A strange world

Chapter 487 Section 144. A bunch of bastards

Rem Mercenary Group, or rather, the infamous Rem Mercenary Group.

They are notorious for their cunning and cruelty. Especially Machiavelli, the leader of the mercenary group, a guy who is good at deception and disguise, and uses the weaknesses of human nature to achieve his own goals...such as deceiving Francois.

After all, Francois had just arrived, and he was disguised by Machiavelli, thus ignoring the despicable past of the Rem mercenary group.

As soon as the Rem mercenary group arrived in Free City, they ran out of the long wall non-stop, drove away the nearby Mad Dog Archduke spies, and then dispersed the rangers to find nearby villages. Then they rushed to the village, killed all the men, and cut Take their heads and return to Liberty City to collect the bounty.

They are already very skilled at doing this.

"This is against the rules... We agreed to hire you at 120 gold coins every seven days." Francois said with a frown.

"This is the unspoken rule of mercenaries, Mr. Minister." Deputy Captain Armando said humbly: "Appropriate rewards will motivate us...otherwise you will see a group of mercenaries only showing their strength..."

"For the sake of these heads." Francois couldn't make up his mind and decided to lead them to see Annan, "But don't take them to the city lord's palace."

Not long after, Annan saw this group of mercenaries. Their equipment was in the style of the knights, except for Machiavelli, the leader of the group, who clutched a heavy sword.

Deputy Commander Armando repeated what he had said to Francois, and Francois testified: "A total of seventy-three heads."

But Annan was not prepared to pay the money - if he dared to take it out, Ilimoyas would fall from the sky.

"Mr. City Lord, then we can only complete the content of the 'commission'." Deputy Captain Armando narrowed his eyes and said with emphasis.

Their attitude made Annan unhappy, but he didn't say anything. After they went out, he asked Francois: "You didn't take them to see Dean Blehim?"

Francois smiled bitterly: "They have been staying outside the city wall. I thought they didn't have much idea."

Ilimoyasi didn't intimidate them either. Annan thought about it and changed Femi back from the north.

Femi, who exudes the ferocity brought by the Rat Killer, should be able to intimidate this group of mercenaries who don't have much respect.

The Rem mercenary group stopped attacking. They really just drove away the enemies approaching the long wall. It didn't take long for Mad Dog Archduke's spies to form a tacit understanding with them: they would not go near Liberty City, and the Rem mercenary group would not cause trouble to them.

At first Annan thought it was pretty good, at least Mad Dog Archduke's people no longer intruded on the outside, but then they changed their approach: sneaking into Liberty City through forest mountains and merchant ships.

They were lurking in Liberty City, looking for opportunities to get close to the city lord's palace, and causing trouble everywhere in the city, causing a lot of trouble.

But even so, Itilia did not order the port to be closed, but only asked the musketeers to keep an eye on the port.

During this period, the witch's identity was also suspected, but she proved her innocence: an invitation letter from Red Dream Town. She is actually a student at the Magic Academy.

After the Mad Dog Archduke's infiltration into Liberty City was extinguished, the merchant ship actually encountered marauding pirates.

It is unknown whether they were members of Mad Dog Archduke or pirates who came after smelling the smell of blood. Or the magic cannon installed on the merchant ship fired a few shots to scare away the pirates who thought there was a magician on board.

During this period, the Rem mercenary group really only abided by the mandate in the contract - staying on the periphery and motionless.

To outsiders, it seems that Liberty City will not be able to survive for long, but to the people of Liberty City, life is still the same as usual. On the seventh day, the Rem mercenary group came to the city lord's mansion again.

The maid Abby led the mercenary group to the living room, and when she was about to go out to bring tea, the deputy captain Armando suddenly caught her.

"Please let me go!" Abby, who couldn't get away, pretended to be calm: "I am Mr. Annan's head maid, not a tavern girl."

At this time, Itilia came in with a wheelchair and stared at Armando who slowly let go of Abby: "Get out."

"This is a misunderstanding, Madam Vice City Lord..." Armando tilted his head and winked at the group leader Machiavelli, and the test had a result: it seems that he still can't get the money this time.

Abby rubbed her pinched red wrist and ran to the door, and bumped into Ingrid walking in with a gloomy face.

"What's wrong?" Itilia had never seen Ingrid's expression before.

Ingrid glanced at the Rem mercenary group, then whispered into Itilia's ear: "Our people discovered that a nearby village had been looted, and all the villagers'... heads were cut off."

The eldest sister's gentle eyes froze for a moment, then fell on the mercenary group with different expressions.

"Do we have evidence?"

"The woman from that village escaped."

Annan, who came after hearing the news, interrupted her.

"Annan, something happened."

Annan, who was still preparing to welcome the Rem mercenary group, saw Idilia's disgust that had never appeared before, and suppressed his smile.

After Ingrid whispered about the massacre in the village, Annan looked indifferently at the mercenary group who realized that they had been exposed.

"You guys can't leave for the time being."

Mr. Swaro stepped out of the teleportation array. Before he spoke, Annan said: "Mr. Swaro, they killed seventy-three villagers. They chopped off their heads and pretended they were the heads of the enemy."

"That's...disgusting."

Mr. Schwarro, who taught Alice, obviously also had a sense of justice. His disgust was not concealed: "Do you want their bodies or their souls?"

"Be alive to feel the pain."

Machiavelli moved his left hand behind his back and explained: "They were just a group of civilians..."

Annan shook his head gently: "The Mad Dog Archduke didn't do what you did..."

"attack!"

The mercenaries acted simultaneously under the sudden order of deputy captain Armando, but in front of an epic mage, their every move was as ridiculous as shaking babies.

The sudden weakness spell made them as weak as young children. Countless magician hands emerged from the void, firmly restraining the mercenary group.

"They are all safe and sound and can bear the pain 'newly'." Mr. Schwaro's voice had a hoarse depth.

"Thanks……"

Annan asked the guards outside to send the mercenary group to the dungeon.

"You violated the contract!" Machiavelli yelled unwillingly. He didn't expect that they would end up in a small and remote town.

"No, the contract became invalid the moment you massacred the villagers."

"I have a title, you are not qualified to judge a noble!"

Annan was too lazy to answer and asked the guards to drag the twisting Machiavelli out.

"Remember to tell me the results."

Mr. Swaro left a message, stepped into the portal and left.

Annan and his eldest sister went to meet the escaped woman. After hearing about the crimes committed by the Rem mercenary group, they thought that they would come with their heads to ask for the reward... If he had agreed to it at that time, the surrounding villages would have been destroyed. .

His stinginess actually saved the nearby villagers.
