Chapter 210
The pseudonym used by Zhou Zhongmou this time, the so-called "Sredgemir", is completely a name in the style of ancient Berken, and as soon as this kind of pseudonym appears, of course, it also confirms that he may be a descendant of the nobility. Although there are indeed descendants of broken nobles among the mercenaries, the relative proportion is still not high, so it is quite unusual to have such a guy.
Five gold coins a month is considered a high-paid person among the mercenaries, and in terms of the consumption of this five gold coins for half a year of an ordinary citizen, Zhou Zhongmou, a two-handed swordsman, is really one of the high-income people. However, the townspeople are not jealous - it is a trade for their lives anyway, and many mercenaries may not even be able to get the first month's income alive. Willing to pay this high mercenary fee to hire Zhou Zhongmou was a mercenary organization called the Red Wolf Regiment, which was about one hundred and fifty people. Zhou Zhongmou followed the accountant of the mercenary group who was responsible for recruiting him to the mercenary group station outside the city, and along the way, he also had a general understanding of the composition of the red wolf group.
As a medium-sized mercenary group with one hundred and fifty people, the Red Wolf Regiment is quite well run, and the head and deputy head of the regiment have a good relationship with the upper echelons of the military nobility in the Forest Province - the accountant said in a mysterious tone that the head of the regiment is said to be a branch of a certain noble family, but what he said is very serious. Because of the good relationship, I can often receive some good jobs rich in oil and water that are delivered to the front line supplies or guard the supply warehouse, and when the front line has the upper hand, I can also get some commissions to increase the reputation of the supplementary corps or auxiliary attack directions, which is a good income, and sometimes even I can get super oil and water jobs that are responsible for maintaining law and order in the occupied area, so the income of the entire Red Wolf Regiment is really good. This is also the reason why they are able to offer a high salary of five gold coins a month. As for the specific squad formation. The regimental commander himself carried a selection of cavalry with war horses. There were about thirty cavalrymen, and the deputy commander was carrying thirty crossbowmen, and below there were three squads, each of which led thirty spearmen, one of which was a sword and shield men. The combat force of the entire mercenary group is these one hundred and fifty mercenaries, and of course there are about sixty logistics troops, and these guys have a relatively low income. The mobility of combat units is quite rapid, and the salaries offered by ordinary mercenaries in most squads are not high, and there are inevitably casualties in the line of duty. There are constantly people quitting and people joining, but they are always able to maintain the size of about one hundred and fifty people.
In addition to this regular one hundred and fifty people, there are about twenty or so stragglers, this is the detachment that Zhou Zhongmou joined after being recruited. These skirmishers either have unique skills or are strong in personal combat, and can serve as skirmishers when fighting, and sometimes they can be delegated to the squad as the backbone of the battle such as non-commissioned officers - almost all of these twenty or so are veterans, all mercenaries who have fought for many years. Zhou Zhongmou is the latest person to join them.
The station is actually quite scattered, in Zhou Zhongmou's view, it is a fence surrounding a bunch of tents, large and small tents. A trench was dug on one side of the camp. It looks like a toilet and a garbage dump. "It's not like it's all around the camp, this mercenary group is a little organized. He thought, and then he saw the leader of the mercenary group in the largest tent - it was a grim-looking middle-aged man. Although he is handsome, he has an eerie atmosphere. However, this regiment commander is quite good at being a man, he welcomed Zhou Zhongmou very warmly, and then directly paid the first month's five gold coins, and at the same time assigned a young mercenary novice to serve as Zhou Zhongmou's servant, and also arranged Zhou Zhongmou's tent and prepared all the daily necessities needed. "It's a good leader. Zhou Zhongmou muttered after going out.
The servant who walked in front of him to lead the way was a young mercenary who didn't seem to have grown hair, and his bright eyes didn't have the dead air of an old mercenary, this little guy called Hann kept chattering with Zhou Zhongmou, and the words were the first to get rid of his own bottom, but at the same time, he also tried to ask Zhou Zhongmou about his origin in a clumsy way. "Hmph, it's not his own to say whether this kid is treacherous, but this method of taking other people's words is a little more tender. Zhou Zhongmou thought so, but his mouth didn't show anything at all, anyway, he didn't have anything special to hide, so he just said casually: "Call me Sred Gemir." Hahahaha, it's actually the name of the roaring giant or the giant of the earth in the ancient Berken language, and it's nothing. Oh, you say this sword is really good, little guy, you have a bit of an eye, this is indeed a two-handed sword made of patterned steel, but this is a folding pattern steel, not a casting pattern, so it is still inferior to those divine swords. How much is it worth? About forty gold coins. Answering the little fellow's words one by one, Zhou Zhongmou walked through the entire camp - his assigned tent was at the other end.
"Are there still camp prostitutes in the mercenary group?" Zhou Zhongmou saw a few women, but asked Han En this question quite curiously, because he was still not used to the language of this era, so he tried to speak as little as possible, and when he answered just now, it was estimated that the little guy didn't understand much. "Oh, they didn't do that. This is Captain Lynn, that's Hannah and Captain Dona. Han En hurriedly explained, lest Zhou Zhongmou make a mistake about the situation. Female mercenaries are really rare, most of the female mercenaries are called mercenaries, but they are actually in the role of logistics in the mercenary group - such as the director of the camp prostitute and the like But when Han said this, Zhou Zhongmou remembered that in the previous organization, there was indeed a captain of the sword and shield soldiers named Lin, but he thought it was a big man who led thirty sword and shield soldiers, but he didn't expect it to be a female mercenary named Lin
"It seems that this is also a plot character with a name and a surname. In SLG games, these squad leaders have faces, names and attributes, and those ordinary mercenaries are scum who have no faces, no attributes, and only the number of troops. Zhou Zhongmou didn't have any intention of going up to say hello, anyway, women who can be engaged in the actual combat mercenary industry, how could there be a beautiful woman to give Zhou Zhongmou's tent is not small, it is not like the kind of Indian tent, but it is a little similar to a yurt. There was nothing on the floor, but there was a propped up bed, a table, two chairs, a few hangers, and a cupboard, which was pretty good in this place. Hann, the little guy, was very quick with his hands and feet, and quickly helped Zhou Zhongmou clean up before leaving.
Zhou Zhongmou smiled and sat down on the bed, "I have a heart, this mattress is still clean" There is also a large wooden barrel in the corner of the tent, which seems to be used for bathing - this place is different from the Middle Ages, at least the bathing habits are well maintained. Zhou Zhongmou walked out of the tent, and as far as he could see, he also saw some tents that were obviously set up by the merchants in the group, and there were a lot of groceries displayed outside. There were even a few blacksmiths in a tent where they lit fires and repaired weapons. "To maintain such a scale, it seems that this red wolf group is indeed making money, and it seems that it can stay for a while. (To be continued......)
