C396 Valiant mercenary (1/2)
Dwight was the captain of a mercenary group, but life was getting more and more difficult. Originally, he had been living in the forest of magical beasts, but although it was a bit dangerous, he was still fairly well-dressed.
However, since the few lords sealed off the Magic Beast Forest, no matter who entered or exited, they would have to pay a high tax, making life difficult for them.
No one wanted to fight with their lives on the line. The benefits they would receive would then be split between them. As a result, many people would have no choice but to seek another way out.
He didn't have much money left, and his brothers still had to eat, so he came to the Mercenary Union today hoping to try his luck.
He asked the young girl who was receiving him if there was any mission that required him to go to the Magic Beast Forest. The reward for this mission was relatively high, and it would be able to supplement his family's income.
That little sister was really nice. She secretly looked around and then said in a small voice, ”You really picked it up. I have a big mission here.”
The employer did not want to reveal his name, so he had already given the reward money for the mission to me. The reward money is one hundred thousand gold coins, which is enough for you to live for a few years. ”
When Dwight heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, and his voice sounded urgent: ”What kind of mission is it? I'm sure I'll earn that money. ”
The little sister looked around, gave him a piece of paper, and said in a low voice, ”This is a life and death business, it's best to think it through.
”I understand now. Coming here tomorrow, I will give you a deposit of 50 thousand. I'm not afraid that you will take the money and run away. If that great figure wants to kill you, you can't even run away.”
Dwight held the paper tightly in his hand and nodded heavily. He knew that since the other party dared to say such words, he had absolute confidence that he wouldn't do it.
He secretly took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, ”There's no need to wait until tomorrow. No matter what is written on this note, I'm done. Give me the deposit!”
He took the deposit and returned to his station, not daring to open the note along the way. If the news were to leak out, he would die without a burial.
After he returned, he called his trusted aides over and told them about this matter. He then placed the paper on the table and solemnly opened it.
When these people saw the contents of the paper slip, their faces immediately turned pale. They did not expect that they would have to kill the Fourth Prince of the empire and also conveniently wipe out their Divine Dragon Empire s.
His number one trusted aide, Rodriguez Norris, gritted his teeth and said, ”This quest is really dangerous. It's like going against the will of the world. If anyone found out about this, we'd be dead for sure.”
Dwight took a deep breath and then said firmly, ”Now that we know about this mission and have even accepted the deposit, we have no choice but to do this.
Even if we return the deposit now, the other party would definitely not let us off. After all, if we were to find out about this matter, it would be a huge hidden danger for them.
This is not like saying that we did the task and succeeded. In that case, in order to protect our lives, we won't say anything. ”
Rodriguez nodded his head. He knew that his Guild Leader was right. There was no other way out now. He could only run all the way until the end. He might as well fight this battle.
These mercenaries lived a life of bloodshed. Under these circumstances, they would naturally become even more valiant. Even if they died on the left and right, it would be better to just fight for their lives. Perhaps, there was still a chance of survival.
