Chapter 763

The bear regiment station 20 kilometers west of the Nether Soul forest pioneering point in the Kingdom of Dodo, the old regiment leader Barrett sits on the main seat of the conference hall, and is the Silvermoon Manor for ten days Upset by the secret order.

The secret order was written by Lilia, stamped with the family chief's stamp, and asked him to take the bear group to the family’s Raven Town at the northern end of Centaur Hills within two months for rest, and Randal fourth Legion The bear group mercenaries were reorganized, and they have since been included in the fourth hired Legion sequence. The family members of the bear group mercenaries are all given Randal's tenant household registration, and each family is allocated 50 acres of rotating farmland, and they are exempted from their two-year tenant rent.

Mrs. Lilia offered generous terms, which was to buy the capital of the people's hearts for Barritt, but her secret order did not mention Barritt's post after returning to the family.

Barrett is a war bear veteran who watched Nelson siblings grow up. At that time, although the life of War Bear Mercenaries was difficult, Lilia was also the pearl in the palm of the big guy. If Lilia wants to use the wealth of power to buy Barrett's uncle now, it will make the old mercenary feel sad.

The reason for Barrett's upset is definitely not greedy for the position of the leader of the bear group. An ordinary person is an adult at 15 years old, and he can live to 65 years old as a long life. He has reached 55 years old this year and has entered the twilight years of his life. Although he practices secret methods regularly and his family regularly provides precious life-prolonging potions, his energy can never be the same as that of a mature man. Compared with the period, the little ambitions of his youth have long been wiped out in the drifting mercenary career. Even if he returns to Randal, he does not want to hold a position in the family. He only wants to carefully teach his underage children and pave the way for future generations.

The reason the old regiment leader Barrett felt embarrassed was that he lost control of the bear group, or it would be more accurate to put it another way: he has not mastered the real bear group, not in the past, and now No, it will be more impossible in the future.

The bear group originated from a whimsical work of His Royal Highness Randal. The infantry phalanx he designed was stinkingly worthless by Mrs. Nicole, and the result of the war chess deduction was even worse. At that time, His Royal Highness Randal, who was still too immature, was very unwilling. In order to accumulate the actual combat experience of the Grand Legion, he decided to form a super large mercenary group. Then, a group of unseen country bumpkin war bear mercenaries raised their hands and feet to express their approval, mainly because His Royal Highness Randal's elite guards have strong martial power and gave them unfathomable mystery confidence. Later, Barrett became the leader of the bear group. With a large sum of money and more than 30 Randal elite guards, he happily ran to the south of the Dodo Kingdom from Centaur Hills to accommodate stray mercenaries, villains, and small gangs of refugees. , Pulled up a team of hundreds of people, formed a bear group.

Recalling Barritt now, the Bear Group Early-Stage is actually a completely large group of refugees, unable to receive any mercenary tasks, and it has robbed a lot of hired jobs like building roads and building houses. , That is also relying on fights and fights, mainly because of low-price competition. Therefore, the head of Barritt has to pay for hundreds of mouths out of his own pocket.

It wasn't until His Royal Highness Randal ordered Barrett to cooperate with Nelson to ambush Ludwig Count in Stonetred City in the Kingdom of Dodo, that the bear group changed from a refugee group to a mercenary armed group.

With the elite guards and mountain hunters sent to him by His Royal Highness Randal, the bear group not only completed the ambush mission, but also advanced by leaps and bounds. Under the name of Sophia Mistress, Lord Dodo Look for it.

The bear group made its mark in the mercenary world, but it was hired by Lord Dodo at the Nether Soul forest development point to fight against the prairie jackals and the forest jackals werewolf race group.

At that time, the main force of Lord Dodo, Legion, went north to fight against the half-man Ma Dajun. In order to stabilize the situation, Lord Dodo offered very favorable conditions and aggressively recruited mercenary group and knight-errant to take over the defense task of the Nether Soul forest development point.

The mercenary group disbanded by the Wimbledon Chamber of Commerce has no work. They unite and accept the employment of Lord Dodo. The strongest leader, Barrett, is the first to play the banner of the bear group.

