Chapter 278: New Ally, Margarita
Julia's performance, Wayne saw it all, and couldn't help but feel a trace of appreciation in his heart for this woman's choice and decisiveness.
Well, he likes this kind of clever and motivated, but he doesn't pretend to be a clever subordinate.
He got up and took a bottle of high-end red wine from the wine cabinet, poured a glass for himself and the little cat, and then said calmly:
"You're going to do more than that, I have a bigger plan and need more mercenaries, a corps of mercenaries who are only loyal to me."
"This mercenary army is different from the ordinary mercenaries you are now managing to deal with miscellaneous items, but war mercenaries who specialize in combat."
"My plan is to form a mercenary corps of 20,000 men within three years."
"Ten years later, the corps expanded to 50,000 people."
"I want this mercenary group to be the largest mercenary group from the north in the world."
Although Wayne's tone was quite flat, the words he said shocked Julia on the other side and almost spit out the red wine in his mouth.
The mercenary group of 50,000 people is simply a joke, even most northern powers are difficult to organize such an army.
You must know that even if Corville is known as the country of mercenaries, has the largest number of mercenary regiments in the entire north, and even has a military academy that specializes in teaching mercenary military knowledge, the most powerful mercenary corps in Corville has only a few thousand members, and no more than ten thousand at most.
In addition to the fact that it is difficult to manage because there are too many people, there is no war and only idle personnel and waste money.
The most important reason is that the kings cannot allow a mercenary group of more than 10,000 people to exist, which is likely to affect their rule and threaten their rights.
Even those mercenary groups numbering more than a few thousand people, most of their behind-the-scenes leaders have royal blood, or are themselves agents of some big nobles.
For the control of their own rights, no matter which dynasty is in power, they would rather kill the wrong ones than let them go.
Julia wiped the red wine from the corner of her mouth with her cuff, trying to calm herself.
If Wayne weren't for the fact that Wayne was her big benefactor, and he was a big man she couldn't afford to mess with, maybe this strong and spicy female mercenary captain would have opened her mouth to mock the other party.
She comforted herself in her heart that this was a layman's random advice, don't take it to heart, and then squeezed a smile on her face, and said sincerely:
"Boss, your plan is indeed quite ambitious, and it is worth our efforts."
"But there's a small problem to be aware of."
"In the vast majority of kingdoms in the north, nobles and lords are not allowed to have mercenary groups with more than a thousand people."
"Even if it's just a mercenary group of a few hundred people, they will focus on it, and most of the time, these mercenaries can't even enter the city, and they won't get any commissions and tasks."
"Boss, unless you can get special permission from a certain king, otherwise, a mercenary group of more than 10,000 people is basically impossible, and it will not be allowed to enter the leading range of other countries."
"At this size, the secret agents of any country will always pay attention to the actions of this mercenary group, and there is no possibility of hiding."
Julia said very carefully, always with a flattering smile on her face, for fear that the big benefactor in front of her would be angry because of her words, or insist on acting brutally and commanding indiscriminately.
The Cat's Paw Mercenary Group is now at a critical time of development, and it must not lack the financial blessing of the big financier in front of it.
After listening to Julia's words, Wayne did not show any dissatisfaction, he really didn't understand the information that Little Beautiful Cat said, and he didn't understand it before, however, this did not conflict with his original plan, and Little Beautiful Cat's rebuttal also proved that she was not an echo worm, but had her own ideas.
Immediately, Wayne first spoke to calm Julia's somewhat restless emotions, and then explained his plan to build a super chamber of commerce to her roughly.
In the end, he looked at Julia with meaningful eyes, and said in a flat tone:
"In the near future, my Wayne Chamber of Commerce will have its own stronghold in any city or township in the north, and each stronghold will have its own armed guard."
"Hundreds of strongholds, hundreds of caravans, even if tens of thousands of people are hidden in their hearts, they will be inconspicuous, in addition to guarding the safety of caravans and strongholds, this mercenary group only needs to obey my deployment, and does not need to serve other people's wars."
