The country of the Taranta Plains, also known as the land of mercenaries. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This is a completely free and loose mercenary country, with hundreds of large and small mercenary groups. Even medium-sized mercenary groups with more than 1,000 people have more than a dozen, and there are even more small mercenary groups with less than 100 people.

However, in this vast land, there are three large mercenary groups with more than 10,000 members.

Tigers, Crimson Banners and Ainodia.

Each of these three large mercenary groups occupies a core city and covers the surrounding huge territory. In the three core cities, the three mercenary groups take over all the business inside, and formulate their own unique rules and ruling order, and manage the city in the mode of managing mercenaries.

As for other large and small mercenary groups, they can only crowd into the remaining dozen cities, maintaining the operation of the city in the way of mercenary co-governance. It can be said that the three major mercenary groups are the model for all the remaining mercenary groups.

There is fierce competition and infighting going on in each mercenary city, and each mercenary group fantasizes about being able to squeeze out all competitors like the three mercenary groups, monopolize a city by itself, and then make its own laws.

Therefore, in the Taranta Mercenary Country, a city is a country, and each region has its own unique laws and regulations. Walking and doing business here, it's easy to fall into the trade traps laid by the locals without a familiar guide.

However, trade here not only does not have those excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes, but also avoids the ubiquitous faith testing of religious forces, so it is still the first choice for major business groups to conduct cross-border trade. The slave trade, the shady stolen goods, contraband, and the black market trade, which are prohibited in many countries, are often unimpeded here.

Mullanch, a large city on the Seine Plain closest to the trade routes, is also the headquarters of the large mercenary group of the Crimson Battle Banner. Although there are more than a dozen affiliated mercenary groups in the city, everyone knows that there is only one force here that can talk about things, and that is the Crimson Battle Banner.

As one of the three major mercenary groups in the Tarata Mercenary Country, there are as many as 4 legendary powerhouses on the face of the crimson battle flag.

The head of the regiment, Nina, a magic swordsman, a legendary rank, is a lightning fast sword that shocks the crowd, and her origin is unknown.

The deputy head of the group, Pisso, is a Ph.D. (advanced class of scholars), and the rank of legend, and is said to be a high-ranking member of the Esoteric Society (a loose organization of scholars).

Advisor mage Filizat, Spirit Pact, Legendary Tier, with Legendary Pact, with strange and changeable attack methods.

Spy boss Valentine, Twilight Blade (advanced Assassin class), Legendary, ominous attack methods, unknown origin.

Due to the strong and high-pressure policies of the Three Kingdoms of Mages and the Four Kingdoms of Religion, most of the warriors were forced to stay together and become free mercenaries in Taranta. It is precisely because of the existence of such a large group of warriors that the Taranta Mercenary Nation is able to stand tall on the vast plains in a deformed way of survival.

Basically, in order to maintain a strong deterrent, the three major mercenary groups spend a lot of money to hire legendary-level spellcasters. In order to win over these powerful spellcasters, the mercenary group even built them a towering majestic magic tower.

The Magic Tower, a magical structure that may not be too unusual in the Mage's Guild, is a real killer in a group of warriors, assassins, barbarians, and bards. A magic tower presided over by a legendary spellcaster can easily torture a team of melee Legendary fighters.

Therefore, the three mercenary groups have all established magic towers in their core cities and supported a legendary-level spellcaster, which has established the unshakable dominance of the three mercenary groups.

However, the cost of supporting a Legendary caster is too high, and the cost of maintaining the Magic Tower is enough to bankrupt most medium-sized mercenary groups, so they cannot afford to support more Legendary Spellcasters. Otherwise, if you recruit three or four legendary mages in one go, you won't be able to dominate the mercenary world!

It's not that they don't want to, it's that they really can't do it.

As the most difficult class to advance, the caster can reach the legendary level, and it has experienced a cruel natural elimination. Most of them are no longer interested in the power and wealth of the world, and the only thing that can impress them is the precious knowledge they have never seen before and the rare resources that help them in their magical experiments.

If you want to recruit a legendary mage, you must at least build him a magic tower that matches his identity, and this alone can kill everyone's delusions. Therefore, even if the soldiers of the three major mercenary groups are strong and strong, and they are making money every day, they can only barely support a legendary spellcaster.

One more is delusional!

So when Li Xun rode into Mullanch in a rickety and dilapidated carriage, the first thing he saw was the towering magic tower in the middle of the city.

According to the custom, when entering the city gate, the city tax was paid according to the capitation, and Li Xun was able to enter the city with a swagger.

The dilapidated carriage drove slowly along the wide bluestone avenues of Mulanch. The whole street is full of traffic, crowded with people, and all kinds of shouts and shouts for buying and selling are also coming and going. Although it was a bit chaotic, it was also very lively.

