Grandmaster Hunter of Age of Mythology
Chapter 35 The Dilemma of the Mercenary Association
A mysterious masked person slowly walked to the front desk, her voice low and firm: "I want to issue a task."
Although she was masked, from the pleasant voice, it could be determined that she was a young woman. However, there was more to her than that. Her black nightgown was soaked by the rain and stuck to her body, as if she had just been through a fierce battle. Sweat and blood mixed together, giving off a pungent and unpleasant smell.
"Okay, please show me your ID card," the front desk staff responded politely. When he took the masked man's ID card and checked it, he was shocked.
It turns out that this mysterious guest had already issued an escort mission in Shadowmoon City. More importantly, this mission has not been revoked yet, which means it is still in an unfinished state. What does this mean? Could it be...
The front desk staff realized the seriousness of the problem and decided that they must investigate it thoroughly before making a decision: "Dear guest, please follow me inside to discuss the details!" There was a hint of caution and seriousness in their tone.
The masked man nodded slightly to show his agreement. Then, she said softly, "Thank you. In addition, please arrange for someone to look after my mount and help me take down my luggage. I'm really sorry, I'm really exhausted just now..." Her words showed that she was exhausted.
They immediately sent people to take good care of her car and unload her luggage. The extremely solid double-layer cowhide travel bag was already covered with scars, with many damaged places revealing the steel wires in the cowhide compartment, and six sharp arrowheads deeply embedded in the bag, as if telling of the fierce battle it had experienced.
Fortunately, the horse was not seriously injured, but just a little exhausted, and was taken to the side for careful care. It can be predicted that after some care, it will quickly regain its vitality and vigor.
In the small room specially prepared for VIPs by the Mercenary Association, the mysterious woman with her face covered described the whole incident in detail. It turned out that she had issued an escort mission in Shadow Moon City, and hired three mercenaries with knight-level strength and fifteen ordinary mercenaries to escort her to the capital. However, when she was outside the city last night, she was fiercely chased by a group of unknown people.
Faced with such danger, those brave warriors did their best to help her break through the siege. After entering the city, the two loyal guards who had been guarding her fought against the group of unidentified fierce warriors at the risk of their lives. Their life and death status remains a mystery.
Before she finished her words, this strong woman could no longer suppress her inner grief and burst into tears.
"Don't worry, mercenary brothers are one family. We will immediately track them down along the route you mentioned. If they are sacrificed, the association will deeply regret it and send people to deal with the aftermath. The Mercenary Association of Shadowmoon City has suffered heavy losses..."
All the staff members were filled with grief and indignation, and stood up in silence...
We'll send someone to investigate and notify the people from the city hall to go along as well.
The other side asked: "Tell me why you went to the capital, and please tell the truth. This may be related to the attack on you..."
The masked woman asked the staff to bring in the luggage, opened the unusually sturdy travel bag, and took out a letter of recommendation...
"Imperial War College? Girl, you are going there for further studies, that's good!"
The experienced senior executive of the association is an old man: "This has been planned for a long time. The guards you hired are not weak, but the people sent by the other party suppressed them easily. Has your travel information been leaked?"
“This! I don’t know either…”
"Would you like to talk about your family situation?" the staff member asked cautiously.
The woman raised her head slightly, her eyes revealing a hint of complex emotions: "Okay, since you asked, then I will tell you. My mother was a concubine, and my father is a well-known local businessman. However, due to my special status, I do not have the right to inherit the family wealth. On the surface, I am just an ordinary Kabuki, but in fact, since I was young, my father has secretly hired many famous teachers to teach me the art of assassination. Of course, over the years, I have also carried out some assassination missions for my father many times, and even had to accompany those distinguished guests... As for this invitation letter, it was given to me by my father, hoping to find a legitimate future for me and never let me get involved in those dangerous things again. My father will never recognize us mother and daughter on the surface."
Hearing this, the senior elder couldn't help but admire the woman in front of him a little more: "Thank you, Miss, for being able to tell me such a confidential matter. Please rest assured that our Mercenary Association will definitely conduct an in-depth investigation into this matter. We have always been based on integrity. Since we have accepted this commission, we will definitely keep our promise and escort you to the capital safely."
The woman nodded slightly to express her gratitude. "Thank you for your help. I feel a little tired now. I want to eat something and rest for a while before preparing for the next journey. In addition, I would like to ask for your help in finding some manpower. Also, how can we provide compensation for those mercenary brothers who unfortunately died? I am willing to contribute a little money to show my appreciation."
Although the battle was not caused by her, and the failure of the mercenary to complete the mission did damage their reputation, the masked girl took the initiative to offer compensation, which was an admirable act. Therefore, according to the rules of the Mercenary Association, they would not accept compensation from customers.
The masked girl donated 10,000 gold coins to the Mercenary Association for peace of mind. Only then did they accept it with reluctance, and the association's top leaders couldn't help but look up to the girl.
She moved into an inner room that was protected by layers of security, and immediately got a table of food from the restaurant so that the girl could have a good meal and a good sleep.
The association paid for him to replace his sturdy animal hide luggage bag with a new mount, and also provided him with a good weapon, leather armor, nightgown, and underwear, all of which were replaced with new ones.
Her wolf needs to rest for more than ten days to recover its strength, so it cannot be allowed to travel far for the time being. The association will bear the cost of replacing it with a batch of high-quality wolf packs for the girl.
When screening the conditions, a conflict arose with the Bell family. Little Midi also went to the Capital War Academy. In addition to the family knights, he also recruited a group of mercenaries to do miscellaneous tasks.
Something happened to the masked girl, so they couldn't be arranged to travel together, so as not to implicate the Bell family.
There are not many top-notch fighters in the city, and they have all been transferred away by the Earl. What should we do?
His luck was not too bad, as Kashen, who was a sparring partner for the Bell family, was a good fighter. He also had a Warcraft mount. He did not continue to accept missions for the Bell family and chose to rest in the inn, fearing that he could not hire anyone.
The old man at the top of the association planned to go in person and inquire about the situation first.
In the evening, the old man knocked on Kashin's door and expressed his purpose of coming with a mission.
"I'm really sorry, I just finished the sparring mission and now it's a hot wave, so I'll take more missions after the summer. So please go back, senior. I won't take any missions for the entire summer."
"For this mission, just name the price. We will organize a team to escort one person to Beijing within one or two days..."
There were only two survivors in the mercenary team of the Shadowmoon City branch, and almost the entire army was wiped out. This was the darkest moment for the association, and they could only organize another team to escort them to Beijing.
Even if we escort someone to the next mercenary branch, they will provide additional personnel and deliver them to the destination. Reputation is the common interest of the Mercenary Association...