"It's a long-term and great plan, and the position I've left you behind is crucial."
"However, the choice is yours, Julia, and you can still choose to take care of your current work of saving the inhuman race, and not distract from anything else."
"I think the conditions I gave should be easy to attract other good people to work for me."
But as soon as Wayne's words fell, Julia scrambled to say:
"I do, boss, I'm willing to take care of this for you."
The little beautiful cat's expression is very excited, her eyes are slightly bloodshot, and her face is also a little crimson.
Just kidding, if you have the opportunity to lead a mercenary group of tens of thousands of people and become such a big man destined to leave a name in history, I'm afraid that even if you sell your soul, there are a lot of people who are willing to do it.
Although Julia is very suspicious that Wayne is painting her a big pie, it is impossible to achieve it in the future.
If you want to build such a super chamber of commerce, how much money does it take, and how powerful background forces can you complete?
But in the Middle Ages, when such avenues were extremely scarce, if there was such an opportunity to give it a chance, why refuse it?
In case what the boss said is true, then her life is worth it.
Wayne smiled and patted Julia on the shoulder, pleased with her positive attitude, and said:
"I'll talk to you about the specific operation in detail later."
"What you have to do now is to pick the members who have the leadership ability and are trustworthy, and pick them out, and they will all become the leaders of small teams of dozens or hundreds of people in the future."
"You have to find a way to ensure their loyalty, whether it's a contract with them, whether it's a combination of grace and power, or money temptation, in short, make sure they are obedient."
"But don't worry, you still have a lot of time to work on this in the future."
As he spoke, Wayne picked up the beautiful face of the little beautiful cat with his fingers, smiled and said in a seductive tone:
"And you should know that I am a person with extraordinary powers, and I can do many things that are unimaginable to you ordinary people."
"As long as you do things for me well and make achievements that satisfy me, I will give you the immortality that mortals dream of, so that you can live for hundreds of years, so that you can have more powerful strength, transcend mortals, and become a powerful existence that you never dreamed of."
………………
After Julia leaves with a vision for the future, Wayne goes to a shop in the city and meets up with Resso and the others, who are almost already living a peaceful life in Virgin City.
After a detailed discussion with the witchers of the Viper School, he agreed to go to the Kingdom of Koldwin to carry out the commission, and after completing the mission, he returned to Kayl's mansion after returning to Kyl Mohan together.
It was already dusk, and when Wayne returned to the mansion, only the little maid Maisie and a few other servants were at home, and Kayla had not yet returned.
He thought about it, this little time was not enough to do something serious, so he simply cooked it himself and made a large table of good dishes, which could be regarded as a reward for the enthusiasm of Kayla and Maisie last night.
But what Wayne didn't expect was that when Kayla returned, she would come back with a sorceress who had met several times.
The current headmaster of the Erethusa Academy, a sorceress with a super wow-sturdy bust and a body as perfect as a marble statue, Margaret.
After the two sorceresses returned, Margarita saw a large table of delicious food prepared by Wayne, and immediately let out a scream of excitement like a little girl, and then walked over quickly, hugged Wayne, kissed him on the handsome side cheek, and said with a smile on his face:
"I'm so lucky, Wayne."
"In the past two years, every time I eat, I always think of the food you made, and I always miss it."
"I didn't expect to be able to taste these delicacies again when I arrived today, I'm so happy."
Embraced by Margarita's warm and soft body, Wayne glanced at Kayla in some surprise, and saw that the other party threw an ambiguous look at him, and Wayne suddenly smiled bitterly in his heart.
He patted Margarita on the back and said softly:
"Welcome, Margarita, we haven't seen each other in a long time."
"Kayla didn't tell me you were coming today, otherwise I would have prepared more food to entertain you."
Hearing Wayne's welcome, Margarita's smile widened, and she turned to Kayla's side, pulled up the petite sorceress, who was half a head shorter than her, and said with a smile:
"Kayla told me that she was ready to compete for the bounty, and that you would be her ally and protect her in this mission."
