    After all, Lydia still couldn't act arbitrarily. Erwin and Susan's proposals made her feel conflicted, but at the same time, she also felt a little moved in her heart.  Therefore, more than twenty mercenaries from the Thorn Flower filed into the tavern and started discussing, while Erwin and Susan left outside.  The snow-covered snow turned this small town in the hinterland of Turbo into pure white, shining dazzlingly in the sun. Pedestrians passing by looked at the young couple standing at the door of the tavern with strange eyes.  men and women.  Listening to the ups and downs but vague sounds coming from the tavern from time to time, Susan's thin eyebrows moved slightly in the middle, and she raised her eyes and stared at Erwin: "Are you really planning to cooperate with them? What if we go find it ourselves?  Rex might be a lot more convenient." Erwin looked back, then nodded and acknowledged Susan's statement: "Yes, if there were only two of us, it would be really easy to find Rex.  But that won't solve any problem. " Susan tilted her head slightly, and the ponytail on her shoulders slid down as she moved. Her amber eyes were vivid in the warm but not dazzling morning sun.  She looked at him doubtfully, "We can find Rex ourselves, or we can investigate whether he is a murderer, but if we do that, no one will believe what we say." Erwin explained to Susan, "  If we cooperate with this group of mercenaries, no matter what they find out, at least they are personally involved in it. We don¡¯t need to work hard to confirm it. They will believe it themselves. " "Then do you think the judgment of this group of people is wrong?  Is Rex a murderer? " Susan looked at Erwin seriously, she wanted to know his true thoughts.  Erwin opened his mouth. He thought a lot. If what happened last night hadn't happened, and if there hadn't been this group of mercenaries blocking the door this morning, Erwin could certainly have patted his chest and said how could Rex be a murderer.  mad.  But now he can't be sure of this. Although the possibility is low, it is not impossible.  "I think there must be some misunderstanding." Erwin could only answer Susan with such a vague answer.  Susan was a little dissatisfied and opened her mouth to say something else.  Erwin knew what she was going to ask, so he quickly reached out and pinched her delicate and smooth cheek: "Don't ask, I don't know what to do. We'll see what happens later." Susan was stunned for a moment.  , as if she didn¡¯t expect that Erwin would make such an intimate move towards her in public, and then he shrank back like a frightened little animal, his cheeks immediately getting hot.  Seeing that he was still smiling triumphantly, he immediately gritted his teeth, raised his foot and kicked his calf hard.  But after such a fuss, Susan couldn¡¯t ask the question ¡°What would you do if so?¡± in her heart.  After a while, the mercenaries of Thorn Flower finally reached an agreement, and Lidia took the lead and came out to Erwin and Susan.  "I accept your proposal." This was a unanimous decision among the Thorn Flowers. Although they did not really trust the two young men and the woman, but in this desperate situation, there were two familiar murderers.  Better than no help.  "Shenhuo Mercenary Group? Strange name." Lidia was full of curiosity now, not only because of this strange name, but also the origins of the two young people in front of her.  Although there are many people who create mercenary groups, and many people who have just become mercenaries are eager to give it a try, it is very rare for two people to dare to create a mercenary group. In the past, she would definitely have despised and ridiculed her, but among them  One of the two people is a powerful person, and the other's strength is unknown, which makes people laugh. "Do you need to discuss the details of employment?" she asked, "We are also a mercenary group, although we are very considerate of the early days of the establishment.  "It's hard work, but it's impossible to pay too high a price." "Just postpone these small things. Aren't you very pressed for time?" Erwin waved his hand and said, anyway, the so-called employment is just an excuse for him to intervene.  That's all, but Susan on the side was very concerned about it. She didn't want to be so confused about the mercenary group's first business.  A flash of realization flashed in Lidia's eyes, who was observing the expressions of the two people. Although she could not see any trace of her emotional loss just now, her face was still tense.  "In order to ensure your sincerity, how about you first tell me about the person you know?" "There is nothing to say. A person who is not much worse than me in strength, has a careful mind and a clear mind. If you regard him as your enemy,  If so, then they are far from his match" Erwin mercilessly belittled the Thorn Flower Mercenary Group. When he saw Lidia's face getting more and more ugly, he smiled softly and asked:"If I guess correctly, you should be more than just a mercenary group chasing the murderer, right?" Lidia snorted, and then nodded reluctantly.  The murderer made a big fuss in the hinterland of Turbo. Many mercenary groups had already targeted him, and the two nobles with knighthoods who were killed triggered a riot.  The nobles who own territories in the Turbo hinterland have united several people. In addition to sending private soldiers from each territory to hunt down the murderer, they also raised funds and posted a reward announcement.  The reward of up to 500 gold sid is like the fragrant meat, attracting a group of hungry people.  However, because of the murderous maniac's extremely powerful combat power, many mercenary groups were destroyed under his command. Therefore, this group of mercenaries who usually fought independently gathered together at this moment and ambush the murderous maniac in a small city.  The final result was naturally that the murderer broke through with minor injuries, and the fastest thorn flower on the mercenary side caught up with him.  