Chapter 537 Mercenaries' Resistance

Mohan has two completely different attitudes towards Xu Lai and Jimi.

On the one hand, he really doesn't think much of Jimi. No matter what, this guy is also a treacherous guy. Emotionally, Mohan looks down on him.

And Xu Lai, although he is also a baron appointed by Aini.

But they all know that these heroes who fell from the sky are from outside this world and have nothing to do with Aini.

They have never received any favors from Aini, nor have they enjoyed any good treatment from Aini.

Mohan, who knows a little about the inside story, also knows that Aini dislikes these heroes who fell from the sky.

On the other hand, Jimi is not strong enough. It is not surprising that a mere 6th-level knight does not get his respect.

Xu Lai is different. His reputation is even higher than that of an ordinary duke. It can be seen that he has done a lot.

In the battle on the grassland alone, breaking through the battle line and seizing the flag is something that no one can match.

Not to mention that Xu Lai went deep into the wilderness. It is said that the withdrawal of the orcs in the stronghold is closely related to what Xu Lai did in the wilderness.

No matter what, Mohan is also a part of the grassland, and he has to accept some of Xu Lai's kindness.

The most generous, also because of the special nature of the hero.

Let's not talk about the general heroes who fell from the sky, there are more of them, so it's not surprising.

But Xu Lai is different. He can take down a castle guarded by 100,000 troops with less than a thousand troops without any loss.

This terrifying strength is enough to make Mohan afraid.

Of course, the most critical thing is the angels following behind Xu Lai.

Such a large number of angels, is it something that ordinary people can control?

Mohan's smile today is exactly the same as the day he broke the city.

But Xu Lai has completely different feelings.

"President Mohan, please don't be polite.

I just want to know what's going on!"

Xu Lai pointed to the series of tasks hanging above his head.

Mohan fell into silence immediately. Although only two people came in, Mohan felt that the pressure brought by these two people was countless times more terrifying than Jimmy and his hundreds of knights.

Xu Lai's voice was not loud, but it was loud enough for everyone in the mercenary hall to hear clearly.

Hearing this familiar voice, the teller who handled Xu Lai's business suddenly trembled.

He trembled and asked the person next to him: "Who are the two people who just came in?

Why do I think the president seems to be looking at their faces?"

The person next to him rolled his eyes and said: "Didn't you hear it just now? The president called Mr. Xu Lai.

As far as I know, this name should be from the hero of the advent in the newly occupied city, the hero who became famous in the battle with the orcs in the stronghold..."

"I know who he is, the key is why it is him, and why I bumped into him!"

The teller who answered just now didn't understand what this guy was saying.

But he could clearly feel that after he provided the answer, this guy seemed to have become a balloon that was punctured, and he no longer had any strength in his body.

In fact, Xu Lai didn't care about an ordinary teller. This kind of stuff didn't need him to specifically target.

He didn't even need to speak. Jilong, who had been following Xu Lai all the way, would definitely tell his father about this.

Jimmy might not be able to deal with the leadership of the Mercenary Guild, but Jimmy could easily kill hundreds of these insignificant people.

Silence can't solve the problem after all. Although Xu Lai's tone was calm, it was hard to tell whether he was happy or sad.

But Mohan knew that the more silent he was, the angrier Xu Lai would be.

The Mercenary Guild might be able to bear Xu Lai's anger, but he, Mohan, probably couldn't.

"Sorry, it was my negligence. I forgot to ask them to cancel this task. I immediately asked them to cancel all these tasks."

Jimmy snorted coldly and sneered at Mohan's answer, but fortunately the problem could be solved.

Just when Jimmy was relieved, Xu Lai shook his head and said, "Really? Since it was negligence, someone must be responsible.

I need you to give me the list of all the tasks, from intelligence collection, task release, task introduction and all the mercenaries who accepted the task, to the list of the handling process and the list of the approval leaders.

Note, I need all of them, not one less!"

Mohan bit his lip, with a sad face. He knew that he had to give Xu Lai an explanation, but the cost of such an explanation was too high.

This series of tasks cannot be done by one or two people.

The list of important figures in Xu Lai's camp alone requires the Mercenary Guild to dispatch a large number of intelligence personnel.

