Grandmaster Hunter of Age of Mythology

Let’s talk about Yinpan Town…

The place where the two sides fought fiercely naturally came under the jurisdiction of Yinpan Town. The new lord had just taken office this morning, so he naturally had to take care of it since a battle had broken out in the territory.

There is no doubt that both groups have backgrounds. That group of people are well-trained and focus on fighting a few weak people. If they go to help the majority, it will only be icing on the cake.

So helping a small number of people is different, maybe that will generate huge benefits...

Noon the next day

The new lord observed for a long time before sending troops to stop the battle, and the timing was just right. Around noon, the two people in the cell woke up, so they were interrogated as usual.

The lord prepared a table of food and politely invited Tan Aili and the mercenary captain to sit down. The interrogation would take place at the banquet, so there was no need for the two to hide anything.

After some in-depth understanding, the relationship between the two people, that of employer and mercenary, gradually became clear.

It is obvious that the other party is definitely not just a group of ordinary bandits, but a powerful force.

Tan Aili began to tell the whole story: At the beginning, she wanted to go to the War College in the capital to study further, so she hired a team of mercenaries in Shadowmoon City to escort her.

However, unexpectedly, the mercenary team was annihilated on the way! Now, she decided to return to her hometown with a heart full of hatred and take revenge on the enemies who had hurt them.

Since the Mercenary Association had already intervened, this matter involved credibility issues, so the Mercenary Association was ready to retaliate. Therefore, it was inevitable that a fierce encounter would break out in Shadow Moon City.

It is worth mentioning that the lord here is a young and promising man, and he is also the second son of a duke. In his early years, the duke successfully became the candidate lord by spending a lot of money.

After the original lord of Yinpan Town was deprived of his position due to bankruptcy, the second son, who originally had no right of inheritance, was assigned to this place to serve as the lord, and was responsible for the important task of reproducing offspring and expanding the family.

It must be said that this place is relatively closed and backward, and it is not easy to obtain considerable economic benefits. Fortunately, his father, the Duke, has already known the actual situation of the place.

After all, under normal circumstances, ordinary nobles would easily face bankruptcy, but how could a territory controlled by a family with huge power like the Duke easily fall into a desperate situation? The answer is naturally no.

Look, this place is rich in iron ore resources and rare silver ore resources!

As long as we transport the skilled craftsmen within the family here and process these ores into various exquisite products to sell to major institutions in the empire, I believe it won't take long before Yinpan Town will become prosperous.

The lord laughed: "The reputation of the Mercenary Association has been damaged, and they will retaliate in Shadowmoon City. This time you were attacked by this force, and it seems that they are not small. I can't even provide so many knights, so which force is so powerful?"

"My Lord, this cannot be told. The Mercenary Association has already obtained the exact information about this force. You'd better not ask about it."

Lord: "Let me ask you another question. How much benefit can I get from escorting you back to the Shadowmoon City Mercenary Association?"

"I can sign you a check for 30,000 gold coins right now. What do you think of this deal, Lord?"

The lord was already overjoyed, as such a large amount of money was equivalent to a starting capital, but he still acted calm and said, "It's only 30,000 gold coins, the lady doesn't seem to be sincere enough."

"Sir, I am a commoner. Although my family is in business, we don't have much savings. This is the money I have prepared for living expenses in the capital. You can't look at this from an aristocratic perspective!"

"This lord wants to establish good relations with the Mercenary Association. Sending you back seems to be able to make friends with the top mercenaries, which will be beneficial without any harm."

Tan Aili: "Of course. If I can escape from this predicament, I will always remember your kindness and will definitely repay you."

"Deal, how about we set off tomorrow?"

"Thank you, Lord, but the lives of two mercenaries are still unknown, this..."

"It's none of my business. I'm just sending you back. I'm not sure we can defeat them in the mountains. You should go back alive first, and we can talk about other things later. They are just mercenaries, and their association will take care of them."

Feng Kasi was very angry inside, but the words on the tip of his tongue did not come out. Nobles are nobles, and other people are just ants. Sending his employer back and earning 30,000 gold coins is what he cares about.

As for the old man and the Kashin brothers, he didn't care.

As long as Feng Kasi can bring his employer to the destination safely, he will get 18,000 gold coins and the friendship of this young lady, so he cannot instigate the nobles to lead their men into the quagmire of mountain warfare.

If the employer died or he died, the wealth that was within his grasp would be gone, so von Carthy chose to remain silent...

After a long silence, Tan Aili said: "No, there are still two mercenaries whose lives are in danger. I hope that the lord will send troops to repel them. If they die, I will feel endless guilt in the future, please."

The lord thought for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, I can't do it. The knights under my command are all heavy cavalry. They can't fight for a long time in the mountains and forests. That military force is not simple, so I can't help you. Sending you to Shadowmoon City can earn 30,000 gold coins. I can do it, so young lady, I advise you to take care of yourself..."

"Well, I'll get ready and leave the town to fight to the death. There's no need for the Lord to send me back. I'll say goodbye now and see you later."

The lord laughed: "Wait a minute, if you leave, how can I earn 30,000 gold coins? Come, catch you and send you to jail, and I will send you to Shadowmoon City tomorrow."

Tan Aili picked up the dinner knife, leaped across the table, and quickly approached the lord. In the blink of an eye, she had threatened the lord's safety.

The lord simply picked up the copper plate to block her knife, and his fighting spirit burst out. The table was shaken to pieces, and Tan Aili seemed to be blocked by a wall of energy and was shaken back by a force...

In one move, Tan Aili was subdued. The lord laughed and said, "Miss, you can't play such a big joke on me. It's not funny at all. Come, take them back to the prison." After that, he looked at Feng Kaxi with a sharp look.

How could he dare to move? In his eyes, the lord's fighting spirit was so high that he was like a god. He lowered his head in shame.

"You don't have 30,000 gold coins. If you dare to move, you will die. Just go back to your cell."

The two knights will come and take Tan Aili and Feng Kasi away. She can only stare at the lord with her eyes, feeling very dissatisfied in her heart. She didn't expect the nobles to be so shameless as to force a sale on them.

But so what? They were no match for the lord, and so the two were thrown into prison again.

Tan Aili didn't know what was wrong with her, she actually wanted to save the two mercenaries. To the nobles, they were worthless and not worth the effort to rescue them. This force was still uncertain, so there was no need to offend them too much.

As a petitioner, one does not need to worry about the life or death of the mercenaries. They earn money with their lives, and the association will be responsible for their aftermath. The most important thing is to stay alive, so Tan Aili's thoughts go beyond the normal range.

In fact, she knew it by herself that if Kashin was replaced by anyone else, she would also be indifferent. It was precisely because of her love for him that she became so "righteous".

Tan Aili sighed and actually began to pray for Kashin...
