Chapter IX Transactions
Under the light of the golden lion, almost all of them will be dull. is not only because of his sun-god-like appearance, illustrious background, and strong strength, but also because of his kingly demeanor, like spring breeze and rain, which makes people's hearts break.
The black flame behind Ophirok burned silently. Even the glow of the golden lion could not be concealed. The face in the flames is beautiful and arrogant, making people dare not stare at it, but it is engraved in their hearts. A few aristocratic scum glanced at each other from time to time, and looked away busily, as if their eyes were burned by the black flames. The black mage robe can't hide the peerless Fengliu, the straight legs, the plump buttocks, the slender willow-like waist, and the chest that bulges with a thrilling arc, all the time, are turning people into beasts.
Rogge, Lens, Franco, and Ette sat a little cramped, and the sudden visit of the Golden Lion was a surprise. Several people hurriedly beckoned Ophorok to sit down and ordered the best refreshments to be served.
The golden lion took a sip of tea, and his leisurely movements were not flawless. Richard, the guard, opened a small pocket and poured out dozens of small gems of various colors on the table in front of everyone.
Ofirok said with a smile: "I came this time to talk about the possible surname of the partnership. Suddenly there was a fall in the room. "These gems are worth about 50,000 gold coins, even if it's my deposit. ”
Rogge finally took his eyes off the gem, calmed down and said, "What you can't do, we seem to be able to do." As soon as the words came out, Lance pounced on him and covered Rogge's mouth, "Don't pay attention to him, if you have anything to do, I will not hesitate to do so!" His mouth was impassioned, but his eyes were fixed on Elesis.
Ophiroc looked at a few aristocratic scum with great interest, and he hadn't found anyone who dared to stare at Elesis like this, he was really ignorant and fearless. Lens's eyes began to glow with lust. Opirok clearly felt that the murderous aura behind him was spreading.
"Of course, my cooperation is also conditional. Opirok gestured, and a man behind him placed a large parchment map on the table. He pointed to a castle sign in the center and said, "This is a small abandoned castle, the domain of my Duchy of Bavaria, which has recently been occupied by a group of thieves. The castle is 415 miles southwest of Falburg. Less than 10 miles next to it is the Demon Forest, although the geographical location is not important, but there are two small towns and dozens of villages nearby, I don't want to give up my thousands of people, so I need you to take this castle back. The 50,000 gold coins of jewelry is your starting fund, but I don't care if you go by yourself or if you pick up a brigade of heavy knights and then go. The entrustment period is half a year. ”
Opirok continued, "As soon as you take that castle, I will ask my father to give you that land. From now on, you will be nobles with fiefdoms. And I will invest 100,000 gold coins in the Hammer of the God of War, counting the principal of my entry. I want half of the proceeds, hehe. ”
Several people were full of excitement when they heard this, and immediately gathered around and began to study the map, but naturally they didn't come up with a reason for half a day. Opirok kept smiling and watching, and one of the guards behind him faintly revealed disdain.
Ette suddenly raised his head and asked, "We don't have a single soldier, how can we defeat a group of thieves?"
Elesis said coldly, "Do you think about it now?" Edden's face flushed. Ophirok still replied unhurriedly: "That thief group is actually a brigade of the Ice and Snow Silver Fox Mercenary Regiment of the Duchy of Ron, with about 500 people, and its combat effectiveness is very good. Of course, in the past six months, they may continue to increase their troops. ”
Rogge pondered for a moment and asked, "Whether these thieves or mercenaries, they shouldn't be in the eyes of the golden lion." If you go there once, you can scare them away by scaring them alone. ”
The golden lion smiled faintly and said, "This is just a small test. If you do, I hope the Grand Duchy of Bavaria will have more loyal generals. ”
The pupils in Franco's eyes immediately narrowed: "Duchy of Bavaria?"
"Yes, the Duchy of Bavaria. ”
The temperature in the air drops dramatically, and a silent undercurrent surges.
