Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

Chapter 262 Lion's Mercenary Group (1)

"More mercenaries have arrived here under the influence of gold coins, and more intense battles have begun. In the street fighting in the city, the mercenary regiments of dozens of individuals are more adapted than the regular army of tens of thousands. Tens of thousands of mercenaries resisted. After ten days, Gris’s army only advanced less than 500 meters in these ten days. In order to reduce casualties, they had to start destroying houses along the way. This method was indeed effective. The houses that were demolished were not threatened. If they have enough time, they can definitely occupy the entire free paradise."

"When the sun rises on the fifteenth day, the army of the Principality of Gris can no longer sustain it, because they have no food. In the Principality of Gris, all war materials were bought by merchants, even several times. Under the effect of the price, several high-ranking ministers began to steal the materials in the warehouses of the Principality in a planned way to make huge profits."

"So, when the army ate the last piece of food, this army of less than 30,000 people collapsed. The general who led the army was unable to control the mutiny, and committed suicide in his military account for the sake of his reputation. The entire offensive failed completely. But the war is not over yet, and the merchants of Freedom Paradise have not stopped buying supplies. They brought more gold coins and frantically bought all kinds of things in the Principality of Gris. They even monopolized. All grain transactions in the Principality of Gris."

"When the Duke of the Principality of Gris found that he could barely put on the sauerkraut stew that usually only the servants would eat, the counterattack of Liberty Paradise began. As the army of the Principality of Gris collapsed, they There is no way to use force to seize the materials hoarded by the merchants. After all, these materials are protected by the mercenaries who have just defeated the army. In order to survive, the people of Gris, from the duke to the civilians, have to pay more expensive prices from the merchants. To buy back the food they sold."

"In the end, the merchants won the war. Their monopoly transaction in Gris not only recovered the cost of the entire war, but also robbed the last gold coin of the duchy. Since then, no one has been there anymore. Dare to openly attack the free paradise, even the craziest war madman must weigh the consequences before sending troops. However, the gorse empire took advantage of the civil strife in the Principality of Gris and sent troops to forcibly capture Gris and exile the Principality of Gris Ruler. Only the poor duke has lost everything."

"It turned out to be like this!" Ryan and Allen heard Flanner finished the whole story in one breath, and couldn't help being shocked by the power that the merchants burst out. They didn't expect these merchants, who usually seemed to be friendly, could subvert. A principality.

While Ryan and the others were sitting in the lion king's room and chatting happily, the guys under Steven who were responsible for monitoring Ryan's every move felt a terrible headache.Their task is to closely monitor Ryan and his party and provide information for Green's upcoming hunting operation, but Ryan and the three of them have not come out since they lived in the Pride of the Lion King, and they couldn't even see their personal images for three days.

No matter how rampant the people in charge of surveillance, they dare not openly break into the pride of the lion king to cause trouble. The backstage of the pride of the lion king is far from what their boss Steven can provoke, and methods such as bribery will not work at all. Wang Zhiao claims to be the most luxurious hotel on the mainland. It is not just for fun. The staff inside are obedient to the rules and dare not divulge any information about the guests.

It's hard to be soft, and hard to dare. This is really heartbreaking. The guys who are in charge of monitoring Ryan's trio looked at the clear sky helplessly, thinking about how to complete the task.One guy suggested to live in directly and live next door to Ryan, so that he can justify the surveillance target.As a result, this hapless guy became a punching bag for others and was severely repaired. The Pride of the Lion King is not affordable for ordinary people. The cost of a day there is a lot of money. They are just Steven's men. How dare a small character hidden in the darkness live in?Who knows when the Green team will be back? In case Green and the others are delayed for a few days on the road, even if they sell them as slaves, they can't afford the money.

But no matter what, the things Steven explained must be done. These guys have no choice but to wait outside slowly, but a few faces are always turning around at the door of the lion king, I am afraid that first It’s the pride of the lion king that troubles them, right?Who knows whether you are monitoring Ryan or are you going to vote for the Pride of the Lion King?

In order not to arouse suspicion from others, these poor guys finally figured out a way. They found some tattered clothes, pretended to be beggars, and squatted on the street far away from the lion king's pride all day, watching silently. The door to the pride of the lion king.Unless Ryan and the others will never come out, as long as you walk out the only door, you can always see you, right?