"Actually, she invited me to work with me before, but I have been hesitant to consider that without qualified fighters to protect us, this mission will become very dangerous."
"But now that you, a powerful witcher, have also joined, I have no reason to refuse, this mission, we will team up together to help Kayla and hunt down that undead monster from another world."
Wayne raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard this, he didn't expect Kayla to find Margarita to be her ally.
You must know that Margarita can become the current headmaster of the Erethusa Academy, her own strength is undoubted, and she is definitely a very outstanding existence among the sorceresses.
According to what is learned in the game, this Margarita Principal is a rare noble sorceress among the sorceresses who has a very kind personality, is not greedy for power, and is even willing to sacrifice for the sake of her students.
She is probably really one of the few sorceresses who will not play tricks for the position of reserve member of the Supreme Council.
With her help, Kayla's success rate in this mission has increased dramatically.
After everyone was seated at the table, and even Maisie sat down beside Wayne with Kayla's acquiescence, they chatted happily while enjoying the food.
Wayne asked Margarita in a joking tone:
"Lady Margarita, Kayla must have paid a lot of money to invite you this time, right?"
With a happy smile on her face, Margarita gulped down a cream cake in her hand, unconcerned that the milky cream landed on her almost completely open chest.
It wasn't until she had eaten all the cakes that the headmistress licked her fingers with her sexy lips and said with a big grin:
"Kayla is one of my most proud students, and I like her personality very much, so I only charged her 5,000 Oren as a hardship fee for this commission."
"As you might be able to guess, there are a lot of people besides her who have invited me."
As she spoke, Margarita winked at Wayne and said with a smile:
"Time is a magical thing, and it is only from the young sorceresses of Kayla and Triss that you can see what sincerity is and what responsibility is."
"When a sorceress reaches the age of the first hundred, many precious qualities slowly disappear from them."
"A lot of people end up being the kind of people they hate."
Wayne nodded as if he didn't understand, he found that Margarita was not as arrogant as she appeared, and he estimated many things in his heart like a mirror, much clearer than many insiders.
But this is also normal, Margarita has lived for almost two hundred years, and for such a long time, even the most simple person will be honed into a human essence.
What's more, to be able to become the principal of Aretusa Academy, Margarita's intelligence and emotional intelligence must be very outstanding, otherwise it would be impossible to stand in this position.
And in this way, after such a long time of training, she can still retain her kind and noble character, which is enough to see that she is a person worthy of admiration.
The dinner was a great meal, and after three years of training, Wayne's cooking skills have gone to the next level, and it is even more happy and nostalgic than the last time Margarida ate it.
After Maisie left the venue halfway, the three discussed some details about the mission in detail, and set the time of departure for the morning of the third day, and separated for the time being.
Wayne studied magic for two hours, and when it was night, he went to the bathroom by himself, ready to take a shower and relax.
However, what he didn't expect was that when he was halfway through the shower, lying in the hot water, and enjoying the fun of bathing, Kayla and Margarita, who were dressed in loose bathrobes, also walked into the bathroom with a smile.
They weren't surprised to see Wayne lying in the bath, but instead admired Wayne's masculine body with bold eyes, while whispering about his fierce performance in bed last night.
The explicit words and ambiguous tone made Margarita laugh.
Seeing this, Wayne was a little embarrassed to cover his body with a bath towel, and then said to the two sorceresses:
"Ladies, it's not a lady's act to discuss this kind of thing in front of me!"
"Why don't you come in after I'm done showering?"
Unexpectedly, after listening to Wayne's speech, Margarita smiled even brighter.
The two walked into the bath without concealment, and walked to Wayne's side, Margarita reached out and touched the strong muscles of Wayne's body, and said with a smile:
"What are you afraid of as a big man, aren't Kayla and I beautiful?"
"Actually, this time to help Kayla, she also agreed to a small request from me."
"I've always wanted to try what it's like to sleep with witchers, but I don't like those stinking ugly bastards, and you're the one who best fits my aesthetic, Wayne."
"But if you refuse, I won't force you."
As a man, a witcher, no one can stand such temptation.
