Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 487 487. Commission: Blood Wolf

"Great, great," said a voice.

Kassandra stopped and looked at the man walking out of the small room in the camp.

The man in front of him was as clean as a seagull, his light brown hair was combed forward, and the blue robe he wore unexpectedly fit him well. There were several conspicuous golden stripes diagonally on the robe, and his thin neck and wrists were Wear many bracelets and accessories.

Those things are not cheap, this is a rich man.

As we all know, there are few rich people on Kefalonia.

The man walked up to the still-dead archer, looked down at the man struggling and twitching on the ground, and then drew his short sword from his waist.

Naturally, like slicing a roasted chicken with a knife, he placed the dagger under the archer's neck and pulled it smoothly.

A pool of blood flowed from under the cut skin, and the twitching body fell into deathly silence.

As if he was very disgusted, the man held the dagger with a few fingers and placed it gently on the ground.

"Even for a mercenary, wiping the necks of those who work with you," Cassandra looked at the other party's actions coldly and warily, "what you did is a bit too cold-blooded."

The man patted his hands that were not dirty very naturally: "They don't work with me, they work for me."

"Working for you? You weren't hired by the one-eyed man. Who are you?"

At this point, Cassandra scratched her head in embarrassment, causing her braid to tremble on her left shoulder.

Marcos told him that these were the one-eyed man's men, so she came over and killed them all one by one, but now it turns out...she killed the wrong person?

When she acts, she never gives people a chance to speak, or even give people a chance to discover her.

But now, after killing all the people, she realized that she had killed them wrongly.

"I am Elpino from Kira."

The man answered calmly. He didn't seem to care at all about the life or death of his 'former' subordinate.

Kira? Cassandra thought. It was the gateway to Delphi, home of the famous Oracle.

"Judging from your skills just now, you are an excellent mercenary. Are you interested in making a lot of drachmas?"

Kassandra listened to what the other party said, and then she noticed the enthusiastic look in the other party's eyes when he looked at her bare arms. She raised her head, her eyes followed the bridge of her nose, and looked at the other party with some contempt.

"I won't sleep with anyone for money. Besides, you are old. Trust me, you can't stand my torture."

Elpino raised an eyebrow. "Oh, don't get me wrong. What I want is not your body, at least it has nothing to do with this aspect of desire. I will provide you with a reward in exchange for a head."

"Killing?" Kassandra withdrew her contemptuous gaze and nodded, "Then this is indeed a mercenary business, let's talk about it."

"A Spartan general has great prestige and reputation. People call him the 'Spartan Blood Wolf'."

Elpino said calmly.

"You want me to kill a general who leads the Spartan army?"

"The general is also a human being, and he can be killed even if he is a human being. And I have prepared a large sum of money for his death."

"Huh, that's right."

Cassandra snorted confidently. This sentence suited her well. She was confident in her own skills and strength, and her Spartan education in her youth even made her seem conceited many times.

"So you plan to take on this mission?"

"You just need to tell me where he is."

“Beyond the sea, in the most coveted land in the Greek world.”

Cassandra's eyes narrowed at these suggestive words.

She looked over Elpino's shoulder toward the eastern sky.

She thought of the haze of war at sea, and the endless stream of Athenian fleets she saw on the roof of her house, sailing towards the Gulf of Corinthia to strengthen the defense of Athens... Is it Megaris?

That 'blood wolf' is in Megaris?

Elpino, a man who looked like a snake, seemed to have seen through Cassandra's thoughts and confirmed it.

“In the tug-of-war between Sparta and Athens, the narrow strip of land in the Megares region served as the land link. Athens wanted the two ports to complete its naval lasso near Hylas, and Sparta wanted This land could serve as a bridge to Attica, allowing the army soldiers they looked down upon to march straight in."

"The Blood Wolf is a good general, that's undeniable. But he blocks my way and is harmful to my business, so I have to get rid of him."

"He blocked your way." Cassandra showed some curiosity. "This is too general. What exactly is he blocking your way?"

"What's wrong with me? Please, the whole Greek world is at each other's throats right now. If you can't clean up your own troubles, you will be cleaned up. Where did you come from?"

Facing Elpino's sarcasm, Kassandra seemed very down-to-earth and magnanimous: "Kefalonia."

I just don’t know how to do it, what’s wrong?

This kind of 'sincerity' obviously made Elpino unable to be sarcastic anymore.

"So.?"

At the end of his words, Elpino extended his hand to Cassandra. Those eyes still swept over those powerful arms covertly, making Cassandra feel like there was a snake crawling on her arms.

But for the reward, the wealthy life, and the vast world beyond Kefalonia, Kassandra still held Elpino's forearm after a brief thought.

The two people held each other's forearms and moved them up and down.

This represents friendship and the achievement of a common intention.

"I'll take this job and set off after I finish dealing with the one-eyed man."

Kassandra said crisply, then turned and left, appearing vigorous and resolute.

Elpino stood there, in the pool of blood of his men, watching her leave.

The eyes he looked at Cassandra were not full of lust, but the desire seemed almost the same as desire.

It was not until the figure of the Aegean beauty completely disappeared from sight that he regretfully moved his eyes away.

After a long time, several men wearing steel armor arrived and naturally began to clean up the situation for Elpino.

The craft of making iron has actually been studied in the Greek world during the time of Leonidas, but the output and quality have never been optimistic.

It can only be said that there is still a lot of room for development.

But on these people, the amount of armor they used did not seem cramped at all.

Vest-style steel body armor, leather skirt with steel armor, steel greaves, wrist armor, and a face-covering helmet with a grimace.

"Go and tell everyone that I have found Cassandra. And according to the plan, I fished her out of this remote place."

Elpino gave instructions to the armored soldier standing quietly behind him without looking back.

The armored soldier made a note on a piece of papyrus and put it away.

Then he didn't take action immediately. Instead, he leaned close to Elpino's ear and reported something in a low voice.

Elpino, who was originally as calm as a cold-blooded animal, slowly began to look interested while listening to the report.

"A new demigod bloodline? In Kefalonia? Is this really true?"

"Do you want to confirm first?" the armored soldier cautiously suggested. "We have been misled by rumors many times. If we spread the word to everyone without confirming it, wouldn't it have an impact on our prestige?"

"Yes, after all, we are the intelligence role in the organization. It will not look good if we make a mistake."

Elpino nodded expressionlessly.

"I remember that there was a mercenary who came with our ship and was quite famous?"

"[Sparkle] Anyu, she has two brushes. She is currently visiting the One-Eyed Man. I heard she wants to take a small job in Kefalonia."

"Then let her kill that demigod bloodline. How much money will the one-eyed man get? I can pay three times. If she succeeds, the target will be a fake, needless to say."

After the instructions were given, the armored soldiers began to execute the orders.

Elpino murmured alone.

"I hope it's not a fake. The 'Eye of Order' and the 'Bloodline Worshipers' need to improve their relationship. A demigod bloodline. Tsk, tsk, tsk, those idiots will be extremely happy."
