Roy looked up and saw not far ahead. Yueying was riding proudly and confidently on a horse. He waved his hand and called several small leaders of the Green Mountain Mercenary Group beside him. His expression was serious and his mouth and lips were moving rapidly. She kept giving orders, and looking in the direction her white and delicate fingers were pointing, there seemed to be a small town standing over the top of the mountain, with scattered refugees and mercenaries who looked black. The shadows were scurrying around.
"Oh, this placeisn't it Malfoy's cottage?" The old dwarf Barney's voice came from beside him. The old guy came to Roy at some point and joined in the fun: "I didn't expect Fei The Eagle Mercenary Group is really ruthless this time, and it feels a bit like disowning one's relatives. Even the 'Welfare' mercenary group actually wants to kill them all. It seems that things are really in chaos, and the world is going to be in chaos!"
Roy was curious for a while and couldn't help but ask. He had grown up in the aristocratic circle of Lannister in the southern country since he was a child. He used to think that he was well-informed and had a sense of superiority. After leaving my hometown for adventure, I realized that the vastness of this continent was far beyond my expectation. I used to be a bit of a frog in the well, but the truly well-informed travelers - such as the old dwarf Barney - are the ones who really have this gap in their hearts. , everything is hidden in my heart, and there is almost nothing I don¡¯t understand or know about people or things. Everything he talks about is clear and logical, as if he has everything in the universe and the complicated world under his control.
"I also want to be an adventurer who knows everything like this." Such thoughts clearly appeared in Roy's mind. This slightly distracted his attention, so after Master Barney tried his best to explain, he roughly understood the situation and inside story of this "welfare" mercenary group that seemed to have some background.
It turns out that this cottage is a mercenary group in name, but in essence it is a business association that extends in all directions and has a wide range of interests. The founders are a pair of brothers named Malfoy and Marley, who were originally poor small businessmen. However, more than thirty years ago, when the mainland was plunged into a chaotic war, they decisively and without hesitation invested in urgently needed wartime supplies and made a war fortune. Famous and wealthy businessmen and millionaires.
The Malfoy brothers were also originally from the Eldar Alliance. They are typical small alliance businessmen full of commercial awareness. But Malfoy was a very mean and stingy person. This unconcealable stinginess not only did not weaken after he became rich, but also became more and more intense. In order to avoid the miscellaneous taxes that were not increased by the Eldar Alliance, he decisively took his entourage and All assets moved to the nearby deserted land mercenary empire Felenito, and continued doing business in the name of driving a mercenary group.
Although Ferenito is full of small mercenaries or bandit groups with no culture and bad conduct, and the vast territory and sparse population are extremely poor in supplies, but fortunately there are no excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the puppet king who relies on the Flying Eagle Mercenary Group does not There is no real power, so anyone can set up a mercenary group in name without looking at other people's faces - after all, in most countries, the richer Shang Li has to bear the heavier taxes, so here It was a perfect paradise for Malfoy.
But there is also a danger: Malfoy himself is the richest in the world - people often say that maybe this stingy businessman is one of the richest people on the continent. After almost monopolizing the war wealth of the entire continent, he owns countless millions. Qing's wealth, and that wealth is still accumulating at an alarming rate.
Therefore, in a barbaric place like Ferenito, there are naturally many people with crooked minds. Fortunately, Malfoy had already predicted that since the establishment of the Welfare Mercenary Group, he had hardly done anything as a mercenary group. Instead, they hired three major mercenary groups: Flying Eagle, White Deer, and Canglang to protect and conduct all commercial activities.
Due to the special situation of the Viad continent, large-scale merchants almost have to rely on the protection of mercenary groups. Malfoy hired three major mercenary groups, which would cost a lot of money anyway. By the way, he successfully found a mercenary group to protect him. As a protective umbrella for survival, of course no one within Felenito would dare to offend the God of Wealth of the three major mercenary groups.
The base area of ??the Welfare Mercenary Group is well-constructed, and it is not far from the Flying Eagle Mercenary Group. The financial exchanges between the two families are quite close. If it weren't for her father "Rogue" Alba's repeated instructions, Yueying didn't want to take this long detour to observe Malfoy's safety - after all, in her subconscious, unless she was crazy, the Flying Eagle Mercenary Group would still not be in chaos. After all, this kind of killing the goose to obtain the eggs is not very rational. It is obviously impossible for all of Malfoy's real wealth to be gathered here, and cutting off this huge financial source will cause Flying Eagle no matter whether it is a financial or reputational loss. It cannot be measured.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The old man is the better, his father Alba actually predicted that the Eagle would attack Malfoy. This has become a fact, but Yueying still doesn't know it clearly until now.Why is the eagle's overnight lightning strike so urgent and unusual?