It¡¯s not that Lidia is self-aware. She knows very well that it is impossible to defeat a murderous maniac alone with her own mercenary group. Her purpose is only to stop the target, and the worst is to bite him behind her.  Follow him and wait for backup to arrive.  I just didn't expect that many mercenary groups had been frightened by the murderous maniac and did not dare to continue to participate, and the remaining backup was slow to catch up. After chasing for seven or eight days, Lidia almost followed the target.  Lost.  "Is there really no way for you to find his whereabouts?" Lydia stared at Erwin unwillingly. The Thorn Flowers lost many people in the ambush of the murderer, and spent so much effort chasing him. In the end,  But it is still inevitable that all previous efforts will be wasted.  Erwin shook his head: "You'd better think about what to do next. I think your entire mercenary group is exhausted and there will be no results if you continue to pursue it. It's better to wait for backup to arrive and then discuss the follow-up with them.  Action. "Although Lidia was unwilling to give up, she lost the trace of the murderer. There were not enough people and they could no longer pursue her. They could only wait for the arrival of other mercenary groups.  "That's my plan too, so I can only find a place to wait for them to come." "Didn't you agree on where to gather at the beginning?" Lidia did not answer Erwin's words, but thought about it for a moment, herself  Choose a place in your memory, and then order a few mercenaries to notify other mercenary groups that are far behind, as well as other mercenaries separated by their thorn flowers.  Erwin and Susan looked at each other and did not interfere with Lidia's arrangement. Since they chose to cooperate with this mercenary group, they had no choice but to act together. The place Lidia chose was a place called Red Pine Castle.  A small town located not far south of Massawa.  The group of people left Massawa quickly. Everyone in the Thorn Flower Mercenary Group actually had a horse. No wonder they were asked to chase the murderer. It would have been impossible for others to chase him with two legs.  The speed of the blood-striped war horse.  Lidia did not continue to be sullen along the way. There were also a few well-spoken people in her mercenary group who frequently chatted with Erwin and Susan, secretly trying to find out their origins.  Erwin didn't hide anything. There was nothing to hide. Regardless of whether it was true or false, the few of them had a good time chatting. By the time they arrived at Red Pine Castle, both sides had a long-term understanding of each other.  learn.  Thorn Flower is a well-known mercenary group in the hinterland of Turbo. It has a lot of people, more than eighty people, and the general strength of the members is good. Therefore, even if Lidia's strength is not very strong, but in the  There is still a place in the mercenary group in Turbo's hinterland.  Moreover, the Thorn Flower has a lot of relationships with a large Malaysian businessman. They have cooperated many times, and they are able to equip each Thorn Flower mercenary with a horse. Only then can they have the strength to chase down the murderer. If they are replaced by other mercenary groups,  It's unimaginable.  Erwin didn¡¯t expect that a seemingly reckless woman like Lidia could pull such a mercenary group out of nothing. He looked at her a few times on the road, but was glared back at her several times.  Although Red Pine Fort is a small town, its scale is many times larger than Massawa, and it is also much more prosperous. The towering city walls look at least the same as a city, and the prosperity of business is far greater than that of these towns.  You can tell just by looking at the caravans coming and going from the city gate.  The arrival of the Thorn Flower mercenary group caused some tension among the defenders, but after asking for details, they breathed a sigh of relief and let them enter the Red Pine Castle. Apparently they had heard of the reputation of the Thorn Flower.  After entering Red Pine Castle, Lidia found a middle-aged man who looked like a businessman. However, this middle-aged man's attitude towards Lidia was a bit strange.  As we all know, mercenaries are following businessmen?When dealing with each other, there will always be someone who is shorter in terms of aura or status, but this middle-aged man appeared to be respectful in front of Lidia. After listening to her instructions for a few words, he soon found a large courtyard for everyone to use as a place to stay.  .  Erwin and Susan had been watching silently. Only then did they realize that Lidia's identity might be more than just the leader of a mercenary group.  ¡°After all, although this woman looks charming, with outstanding looks and a hot figure, it is just her appearance. Judging from today¡¯s contact, she does not seem to be a woman with extraordinary wisdom or strategy.  " And such a woman can actually create such a mercenary group with good reputation and strength. In addition to luck, the only reason is that her identity and background are not simple.  But these have nothing to do with Erwin and Susan. The two left all the arrangements to the mercenaries, and then ran to visit Red Pine Castle. The rest of the time was just waiting for the arrival of other mercenaries.  No one was left waiting long. The day after Thorn Flower arrived at Red Pine Castle, another mercenary group also arrived.  This is a mercenary group called Fierce Wolf. There are quite a few people in their sixties, but their overall strength seems to be very average. Most of them are ordinary soldiers.  Their leader Neil is a slightly pudgy middle-aged man with a round face and a red nose. He looks funny, but his strength is inversely proportional to his appearance. At least he is better than Lidia.  , possessing combat power beyond that of ordinary elite warriors.  The large courtyard that Lidia found can accommodate many people. It is more than enough for the more than twenty mercenaries of Thorn Flower to live with Erwin and Susan, but the mercenaries of the Fierce Wolf Mercenary Group are not so good.  After receiving good treatment, Neil came to make friends with Lidia and planned to let the Thorns and Flowers provide some places for them to live. However, he was severely rejected and could only live in a cheap small hotel on the roadside.  Neil shamelessly abandoned one of his men and moved into the courtyard.  It was obvious that this guy had impure thoughts towards Lidia, the royal sister. He kept pestering her on the first day he came here, and after hearing about Erwin, he even planned to make some moves with him.  But Erwin refused with a smile.  The remaining mercenary groups quickly arrived at Red Pine Castle. After excluding those who were afraid of being beaten and quit, there were still seven mercenary groups including Thorn Flower.  The reason why these seven mercenary groups have to deal with the murderous maniacs is mostly because of the bounties posted by those nobles. Five hundred Jinxide is not a small amount of money. Even if it needs to be divided among the seven mercenary groups, at least  It also far exceeds the commission remuneration normally accepted.  In addition to the mercenary groups offering bounties, there are also mercenaries who come for fame, or who truly intend to eliminate harm for the people - such as the Thorn Flower mercenary group led by Lidia. Their wealth itself has exceeded  For ordinary businessmen, this can be seen from the outstanding strength of this mercenary group and the sophisticated equipment that surpasses other mercenary groups. Seven hundred gold sid is probably not enough for Thorn Flower, who has a horse for each member.  Look down on it.  ¡°Then the Thorn Flower Mercenary Group plans to kill the murderer, probably just for the sake of fame.  Erwin had a chat with one of their members, and it was said that Lydia simply couldn¡¯t stand the rampage of the murderer. Looking at her appearance of not having any city, this was quite possible.  After the seven mercenary groups arrived at Red Pine Fort one after another, hundreds of mercenaries almost caused a misunderstanding among the Red Pine Fort militia group. If these seven mercenary groups had not all had a certain reputation, I am afraid they would have been destroyed long ago.  Kicked out.  However, after the seven mercenary groups arrived, they did not immediately discuss the follow-up actions. Erwin asked Lidia, and it seemed that she was still waiting for an important person to arrive. However, while waiting, Erwin also knew about these seven mercenary groups.  The leader of the mercenary group had actually met once without telling him, but looking at their carefully concealed expressions and sending people to monitor him and Susan, Erwin found it quite funny.  After this group of people heard about what happened to the Thorn Flower Mercenary Group, they originally planned to capture Erwin and Susan directly, and planned to use torture methods to ask for information about the murderer, but they were all dissuaded by Lydia.  After coming down, and knowing that Erwin was a strong man who had entered the gate of rank, the voices that wanted to do something to the two of them also disappeared.  If we really talk about it, Erwin really can't defeat these seven mercenary groups. After all, there are too many people.  But if he and Susan want to leave here, these people will never be able to stop them. This is why Erwin dares to follow them. He will only consider other things when his own safety is guaranteed.  And soon, the important person these people were waiting for also arrived at Red Pine Fort.  Erwin thought he was some important person, but he didn¡¯t expect that he was just a group of noble private soldiers numbering around thirty, and the leaders of the seven mercenary groups were waiting for him.?? is the captain of this group of private soldiers, a young non-commissioned officer named Blair.  Blair was tall and arrogant, and the leaders of the seven mercenary regiments actually had to go to the gate of Red Pine Castle to greet him. He was so imposing and arrogant that if they didn't know his identity, they would have thought he was someone else.  A nobleman with a knighthood arrives.  Erwin found an opportunity to ask, and found out that the noncommissioned officer named Blair was not a simple private soldier captain. It was said that his immediate boss was a middle-level noble who owned the territory, and was also one of the nobles who initiated this bounty murder spree, and  Blair's father is the great steward of the nobles, and his elder brother serves as the captain of the Centurion in the garrison in the hinterland of Turbo.  Looking at it this way, Blair's status is not much lower than that of some minor nobles. It is no wonder that the leaders of these mercenary groups are so groveling. After all, nobles are the high-end class of the pyramid in the world of Elend, and although mercenaries are  He is a martial arts profession, but his status is at most higher than that of civilians, not even comparable to soldiers.  Not to mention that the 500 gold sid rewarded by the nobles is said to be in the hands of Sergeant Blair. Such a noble sponsor is naturally an important figure for these mercenary groups.  After waiting for the arrival of Blair's group of private soldiers, this time the forces targeting the murderer in Turbo's hinterland were gathered together.  There are a total of 355 mercenaries. Although their discipline is not good, their combat effectiveness is at least comparable to that of ordinary soldiers.  Each of the seven regiment leaders has the strength of an elite soldier or above, plus Blair and more than thirty private soldiers.  Such a force is enough to capture a small town like Red Pine Fort.
