Chapter 39: Everybody's Earned
After Claire's explanation again, the indignation on the faces of the members of the Flame Mercenary Group had faded a lot, and several people were a little moved.
If you ask yourself, the conditions given by Claire are indeed not bad, and there are more benefits than cooperating with ordinary nobles.
The only thing that is doubtful is whether Claire is worth the investment, and whether the risk of being tied to Claire's boat is worth it.
Bart made up his mind, and although he knew that this might be a good opportunity for the Flame Mercenary Regiment, he still rejected Claire's proposal for the sake of the members.
Although talking to Norman made him think that Claire could invest, it was obviously not his style to put all the chips on Claire.
There are a lot of potential stocks that pop up every once in a while, but there are not many that can really grow. At the moment, Claire has not really gained a foothold, and it is a bit difficult for him to choose Claire in a desperate choice.
So many brothers and their families in the whole group pointed to him for dinner.
Bart rejected Claire's proposal, or insisted that he could open a branch in the territory, which surprised Claire, and such a small mercenary group could actually refuse?
To tell the truth, it was because of the serious shortage of people that he offered such a good bargaining chip to the Agni Mercenary Group. Claire values not only the combat power of the more than 100 soldiers of the Agni Mercenary Group, but also the huge network of mercenaries and the management team.
It's just that since Bart is unwilling, he is not reluctant.
Claire also decisively rejected Bart's proposal to open a branch, and instead gave the other party a long-term war mercenary commission.
This commission paid more than the promised defense of Tilling, almost five times as much as before, but the time became two years, and he had to participate in all the wars of Claire.
Gritting his teeth, Bart still accepted the commission, and the wealth was in danger.
Compared to Claire's promise of future gains from an illusory territory, cash is the only way to convince the mercenaries.
Claire was not disappointed, now he is just a little baron who has just obtained the territory, except for a little bit of weak personal strength, it is normal for no one to be optimistic. After all, in his background, there is only that big fool Fred on the surface.
Fred's potential is well understood.
Bart ran out of ideas, but Norman became interested and made an offer.
That is, the Good Luck Mercenary Group and Claire will cooperate to establish a new subordinate mercenary group together, and the benefits will be divided by five or five points.
Subordinate mercenary groups, usually established by the top large mercenary groups in order to expand their power, generally cooperate with local mercenary groups, obey the command of superior mercenary groups, pay a certain profit, in exchange for the protection and assistance of superior mercenary groups, and can also borrow the name of superior mercenary groups to take on tasks.
Although the Good Luck Mercenary Group is not a top large mercenary group, it is also an elite mercenary group, and all the members are professionals.
It's just that now Norman has put forward this idea, which is obviously helping Claire, after all, Claire has nothing in her hands now.
Bart looked at Norman with a complicated expression and sighed imperceptibly. In fact, he, like Norman, thinks Claire has a bright future, but Norman can gamble, but he can't. In the final analysis, a medium-sized mercenary group like the Agni Mercenary Group relies on numbers, and most of them are ordinary people. As for the Good Luck Mercenary Group, there are few people, everyone is a professional, and they are respected wherever they go.
Not to mention, Norman's own strength can be regarded as a strong man even in the kingdom.
Even if Claire is killed in the end, it is not difficult for the Good Luck mercenary group to escape under the protection of Norman, even if the result is worse, it is just a change of place, and the mercenary group composed of professionals still lacks commissions? As for the Agni Mercenary Group, not to mention whether anyone knows anyone near Trois-Rivières City, let's just say that the families of so many ordinary people can't be taken with them.
Perhaps, Norman's idea was the right one in the first place.
Claire didn't expect another village, and the surprise came too suddenly.
For Norman's proposal, Claire basically accepted it, and only made a small modification, that is, to give the Good Luck mercenary group more profit sharing, and correspondingly, take away important personnel powers.
Norman has no opinion on this, because unlike Bart guessed, although Norman's move is optimistic about Claire, it is more to make money.
Others think that an elite mercenary group like the Good Luck Mercenary Group has such a beautiful and powerful strength, and the entrustment is high, and ordinary people dare not provoke it.
Only Norman knew in his heart that it wasn't that he didn't want to expand, but that he really couldn't afford it. The cost of maintaining such an elite mercenary group of more than twenty people is not small.
Everyone is a professional, don't talk about being a master in another place, at least there is no problem with eating with a mouth, why should I listen to your orders and follow you to work hard, in addition to the charm of the regiment commander himself, that is money.
As a mercenary, he lives a life of licking blood from the knife edge, and he is fighting for wealth.
The expenses of the professionals are simply incomparable to those of ordinary soldiers.
If it doesn't open for half a year, it opens for half a year, and it is almost the norm for the Good Luck mercenary group. After all, there aren't that many dangerous commissions that require mercenary groups that are all professionals.
Normally, everyone in the Good Luck Mercenary Group goes to accept the commission alone as an individual, and many people in the group often complain about this problem. The most classic sentence in the regiment is that you will be hungry three times a day with the head of the regiment.
Norman is also difficult to resist, as a professional, he also needs money to cultivate, and he also needs money to raise a large group of brothers, but the business of the mercenary group is tepid, how can this be done.
This time I came to Tiling Town, in addition to selling the so-called old people's face, the bigger reason is that the oil and water are abundant. An additional allowance of 50-100 dinars per professional allowed him to pull the whole group over.
Now, Claire wants to get her own mercenary group, he is short of people, Norman is short of money, isn't it an instant hit.
Sure enough, after agreeing on the big issues, the atmosphere in the banquet hall became much more pleasant, and many of the remaining details were no longer a problem.
The new mercenary group name, Claire's evil name, became a small mercenary group. For this name, everyone is powerless to complain, but the owner has decided, so he will admit it.
As for the organizational structure of the small mercenary group, Wade is also the executive deputy leader, and the other managers are all from the Good Luck mercenary group, and when the time is right, they will decide whether to change people. Of course, every manager, there is a good salary.
In view of the fact that the small mercenary group had just been established and had not yet had any income, Claire generously waved her hand and injected 10,000 dinars first.
Claire's generosity naturally attracted everyone's attention.
What His Excellency is magnificent, what will be a great thing, what will not become an earl in the future, and so on, all came out in one go.
A banquet for all guests.
