Chapter 939: Chapter 591: The Loyalty of Five rcenaries_1
“Oh?”
Hearing this, a curious expression appeared on Leo Ray’s face.
“My Lord, the family of the current City Lord of Greyrock City occupied my family’s territory more than 200 years ago. Therefore, in addition to their original territory, they now have two neighboring cities within their sphere of influence.”
Layne shook his head unwillingly and explained.
“That’s quite similar to Iron Fort.”
Leo Ray nodded slightly, signaling for Layne to continue.
“My Lord, the City Lord of Greyrock City plans to give away the other city’s lordship to one of his sons, but he is hesitant and can’t decide which one.”
Layne nodded in agreent, continuing, “This has caused his children to stir in the shadows.”
“Another power struggle?”
Gazing at the sparkling lake beside them, Leo Ray slightly nodded.
“Yes, My Lord, exactly.”
Following Leo Ray’s gaze, Layne looked at the lake, which was like a mirror, and continued, “Recently, including Cliff, the siblings’ overt and covert struggles have escalated to the point of using weapons, and the situation is getting worse.”
“Cliff’s ultimate goal of training a Tier 3 Rock Horned Wolf King is probably to deal with his brothers.”
Pausing for a mont, Layne added, “Moreover, the other powerful mbers of the Broken Blade Knights have gone on missions, leaving only nearby. The mobilization of small knight teams and above requires approval from Greyrock City. It’s pretty obvious what’s going on.”
“When we ca to this forest, we did clear out more than 20 elite Tier 2 guards hidden in the shadows. You couldn’t have done that alone.”
Moving his gaze from the lake, Leo Ray looked at Layne and said, “I understand. Since we have a dog-eat-dog situation here, we are left with only one problem.”
“My Lord, are you talking about those innocent rcenaries?”
Layne hesitated for a mont and then suddenly brightened up.
At this mont, a troubled expression appeared on Layne’s face again.
It was clear that the only variable left was the five rcenaries.
If soone were to leak information, it would undoubtedly affect the Lord’s arrangents.
Therefore, to prevent this from happening, there were only two options.
One was to silence them, and the other was to make them companions.
Thinking of this, Layne hesitated to speak, ultimately remaining silent.
Nevertheless, no matter which option the Lord chose, he would fully obey.
Of course, if they could spare the lives of the five, that would be even better…
“I had originally planned to only recruit you, but since we ran into them, I might as well take them all.”
Looking at Layne’s eager expression, Leo Ray smiled lightly.
Currently, the population of the territory was “1947/2000”.
Thus, adding the five rcenaries would not affect Leo Ray at all.
As for their strength, Leo Ray only needed to present three Qi Condensing Pills for the three Tier 1 Peak Level rcenaries to reach the Tier 2 Level, just like the other two.
“Thank you for your kindness, My Lord!”
Hearing this, Layne’s face lit up, and he repeatedly expressed his gratitude.
“Alright, let’s go back.”
Leo Ray helped Layne up once more and spoke.
They returned to the dense forest from before, after so understanding, Leo Ray learned:
All of their footprints and battlefield traces had been cleaned up, and they had obtained so insignificant spoils of war from two other individuals.
Among the five rcenaries, the one with the most severe injuries was the captain and the frontliner, followed by the ranger, while the female priest and the old magician were almost unhard.
However, even the injuries of the two most severely wounded were no longer life-threatening after being treated by Gideon Black and Joshua, the two Tier 4 powerhouses.
During this process, the five rcenaries were so grateful that they would have prostrated themselves at Leo Ray’s feet if they could.
“My Lord, if you want the two most injured individuals to recover quickly and even walk imdiately, they only need to take one Tier 2 Healing Magic dicine each.”
Upon being asked by Leo Ray, Gideon Black respectfully replied.
Hearing this, the five nearby rcenaries couldn’t help but swallow hard.
To them, the word “magic dicine” was undoubtedly an unreachable term.
Moreover, they had just encountered this young lord by chance. Saving their lives was enough for them to be grateful for the rest of their lives.
How could he so casually give away a magic dicine worth tens of thousands? Even if it were their relatives, they would have to think carefully, right?
“I see, go on then, tell them how to refine it.”
Without the slightest hesitation, Leo Ray nodded, and with a thought, handed two colorful Tier 2 Healing Magic dicines to Gideon Black.
For Leo Ray, who had a large number of magic dicines, this was naturally no problem at all.
“This…?!”
Seeing this, the five rcenaries were stunned, hardly believing their eyes.
This lord had actually, without hesitation, taken out two valuable Miracle dicines worth tens of thousands for them?
