Joint meeting of mercenaries.

Receiving an invitation from the Mercenary Association again, this made many mercenary group leaders tremble in their hearts, knowing that the joint meeting of the mercenaries would not have been held if something particularly important had not happened. The reason for the last time is clear to everyone, but what is the reason for this time? Could it be that something happened again? Or is it that one of us has violated the treaty?

With this in mind, the mercenary leaders did not immediately go to the appointment after receiving the invitation, but quickly sent someone to check their mercenary group up and down again, and after making sure that their mercenary group had indeed committed any heinous crimes, and had not suffered any more losses because of any strange tasks, the mercenary group leaders had half of their original high hearts. Confused, they then gathered again in Deep Rock City for the second joint meeting of mercenaries.

Although they didn't know what was going on in the road, seeing the smiles on the faces of Serek and the elder, the mercenary captains were secretly relieved in their hearts, no matter what, it didn't seem like this time was at least a bad thing. Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible for these two uncles to laugh.

However, while relaxing, the doubts in the hearts of these mercenary leaders became more and more thick——— since it is not a bad thing, then it is a good thing? But what good thing is there in the current Pafield area that deserves to bring everyone together?

"Looks like everyone is here."

The Elder was obviously aware of the doubts in the hearts of the others, but even so, he still didn't choose to go straight to the point. Instead, he glanced at everyone present, and then showed a smile. "Recently, everyone's mercenary group has developed very well, and our mercenary association is also very happy, after going through such a difficult situation before, you have not been defeated...... This is the spirit of our mercenaries, we can fail, but we can't give up. Of course, the Mercenary Association also knows that many mercenary groups are now in the recovery stage, so if there is anything you need help with, you can come to us, as long as it is within our ability, the Mercenary Association will definitely go all out. ”

Hearing the old president's statement, a bunch of people thanked them one after another, but after all, they are not reckless men with only muscles in their heads, this old president showed favor to these mercenary groups as soon as he came up, what kind of calculation is this? Could it be that there is anything about the Mercenary Association that needs the support of these mercenary groups?

However, the mercenary captains didn't have time to think about it anymore, because at this time, the old leader had already uncovered the mystery.

"I think everyone must have doubts about the joint meeting of mercenaries held by the association this time, and in that case, I won't tease the circle......... It must be clear to everyone that in a little while, the Midsummer Festival will begin. For various reasons, there is no mercenary guild in Pafield to participate in the Midsummer Festival——— in fact, the other four mercenary guilds have jointly submitted a proposal to the association, asking to deprive the mercenary guild in the Parfield area. ”

What the?!

Hearing this, many people immediately jumped up in shock, this is undoubtedly equivalent to a bolt from the blue for them, indeed, what is the situation of the mercenary group in the Pafield area, everyone knows very well, but there is a mercenary guild quota hanging there, so at least there is a thought. Now you want to cancel the mercenary guild in the Parfield area? So what's the point of these mercenary groups working desperately?

The Mercenary Guild is not only a representative of the strength of mercenaries in a region, but also the face of all mercenaries in that region, if the association really cancels the guild quota in Parfield, then it means that all mercenary groups in Parfield will always be inferior in the future! Who can endure this kind of thing? No! No one can bear it! …,

At this moment, as soon as they heard the elder say this, those group leaders immediately became calm, and immediately some people stood up and objected loudly, and some people began to think more, could it be that the old president's gesture of favor before was to get them to agree to this matter? How is this possible?! This is the face of all the mercenaries in one area! They say don't want it, don't want it? Who would do that?!

"Please be quiet! Be quiet! ”

Obviously, the elder also knew what the consequences would be if he said this, so in the face of the crowd, he knocked the hammer in his hand several times without changing his face, which suppressed the noise. Then, the elder coughed, and then continued.

"Of course, the Mercenary Guild did not approve this proposal. But......... Admittedly, the situation in our Pafield area was troublesome before........."