The shops on the street are even more dazzling, with a wide variety of goods all over the storefront, and the flow of people in and out of it, in an endless stream. There were many businessmen in a hurry, but there were even more adventurers and mercenaries who talked with swords and swords. Guys like them must be classified as dangerous elements in other countries, and are strictly monitored by city law enforcers, but here, they are free and loose as if they were in their own homes.

Although fighting and killing are forbidden here, stealing is not prohibited, so there are really a lot of thieves in the crowd. It's a haven for thieves and wanderers, and after a year and a half, you'll be able to easily sharpen your theft skills to the fullest.

Li Xun was still looking around with interest by opening the curtain on the side of the carriage, and Maggie, who was dressed as a coachman, had already reminded in a low voice: "Master, we are almost to the Blood Rose Mercenary Group!" ”

Li Xun collected his attention, and then noticed that as the dilapidated carriage turned left and right in the city of Mulanhe, it was getting farther and farther away from the main street in the center. The road ahead is getting narrower, the shops are starting to sparse, and the houses along the way have a dilapidated and dilapidated feel.

At intervals, one can glimpse a large area of tall, sturdy stone huts that look like large warehouses, guarded by groups of heavily armed mercenaries at the door. And the equipment of these mercenaries is undoubtedly many times better than those wandering mercenaries, not only with neat standard leather armor and weapons, but also with a unified badge.

However, Li Xun has never been in Mulanhe, and he is no stranger to these rare beast-like beast heads. Therefore, along the way, it was interesting to listen to Maggie explain the mercenary groups to which these badges belonged, as well as the interesting stories behind each mercenary group.

As you can see, the whole of Moulanch is a large loose bazaar. With the exception of a few main streets that were in the hands of the Crimson Battle Banner mercenary groups, the rest of the street residential areas were outsourced to different mercenary groups for them to use as headquarters or storage warehouses. If you want to build commercial facilities such as taverns, inns, casinos, and auction houses, you can do it, but you will need to pay a lot of money to the crimson battle flag.

Therefore, along the way, every block is a barracks belonging to different mercenary groups, and the fully armored mercenaries in and out are also very lively. However, this kind of freedom and looseness is only for their own people, and once an outsider enters their defense zone, they will also be subject to strict interrogation and interrogation.

Maybe it was the towering magic tower that gave the crimson battle banner its unparalleled confidence, or maybe it was the four legendary powerhouses that were enough to suppress all the foreign thorns, which made them arrogantly allow each mercenary group to have their own independent armed forces in the city.

This should be placed in a country with strict laws and regulations, and I am afraid that when they enter the city, they will have already collected all their weapons, and how can they be allowed to carry swords and swords on their backs, and form a system of their own.

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped at the gate of the Blood Rose Mercenary Regiment's station.

Li Xun got out of the car and looked around, and couldn't help nodding secretly, it seems that his group of subordinates still know how to keep secrets!

What stood in front of Li Xun was not a common wooden building, nor a delicate and ornate aristocratic mansion, but a huge square fortress. The massive stone main building, with a wide and high wall beneath it, and a dry moat beneath it, with numerous horseback horses and pointed fences inserted inside, no one should think of passing through such a defense at any cost.

Seriously, it's still a large, sturdy and fireproof warehouse. It's just that compared to the warehouses I've seen along the way, it's closer to a barracks and fort for military purposes.

Passing through the heavily guarded patrol, we entered the building, where we weaved for a long time between the huge wooden boxes and containers, which were piled up in a mess. Maggie, who led the way, pulled some mechanism on a pile of large wooden boxes in the center of the warehouse, and the wooden boxes that had just been pushed and held down were flipped downward, revealing a dark hole that was gradually sloping, and the bluestone steps were faintly visible.

It took about half a mile to get back out of the ground. In a gloomy secret room, three guys dressed in aristocratic costumes have been waiting here for a long time.

"I've seen the master!" Seeing Li Xun appear, the three noble blood warlocks knelt down on one knee at the same time.

These are the eyes, ears and sentinels that the Bloodfiend has planted in Mullanhe.

As a large cemetery, it has long adhered to Li Xun's will and regarded the Klein plane as the main plane in which he has taken root, so he is also trying to control the basic development trend of the major countries. In order to make it easier to obtain internal intelligence from various countries, the cemetery is also working hard to install bases and intelligence personnel in various countries.

The Shadow Slayer may be qualified as an assassin as an undercover agent, but if they want to establish a stronghold and office on the surface, their overly undead bodies cannot be concealed.

Therefore, this task was contracted by the Bloodseeker.