In addition, the approval, verification, and issuance of this series of tasks will go through the hands of many people.

The most terrifying thing is the list of task recipients. Once this list is revealed, the reputation of the Mercenary Guild will be completely ruined.

The confidentiality promised by the tellers before is like a joke.

Credibility and the like are secondary. The key is that there are too many mercenaries involved in this list.

With such a high reward, almost no mercenary can resist the temptation and not accept it.

However, accepting this task means that they are hostile to Xu Lai and his people.

Mohan believes that he has obtained such a list, and he will not let anyone on the list go.

There is no need to guess what Xu Lai will do after getting this list.

"Your Excellency Xu Lai, this seems unnecessary.

I know you are very angry, and I promise you on behalf of the Mercenary Guild that I will give you a reasonable and satisfactory explanation.

I will definitely not protect any leadership involved in this task. I will send them all to you and leave them to you to handle. "

If it were just a few low-level employees, Mohan would have been sacrificed directly.

But this time, there are too many low-level employees involved. If they are all sacrificed, the entire mercenary guild will immediately be paralyzed.

Mo Han had no choice but to sacrifice some senior officials this time to eliminate Xu Lai's anger.

Mohan thought he had made a big sacrifice, but Xu Lai didn't buy it at all.

"President Mohan, since you said before that your staff are just doing their normal work, then I will give you a face and not embarrass your staff.

I can ignore the people in the mercenary guild, but please give me the list of people who have accepted this mission.

Please note that I said all, this list must not miss a single name. "

"Your Excellency Xu Lai, please don't embarrass me. I really can't reveal this list to you. This is a rule that all mercenary guilds must abide by."

If in private, Xu Lai asked him for a few names, Mohan would not necessarily not give them.

But in such a public place, Mohan would definitely not give it.

"President Mohan, do you think I am begging you?"

As soon as Xu Lai's words came out, even Jimmy swallowed secretly.

"Your Excellency Xu Lai, what do you mean by this?" Mohan also became nervous.

Xu Lai snorted coldly and said: "I am informing you that before nightfall today, the list must appear on my desk one by one."

Mohan gritted his teeth and asked, "What if I can't do it?"

Looking at Mo Han who was gnashing his teeth, Xu Lai suddenly smiled and said: "Then I will level down your mercenary guild, and let your so-called mercenary guild leave no one alive!

I keep my word. If President Mohan doesn't believe it, he can wait until dark tonight. "

After that, Xu Lai ignored Mohan and said directly to Jimmy: "Are there any other entrances and exits of the Mercenary Guild that were missed?"

Jimmy thought for a while and said: "I have people guarding all exits. Without your order, not even a fly can fly out."

Xu looked at the time and said, "After two hours, if the list I need hasn't appeared yet, do you know what to do?"

Jimmy smiled bitterly and said: "Please show me, Lord."

Xu Lai nodded: "As I just said, everyone in this hall, all registered mercenaries, employees and related personnel of the Mercenary Guild, I don't want them to be able to see the sun tomorrow."

After that, Xu Lai glanced at Jimmy lightly and said, "Don't worry, no one can hurt you as long as I'm here."

Xu Lai's tone was full of strong confidence.

A group of mercenaries without a hero leader is nothing more than a group of higher-level wild monsters, which are at best difficult to deal with and a little difficult to deal with.

"Your Excellency Xu Lai, you are too arrogant!"

No matter how good-tempered Mohan was, Xu Lai would still make him angry to death, not to mention his temper, which was not good at all.

Xu Lai ignored him, but said to him calmly: "You can try it."

The more Xu Lai was so understated, the less Mo Han dared to try easily. After all, if he failed, the price would be beyond his ability to bear.

But Mohan forgot that not everyone in this mercenary hall belonged to him.

There are also many mercenaries here who are checking tasks, completing procedures, or searching for information.

Mercenaries are a group with a fiery personality. The life of licking blood all year round makes them not so afraid of threats.

"Dear me, no matter how crazy you are, no one can hurt you. Have you become gods?

