Chapter 1328: War Mercenaries
"The Liuguang pure-blood family didn't come looking for trouble, and this matter is over." Green looked at the news on the magic soldier forum, nodded slightly and said, although the recent main theme is the unstable situation on the road, but there are also other For example, a message from the Liu Guang family, although it is not a headline, some people have seen it.
That is about the result of the battle between Oss and Blick of the Liuguan family. Blick was defeated, but in general it is not too shameful. After all, Oss directly killed the existence of the artificial witch, and such an It's normal to lose a battle. It doesn't mean that if you lose once, you will be hung on the pillar of shame. In that case, if there are so many professionals on the road, whoever fails will just commit suicide. What are you talking about? That's normal.
It would be embarrassing to be defeated by the weak. It is not shameful for a weak existence to fight against a stronger existence. This is why many masters always come up with some tests when they are challenged. If you win, you don't show much mastery. After all, they are the weaker side. On the contrary, those who challenge are more "courageous", in order to avoid being rubbed.
Either it is life or death, or it is to pass the test, or it is to see the identity of the challenger!
A professional who can take a lot of photos of life and death, those who pass the test, not to mention their strength, at least have enough willpower. For such a challenger, it is okay to beat them. The possibility of such a person is not high. As for people with status, that's right to save face.
Oss is not some nameless weakling now. Although he is not some strongman who is concerned with many forces, he is a solid casual cultivator. He has a considerable reputation and strength, and he is already a very strong existence in the circle of professionals. Well, if he hadn't found someone to operate him, then his fame would have been even greater.
Therefore, even if the battle between Blick of the Streamer Pureblood family and him is lost, it is not shameful. On the contrary, part of the battle scene at that time was released, showing the strength of Oss and Blick's potential at the same time. , This may affect some of his reputation within the family, but from the outside, as long as no one intentionally provokes and spreads rumors, it seems to be a common thing for many professionals, that is, the identity of the other party's pure-blooded family will be affected. Let people pay more attention, besides? What else is there.
The pure blood family is amazing, isn't it? Okay, it's really great for most professionals, but isn't failure a normal thing? So it's nothing at all!
The turmoil of this matter is basically over. The Liuguang family can release such a post, the meaning is very simple, the challenge has come to an end, and the dispute between the two parties has completely ended. Compared with a 'bachelor' like Oss, the family over there has a big career, so far, that's about it. Of course, if Oss shows the strength to destroy a pure-blooded family alone.
If he didn't post such a post, he would get quite a lot of compensation... It's just that Oss didn't show it, so the temporary situation is like this. For now, it's good to have such a result, and it will appear soon It's war, as an adventurer who doesn't involve many forces, if he can have less trouble during this time period, he will have less trouble.
"It still feels too cheap for them." Garcia said, their family members were all sent to Puli Dungeon. The situation on the mainland is not right, and the special neutral area of Puli Dungeon has become a very popular place. , Many people with status have moved here, not for anything else, it's safe!
And with the magic soldier network of the magic soldier summoning book, many things don't need to be done personally, just like a certain DingTalk, you can directly perform corresponding operations on the magic soldier network, which can't be more convenient, businessman Those who can get rich and go bankrupt during the war years, and lose their lives by the way, once the war breaks out, many rules will not be followed.
Of course, the times have changed now. Merchants can get in touch with the magic soldier network, and the operation process such as supplying or picking up goods can be carried out directly through the network. There is no need to arrange caravans to transport goods, and a group of people can starve to death just because of this. A person who made a living by robbing caravans during the war years.
Random robbery, anyway, they don't use that dangerous way to transport goods, those people can still rob along the wireless network? No chance of crawling along the wire, hacker? The spellcaster who was a hacker trying to hack into the magic soldier's summoning book in the early years has grown grass on his grave for a few years now, and the vigorous growth may be as high as three feet.
Of course, the caravan transportation industry is affected by normal goods, and the magic soldier network will not involve transactions related to living things, so things like slaves or captured monsters must still be carried out in the normal way Transport, but the teams that can transport those that exist are basically good at playing.
