Chapter 56: One Family Dominates
The mercenary world in Ciudad Juaurez changed overnight.
The leaders of the two veteran B-level mercenary groups of "Piercing Blood" and "Wild Wolf Fox" were killed in the Orlando Mountains at the same time, and most of the elite mercenaries in the group who were on the mission were also killed or wounded.
The two mercenary groups first lost two deputy commanders a few months ago, and now they have killed the regiment leader and most of the backbone mercenaries, and the skeleton of the mercenary group has completely collapsed, and now the remaining strength may not even be able to catch up with the C-level mercenary group.
After experiencing this catastrophe, the embarrassment of the two mercenary groups could not even nominate a new leader who could serve the public, and the two century-old mercenary groups were disbanded. Although it is a pity, such a thing is normal in the history of mercenaries, because of the high-risk nature of the profession, no matter how large and famous the mercenary group, there are many cases of overnight destruction because of mission failure.
Many mercenaries in the city had suspected that the catastrophe of the two mercenary groups was the result of the calculations behind the Blue Enchantress mercenary group, because at the same time, the main force of the "Blue Enchantress" was also on a mission in the Orlando Mountains. But suspicion without evidence can only become gossip in the end, not to mention that the Piercing Blood and Wild Wolf Fox mercenaries who escaped alive from the mountains did not stand up to point out the blue enchantress.
The reason why the mercenaries of the two mercenary groups did not know about it was because the two old foxes, Kirkel and Valeo, did not tell their mercenaries the real goal of this mission at all in order to keep it secret, but said that they would cooperate with the Warsong Legion to exterminate a small group of orcs. And the two mercenary groups suffered so much loss because they collided with the orc army, and the two leaders were also captured by the blood tree mage, although the blue enchantress also showed up in the black stone forest, but they didn't make a move against the mercenaries and the warsong legion who were also human races.
With the passage of time, these gossips will eventually be gradually forgotten and forgotten.
After the disbandment of "Bloodpiercing" and "Wolf Fox", Huaorez City became the dominant family of the Blue Enchantress. Although the two mercenary groups were disbanded, the living mercenaries still had to find a means to make a living, and many mercenaries found a small mercenary group they knew to join, and changed to a mercenary group to make a living and eat. But there are also some powerful old mercenaries who rely on their identity as B-level mercenary groups, and refuse to let go of their subordinates to live in small mercenary groups, and some people come to the blue enchantress to try their luck.
Although the blue enchantress is not on good terms with "Piercing Blood" and "Wild Wolf Fox", it is a battle between the upper echelons, and there is no real hatred between the mercenaries below, so Joan and Huey and others do not reject these two mercenaries who came to apply. The rules are the same, first look at the character and reputation in the mercenary circle, and then check the strength, as long as you meet the requirements of the mercenary group and swear to abide by the mercenary guidelines and the rules of the blue enchantress, you will accept it.
As soon as the door of the Blue Enchantress opened, the mercenaries of the two mercenary groups who were still waiting and waiting came to vote, after all, there was only the only B-level mercenary group left in Huaorez City, and there was no other choice at all, not to mention that the reward given by the Blue Enchantress's mercenary group was much higher than the "Piercing Blood" and "Wild Wolf Fox" where they were before.
In this way, many mercenaries with bad character and insufficient strength were eliminated, and the blue enchantress also absorbed seventy or eighty elite mercenaries from these two mercenary groups, which is equivalent to taking over all the remaining high-quality assets of the two mercenary groups.
In addition to receiving the family funds of these two families, the mercenary group also recruited nearly twenty new mercenaries who came to vote. The current Blue Enchantress has more than two hundred mercenaries, including as many as fifty or sixty mercenaries at the rank of captain, and it is the first mercenary group in Huaores City.
On the sidelines of the martial arts arena, Joan looked at the neat phalanx of hundreds of people cultivating the "Death Technique" together, and secretly felt proud in her heart, "When Arthur comes back, he will definitely be surprised!"