Dodian's troops remaining in the Nether Soul forest pioneering point are pitifully small, and the mercenary group and knight-errant have become the main armed forces against the jackals. In order to facilitate unified command, father, the garrison god of the pioneering point, came forward, and he took charge of putting all the large and small mercenary arms into the name of the largest bear group.

That was the most flourishing period of the Xiong Group, with more than 3,000 armed mercenaries and more than 8,000 family members. The mercenaries fight and the family members work. The bear group only needs to deduct eleven taxes on the income collected in the pioneering point, and then 20% is turned over to the lord of Dodo, and the remaining part is sold to the pioneering point and all belong to the bear group. Dodian also sold half-used armaments to the bear regiment, and even helped them build a 200-man cavalry unit.

The Nether Soul forest development point has become an independent kingdom of the bear group. Even if the old head Barritt is not a king, he is also the archon of the development point.

However, the bear group seems to be huge, after all, it is a combination of refugee mercenaries and knight-errant. Regardless of the strength of the large and small mercenary group leaders, all of them are wily old fox. They joined forces in the battle, and gradually formed several powerful forces, able to compete with the old head of the bear group for the right to speak. Barrett only sent eight deputy heads to them, which was actually a compromise strategy.

He is old after all, and his talents are limited. Even the Chamber of Commerce mercenary groups with him were taken away.

To this day, the bear group mercenaries controlled by Barritt account for only one-tenth of the total number. Lilia asked him to bring the bear group back to Randal. Each of the eight deputy commanders has its own Mind, I am afraid it is not so easy to dismiss.

When Barrett was secretly worried, the door of the chamber was pushed open from the outside, and a young mercenary with a brown-red ponytail broke in and exclaimed: "Hey, Commander uncle, you let me come over, are you thinking about it and begging me to take over as the leader of the bear group? I tell you, it’s not so easy for me to agree, you have to sincerely plead with me three times... uh, Two times, I reluctantly agreed."

Her voice was a little hoarse but full of youthful vitality, with a enthusiasm that people liked.

Barrett temporarily forgot his sorrow, and couldn’t help saying with a laugh: "Deputy Commander Vale, you are not the only one staring at my seat. As long as everyone obeys you, Xiong Tuan. Just take the long seat."

"Head Uncle, you are ready to give way to me! Don't worry, the bear group will give it to me, I will take it to Peak and become a human kingdom in the history of , The largest mercenary group!" The ponytail female mercenary promised with her eyes shining, and she patted her full chest.

Barrett didn't know whether to cry or laugh, he is not surprised by the other party's behavior. The eight deputy heads of the bear group wanted to oust the old head, but Octavier publicly stated that he wanted the position of the big head, but he would not disgust him.

He deliberately joked with Vale, and reminded with a smile: "I have been a mercenary for most of my life, and I have never heard of a mercenary group larger than the bear group."

"I will develop the bear group and make it a Legendary mercenary group." The female mercenary said very seriously.

She is about 20 years old, wearing bright and clean half-length armor and half-high-heeled women’s boots. This tight-fitting dress is clean and powerful, highlighting her tall and slender figure. Her straight and slender legs leave a good impression of shrewdness and competence; her facial features are pretty, her plump and smooth forehead to the nose bridge outlines the lines of wisdom, her skin is healthy wheat, and her gray-green eyes are smart and pure. The corner of her mouth always carries a small sly smile, and there is a shallow arc-shaped scar on the left cheek, extending from the corner of the eye to the chin, which does not damage her beautiful appearance, but adds a trace of fortitude and wild charm.

Barritt looked at her shining eyes, and couldn't help but imagine that Xiong Tuan became the grand scene of the Legendary mercenary group in her hands. The old mercenary had to admit that the deputy head of Octavier had a convincing charisma.

He shook the head, put this unrealistic fantasy out of his mind, pointed at the chair in front of the desk, and said: "Let’s sit down and talk."