Let me take a heavy armor-piercing arrow! "

I don't know if this shot was a skill or an ordinary armor-piercing arrow, but it flew towards Xu Lai with a roar.

But the moment the arrow flew out, the holy light of prayer landed on everyone.

The ultimate holy prayer instantly shook the spirits of all our own warriors on the field.

"Quick, use dispel!"

Someone shouted, and a few mages in the hall subconsciously released dispersal spells.

Roland, who had been staring at Xu Lai, blocked the arrow with his shield before Xu Lai could react.

This armor-piercing heavy arrow really has an armor-piercing effect. Not only can it break armor, it can even break shields.

The knight's shield made of Roland's fine steel was one centimeter thick. The eighth-level knight's shield mixed with fine gold elements actually broke a hole with just one arrow.

But it stopped there. After the arrow pierced the knight's shield, it had no remaining power and could only hang on the shield, unable to cause any more damage.

However, once the battle begins, it is no longer controllable by one's own will.

Fortunately, Xu Lai's side is full of well-trained knights.

As a soldier, the most important thing is to obey orders and follow instructions.

When Xu Lai was attacked, Jimmy subconsciously mobilized his troops to surround Xu Lai.

"Lord, do you want people from outside to rush in?"

Xu Lai glanced at Jimmy lightly and said, "Just let them stay safe outside. I said, as long as I'm here, these rabble are nothing."

Alchemical bombs, group arrow skills, dizzying charge, invisible assassin.

Almost every mercenary present has one or two unique skills.

But unfortunately, the skills that were always effective before could not even play one-third of the usual effect today.

With Xu Lai's blessing, these knights not only have exaggeratedly amazing defenses, ridiculously improved attacks, but also have high health points that ordinary people can't imagine.

Even if they spent a lot of effort for a long time, with poison, bombs, and armor-piercing, and finally lost some blood, Xu Lai cast a healing spell and immediately raised most of the health points.

In the mercenary hall, the fierce shouting and killing attracted many mercenaries to come over and watch.

But there was a team of knights guarding the entrance and exit outside, and those mercenaries who didn't understand what was going on didn't dare to rush into the serious soldiers.

As Xu Lai said before, the mercenaries fought for a long time, not to mention the knights, even the war horses couldn't be killed.

On the contrary, most of the mercenaries who charged in close combat had already become the dead souls under the swords of the knights.

The knights did not have the skills of long-range attacks, so the archers and mages in the back were helpless for the time being.

But under Xu Lai's instruction, these knights quickly separated and galloped wildly in the hall.

Fortunately, only the mercenaries were confused.

From beginning to end, the knights were extremely calm.

There was no way, the enemy's attack was not painful, and their own commander stood at the front line without moving his feet, and the morale was extremely high.

Besides, as warriors, they only needed to execute the orders of their superiors.

In the collective, there was no need for individual wisdom to exist, and each of them only needed to do their own thing, which was enough.

Without much thinking, they could naturally be calm and composed.

On the other hand, the mercenaries became more and more desperate as the battle went on.

But thanks to the knights' calmness, some mercenaries who did not participate in the melee were able to escape.

Under Xu Lai's control, the knights only counterattacked the mercenaries who took the initiative, regardless of whether they attacked them directly or not.

As the impulsive mercenaries kept dying, the rest of the mercenaries became calmer.

They all retreated to various corners of the hall to avoid getting into trouble, including Mohan who was holding back his men.

About half an hour later, the battle was completely over.

As Xu Lai said before, none of the knights died, not even those who were seriously injured.

However, the mercenaries who were trapped in the jar with all the entrances and exits blocked had died completely, not a single one was left.

The two or three hundred mercenaries, apart from consuming a lot of energy and physical strength of the knights and delaying a little time during the relocation, almost failed to achieve any results.

Xu Lai looked at the time again and said to Mohan with a calm face:

"President Mohan, there is not much time left for you!"

Mohan looked bitter and really didn't know how to answer Xu Lai.

But he was very clear about one thing, resistance must be futile, at least in front of Xu Lai.

Many of the dead mercenaries were famous mercenaries, otherwise they would not have the courage to take action directly.

But the masters among these mercenaries have now all become cold corpses. (End of this chapter)