"It's better to be less troublesome at this stage. Huh, we have really arrived at a good time to buy a house." Green said, they said before that they bought the house directly, and since there are no loans in other worlds, it is all right to buy it. At that time, they had a lot of money. After all, they spent so much money on equipment, so the houses they bought were basically high-quality, and the area was not small. It was a bit expensive, but now it is completely worth it.
The atmosphere on the mainland is not right. In addition, a large number of rich people have entered Puli Dungeon to wait and see the situation while taking refuge and protecting their assets. The housing prices here are rising day by day. In the past two days, there have been some changes in the real estate wind direction of the Puli people. The normal residences are almost sold. Although there are still some, those Puli people have to think about their own race, so they are not going to sell. Of course, there are not many Puli people now, so although they are not for sale, they can be rented out temporarily.
The Puli underground city is very large, and because of the high housing prices here, although there are many rich people who come here, there will never be a problem of housing shortage... The problem is the plan of the Puli tribe. They obviously If you want to do a longer-term business, the underground world is behind Puli Dungeon, and there are great prospects for development.
Although there are many residences here, they are limited after all. If you choose to rent, you can really enjoy a long life... With the housing prices here, such a change is also related to the fact that there are too many people buying houses here recently. The number exceeded the estimate of the Puli people, so they had to come up with the methods they were going to use in the future.
The price of houses in other worlds is different from that on Earth. Whether it is in the empire or elsewhere, as long as the land or house is approved by the local ruler, the purchased land or house is equivalent to the right to use it permanently. When the local ruler still exists, unless the purchaser sells or donates it, other influences will not exist at all. If the ruler exists for a long time, the use right will exist for a long time.
Of course, it’s a different matter if you have to “donate” the situation such as external invasion, the ruler just admits that the land is yours, and gives the general guarantees of different levels on the mainland, but you can see it or not. It's all up to you. This thing happens even in the city, like Oss. If he doesn't have enough strength, he is threatened or deceived to take away the property. There will be no interference here, as long as it is not an obvious violent conflict.
The level of protection in the city is higher, but if it is outside the city or in the outer areas of the city, the protection power will be much lower, such as the kind of real estate that buys a hill and builds a castle, and the protection brought by the local ruler The power is the lowest, and the length of the whip cannot reach it. Whether such a place has the ability to hold it depends entirely on its own ability. If it holds the local ruler, it will continue to recognize that place as a property owned by people who spend money to buy land.
Of course, there is no such thing as a knighthood, the scope is very small, just a piece of land is your home, so it is called real estate, not a territory, this is a situation, if a strong person finds a place to build As for the house, if the local ruler doesn’t want to mess with it or can’t afford it, they just turn a blind eye and close their eyes. Even if the local ruler is killed by the new ruler, the property will not be affected. Influence.
The premise of all this is that the fist is big enough!
As far as the current Puli Dungeon is concerned, they bought the real estate here. As long as the Puli tribe is not extinct and always holds the dominance of Puli Dungeon, then this place has existed for hundreds of years, and their real estate will be recognized. For a hundred years, it can be passed down from generation to generation, and it will not encounter situations such as recycling due to changes in the ages. Of course, there is another pre-factor for these properties not to be recycled, which is to always have an heir.
If the last heirs are all dead, then this place will become ownerless. Since it is ownerless, it is still on the side of Puli Dungeon, so it will naturally belong to the Puli tribe again.
For now, they have absolute control over their own real estate, and they can ignore the renting policy of the Puli people. They can sell their houses at any time if they want to sell them, and make a lot of money from it, but Right now, everyone is very aware of the importance of this place. It is impossible to sell the house, even if the war is over, it is impossible to sell the house. The problem of the Puli people is doomed that they can only occupy the Puli underground city and build this place into a A special neutral city, with their small population and not enough strong support.
Outward expansion away from Puli Dungeon is purely to deliver food. A developed neutral area is really important, and more importantly, this neutral area is difficult to be invaded by war.