Xiong Tuan The youngest deputy head sat on the chair and smiled hehe and asked, "Head Uncle, how do we handover?"

Barrit waved his hand and said tiredly: "No kidding. Let’s talk about business... Since the end of the Five-Day War, the situation of the bear group is getting worse and worse. You should have heard of the rumor in the group. Do you have any thoughts?"

"The rumor...what Rumor?" The young female mercenary blinked and asked innocently.

Octavil, a 23-year-old female knight-errant, a junior trainee Knight, the head of the mercenary group of fire lions, she has joined the bear group for the shortest time and has the weakest gathering power, but She can stand out from many mercenary group leaders and knight-errants, and becoming the deputy leader of the bear group shows her ability.

Barritt doesn't expect to bring the entire bear group back to Centaur Hills now, but if someone can help him take more than half of the manpower away, it must be Octaur.

Things have to start with the Five-Day War last year.

In January of last year’s windy season, the Sasan refugee south migration operation officially ended. More than 5,000 hired army soldiers from Centaur Hills no longer need to protect the refugee’s migration path. They were ordered by Duke York to Evacuate along the Nether Soul forest development point. Dodian asked the bear group to take over the outpost camp abandoned by Gambis hired by Legion, until the Dodo army officially settled in.

At that time, there were only more than 3,400 armed mercenaries in the bear group. In order to take over the abandoned sentry camps, Barrett urgently armed more than 600 young men and women. The force was still stretched. The bear group had to take Nether Soul. The guard mercenaries on the front line of the forest all withdrew. More than 4,000 bear group mercenaries were scattered among the large and small sentry camps. The defensive force was weak, and they also lost the ability to maneuver reinforcements.

However, Dodian agreed to send troops to the station but there was no sign of any movement. The gnoll tribe in the Nether Soul forest has long shown signs of unity under the pressure of the human pioneers. The guard forces of mankind at the periphery of the forest withdrew, and they finally united. In the middle of the night of February 11 in the season of wind, more than 6,000 jackals gathered three times the number of goblins and kobold servants and threw out from the Nether Soul forest. , Attacked the forward guard camp where the bear group mercenaries were stationed.

The general resident of the bear regiment bears the brunt, and tens of thousands of orcs and monsters are constantly hitting the garrison defense line like a raging wave. The bear group mercenaries were condescending and repelled their attacks again and again with strong bows and crossbows, but the cunning wolves leader saw the weak points of the garrison line of defense, and drove the strong as an ox bear goblins and kobolds to smash for a while. Iron wooden fence.

The orcs rushed into the resident of the bear group. There were families of mercenaries, thousands of old and weak women and children. In front of the man-eating monster, humans have no way out. The bear group mercenaries show unimaginable courage and strength. Anyone who can handle weapons is fighting hard even with wooden sticks and pitchforks. The resident is infested with blood. The corpses of orcs and mercenaries can be seen everywhere. The mercenaries drove the orcs out several times and were attacked several times. The cruel tug-of-war from night to dawn finally repelled the goblins, kobolds, and jackals, and filled the gaps in the fence with obstacles.

Both sides were killed, wounded and exhausted. Seeing that the attack failed, the Jackal leader led half of the orcs to the north.

The mercenaries in the bear group station soon realized that the jackals were preparing to attack the other small strongholds. Those sentry camps were empty, with as many as a hundred people and as few as dozens of them, and they couldn't stop the jackals at all. Offense. However, the mercenaries in the resident are no longer able to fight, and more than half of the monsters outside the fence are facing them glare like a tiger watching his prey. Everyone can only send out the letter crows to notify the bear group mercenaries in each stronghold that there are orcs attacked, and urge the Dodo commander of the pioneering point in the rear to send cavalry to support.

The mercenaries can't beat the jackals on the grassland with their legs, and they can't hold their strongholds either. How many mercenaries can reunite with their families alive depends on the speed and direction of the Dodo cavalry reinforcements. The only thing everyone can do is to pray to the Lord of Radiance.

Except Octavir...

