"Welcome to the Mercenary Market. Here, we will provide you with the best quality service. You only need to pay a certain handling fee, and you can screen the mercenaries who meet the requirements through each smart brain terminal, and the smart brain will sort them according to the mercenaries' record evaluation to help you! ”

"Come on, come on, this is the dark heart of the Winason hunting group. Want to become an overnight success? Do you want to hug a beautiful woman? Join us in the heart of darkness and we will give you a bright future! ”

"We are...... Love and the Knights of the Rose! That's right, our core members are made up of hot babies. We are in dire need of highly skilled and gentlemanly warriors to join. Is there anyone who wants to fight to protect us? ”

In the hall filled with all kinds of sounds, Alan and Lucy stood in the doorway for a full minute. This is Babylon's mercenary market, which is divided into five floors. Floors 1 to 3 are open to the public, while floors 4 are only accessible to family members of families and above. As for the fifth floor, it is a special recruitment session for top mercenaries. Usually, these mercenaries are only qualified to be accessed by the core members of wealthy families.

With Allen's qualifications, he can only go up to the fourth floor at most. But here on the first floor, he was a little dazzled. The crowds ranged from large and small private hunting groups to groups with family flags, as well as free mercenaries with no affiliations. The venues on the first to third floors are almost always like this, the hunting group and the mercenaries interact in both directions, the hunting group values the mercenary's record evaluation, and the mercenaries value the hunting group, or the power of the family behind it.

It's the first time Alan has come to the mercenary market, and this high degree of freedom is a bit incompatible with the omnipresent class nature of Babylon.

"Sir, what service do you need?"

A barely subdued voice rang out, full of inorganic flavor like an electronic synthesized sound. But when Alan turned around, he saw a girl with black hair and white skin. When the girl's black eyes were faintly reflected in the mist-like black eyes, Alan was surprised: "Vera, why are you here." And ......"

Vera was wearing a suit that was obviously a uniform, and when she saw that it was Allen, the expression on her little face changed a little. Like a doll injected with a soul, there was a bright light in her black eyes, and she said, "I work here to earn some tuition." I'm not a kid anymore, and I can't always spend grandpa's money. Speaking of which, you're here to recruit mercenaries...... Your hunting group was formed? ”

Alan nodded and said, "Wolves, I only came down from the qualification review yesterday." Come here today and see if you can recruit some suitable players. ”

"Oh...... Bring. Vera spread her hands.

"What?" Alan was a little confused.

"Contract. You should bring an electronic contract with you, right? ”

Alan took out a tablet brain: "Yesterday, Mr. Helsing did enter the contract into the brain, but he hasn't found a suitable candidate yet." ”

"Give me that." Vera pointed to his brain.

Alan was a little confused, but he still gave her the brain. Vera quickly pulled up the contract of the members of the wolf hunting group from her brain and signed her name in it.

"As I said before, if you form a group, I'm going to be one of them." Give the brain back to Alan, Vera said seriously.

Alan said helplessly, "I didn't forget it, Vera. But I always felt that Mr. Hughton should have been informed of this matter first. ”

"It's okay, I'll sue him over there. Then from today onwards, I will be your man. Please let me know in advance when the safari group will depart. Vera said goodbye and walked like a mechanical doll to another man standing in a daze at the door.

Lucy couldn't help but ask, "Who is she?" ”

"Vera, Mr. Hughton's granddaughter." "Her parents died in battle, and Vera hopes to have the opportunity to see the place where her parents died in battle," Alan said. When I heard that I would set up a hunting group, I asked me to take her with me. I had thought I'd have to talk to Mr. Hughton, but it would be nice for Vera to fill in her name. ”

Hunting groups duly registered with the Authority, contracts with members are subject to federal oversight. If either party breaches the contract, the federal government will intervene to protect the legal rights and interests of both parties. Therefore, once the contract is signed, it can basically only be terminated until the end of the contract period.

The duration of the contract for a hunting group is generally three years, of course, depending on the speed of the Earth's currents.

"Let's go, let's go to Leon."

The meeting place agreed with Leon was on the fourth floor, and after showing Bescord's permission ring, the waitress of the special passenger elevator on the fourth floor cordially received the two. Coffee and pastries were even provided during the elevator to the fourth floor. The fourth floor is much quieter, and the flow of people has dropped a lot. Here, the number one family in Babylon has its own special session on the fourth floor.

In the recruitment session, there are dedicated personnel to provide convenient and fast services to assist recruiters in selecting the most suitable mercenary candidates.

