Chapter 814: Chapter 528: Mr. Lane and the rcenaries_1
“Oh? What does Mr. Lane have to instruct?”
Setting down the sizzling, oil-dripping roasted Frost Lamb Leg in his hand, Old Walter had a thought, and his originally greasy lips and white beard were shrouded in water vapor, becoming clean as before.
As a Tier 4 eight-Star Great Mage who had already mastered water magic, it was easy for him to clean himself.
The other two elderly mages beside him also put down their food and picked up the white magical napkins on the side to wipe their hands back and forth.
It’s worth noting that only nobles can afford these magical napkins.
Although they seed no different from ordinary napkins, they were imbued with cleaning spells capable of completely wiping off oil and grease from their hands and mouths, which is quite magical.
At the sa ti, Leo Ray noticed.
Judging from the satisfied expressions of the three elderly mages, they were very satisfied with these exotic delicacies.
“Actually, Master Walter, in addition to wanting to see the Dragon Tooth rcenary Corps’ style this ti, Princess has a small commission she hopes Master Walter won’t refuse.”
With a slight nod, Leo Ray waved to Gael beside him to have the musicians, dancers, and other bystanders in the banquet hall temporarily leave, and then he smiled.
“Oh? Having the Princess’s commission is an honor for our Dragon Tooth rcenary Corps.”
Upon hearing this, no ripples appeared on Old Walter’s wrinkled face, and he replied with a light smile.

On this matter, the old mage had already anticipated it.
Although this Mr. Lane was treating them very properly, it was obviously not just about eating and drinking for the Princess’s inviting them, these rcenaries.
Imdiately after, a puzzled expression appeared on Old Walter’s wrinkled face.
At present, the Princess is surrounded by nurous powerful warriors. Besides the fearso Tier 5 Powerhouse and two Kingdom Generals, there are two Tier 4 Powerhouses and one mysterious big stomach female warrior with unknown strength.
Moreover, the Princess herself had already reached the Tier 4 Level, and her strength was undoubtedly terrifying.
Why would they need to hire rcenaries like them who take people’s money to help eliminate disasters with such a formidable team?
Straightaway, as if he realized sothing, Old Walter stroked his white beard and added with a smile, “However, the first rule of our Dragon Tooth rcenary Corps is that we never get involved in power struggles among the privileged. Please forgive , Mr. Lane.”
After speaking, Old Walter’s heart raced a bit.
As he had just thought, if they offend the royal family mber and the unknowable young man in front of them, they might not be able to eat their way out.
Thinking about it, Old Walter’s smile beca sowhat unnatural.
“Master Walter is overthinking it. The Princess and I won’t force others to do things.”
Seeing right through the old mage’s thoughts, Leo Ray continued with his faint smile, “This ti the mission is not related to power struggles but a simple guarding task.”
“I see. Guarding tasks are what we rcenaries are best at.”
Upon hearing this, Old Walter secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his face full of spring breeze, “What’s the specific task?”
“Garrison the Mountain Fortress.”
With a slight raise of his eyebrow, Leo Ray swayed the goblet in his hand and spoke candidly.
“A war mission?!”
After hearing Leo Ray’s simple words, not only Old Walter but also the other two old mages and the other rcenaries all showed shocked expressions.
It’s important to know that, apart from power struggles, war missions are the ones with the highest mortality rate for rcenaries – none higher!
Moreover, the situation of the border area’s Mountain Fortress is already critical!
“Mr. Lane, you are putting us in a difficult position.”
After a while, the wrinkle-faced Old Magician Walter squeezed out an ugly smile, “To be frank, I already have so understanding of the current situation in the Mountain Fortress.”
After weighing his words, Old Walter continued, “At this stage, under the relentless pressure of the eight legions of the invading Saint Night Army, our Coldfla Mountain Fortress, along with two other small fortresses, has thirty thousand brave soldiers who have not retreated, yet they are now in a precarious situation.”
“In this extrely unfavorable situation, even if we, the Dragon Tooth rcenary Corps, accept Princess’s commission, we are incapable of changing the overall situation!”
“Indeed, indeed, on the surface, the forces of both sides are three to eight, but if we calculate the combat power ratio, it would be at least three to twelve. In this situation, even if we join, it would be like a drop in the ocean!”
Dressed in a red magical robe, Master Phil also furrowed his white eyebrows and echoed.
Hearing this, the other rcenary powerhouses also nodded their heads in agreent.
It’s important to know that the battlefield is a deadly place, unlike singled out duels and small-scale clashes between powerful warriors.
Even a National Protector Level Tier 5 Powerhouse who can single-handedly take on thousands of enemies with their overwhelming strength will eventually reach a point where their energy is depleted, until they beco powerless.
