Chapter 571 – Return to the mercenaries of Horn Bay 2
Chapter 571 The Mercenary Who Returned to Horn Bay 2
Bogdan, or Jeremiah Erwin, Bogdan was his alias in Horned Bay, whose person was a senior staff officer of the Alda Army Staff – and also a faculty member of the Graiman Military Academy, with the rank of Major, who had been appointed to be the overseer of the mercenaries this time around, and brought a group of faculty members and students of the Graiman Military Academy along with the mercenaries to the Horn Bay.
Schroeder, the chief of staff, described Erwin as calm and courageous, and personally named him to lead the group south.
The mission given to Erwin this time, in addition to managing the mercenaries, there is also an important aspect is to lead the people of Graiman College to investigate and study the military power of the countries in the Horn Bay, including the organization system, human resources, combat style, weaponry, and so on, it is not that the Lake Town has any idea about the Horn Bay, but the study of these things should have been a military academy should do, and now there is a ready-made case such as the Horn Bay War, it is natural that the war in the Horn Bay is a good example. such a ready-made case, it was natural to make good use of it and exercise their abilities.
“It is a great honor to meet you! Lord Bogdan.”
Sanger Mahabhai came forward and very self-congratulatoryly shook Erwin’s hand, shaking it eagerly.
Erwin smiled and nodded at him, while Ferguson and Doug grunted heavily in contempt toward Mahabhai.
“I wonder which lord hired the black dog and rhino. Ah, let me take a guess, it must be some big shot from the Northwest Bay right?” Mahabayi heard from the other party’s accent where they came from, in recent years merchants from the Northwest Gulf of the Kingdom of Aldo had piled into Horned Bay to do business, and Mahabayi, who had an extremely wide range of social contacts, was naturally familiar with the characteristics of their accents.
“The lord I serve is Earl Paul Greiman, Lord of Arda.” Erwin still smiled as he replied, although the personal identities of these people of theirs needed to be kept secret, which side of the force they belonged to did not need to be kept secret.
Sitting on the side, Liszt’s eyes lit up as he listened.
“My goodness! The Lord of Light is above!” With a very exaggerated expression, Mahabaji opened his mouth into an O shape.
“I’ve already established that today is my lucky day.” He had a happy face, as if he had picked up some treasure.
“I’ve heard of Count Greiman’s great name, and legend has it that he was a great inventor and an invincible commander. Porcelain, paper, canned goods, printed books, sailing ships …… without oarsmen all came from the hands of this count right. Oh, it is also said that he also eliminated the pirates that had plagued the territory for many years and defeated the evil lord next door, are these rumors true?”
“Uh …… basically …… all true I guess.” Elvin was a bit surprised, the lord’s reputation had already spread here in Horn Bay? Thinking about it this is also normal, the Northwest Gulf merchants can run to Horn Bay to make a fortune, it is indeed thanks to Earl Gleiman, the ships that are able to sail the oceans, open new routes, and won’t encounter competitors’ goods, all of these are the Earl’s credit, the merchants worship him as a matter of course, when talking about their own lord with the locals, the words can’t help but tout a bit.
“So …… what is it that Earl Graiman hires black dogs and rhinoceroses to come to Horn Bay for? Is there anything I can do to help?”
After learning that the other party’s boss was Paul Gleiman, Mahabhai made a decision – to establish a firm friendship with the other party.
“To tell you the truth, I have quite a few contacts and connections in Horn Bay, so if you need anything, by all means come to me. Ask Ferguson and Doug if you don’t believe me.”
Erwin looked at the two mercenary group leaders, and Doug nodded and said, “Lord Bogdan, this guy does have quite a few contacts, but be careful about getting screwed on the price.”
“Childish, childish, childish, childish, I, Mahabayi I business very much value honesty.” Mahabayi tried his best to sell himself.
Erwin said, “Thank you, Mr. Mahabhai, I will consider you if I ever need you. Earl Gleiman’s main mission in sending us to Horn Bay is to protect the safety and property of the people under his rule, and we don’t want to get involved in too many chores.”
“Is that so?” Mahabhai said happily, “There’s a lot to deal with on this kind of job, so I think we’ll definitely have the opportunity to work together. Also ……”
Mahabhai looked around cautiously, then reached out to Erwin and said, “Please take a seat at my table, I have some inside information I’d like to tell you.”
Elwyn nodded, curious about what he could tell this local native who was clearly one of the “well-informed”.
Mahabhai made a gesture towards Raja and Lister, and led Erwin and the others to his own table.
Lister decided not to go first after knowing that the new ones who came in were from the Northwest Bay, still the other party was still under the orders of the lord, Earl Greiman, and he decided to get acquainted with the other party after they finished talking with Mahabhai, and it was always good to get to know one more fellow countryman in this exotic land. As for Raja and the other three who were sitting with him, they decided to look for Mahabhai later to ask for some information about the mercenary team, so they didn’t go either, and waited together with Liszt.
On Mahabhai’s side, he ordered wine for all his new friends, then looked at Erwin mysteriously and said, “Lord Bogdan, I wonder if Black Dog and Rhino still have the strength left to do some other tasks besides defending their assets.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“Oh, my lord. Black Dog and Rhinoceros are the number one mercenary team on this side of the original Horned Bay, it would be a waste to just have them do some security work.”
As she said this, Mahabhai had a pitying expression, “I now have a chance to get rich to introduce, have you guys heard about it? Ha …… right, you guys are now new to the country, so I guess you guys don t know about it. The alliance’s army has won a big battle on the front line – the news that came back was like this, but what actually happened was a disastrous victory, and the army that went out for the battle lost a great deal of money, and is desperately in need of replenishing its soldiers. Right now, the Convocation is busy contacting people like us to find them mercenaries.”
“Is that so?” Erwin said copiously with his mouth, already knowing what the other party was going to say next.
“Haha, you see, I just received a commission and randomly drilled into a tavern to have some wine, and I ran into the two Ferguson and Doug, what do you think if this is not Heavenly Father’s arrangement?”
Mahabaji danced happily, “So as long as you, as the employer’s representative, can give Black Dog and Rhino more tasks, you can get a large sum of money from the Convocation.”
