Chapter 176: Persuading Hortz
Three days later, Savin and the others drove back to Bianshan Town, causing a sensation before the team even entered the town. The people of the town ran to the side of the road at the entrance of the town one by one without being greeted to join in the fun, and when everyone saw a team slowly walking along the road towards the town, the crowd began to make a noise.
"Ah, it's coming, it's coming, it's a lot of people!"
"So the rumors are true, I really bought the Red Scorpion Mercenary Group, my obedient ......"
"That's right, I know this best, I saw it with my own eyes when they left, there were four or five people when they went, and there were hundreds of people when they came back, this must have been bought......"
"Mercenary groups can also sell it, it's a new thing. I wonder how much our mercenary group can sell for?"
"I've heard that this time the people of the Red Scorpion Mercenary Group have all made a fortune, and each of them has divided hundreds of gold coins, which is really a pie in the world, and they have taken a big advantage!"
When the team of Savin and others came to the crowd, the crowd began to burst into warm applause, the applause became louder and louder, and many people cheered loudly, as if Savin and the others were warriors who had returned from the war. Sawin didn't quite understand why everyone was so happy, it stands to reason that this matter didn't have much to do with them, but the joyful expressions on everyone's faces were so real.
Sawan whispered to Celea, "Why are they so happy? ”
Celia shook her head and said that she didn't know, but Lyanna, who heard the two talking on the side, explained the reason, and Lyanna said: "Probably the first time they feel that their value has been reflected, no one has ever spent so much money on a mercenary group before, but you did it, maybe this makes the mercenaries feel that someone finally sees their value." ”
Sawan looked at Lyanna in amazement, as if to say that I didn't expect you to have such a deep understanding. Lyanna shrugged her shoulders and said lightly, "I'm just talking casually, maybe they think you're wronged and waiting to blackmail your money." ”
Sawan smiled bitterly, "You never speak well, don't you?"
Savin didn't stay on the side of the road for long, he led the team into the border mountain town quickly, all the way to the headquarters of the White Griffin Mercenary Regiment. As soon as they arrived at the gate of the station, the people of the White Griffin Mercenary Group rushed out, and everyone looked at the Red Scorpion Mercenary Group brought by Sawen with admiration and curiosity.
Speaking of which, the Red Scorpion Mercenary Group and the White Griffin Mercenary Group are old enemies, the two sides have fought more than once, and even injured people's lives, at this time both sides feel a little embarrassed, if it weren't for Sawin buying the Red Scorpion Mercenary Group, it is likely that the two sides have drawn their swords against each other now.
Sawan jumped off the horse and greeted everyone warmly, although everyone welcomed Savan very much, but they didn't have such a good face for Lyanna and other members of the Red Scorpion Mercenary Group behind Savin.
Sawin also knew that the two sides would be embarrassed now, but there was no way to do it, he could only try to mediate in the middle, so that everyone could understand each other and finally become one. The best way to get everyone to let go of each other's prejudices and build friendship as soon as possible is to drink.
Sawan said to the White Griffin Mercenary Regiment, "Whoever is going to take down the biggest tavern in town, I'll invite everyone to drink tonight!"
As soon as I heard about drinking, some people immediately volunteered to go, and although it was not pleasant to see the former enemy, it was always good to have a drink. Savin asked again, "Is the head of the regiment back?"
"Just came back yesterday. Someone replied.
As he spoke, the crowd suddenly parted, and a young man shouted, "Savan, long time no see!" With the shout, a man pounced on him and hugged Savin tightly.
The two of them really hadn't seen each other for a long time, and the two hadn't had a chance to see each other since he had followed Hortz out of Border Hill for Pegasus Castle, and although it hadn't really been long, so many things had happened in the meantime that Samhain felt like a world away. Sawan also hugged Larry hard and said excitedly, "Brother Larry, are you okay?"
Larry smiled: "It's okay, it's okay! I just came back with the head of the regiment yesterday, and I heard about you as soon as I got home, you are really good at it, and you actually cleaned up Lyanna's stinky mother-in-law, it's really good!"
"Ahem, I'm still here, be careful what you say!" Lyanna appeared behind Sawan at some point, and she heard all of Larry's words just now.
When Larry looked at Lyanna, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and when he didn't know whether to say hello or fight, Sawin hurriedly put his arm around the shoulders of the two and said, "Haha...... Everyone will be a family in the future, don't you want to be like this...... Haha......"
Narros and Serenia both rolled their eyes when they heard Savan's words, and said in their hearts that you might as well not say anything about such mediation.
At the critical time, it was the appearance of Hortz that relieved Savin, as soon as he saw Hortz, Sawin was like seeing a savior, three steps and two steps to meet him, and he grabbed Hortz's hand and said: "Commander, I finally saw you!"
Hortz also said happily: "Haha, you kid is now famous in Bianshan Town, I just heard about you as soon as I came back, and it was very lively in this neighborhood." ”
At this time, Lyanna also came over, nodded to Hortz and said, "Hello, Hottz, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
Hotz looked at Lyanna, hesitated slightly, and finally said, "Hello Lyanna, it's been a long time. ”
Sawin looked at Hotz with some embarrassment and then at Lyanna, and was about to open his mouth to speak, but Hortz preemptively said, "Don't stand, everyone, come in." Then Hotz said to Larry, "Larry, you are responsible for arranging accommodation." ”
At this time, Savin didn't mention how grateful he was to Hortz, if it weren't for his former head of the regiment, it would be difficult to clean up today's meeting, which is really thanks to Hortz's generosity.
At this time, Hortz said to Savan: "Come here, Savan, I was about to talk to you." With that, Hots led Savin to his own cabin.
The two entered the room and sat down separately, and Hortz poured a glass of water for Savan, and then asked: "Sawen, with the relationship between the two of us, I won't beat around the bush, you tell me honestly, what do you mean by buying the Red Scorpion Mercenary Group?"
Sawin had already rehearsed this conversation with Hortz many times in his mind, and he did not answer Hortz's question directly, but asked Hortz instead: "Commander, have you ever thought about the future?"
Hortz was stunned, not understanding what Sawin meant by this, and Sawin continued without waiting for Hortz to answer: "Commander, don't you want to lead the White Gryphon Mercenary Group for the rest of your life?" ”
Hortz thought for a moment, then said, "Do you want me to sell you the White Griffin Mercenary Regiment as well?"
Sawin shook his head and said, "I didn't mean that, the White Griffin Mercenary Regiment is the brainchild of the regiment leader, and I can't afford it." On the contrary, I will hand over the Red Scorpion Mercenary Group to you, merge it into a mercenary group, or leave it as it is, these are all in the hands of the group leader. ”
Hortz looked at Sawin in surprise and asked, "Why? Why are you doing this?"
Sawin smiled slightly: "Of course, it's to cooperate with the head of the group, didn't I say it just now? Does the head of the group just want to be a mercenary leader for the rest of his life? Don't you want to do a bigger business?"
Hortz smiled bitterly and said, "Who doesn't want to do great things? But Savan, do you understand the rules of this world? To tell you the truth, when I was young, I also wanted to make a career and become a knight, or even a nobleman, but what the result is, people like me have no chance. After saying that, Hortz let out a long sigh, looking a little distracted.
Sawin said: "Commander, what if there is such an opportunity now? I will tell you a secret, the money used to buy the Red Scorpion Mercenary Regiment is only a drop in the bucket for me, and now there are even greater forces behind us to support us, such an opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." ”
