Chapter 043: (Mercenary Creed)
"As long as you help me get my revenge and complete my mission," Desaivi assured them. "I'll pay you. β
"I trust you," Alleyne replied. "Ms. Desaivi, we accept your employment. "Helping those in need as much as possible is the way of knighthood and the principle he adheres to.
Sympathize with the weak, and the knight must have a broad and tolerant heart. Knights are on a mission to eradicate evil and bring justice. Although, at the moment, he is just a mercenary who fights for gold and survives, but he is always true to his soul.
"I'm going to collect some arrows that I can use, and then we'll get out of here. "As for the armor and weapons that Rodok was wearing, Desay Vi didn't pick them up. All military weapons and armor are engraved with steel seals and are easily recognizable.
"Miss Julia, you must know my name, but let me introduce you officially, my name is Alleyne, and I am from outside of Calradia. Alleyne gestured to his companion. "The lewd-looking man is Mocha, this brave young man is called Merck. β
When Merck heard his new partner praise him for his bravery, he felt a sense of intimacy. Mo Mocha, on the other hand, looked indifferent, and didn't seem to care much about Ellene's jokes, because the other party was one of the few mercenaries with whom he had a close relationship.
"I don't know why Miss Julia provoked that noble kid just now?"
Alleyne and Merck killed several Rhodoc soldiers and offended the noble kid just now, and Mo Mocha was worried that when they arrived in [Viruga], they would happen to bump into the gentleman in the city, after all, the other party was the son of Count Kestor.
Julia hurriedly bowed slightly: "You can call me Julia, my father is a businessman in Veruga, and his family is quite wealthy. I only like to read books on weekdays, and my life is relaxed and comfortable. I didn't expect my father to marry me to a playboy for the sake of business interests..."
"Then I escaped, thinking that the farther away from that ugly deal the better, and headed north," Julia paused for a moment, and said gloomily, "but I was saved by the gangsters on the way, thanks to the help of Sister Desailvi." β
"I can't see that she is still a righteous and courageous person. Aren's eyes couldn't help but look at Desaivi's back not far away.
"She's a poor person too," Julia continued. "After that, we went together, but I didn't know that Lu Dao was targeted by Lafad again, entangled all the way, if it weren't for Sister Desaivi's archery skills, I'm afraid it would be ......."
"And then you were trapped here, and thanks to our appearance, we saved you from ......fire and water," Mo Cha's joke stopped dumbly in the middle of his joke, and he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
He listened carefully to the girl's story of her experience, but how could he think that the story of the other party was very similar to the story told by Jamila in the morning? First she was forced to marry by her father, then she ran away from home, then she met a gangster, and finally she was rescued? Is it true that the story of a rich girl is like this?
"Uh......" The girl laughed at Mo Mocha's words. "Thanks to all of you!"
"But speaking of which, Ms. Desay is really good," Merck interjected. "Accurate and fast......"
"Yes, yes!" before Merck could finish speaking, Momocha shouted. "When we were just outside the woods, I almost hung up, and I was scared to death!"
Ellen also frowned and said, "Ms. Desaivi is indeed very skilled, the longbow on her body has an extremely long range, and it is rare to return the arrow accurately. If an ordinary person opens a longbow, five bows in a row are considered to be good hands, but she shoots no less than ten arrows. β
"Although Desaivi's sister is gifted and powerful, her life experience is very pitiful, she was ruthlessly promised to be a scoundrel by her father who owed gambling debts, she was beaten and scolded every day, and later she strayed into the mountains and forests to become a robber...... Julia and Desaivi got along very well for a few months, and she couldn't help but be sad when she talked about her past: "But later...... Later......"
Alleyne and Merck listened quietly. Mo Mo Cha couldn't help but ask: "What happened later?"
Julia sighed and said, "After the old robber who took care of Sister Desaivi died, she was almost raped by several robbers...... Although she escaped with great strength, Sister Desaivi was hit one after another, and since then she has been extremely disgusted with men......"
"Almost rape?" Mo Cha silently imagined Desaiwei's stout physique, and was speechless for a while. Although he was also sympathetic to Desaivi's experience, he had a strange feeling, and couldn't help but sigh that those robbers had really seen women?
Everyone whispered, and they all lamented what happened to Desaivi and the strong bow. Desaivi, on the other hand, was far away at the moment, and he didn't hear what they were muttering in private.