Seeing the fierce fighting ahead, the Green Mountain Mercenary Group immediately accelerated their advance and quickly entered the base of the Welfare Mercenary Group. Looking around, they saw that the base was built like a gorgeous small town, with streets extending in all directions and the ground It is clean and flat, the buildings are tall and neat, and there is an extraordinary sense of luxury in the simplicity. Even a young master like Roy, who comes from a noble family, has to secretly nod and admit: this is the top Earl's Mansion in Ferenito. , I am afraid it is difficult to find such an outstanding building complex.
It's just that the streets that should have been bustling and bustling are now a bit eerie. There are broken limbs and broken arms of mercenaries everywhere. Some of them are not dead, and they are still lying on the ground groaning in pain. If it were dark at this moment, Eyes, it's really like Shura Hell.
Roy observed carefully that many of the corpses lying around were wearing the traditional pale yellow armor of the Flying Eagle mercenary group. Could it be that this "welfare" mercenary group has outstanding combat effectiveness and can even make the Flying Eagle pay the price? Such a huge price?
He couldn't help but ask, but it was Master Barney's explanation that made him realize: It turns out that Malfoy is very wealthy. Although he is a bit stingy, the more wealth a person has, the more nervous he will be about his own comfort and property. , so Malfoy has always spent a lot of money on the defense measures of the Welfare Base. Not only has he put a lot of effort into the construction of city defense, but he has also hired many small groups of servants and adventurers with certain strength and real skills to guard it.
Raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a while, others often laughed at him for being too cautious. Today, some of Malfoy's original worries were finally fulfilled - no matter how big his backing was, it might collapse in an instant. The three major mercenary groups Zhong Feiying is the most powerful, and it is the easiest and most straightforward to turn against him. The White Deer and Canglang mercenary groups are far away at the moment. Even if they send someone to notify them immediately, it will probably take ten and a half months to bring in reinforcements. At that time, they can It's too late to regret anything.
Roy's curiosity became more and more intense and he was eager to see the excitement. He quickened his pace and in just a moment, with his outstanding foot strength, he left behind the large force of the Green Mountain Mercenary Group led by Yue Ying. The Silver Fox and Hyena leaders who had been trying to flatter him had long been left behind. Only Die Wu and the dwarf Barney could barely keep up. Even the night elves who were known for their agility were secretly surprised - Luo When did Yi possess such an astonishing speed of movement? His face was neither red nor out of breath, and he didn't seem to have even used his fighting spirit, but he was walking like flying. He had to apply a small acceleration technique of "quick steps" on himself to barely be able to keep up with seemingly ease.
Turning two corners, the tallest building in the entire base area immediately appeared in front of the three of them - it was a small palace similar to a gable, which seemed to have a western style. The central building was taller than the golden-rimmed palace. The dome has a conical spire that spirals upward at the top of the arc.
No need to think about this tower-like building, it is naturally the residence of the wealthy businessman Malfoy. In front of the gorgeous building is a large courtyard. The courtyard wall must have been neat and strong before, but now it has been beaten to pieces by many flying eagle mercenary groups, and there are ruins everywhere.
The Flying Eagle Mercenary Group surrounded the courtyard aggressively, shouting and shouting, but they all looked a little disgraced, as if they had been besieging them for a long time.
After careful observation, Roy found that these Flying Eagle mercenaries were vaguely gathered into three camps, which seemed to be three different detachments. It seemed that Malfoy's defense power was indeed extraordinary. mercenaries such as Silver Fox and Hyena were One detachment of the corps can more than capture and destroy it, but here three teams are required to besiege it at the same time.
In fact, there were some deviations from what Roy thought. Originally, the team responsible for capturing the Welfare Mercenary Group was only a Flying Eagle detachment, but unfortunately, this bone was too difficult to crack. In order to protect his property, Malfoy decided to attack the Welfare Mercenary Group. His own mercenaries promised great wealth, and the reward would be a brave man. The mercenaries and adventurers, who were already very capable, tried their best and actually once occupied the territory in the battle with the Flying Eagle Squadron. Upside.
However, the huge gap in numbers and power slowly emerged. The captain of the Flying Eagle detachment promptly sent out a distress signal to the surroundings. Then other Flying Eagle detachments that had just completed the annihilation of the small mercenary group, who they thought were small mercenary groups, immediately came one after another after hearing the news. As the two With the addition of the nearest detachment, the advantage in the battle naturally returned to the side of the Flying Eagle Mercenary Group.
The mercenaries and adventurers supported by Malfoy resisted tenaciously, but were eventually defeated by the disparity in numbers and strength. The constant war of attrition made them unsustainable and suffered heavy casualties. They slowly shrank to the final hinterland - Malfoy's Before the luxurious mansion.
