Chapter 112.1: Wild Dogs Hunting For Food (4)

The highest achievement for mercenaries was to receive a fiefdom and become nobility.

Most mercenaries never reached this point, dying of old age or in battle. Even receiving a small town was considered a significant success.

Nobles who owned fiefdoms preferred to employ mercenaries with silver and gold, rather than giving away land.

However, the situation was a bit different with the order.

The order had the power to grant fiefdoms to mercenaries. This was more feasible because they were not giving away their own lands.

The order had the power to strip other nobles of their fiefdoms and legitimately give mercenaries the justification and rights to take over those lands!

The order had done similar things several times before. They would call mercenaries to support an attack on the orders enemies and then settle them on that land.

It was natural to feel envious seeing those who were once mercenaries sitting arrogantly dressed as nobles.

. . . , ?

?

It seems they dont know the exact purpose.

Johan muttered. This summoning was not about subduing one or two minor noble families. It was about fighting against all the Emperors nobles in the southern peninsula.

The mercenaries were thinking of titles like lord or baron, but considering the scale of this mission, it wouldnt be surprising if a count title was offered.

Eh, what? Is there some other purpose?

Ill tell you if its confirmed. Its just a guess for now.

Achladda showed no dissatisfaction at Johans words.

The ruler of the steppe had to be cunning and know how to hide their intentions. Even if Johan was being vague, it was just another sign of his qualifications.

So, Achladda, how did you deal with such discontented people?

How did I deal with them? Ignored the insignificant ones and crushed those who got arrogant in front of me.

I should do the same then. Ill keep that in mind.

Oh. Are you leaving now?

If someone were to ask Gurelic, ? Gurelic would honestly have to answer .

What if the order had made a similar assessment?

.

Sir Johan!

?

Johan, who was teaching Euclyia how to play Go, turned his head at the sound from outside. Euclyia sneakily hid a Go piece.

Anyway, I remember it all. Whats the matter, sir?

I came to join you in this endeavor! Please accept my sword!

. . .Oh?

Johan looked at Gurelic as if he were a curiosity. He had expected one of the mercenary captains to pick a fight first, not come to swear allegiance.

Really? For what reason?

From what I see, you are bound to take on an important role in this gathering. Rather than competing fruitlessly, I want to follow your lead and earn a greater reward.

Euclyia muttered something in the Eastern tongue beside him, roughly praising Gurelics wisdom.

Did you see that much value in it?

Youve already shown your worth in the city of Umdim.

At that time, it was you and your men who excelled. . . Anyway, good! Ill accept.

Johan cheerfully agreed. It was convenient for the mercenaries to kneel and come on their own, especially someone experienced like Gurelic.

Wont the other mercenary captains be angry if they find out?

Actually, Im already on my way here, skipping the gathering. Let them be as angry as they want. Hmph. Do you think I care about such things?

Having already chosen his side, Gurelic did not hesitate. And one couldnt afford to worry about relations between mercenary groups in this line of work.

The most important thing was his own benefit, wasnt it?
