Chapter 89: The Country of Mercenaries

The Mercenary Kingdom is the only country in the Pan-Continent without military protection, but its strength cannot be overlooked. During the heyday of the Ailesen Empire, it once had the idea of ​​the Mercenary Kingdom and launched a tentative attack. As a result, the soldiers of the Ailesen Empire found that on the front battlefield, their achievements were brilliant. The mercenaries of the Mercenary Kingdom did not dare to compete with them head-on, and the mercenaries seemed very loose and could not form a group of combat power. So in the first month, they occupied a large area of ​​land and almost annexed one-third of the Mercenary Kingdom.

The soldiers of the Ailesen Empire were very excited. They also wrote an affidavit to the king, vowing to completely occupy the mercenary country within three months. However, before the affidavit was delivered to the King of the Ailesen Empire, the soldiers discovered that they had been surrounded by the war swamp.

The country of mercenaries is full of mercenaries, some of which are from their own country and some who have moved there. They are often residents and mercenaries who come out. Sometimes they knock on the door of a single door and find that the family inside has several characters such as swordsmen or magicians. This is not a strange thing.

Judging from the nature of the mercenaries themselves, there are various combinations. Some like-minded friends bring together mercenary groups, some are from a mercenary group, some are from a neighborhood, and even a village is from a large mercenary group. No matter which combination it is, the centripetal force of the mercenary group, loyalty and sense of responsibility between each other are far greater than that of the army.

Although mercenary groups of all sizes are fighting on their own, they have also brought great trouble to the Elisen Empire. The logistics supply line was hit by successive attacks, and small-scale rangers and scouts were repeatedly attacked. In other words, unless the soldiers of the Elisen Empire are stationed in the camps, as long as some people are divided, no matter how many, dozens or even hundreds, they may suffer devastating attacks!

When the brigade arrived at the scene, all they could see was the bodies of their own soldiers. They went to the surrounding villages to investigate, but could not find anything. Those people, or people who just looked like people, had deep hostility towards the soldiers of the Ailison Empire, and it was impossible for them to cooperate.

The most serious thing is in the rear. In order to occupy the territory of the mercenary country faster, the army of the Ailesen Empire often left only hundreds and thousands of soldiers as guards after occupying an area. The main force quickly moved forward. In the climax of the mercenary resistance, these guards were wiped out one by one. The army of the Ailesen Empire discovered that they had fallen deeply in. There were enemies everywhere in front, back, left and right!

The soldiers of the Ailesen Empire could not tell which one was a kind person, which one was the murderer who harmed his companions, and could not control the situation. As for massacre... Massacre is a taboo word! In the war between humans and other races, the massacres often become heroes of human beings. However, in internal wars, the massacres may be despised by all human beings. Of course, massacres are not impossible, it mainly depends on the determination of the upper-class people in the Ailesen Empire!

First of all, the country of mercenaries is a country with extremely strong folk customs. Death cannot scare them, because they often fight with the god of death, and the massacre will inevitably cause more intense revenge. Moreover, they must be prepared to be strategically isolated. Other countries in the continent are likely to unite and resist strategic materials such as the Alisen Empire, metals, magic crystals, etc., and it will be blocked and it is extremely difficult to replenish them from other countries. Their specialties will also become unsold goods, politically and economically isolated and attacked. If the Mao Empire calls on other countries to jointly attack the Alisen Empire under the banner of justice, then they will also be in an extremely unfavorable situation in military affairs.

All kinds of disastrous results were in front of us. After weighing the trade-offs for a long time, the upper class of the Ailesen Empire finally chose to retreat. The tactical plan of continuing to attack was destroyed in three groups. The three armies gathered together and returned to the Ailesen Empire as fast as possible.

A few died here and a dozen died there. Such numbers were too small for wars. Although they happened very frequently, they seemed to be completely ignored. However, when they summed the numbers together and the losses caused by the sudden annihilation of the guards, the upper class of the Ailesen Empire discovered that the number of casualties and injuries of their own soldiers had reached a terrifying 40,000!

At this point, the war ended with the failure of the invaders. No other country dared to glimpse the huge strategic resource of the mercenary country, which is a soldier. The two unique regimes, Mercenary Country and Tumen Commercial Alliance, echoed north and south and existed on the mainland. However, compared with the latter, the mercenary country has 100% autonomy, but the Tumen Commercial Alliance has to rely on the breath of the Ma'o Empire. The Tumen Commercial Alliance can develop to this level today, largely depends on the enlightened attitude of the monarchs of the Ma'o Empire. If a cruel and greedy monarch is replaced, the Tumen Commercial Alliance will not have such a good life.

