Blue Sword

"Cang Qing Sword?"

Before Andrea could react, Herman next to him thought of something and frowned and asked:

"The last time you were hunting the Templars in Stanimarca, the other side killed von Kersim first and took away his rifle?"

"Oh!" Andrea immediately woke up, and then showed a complicated expression.

Stealing heads and the like are commonplace in large mercenary groups. After all, this thing is purely based on strength. If your fists are not big enough, there is nothing you can do.

Moreover, the size of the fist is related to the number of people attending each mission, and the number of people present is directly related to the labor cost. Therefore, "how to attend with fewer people" to "overwhelm competitors and complete the mission" is a perennial question for the headquarters of major mercenary groups. research questions.

For example, the headquarters of the Iron Cross Mercenary Group even hired professional accountants and actuaries from Venis to evaluate and calculate the difficulty of various tasks and the corresponding attendance numbers.

Of course, they can only estimate, not predict.

For example, it was estimated that this task could be solved with about 200 people. However, upon arriving at the scene, it was discovered that the "Freedom Wind" mercenary group on the opposite side had 300 people. Naturally, they could not compete with each other for the task.

If you can't beat them, then the various expenses incurred by your 200 people during mission attendance will become a complete loss because they don't receive mission rewards.

It is not that the major mercenary groups have never thought about cooperation. For example, today I sent out 300 people, and you sent out 300 people. Neither of us has the ability to stabilize the other's strength, and we don't want to directly kill each other and cause a lose-lose situation, so we simply cooperate to complete the task. Even sharing of rewards is something that happens occasionally.

Of course, the premise is that no one shows any flaws throughout the whole process.

If one of the parties suffers heavy casualties during the mission, I'm sorry, but I have to change the previously agreed upon matters. Why? Because your fist is not strong enough now! If my fist is not strong enough, what kind of integrity can I tell you?

The hunt for the Templar von Kersim could have been a model of friendly cooperation between the two parties.

At that time, Matthews of the Free Wind led slightly more mercenaries, and in terms of individual strength, Andrea's side was better.

Neither side is sure of killing the other, so they can cooperate to kill the mission target and then share the mission reward equally.

Unexpectedly, a small mercenary group called Cang Qing Sword intervened. They first defeated Feng Kesim in a sniper duel, and then despicably ran away before everyone could react.

By the time the Iron Cross and Freewind people arrived at the scene, Feng Kesim was already dead and their weapons were taken away.

Half of the Templars, originally worth 1,000 pounds, were taken away, leaving only their heads worth 500 pounds. If there was only one mercenary group, it would be okay, but if the two mercenary groups had to share the 500 pounds equally, then the cost-effectiveness of this mission would be a bit ugly.

Therefore, Andrea and Matthews had various intrigues and intrigues along the way, plotting against each other, frame-ups, poisoning, misleading, and alienation. The two sides even almost broke out into full-scale conflicts several times. In the end, von Kersim's head was finally sent to death. Went to the nearest Catholic parish.

Then each received 250 pounds...

Andrea still has a toothache when he thinks about it now. He worked hard for so long and only earned a mere 250 pounds. He was also criticized by the headquarters for the sniper's failure, and his year-end performance was also affected.

It's all that Cang Qing Sword's fault!

Seeing the complicated expressions of the two mercenaries, the two kings of Sparta were also a little surprised. They originally planned to just throw out this name, and then they could explain "The Spartans have already cooperated with the Blue Sword, so you don't have to worry about the Iron Cross Mercenary Group."

Unexpectedly, looking at Andrea's expression and reaction, it seemed that he had known Cangqing Sword for a long time and had had some unfriendly interactions with him.

So Kapsus winked quickly, and Rudasius immediately understood and hurried out to find Asik.

————————

In the open space near the dormitory, Eleanor, Paige and Hidliba were sparring, with Aske watching from the side.

The outside circle of the open space was surrounded by Spartan boy scouts. Hood squeezed among the Spartan teenagers, gritting his teeth and staring at Ask.

I was inexplicably taken to the Boy Scouts, and then inexplicably trained for a whole day, including physical training such as cross-country loading, military stance, 100-meter obstacle sprint, and javelin throwing.

Although there were adult Spartan warriors who took special care of him and did not cause any harm to him, the sore muscles from sweating were unavoidable.

Ask, this bastard, I thought that if he didn't join the formal establishment of the mercenary group, he would have no reason to train me, but I didn't expect that this guy would use dirty tricks!

If I don’t take revenge for this, I swear I won’t be a human being!

"Hey, is that the Blue Sword you were born from?" several Spartan teenagers asked Hood.

"How amazing! That blond-haired warrior!" Someone said in admiration, "Look at her skill in wielding a shield. She can even receive such a domineering attack. Her experience is definitely no worse than that of our instructors!"

"And the one with black hair, her movements are so fast! Faster than the strongest 100-meter track and field athlete in Athens! I can barely see her movements clearly!"

Everyone expressed their envy in unison. Children always admire the strong, and even Hu De felt proud, and for a moment he became elated.

"Hey, what's the point? You guys are so rare." Hood made a disdainful expression, "Did you see that the man standing next to the venue is the leader of our Cang Qing Sword mercenary group? Then He is a truly super strong person, even the three of them on the field can't defeat him."

"Really?" The Spartan boys' eyes suddenly lit up.

"Hey, Hood, where do you rank in the Cang Qing Sword mercenary group in terms of combat effectiveness?" A young man asked curiously.

"Ahem. I'm not an adult yet, it's different." Hood was a little embarrassed.

"Isn't that black-haired girl underage?" Another boy said.

"Uh..." Hood hesitated for a moment, then immediately patted his chest and said, "I'm not bragging. Our leader has a good relationship with me and often teaches me some fighting skills. Although I am not an adult yet and my physical fitness is not as good as that of adults, but His combat effectiveness ranks among the top ten in the regiment."

"Oh oh oh oh." The Spartan boys nodded repeatedly, with admiration on their faces.

While Hood continued to brag among the teenagers, the battle on the field had already decided the winner.

Although the "Golden Finger" used to improve the stealing ability was returned to Quintus after the defense of Olympus City, Peggy has been able to stably separate an additional phantom by virtue of her extensive practical experience during that period.

She waved her dagger flat, and then a phantom appeared, attacking Hidrifa from the left and right.

Hidrifa naturally knew the power of the Immortal Illusion Sword, and quickly fired a whirlwind to force the two of them back.

When her back was turned to face her, Eleanor raised her shield and charged forward, knocking Hidrifa to the ground from behind.

"Wonderful battle!" The Spartan teenagers clapped and cheered.

However, the next scene immediately left them stunned.

Hildelife groaned and lay on the ground refusing to get up.
