Wizard From Afar

"Ha! haha...hahahaha, Lord Duke, you are really interesting, really interesting!"

Reverberating in a deadly atmosphere "Poisonous snake" that awkwardly dry laughter, pretentious expression and rich body language: "I can think of using me as a target to provoke the relationship between the three of us; amazing, amazing!"

"Tree targets, provoking relationships...what are you talking about?" An unfathomable mystery black hair wizard frowned more severely: "Didn't we just contacted once last month? Or The line that Locke’s Thousand Knife Tavern Boss helped us lead."

"You promised so well at the time, why did you suddenly regret it?!"

Almost just Loren said The moment the name "Locke" came out, the expressions of the three people became a little different.

The silver blood, which has always remained unmoved, finally left its sight from Loren’s body and shot it at the face of the poisonous snake like a sharp sword. The original black blade was both shocked and angry. Desperately pressed his clenched fist.

Sure enough...

"Aiya Aiya, the more I talk about it, the more it looks like; it’s funny, it’s so funny!" The poisonous snake who interrupted hastily smiled, but his complexion followed Pale, shrugged his shoulders and stared at Loren:

"Looking at your ridiculous expression, unknowing outsiders might really think that there is some ulterior conspiracy between us; but It's a pity that these are all lies that you made up, and it's okay to be thin, not even the core content!"

"For example...what have we planned?"

black The hair wizard raised his eyebrows and deliberately glanced at Corona and the other two mercenary group leaders next to him: "Really? This kind of occasion... is not suitable, right?"

"no! Suitable, suitable Awesome!" The corner of the poisonous snake's mouth evoked a sneer, and his playful expression clearly showed some dismissive look: "I like to be honest in everything, even if it is a conspiracy, it doesn't matter!"

" Do you really want me to say it?"

"Of course it is true! Really, come on!"

"Well, since you have said so." black hair wizard sighed then said, very embarrassed opened the mouth and said: "When I know that the emperor has appointed me as the commander of Eboden, I know the opportunity is here."

"As you all Know, I once had a bad memory in Eboden; but that opportunity made me know many people, such as an intelligence dealer who was good at cuckolding aristocrats and ran a broken tavern."

"He gave me a wonderful plan, and the best candidate who can execute this plan perfectly-ah, that person is talking about you, the head of the poisonous snake mercenary group."

"Guide Eboden's three mercenary group rebellions, take the opportunity to exploit the nobles and civilians who fled in Eboden, and then slash a layer of skin from the Liberty Council;"

"Then...wait until another After the two fools were fooled, we could throw 20,000 mercenaries at Eboden to death, with Byrne Knight escorting you and me away-I, you, and Locke accounted for 10% of the commission."

"As for Eboden...oh, although it is not very good in front of the Corona Master, except for the wizard and the Corona family here, who cares about the life and death of those civilians... "

"Bang——!"

The moment before the voice fell, the indifferent silver blood had already taken the lead. Hold down poisono Us snake's head was shot directly on the table!

The poisonous snake caught off guard half of his head was stuck on the table, and the red liquid spread around the edge of his head.

"Thank you." The black hair wizard's smile faded, and a faint opened the mouth and said: "I thought I would continue to rip with him, it was a great help."

"No thanks."

Silver coldly said, a pair His eyes were fixed on Loren, and the "Black Blade" next to him was stunned.

"If you want to make a joke, please stop here, Lord Duke; as far as I know, you shouldn't have so much free time."

He pressed the corners of his mouth tightly. , The veins on the right hand holding the poisonous snake's head are clearly visible, so nervous that I dare not relax.

"Yes, but there is still time to clean up you." With a faint smile, the indifferent black hair wizard also stared at him: "Since you came here, there is only one choice, then Just accept my agreement."

"What is your'agreement'?"

"It is very simple, according to the commission stated by at first-and because you do not cooperate Attitude, this money will not be given to you immediately; the down payment is only half, hold Eboden for a month and then get three tenths; the last one-fifth of the balance will be sent to you at the end of the siege."

