Chapter 873: The First Mission!

In this world, mercenaries and adventurers sound similar, and they seem to be doing some more risky work to expel monsters.

In fact, the difference between the two is actually very large!

Compared with mercenaries, the profession of adventurer, to put it bluntly, is just a handyman.

do anything.

Sending letters, bodyguards, scouting, collecting, looking for lost objects, repelling invading monsters, and even landfilling garbage can all be sent to the Adventurer's Guild to post tasks!

And mercenaries are not.

Mercenaries are only responsible for killing!

Mainly responsible for the task of caravan protection and repelling monsters.

Although some jobs overlap with adventurers.

But the reason why the mercenaries form a group to take on the tasks is because the tasks received by the mercenary group are often not tasks that can be solved by a small number of people.

Even many tasks issued to the mercenary group, even if there are a large number of people, it is difficult to complete without tacit cooperation!

Therefore, there is actually a huge gap between adventurers and mercenaries in essence.

An excellent mercenary may not necessarily be a qualified adventurer.

However, an excellent adventurer may not be able to become an excellent mercenary.

Because mercenaries not only have to pass the test with their own strength, but most importantly, they have to get used to teamwork!

"So our top priority now is to take some group missions to warm up and run the team!"

Although most of the backbone of the Tianling Mercenary Corps is the old part of the Falcon Mercenary Corps, it has been abandoned for a year.

Moreover, after going through these things, some soft bones and wall grass in the past can no longer be used.

Therefore, the Tianling Mercenary Corps has to select and recruit some newcomers to join.

Therefore, it is very important to take some simple tasks, and then run into the team's cooperation in these tasks!

Hearing Hogan's proposal, Shia nodded slightly, and seeing Shia's nod, Sui Yu, who was sitting at the top, nodded slightly and said, "That's it!"

Well, these days, basically in every meeting, Sui Yu, the head of the Tianling Mercenary Corps, uttered these four-character maxims.

The other mercenaries who participated in the meeting began to wonder if Sui Yu could only speak these four words.

Not to mention, because I talked too much, although when Sui Yu spoke other human languages, his accent was still a bit awkward.

But saying these four words is really smooth!

As if he had expected that Sui Yu would say the four-character motto, Hogan pushed his glasses, took out a few mission briefings and passed them on to everyone with a calm face, and said to everyone: "Let's take a look, these are my servants and I. After the military union contacted, the other party recommended a task for us!"

Normally, for a newly formed mercenary group, the initial level is not only E-level, but the mercenary union will not appoint a special person to communicate.

Usually, the mercenary leader went to the mercenary union to find tasks suitable for his mercenary group, and those tasks were usually those tasks that were too lazy to do after being screened by large mercenary groups, and the cost performance was not very high.

Only the top-ranked mercenary groups will enjoy the privileges of providing advice from special personnel and directly bringing mission briefings for the mercenary group to choose.

Especially for the latter, only the number one mercenary regiment can have the privilege of suspending the assignment of missions from the mercenary union and bringing mission briefings for the mercenary regiment to choose from.

Logically speaking, the Tianling Mercenary Group has just been established, and its level should be very low.

It's just that King Ulysses VI is obviously trying to take care of Sui Yu, and the Tianling mercenary group can be regarded as the reorganization of the Falcon mercenary group that once ranked first.

Therefore, the mercenary union not only allowed the Tianling mercenary group to have an A-level rank as soon as it was established, but also directly gave special treatment according to the standards of the first mercenary group.

No, even if Hogan didn't dare to choose A-level missions out of prudence, he planned to practice with D-level tasks first.

But the mercenary union didn't hold back, and directly selected a few D-level missions with the highest cost performance and sent them over.

At this time, these task briefings were quickly circulated among the middle and high-level hands of the mercenary group, and then everyone conducted a discussion based on experience.

In the end, everyone chose an expulsion task - expelling the orcs.

It is said that at the border of the Dragon Forest near the town of Elu in the south of Shigewood, forest orcs often rush out of the forest to attack nearby villages and towns recently.

Although the forest orcs who rushed out were not many, they had seriously endangered the safety of surrounding villages and towns.

And there are reports that attacks appear to be increasing in frequency.

It seems that those forest orcs have become more and more courageous!

Therefore, in order to prevent further expansion of the disaster, the local villages and towns united to collect some rewards and planned to hire adventurers to expel them.

However, since the border of the forest is very wide, there is no way to stop those forest orcs with fewer people.

Thus, the Adventurer's Guild submitted the commission to the Mercenary Guild.

In short, it is a somewhat troublesome task that requires teamwork.

"Although the forest orc's combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of goblins, especially the forest orc is more flexible than ordinary orcs."

"However, if you surround them, five people should be able to easily eliminate a forest orc!"

"The difficulty of this task is to pay attention to the pace of the entire mercenary group while ensuring the team's actions!"

"After success, it will not only relieve the danger near Ellu Town, but also make our Tianling Mercenary Group famous! At the same time, it can be used to train our team's coordination, killing two birds with one stone!"

After hearing Hogan's summary, Sui Yu nodded slightly: "That's it!"

Well, Sui Yu has made it clear that he intends to make the hand-free shopkeeper to the end.

"Then, for the first event, I wonder if you want to lead the team personally?" Hogan smiled slightly, which seemed to have a lot of meaning: "Of course, our two deputy heads will also follow you to solve your problems of."

Building prestige through missions?

Sui Yu instantly understood what Hogan meant.

I have just arrived here, although the rumors say that I am very powerful, but many things are believed to be true.

So Hogan made it clear that he intends to gather people's hearts in the mission.

I have to admit that although this guy Hogan has an unlucky name, the most fundamental purpose of what he does is really trying to think for the sake of the entire mercenary group!

