Chapter 9: The Emperor's Break
Emperor Mercenary Regiment - A veteran mercenary group formed in the middle of the Divine Sleep Calendar. However, although the history is quite long, it is not easy in the mercenary world, but in fact, most of the time, this has always been an obscure mercenary group, and several times on the verge of disbanding.
It wasn't until the "Iron Hand Broken River" Guvostaff Lee became the head of the Emperor Break that the Emperor Broke the River developed from a medium-sized mercenary group to a large mercenary organization ranked second in Navia Mercena.
Guvostaff was also a man of great affection, showing far beyond the average human potential from an early age, and by the time he was 30 years old, he had already entered the ranks of high-ranking warriors. Guvostaff was particularly adept at fighting with his bare hands, and it is said that his palms could cut gold and iron, and even cut rivers. Therefore, he won the title of "Iron Hand Breaking River" in the mercenary world.
The evaluation of Guvostaff is mixed, and those who know him well or his subordinates think that he is generous and ambitious, and in the eyes of others, Guvostaff is a stubborn and extremely protective person, and some scholars even criticize him for having an orc-like view of survival - success and defeat.
Guvostaff believed that only the victors were entitled to applause, and that the strong deserved more privileges. This kind of thinking has attracted many followers who yearn for the strong, after all, in the mercenary system, people who advocate blood and worship the strong still account for the majority, but on the contrary, it is also this kind of thought, which makes Guvostaff a little out of line in his actions, which brings him a lot of enemies and obstacles.
And the most famous of them is none other than the mercenary group established by King Kaye - Folding Sword. It is said that at that time, Guvostaff even nearly lost his only son.
――"The Complete Analysis of the Mercenary Group, Mercenary Guild Secrets"
In the royal palace of Lionheart, Baines sat in the study where his brother used to spend most of his time, and a squire wearing a plain black hooded cloak fell to one knee and reported his mission.
The back of his entire cloak was stamped with an exaggerated, burning ancient stone door. He hung his head down, and his broad hood just obscured his face, making it impossible to see.
"My lord, the bait has all been released, and we have also issued a mission in the Mercenary Guild, and all places have now lost patience due to the flood of counterfeiters, and will no longer review their identities. Moreover, according to the adult, the official announcement is to identify the prince through Augustine, but now that Augustine is just over two months away from his coming-of-age date, Augustine's potential should still be in the dormant period, so even if the real prince appears, it will only be regarded as an impostor. ”
"Well done, but don't be careless, this time is the most critical, continue to find Kaye's whereabouts, and if you find him, bring him back......" Baines paused. "Don't hurt him. ”
............
Inside Vala Prison......
Kaye, who understood the situation in front of him, also dissipated his grudge against the green-haired knight in an instant, thinking that the two of them must have taken on the task of capturing the fake prince, but in the end they ended up in prison with him, the real thing, which was really tricky.
"I'm Kaye, what's your name?"
"Oh, Kaye, you still think of yourself as a prince! What a stubbornness, I tell you, you ......."
Before the green-haired knight could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the red-haired knight on the side. "My name is Kent, and he is my twin brother, named Sain. Just by looking at their looks, such an answer was already expected. But to be honest, even in terms of the tone of his voice, unlike Sain's lazy rules, Kent has always felt reliable and trustworthy.
"Brother, why are you talking to him about this?" said the green-haired Sain dissatisfied, seeing Kent and Kaye introduce themselves.
"I believe there must be a reason for him, a person with bad intentions, it is impossible for a person with bad intentions to keep an eye on the civilians around him when he makes a move, right? ”
When Kaye was passively attacking just now, he noticed that there were even children among the civilians around him, so he deliberately controlled the restraint, but he didn't expect this detail to be noticed by the silent red-haired knight.
"In any case, we don't know each other. Whatever you think, all I can say is that I'm not lying to you, my name is Kaye. Kaye said, holding out his hand in a gesture of friendship.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Kaye. Kent said, holding out his hand as well, and then looked at Sain.
Sain muttered dissatisfied, but because of his brother's gaze, he had to stretch out his hand, he slapped Kaye's palm and said, "Remember to get acquainted in the future, your big brother Sain should look at you pitifully and cover you, you can join our sword and shield mercenary group when you go out, with your strength, it's not a big problem to be an errand runner." ”
Looking at Sain's duplicity and knife-mouthed tofu heart-to-heart way of speaking, Kaye couldn't help but purse the corners of his mouth, what an interesting twin brother.