Ryan and the others did not know that, just a few hundred meters away from him, several poor beggars were watching him secretly.Since they rescued Flanner, Ryan and the others have been living in the pride of the lion king. This is mainly because Flanner has suffered a lot during those days of hiding in Tibet, and his body is relatively weak. He took care of it, and at the same time, he could avoid that the competitor who secretly dealt with Flanner had other plans.It's a pity that if Ryan and the others leave the free paradise as quickly as possible at this time, Steven has no choice but Ryan chose to rest in the pride of the lion king, which gave Steven plenty of time to dispatch his capable men.

But this time is not boring. The first thing Ryan gets up every day is to practice martial arts with Ellendo. Of course, there is no possibility of much movement in the pride of the lion king, that is, warming up, and having breakfast. Afterwards, the three people sat around and chatted together. In the afternoon, Flanner had the habit of taking a nap, and everyone went back to their own room. Allenduo chose to communicate with Xiaobai on the soul, while Ryan drew happily. The magic circle, Victor gave him a lot of materials, just to use it for practice. At night, the three people sat together, maybe chatting, maybe playing tarot and other small games.

During the small chat, Flanner also asked about Ryan's experience. After all, he and Ryan have only been together for a short period of time. It is still necessary to know more about his friends.Ryan will naturally not hide anything from his friends, but he is not a boastful person. When telling his own experience from walking out of his hometown to being in the Silent Language Forest not long ago, Ryan still simplified a lot of things, and took a lot of key points. Not to mention that it was because of Ryan's own abilities that he was able to make it easier.

Who is Flanner?As a shrewd businessman, what he is best at is to find useful information in clues. Despite Ryan’s understatement, Fryner is still keenly aware of the passionate and thrilling part of Ryan’s experience. , Which made Flanner admire Ryan even more.

However, after listening to Ryan’s story, Flanner discovered a problem. Ryan’s past experiences happened passively. To be precise, others always hire Ryan for an adventure instead of Ryan taking the initiative to prepare based on his own strength. The corresponding adventure.

There is naturally a big difference between these. Being employed by people, first of all, can’t control everything. If it weren’t for Ryan’s strength far surpassed his employer or companions, and as the situation developed, Ryan’s power had become The key to the success of the mission, Ryan could not slowly become the core of the team.

Secondly, it is impossible for the person who hires Ryan to arrange an adventure based on Ryan’s strength. Then this kind of adventure is likely to be a pleasant trip for Ryan. Because of Ryan’s low-key and willing to hire him, most of them will be far less powerful. His mercenary group, completed, is likely to be a task that is not difficult for Ryan.

With Ryan's strength, it is difficult to develop close cooperation with the person who hired him, because close cooperation should be based on the same strength. Imagine a monster that can be solved by encountering Ryan with a fireball. Does Ryan have to pretend Nothing. Slowly practice how to cover and attack with your companions?Isn't that superfluous?As a result, such an adventure cannot cultivate a tacit understanding between oneself and his peers, and it is also difficult to improve one's strength.

The last point, as a businessman, Flanner believes that instead of being hired by others and the pitiful commissions, it is better to set up a mercenary group and hire others to complete tasks. Not only can you slowly choose partners, cultivate tacit understanding, and increase With your own strength, you can also monopolize all the benefits from the adventure.

Take the case of the six arrows mercenary group as an example. If Ryan’s own mercenary group took over the task, as long as a very capable rogue dismantles the trap, plus Ryan himself and Allendo, three people are enough to complete the task. That mission.Ryan dealt with the immortal king, Elendo could be on guard, he could assist the thieves, and he could also support Ryan. On the contrary, it was Bury of the Six Arrows Mercenary Corps, Mark, Tedyn, the priest Dennis, and even the leader of the group. I basically didn't do anything here, and it was a waste of food to bring so many idle companions.

Flanner thought about it for a day. He found an opportunity to discuss these three points in his heart with Ryan carefully, and pointed out that in the previous situation, Ryan and Allendo were not wrong in taking risks together. , But as their strength improves and their companions increase, it will not be conducive to future development if this continues.
