Chapter 204: The Little Man's Revolt

Coming out of the room, Barney lowered his head, his fists clenched hard, staring at the scroll in his hand——— something he had managed to get his hands on. (《》)

"It's over?"

Seeing the young swordsman come out, the half-elf girl who had been waiting outside immediately stepped forward and asked, while Barney nodded at her with an excited and determined expression. This made the half-elf girl also show a soft and relaxed smile.

"I didn't expect that we would succeed."

"yes......"

Hearing the half-elf girl's words, Barney nodded, and he looked at the scroll in his hand, as if he didn't believe it was all true. Although he had been waiting for this day for a long time, until now, he still felt as if it was a dream.

"We really succeeded......... From now on, the Emerald Tears belong to us! ”

Thinking of this, Barney couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement. This day is too long for them.

After the disappearance of the previous head of the regiment, Frank, the Emerald Tears have actually fallen into a state of utter chaos. Those mercenaries who stayed behind didn't know what to do in the face of such an unexpected situation. They were a rabble that had been abandoned by other mercenary groups, and even Frank refused to give them enough trust (of course, this is the main reason why they were still alive to see the sun), which shows the extent of the waste of these mercenaries. Losing the only person who could restrain them, those mercenaries naturally began to mess around, and they even applied to the mercenary association for disbandment and reorganization, trying to obtain their own last bit of profit. The Mercenary Guild also agreed to their request, and if Frank refused to show up, then they would disband the Emerald Tears Mercenary Regiment.

But not everyone has given up.

Barney is one of them, although his status in Frank's heart is very low because of the previous conflict with Rod, but as a talented swordsman, his strength is still very strong. Unlike those mercenaries who eat and wait for death, Barney came to Emerald Tears because he really wanted to make a career, and he was very dissatisfied with Shanna's disbandment of the mercenary group and defection to Rhodes. In Barney's opinion, they didn't have to do it at all, they could have persevered and regained their lives. And not relying on a cunning, arrogant guy.

Therefore, even in the face of the current situation of Emerald Tears, Barney still did not choose to give up, and he even relied on his reputation among mercenaries to gather those mercenaries who were originally in chaos to boost their fighting spirit and spirit. 《》

"You left with ridicule to live better than those who mocked you, and if you give up now, you will be their laughing stock forever!"

Under Barney's instigation, many people were moved, indeed, the reason why they were willing to be insulted and ridiculed by their companions and even scolded to leave their mercenary group, what did they come here for? Isn't it just to earn more than them and live better than them? But now? If the Emerald Tears were indeed disbanded, then they would be the most ordinary mercenaries, they would not even be as good as their companions, at least they were still members of the mercenary group, and they had become vagrants.

One can imagine how they will be mocked and ridiculed when they meet their former companions in the future.

And, although Barney's previous behavior seemed too reckless to Frank, he sent him into the cold. But in the eyes of those mercenaries, he was a heroic figure. Because Rhodes has blatantly ridiculed Emerald Tears as a garbage treatment plant on many occasions, and even looks down on these wastes. Coupled with the fact that he even relied on his noble status to kill his own companions without any punishment, this made the members of the Emerald Tears not have the slightest affection for him. And among these people, Barney, who dared to stand up against Rhodes, and even lost an ear at the least, naturally became a hero in the minds of the mercenaries. In their eyes, Rhodes represents those nobles who are high up and do not care about their life or death, arrogant, arrogant, evil, proud, and careless of human life. Barney, on the other hand, represents heroes who dare to stand up to power, who are not afraid, who do not give in. Coupled with the fact that he is willing to voluntarily stand up and wave the flag of the mercenary group again, this also makes those mercenaries trust him a little more. ..., as for the question that Barney is still very young and not suitable to be the head of the mercenary group, it is not unprecedented, but more often than not, it is dismissed. Young? The little nobleman of the Starlight Mercenary Group is also very young, he can lead an inadequate mercenary group to the point where he is now, what can we do? What about being young? Maybe our Barney will one day become even more powerful than that little nobleman, and our Emerald Tears will become one of the most powerful mercenaries in the Pafield region. Since that little white-faced nobleman can do it, then so can we!

At the beginning, it didn't go well, as the saying goes, if you say it, you will spill the water, and of course the Mercenary Association can't let the Jade Tears withdraw the dissolution application so easily. In fact, the association actually hopes that the Emerald Tears will be disbanded, because many things have been caused by them before, and now the Emerald Tears can almost be regarded as a public enemy of the whole people, and it is obviously not conducive to "stability and unity" to continue to keep this mercenary group. So in their hearts, they really want to disband this mercenary group to give themselves a stable life.

However, Barney's attitude was very resolute, and in the end, the Mercenary Association was only able to back down half a step and temporarily terminate the dissolution process. But they are not unconditional, that is, if Fei Fei Tears wants to continue to exist, they must prove their existence value with performance. Therefore, they must complete at least two missions above level 2 in the next month, and at the same time, they must also ensure that they do not conflict with other mercenary groups, and if something like Starlight happens again, then they will no longer hesitate to disband Emerald Tears immediately.

Of course, this made Barney very unhappy, after all, the last conflict was the first to be done by the other party, even if there was a bit of a quarrel on his side, but Rhodes killed someone, obviously his side suffered a loss, but the mercenary association actually defended the other party.........

These nobles really didn't have a good thing.

