Chapter Twenty-Nine: Into Battle
The princess is great.
The princess is noble.
The princess is elegant.
So, when Dietrich and the others saw Isabella rushing from their seats to Leah's side like a fried cat, and reached out to pull each other's faces, they were all stupid.
Immediately after Leah was taken captive, the knights sent a man to inform Karene and Isabella, and because of this, until little Lori returned, the poor princess was in anxious mode.
"Leah, you idiot, do you know how worried I was when I heard that you had been taken captive!?
Since you're not in danger at all, why don't you send someone to inform us!?And what about magic letters!?You've learned magic letters, don't try to quibble, I know!"
The so-called magic letter is to send a letter to others thousands of miles away by the power of arcane magic, and in this era of lost spatial teleportation, the most efficient means of long-range communication is none other than this.
"Woo woo, right...... Woo...... from, right...... Woo...... Rise. ”
Poor little Lori was slurred because she was grabbed in the face, so she had to look at Karen with a pleading gaze.
"Don't look at me like that, and tell me that you should be punished more severely.
But...... Princess, please be careful about your behavior in front of outsiders. ”
Karlian responded with a "you deserve it" look.
"Ah...... Ahem, ahem. ”
Only then did Isabella, who was in a frenzy, discover the mercenaries' savings, and she withdrew her hands. He coughed a few times in a pretended majesty.
No matter how unbelievable the previous scene was, the princess was a princess after all, and the mercenaries were very sensible and pretended that they hadn't seen anything.
"Anyway. You brought them ......"
Looking at the few people in front of her, Karene asked.
"It's reinforcements, the best reinforcements I could find. ”
Leah was dizzy from Isabella's shaking, and she straightened her slightly messy clothes before explaining.
"Reinforcements, let me guess - Lord Hanufain didn't promise to lend you her mage troops?"
Hearing that the reinforcements turned out to be only mercenaries, Isabella frowned.
"That's right, I was gorgeously rejected by the other party. ”
Little Lori spread her hands to express her helplessness.
"But my luck was good. On the way, I met a wolf sister who had no meat to eat. ”
With that, Leah playfully stuck out her tongue at Dietrich.
The latter was unconcerned, grinning and wagging his tail.
"Maid...... Soldier...... ......"
Karene said word by word. It seems to be thinking about something.
"It's a bit rude to say that, but Leah, are you sure that the loyalty of these gentlemen and ladies will stand the test?"
Isabella asked. A long time ago, the mercenaries in the Cold Lake Mine made a very bad impression on her.
"I can assure Miss Dietrich and Mr. Isador that there is absolutely no problem. Last year in the Darkfire Forest. They were the ones who helped me hunt the Dark Space Wurm. ”
A certain Lori nodded.
"As for the other two......"
Immediately, she turned her gaze to Loka and Winter.
"Loka and Winter are our acquaintances, and I promise that they will never betray once they take on the mission. ”
Dietrich took a copper plate out of her pocket and tossed it, then said.
A copper coin has only one mission in the mercenary world - and that is to purge any mercenary who betrays his employer.
"Put away that copper coin, Dietrich, we're not the Tigers' stupidity, you won't have a chance to use it. And...... Tough words. There's an even more convincing reason here, Princess. ”
Loka stepped forward and said.
"Oh?"
Isabella raised an eyebrow.
"Our three mercenary groups are all large mercenary groups registered in the Randall Kingdom. We've been there for more than a decade. ”
Luo Ka's words made it clear, you know, running a mercenary group is not an easy task, even if the mercenaries often travel from south to north, but connections, relatives, property, and houses, it is impossible to take all of them away. If they betray Randall, it means losing everything.
Just as Isabella hesitated, Karen spoke:
"Mr. Loka and Mr. Winter, if I'm not mistaken, you should be the leaders of the Monty Python Mercenary Regiment and the Minotauth Mercenary Regiment, right, as for Miss Dietrich and Mister Izado, they are the wolves respectively...... and ......"
"We are now the leader and deputy head of the Demon Wolf Mercenary Regiment, Lord Kalian. ”
Isado shook his head.
"I see, it looks like your two mercenary groups have merged. I remember...... Back in the war with the Salman Cult, you applied to join the war. ”
Karen's impression of several mercenary groups comes from the holy war in the past.
"But you refused, my lord. ”
Dietrich shrugged.
"Yes, I turned you down that time, but this time, I think we'll have the privilege of fighting together. ”
Karen said, looking at the princess. Although she had the heart to accept these mercenaries, she was not the one who really made the decision.
"Since you've all agreed, and I can't find any good reason, then, mercenaries, welcome to Randall's army. ”
Isabella nodded, affirming Kalian's words.
"Oh-!! I knew I could make a lot of money by coming here!!"
When Dietrich heard this, she jumped for joy.
"Of course, you won't be disappointed in terms of commissions. ”
The princess affirmed the other party's statement, not to mention that the royal family is never stingy when giving money.
"But I want to make it clear that since you have decided to be employed by me, you will henceforth be under our command in every action. ”
Then, she said sternly.
"Understood!"
Several mercenaries nodded. Although there are also people on the battlefield who like to use mercenaries as cannon fodder and order them to carry out some death-defying actions, but out of trust and favor for little Lori, as well as the generous reward, Dietrich and the others decided to accept this somewhat unsympathetic request.
On the other hand, it is also a gamble for the mercenaries. Luckily, they got the bet right - Isabella and Karen really had no intention of sacrificing them.
Thus, in a short period of time, Toria's blessing, Isabella and Karen finally gathered a full force of 2,000 men.
Although it is still much worse than the exaggerated number of people in the Kingdom of Simoye, whether it is the mercenaries or the armies of other kingdoms, their Suzhì is not comparable to the slave soldiers.
What's more, Kalian has also pulled this group of mixed troops to conduct several exercises, and for now, at least there is no problem with the order and ban.
So on this day, in the face of the menacing Simoye army in the distance, everyone was ready to fight......!
ps: A certain Lori's book group number: 117869722, the more book friends, the better, and the poor book group of Moon Shadow is about to become a game group~~~