At this moment, two more figures appeared in front of them in the woods - their companions - the 'cold-blooded killer' Kress and the 'little man' Roman.
Saidvi held the dagger in his hand and looked warily at the two figures that appeared on the opposite side. When Alleyne saw this, he spoke, "Don't be nervous, Lady Saidwig, they are my companions. β
Mo Mocha hurriedly stuffed a few money bags in his hand into his pocket, for fear that Kress on the other side wanted to get a piece of the pie, or that Roman would ask him to pay him back. The thief couldn't remember how many dinars he had borrowed from the little man, and he hadn't intended to pay them back.
Alleyne walked up to the two companions and asked, "Why are you here?"
The withdrawn Cress stood aside indifferently, not intending to respond to the other party. Even the handsome, gentlemanly Alleyne in front of him, this girl who was cold and frosty rarely cared about it. The only thing Kress cares about is her dagger and the dinar.
Ellen also avoided the other party's cold gaze with interest, he was used to the other party's cold and frosty character, and turned to look at his partner 'Little Man' Roman, who had a good relationship with him.
No one in the team liked horse thieves, but the group was more afraid of Kresss. It is undeniable that Kress is very delicate in both figure and appearance, and there are many mercenaries in the team who have beaten her idea. There was once a mercenary who tried to force his way on her, but she slashed her in the throat.
From then on, none of the mercenaries in the team dared to attack Kressie's idea, let alone approach her. Everyone was afraid that she would cut their throats one night. After being threatened by the other party, Momocha secretly gave Kress the nickname of a 'cold-blooded killer'.
Seeing this, Roman opened his mouth to explain: "You haven't moved at all for so long, the head of the regiment is worried about what trouble you are in inside, let's come in and have a look." β
"We're fine," Alleyn glanced at Merck behind him. "It's our new partner who is a little injured!"
"It's a little injury!" Merck smiled at his new companions.
Kress's cold gaze scanned the corpses around her, as if looking for something, but she quickly withdrew her gaze and looked at the hidden Momocha on the other side. There was a hint of disdain and coldness in her cold eyes.
"Who are they?" Roman asked, looking at the corpses and scattered weapons and equipment around him, "What about these corpses?"
"It's a long storyβ"
"βthen to make a long story short. β
Ellen frowned slightly, took a few steps forward, leaned over to the little man's side, and whispered a few words in his ear. I saw Roman's brows furrowed, and he gasped, thinking: You kid said it easily.
"Oh, damn it, you killed these Rhodok soldiers," Roman grumbled worriedly. "If the Rhodok soldiers out there who were watching us found the bodies here, how do you think they would react?"
"So we have to get out of here as soon as possible, so as not to arouse the suspicion of those Rhodok soldiers outside. Just obeyed the voice before the voice fell, the figure of Momo Tea had already run hundreds of yards away.
The apathetic Kress walked in front alone, and Merck quickly followed, as if she wanted to walk side by side with Kress. Julia and the wounded Desay Vi also left the woods with them, and Alleyne and Roman walked behind and distanced themselves from the people in front of them.
"How can you be ashamed to accept their employment?" Roman muttered as he walked beside Alleyne on the woods path. "The head of the regiment just asked you to come in to check the situation, and didn't let you stand up for others, which may have caused some trouble for everyone. β
"I'll explain it to the regimental commander," Alleyne said firmly. "If there's any trouble, I'll take it. β
"Can you take it?" Roman reminded the other with a frown. "You were once a noble child, you should know better than anyone else the consequences of offending those powerful gentlemen, right?"
"I'm just helping two people in need. Alleyne's tone was as uncompromising as a rock. "As for the consequences, I don't care, I won't run away, and I won't affect everyone. β
"Damn, you stupid boy, you want to be a knight and you want to go crazy?" Roman scolded as he looked very angry. "Tell me, who are you?"
"I'm a mercenary. Alleyne blurted out without thinking. He silently recited the second half of the sentence in his heart: My name is Ellenn, I have no surname, I am a guest from the East.
"What is the mercenary's creed?"
Alleyne said word by word: "The responsibility on my shoulders is heavier than yours, give me the back, I will guard, I will not look back, I can only move forward, mercenaries do not need to declare, only loyalty." From the moment he first entered the profession as a mercenary, he kept this sentence in mind.
"Remember, boy, that I have a heavier responsibility on my shoulders than you," Roman said categorically. "And don't look back, just keep going, give me your back, and I'll guard it. β
