Blue Sword

When old Pablo took Aske away, the expression on his face was extremely proud, especially when he saw Turaso still maintaining an elegant and indifferent smile, but the coldness in his eyes could not be hidden at all. when.

After taking Asker to the grand leader's office, Old Pablo went in to introduce him, and quietly mentioned the matter of Turaso, then closed the door and exited.

"So, His Highness also took a fancy to your strength, right, Mr. Asker?" Deslar put down the information in his hand and raised his head.

"Haha." Ask didn't speak, just smiled, took out the identity document issued by the Holy See from his arms, and placed it on Deslar's table.

Deslar read the document in silence and said with some surprise:

"It turns out to be the leader of Cang Qing Sword... Yes, I have heard of your name. The Iron Cross Mercenary Group used to be in awe of you."

His wording here is very careful, it is "awe" rather than "praise", which shows that the Iron Cross Mercenary Group does not have the attitude of the seniors appreciating the juniors who have entered the industry, but treats the Cangqing Sword as an opponent who can rival itself. of.

This may sound a bit unbelievable, but considering the prominent status of some members of the other team, it seems not difficult to understand.

Not to mention the eldest lady of the Licinius family, the Holy See is very fond of her and has launched various publicity campaigns in Italy. As for the other Miss Eleanor, the Iron Cross Mercenary Group and other colleagues have already joined forces not long ago. I have been angry before:

His Majesty, the Holy Solomon Empire, wanted to meet this Miss Eleanor.

The specific reason is not clear. Anyway, you can probably guess that it is nothing more than a bloody plot about an illegitimate daughter. In short, the people from the Iron Cross Headquarters said that if any of the mercenary group colleagues encounter the Cangqing Sword on the mainland, please tell the local Iron Cross branch, and they will send someone over as soon as possible.

It's a favor. There are not many opportunities to make the Iron Cross Mercenary Group owe a favor. Not only the mercenary groups in the industry, but even some small principalities are afraid that they cannot ignore this opportunity.

The Holy See in Italy is probably the only exception, so when they vigorously promoted the achievements of the Blue Sword a few days ago, the people of Iron Cross did not dare to directly go to Solomon City - the relationship between Shinra and the Holy See has not changed since that war. After that, it has not returned to normal yet.

If it were Deslar before, he would be more inclined to tell Iron Cross: The Blue Sword you are looking for has come to our Iberian Peninsula! However, after meeting the leader named Ask, the leader of the Bull Mercenary Group suddenly changed his mind.

Some kind of intuition based on past experience told him that a good relationship with the Cangqing Sword might be more valuable than exchanging favors with the Iron Cross.

"I'm taking the liberty to ask." Deslar asked him to take a seat, and then asked with a smile, "This document should be issued by the Holy See to the royal family of Aragon and Castile to prove to them your identity.”

"Why didn't you go directly to the royal capital of Lleida or Valencia to find the city lord? Instead, you came directly to our Bull Mercenary Group?"

"It depends on our purpose." Ask asked him, "What is the purpose of the Bull Mercenary Group's participation in this undead war?"

"In order to preserve our basic base." Deslar replied, "Whether it is the former Catalan Mercenary Group or the current Bull Mercenary Group, our basic base has always been the Iberian Peninsula. Kingdom of Aragon and Castile.”

"Because of this." Asker waved his hand, "You are stationed in the city of Valencia on the front line and not elsewhere, right? If Valencia falls, the undead can go north along the Orange Coast and defend it. It’s much more difficult.”

"Yes." Deslar understood what he meant and asked, "So the purpose of your coming here is also to help defend the kingdom? But if this is the case, you can go to the Lord of Valencia with the certification documents. "

"So our purpose is not to defend the kingdom." Asker pointedly said, "Besides, we are just a small, elite team."

"I understand." Deslar pondered.

Of course, a small elite team cannot be used in the regular army. It would be too wasteful. The most suitable tactic for them is the scalpel, which means using them as special forces to complete some extremely difficult special tasks.

Such as infiltration behind enemy lines, removal of strongholds, sniping and killing important figures, etc.

On the other hand, if they defect to Valencia, there is a high probability that they will be mixed into the city guard knights and become part of the city defense force.

After all, for the city lord of Valencia, going to the southern plateau to fight the undead is completely high-risk and low-yield. It is better to defend his own territory to ensure that the benefits are not lost. This is the typical thinking of feudal nobles.

In other words, not long after arriving in the Iberian Peninsula, the leader fully understood the current situation and immediately made the most rational decision, right?

Deslar, who was thinking this way, unknowingly raised his evaluation of the Blue Sword team to a higher level.

"Let's do this." Deslar pulled out a few documents from the pile of documents next to him. "We have some difficult tasks here. We originally planned to send them to the Aragon Assault Legion, but they currently don't have enough manpower."

"If Cang Qing Sword is interested in this aspect, you can choose one to take over. We will divide the reward according to the ratio of seven to three, seven of you and three of us."

Asker took the document and flipped through it, and saw keywords such as "Lusitania Forest", "Badajos Jungle Area" and "Half-Elf Tribe" in one of the documents.

If he remembered correctly, the demigod Maya whom Mi'er knew should have his power entrenched in the hilly area of ​​Badajoz. There are dense forests all over there, the roads are rugged and difficult to navigate, and there are many half-elf tribes scattered there, making it difficult for humans and undead to invade.

"That's it." He kept the document and returned the rest to Deslar.

"Half-elves are not easy people to talk to." Deslar reminded, "Moreover, the terrain in the jungle is complex, and food, temperature, and disease are all risks. Of course, I believe you can handle these problems."

"Do you have a map of Lusitania here?" Ask asked.

"No, the half-elf tribe does not allow us to survey and map. They are very sensitive about this." Deslar shook his head, "However, our colleagues in the logistics department maintain regular trade with them, so they probably remember the route into the dense forest. , I will arrange for him to guide you."

"Okay." Aske said, "If possible, we plan to leave as soon as possible."

"Tomorrow morning, then?" Deslar said, "Nine o'clock in the morning."

"OK."
