Chapter 171 - Three Swordsmen (2/2)
While Rhode dozed off for a few moments, Sereck left Rhode only noticed when Sereck finally left He walked toward the three people and waved his hand, then sat down again
“Then… nice to meet the three of you” Rhode was silent, but in the end, he still chose the direct approach
“But I hope you guys can answer me this question Why did the three of you choose to join roup?”
“It’s like this, Mr Rhode” Hearing Rhode’s question, the three of thelanced toward each other before finally Kavon spoke He clasped his hands, showed his ware for you to doubt this ht not know that your Starlight roup shook the entire Paphield area and became a discussion topic for many mercenaries I’ roup in the Paphield area, and people like us can only pick up the remains left by them But because this kind of incident suddenly happened, no one’s life was good Not to roup is always secretive and h the Burning Blade , but they have a lot of problems… and they have a lot of members, so I don’t think they would even consider us However, your Starlight ht is stronger than Burning Blade You don’t have to refute it; this is a fact You saved theoes, people walk toward higher positions Every roup for benefits Moreover, unlike Burning Blade, you don’t have many members Of course, I don’t mean to say it’s a probleroup Although your strength is strong enough to face many problems, if you received ht? That’s e think if we could join Starlight, then we can at least help you regarding this…”
“I understand what youuntil here, Rhode nodded Of course he knehat Kavos ht was, it wasn’t invincible So Blade roup always maintained the first place position for so many years, so to them, numbers weren’t a proble Blade, they wouldn’t be treated well However, Starlight was different; although they were stronger than Burning Blade, their nuendary sword he was, he would not be be able to split the earth in half It was also impossible for him to cook and wash by himself… He still needed support in those parts
That’s why they thought by joining Starlight, they at least wouldn’t be treated as badly as they would in Burning Blade since they didn’t really care about nuuys qualified to do so?” Rhode’s words made the three of them surprised, but he didn’t stop there and continued to speak “Indeed, we’re still lacking in numbers, but we haven’t reached the liuys, I believe that you must have reached a certain standard, but whether it reachessaid that, Rhode spread his hands and coldly looked at the three of them “It’s still uncertain”
Rhode understood what Kavos was trying to achieve Mercenaries were just as sly as merchants From the first time, his enthusiastic and blunt speeches were all directed to himself This made people think that they were sincere, or at the very least, not nonsense It was sless nonsense like “I adreatest mercenary commander here”
However, he naturally couldn’t follow along sroup, then they th to do so He needed to let them knoho the real master was here Only he could decide whether they could join or not; it wouldn’t happen just because they were lobbying
If Rhode just agreed after hearing their words, it would leave an i too soft and easily be h what they said was right, he still had to interrupt it and gave the until here, Kavos’s expression changed He glanced toward his two brothers, and the hugejust now, clearly dissatisfied with Rhode while the otherabout
“Since the three of you are very faroup, then youthat he had the upper hand right now, Rhode didn’t plan to give it up, wanting to control the situation, and started to put pressure on the until here, Kavos expression turned serious and nodded
Starlight’s weird contract had spread ainning For insurance, another copy of the contract was kept by the Mercenary association Since this matter was known to the Mercenary association, of course mercenaries knew about it too and everyone was shocked by it
Rhode’s approach had led to two different opinions in the ion One said that it was considered traditional desecration and lacked respect for oods and slaves, not hus It was just too inhumane for their existence to be syood, they would be expelled Once a roup would be their houard their home properly? What Rhode did was too inhumane and wouldn’t be welcomed by anyone
On the other hand, the other side was very supportive of Rhode’s behavior They thought this method would help stimulate a mercenary’s passion, and the content of the contract could easily solve roup, such as loot distribution and what happened if a mercenary was injured Before, everyone had their own idea, and the result of this trivial roup feel uncomfortable With a contract, written in black and white, more contribution would be awarded with more reward The contract itself was known by everyone, so they didn’t have to worry about who out of the force tookback on their words This was a lot better than bickering on their own After all, they still valued the contract and this forroup toback on their oords could be said the biggest taboo in the mercenary circle
When Rhode reminded them about this matter, the three of the
“Mr Sereck trusts you guys, but I don’t trust you guys I trust Sereck, butsaid that, Rhode reached out two fingers on his right hand
“I hope you guys can sign a contract The contract valid for two years and I can renew your contract when it expires if your performance satisfies me Like everyone else, if you can successfully renew the contract three tiive you a copy of the specific terivesaid that, Rhode stood up and looked at the three of them Now, he finally had full control of the situation
“I hope we can have a satisfying beginning”
