Chapter 2003 Miscellaneous Chapters
The sun is shining, everything is new. A bald eagle flies beside the Fuxing airship. Herds of cattle, horses and sheep can be seen on the ground. Disasters in the distance have not spread to this peaceful land. .
After a night's rest, Inanija's condition was much better than yesterday. Bing Zhixie piloted the airship and found a place to stop near the town. He planned to have some breakfast here, and then Parted ways with Inaniga. Inanija carried a bag, took some medicine with her, spent a dozen coins, bought an abandoned war horse from the stables in the town, bought a map, and then headed east. .
......
At the same time, on the other side of the world, in the eastern half of the continent, tens of thousands of meters in the sky, the sun was blocked by dust and no sunlight could be seen. The ground plants are listless, making the beasts and working people lifeless.
In the beautiful Sussex County of Hido, the situation is slightly better, but the sky is still gloomy and the light shining down is also so cold. Sussex County was originally small. Later, as the local residents immigrated out of the country, it gradually became a slum where homeless people gathered. Since the outbreak of natural disasters, countless disaster victims have emerged in various places, and the unemployed population has increased significantly. This small city on the border of Hidome and Hebei has become a place to resettle disaster victims and dispersed mercenaries.
In front of a four-story red brick house in the second block of Sussex County, the heraldic flag of the Bloody Mercenary Regiment is hung on the main hall door. In the hall, Ba Naoqian is sitting in a meeting in the hall. I was in front of the table in a daze, forgetting the lines on the table. Diagonally across from the long table, a regimental secretary was recording the recent regiment's expenses in a ledger.
He raised his head and glanced at the group leader, couldn't bear to be disturbed, closed the account and left the room. At this time, rain started to fall sparsely from the sky, hitting the large lattice glass windows, making a tinkling sound, and leaving dense specks of mud on the already dirty windows. This is where local magicians work together to wash away the dust from the sky with water magic. This is done once or twice a day, otherwise the dust flying outside will make it difficult to breathe.
Ba Naoqian came back to his senses from the sound of the window. He looked in the direction of the account where no one was already there, stood up slowly with one hand on the table, and let out another long sigh.
Four people came outside and knocked on the door of the hall. Ba Naoqian looked over and immediately put on a smile: "What's the matter?"
These four people were new members of the Bloody Mercenary Group a week ago. At this time, the four of them looked embarrassed. They walked in and looked at each other. The leader said: "Captain Ba Naogan, I am very grateful to you and these few people in the group." God will take care of us, but the mercenary business has been sluggish recently, so I think we have to find another way to make a living.”
< br>The smile on Ba Naogan's face gradually faded: "Ah, that's it. Well, if you want to come back to work in the future, the Bloody Mercenary Group welcomes you at any time. You go find Deputy Captain Emmason and then go to the mercenary group Let’s register with the military union.”
“Oh, okay.” The four people left quickly. Ba Naogan punched the table in displeasure.
The calamity has come, and various natural and man-made disasters and earthquakes have broken out one after another, making the mercenary business increasingly difficult to do. Although the mercenary union still adds many new tasks every day, the commissions have been significantly reduced. The number of disaster victims has increased, unemployment has increased, and the number of people who have turned to mercenaries in a short period of time has increased dramatically. When the work is divided, the mercenary organizations can take less and less work. In addition, the number of refugees in various places has increased, and the number of bandits and robbers has increased. The risks and costs for mercenaries have increased when performing tasks. So much so that those who work as mercenaries now can only make ends meet, and it has become difficult to support their families.
Since the Warcraft Forest and the group came back from the defeat, the development of the entire mercenary group has been going downhill. In fact, it is not that their mercenary group is not strong enough. Irina’s Wing-eared Red Dragon, Five Six The presence of high-level masters in the group and the reputation of Christian Bimoyer have always been their hallmarks for showing off their strength. These are indeed outstanding among the mercenary groups of the same level. But when times are bad, as is often the case, things get worse and worse for no apparent reason.
The rain stopped soon, and the washed sky looked much clearer. When Scar came in, he shook off the mud spots on his cloak. Thain and Susan came in with him.
"How is it?" Ba Naogan asked.
Sain took off his sword and threw it on the table. He found a wooden table and sat down. He shook his head and said, "I have been in the mercenary union for more than two hours and I haven't seen any good tasks. "
"No simple tasks? The finances in the group are a bit tight."
Susan said: "Captain, there are too many people blocking you there. The newly released tasks were snatched before they were displayed on the memory stone. I heard that someone took the back door, privately Money was given to the people in the union, and some tasks were taken over by other teams without being announced at all.”
Ba Naoqian said angrily: "This is too unruly."
Sain took a sip of boiled water and said: "I would like to complain and report, but it is just based on rumors and there is no evidence. Nowadays, there are more people and less work. If we don't spend some money and go through the back door, we can only do outside work. The price of external work is always not high, not to mention that the overall commission has been declining."
Scar asked: "I just saw the four new ones carrying their luggage, and they left?"< br>
"Yes, just go." Ba Naoqian said nonchalantly. Susan sighed: "After Sanchi and Luke left, our members have been decreasing. If this continues, the team will not be able to survive."
"Then let's disband." At this time, a short blond man wearing light armor and a helmet under his arm leaned against the door, holding a cigarette in his hand and jokingly said: "We 'Red Zufu' welcome you at any time. "
"Get out~!" Scar pushed back directly.
The Red Zufu Mercenary Group is adjacent to the Yuxue Mercenary Group. They also came from other places, but they came earlier than Yuxue. Although the two families are peers, they get along pretty well with each other. And the short blond man who was teasing them was a general of Red Zufu, nicknamed ‘Champion Knife Shock’.
Shockti rolled his helmet around in his hands and asked, "Don't be so bad-tempered. Didn't you receive a satisfactory mission?"
Thion put his arms on the back of his head, holding his head. He put his legs on the table and sighed: "Don't talk about it, I haven't opened a shop in half a month. The last order was from Big Lo, and it didn't cost much."
"That's really too bad." Shock said proudly, "I got a good deal today."
"Oh, what kind of good deal is it? Tell me." Scar asked.
Shock said: "I can't tell you this. It's not that I can't trust you. The risk of working now is too great. I'm afraid that the news will leak out."
"Then get out, don't You are angry with us here.”
Shock smiled and turned around to leave.
Susan said with a straight face: "This Shock is annoying to watch. He comes here deliberately every time to annoy us."
Scar said: "We have to find a big job to do. No matter it is Either to boost morale or to supplement finances, we need to take on a big business. Boss, what do you think?"
Ba Nao said: "I have reached a critical stage in the growth of my imitation elemental power. I want to spend some time. He needs time to improve his strength, and he might be able to make a breakthrough in a month or two."
Scar's eyes lit up: "Boss, you mean..."
Ba Nao nodded. Said: "I have this hunch, so I need to find a place to study with concentration for a period of time. During this period, the affairs of the regiment will be taken care of by the three deputy captains, you, Emmason, and Iveko."
Scarle said: "Don't worry, Iveco is a lonely guy, Emmason and I can take care of the affairs in the group."
"I have an appointment with my friends from the Bright Knight Hall later. Let’s leave first.”
After the leader left, the three of them discussed the development of the mercenary group together.
