As soon as I responded that I would meet the mercenary group, I decided to meet with the head of the mercenary group.

Lets lead the Mercenary Corps Leader inside Canale Castle.

A man with a tough body came in around 30 years old.

The beard is thick and the face is quite thick.

At a glance, it looks strong.

Of course, I didn't know if it was really strong or not until I did an appraisal.

"The leader of the mercenary group Grundl, Ulvard Theon. Thank you."

The man said without changing his expression.

I return the greeting, too.

After that, Ulbert begins to describe his career as a mercenary.

How many battles did you take part in, and how much did you fight for?

I would have listened to this track record and judged my prowess as a mercenary regiment, but I have appraisal skills.

If you look at Ulbert's abilities as leader of the regiment, you will be able to gauge the strength of the mercenary regiment to some degree. Even if the soldiers are better than the others, they won't be stronger if what they command isn't good enough.

Half of the story was heard, and I tried to appraise Ulbert.

Current values are 65 for leadership, 71 for martial arts, 55 for wisdom, and 45 for politics.

There is no significant difference from the limit value.

There was nothing particularly superior in aptitude.

It's not that I'm incompetent, but I don't think I'm particularly good as a leader.

His men may be strong, but they will not be the leader of a mercenary regiment, and the mercenary regiment he leads will not be particularly powerful.

Well, that doesn't mean I don't need it.

Fighting is about quality, but numbers are the most important thing.

If you're incompetent, you don't need stones, but you do have something that's capable, and I think it's worth a contract.

It depends on the price.

If it is too expensive, it is better to skip the contract.

"How much will the contract money be?"

"The amount I'm offering is 15 gold coins a month." I want you to provide food and housing apart from the money. "

Fifteen?

Recently, tax revenues have risen due to the favourable economic situation, so it is not an amount that cannot be paid.

There must have been about 200 soldiers, so 15 gold coins a month isn't that expensive... but I feel like I'm overpaying when I think of preparing food separately.

Master Ars, can I have a moment?

Leez, who was listening next to her, whispered to her.

“How was his ability?”

"Not bad, but not particularly expensive."

"I see... then, I think it would be better to drop it off this time."

"Is that so?" Isn't it necessary to increase your strength? "

"There is no doubt that it should be augmented. But there's more than one mercenary group."

Is there another mercenary group coming?

"Yes, I think Canale is an easy target for the mercenaries right now." It seems likely that there will be a battle because the economy is upward and the county is likely to have money, and it is a county on the state border with a less friendly Citts state. Given the two elements, it is no wonder that other mercenary groups will be pitching soon. ”

"I see..."

Speaking of which, Leetz used to belong to the mercenaries.

I think I'm pretty familiar with the mercenaries around here.

I think it's better to listen to Leeds honestly here.

If the mercenaries are still coming, there's no need to rush into signing up.

"I'm sorry, but I'm going to miss the contract this time."

"... I see. I'm going to stay in this town for about a week, so if you change your mind, just let me know." I'm staying at an inn called Larbek. "

When Ulbert heard my response, he gave a slightly unfortunate expression and left Canale Castle behind.

After that, I discussed it again with the housemates, but this time I did not change the conclusion that it was better to skip it.



A few days have passed.

The mercenaries are back, as Rhets predicted.

Besides, it was about three pairs at the same time.

Leeds was entirely correct in his reading. Should I call it a boulder?

The number of people was less than the first mercenary group, the Grundl, and was about 50.

The contract fee was cheap because the number of people was small.

I appraised the first two sets of commanders.

I had the ability to do that, but I was still not strong enough to jump. Well, a good mercenary corps would already have a name. The Mercenary Corps, whose name hasn't been sold yet, is highly capable.

Thinking of it, I carried out a third set of appraisals.

"I'm Rock Siedle, the leader of the Mercenary Bangle."

He was an all-back man with a tidy face.

She is still young.

I appraised Locke.

Locke Franbalt, 27 years old.♂

Plan B

That's a pretty good talent. For some reason, I was concerned that the surname of the appraiser and the surname of the appraiser were different.

Well, the first names are together, so it might not be that strange. A surname can change a family situation. The Shadows didn't match the appraiser's name at all.

I could say that I was competent at this level.

In particular, there are 85 limit values for steering. This is an unusual number.

Troops led by those with a high level of command are naturally stronger.

It's still a relatively small group of about 50 mercenaries, but it has a high potential.

Then, I tested Rock's abilities, as well as what kind of person he was.

I'm from Anselm. It was a province with an imperial capital.

He says he's from Bangalore County, northwest of Ansel, and that's where the mercenary group got its name from.

Other than that, there was nothing unusual about it, but I was concerned that there were many brothers.

He has five older brothers, one younger brother, two older sisters, and three younger sisters. Including Lock means 12 brothers.

It seems that two older brothers and one younger sister are already outside the world.

It looks like you were born in a rather unusual family.

There may be a connection between the surname he claimed and the surname that appeared on the appraisal. Because there were too many children, they were adopted by other houses.

Well, no matter what, I don't think there's any particular problem.

Then I asked about the contract money.

It was not as expensive as five gold coins a month.

At that price, it is absolutely possible to hire one.

We can't afford to miss this talent.

"I can give you five gold coins a month." I want you to sign a contract with your mercenary group. "

"... are you going to sign me?"

Instead of being happy, Locke had a confused expression on his face.

"Ah, no, I'm sorry." It was a mercenary group with very little track record, so I've been turned down all over the place...... and I'd be really glad if you could sign up. ”

Don't you have much track record? In that case, Rock's talent was high.

It must be the mercenary group we just formed.

“I swear to wield my sword for the House of Rovent as long as my contract lasts.”

Locke bowed his head deeply.

Somehow, it's not very mercenary.

Well, some of the mercenaries, some of the aristocrats, might be wrong.

Thank you very much.

As a result, a contract was signed with the Mercenary Group Bangle.