......
Arthur, as Joan thought to herself, was wandering above the blue sea.
The speeding boat broke through the white waves, and from time to time there were sea fish jumping out of the water, so close that they seemed to be able to reach out to it, white clouds fluttered overhead, and from time to time seabirds flew overhead.
The boat stopped suddenly.
"Have you arrived?"
Aretha looked at Arthur with a smile, "You're really comfortable, are you here to travel?"
Arthur was a little embarrassed, "What does my sister need me to do?"
"You're here to steer the boat. ”
Arthur scratched his head, "Then I need to find two oars." ”
"No, I'll teach you. You stand in my position, stimulate the fighting energy from your feet and gently wrap the whole boat, and then urge the fighting energy to create a reaction force with the water surface below and behind. Aretha began to instruct Arthur on the essentials of using vindictiveness.
Arthur's first attempt, the boat remained motionless on the water. On the second attempt, the rear of the boat caused waves several meters high, and the bow of the boat was cocked and almost overturned.
Aretha rises into the air, giving Arthur time to control his fighting spirit. After four or five attempts, the boat finally moved, first moving little by little on the water, and gradually began to become smoother, and moved at a constant speed on the surface.
Arthur was pleasantly surprised to find that the original Dou Qi could still be used in this way, and the process of using the Dou Qi to propel the boat on the sea was the same as the process of cultivating the control of the Dou Qi.
The boat continued to speed on the surface of the sea, but at a much slower speed than before, but the boat to enjoy the sea view was replaced by Aretha.
"Do you know why I'm going to Wrath Island this time?" Aretha asked, seemingly casually.
"Why?" said Arthur, and the boat stopped.
"Don't stop the boat, you have to be able to control the fighting spirit and talk to me at the same time, so that the fighting spirit control becomes a subconscious consciousness. "Aretha chatting is also exercising Arthur.
The boat continued on its way, and it was much later before Arthur continued to speak, but this time the boat did not stop.
"Don't you think this sea beast tide is weird?"
"It's the first time I've experienced something like this, and of course I don't see anything out of the ordinary. Arthur replied slowly.
"Although the sea beast ravages came a little suddenly, there are still traces in history, and the Norman kingdom as a seaside occasionally occurs once every hundred and eighty years. What is really strange is the kingdom's reaction to this beast tide, it is said that in the past, when the beast tide broke out, the kingdom would concentrate the army in the territory and call on mercenaries and rangers from other countries of the human race to help hunt sea beasts and guard fishing villages, but this time the kingdom only sent troops to guard important towns and arteries near the sea, and had an almost laissez-faire attitude towards the beast tide. ”
"Isn't it because of the war? The main forces of the kingdom's army are all facing off against Holo's army on the border, and they can't spare their troops to hunt sea beasts on the coast. ”
"It's a reason, but it's more of an excuse. It is true that the kingdom is short of troops, but the city guards in the interior and the private armies of the nobles can still easily draw 100,000 or 200,000 people. Even if you can't move the guards, you can issue bounties to the Terran countries through the Ranger Alliance and the Mercenary Guild, knowing that the Ranger and the mercenaries are currently neutral in this civil war. There are still many things that the kingdom can do if it wants to, but the kingdom has chosen the most incredible thing to do now. ”
"And what does this have to do with our trip to Nurtus Island?" Arthur didn't quite understand.
"The relationship between the Raging Waves Academy and the Norman royal family is extremely complicated, although it does not have a royal sign like the Blood Glory Academy of your Isaac Kingdom, the successive directors of the Raging Waves Academy have always been the king's most trusted prince. Now that the beast tide on the coast has reached such an extent, I want to see how much the Raging Waves Academy in the deep sea has been affected?"
Arthur seemed to understand what Aretha meant, and by accident he might have come into contact with a huge conspiracy, and now he regretted following him......