"...Indeed." Oss nodded. There is really nothing to say about buying a house. He originally bought a set and wrote his sister's name on it, but when Green and the others went to buy it, By the way, I bought another set, and the reason was instigated by Green. In the words of this green hair, it is good that Oss thinks about his sister all the time, but he must also plan for himself in the future, even a decent, real sister. There is no residence of her own, can her sister rest assured?
Even after Oss had a wife, it turned out that the ownership of the house belonged to his sister, not him. Even if his wife was a good person, it would affect his mood. It was best to prepare an extra set. Oss heard at the time After reading it, I thought it was too reasonable, and then I bought an extra set.
By the way, they bought a group purchase, so they got discounts that vary according to the number of purchases. Except for Fred, who owns a family land and followed suit, they bought two houses in Puli Dungeon per capita. , Oss' situation is as above, Garcia and Green live in their own and their family's, so there are naturally two sets.
If their group buying was a week late at the time, there would never be such a possibility. It can only be said to be luck that they can step on the spot to settle the residence!
"Hey, Captain, have you considered becoming a war mercenary?"
"War mercenary?" Oss frowned. The identity of an adventurer is very good. Although the boundary between an adventurer and a mercenary has always been ambiguous, a mercenary may be an adventurer, and an adventurer may also be a mercenary. Soldiers, but the two have different emphasis. The former focuses on tasks while taking risks, while the latter is the other way around.
But war mercenaries mean it literally. Mercenaries who specialize in making money from war basically do not accept other additional tasks, they mainly accept war-related commissions, and the pace is quite fast!
Although some time ago, due to the reason of the magic soldier network, the war on the mainland was eliminated for a while, but after adapting to the convenience of the magic soldier network, let alone the big war, the frequency of small wars has risen again, and those who have to be normal mercenaries The war mercenaries returned to their original business. After accepting a war employment here, they took the money and went to the next location to accept another war employment.
Since there are people who are war mercenaries, it means that this kind of employment is more profitable. Otherwise, if they don't use soldiers normally, why should they be war mercenaries? In addition to the corresponding commission, war mercenaries can also participate in the plunder after victory, which also leads to a bad reputation for war mercenaries.
Of course, there are also those with a good reputation, but there are too few of this type. For example, those who help some small countries that have been maliciously invaded, are about to be defeated, and are about to be ravaged, reverse a certain war and make this small country finally turn over. War mercenaries can accumulate quite a good reputation at once. Of course, this can't change the nature of war mercenaries. A good reputation means more hires and more commissions.
Those who enter this industry should not think that others are dedicated to accumulating good deeds. Being a mercenary must be for money and fame!
"A large-scale war has really happened on the mainland, and the days of adventure are not easy. People like us must be paid attention to wherever they go." Green said that wars between empires are not as windy as wars between small countries. Light clouds and light, in the eyes of the empire, the wars of those small countries are like children fighting. To put it bluntly, it is to raise Gu, eliminate the effects of those with insufficient development motivation, and let more energetic superiors.
This also has a great impact on the empire. Small countries with more vitality will be stronger in terms of national power. Being stronger means paying more tribute, rather than those pitiful and pitiful small countries that have lost their 'vitality'. I don’t like paying tribute. If some small countries really show great potential, then the empire will carry out some methods such as marriage to completely pull that small country to the empire’s side, can’t it? If not, I'm sorry.
The empire can tolerate those small countries developing on their own and aggressing each other, but their potential and development are beyond the control of the empire. There are only two results, one surrenders and the other is destroyed. The pattern of the mainland has been fixed. Small countries want to It is almost impossible to rise to the top in a fixed environment, unless the entire continent is in a new war, so that the empire has no time to pay attention to the situation of small countries, so as to give those small countries with special potential and ambitions a chance to step on in adversity. The Old Empire reigns supreme.
This also shows the changing direction of the influence of the three empires. The war between the three empires means that the water in the mainland has been muddied. Pay attention, all kinds of defenses, even if they don't want to contact, they will take the initiative to find them later.
It is inevitable to make choices about some things. Even if they say they are still free people, others may not believe it.
