Chapter 570: Mercenaries Returning to Cape Bay
At the end of 1995 in the Holy Calendar, two pieces of news spread crazily in the Cape Bay area, especially in the countries along the coast.
The first news is that the Principality of Eton independently blocked the attack of the Skitarii from the north and pushed back beyond its own borders. This was achieved before the main force of the Eton army returned home.
The second news is that the Horned Bay Alliance army on the eastern front has finally conquered the Sigitas Fortress blocking the front and is advancing deep into the enemy's territory. The rumor is that the Alliance army is in this Huge casualties were paid in the battle, but Nisborg firmly denied it. According to public information, there were less than a thousand casualties.
After a series of twists and turns, Friedrich List finally returned to Nisberg, the capital of the Horn League. As the capital of the largest country in the Horn, this place is relatively the smallest. It's a safe place, and Nisborg is a port city. If anything happens, it's more convenient to escape by sea.
Because it was far away from the front line, Nisburg was still a scene of singing and dancing after sending off the soldiers. For those who did not personally participate in the war, the news from the front added a lot of talk. On the other hand, the church's several-year witch-hunting campaign had a huge impact on people's speech and life. Since the coastal countries, led by the Corner Bay Alliance, fell out with the church, all the restrictions that had been placed on people's heads have been suppressed. It disappeared overnight, and everyone happily went to the tavern to eat and drink, bragging and farting without any taboos, so during this time, the streets of Nisburg became more prosperous.
At this time, Liszt was staying in a tavern in the port area, with three people dressed as warriors sitting next to him.
"Then, thank you three for escorting us all the way. Let's part ways after this drink."
Liszt raised his wine glass and said to the three men dressed as warriors.
"You're welcome, Mr. Lister, no matter what, we have to be worthy of the commission you give us, and we will be honest."
Raja, who had a beard on his face, said that he and the other two people also raised their wine glasses and touched them with Liszt, and the four of them drank the wine in one gulp.
Liszt asked curiously: "So what are the plans of the three of you in the future?"
Raja glanced at his two companions and replied: "The three of us plan to be a pawn for the time being. Mercenaries..."
Before he finished speaking, a man on the table next to him suddenly stood up and shouted to them: "Mercenaries? Are you going to become mercenaries?"
The man came closer and Liszt could see his appearance clearly. He was a slightly fat middle-aged man with a round face wearing a pair of gold-rimmed round glasses and wearing a well-made silk robe. , seems to be a person from a well-off family.
Liszt did not interrupt. Raja looked at the other party and said: "Uh... my two brothers and I have this plan. I don't know, sir, you are..."
The middle-aged man bowed slightly to them and said : "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Sange Mahabhai. I am an intermediary. My main business is arms trading and military employment."
"Oh, it turns out to be Mahabhai. Lord Yi." Raja poured a glass of wine to greet him, and Mahabhai brought the wine himself.
The two had a drink, and the intermediary named Sange Mahabhai said: "The leaders of the major mercenary groups in the Horn Bay have friendships with me, especially those in the Corner Bay Alliance. If you want to become mercenaries, I can be an introducer and I will ensure that you can choose a satisfactory team."
His words aroused interest in Raja and others, and we soon started talking about this. Mahabhai talked very skillfully, and after a few words, it felt like the two parties had known each other for a long time.
Liszt, who was left alone, felt a little bored and felt that he should leave. Just as he was about to stand up and say goodbye, he suddenly saw Sange Mahabhai staring across from him.
"Oh my God! Could it be that today is my lucky day?"
Mahabhai looked straight at the door of the tavern, and Liszt followed their gazes, I saw a group of people who had just come in looking for seats.
"Hey! This way, this way, look here. Ferguson, Doug, do you still recognize me? Sangh Mahabhai." Mahabhai jumped on his feet and kept moving towards the person who just came in. The group waved their arms.
His actions attracted the attention of the group of people who had just come in. They turned their attention to Liszt's table. Two of them's eyes lit up when they saw Mahabhai. It seemed that they were the two old people in Mahabhai's mouth. knowledge.
The two men muttered to their companions for a while, and then walked towards Liszt's table with their companions.
"Mahabhai! I didn't expect to see you here."
Doug, the leader of the Black Dog Mercenary Group, said to him in surprise.
“Haha, I thought you had been hacked to death by your creditor.”
Ferguson, the leader of another mercenary group, said very venomously.
"Don't talk nonsense, my debt has been paid off long ago." Mahabhai said with a smile: "It's you, why haven't I heard from you in the past two years? I remember your last mission was Go..."
"Yes, Northwest Bay!"
Ferguson suddenly turned his face and stretched out his two hands at a speed that could not be seen, grabbing Mahabhai's piece. The exquisite silk robe lifted his feet off the ground.
“It’s all the good business you introduced that allowed me to mine coal in the Northwest Bay for two years. Do you know how I have lived these two years? I’m so confused!”
Ferguson shook his face and looked like he wanted to eat Mahabhai alive.
"Master Mahabhai!" Mahabhai's servants who had left him at the original table gathered around.
"It's okay, it's okay!" Mahabhai, who was mentioned by Ferguson, had a calm face, still smiling, and waved his hand to let his servant retreat.
"Ferguson, I am just an introducer. After you go to the battlefield, you hand over your destiny to the Lord of Light. What happens next has nothing to do with me. When you become mercenaries At that moment, weren’t you already prepared for this?”
But looking at Ferguson, he still didn’t want to let him go, and Doug also looked like he was watching a good show.
At this time, a companion beside Ferguson said, "Okay, Ferguson, don't cause trouble."
Ferguson put Mahabhai down reluctantly.
A single sentence actually made the mercenary leader who he thought was unruly and obedient, and Mahabhai couldn't help but cast a curious look at the man.
He smiled and asked the other person: "Sir, my full name is Sange Mahabhai. I don't know how to call you."
The man responded with a faint smile. : "My name is Bogdan, and I am the person sent by Doug and Fergus's employers."
