hero destiny

Angela, who just came out of the Adventurer's Guild, had a bad complexion.

It is already the seventh day after Redding led a team of 300 people out of the city to explore the details of the beast horde near Thunder Port, but the acquisition he explained before he left was far behind——Adventurer's Guild The task was simply ignored.

This is because most of the quest rewards from the Adventurer's Union were collected by the Noble Council of Thunder Port, in the name of collecting taxes and fees to organize the army to exterminate them because of the raging monsters, but the mercenaries who really wanted to do the quest couldn't get it to enough rewards.

Angela is very clear about the situation in Thunder Port, there is no such thing as organizing an army!Those nobles just used the method of collecting taxes and fees to make up for the loss of their property outside the city during the beast tide.

No, we can't go on like this!

Angela made a decision, she must avoid the noble council in Port of Thunder and issue the mission directly.Although doing so would be suspected of tax evasion and undermine the knight's creed of honesty and justice, but for the future of Thunder Port, she would not hesitate.

Most of the mercenaries gathered in Thunder Port now refuse to hunt monsters anymore, because the rewards of the missions are not enough to make ends meet, so they accept other types of tasks, such as escorting, delivering letters, etc. Angela knew that those mercenaries actually couldn't find suitable jobs.

There are not many ships coming and going in the port of Thunder Port, but generally large ships come to trade - the area here is too remote, and the high-level monsters in the endless sea and the violent weather make it extremely difficult for small ships to sail safely.

The mercenary groups needed for shipping on the sea are all large organizations. They are usually large mercenary groups that come with the ship. Now that the tide is happening, although the land route of Port of Thunder has not yet been officially announced that it is blocked by monsters, combined with the existing information and the real situation of the Port of Thunder's transportation, it shows that all roads are impassable .

In the process of recruiting private soldiers recently, many scattered mercenaries came to inquire about the situation, but these people who are used to being free mercenaries absolutely cannot stand the strict rules set by Redding!

Even if they are recruited now, it will be the source of troubles in the future. Drinking and making troubles... These actions are just the adjustments for the lives of free mercenaries who are wandering between life and death on weekdays.

Young people who have just entered the industry may still get rid of these problems, but for veterans who have been mercenaries for many years, it is more suitable for them to live in the living environment they are used to.

Before Angela, she didn't recruit any veterans with more than three years of mercenary career.But these people are the backbone of hunting monsters in the wild. They have rich experience and relatively strong strength. They are also familiar with the herbs, plants, fruits, minerals, etc. in the wild. They are the best source of materials that Lord Redding needs. .

Form a mercenary regiment!This is the best way Angela can think of.

In this way, on the one hand, the increasingly chaotic situation in Port of Thunder can be contained—those loose mercenaries stopped taking up tasks because they resisted the taxation of the noble council, and they lost their source of livelihood, and they were brewing strong resentment; On the one hand, the purchase of items that Mr. Redding explained can be done by these veterans. It can also effectively avoid the taxation of the Adventurer's Union and the Noble Council, so that the commission will really fall into the hands of these poor mercenaries and solve their livelihoods. question.

Angela made a decision, and she would resolutely carry it out, but she didn't inform Lading about this matter. As a follower, she went beyond her status to handle such a major matter without authorization.Although Angela, who has a tough personality, knows that such behavior is inappropriate, she will not hesitate because of these details.In her eyes, there are only the safety of Port Thunder and the wishes of Ledding, and Angela will never think too much about other things.

Turning around, Angela walked towards the bustling mercenary guild that was usually bustling but now empty.Soon, Angela, who was familiar with the place, registered a mercenary group in her own name in the mercenary guild.She will use this as a basis to recruit those mercenaries who do not meet the requirements of Redding, but have the strength and experience, and then issue tasks internally to complete the task of collecting raw materials assigned by Lord Redding.

In the Pig and Whistle Tavern, the usual lively and noisy has disappeared, replaced by a dull and bleak, many mercenaries did not speak, just sat there silently.Their leader, Reid, was sitting on a chair in the tavern, with a glass of low-quality ale mixed with water in front of him. Judging by the color, it might be more appropriate to call it water mixed with wine.

Reid was frowning, his friend Seth was sitting opposite him, the arms supporting his body on the table were trembling, and his pale face and weak expression showed that he was not in good condition.

In fact, Seth is not far from death at this time, he has serious internal injuries, and the voice of summoning from the death messenger of the black dragon of darkness lingers in his heart, if not for the help of Red a few days ago, With enough money for primary healing potions, he can't survive today, but the potions bought with blood and sweat can't completely heal his injuries, and now the worsening injuries in his body are still eroding him, and may take his life at any time .

