Chapter 570 – Mercenaries Returning to Horn Bay

Chapter 570 – Mercenaries Returning to Horned Bay

At the end of the year 1995 of the Holy Calendar, two pieces of news were spreading frantically around the Horned Bay, especially in the countries along the coast.

The first news was that the Duchy of Eton itself had independently blocked the Protectorate’s attack from the north, and had also pushed back beyond its own borders, and this was achieved even before the main force of the Etonian army had returned home.

The second news was that the Horns Bay allied army on the eastern front had finally conquered the Sigitas fortress in front of them, and was advancing deeper into the enemy’s territory. The gossip was that the allied army had paid huge casualties in this battle, but the Nisborough side firmly denied it, and there were only less than 1,000 casualties in the public news.

After a series of twists and turns, Friedrich List finally crushed his way back to Nisborg, the capital of the Horned Bay alliance, as the capital of the first major country in the Horned Bay, this is still relatively the safest place, and Nisborg is a port city, in case there is any situation, it is also a little more convenient to run away from the sea.

Because of the distance from the front line, send off the soldiers after the Nisborough is still a scene of song and dance, for those who do not personally participate in the war, the news coming back from the front instead of adding a lot of talk to them. On the other hand, before the church’s years-long witch hunt movement on people’s speech and life is a huge suppression, since the Horned Cove Alliance as the leader of the coastal countries and the church turned their backs, the previous hoop on the head of the people of all kinds of constraints in the overnight disappeared, everyone is happy to get into the tavern to eat and drink, without any inhibitions of bragging and farting, so this period of time Nisborough’s large and small streets but rather a lot of prosperity.

At this moment, Lister was staying in a tavern in the harbor area, and he was sitting beside three men dressed as warriors.

“Then, thanks to the three of you for escorting us all the way, let’s part ways after this drink.”

Lister raised his wine cup and said to the three men dressed as warriors.

“No need to be polite, Mr. Liszt, how can we say that we have to be worthy of the commission you gave us, we are putting integrity.”

Raja with a long beard said, he and the other two men also raised their wine cups and clinked them with Lister, and the four of them drank the wine inside in one go.

Lister asked curiously, “So what are the future plans of the three of you?”

Raja glanced at his two companions and replied, “For the time being, the three of us intend to go as mercenaries ……”

Before his words left his mouth, a man at the table next to him suddenly stood up and shouted towards them, “Mercenaries? Are you guys going to become mercenaries?”

The man leaned over, and Lister could see his face, it was a middle-aged man with a slightly chubby build, his round face was wearing a pair of gold round glasses, and he was wearing well-made silk robes, he seemed to be a person from a well-to-do family.

Lister did not interject, Raja looked at the other party and said, “Uh …… me and my two brothers have this intention, I don’t know sir you are ……”

The middle-aged man bowed slightly to them and said, “Let me introduce myself first, my name is Sangar Mahabhai, I am an intermediary merchant, and my main business is in the area of arms buying and selling, and army hiring.”

“Oh, so it’s Master Mahabhai.” The Raja poured a glass of wine to greet him, and Mahabhai came over with his own wine.

The two of them drank a glass, and this intermediary named Sangar Mahabhai said, “The heads of all the major mercenary groups in Horned Bay have friendships with me, especially those in the Horned Bay Alliance, if you guys want to become mercenaries, I can act as an introducer, and I’m sure that you’ll be able to pick the team you’re happy with.”

His words made Raja and the others raise their interest, and they soon climbed into conversation, this Mahabhai was very skillful in conversation, after a few sentences it felt like the two sides had known each other for a long time.

Lister who was left on the sidelines felt a bit bored and felt that he should leave, he was just about to stand up to say goodbye when he suddenly saw Sangh Mahabhai glaring from across the room.

“My goodness! Could it be that today is my lucky day?”

Mahabayi’s eyes looked straight at the door of the tavern, and Lister followed their gaze to see the group of people who had just come in looking for a seat.

“Hey! This way, this way, look here. Ferguson, Doug, recognize me? Sanger Mahabhai.” Mahabhai jumped to his feet and kept waving his arms toward the group that had just come in.

His movement caught the attention of the group of people who just came in, surrendering their eyes to Lester’s table, two of them saw Mahabhai’s eyes light up when they saw him, looking like the two old acquaintances from Mahabhai’s mouth.

Those two people drank their companions around them and muttered for a while, then together with their companions, they walked towards Lester’s table.

“Mahabhai! What a surprise to see you here.”

Doug, the leader of the Black Dog Mercenaries, said towards him in surprise.

“Haha, I thought you had been cut down by your debtors.”

Ferguson, the leader of the other mercenary group, said very venomously.

“Don’t talk nonsense, my debt was paid off a long time ago.” Mahabhai said with a smile, “It’s you guys, how come I haven’t heard from you in the past two years, I remember that your last mission was to ……”

“Yes, the Northwest Gulf!”

Ferguson suddenly flipped out, and with a speed that made it impossible to see, he suddenly reached out with both hands, grabbed Mahabhai’s fine silk robe, and lifted him off the ground by his feet.

“It’s all because of the good business you introduced me to, that I’ve been digging coal in the Northwest Gulf for two years. I’ve been fading birds in my mouth!”

Ferguson shook this face full of horizontal meat, looking like he couldn’t wait to swallow Mahabayi alive.

“Master Mahabhai!” The servants that Mahabayi left at the original table surrounded them.

“It’s fine, it’s fine!” The Mahabayi who was lifted up by Ferguson was calm, still with that smiling look, waving his hand for his servants to retreat.

“Ferguson, I can just be an introducer, after you guys went to the battlefield, you handed over your destiny to the Lord of Light, and what happened afterward is none of my business. The moment you became mercenaries, weren’t you already ready for this realization?”

But still, looking at Ferguson, he didn’t intend to let him go, and Doug looked like he was watching the show.

At this time a companion beside Ferguson snapped, “Okay, Ferguson, don’t make trouble.”

With a reluctant look on his face, Ferguson put Mahabhai down.

A single word surprisingly made the impressionable and unruly mercenary leader obedient, Mahabayi couldn’t help but cast a curious look at the man.

He smiled and asked the other party, “This lord, my full name is Sango Mahabayi, I don’t know how I should address you.”

The man responded with a faint smile, “My name is Bogdan, a person sent by Doug, Fergus and their employers to follow them.”
