Blue Sword

What is this? Andrea wanted to defend himself and said: "First, we only took 250 pounds; second, we need to support the team with 250 pounds."

However, he couldn't say these words, because it was conceivable that once he came up with these reasons, the other party only needed one sentence to block them back:

None of my business.

I am only responsible for helping you find Feng Kesim, so I want you to fulfill your promise. As for how much bounty you get in the future, how much it costs and how much profit you make, it’s none of my business.

To make matters worse, the surrounding Spartans also started talking about it.

As one of the few large mercenary groups, Iron Cross certainly has to consider its reputation. If this was a wilderness, Andrea wouldn't be talking nonsense with him. It would be good if he didn't kill Asker.

However, this is the Laconia plain, the city-state of Sparta, one of the largest cities on the Cyris Peninsula. If this rumor spreads that "Iron Cross Mercenary Group is cheating people out of pay", and it comes from Spartans who are always upright and don't bother to lie...

Andrea could almost imagine how the reputation of the Eastern Branch in the Siris region would plummet.

"Well, in this case, our Iron Cross Mercenary Group will not default on the debt." When he said this, Andrea's heart was bleeding. It wasn't that he couldn't bear to part with the five pounds, but that he hadn't experienced this feeling of suffocation for a long time.

Except for the last time in Stanimarca, when someone robbed a monster and took away the loot and then dropped a war-inducing message, making him and Matthews wary of various schemes, and finally completed the task after being exhausted both mentally and physically.

Counting out the coins worth five pounds and throwing the purse to Asker, Andrea looked up at the sky indifferently, determined not to say a word to the leader of the Blue Sword.

As a result, the next second, the Spartan King on the throne spoke.

"We plan to cooperate with Cang Qing Sword for this change, so I won't bother you Iron Cross."

Andrea:! ! !

He had just decided not to have any contact with Aske, so why did this happen!

As the leader of the Iron Cross Eastern Branch, faced with this kind of business being robbed, he could not pretend to be deaf and dumb due to circumstances or reasons, so he could only bite the bullet and said with a smile:

"I have no intention of interfering in your country's affairs, but should you consider this matter more carefully? The snow monster on Mount Taigetus must be dealt with by an experienced transcendent..."

"I think we can work together," Askew added.

Andrea looked at him in surprise.

"As Captain Andrea said, the Iron Cross Mercenary Group has a strong combat capability and is an indispensable help for the Spartan city-state to cope with this change." Asker said euphemistically.

The surrounding Spartans started talking rustlingly, because Agesilaus was easily defeated by the mercenaries on the opposite side, so no Spartan warriors spoke out to object. However, judging from their expressions, most of them Still not angry.

The two Spartan kings on the throne understood the implication of Asker's words: The Iron Cross Mercenary Group has brought so many people here, even if you plan to solve the mutation yourself behind closed doors, as long as they trouble you from the outside. It's enough for you to make trouble.

"Of course." Ask changed the topic, "It is really unreasonable to ask Sparta to pay. Isn't the Iron Cross Mercenary Group's trip here for spiritual materials? If you want spiritual materials, you can't ask for money."

"This is not possible." Andrea also knew that his price was too high, but he still had to argue with reason. "According to the rules of the mercenary industry, the reward for the mission belongs to the reward, and the extra loot belongs to the party that captured it. These are two different things."

"If this is the case, the Spartans don't need to hire the Iron Cross at all." Asker countered, "Not long ago, Sparta had sent people to Olympia to help them block the Crusaders' attack."

"In return, Sparta can ask Olympia to provide assistance to the arcane mage."

"Ha." Andrea sneered, "It takes at least four days to go back and forth from Sparta to Olympia. How many casualties will you have by then?"

"At most three days." Ask said calmly, "And Sparta can also hire Iron Cross to defend the city."

Hire us to defend the city? Andrea was stunned when she heard this.

The two Spartan kings on the throne laughed.

Hiring people to defend the city and hiring people to go into the mountains to clear out the enemy might seem like they are fighting snow monsters, but they are actually very different.

Assuming there are 100 snow monsters in the mountains, then at most 2-3 can be killed during the defense of the city. In fact, all the Iron Cross Mercenary Group can get is pure monetary reward.

This was far from their original plan of getting both money and spiritual materials.

When the magicians from Olin City arrived, the Spartans and the arcane magicians went into the mountains to clear them out. The Iron Cross Mercenary Group finally got nothing.

What if you don't accept the job? This is equivalent to breaking up. After all, your Iron Cross mercenary group brought a bunch of people here and said they wanted to discuss business with Sparta, but you didn't accept the deal?

If you don't accept it, just leave. What, you won’t leave? So what do you want to do here? Is he harboring evil intentions? This is Sparta's territory!

To put it bluntly, the Iron Cross Mercenary Group came here for the spiritual materials of the Yeti, but Andrea tried to package this as "helping the Spartans" in order to get an extra sum from Sparta. money.

Asker took advantage of this and went with the flow. Since you offered to help Sparta, let Sparta hire you to defend the city. The money will be given to you, but you can forget about the spiritual materials in the mountains.

The logic of this is a bit convoluted to ordinary Spartan men. However, the two kings on the throne are human beings. How could they not understand the mystery inside? They immediately agreed and said:

"Yes, although the Spartans themselves can solve the mutation, we also welcome the Iron Cross mercenary group to come from afar to help."

In a simple sentence, the behavior of the Iron Cross Mercenary Group is defined as "helping the fist". Since we are assisting in boxing, we can't talk about business. Talking about business will hurt our feelings.

The expressions of the surrounding Spartans also softened. Assisting the fist, this word sounds much nicer, and it will not bring shame to Sparta's dignity.

Seeing this, Andrea's eyelids jumped, and he felt that the good situation that he was originally sure about was slipping from his hands, but he couldn't refute it yet.

Once he says, "I'm not here to help you", "I'm here to discuss business with you", the Spartans can immediately say, "Okay, let's find the mage from Olin City to clean up the mountains. During this time, hire "You guys defend the city", then they won't even think about entering the mountain.

If they insist on following them into the mountains, they are trying to backstab them with ulterior motives. The Spartans are determined to turn against them, and the Iron Cross Mercenary Group cannot do that.

Their original negotiation strategy was to insist that "it will take time to go to Olin City to ask for help. How will you prevent the snow monsters from invading during this time?" in order to force Sparta to pay to hire them to solve the mutation.

As a result, Aske said, "Hire you to defend the city."

Andrea showed an almost frantic expression, clenching and unclenching her fists, and then clenching them again.

Reason told him that extorting money was out of the question. The most important thing he should do now was to use Po Xia Donkey to settle the matter of "assist boxing" to avoid unnecessary changes in the future.

But he was really frustrated! I have only met twice with the Cang Qing Sword Mercenary Group, and nothing good happened every time I dealt with them! They all tricked him into not giving up!

Andrea was really unwilling to be forced to give in again this time!

"Forget it." Herman put his hand on his shoulder and said calmly, "When someone sees through the cards, the negotiation will definitely lose."

The so-called trump card, of course, refers to the real purpose of the Iron Cross Mercenary Group, which is actually the spiritual material of the snow monster in the mountains.

"That's all it can do." Andrea sighed.

"What I'm more interested in is." Herman stared at Asik's figure, his eyes gradually becoming sharper.

"How did he figure out our true purpose?
