The day after the huge fleet passed through Canterella, the mercenary guild became more lively than ever, and all the tasks of transporting and escorting were swept away, and merchants, nobles, and some commoners packed their bags. Then, on the third day, the traffic of the whole city was tested by the strictest congestion since its construction, and after another two days, the most prosperous trading city on the eastern coast of the kingdom was like a dead city, and there was no longer any clamor or commotion.
In the most popular tavern where there were always too many guests and almost constant brawls, a few mercenaries who did not get the task sat on the seats closest to the stage with gloomy faces and drank the cheapest drinks. Apparently they hadn't received any decent assignments until the winter, and now that the weather had just warmed up, it had happened again, making it difficult for them to leave like everyone else.
However, they were all looking at a beautiful lady sitting on the edge of the bar, drinking the most expensive wine, chatting with the hotel owner who had to serve the guests himself due to lack of manpower, hoping for this last chance to leave without empty hands. It was only when the hotel's welcome doorbell rang that several mercenaries and a silver-gray wolf hunter walked towards her made them all sigh in their hearts, and then lowered their heads and continued to drink cheap drinks.
"Thank you for your hospitality. After he poured drinks for everyone and walked away, the lady asked the people in the seats next to her with some eagerness: "How is it, have you heard anything?"
"Yes, ma'am. According to the fisherman who went to sea that day, at least half of the fleet were ships of the Island Alliance, and the rest were on the outermost side, and it was too chaotic at the time, and no one could see clearly whether there was a big ~ Angus flag. Look~ Do you want to send someone to Bryan City to inform the others?"
"Didn't Lu Xien say that you are in charge of your regiment. You don't have to ask me what you want to do, I'm only responsible for piloting the Flying Whale. But even if you send someone now, you won't be able to catch up, unless you plan for me to use the Flying Whale to take you to a naval battle?" After taking a sip of wine, seeing that Abregor did not answer, Evelyn, who had guessed his thoughts, continued: "Don't think too much, you have seen a lot of things around Lucien, are you still afraid of what will happen to him? And don't forget that Craig and his Leviathan also came out with us." ”
"Yes. With a simple answer, Abrego raised his glass. He also didn't know how to get along with Evelyn, especially after learning that she was once the Grand Duchess of Ulysses. It's not that I have any thoughts about Lu Chen's arrangement. Just an experience in the Florde Mercenaries. It makes him reluctant to be in power alone.
The atmosphere was a little dreary, but fortunately not everyone felt pressured about Evelyn's status as a lady, and a young man named Reibins, who had just been recruited, asked after taking a half-drink in one gulp, "So what should we do now?" There aren't a few decent mercenaries left in this city, is there anything left to do?"
Money, interest, curiosity, fun, want to get ahead, in order to live, no matter where there is no shortage of such people, glanced at the more than twenty mercenaries who had just joined around him. Evelyn could tell that many of them were wolf hunting, and that was something she hadn't expected before the recruitment began, at least in terms of their numbers. After all, for some low-level mercenaries, having a wolf hunting with a strength no less than a human five-star will allow them to gain a great increase in strength in a short period of time.
But thankfully, Lu Chen made it at the beginning. The strength of more than four stars and the condition that you cannot sign a contract with the wolf hunting have screened out a large number of people who think that way, although at the same time it also makes it very difficult to recruit. Fortunately, in the name of Lu Chen, he has already asked for help from the Mercenary Guild, and the recruitment information has been sent to the entire kingdom, and now he just needs to wait patiently. As for why the branch president would enthusiastically help after confirming Lu Chen's identity, Evelyn didn't care, she was just proud of having this little lover.
"There are many things that can be done, such as helping the defenders to fight the enemy first, then even if you don't become a wolf knight, you will also be retained as a member of other legions, you must know that the wolf cavalry regiment is only our first idea. Evelyn said deliberately.
Combined with what Abrego said just now, the faces of everyone present changed, because as long as they were not too stupid, they could hear that the so-called enemy was Angus, the former first heir of the kingdom, and at the same time, they who were closer to his fiefdom also knew the strength of some of the great princes, which was by no means something that the trading city of Cantarella could resist, not to mention that there was only one battalion of local security forces stationed here.
In addition to the music that was still playing dutifully on the side of the stage, the already quiet tavern suddenly became even more silent, and the mercenaries, who looked hopeless, also walked out in frustration after drinking the last sip of cheap drink, ready to try their luck in other cities after a good night's sleep.
Then another morning, Abrego received several requests to withdraw from the group......
――――
At the same time, a large number of inhabitants of the largest oval island in the north of the island alliance are also fleeing their homes eastward, because a sea beast several times larger than the mansion where their lord lives is wreaking havoc on the island, the only thing that is fortunate is that it has no penchant for cannibalism, but is slowly destroying the island's buildings, and seems to want to build a nest in this place.
The lord who had fled to the battleship looked at the territory he had lived in for a long time with mixed feelings, and when he thought that he could finally get rid of this broken territory with only land and no resources, he was also calculating how much it would cost to hire someone to steal the cub of this sea beast. Although this is a bit early, generally speaking, there is only one reason why such a huge sea beast occupies the island, and that is that it is about to be produced.
And just when the lord wonders if his family can marry the royal family of the Island Alliance, Craig is taking control of the army of ghouls, following Leviathan to capture the spies left behind on the island. As an undead with a strong sense of military consciousness in the Soul Fire, he is reluctant to attack ordinary people who are powerless to resist, but those who are ordered to hide are not within his rules, and just happen to be good slaves.