Hearing this, many mercenary captains couldn't help but turn their heads and look at Shearer who was sitting in the front row, they knew what the elder meant.

In fact, now that the mercenaries in the Pafield area are trying their best to make such a person, not a ghost, and Shearer's Burning Blade will have to pay at least half of the responsibility. In the beginning, the Burning Blade was the most aspiring mercenary guild in the Parfield area, and everyone respected it. At the beginning, when the Burning Blade failed, there were many mercenaries who didn't take this kind of thing to heart, they felt that the Burning Blade was just bad luck, and if they could have strong reinforcements to join, then they would become a powerful mercenary guild again with their strength.

With this in mind, in the past few years, many mercenaries with outstanding strength have chosen to join the Burning Blade, wanting to become members of the guild in one step.

But in fact, the reason for the ups and downs of the Burning Blade is not because of these mercenaries, but because of the mercenary leader.

Shearer is not good at leading a mercenary guild at all, which is also the reason why the Burning Blade has been up and down year after year, and now, the mercenary group in the Parfield area has also lost its center of gravity, because the Burning Blade has absorbed a lot of powerful mercenaries, which directly leads to the weakness of other mercenary groups. And the Burning Blade, which has absorbed its strength, is dominated by the Pafield region———— but even so, they still can't be promoted to the Mercenary Guild.

This also indirectly implicates other mercenary groups, they don't have enough manpower and strength to hit the first, but the performance of the burning blade that sits firmly in the first place is very weak at the guild level, which also directly leads to the mercenaries in the entire Pafield area are not at all like other places, the guild sits in the overall situation, and the mercenary groups form a virtuous circle of competition between each other, but a half-dead appearance, so logically speaking, The four mercenary guilds use this as an excuse to deprive the Pafield area of the guild place, which is not a strong argument.........

Facing everyone's disgruntled and condemning eyes, Shearer coughed awkwardly and did not speak, he also knew that he could not escape this matter, but he was not the kind of person who was hòu cheeky, so he simply remained silent and did not say anything.

“………… Because of this, the Mercenary Association put forward a condition. ”

At this time, after making sure that there were no problems around, the old president continued.

"According to the decision of the association, in the end, we will select a mercenary group to represent the Parfield region in the upcoming Midsummer Festival Guild Battle! Moreover, if it can perform well in this midsummer festival, then it will be directly promoted to become a mercenary guild! In the end, our association decided to let Mr. Rhodes' Starlight Mercenary Group represent the Parfield region in this Midsummer Festival! ”…,

As soon as these words came out, everyone stayed where they were.

"It's not fair!"

Soon, someone immediately stood up and shouted.

"There are a total of thirty-two mercenary groups in the Pafield area, why do you want a mercenary group that has just been established for less than half a year to participate in the Midsummer Festival on behalf of Parfield? This matter has to be spread out, and no one will laugh out of the big teeth! ”

"That's right, we have so many mercenary groups here, and besides, why don't you let the Burning Blade go?"

"Quiet!!"

The elder struck the hammer again, causing the group to stop again, and then continued.

"Before announcing this, we in the Mercenary Guild had asked Mr. Shearer, but he refused to represent the Parfield region at this Midsummer Festival because Mr. Shearer did not think he was capable enough. As for choosing Starlight, it is because its strength is not weak, and as you can see, the Starlight Mercenary Group ranks first in the standings, and their team has not been affected by the previous disasters, it is considered a mercenary group with relatively complete strength preservation in our Pafield area, and Mr. Rhodes has no objection to this, so in the end, our association decided to send Starlight to represent the Parfield region to participate in this Midsummer Festival. ”

Hearing this, all the mercenary captains looked at each other, they were not very convinced by this decision in their hearts, but they had to admit that what the old president said was indeed reasonable, and now in the entire Pafield area, if anyone is not seriously injured but is thriving, then only Starlight. Other mercenary groups may have a history and heritage. But in the previous incident, they were deeply injured, and they simply couldn't get enough manpower for a while, which was indeed a problem for them.

