Chapter 159 (1/2)

The sunset red tavern in Hongye town welcomed three different guests today.

The tavern owner personally served the three people. Just seeing that his hand holding the tray was shaking constantly, we can know that the boss's heart is not relaxed at the moment.

However, if anyone's shop in Hongye town is surrounded by a group of mercenaries, I'm afraid it won't be easy.

In the past year, this mercenary corps, which should have brought a sense of security to Hongye Town, has brought a kind of fear to the villagers here, especially the intensification in recent days, so that the villagers will not easily leave their homes if it is unnecessary. It's just that the pubs in the town can't help it. These mercenaries come to the pubs to drink every day and sometimes knock on the door from the morning, so other shops can close the door and ignore everything, but several pubs in the town can't do so.

For some safety reasons, there are no waitresses working in these pubs now.

The tavern owner managed to put the tray on the table, and then put the food on the tray - two heavier meat chops and one red maple noodles unique to Hongye town one by one in front of the three guests. I don't know whether it was too nervous or too afraid. When picking up the last steak, the boss accidentally shook his hand and spilled some sauce out.

”Right... Right... Right...” now, the tavern owner became more nervous. He said a simple sentence with only three words, but he couldn't say it for most of the day.

”Nothing.” Sean shook his head helplessly and said with a smile, ”are you afraid of me?”

”Yes.” The tavern owner nodded, then his face changed greatly, and immediately shook his head, ”no... no...”

Sean chuckled and said, ”don't worry, we won't default.”

As a result, the tavern owner showed a smile more ugly than crying.

”Well, such a little food may not be enough. You can have more steak.” Sean glanced at Arnold's plate. His conversation with the tavern owner was only a few seconds. Arnold's plate had been licked clean. It looked so smooth that it could be used as a mirror. ”My companion... Can eat more.”

”A few copies are not enough.” Anno said in a low voice.

”How many copies do you want?” Sean said with some tears and laughter.

”Three...”

”Three?”

”Thirty copies.”

Sean is a little speechless.

Then, he turned his head and looked at the boss. The boss seemed to know what Sean was going to say, so he could only say with a bitter face: ”there are thirty stocks, but there are not enough people in the store, and...”

At this point, the tavern owner looked sideways at the others sitting in the hall, and his face looked very uneasy.

This tavern with sunset red sign is one of the famous old signs in Hongye town. It is said that it has been handed down from the generation of the grandfather of the owner's grandfather. But later, due to poor management, the tavern nearly closed several times, so it became more and more dilapidated. Although the tavern sold the most authentic wine in Hongye Town, and also had the characteristic food of red maple noodles, it also meant that the consumption was more expensive. Therefore, the sunset red tavern had been unable to make ends meet for a very long time.

But today, the sunset wine restaurant has ushered in an extremely brilliant day - of course, this kind of brilliance is not what the tavern owner wants.

In the hall, nearly twenty tables were full.

These people are clearly divided into two groups: both groups wear standard clothes, one red and one blue, but the styles of the two clothes are somewhat different. Most of the people in red clothes are older, basically about 30 years old. The weapons on the table are mainly two handed swords, and a few are equipped with shields. Their clothes are embroidered with a herald. It seems that they are a snake.

There is no doubt that this group are mercenaries.

The biggest difference between mercenaries and mercenaries is that the former takes war as the main activity content, so their weapons and clothes are relatively unified standard equipment. The more famous the mercenary Corps is, the more they will pay attention to their own military discipline. At the same time, they also have stable logistics and reserve recruits. Moreover, because the mercenary Corps often participates in war activities, the more famous the mercenary Corps is, the more terrible the combat effectiveness is and the more complete the arms are; However, mercenaries mainly deal with entrustment. Although they occasionally participate in the war, they are not as good as mercenaries in training and military discipline. There is no unified system for weapons and clothing, which is completely diverse.

In order to distinguish the main difference between the two, the mercenary union adds the word ”hire” before ”mercenary” to distinguish the two. However, in fact, both mercenaries and mercenaries usually merge and develop at the same time once the scale becomes larger. Therefore, in the end, they also go the same way, and there is no real distinction in the strict sense. Of course, there are some mercenaries or mercenaries who simply disdain to develop in the other direction.

In the hall, in addition to this group of mercenaries, another group of young people wearing blue clothes, only a few middle-aged men over the age of 30. Their weapon is also a standard weapon, but it is a long gun. The body of the gun is made of wood. Only an iron gun head is installed in front of it. This kind of thing is a few copper coins. There are weapon shops all over the street. It doesn't need any technical content to make it. Even blacksmith apprentices can do it.

Therefore, the identity of this group is also very easy to distinguish. The militia in Hongye town.

Sean knows exactly why these two groups are here at the same time.

In the final analysis, it was because Arnold, a fool, knocked down five mercenaries - if it was Sean, he would choose an alley and kill all five without knowing it; But it happened that Arnold, a fool, stopped five mercenaries sitting on the road. When the other party didn't know where to go, he gave the other party a punch, and then hit the five people on the ground.

It's nothing to lie down, but the place Ann Nuo chose was the square of Hongye Town, so this scene was naturally seen by many people.

”Brother, are you kidding me?” Knowing this, Sean was helpless to think of it.

Fortunately, however, Arnold didn't know what caused the short circuit. At least he didn't kill the five people, so it didn't come to the point where the two sides had to fight with knives and guns as soon as they met. Otherwise, Sean wouldn't have continued to enter the town. He had already turned around and ran away with Arnold and others. At least he would come back after gathering troops.

As for the purpose of the civil corps, it is to prevent these mercenaries from making any unbearable things. According to the vague words Sean heard from Ann Nuo, after the hard restoration of himself and Cecilia, and after beating around the Bush from the tavern owner, he finally understood that after a conflict broke out between the mercenary corps and the militia a few days ago, the contradiction between the two sides finally moved from the bottom to the table. Now no one can accept anyone.

However, only from this point of view and the situation that anno can play five one, Sean has a more lateral understanding of the strength of this mercenary regiment.

The only thing that is still unclear is the strength of the head of this mercenary regiment.
