Huaorez.

The aftermath of the war between the two tribes, thousands of miles away, has reached this small border town.

In the streets and alleys of the city, teahouses and wine shops, most of the news gossip is about the war. No one in the small town has ever really seen the Sea Clan, and all kinds of gossip information about the Sea Clan are flying all over the sky, and people describe the terrifying appearance of the Sea Tribes with their own imagination.

In addition, there are significantly fewer caravans trafficking goods to the inland areas of the kingdom, expensive furs and herbs are no longer as popular as before, and some materials for making weapons and armor above the level of excellence have become sought-after goods, and even the trade between the two clans with the Blue Enchantress mercenary group has been more or less affected.

In addition, there are many nobles and wealthy families in the city, which are all means of refuge arranged in advance by smart rich people. This place is thousands of miles away from the battlefield, and even if the Isaac Kingdom can't stop the Sea Clan in the end, it will take a few years for the alien race to really fight here.

Because of the families and possessions of these relocated nobles and wealthy people, the mercenary business of the Blue Enchantress Mercenary Group has been extremely hot recently. The more chaotic the world, the greater the demand for mercenaries, not to mention these rich nobles who are not bad for money, for the sake of safety, they must find the strongest mercenary group.

On the martial arts arena of the Blue Enchantress Mercenary Group, Arthur, who had just finished practicing martial arts, was pacing back and forth with a slight frown.

Although the mercenary business is booming, Arthur's mood has been extremely irritable recently.

The battle of Sauron Canyon two months ago was finally unable to stop Serenda from activating the magic array. Arthur had later figured out from Sarayn that the magic array at the foot of the Holy Sword Peak was only one of the joint sealing circles of the various clans, and the object of the seal was none other than the Sea Clan's Azure Crystal Palace. Arthur often felt guilty because of this, and always felt that there was always a part of his own responsibility for the devastation caused by the landing of the Sea Clan.

Another thing is the promotion of the Blue Enchantress to the A-rank mercenary group. Seeing that most of the one-year period has passed, another A-class mission has not yet been completed. Don't look at the mercenary group's current hot missions, but the difficulty of these ordinary escort missions is not up to A-level at all.

"It's finally time for the exciting task!" Qiong Xing rushed into the backyard.

"Got bored lately?"

"It's all the duty of escorting noble ladies and ladies all day, and those who have a lot of people and big tempers are annoying!" Joan complained.

"Annoying, I see that you laugh with those ladies and ladies every time, you should be happy with it, right?" Arthur said lightly.

"Didn't you notice that every time those women took the initiative to come to His Highness's side, if it wasn't for the mission of the mercenary group, His Highness wouldn't be too lazy to make peace with them?"

Arthur didn't bother to dismantle him, and turned back to the point: "What is it about the mission that excites you so much?"

Joan's face was excited: "Go to the battlefield and hunt the Sea Clan!"

Arthur's expression became solemn, "Is the situation on the battlefield so severe that we mercenaries need to go to war?"

"According to the information revealed by Venegia, Locke has almost been wiped out, and most of the Locke land occupied by Isaac before has been lost, and the 300,000 troops with iron flow and blazing fire as the main force have taken the initiative to retreat to the area of Sulua Forest on the border between the two countries to resist danger. Strachage knew that with 300,000 troops, he would never be able to stop the attack of the Sea Clan's army, so the entire kingdom mobilized, and the Praetorian Guard Legion, the City Guard, and the noble private army were mobilized to form another 300,000 legions to push to the front. ”

"What does that have to do with our mercenaries?" Arthur was a little puzzled.

"It will inevitably take some time to re-form the legion, so the Isaac Kingdom has joined forces with the five major trade unions of the Wizards Union, the Mercenary Union, the Assassins Union, the Thieves Union and the Ranger Alliance to jointly issue a bounty mission, dispatching a small group of elite combat forces of the Terrans to attack and harass the Sea Clan army and assassinate the high-ranking generals of the Sea Clan, so as to buy time for the kingdom to form and train the legion. ”

"Harassing the guerrillas is indeed a good way, but facing the Sea Clan army with a single force is probably a life-and-death mission, right?" Arthur said worriedly.

Joan shrugged her shoulders absently, "Not necessarily. As the Sea Clan occupies more and more land in our Terran countries, their forces have been stretched thin, and the forces patrolling and guarding the key passes are very weak, and the bounty tasks are all aimed at the scattered forces of the Sea Clan, and getting rid of these peripheral forces will make them extremely passive on the battlefield. ”

"And the reward for this mission is very generous, the head of a Sea Clan general is counted as an A-level task, and the honorarium is 100,000 gold coins, and the head of a Sea Clan commander who is equivalent to the strength of our Terran War School is counted as a B-level mission, and the reward is 10,000 gold coins. With such a lucrative mission, there will definitely be a lot of people who are willing to take the risk! Well, are you interested? I want to see how powerful those Sea Clan guys really are?"

Arthur is still hesitating, the A-class mission is of course urgently needed by the mercenary group, but it is not easy to hunt the sea clan generals in the sea clan occupation area, once surrounded by the sea clan army, there is absolutely no life or death!

"What are you hesitating about such a great opportunity?" Joan grumbled dissatisfied.

Arthur sighed softly: "Although our mercenaries are risky professions, as long as we control the risk of the mission, we will not easily lose our lives, but if we want to take them to the battlefield, life and death are up to us!"

"Hunting the sea clan at the level of commander and general doesn't need the brothers below, a few of us are enough. "Joan is ready to go to war.

While Arthur was still hesitating, the mercenary Hag Jr. walked into the arena with a letter, "Commander, I just received a letter from Cororan. ”

The city of Cororan was Arthur's county, and Arthur unfolded the letter with a wry smile.

Joan leaned his head over, and then laughed and said, "You don't have a choice this time, you have to go to the battlefield if you don't go to the battlefield!"

It turned out that the letter came from the mayor of Corolan City, Larkin, to the effect that he had just received an edict from the king, "All nobles in the kingdom who have fiefs must send half of their private troops to the border within a month according to the upper limit to assist the kingdom army in fighting, and those who do not obey the order or use the old, weak, sick and disabled to deal with them directly deprive them of their titles and fiefs." ”

This was actually a compulsory conscription order, and the nobles had to take responsibility when they enjoyed the huge benefits brought by the title, and the nobles had to bear the crisis with the king at critical moments. Arthur, the earl, was allowed to raise a thousand private troops according to the rules, and this order meant that Arthur had to bring at least 500 soldiers to the battlefield.

"Looks like you have to take this mercenary mission!"

Arthur sighed lightly, "Even if I go to the battlefield, I have to discuss it with my master first." ”

"No need, those bastards of the Norman royal family dare to collude with other races, I have already come up with this evil breath!" Aretha's voice had already floated over.