But.........

"We are not skeptical of the Association's decision, and we admit that Mr. Rhodes is indeed very strong."

At this moment, another mercenary leader stood up.

"However, I think everyone knows very well that the Midsummer Festival Guild Battle is not a one-man battle, and Mr. Rhodes's strength is undoubted, and no one will think that there is any problem. But we have reason to wonder if the rest of the Starlight Mercenary Group will be able to meet this requirement? ”

"yes, yes."

"That's right, Mr. Rhodes is very strong, but the rest of the Starlight Mercenary Regiment, I don't think they can be strong enough to participate in the Midsummer Festival?"

And so it was.

Hearing the objections of these people, Rod raised his eyebrows, and at this time, he also noticed the elder's gaze.

It's time to put on your own pitch.

Thinking of this, Rhodes stood up.

I don't know what the reason for the road stopped, the noise stopped instantly, and everyone raised their heads and looked at Rhodes.

"I understand what you think, and it is true that the Midsummer Festival is a very strict and very difficult test. I can't do it alone, and ............ I don't think you can accept even if I say I believe my subordinates have this strength, but we mercenaries don't live on words. Therefore, here I am, there is a proposal to solve the problem in a mercenary way. ”

"In mercenary fashion?"

Hearing Rod's words, many people immediately lifted their spirits.

"Since you don't believe that my subordinates have such strength, then, each mercenary group, you might as well send the strongest people in your regiment to compete with my subordinates............ Think of it as a rehearsal for the Midsummer Festival, one from each mercenary group, a few teams, to challenge me and my Starlight, and if we win in the end, then I hope you will agree that Starlight is qualified to represent the Parfield region in this Midsummer Festival......... What do you think? ”…,

Competition?

Hearing what Rod said, the mercenary captains immediately calmed down, and they thought about it carefully and found that there was no loophole in Rode's words. Indeed, if they all sent the strongest people in their team to fight Starlight, but still couldn't beat Starlight in the end, then it means that this mercenary group is at least stronger than all the mercenary groups in Parfield, and if their strength is really strong to this point, then there is no problem in letting them represent the Parfield region to participate in the Midsummer Festival.

"I agree."

Shearer spoke first, and after that, Chauvin nodded slightly.

Since the two mercenary captains who are both well-known in the Pafield area have agreed to Rod's proposal, then the others naturally have no reason to object, not to mention that as Rod said, the mercenaries will eventually have to see the truth under their hands, so these mercenary captains did not hesitate too much, but quickly nodded and agreed.

But what they didn't expect was that Rod's words didn't end there.

"However, since it is a mercenary's way to solve the problem, the color head is naturally indispensable............ So I have one more suggestion, I'll come up with a piece of gear as a bet to suppress our Starlight and win. And all the mercenary groups participating in this competition, I also hope that you can play the same value of equipment as a bet, if we lose, then I will give the equipment with both hands, but if we win........."

At this point, Rhodes paused and did not say any more.

But everyone already understood exactly what he meant.

And the rest went very smoothly. Soon, the mercenary leaders reached an agreement on this matter, and eventually, each mercenary group would send a representative, with a team of five, and thirty mercenary groups (originally thirty-two, but the Emerald Tears were extinguished, and Starlight was a battler, so it was not counted) finally put together six teams to participate in the next competition. According to the agreement, as long as Rhodes can get enough victories, then they will agree with Starlight's eligibility.

As for Rod's next suggestion, the mercenary captains did not object.

I have to say that mercenaries still have a bit of adventure in their bones, not to mention that each mercenary group is only a piece of equipment, which is not difficult for these mercenary groups, so they no longer care about such trivial matters, but quickly nodded and agreed.

They don't know what to do, and for Rod, that's all that matters...... ）
