polite young man, not bad, really good. It's rare to have such a young man now, are you Ryan?"
"Yes, sir. β
"Will you escort me back to my territory? I can pay fifteen gold coins for about three days' journey. β
Ryan thought about it, it stands to reason that this kind of escort mission will not find a mercenary group like him, but since he has this opportunity today, and he has nothing to do, he might as well take it, presumably with his own strength and Allendo's strength, he can still escort them thoroughly.
However, Ryan was still ready to ask first, if Viscount Bruno was just a few people in his own group, it would be absolutely fine, but if he brought a whole team, Ryan would not be able to do anything.
"I would venture to ask, how many people do you have?"
"Ha, careful young man. Viscount Bruno nodded and said, "There are only two carriages, one of my servants, the caliph, and two chariot drivers, who are also hired by me." You still have companions, do you? Call them all up, and make sure I'm safe. β
After receiving an affirmative reply from Bruno, Ryan decided to take the task, and with a smile on his face, he said happily, "I am willing to serve you, Mr. Viscount." I have two companions, and they live in the pride of the lion king, so I will go and fetch them. β
"Okay, I'll be waiting for you here. Hopefully we can go today. β
Ryan nodded, and walked out quickly.
Old Mike saw Ryan take over this task, and pointed behind his back and whispered: "You see, he is just a level 1 mercenary group, and he is so unscrupulous that he directly asked someone to issue a level 3 mission for him." Alas, a nobleman also joined in, and the world is just too crazy. β
This sentence made Ryan, who walked to the door, almost fall on his head, what is this and what.
ββΓββΓββΓββΓββΓββΓββNorth Talon Prairie, Beast Blood Castle.
This is the front line of the orc's attack on Thor, as early as fifty years ago, when the Brute Bear clan seized the supremacy of the orcs, the construction of the city began, and it has never stopped for fifty years. The city has no permanent residents, and the whole city is piled up with rough stones on the open savannah, and you can imagine how much effort it took the orcs to build such a city.
The city was full of barracks and granaries, and there were no other buildings unrelated to the war, and according to the original plan, it was supposed to be able to accommodate at least 500,000 orc troops and store enough food for 500,000 people for a year. In order to avoid the threat of humans, the orcs are far away from the Thor Fortress in their main habitats, and if they go on an expedition, when they go to the Thor Fortress, they will already become tired soldiers, and they have already lost in terms of physical strength and momentum.
Therefore, the city took on the responsibility of a transit point and a rear base camp, and this time all the orc armies that were preparing to attack Thor's Fortress would be temporarily stationed here, and when all the troops were gathered, they would set off together to attack Thor's Fortress. During the war, all the food will be transported from here to the front. As long as they hold this place, even if the battle is lost, with the response here, the orcs will not lose too much.
The matter of the Beast Emperor's slaughter of the entire Fengpeng clan, under the conscious arrangement of the prophet Evan, has been transmitted to every corner of the Northern Tallon prairie by a large number of messengers riding white gray-toothed wolves. In order to prevent their clans from suffering the same blow, the patriarchs of these clans secretly sent henchmen to recall the "seeds" hiding outside and sent them to the Beast Blood Castle in a steady stream. Under these circumstances, the Beast Emperor and the Prophet Evan estimated that there would be only more than 600,000 orc alliances, reaching an unprecedented 880,000.
Far beyond the expected number of horrors gave Prophet Evan a headache for a few days, because according to the original plan, all the troops would rest in the Beast Blood Fortress for a while, and then after recovering the physical strength consumed by the long journey, the army began to storm the Thor Fortress, but now the number of people far exceeded the estimate, and the food hoarded in the Beast Blood Fortress began to be nervous.
In desperation, the Prophet Evan issued an order for the logistics force to step up the delivery of food from all over the Northern Talon Prairie, and sent more scouts to strengthen intelligence gathering on Thor's fortress and its surrounding environment, which may have aroused the idea of the human defenders, but it was not so much.
The Beast Emperor Andreas and the Prophet Evan hastened their preparations for war against the Thor Fortress, and all kinds of undisguised actions made the three major orc clan chiefs who were second only to the Brute Bear Clan smell the imminent smell of blood. For the sake of the future of the clan, at the invitation of the patriarch of the Black Eagle Clan, the three powerful clan leaders of the Wild Leopard Clan and the Giant Snake Clan finally sat down together and began to study the future of their clansmen.
Alexandra, the patriarch of the Black Eagle Clan with a gloomy face, said viciously: "More than 100,000 people of the Fengpeng Clan, just like this, have they been wiped out? 40,000 elite archers, how much of a role can they play in the next siege battle, you don't know, right? The big war is imminent, and they actually slaughtered their own people, if you want me to say, this is the manifestation of collaborating with the enemy!"
The patriarch of the Wild Leopard Clan, Anacissta, whose muscles had swelled to an incredible extent, said angrily: "If you want to talk about Feng Peng, what the Beast Emperor has done is too obvious, even if Elvis of Feng Peng has disobeyed Andreas's orders for so many years, at most let all the 30,000 most elite soldiers under him die under the Thor Fortress, why destroy the clan?"
"What are you talking about!" Alexandra, the patriarch of the Black Eagle Clan, was dissatisfied with the words of Anacista, the patriarch of the Leopard Clan, and he said angrily: "He is the ruler of the Orcs, but he can't slaughter the clansmen of other clans at will." This time, shouldn't our three most powerful clans say a word of justice for this matter?"
The more Alessandra, the patriarch of the Black Eagle Clan, spoke, the more excited he became, he even stood up and waved his hands in the air: "If this time our three strongest clans ignore this, then who would dare to come out of the other small clans? If we don't take a stand, do we just sit back and wait for the Beast Emperor to blatantly exclude dissidents? Hmph, we just watched Andreas expand the strength of the brute bear step by step, and when the army of the brute bear overwhelmed the territory one day, I am afraid that we will no longer be able to find someone who can speak for us!"
