Lord of the North

Similar things happened here in the northern regions that had already fallen under the rule of Jason. Many small and medium-sized mercenary regiments with high reputation were accused of various crimes, and then punished in public and even lords.

Some of these mercenary regiments that have been exposed to various scandals or crimes have committed all kinds of crimes, while others have suffered catastrophe because of ignoring or ignoring the rules of the mercenary union.

Because the iron tooth collar government had always treated the mercenary union with a free-ranging attitude, most of these mercenary regiments did not take the forces behind the mercenary union into their hearts.

After these people have made a name for themselves in the mercenary world, they more or less have the mentality of being daring and ambitious.

However, it was only a large-scale joint operation between the mercenary union and the military under Jason's command that made these mercenary groups see the facts clearly.

No matter how much reputation and credibility they have among civilians and businessmen, in Jason's eyes, they are really not much stronger than the bandits that once ran rampant in the north.

I have ignored their lawlessness before, it is entirely because they have not really been taken seriously by these superiors.

At the same time, those large mercenary regiments that have reached hundreds of people have also been in a state of fear.

For example, the leaders of the Sword and Fire Mercenary Corps are sitting in a conference room in their mercenary garrison worriedly.

At the same time, sitting here are some large and small captains of the Jianhuo Mercenary Corps. Although these people are not extraordinary, their combat skills have also been honed in life-and-death fights.

Even the small commander-level soldiers in some ordinary legions under Jason's command may not be their opponents.

This is one of the reasons why the Swordfire Mercenary Group has risen rapidly in a short period of time. With a group of extraordinary members and the trade union's reputation rating is still so high, those caravans will of course spend a lot of money to recruit them.

This can be seen from the size of their residence, this large estate located on the outskirts of Lucca is almost comparable to a small village.

"My lord, the Iron Fang Territory government is clearly cleaning up those mercenary regiments that do not obey the management of the mercenary union. Anyone who is not weak will be approached by them. What should we do next?"

The first person to speak was a deputy head of the Swordfire Mercenary Group. He was a chubby young man. His name was Grand, and he didn't look like a commoner in terms of his appearance and clothing.

On the contrary, he looked more like a nobleman, but he didn't know why he ran away from the job of licking blood with a knife. At this time, he was looking at a middle-aged man with a tough face sitting on the first seat with a sad face. .

This is the head of the Sword and Fire Mercenary Corps. His name is Cassie. He is a peak knight, but he is only a commoner. He was very dissatisfied, so one day he left a letter and left.

He has been wandering in the north for so many years, until Jason established the mercenary union, which gave him a hope for the future, so he invested his only property in it without hesitation, and established the sword fire mercenary union. group.

This small mercenary group with only four or five people has gradually become the largest and most powerful mercenary organization in several nearby provinces under the careful management of his extraordinary powerhouse.

They even accepted the tasks issued by the Lucca provincial government and completed them perfectly, which led to his sword and fire mercenary group being favored by many chambers of commerce, so his mercenary group grew bigger and bigger.

It's just that the recent actions of Jason's men have made them worried.

"If I had a way, would I have summoned you in such a hurry?" Cassie smiled bitterly, and then asked back.

"Gran, you are also a member of the aristocratic class. Haven't you heard any rumors?" At this time, another deputy head also asked anxiously.

He is the third extraordinary powerhouse of the Sword Fire Mercenary Corps, his name is Mark, his appearance is ordinary and there is nothing special about him,

Even his weapon is a very ordinary iron sword.

But he is a very affectionate and righteous person. He was favored by Cassie a few years ago, so when Cassie asked him if he wanted to join his mercenary group, he agreed without hesitation.

"How could my family's influence have access to these core information?"

Grand spread his hands helplessly. Since Jason had greatly weakened the rights of the northern nobles with the help of force and the temptation of interest, it was difficult for these nobles to be as inextricably linked with the government as before, let alone come into contact with them. It's confidential.

And if these nobles want to enter the government and serve in the army, they still need to undergo an assessment, and they don't even have the slightest privilege at all.

Therefore, some nobles made troubles because of this, but Zola ruthlessly suppressed their arrogance and deprived them of the opportunity to join the government.

Even worse, he was directly deprived of his noble status.

"Let's not talk about me, even my father and my brother don't have the opportunity to get in touch with these things."

Grand added that his father and brother both worked in government agencies in the city of Lucca, one in the tax office and the other in the security forces.

Originally Grand wanted to join the army, but his father severely reprimanded him and ordered him to give up the idea.

"Although the mercenary union is managed by people from the government and the army, it still has a lot of autonomy. The relationship between them is more like a cooperative relationship, so it is impossible for my father and the others to get the relationship."

After pondering for a while, he added that Cassie and the others had not had the opportunity to get access to this kind of information, so Grand reminded them.

"That's really troublesome."

Although Cassie was expressionless, he clenched his fists secretly. He felt very powerless now. Facing the forces under Jason's command, he couldn't think of any resistance at all, but he really didn't want to let his hard work go like this In vain.

The captains present also looked solemn, unable to think of any useful countermeasures, and the conference hall fell into a desperate and tense atmosphere.

"But...but, you... don't you think everyone is thinking too much?" At this moment, a tense voice broke the solemn and tense atmosphere.

Everyone followed the voice and saw that it was a teenager in his teens, who looked about the same age as Jason, or even a little younger.

At this moment, he was looking at Cassie and Grand with a reserved face, looking very nervous, his palms were sweaty.