She tied the banner of the bear group to Lance, and had a long sword on her waist. She picked up the shield of the dead and ignored her companions. To persuade him, he surpassed the barrier at the gap of the fence, rushed to the open space beyond the range of the bow and arrow, and faced the black and overwhelming orc alone.

No one dared to chase Octaville back, and no one understood what she was going to do. The only explanation was that the young and beautiful mercenaries were stimulated and deliberately sought death. Such things are not uncommon among young mercenaries.

Everyone numbly watched her use a shield to resist the goblin's slingshots, and use the lance wrapped in the bear group to assassinate the jackals and bear goblins who approached her. She is like a light deer, dancing among the sharp claws of the jackals; she is like a vigorous female leopard, killing every monster with a weak spot fiercely; she is like a cunning wolf before being surrounded by monsters, He rushed back to the garrison and was unharmed.

The bear group mercenary used a bow and crossbow to catch Octavil who was regaining consciousness. Some congratulated, some were indifferent, some ridiculed, some praised, but she responded to everything with her raised chin and her lips tightly pressed. Voice, after a short rest, once again holding the mercenary flag embroidered with bear heads, rushed out of the garrison defensive circle.

Then the third, fourth, fifth...

Barritt will never forget, that lonely and slender figure, proudly held high by blood dyed in the morning light Red broken banner. She is a rays of light on the battlefield, dispelling the fear and weakness of the mercenaries deep in one's heart.

Octavil attacked for the sixth time, and the warrior of the mercenary group of fire lions accompanied her; for the seventh time, the deputy head of the bear group "Spurs" Bikdon led his men to follow her left and right. ; For the eighth attack, knight-errant blind Swordsman Quaker, and the bear regiment’s deputy commander "Blood Eagle" Haring joined her; for the ninth attack, the old commander Barrett will be the most elite crow pro The guard handed it to Octaville, and she took over the command of the bear regiment's resident in a burst of cheers.

Great leaders can always inspire the courage of followers and show them the direction of victory.

Octavil proves this. The bear group mercenaries were united for the first time under her leadership. After paying the price of blood, they gradually became united and moved forward and retreated freely.

She is always able to accurately predict the battlefield situation, obtain the greatest results at the least cost, and direct the bear group mercenaries to attack, retreat, and rest alternately. The head of the jackal who had gone away was attracted back by the battle outside the garrison, but this was of no avail. The stupid orc was still beaten by the nose with Octavier's simplest tactics.

Relying on the fortifications of the garrison, Octavir commanded the bear group mercenary and orc monster to entangle for four days and three nights, and the mercenary companions stationed at the outposts along the way survived.

On the morning of the fifth day, the fierce horns of the Dodo cavalry resounded through the battlefield, and the Iron Wall Knight regiment wiped out the forest wolves that had besieged the bear regiment.

The Five Day War was over, and the bear group mercenaries used countless hands to lift their Martial Goddess Octavier and the dark red bear group flag into the air.

Octavil, young female knight-errant, deputy head of the bear group, Martial Goddess of the bear group.

The scar on her face was left by the leader of the Jackal, but the violent and cunning beast paid the price of his life. More than a dozen black crows rushed to it desperately. Ktavel's lance battle flag pierced its heart.

The resident priest was willing to ask a high-ranking priest to remove the scars on her face, but Octaville refused. She said it was a glorious testimony. She looked in the mirror every day and remembered those sacrificed companions. .

The nobles pay attention to appearance. Octavir is a junior trainee Knight who awakens by refining potions. She originally had the opportunity to marry a little nobleman by virtue of her military exploits. Because of the scar on her face, her chance was Very small.

The Randal Family also values ​​Knight's bloodline and strength, but also value the talents of the people. Barritt felt that if he could bring Octavil back to Flatlake Town, even if most of the bear group mercenaries were unwilling to follow him, then he would have made money.

The old regimental leader was fiery in his heart, but his expression was extremely serious, said solemnly: "Octavil, there are rumors within the bear regiment that the Five-Day War may be Dodian's conspiracy...I think it is."