So Sui Yu nodded slightly: "Just do it like this!"

That's how things settled down.

The territory of the Kingdom of Akania is not large, especially on the map, the southern part of the Kingdom of Akania is protruded by the giant dragon forest, making the entire territory into a half-moon shape.

Therefore, all the members of the newly-built Tianling Mercenary Group set off from Sigwood and arrived near the town of Helu in just two days.

Originally, it would have taken about four days, or even five or six days if some things were delayed due to the march of large troops on the road, but this time it was directly shortened to two days.

And the reason, of course, is the bicycle!

Although Sui Yu's plan went very smoothly because of the prime minister's death, coupled with the 10,000 gold coins rewarded by the king and the return of various industries, Sui Yu now suddenly became rich in his hands.

However, he will not break his promise and give up the cooperation with the Adrian Chamber of Commerce because of this.

Even, during this period of time, Sui Yu specially made a lot of bicycles, not only handing them over to the grateful Cyril to sell, but also sending the surplus to his subordinates for use.

In this way, as bicycles gradually become popular in the Kingdom of Arkania, the members of the regiment will not appear particularly abrupt.

At the same time, while effectively enhancing the mobility efficiency, it can also play a role in reducing the value of bicycles.

According to Sui Yu's plan, he will not take out all the good things in one go, but start with low-value things according to their value, and then gradually increase the treatment of the mercenary group.

Even, Sui Yu specially discussed with Shia and formulated related plans for this purpose.

In addition to bicycles, let's start with eating, so that everyone can eat better and better.

Let everyone's nutrition keep up as soon as possible, especially those backbones who suffered a lot in the previous year, Sui Yu even secretly added some small stoves made by himself using cooking skills to their food.

After that, Sui Yu will gradually increase the food he made with his cooking skills to improve everyone's strength. At the same time, he will also increase various training facilities that can quickly improve the strength. During this year, Sui Yu will study the cultivation of Xi Ya, a human being. All kinds of exercise methods that come out of the way... Wait, wait, wait, wait!

Of course, the benefits should be released gradually and rhythmically.

In this process, not only can these increasing benefits increase everyone's expectations, but also further condense loyalty.

At the same time, when the benefits given at the beginning are not too much, it can be used to test loyalty.

If the loyalty is not up to the standard, let him go if he wants to go!

As for later hearing that the treatment here is good, you want to come back after regretting it?

Feel sorry!

The Tianling Mercenary Group is not a place where you can come and go whenever you want!

But so far, the overall situation is still very good.

Although several people have come and gone, the overall structure is still very stable.

I have to admit that the abilities of Hogan and his group are really good.

It's really good at knowing and employing people.

"The mission location is ahead!"

No, under the command of Shia and the mediation of Hogan, together with the division of labor and cooperation between Neil and Paul, they have given full play to their subjective initiative. In order to avoid trouble, the team of Tianling Mercenary Corps did not After entering the town of Elu, after just sending someone to negotiate, he was soon led by the guide sent by the town to the edge of the forest where the legendary forest orcs appeared.

"Just around here, five people have died!"

Although the young man in charge of leading the way in the town looked brave, he still couldn't help shaking when he came near the forest.

"Spread out, investigate in a small group!"

Don't look at Xi Ya's submissiveness at Longzhifeng, here, the aura of a strong woman comes out in an instant!

Waving an order, that's a heroic figure!

Immediately afterwards, the mercenaries who received the order changed their formation in an instant, and quickly assembled in small groups, and gradually began to spread out to the surroundings according to a certain pattern!

Moreover, although the formation is changing, in the process, the team is always in a state of advancing, attacking, retreating and defending.

Occasional flaws are quickly filled.

I have to admit that Shia and Hogan have a lot of experience in battle formation and training!

Sui Yu, who originally wanted to show off, couldn't find any chance at all.

Originally, he also planned to show off his skills when performing missions so that the new members of the regiment would understand that he is a very powerful regiment leader and worth following.

As a result, there was no chance along the way, and now at the mission location, it seems that there is still no chance.

This made Sui Yu very distressed.

No way, Sui Yu could only open the map of the Transcendent system, wanting to see if there was any prey nearby that would allow him to show his talents.

Looking at it this way, Sui Yu really discovered some problems.

"Xia, to the southwest, there are many hostile creatures moving towards here at a distance of more than a thousand meters."

In a low voice, she told Xi Ya about her discovery in dragon language mixed with human language, and when she heard Sui Yu's words, Xi Ya immediately shouted loudly after hearing Sui Yu's words: "Attention everyone, watch out for the southwest direction, the leader found a large number of hostile creatures approaching, Be careful!"

I have to admit that Shia's management ability is really good.

Although Sui Yu was usually reticent, the most sloppy thing he said was "just do it like this", so that in the mercenary group, it seemed that there were often mercenaries who expressed dissatisfaction.

But during the mission, no one jumped out to make trouble.

The whole team takes the execution and completion of tasks as the top priority, without making any mistakes.

But now, even though Sui Yu obviously felt that some mercenaries didn't believe Sui Yu's words, they were still ready to fight after the order was issued.

Then……

"Be careful! The enemy is very good at hiding the breath in the forest!"

Just like what Neil said, the monsters detected by Sui Yu are very good at hiding their breath in the forest and moving quickly, so that when they are close to the edge of the forest, because the number of opponents seems to be very large, they are discovered by the mercenaries!

Honestly, it's really, really dangerous.

Fortunately, Sui Yu warned in advance, and at the same time, Xi Ya decisively ordered to be on guard.

Otherwise, in the state of the team that was gradually dispersed just now, it might be too late to respond and be defeated one by one!

Then……

"My God!"

A mercenary finally couldn't help exclaiming: "Forest orc! It's a forest orc!"

"But, what's going on with this number?!"