"..." After listening to Green's analysis, Oss breathed a sigh of relief. As the captain, he can make a lot of decisions, but he will not ignore the analysis of his teammates, let alone the oldest Green. Analyzed, after all their identities are really sensitive, especially Os's own identity, has a problem with the Dark Church, and the Dark Church is now allied with the Orb Empire.
When the flames of war ignited, he was either stuck in the Puli Dungeon and couldn't get out, or he had to decide on a new route to adapt to the war environment.
War mercenaries are chaotic. They belong to the type that does things when they are paid. They don't consider issues such as nationality. They live for profit. Some personal ideals may be mixed in, but time is enough for this part Personal ideals will fade. Of course, although war mercenaries are profit-seeking, their integrity must be improved. No one wants to hire a group of 25-year-olds who stab in the back at every turn, so qualified war mercenaries may not He is a good person, but after accepting the entrustment, his integrity must be higher than many people.
Otherwise, it will be impossible to do business once. War mercenaries will be greatly affected after being stained once, not to mention that it is still the era of the magic soldier network. The producers are very strict in controlling rumors. As a result, some of the above special information that can still be released is rarely false.
For those war mercenaries who want to make trouble, the cost of being a 25-year-old boy has skyrocketed, and the unstained ones are normal war mercenaries, and the actions they participate in are the ones that take part of the money first and then go to work, and For those with stains, the probability of getting money first is very low, and the proportion of getting money will be very small, and most of the entrusted tasks will not be normal, and they will be concentrated on the ones who charge forward, and this part of the action is in the second or fifth. When he was young, he would not be backstabbed too hard.
Who let there be stains, people don't believe in such war mercenaries?
That more commission than a normal mercenary is not so easy to earn.
"That's how it is." After thinking a lot, Oss nodded. War mercenaries, at worst, focus on vulnerable groups when they are active outside. The war of the empire will only bring disasters to those small countries, and they can't interfere. Actions between empires, but accepting the entrustment of some small countries can also reduce the number of people involved in the war: "But we have to wait until the war is really inevitable before doing so."
Green nodded and didn't say anything. Oss's background made him very strong now, he is the strongest person in the team, and he still maintains his unchanging conscience, which Green doesn't have Any idea of distorting, as the captain of a team, there is nothing wrong with having a conscience. They don't do anything special. They must implement absolute evil to survive. They are a team and can complement each other.
Oss has a conscience, can listen to opinions, has judgment, and more importantly, strength. Such a captain is actually an ideal captain in many teams.
"By the way, who of you has been in contact with war mercenaries before?" Oss asked. His knowledge of war mercenaries is limited to written ones. They are normal mercenaries, the two sides have no intersection at all, and there is basically no direct understanding.
"I've done it before." Fred said, "But after doing it for a while, I gave up when I didn't think it was suitable."
The uncontrollability of berserkers is not popular among adventurers and mercenaries. If you want to become popular, you have to take the initiative to take the back position... It's just that who has nothing to do is willing to do that kind of death thing, Berserkers are brave and not fools. Similarly, because of their blood, they appear irritable, but being irritable does not mean they like to cause innocent killings and bloodthirsty. It can be seen from the fact that the clans of the Berserkers have never changed. , Fight against monsters and powerful beasts, but never excessively destroy the balance of the living place.
Even with the corresponding special cooperation with Zheng Yichen, there is no improvement in the damage to the balance of the environment. It is still the original standard. There are certain needs. They will only go hunting and spend more time to return. Changing the original intention, madness itself has a great influence on the berserkers, and then they are prone to bloodthirsty, after the madness, do they want to speed up their entry into the soil?
Many war mercenaries don’t talk about nationality, right or wrong, they only charge money. Fred has been involved for a while and it’s not appropriate. Popular, and others that require fighting and brains? Don't take him to play... Although the position of charge is rich, he also knows very well that many of those hired people want him to quickly play his due role in charge, even after rushing into the enemy's camp and becoming mad. die in battle.
That would save a lot of commission. At that time, Fred had no integrity stains. Asking him to send him to the death position meant that he would have to give him more commission. Of course, he would not have to pay him if he died.
