The mercenary union in Clark City is not only open to human knights, but also magicians like Thane can join it, accept tasks, and earn relevant rewards.

Of course, the magicians who join are basically at the apprentice level.

Those who are officially magicians or above rarely join this kind of organization that is purely about earning rewards.

Magicians value knowledge more.

If a small organization has an exciting private library, even a formal magician of level two or above will be attracted by it and consider joining it.

Knowledge is priceless.

Sitting in a corner of the hotel enjoying food, Thain didn't want to pay attention to the few powerful knights, including the mercenary captain who had the strength of an intermediate knight's attendant. Thain was no longer interested.

Because before arriving in Clark City, Thane had already teamed up with Owl Qi to capture an intermediate servant-level bandit alive on the road and dissect him for study.

The power of fighting spirit in the bodies of mid-level servants is higher than that of low-level servants, and the changes in their body muscle fibers are also greater.

This method of promotion, which uses the power of fighting spirit to beat the body and push the body beyond its limits, makes magic apprentices like Thain look at it and become curious.

Compared to the physical toil and constant training of knights, magicians are more focused on the in-depth exploration of the brain and mental power.

Take Thain as an example. His current physical strength is still over 10 points, but his mental strength is already over 50 points.

Thain didn't want to pay attention to those knights, but the voices of those knights were really too loud.

And what these knights talked about next gradually made Thain more interested, so that his brows were not as wrinkled as they were at the beginning.

A war broke out between the Kingdom of Western France and the Oak Empire to the north of Clark City. This was the third time in the past twenty years that a war had broken out between two human kingdoms.

In fact, the three human kingdoms north of the Underdark have always had wars and frictions with each other.

Not to mention, just two years ago, another human country, the Lycian Alliance, also had border friction with the Orc Empire.

The Orc Empire, the Kingdom of Western France, and the Lycian League are the three human kingdoms north of the Underdark.

Their overall strength ranking is also ranked first in the Oak Empire, second in the Kingdom of Western France, and third in the Lycian League.

There is no doubt that the Orc Empire is powerful, and it is even said that they have tamed a group of sub-dragon knights.

There are some explanations for the second and third rankings of the Kingdom of Western France and the Lycian League.

In fact, the overall territory of the Lycian League is larger than that of the Kingdom of Western France, including its population and the number of legions. It is also larger than the Kingdom of Western France.

However, the Lycian Alliance is a system of many lords. Although there is a nominal leader of the alliance, in fact the leader, the Grand Duke, cannot control all the lords.

Especially the slightly more remote lords will not pay attention to the overall planning of the Lycian Alliance.

Therefore, under the premise that the entire alliance structure is relatively loose, the overall strength of the Lycian Alliance is slightly weaker than that of the Kingdom of Western France, which has a relatively concentrated power.

In the past few decades, in most cases, the Kingdom of Western France and the Lycian League worked together to face the pressure of the Orc Empire.

It is said that the Kingdom of Western France also had its glory even longer ago. At that time, it was called the Western French Empire. There are still books and biographies of that era circulating to this day.

I just don’t know why, but the Western French Empire suddenly declined one day and gradually evolved into today’s Western French Kingdom.

Thain heard all this news from the loud mercenary knights in the hotel.

This information is also very important to Thane, because it will determine which human country he will go to next.

"The Lycian League should be relatively stable at present, and it is also my first choice to go to the north."

"However, according to the war practices in previous years and the long-standing border friction between the Lycian Alliance and the Oak Empire, it will be a matter of time before the Lycian Alliance joins the war."

"I hope I won't happen to catch up with the melee between the Three Kingdoms." Thain said with a sigh.

It was also from those loud-voiced mercenaries that Thain learned that the war between the three human kingdoms of the Lycian Alliance, the Oak Empire and the Kingdom of West France did not seem to involve the participation of strong men above the first level.

Because one of the most talkative mercenaries, the strongest person he said was only a quasi-knight.

A knight's attendant at this level is as powerful as a quasi-magician.

There were many magical powers that appeared in the Three Kingdoms War, but these magicians seemed to be magic apprentices, and there was no trace of formal magicians participating.

"There must be formal or above-level magicians in the north. The number of formal magicians in the Jade Origin Holy Tower is not too small, let alone other magician organizations."

"As for why there are no first-level magicians participating in the wars between these human kingdoms, there must be other secrets or considerations." Thain thought to himself.

…

After resting for three days in Clark City, Thain set off for the north.

Since there is currently a war breaking out in the north, Thain may encounter some trouble just on the border if he goes alone.

Therefore, Thain chose to attach himself to a small and medium-sized mercenary group, and went to the Lycian Alliance in the north with these mercenaries.

Although there is currently a war breaking out in the north, there are more and more mercenary missions there, and the rewards are rich.

Whether it's material transportation or personnel escort, the mercenary union has a lot of tasks every day for these knights who lick blood on the knife's edge to choose from.

Some mercenaries are not strong enough, so they are unwilling to go to the north to take chances at this time.

Some powerful mercenaries who have cultivated fighting spirit regard this war as a good opportunity to make a fortune.

Every time a war breaks out between the three human kingdoms, it will represent the decline of a group of old nobles and the rise of some new nobles.

Mercenary knights generally have crude ideas. They are not as interested in truth and elemental mysteries as magicians like Thane.

Getting promoted, getting rich, and enjoying beautiful women are the lifelong pursuits of these rough guys.

If they can show their face in the war and be rewarded as a noble, then they will also become a noble master that everyone envies.

The mercenary group that Thain belongs to has a total of twenty people, and its size can only be described as medium to low. This time it went to the Lycian Alliance, mainly to transport a batch of food and iron tools.

Not everyone in the mercenary group has cultivated fighting spirit, and mastering fighting spirit requires a threshold.

According to Thain's contact and chat with the mercenary group leader, those newcomers who have not practiced fighting spirit must have worked in the mercenary group for seven years before the group leader will personally give them fighting spirit seeds and related training methods.

In the mercenary group of more than 20 people, there are only seven people who have mastery of fighting spirit, including the leader himself.