Hei Shui City is one of the two most important cities in the mercenary country and one of the two major distribution centers of the Pan-continental Magic Crystal Land. Magic Crystal, the short two words can represent many things. In this magic world, the demand and loss of magic crystal land has reached an astronomical number. Whoever can control the magic crystal means that the lifeblood of the continent! The Elisen Empire, which was originally the most powerful, gradually fell into a trough and was tied by the Mao Empire, which has always been on the defensive position. It has a decisive relationship with the Mercenary Country's refusal to enter the merchants of the Elisen Empire. After the war of aggression, the Mercenary Country implemented this policy for a hundred years, which had a huge impact on the Elisen Empire's economy. They could only acquire Magic Crystal at a high price from other countries with good relations or individual merchants. The losses over the past century have long been impossible to calculate. This is also one of the most typical examples of karma on the mainland.

It was not until a hundred years later that Princess Ailison, who was extremely beautiful and beautiful, married the leader of a super mercenary group in the Mercenary Kingdom, that this retaliatory policy was abolished. As for the age gap between the two sides, the question of whether there is a political marriage cannot be verified.

The two sons of the regiment commander died of accidents one after another, and the two-year-old grandson died of illness a year later. In the end, the beautiful princess's biological son inherited the position of the regiment commander. Whether it was full of coincidences or conspiracies was unverified, nor had the value of verification. People only know that the Alisen Empire has recovered from then on.

Of course, many effects are corresponding. The monarchs of other countries in the mainland woke up from the trough of the Ailesen Empire to realize the potential threat of the mercenary country. While maintaining friendly relations with the mercenary country, they were vigilantly observing the movements of the mercenary country. They could tolerate their lifeline being controlled by a loose organization, but they would never allow a powerful dictatorial government to be born! That would be a huge threat to all countries!!

The upper class figures of the Mercenary Kingdom seem to understand this truth. The four super mercenary groups take turns to rule, and each round of term is only one year. No matter which mercenary group shows signs of growth, they will be jointly suppressed by other mercenary groups. They are brave in internal strife and internal strife, or they know that they must consume their strength in internal strife and internal strife, so that they will not become public enemies!

These are all things An Fei got from the intermittent narratives of Chris Ding and Susanna. It was better to see them than to hear them. When he stepped into Blackwater City, An Fei smelled a completely different smell from the Mao Empire and the Tumen Business Alliance.

First of all, the walls of Blackwater City are very low. The Mercenary Kingdom is a country that is not defended everywhere and is also a defense everywhere. The walls are not very useful. Among the pedestrians on the street, there are many people wearing swordsman signs and magician signs. The proportion is far greater than that of the Mao Empire. However, the buildings on both sides of the street look very simple, not as tall and spectacular as the buildings of the Mao Empire, nor as gorgeous as the Tumen Commercial Alliance.

A client-like man stood beside the street and lifted up a woman's short skirt and kneaded vigorously on the woman's butt, while the woman looked very useful; there was a loud laughter in the tavern, and the loud sound could deafecate the ears of pedestrians on the street, but the people of the Ma'o Empire and the Tumen Business Alliance could not do such a thing. There was an elegant world over there, a rough world, and the senses were very different.

An Fei found that the pedestrians on the street were not interested in other pedestrians. Whenever he found a person with weird behavior, Chris Ding and others would take a look at him curiously for a moment, but the people in Hei Shui City looked blind.

In fact, Hei Shui City is a city that is relatively free. Will the mercenary guild interfere in personal life? Unless you endanger the safety of others, even if you are riding the elves slaves, you may simply hang the elves slaves on the street, no one will say anything, because you are destroying your own things, but you have to pay a certain cleaning fee.

Of course, one more thing to do is to make a preparation, that is, the revenge of the arrogant elves!

When I saw the four words "Elf Female Slaves", I thought that their status was very low. This is wrong. Female Slaves only represent their identity when they first entered human society, but the status of intelligent life can change with the passage of time. Some people are getting higher and higher, while others are getting lower and lower. The wife of the leader of the ruling Ta'ao Tiger Mercenary Group was once an elf female slave. But not only had she lost her slave family, but she also became an influential upper class figure. She also gave birth to nine children for her husband, each of which was a well-known strong man.

"An Fei, if the people in Blackwater City learned about the wanted order issued by the Philips family, would it threaten our safety?" Bravey whispered while observing the pedestrians coming and going.

"No." Susanna replied in a low voice: "Mercenary is not a killer, and Philip is just a great swordsman, and his influence is not that great."
