Chapter 171

"My lord, our Dragonstone mercenary group has taken over this mission." Emilys repeated, without the slightest hesitation, expressing her meaning clearly.

Both Torsedrin and Graham were very surprised.

Such an important matter, which is related to the future and even the survival of the mercenary group, is it too arbitrary for Emily to agree to it without thinking about it?

Only Ren, not too surprised.

When he saw Emily for the first time, he sensed from his soul that this lady seemed to have come prepared and knew what she was going to talk about today.

"I admire Ms. Emily's determination." Ren had a smile on his face, but he didn't immediately choose the Dragonstone Mercenary Group.

He still doesn't know the situation of the Dragonstone mercenary group, and both sides need to know something.

Torsedrin specially arranged for the representatives of the three mercenary groups to meet together instead of talking privately in turn. One was to save time, and the other was to be able to hire the most suitable mercenary group.

Normally, one would have to shop around to buy a demon soul, a business worth tens of thousands of gold shields, so one cannot be too cautious.

"Mr. Graham..."

Ren looked at the half-orc, and was about to ask about his decision, when Emilys interrupted him again, "My lord, do you doubt the strength of the Dragonstone mercenary group? Please rest assured, my lord, our mercenary group has sufficient numbers , must meet your requirements to rule the territory, and you don’t need to pay us a deposit, if the mission fails, I don’t want a single gold shield.”

Under normal circumstances, hiring a mercenary group requires a deposit in advance, which is equivalent to one-third of the total remuneration.

Ren was a little surprised at once, this Ms. Emily seemed a little overconfident.

He shot Torsedrin a questioning look.

The elf prince nodded slightly, "Master, Ms. Emilys has just been in Modu for a few years, and her reputation may not be as high as other mercenary groups, but her strength is definitely not a problem. The few missions I have handled have been very smooth. It's done, and the employer is very satisfied."

Ren heard the information in the words. This lady is an outsider with a mysterious background, and Torsedrin is not very clear about it, or he is unwilling to say it in person.

A foreign mercenary group is not in Mordu at all, and of course it will not be afraid of the liquidation of the local nobles.

He suddenly realized that it was no wonder the other party accepted the task so readily.

Seeing that Graham was still hesitating, Ren ignored him and asked, "Ma'am, how many people are there in your mercenary group?"

"One hundred and fifty centaurs are all adult excellent warriors." Emilys said softly: "There are another sixty iron guards, equipped with standard armor and weapons, all of which are above the second level; There are also seven or eight extraordinary people, including three spellcasters, besides me, there is also a legendary swordsman."

Ren was a little stunned when he heard that, the strength of the Dragonstone Mercenary Group far exceeded his expectations.

Centaurs are a very strong race, spread all over the prairie in the north of the empire, forming hundreds of tribes, they are one of the most famous nomadic peoples in Arrenus.

This half-human, half-horse strange intelligent creature not only possesses powerful strength, but also comes and goes like the wind, has long endurance, coupled with a superb archery skill, it is born to be the best ranger.

An adult centaur warrior is equivalent to a second-level transcendent.

A mercenary regiment composed of one hundred and fifty centaurs is almost an army!

Plus sixty elite iron guards, and other mid-level transcendents, what is the origin of this Emily?

Ren glanced at the elf prince and the half-orc from the corner of his eye. They also looked surprised. Obviously, they didn't know the real details of the Dragonstone Mercenary Group before.

"My lord, as long as you give an order, my people will be in place today."

The corner of Emily's mouth rose, "If you think these people are not enough, give me ten days, and I can gather another three hundred centaur warriors."

Ren's eyelids twitched.

Did she subdue an entire centaur tribe? The character of the centaur is like a wild horse, rebellious, bloodthirsty and brutal, it is difficult to suppress it with violence, how could it submit to a human woman?

"No, these people are enough." Ren rejected Emily's proposal and asked, "Ma'am, how much does it cost to hire you every month?"

Emily shook her head lightly, "I don't want to be paid on a monthly basis."

Ren frowned, feeling that she was about to open the lion's mouth.

Sure enough, Emilys continued: "I want to cooperate with the lord for a long time. All the tasks of guarding the castle, patrolling, and maintaining order in the territory will be undertaken by the Dragonstone Mercenary Group, and they will follow the lord's orders. During this period, the lord will One-fifth of the taxes collected belong to the Dragonstone Mercenary Group."

"impossible."

Ren flatly refused.

Glamorgan's annual tax is about 2 million gold, and according to Emily's request, she will be given 400,000 gold shields every year, which is far beyond the normal commission price.

On average, the monthly commission of the Dragonstone Mercenary Group is more than 30,000 gold shields, which is simply delusional.

If he agreed to Emily's asking price and deducted the money handed over to the duke and the empire, then he would not have much left as a lord.

The territory is full of Emily's subordinates, who is the real lord?

Ren immediately looked at the half-orc tyrant and asked, "Mr. Graham, what are you thinking about?"