At this moment, a sound of footsteps of varying severity sounded in the corridor of the prison, and I saw a young man with a slightly round face, a pale face but a high toe came to the prison room with several guards.
Originally, this young man looked quite pleasing to the eye, but once he saw his obedient and flamboyant demeanor and his complexion, which was too drunk at first glance, it really made people unable to rise to a good impression.
"Jack, go and say hello to Lancelot's people, I'll take a few people and interrogate them well, which can be regarded as helping him lighten his burden, let him send me a few maids. Suddenly, the pompous young man seemed to think of something and said again. "Well... I said that it would be nice if that nasty guy didn't help, and my father told me to stay away from him for the time being, and not to provoke him. Hum... When my father replaces the guy, I'll clean him up slowly!" he said, casually ordering Kaye and the impostors in the cell next to him.
"Take them all away, and each one of them claims to be the prince of Bledsoe. Hehe... I really wanted to try and try what it was like to beat up the people of the Ryan royal family. ”
"Stop!Wande, do you want to rob the prison?!" Seeing that the young man and his entourage were moving more and more excessively, a guard not far away couldn't help but walk up.
"Oh, is that so?" said Wonder Lee, who kicked out unguarded, and the guards were caught off guard, kicking him bent over, clutching his abdomen and kneeling on the ground retching.
"Then I'll just abide by the rules, so that others don't keep saying that our emperor mercenary group is domineering. He reached out, patted the guard on the cheek, tore the key to the cell from his waist, and shook it in front of his eyes. "Look, we're going to open the door very well, so I'll ask you to say hello to Lancelot afterwards. I don't think I need to talk about such a trivial matter!"
Wonder Lee was talking to himself, not waiting for the guards to respond at all, and directly asked people to open the cell. "Huh, there are two twins here, let's take the people in this cell with us, and keep the rest for two days later." In this way, not long after Kaye and the three entered the cell, they were inexplicably taken out.
......
Kaye and his fellow "cellmates" in the same cell were taken to a mercenary colony in the suburbs of the city, and when they walked through the door, Kaye paid special attention to it, and saw a strange sign that looked like clouds and waves was engraved on the door.
The group was taken straight to a large school yard, where some mercenaries were practicing, and when they saw Wonder Lee bringing people over, they all looked at Kaye and his "cellmates" with a gloating look.
"The young master is back looking for sandbags again, and they are a group of unlucky people who deserve it, look at their stupid appearance. ”
"You don't understand this, haven't you heard that many people have been pretending to be Bledsoe's prince lately? Look at those blond haired people, they are obviously liars!
"I heard that the young master is about to be promoted to the middle level of Oude recently, and he is only 18 years old, which is really amazing. ”
"Then you don't need to look at who our head is! Tiger fathers don't have dogs!"
Kaye listened to the sporadic whispers of the people around him, and thought to himself as if he had reached a troublesome place again. Vala is a city that I really don't want to come to again, just out of the tiger's den and into the wolves, when will it be a head.
Just as Kaye was in a trance, Wonder Lee stopped and turned to them. "Hey, you incompetent and despicable deceivers, are you glad that Young Master Ben took you out of prison now? If you think so, then I warn you that you rejoice too soon!Do you know where this is?" Wonder Lee sneered at Prince Bledsoe's regiment as he raised his hand and looked around.
"Emperor Break, Emperor Break, Only Emperor Unbreaked!" The surrounding mercenaries liked this scene the most, and they shouted and heckled together, and the sound caused for a while was like a huge wave slapping towards the "Prince Bledsoe".
Most of the people in the "prince's group" trembled under such a scene, and they always felt as if they had entered a beast's den, and two of them were cowardly, and they had even sat down on the ground. Only Kaye and Kent remained silent, as if nothing had happened, as for Sain...... He gouged his ears nonchalantly, and then yawned leisurely, as if disgusted that the voice was too quiet.
Wonder Lee smiled with satisfaction, pressed his hands down, and the mercenaries' cries slowly stopped. He spoke, "Now you know, right? This is the Emperor Broken Mercenary Regiment, a place where only the strong can survive. Now, I'm going to give you such a chance, either to support yourself under my attack, or to be a sparring partner in our mercenary group for half a month, as long as you don't fall to the ground in the end, even if you succeed, you can leave immediately without going back to prison, but if you fail, please be a sparring partner. Of course, it's the kind that makes human sandbags...... So, now, let's get started!"
As soon as the words fell, he rushed to the nearest golden mid-hair "Kaye", a roundabout kick, the person was directly kicked into the air, spun in half a circle in the air, fell heavily to the ground, rolled his eyes and fainted motionless......
