Chapter 32 Recruitment of Mercenaries

"Captain, it seems that a nobleman has come recently, and he should be a military nobleman when he moves."

"Lawson, what do you mean?" Sylvia narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Maybe we can go and see if he needs help." Rosen shrugged his shoulders, his thick muscles shuddering as he moved.

"Heh, it's also an opportunity, you can find a chance to contact them." Sylvia shook his head, but didn't refuse, though he knew it might not stand a chance.

"No, maybe we can talk about it now." At this moment, a strong voice came, causing Sylvia and Lawson's faces to change drastically.

"Boom!"

The sound of the sword unsheathed was crisp, but Sylvia and Lawson were already unsheathed in the blink of an eye, staring dead in the direction of the comer.

"Hehe, don't be nervous, I'm Kevin, Sir Carr's military chief." Kevin chuckled, unaware that the two swords were already aimed at him.

"Sir Karl's military governor?" Sylvia frowned slightly.

"The nobleman who came recently seems to be called Carl Dias." Lawson hesitated for a moment and said.

"Heh, it seems that you have a song for news." Kevin nodded approvingly.

"How did you find here?" Sylvia said coldly, you must know that this is not a well-known hotel, and ordinary people can't find this place.

"Hey, I was just a mercenary not so long ago, so I know where you guys usually stay." Kevin scoffed, there is something called an occupational disease.

"Mercenaries?" Sylvia was a little puzzled, didn't he just say that he was the military governor of Sir Karl's men?

"Just recently, I officially joined Lord Karl as his attendant, and was appointed by him as the military governor." Kevin explained.

Sylvia and Lawson glanced at each other and slowly lowered the sword in their hands.

"Then this military commander, it seems that his name is Kevin, so what is the purpose of your coming today?" Sylvia sat back down and asked.

"Ha, what do you think a nobleman's subordinates can do if they find a mercenary?" Sylvia laughed, sat down to herself, and even poured herself a glass of water and drank it all.

Kevin smacked his lips, feeling his dry throat a little moist, and nodded in satisfaction.

Not only did his actions not disgust Sylvia, but he felt more cordial, and the mercenaries were usually less restrained, and they were more arrogant and could get along with them more harmoniously.

"So, is your nobleman planning to hire us?" Sylvia said in a deep voice, it would be nice if that was the case, at least they could solve the problems of life.

"That was true at first, but things have changed a little now......" Kevin chuckled, shaking the water in his glass.

"What do you mean?" Sylvia's voice instantly became cold, is the other party playing with himself?

"According to what I've recently inquired about, your mercenary team should be having a hard time right now." Kevin deliberately bit the word difficult, which made Sylvia's face a little embarrassed.

"It doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, does it? Or do you want to take advantage of the fire? Sylvia snorted coldly, he didn't have the intention of being hired now, he could now be sure that the other party didn't have any good intentions.

"No, no, no, I think you misunderstood." Kevin smiled and shook his head.

"Go on."

"My sir wants to recruit you directly." Kevin finally said what he was trying to do.

Sylvia's eyes tightened, and he looked at Kevin fiercely, and Lawson on the side was also startled by this sudden remark and stood up.

Kevin wasn't nervous, just drank tea by himself, waiting for the other party to come to his senses.

It took a long time for Sylvia to finally calm down and return to her place.

"You came here to recruit mercenaries, are you taking it for granted?" Sylvia shook her head, but her voice softened a lot, and his eyes kept changing, just because of the hair covering, which ordinary people couldn't see.

"Taken for granted? No, not at all, if I'm not mistaken, you who don't want to be recruited here have already left. Kevin smiled and said.

Sylvia's expression changed again, he looked at Kevin deeply, and he felt more and more that this man was so terrible that he even heard about this kind of thing.

Although many people know that the mercenary team here has been divided, few people know what the reason is, and now a person who has not been here for a long time knows.

"Looks like you've prepared enough." Sylvia sighed, there was nothing to say at this point, and she had a clear grasp of everything here.

"Mr. Kevin, you just said that you were a mercenary not long ago, and now you are the military director, but I think you might as well be the spy director, maybe that is more suitable for you."

"Ha, then I want to thank you for your compliments and suggestions, but I personally prefer to gallop on the battlefield." Kevin didn't care if the other party was mocking, and said generously.

After a long time, Sylvia finally continued, "Can you tell me about your master, who is that sir?" ”

Kevin slowly put down the water glass, he knew that now that business was coming, the other party definitely didn't want to ask Carl about trivial matters like his life, so the leader of the mercenaries wanted to gauge whether Carl really had the ability to recruit them.

"My master, Sir Karl Dias, is Sir Selde, the Earl of Lens, and he is in charge of Selde Manor and the attached villages." Kevin said it succinctly.

"The Earl's personal seal?" Kevin was a little puzzled, he remembered that the new nobleman seemed to be quite young, and he thought it would be some kind of second-generation son who would inherit his father's title.