"This is impossible." Silver Blood categorically rejected: "Twice the commission-now you need us, otherwise our 20,000 mercenaries can defend the city and help Azov in turn. The elves seize the city."

"Don’t tell us anything, Lord Duke, we are just mercenaries; fighting and killing are our profession; as long as we can make money, we don’t care who we kill for, for Who fights."

"Give the money, and we will work for you and the empire to guard the city."

The quiet atmosphere finally has several points of negotiation. .

"Yes, you are right. I need the mercenaries in your hands—of course, I also need the fortresses and city defenses controlled by you." The black hair wizard looked at him blankly. "But, on the other hand, Eboden can’t pay the amount you want."

"The poisonous snake just said this." Silver Blood emphasized: "You can tell us Guarantee and pay the remaining expenses after the war."

"I also said just now that I do not accept blackmail from robbers and blackmailers." The black hair wizard who straightened his waist looked calmly. He and the black blade next to him who were still in shock.

Silver blood coldly snorted: "So...you are not going to continue the negotiation, are you ready to let us hand over the city to the elves?"

"no no no, the negotiation still has to Continue."

The black hair wizard tapped his fingers on the table lightly, and the black hair wizard held his chin, his eyes beating playfully between the three mercenary leaders: "But the object of the negotiation... this is not true. Sure."

Silver Blood frowned slightly, and the poisonous snake's "experience" made him nervous with every movement of the Duke.

"Why... are you going to kill us, Lord Duke?" Black Blade poked his head, staring at Loren with an expression like he was going to eat people: "Come on, do it."

p>

"What are you waiting for?!"

Loren glanced at him in disgust.

"Since you have helped the first time, shouldn't you mind helping the second time?" The black hair wizard and the silver blood stared at each other: "Tell the respected'Black Blade' group Let him quiet down, or I will fulfill his wish."

"What did you say..."

Half the words, the murderous black blade was killed by the blood of silver. Raising his hand to stop it, his face was as ugly as multiple layers of haze.

"Your Excellency, please explain what you said just now." Silver Blood's complexion sank: "The object of negotiation may not necessarily...what does it mean?"

"Literally Meaning."

With two pairs of increasingly cold and ferocious gazes, Loren's expression became more and more indifferent and more casual: "I have two thousand Byrne Knights in my hand, one thousand people. Legion soldiers of the Empire; plus a patrol and city defense army of nearly 10,000."

"Think about it carefully, I don’t actually need your 20,000 mercenaries... I only need 10,000 more. It is enough to hold this city."

At that moment, the expression of Silver Blood froze.

"Yes, if the number of mercenary group hired is reduced from three to two, then the price is much more reasonable...Well, if you cut one third, you should barely be able to get it together." Smiling Loren also deliberately turned his gaze to Corona:

"Your Excellency Corona consul, if you cut one third, can the Liberty Council make up the remaining funds?"

"There is no problem at all." The knowing old man was nodded, with a flash of cunning from the corner of his eyes: "It's better to say that this agreement was delayed until now because of the lack of one third payment."

"If this is the case, then the problem is solved." Loren turned his gaze back to Silver Blood, and solemnly said: "We will choose two hires from the mercenary group of three, and follow your Asked to pay you twice the reward, and it’s the full amount."

"Stop with the remaining one-you can leave or stay in the fortress, but the price of the latter is to become an empire A traitor; I will rob him before the arrival of the Azores."

Silver blood resisted the attack, calmed himself down and not irritated by Loren.

"This is impossible! Eboden will either hire three of us at the same time, or we will not accept the terms of you and the Liberty Council..."

"Is it, but this seems to be just Your idea alone." Loren smiled contemptuously and shook the head: "If you don't accept it, it's light; then I will directly offer the poisonous snake and the head of the'Black Blade' a price acceptable to them and hire them. "

"And it's the full amount, in cash-it also includes but not limited to wartime weapons supplies, logistics supplies; plenty of drinks and at least two hot meals a day."

