Magus Tech Chapter 91: Medieval mercenaries

After Li Cha entered the hotel, he looked around and saw many town residents, passers-by, and of course the mercenary squad that could hardly not be noticed, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

In the Middle Ages, there were indeed mercenary squads or mercenary regiments. They were relatively early mercenaries, and they were favored by many small countries or nobles. After all, some small countries may only have a few cities, and some small nobles may only have a castle, a town, and a few villages. They cannot maintain an army at ordinary times, so when they need an army, they can only spend a certain amount. money to hire mercenaries.

Generally speaking, mercenaries perform a variety of tasks, some of which are more difficult, such as protecting the safety of a city, or participating in a battle until they win. Some are ridiculous, such as protecting a nobleman's lover all the time, or hunting a special beast in the forest, etc.

To put it simply, mercenaries are a relatively high-risk occupation in the current medieval world. What they sell are their combat skills and life safety in exchange for a lot of money.

Therefore, there are all kinds of people mixed in among the mercenaries, men, women, old people, children, good people, bad people, and more people whose interests are paramount.

Therefore, medieval mercenaries valued integrity very much.

If you take the money, you will definitely do something, and if the employer asks you to cut it, you will definitely cut it. If on the battlefield, the enemy of the employer can pay double the price of remuneration, then absolute neutrality can be guaranteed. If the employer's enemies could offer triple the pay, they would get cold feet.

The price is clearly marked, and there is no deception.

Of course, there are also some heterogeneous ones. For example, on modern Earth, the Swiss mercenaries developed at the end of the Middle Ages are known for their discipline, bravery and loyalty.

During the three Burgundian wars, Swiss mercenaries repeatedly defeated Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, and directly killed Charles the Bold in the last time. During the Siege of Rome, Carlos I, then King of Spain and Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, led an army of 30,000 to surround Rome, intending to capture the Pope. The Swiss mercenaries evacuated to cover the pope, and 147 of the 189 people were killed, and the mission was finally completed. Since then, on modern Earth, the Swiss Guard has been the protective force and ceremonial symbol of the Vatican, the Papal State.

After glancing at the mercenary squad consisting of one woman and three men, Li Cha did not dare to jump to conclusions. Whether the other party is an honest mercenary or a different kind of mercenary, after all, everything is a matter of probability before witnessing the other party's behavior. But this has nothing to do with him, he is just planning to stay here for one night, and then wait until tomorrow to go to the royal capital of Emerald City to meet Gero.

Li Cha stepped towards the counter, asked for an empty room, and asked for the food to be delivered to the room. Without any fuss, he turned around and took Pandora up the stairs.

……

Denise watched Li Cha lead the little maid-like Pandora up the stairs, her eyes flickered, and then she felt someone's fingers gently poking her body.

Turning his head to look aside, he saw Cole looking over.

"What?" Denise asked.

"Hehe." Cole smiled at Denise, and asked in a low voice, "How is it, Denise, do you like the noble boy who didn't even have full hair just now?"

"Heh." Denise didn't deny it, and squinted, "So what? It's young and cute, but it suits my taste."

"That's the best." Cole said, "Our goals are the same, but the difference is that what you see is people, but what I see is money. How about a cooperation? "

Denise narrowed her eyes, stared at Cole for a long time and said, "How do I know what you're telling the truth? What if you're just using me? I remember this kind of thing happened before, right? , By the way, it was three months ago, I helped you lure the target away, you went to the other party's room to get the luggage, and then slipped away. Let me be pestered by that disgusting fat businessman all night."

"Heh." Cole said without embarrassment, with a half-smile, "Don't talk about each other. Half a year ago, after I helped you hook up with that young heir to the baron, you also You didn’t help me get out his wallet. As a result, you spent a long time trying to flatter him, but the other party didn’t like you, and you wasted the opportunity to make a fortune.”

Denise raised her eyebrows slightly, showing a bit of sullenness.

Cole quickly waved his hand: "Stop, stop! When it comes to business, just say whether you want to do it or not? The plan is this, you go use your... well, charm to seduce that noble boy, and go wherever you want. If you have the ability, you'd better lure that noble boy to the bed in your room, and make him swear to marry you. Didn't you always have this purpose. As for me, I will take the opportunity to go to his room and read His luggage."

"Hmph, don't forget, he also has a little maid." Denise said.

"Heh, what can I do with a little girl who is not as tall as my chest? I fooled her in a few words. If it's really impossible, just tie her up, gag her mouth, and throw it in a corner, can she still go against the sky?" Cole disdained the way.

"Then you have to put on your mask. The noble boy and the little maid have seen us together just now. Although I'm not sure if I remember it, but in case the little maid recognizes you, then tell the nobleman Boy, the plan is all over. Of course, you can kill people, kill that little maid, but...you know, I don't like killing people."

"Okay, okay, it's really troublesome, but listen to you, I'll go with a mask." Cole said impatiently ~IndoMTL.com~ Then he thought of something and asked aloud, "In this case, Then you agree to the plan?"

"I agree, of course I agree." Denise said, with the corners of her mouth curled up, "Why don't you agree? It's not easy to meet a nobleman, especially one who is alone. If you have a chance, I can't let it go."

"However, don't worry, is this nobleman a fake nobleman? There are quite a few people pretending to be noblemen now, and he only brought a little maid with him, which is very suspicious."

"If that's the case, then I'll take good care of him!" Denise's voice was a little cold, and then she turned her eyes, "But if it's a real noble, even the youngest lord Heir, I will definitely let him enjoy it, let him really appreciate the beauty of being a man instead of a boy, and make him absolutely reluctant to leave me."

Seeing Denise's appearance, Cole couldn't help but licked his lips, feeling his throat was a little dry, but then he calmed down. In his opinion, money is much more important than women. If you have money, what kind of women can't be found? The reason why Denise wants to catch every noble without any choice is because of money in the final analysis? If he had money, he could find a way to buy a knighthood, and Denise might take the initiative to climb into his bed. Well, of course, that would cost a lot of money.

At this time, the captain of the mercenary team, Muke, made a sound, as if he was full, he knocked on the table and said: "I went back to my room to sleep, don't sleep too late, we have to catch up early tomorrow morning Go to the capital, don't delay."

"Um, yes." The others replied.

After Muck went upstairs, the strong man glanced at Denise after eating and drinking, and also went upstairs with some reluctance. Cole and Denise discussed for a long time and decided on some details before finally going upstairs.