Seeing the other party's puzzled look, Kevin simply told Carl what he had done.

"Ah...... If what you say is true, then this Sir Karl Dias is a good commander. Sylvia was a little admiring when she heard this.

"Maybe it's just that this gentleman is a little flattering." Lawson on the side spoke, he didn't believe that a young man was so powerful.

"Hey, what's the point of me lying to you about this kind of thing? Even if you are willing to send some people to Rensburgshire to inquire and get something more concrete, the wonders of Lord Sir are spread there like an epic. Kevin said disdainfully.

Lawson was speechless, and finally silently returned to his position, because he knew that what the other party said was right, and there was no need for the other party to lie to them here.

"A military nobleman with a manor and a village, I have heard of the Manor and the village of Sylder, it is a rich place, and I admit that Sir Karl does have the ability to recruit us." Sylvia nodded, thoughts colliding in his mind.

"So what kind of price can you give?" Sylvia asked.

"You can make an offer." Kevin is a smart man, he didn't take the initiative to make an offer, but let the other party mention.

Sylvia took a deep look at the other party, pondered for a moment, and said, "Give us three hundred silver natas a year, and settle the military salary once a week." ”

"Three hundred silver natas? My friend hopes you're not kidding. Kevin shrugged his shoulders and looked noncommittal.

"There are fifty of us, and each of us has leather armor and swords, and we are worth the price." Sylvia said solemnly.

"If that's what you're offering, then I would like to remind you of one thing, my friend, that now, I am not discussing with you the price of hiring you, but of recruiting you, you will become a regular army under Sir Karl, you will have comfortable houses and adequate food provisions, and most importantly, you were hired to go to war, and now even if you are recruited, you may not encounter a war for a few years, at most you will protect the manor from being raided by robbers." Kevin shook his head, his eyes seemed to say that you really dare to think about it.

Sylvia was silent, his mind was still stuck in the mind of a mercenary, and he had to say that if it was according to the recruitment, his price was indeed expensive.

"Maybe you're right, but I'm curious why Sir Carr needs to recruit us?" Sylvia asked suddenly.

Kevin glanced at him and said, "Lord Karl has just been knighted, and although there are also a group of troops guarding the Selder Manor, it is not enough. ”

Sylvia understood that the nobleman was afraid that he would not be able to control the situation at the estate when he first arrived.

"Flo people...... Yes, and the Flos. Sylvia thought of this again, Sylde Manor, which was close to the Flo territory.

"Two hundred silver natas, two hundred a year, this is our reserve price." Sylvia said.

"Two hundred silver natas...... Kevin touched his chin, that is, each person can get five silver natas a year on average, this price is also appropriate, don't look at the previous time Baron Sa's territory all need a silver natas, you must know that in this era, those who need to pass through other territories are either nobles or itinerant merchants, they are not short of money in their hands, in fact, one silver natas is really not less.

And you know, the soldiers get more than just these salaries, they also count all kinds of bonuses and all kinds of trophies on the battlefield, which add up to a lot of money.

"Okay, two hundred silver natas for a year's military salary, how long will it take you to assemble?" Kevin made a decision, and Carl gave him permission in this regard, after all, Carl didn't understand this, so naturally he wouldn't care.

"We're ready to go." Sylvia said that there was nothing to do for so long, and every mercenary was idle.

"Tomorrow afternoon, all of you will gather outside Kantano Castle, and we will go to Sylde Manor together." Kevin said.

"Of course, sir." Sylvia readily agreed.

Now that the two sides have reached an agreement, the anger naturally eases, and the two sides drink and chat with each other.

"Mr. Kevin, can you tell us a little bit about your transition from mercenary to military governor under Sir Karl Dias? I was very curious. Sylvia said casually.

Kevin narrowed his eyes slightly, and secretly laughed in his heart that the other party was probing some truth, but he didn't move, just said: "Of course it's okay my friend, in fact, this is my pride." ”

Kevin talked eloquently, and recounted his story vividly, starting from the tavern that seemed to be arranged by God, I have to say that Kevin's storytelling ability is really good, and Sylvia and the others all showed a look of amazement when they heard it.

In fact, this is indeed an honor and pride for him, mercenaries are lowly, at least mercenaries like him who wander around looking for employers are lowly, but such a mercenary eventually became the military governor of a nobleman, to put it mildly, it is not necessarily impossible for him to go out now and say that he is also a nobleman, which is already a great honor for him who was born as a mercenary.

"Thankfully, sir, you must be grateful to Sir Karl Dias." Sylvia smiled.

"Of course, I will defend everything that Lord Karl does, as long as he tells me to do it, anyone who dares to harm Lord Karl I will definitely make him pay." Kevin squinted his eyes slightly, smiling but not smiling.

Sylvia also laughed, as if she couldn't hear the threat in the other party's words.

When Kevin left the place, it was late at night, leaving only Sylvia in a deep voice.