Lens was unusually serious. "The Duchy of Bavaria is full of soldiers, and the strong are like clouds. It's His Excellency Opirok's subordinates, and it's not easy to clean up a few of us. Although a few of us are very uncompetitive, we still have this bit of self-knowledge. Besides, the brothers don't have any big ambitions, they drink every day, play with girls, and have a comfortable time. You're not short of a few of us, are you?"
Ophiroc glanced at a few aristocratic scum and said, "I very much appreciate the fight you fought in the 'Old Oak' tavern, and I think a few of them are manufacturable. Moreover, in a short period of time, the hammer of the god of war is so prosperous, naturally it will not be achieved out of nothing. If you govern a big country, you can cook a small fresh. From governing the world to managing a weapon, it is nothing more than grasping the hearts of the people. ”
He paused and continued: "If you want to live in a short period of time, the wine needs to be mellow, and the sword needs to be famous, that is, to compete for the wind and jealousy, and to compete for a world-famous beauty." A mediocre woman, even if there are tens of millions, how can she smile at the city? Now as long as she passes the small test, the opportunity is in front of you, what do you think?"
The blood of everyone was boiling in an instant!
Rogge jerked his head up and looked into the golden lion's eyes, not flinching even though the light stung his eyes. "I did it. Rogge said word for word.
Franco sighed, "Well, how can I let you die alone, I'll have to get your money back after you die." ”
"It's a pleasure to meet beauties all over the world!" Lens was imposing. The room was immediately filled with sourness.
Ette sat heavily on the chair, and before he could say anything, the chair couldn't stand it and fell apart. Ette smiled, embarrassed to say anything more.
"So, I'll wait for good news. Opirok waved his hand and turned to leave.
Elesis stopped abruptly and stared coldly at a few aristocratic scum. Several people immediately felt chills all over their bodies, and in an instant, they shivered, but found that their bodies could not move. Elysis sneered, black flames flashed, and the bodies of several aristocratic scum were slowly lifted into the air, and a cold voice sounded in her ears: "I don't know why Opirok values you so much. With your current strength, you are not much different from a reptile, even in a few years, how strong will you be? Besides, even a few clowns of yours dare to look at me with that kind of eyes!!" I didn't hear her chanting a mantra, and suddenly a huge palm appeared on each of the four people's heads, slamming several of them to the ground.
Elesis turned away, Black Flame jumping, as if still mocking the few people who couldn't get up on the ground.
Several people slowly calmed down and looked at each other, and Ette asked, "Rogge, why did you agree so quickly just now?" Rogge's old face turned red: "Ophirok is a powerful faction, one of the best nobles in the alliance, and he is known as a candidate, it is rare for people to look up to us so much, how can there be such an opportunity." The rest of the people felt the same way. As for the possible treason of Offirok, Rogge and the others did not care, even if they really rebelled, the Duchy of Bavaria had a better chance of winning. After all, Opherok's mother was the sister of the Austro-Constitutional Emperor, one of the three great powers.
"Maybe you can get a founding hero or something. Lance, who was dreaming in vain, said suddenly. And the crowd thought so. As for Kate, "Blessed to share, you can escape this kid." Etter said sinisterly.
"The more people we bring this time, the better, I think we should also organize a mercenary group, so that the officials can explain it." Franco suggested. A few people thought about it again and began to act separately.
As the days passed, Rogge and the others recruited troops and bought horses, and they were very happy. The Hammer of the God of War has already received more than 20,000 gold coins in the past few months, and with the 50,000 gold coins of Ophirok, it can equip a cavalry team of 100 people. Either openly or secretly, Rogge got 30 skilled mercenaries within a month, and the mercenary group was initially organized. As for the name of the mercenary group, several people made a lot of noise, and finally passed the name of "Dragon and Beauty" by a vote of 4:1. The vote against Franco, the only nobleman with a true taste for art, was left alone.
But what kept Rogge at a loss was intelligence. The exact number of thieves, their leaders, abilities, and equipment that occupied that small castle so far are unknown. Even the terrain around there is not very clear. This is not to blame them, after all, a few guys have just debuted, and they don't know where to start with intelligence. After the two scouts sent in succession were silent, several of them began to fidget. After several deliberations, it was finally decided to take all the men and horses to scout once.