"And... an extra compensation from the head of the mercenary group; I am not quite clear of Eboden’s market, but... what do you think of the number of 500,000 Silver Coins?"

The moment the voice fell, The "Black Blade" who had just had a fierce face next to him had his expression brightened.

The treatment of mercenary group is only one aspect, and the final "extra compensation" is the hammer.

After all, the commission is to be distributed to everyone in the group. No matter how much money is distributed to everyone, the group leader instinctively can get only a small amount; but "extra compensation "It's different.

This money can be embezzled by the head of the regiment.

The blood of the silver blood with clenched teeth became more and more rapid, and he could no longer maintain his composure; the expression looking towards black hair wizard finally showed a little more of fear.

And Loren is as peaceful as ever.

Bewitching, deceiving, pretending to be foolish, intimidating and lure... From just now until now, the Duke of Byrne has been using various methods to divide the whole of their three people and fight inwardly.

The poisonous snake first, then myself.

This young duke looks like an experienced hunter with negotiation skills. Step by step lures the three of them into a trap!

"Have you figured it out clearly, your two heads?" At the quiet long table, only the black hair wizard's "curiosity" inquiries could be heard: "Will you accept my terms? , The chips in your hands are being reduced by little by little."

The chips? !

The expressions of Black Blade and Silver Blood froze at the same time, and suddenly they thought of something that they didn't want to happen.

"Ah, it seems that you have already guessed it." Loren smiled helplessly, a little "disappointed", like a storyteller who had been announced the end of the story in advance:

"It's now , My adjutant, Lord Eckert of Castle of Fury, is leading the armies of Byrne and Eboden to capture the other two city gates controlled by you. It should have been defeated by now."

"In this way, the imperial reinforcements and supplies can enter Eboden unimpeded; the nearest one, Lotaire's cavalry and light infantry, only takes about a week; five thousand men, a week, I can afford it."

"Well, as for the remaining fortresses..."

After finishing talking, I didn’t look at the two mercenary group lengths who looked ugly to the extreme. The black hair wizard turned his head and rushed. Lu Sien snapped his fingers behind him, and the gray-eyed boy who understood him turned and left.

When he came back again, he brought another complexion pale, shivering guy.

The night watchman is outside Eboden, the famous intelligence dealer plus the green hat messenger, the tavern Boss Locke.

"Under my'remind', this kind old friend chatted with me about your respective deployments, and by the way introduced a few who are willing to'turn the chaos out of the way' and become partners of justice Mercenary."

"I don’t know if there is only a poisonous snake, or if the three of you are in collusion with him; but since Locke can help you, you can also help me, as long as the price is right or, The arrangements are in place." Loren shrugged and opened the mouth and said plainly:

"So it is only a matter of time to take the remaining city fortresses."

Blood pursed his mouth tightly, motionless.

The black blade next to him kept twitching his body, trying to say something but he didn't dare to speak, completely stunned by the situation in front of him.

"So I give you the deadline-I repeat, I can give you everything you want, I can fulfill all your wishes; but it must follow my orders and follow my The method comes." Loren coldly said: "And my method is, of the three of you, only two of you can leave from here."

"Clang!"

When the voice fell, Loren threw a dagger on the table and stuck it next to the poisonous snake's neck.

Mean... it's already obvious, it can't be more obvious.

The two mercenary groups shook their bodies, and their hearts became less determined.

"The last question..." Sit on the calm silver blood lifts the head, staring at Loren: "How do we know that you are telling the truth, not deliberately deceiving us?"

The answer to them was Loren's sneer.

"You don’t need to know, really... because the results are nothing more than two." The black hair wizard's sincere expression: "I lied to you, I didn’t lie to you-but no matter which one, if you don’t accept this Agreement, I will kill you all, sooner or later."

"It’s all up to you to gamble or seize the actual benefits in front of you, anyway, I can wait; so..."

"Choose it."