Graham knew that Ren was holding him down, but he didn't mind, and replied: "The Lord Lord's employment, 'Blood and Sand' is acceptable. However, my manpower is not as large as that of the Dragonstone Mercenary Group. In the short term We can only call more than a hundred people..."

Before he could finish speaking, Emily suddenly said, "One eighth."

She suddenly reduced the tax and distribution share from one-fifth to one-eighth.

Ren glanced at her, still shaking his head firmly.

"More than a hundred people are almost enough. Within the territory, there shouldn't be large-scale frontal battles with the enemy. I just need you to help me fill in some gaps in the guarding force."

"This time will not be long. Within a year and a half, I will establish my own armed forces."

Ren continued to discuss with Graham and asked, "How much is the commission for Blood and Sand?"

"Twelve thousand gold shields per month." Graham readily quoted.

Ren nodded slightly. This price is similar to what Fabian said before. Although it is still a bit more expensive, it is at least within an acceptable range.

Seeing that he seemed to agree, Emily finally became anxious.

She stood up and hurriedly said: "Master, I only need one-tenth of the tax, and the manpower is twice that of blood and sand. If you are still not satisfied, I will expand the mercenary group to three hundred within a week." People, including me, promise to obey the command of the lord without any hesitation."

"Including you?" Ren was a little moved. There is no doubt about the strength of this lady.

Moreover, there is also a legendary swordsman in the Dragonstone Mercenary Group.

One-tenth of the tax is almost 200,000 gold shields. It should be a good deal to hire two legends and an armed force of 300 people.

"Yes, including me."

Emily nodded solemnly, as if she had thought of something, she blushed, and quickly added: "It is limited to the work content in the employment contract, and private life is excluded."

"Haha, of course." Ren laughed.

All the men in the box had ambiguous looks on their faces, but everyone was just thinking about it, and no one dared to speak out to tease a legendary powerhouse.

Emily's petite body exudes a faint threat, like a dragon's might, which makes people feel chills down the spine and uneasy.

She stared at Ren, "Lord, what do you think?"

Ren was completely immune to her dragon power, his expression remained unchanged, and he was thinking quickly in his heart.

Emily's offer has been reduced to the lowest by herself. If the average commission is calculated based on the number of mercenary groups, it is obviously much lower than Graham's. There are also two legendary powerhouses, which are very affordable.

However, Emilys' background is mysterious, and she seems to be too eager for this task.

Ren suspected that she had other purposes, which might cause him trouble.

He quietly observed Emily's soul again, the color was normal, without the slightest hostility, and he had no malice towards himself.

It should be something else.

Ren pondered for a few seconds, unable to resist the current temptation of interests, so he nodded and said: "Okay, I agree, and we have a happy cooperation."

Emily's dragon prestige suddenly disappeared, a smile bloomed on her delicate face, and her two slender eyebrows seemed to come alive, huddled together, looking very funny, which greatly reduced her appearance.

She stretched out her hand and shook hands with Ren: "My lord, happy cooperation."

Ren felt that her slender and tender hands contained enormous power, like a giant humanoid dragon, and quickly let go after shaking it twice, lest she think she was taking advantage of it.

"Mr. Graham, I'm sorry." He apologized to the orc tyrant.

"It's okay, I think there will be opportunities in the future." Graham was not very disappointed, but secretly relieved.

Although he failed to take over this task, and the business opportunity of hundreds of thousands of gold shields slipped away in front of his eyes, it might be a good thing, and he didn't have to make enemies with the Modu nobles.

The half-orc didn't stay long, and got up to bid farewell to everyone.

The group of slaves outside the box also left with him.

As an intermediary introducer, Torsedrin skillfully helped the employer and the employer draw up the contract. After confirming with Emily, Ren signed his name and attached a trace of soul power.

Putting away the contract, Ren took out a golden ticket worth 500 gold shields and handed it to Torsedrin.

So is Emily.

This is the reward for Torsedrin's intermediary contact.

The wood elf prince accepted a thousand gold shields with a smile on his face. The money was easily earned, which made him feel very comfortable. He was not in a hurry to see off the guests, and chatted with the two big customers in the box.

It was his first contact with Ren, and he hoped to have a good relationship with the lord.

After talking for a while, Tossedlin was surprised to find that this young lord has very profound knowledge, not only covers a wide range, but also is proficient in many languages, and has unique insights on many things, sometimes as simple as one or two A sentence, but rich in profound wisdom, it is endless aftertaste.

This gave him an illusion, as if the person sitting in front of him was not a young man, but a legendary wizard who had experienced hundreds of years.

Not only Torsedrin, Emily also felt this way.

In fact, Ausiliya, who was hidden in the corner, was also listening intently, her eyes full of surprise.

Ren silently pretended to be aggressive, and smiled without saying a word.

Seeing that the time was almost up, he pretended to inadvertently asked: "The gladiator Sicarius in the afternoon has amazing fighting skills. I wonder if I can meet him?"