As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, someone led Allen and the two to Bethcord's recruitment session. However, Allen did not notify the market in advance to open the special session today, so the monopoly was very quiet. Leon made an appointment with him to meet here, and sure enough, after passing through a deep corridor, he saw the son of the William family when he entered the special session. Beside him, there was also a man who was half an inch shorter.

Hearing footsteps, Leon turned back. The smile nodded at Allen, and his eyes fell on Lucy's body, and a bright smile escaped from his face: "This must be Miss Double Ponytail." ”

"Double ponytails?" Lucy pointed to herself.

"That's what Adele calls you." Leon smiled.

Alan gave a brief introduction to the two of them, and Leon turned sideways, let the strange man come forward, and said, "This is Mr. Coba." Mr. Koba is a well-known mercenary agent, and the mercenaries he has are ruthless. They have a lot of experience, and they are definitely not the talents that can be found in the following layers. ”

Coba was shorter than León, but he was very strong. The body is wide and fat, and the eyes are deep and sharp on the square face. He smiled slightly with his hands, and was swept away by his gaze, and Alan faintly felt a sense of pins and needles. It can be seen that this man is by no means simple, and his strength is not below Colonel Gao Lei.

"Mr. Koba will take you to his mercenary guild to pick a suitable candidate, but before then, I have a few ideas." Leon smiled, "Alan, you should know the process of developing the battlefield in the outer realms. Throughout the hundreds of years since the start of the high-level war, you can see that even a wealthy family did not pull an army to set off when they opened up their own family's colonization star. Even if the colonization of the entire planet is completed, the army guarding the planet is mostly composed of the natives of the planet. ”

"Every pioneer will only set out in the form of a hunting group at first. Once you reach the target planet, set up an advance base, capture your initial territory, and recruit local soldiers. Establish factories and slaves to establish territories. Expansion, and so on, gradually opened up the situation and finally completed colonization. This process usually doesn't take decades to do, and of course, this refers to low-dimensional asteroids. ”

"The first step in this process is important. It determines whether or not you will be able to establish yourself on the colony planet, which is important in addition to the abilities of the leader and core members, as well as the rest of the team. I suggest that you should not blindly choose mercenaries with superb combat power, but should be inclined to consider the comprehensive aspect. Especially if you have a talent in leading or training soldiers, they are the best fit for you. ”

Leon's words will come down, giving Alan a new understanding of how to choose mercenaries. Alan is now a member of Beth Kod, but he lacks the vision and insight that Leon was born in a family and cultivated over a long period of time. Moreover, Leon had already been to the Outlands once, and his experience in this area was exactly what Alan lacked.

Seeing that Alan had written it down, he patted Koba on the shoulder and said, "Then, my brother will be handed over to you." Mr. Coba, please say hello to Ellen for me. ”

"Of course, Master Leon." Coba Road.

Leon said goodbye and left, while Coba led the two to the union pavilion on the fourth floor.

The Mercenary Guild is a bridge to assemble excellent mercenaries and interface with well-known hunting groups or wealthy families. These unions often have the best quality human resources, and the mercenaries they have on hand are not at all comparable to the free mercenaries of the lower three tiers. Coba's mercenary union, "Fog and Fire", is one of the famous big unions, and they have been working with big guys like the William family for many years.

From excellent mercenaries to thousand-man level armies, they have it all. Along the way, Koba introduced the union's business, which was an eye-opener for Allen.

"Here we are."

In a blink of an eye, I arrived at the exhibition hall of Fog and Fire, and on the projection wall outside the exhibition hall, the information of some of the Fog and Fire mercenaries was repeatedly displayed. These mercenaries are already much stronger than ordinary warriors, but they only belong to the role of big road goods in the fog and fire. Those who are really tough are often concentrated in the hands of agents.

Coba is just one of the agents of the fog and fire, and his office is much simpler than Alan imagined. And it was quiet, except for the two girls who acted as assistants, Alan didn't see any mercenaries. Koba saw it in his eyes and laughed: "Those guys in my hands, even if they don't have a mission or contract with them, won't honestly stay on Babylon for others to choose." They are beasts, and beasts naturally have a place where beasts should go. The surface, for example, is the perfect place for those guys to take a vacation. ”

"But don't worry, as long as you pick a good person and pay the commission. No matter where these guys are, even in the belly of a deep-sea whale, I have a way to get them in front of your eyes in three days. Koba said confidently.

Alan nodded: "Then let me see what good candidates Mr. Koba has here." ”R1058
