Bair quickly noticed Einhard next to him, who wasn't in too good shape.

Bair took out a piece of cloth that his horse had carried with him, and rubbed it on his breastplate, carefully cleaning him.

"My little knight, have you been embarrassed by them?"

The intimacy made Einhard blush. "No, my lord, it's just that I'm ashamed of this realm because of my festering."

But Bayer only felt that he blushed because of guilt, and Bayer shook his head, "The pus wound has been there, you just gave them a cathartic pass." ”

The group pressed several merchants, still walking forward, and the road from the port to the castle was not far, and only a few steps later saw a merchant blocking the way.

It's not a good job, but it's so lucrative that they take the risk with their mercenaries.

Bayer thought of a certain sage who said that one hundred percent profit would be enough for them to trample everything.

Not surprisingly, most of the men had already been defeated by the time the blades struck, but there was always a bit of a surprise when the numbers came up.

It was a guy with a big feathered hat, no doubt an Imperial mercenary, armed with a decapitating greatsword and loyal to gold.

When he attracts attention, it's not the fancy dress that catches the eye, after all, he is still not conspicuous compared to a Holy Grail Knight.

What amazed Bair was that he had already made three moves with Old Flender, which was a rare occurrence in which it was difficult to parry the ornate sword moves of a one-handed sword with such a large weapon.

The skilful mercenary quickly caught the eyes of many and began to watch intently, whether it was a block or a pick, the mercenary showed that he was experienced in many battles.

But the difference in physique was obvious, and in a heavy split, the blade of the Holy Grail Knight managed to cut off the entire greatsword.

Bair still didn't know how much that light would add to the weapon, but there was no doubt that even the green-skinned tattered iron could be a weapon in that blessing.

The mercenary's blade snapped and fell back violently, almost falling to the ground, but instead of the same old punches and blackmail as the others, what awaited him was Byer's mouth.

"Fierce man, your swordsmanship is not bad, are you interested in working with me?"

The mercenary didn't expect the menacing lord's tone to change abruptly, and he scratched his cheek.

"I still have a job to book, I'm going to Glenburg to join the army, my lord, I'm sorry."

"I'm not a mercenary by profession, I'm just earning money for my journey."

Byer felt a pity and asked his name, maybe there would be another chance.

The mercenary read it. "My name is Marcus, Marcus. Kuluber. ”

Bayer nodded. "Mr. Kuluber, if you have no way out in the future, Changhu will always welcome capable people."

Bair threw out two more gold coins. "This is the reparation for your sword."

Marcus grinned, picked up the glittering gold coin, and hurriedly thanked him.

You can even hear the mercenary singing as he leaves. "Golden crown, golden crown, golden shining, non-stop."

And this incident also caused the other mercenaries to pluck up the courage and take up arms, of course, a drop in the bucket.

Most of the ordinary people, with the exception of ogre mercenaries, will not be Sir opponents at all, and the ogre...

Bair wouldn't hire them properly, and they didn't have the money to extort, so much so that Bair had to think about where they were going and couldn't let them roam around in their territory.

And the act of directly hiring mercenaries in Bretonnia is something that will be looked down upon by other nobles, and it means that it is a bit of an evasion of responsibility.

In Bretonnia, whether it is war or wearing armor, it is the prerogative of the nobility, and it is a shame that mercenaries are equivalent to the privilege of the nobility to outsource.

But they were not bad at fighting, and Bayer didn't want to give up, so he first stationed them here nominally as "merchants", and yes, Bayer gave each of them a small cart filled with a lot of broken copper and iron.

Ogres can be hired only for food, and Byer promises them that as long as you go to the "merchants" every day, the broken copper and iron here will be sold, and you will get a bag of bread, 20 kilograms of meat (any meat is possible), and a barrel of wine in a week.

And promise, as long as you complete the route, someone will definitely buy it, as long as they set up regular stalls in the territory and wander around the territory, someone in the village will spend food to buy your broken copper and iron.

All you need to do is maintain this state and deal with any greenskins, beastmen, or necromancy you see while "merchant".

That's right, that's "hiring".

He then imprisoned the merchants and waited for their families to redeem them.

When Bair returned to the castle, his own home, warm and comfortable...

Well, it's not very warm, it's even very dark and damp, after all, it's not a habitable alley, it's a shelter designed for war.

Bayer immediately took off his armor and walked to Ellie's room, ready to hug his fiancée and have a good affection.

But he found that the room was empty, and when he was confused, a coquettish voice sounded behind him.

"Byer. Door. Bye, kneel down to your lady! ”