"Red, it seems that it is not enough. Those nobles simply ignored our actions. You can go to the gathering place of the nobles in the Nigan district in the north of the city. They are still living a life of drunkenness and singing every night. Yes. We don't care about the occurrence of the beast tide at all. And we can't stand it now. You see, even in the cheap and affordable pigs and whistles, we spend all our wealth, and we can only get the most inferior things. If we don’t find a few tasks to do tomorrow, then we will face the threat of hunger.” A big mercenary broke the silence.

"That's right, Red, we have to do something! Either accept those missions that can't make ends meet, or get out of this ghost place!" A voice echoed immediately.

"To do the task of imposing taxes and fees on those nobles? I would rather let those guys try my battle axe! Only powerful people can become nobles. You see, those wastes in Port Thunder who only know how to eat and wait to die are qualified to say that they Is it a nobleman!" A guy who was very emotional even pulled out the giant ax that he carried with him.

"Logan, don't be impulsive, put down the axe." Reid stopped Logan's move, fearing that he would lose control for a while, and really ran to the noble area to fight them desperately.

"It's not easy to leave! I've heard that there haven't been large trade ships in Thunder Port for a long time. Except for the large ships of the nobles, other small ships in the port can't sail far at all. The terrifying winds and waves of the endless sea Didn’t you hear the legend? Now that the beast horde has blocked all land routes, we can say that we have nowhere to go.” A well-informed mercenary analyzed.

"That is to say, we can only accept those missions whose commission is so low that it can be said that we will die?"

"If you don't accept the mission, you are waiting for death. If you accept the mission, you are seeking death. Anyway, you are going to die, but sooner or later..."

"If you're lucky enough, you might be able to come back alive and earn enough expenses..."

"Luck? Can luck always favor you?..."

…………

Following the words of the mercenary who analyzed the way out, the pigs and whistles immediately sounded noisy discussions, everyone was arguing about the future direction of life, Red's frowning brows did not ease at all, and he also understood the current situation.

It has been half a month since the mercenaries were organized to go on strike. Red and his mercenaries are not rich people, otherwise they would not choose this life-threatening industry. Half a month is their limit. If there is no income, life will become a big problem. Although going out of the city to hunt monsters can fill your stomach, the risks and rewards are completely out of proportion. Moreover, the merchants in Leiming Port, like the nobles, mostly reduce the purchase of monster corpses. The price of , fur, and magic core made them even worse.

"To accept the task is to die, but there is still hope. If you don't accept the task, you will die. There is no hope. There is actually only one way for us." Seth supported the table and stood upright with his neck, speaking slowly and weakly. , it seemed that he had exhausted all his strength to force himself to speak.

Red didn't know this truth, but he was the one who made up the whole story of the strike. What made him embarrassed was that he expected the beginning, but didn't expect the end.Now Red has no way to give an explanation to the mercenaries in front of him, he can only let them go back to the old way.

Most of the members of the noble council in Port of Thunder are honorary nobles without fiefdoms and descendants of nobles from big families in Wangcheng. Although they have no fiefs and cannot command the surrounding lords, Port of Thunder The big cities in the region are under their collective jurisdiction, and only a few seats belong to the nobles outside the city. Most of the members of the noble council can bear the loss of the beast tide.

From the point of view of interests, the beast tide outside the city has nothing to do with the noble council in the city. Behind the tall and majestic city walls, they thought their safety was guaranteed, so of course they didn't care about the actions of these mercenaries, and used them recklessly. With the right in hand, before the arrival of the new governor appointed by the king, hurry up and get a lot of gold coins.

The amount of gold coins is directly related to the promotion of these nobles and the time limit for them to leave this remote area, so these guys who have no control will do this.In their view, the practice of raising taxes privately and accumulating money quickly is only a choice of interests. The temporary advantages of the Duke Party must be used. What will be sacrificed in this way is only the interests of poor mercenaries and low-level civilians. In addition to the public dissatisfaction caused by this and the discrediting of the Royal Party, all this will not cause any loss to their Duke Party.

Of course, Reid would not choose the extreme method of killing nobles. In this world, nobles represent strength, and it is absolutely impossible to succeed by going against the trend. However, he is helpless in the current predicament and accepts those harsh tasks. , is just delaying the time of death. In this place where civilization is low and barbarism prevails, all he can do is compromise. Although he is reluctant, he can only announce that this incident ended in failure, and future tasks can only continue. Accepted, the industry that chooses mercenaries can only abide by the rules.

Most of the unwilling mercenaries are complaining, but life is like this, sometimes necessary compromise is also a way to solve conflicts, maybe there are other opportunities that will appear in the near future.

"Mother of the Dragon God, the embodiment of order and creation—Master Elsa, please send down holy angels to guide us lost lambs!" A mercenary who believes in the Mother of Dragon God cannot accept such a As a result, he prayed aloud in grief and solemnity.

At this time, the door of the Pig and Whistle Tavern was opened, and a red-haired Angela appeared in front of the door. Under the dazzling sunlight, she looked like a holy angel.