But it's not just bad, after this, Barney also gets the help of someone he never thought of——— which is really a surprise for him.

Now, everything is on track.

Looking at the scroll in his hand, Barney gritted his teeth, and just as he was lost in thought, a very familiar voice suddenly came from the front.

"Miss Marlene, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Barney and the half-elf girl were stunned, they immediately turned their heads to look, and soon, the two of them saw Rhodes standing not far from them. At this moment, he was whispering something to the girl in the robe next to him, and at the same time raised his head from time to time and looked in the direction of the bulletin board.

"It's him, Barney."

The half-elf girl lowered her voice and spoke with some fear, reaching out to pull Labani's clothes at the same time. After that battle, the half-elf girl no longer had the pride she had before, she had never been so close to death, Rhodes was so powerful, so powerful that a single stretch of her hand was enough to pinch her neck, and she was like a chick, without the slightest resistance. The fear caused by this huge gap in strength made the half-elf girl feel a little scared just looking at Rod's back at the moment. She reached out and tugged at the corner of Rabbani's clothes, lest Rhodes notice that they were coming to trouble the two of them again, and in her opinion, Rhodes would definitely do such a thing.

However, Barney did not leave as the half-elf girl thought, and instead, he made a quiet gesture, and then quietly eavesdropped on the two of them. Soon, Rhodes turned to leave, and it wasn't until their figures disappeared into the crowd that the half-elf girl spoke nervously.

"Barney, let's go, don't ......... here"..., "Did you hear them?" ”。

In the face of the half-elf girl's words, Barney opened his mouth and asked rhetorically. Hearing his inquiry, the half-elf girl was a little puzzled, but she nodded anyway.

"Well, I heard ......"

The half-elf was already a keen hearing, and Rod and Marlene didn't deliberately lower their voices when they discussed, so the half-elf girl naturally heard the conversation between them, but she didn't understand why Barney was asking herself this question at this time.

“……… I think we can take on this task. ”

"Huh?"

Hearing this, the half-elf girl was stunned, and then she cried out in surprise.

"Barney, what are you talking about, are you crazy?".

"I'm not crazy!"

Barney shook his hand sharply, interrupting the half-elf girl's words.

"I think it's a good opportunity, you know? Now that we need to make a comeback in Emerald Tears, we must give those people confidence and let them know that our strength is not bad. And if we can get this quest before Starlight does, and complete it, then it will be beneficial to us! You know how much those mercenaries hate this damn guy and the mercenary group he leads, and now that they nominally admit that I'm the new leader, if I can't do something to make them appreciate this, then the Emerald Tears will be finished! ”

"But we can choose some other tasks."

The half-elf girl shook her head, seemingly disapproving of Barney's words.

"The most important thing right now is to rebuild, not to be angry, Barney. Have you forgotten about Captain Frank? What if that terrible nobleman does the same to us as he did to them? Barney, you don't need to do this, we'll finish the Mercenary Guild's explanation first, and then slowly settle the other things. Besides, since it's Starlight's mission, it's a question of whether we can complete it........."

"Don't worry, you and I both heard him talk just now, and it's obvious that he needs a lot of fire-based scrolls to get to the Blackstone Abyss. That's why it's going to be useful there, and I think our new supporters will definitely give us enough money to buy these things. Don't forget, the reason why that supporter chose us, if we can make a difference for the other party, then that person will definitely make our mercenary group stronger. And, think about it, wouldn't it be a great encouragement for them if I announced to them that we had snatched a mission with Starlight and then completed it? ”。

“……………… That's true, but ............"

Hearing Barney's words, the half-elf girl bit her lip, she didn't understand what Barney meant, and as the person next to Barney, the half-elf girl also knew very well why the Emerald Tears would have new supporters to continue to provide them with financial help, but she was still afraid. As soon as she thought of Rod, the half-elf girl couldn't help but tremble all over, she didn't dare to approach at all, and she didn't dare to provoke the other party. Barney's idea is good, but is he really not worried that the other party will secretly retaliate?

"I'm still worried about ............"

"Fear is normal, but we still have to have the courage to face it."

Barney looked at the girl and spoke, reaching out and touching his ear.

"I'm scared, too, but I'm not going to run away. I know what you're worried about, don't worry, I have my own ideas. I'm not going to put you in danger in vain. And this task is not difficult, it's just a three-star task, and our Jade Tears are a bit small now, but it's enough to complete the three-star task. ”

“…………………”

The half-elf girl didn't answer immediately this time, she was silent for a moment, and then spoke.

"I still don't know if I should agree to your adventure, Barney. Well, let's go and see now, and if they've already taken the task, then we'll give up. If they don't take the task, then how about we do it again? ”

"No problem!"

Hearing this, Barney smiled excitedly, and then he reached out, took the girl's hand, and walked into the crowd. Soon, he saw Rod and Marlene standing in front of Old Hank.

"When did this commission come about? Have any other mercenary groups taken on this task? ”

"This is a mission......... Hmmm..............."

Hearing Rod's inquiry, Old Hank frowned and recalled.

"I remember that it was just a few days ago, and the church sent the commission just before, and no one has taken it yet."

Now is the time!

Hearing this, Barney's heart moved, and then he immediately stepped forward half a step, ignoring the half-elf girl pulling him, and slapped one hand on the table.

"Uncle Hank, I've taken this task." ……，
