In February, the sun is shining.

The winter is gradually coming to an end. Although the cold wind is still biting, the coldest period of the year has passed, and the increasingly larger leaf buds have been seen on the branches of the trees.

Border Territory, Maple Leaf City.

The reconstruction work in the future of God's wrath is still continuing.

Logically speaking, after various situations, the original planned auction eventually caused miscarriage due to various reasons. In this case, Maple Leaf City should have been deserted for a while, but the facts are the opposite.

The whole city seemed to be more lively. The bars on the streets and alleys were filled with mercenaries with their backs and bears, and tents were set up on the open space outside the city.

That belongs to mercenaries.

These mercenaries came one after another after hearing the black dragon hunting mission issued by Border Bo.

300,000 pounds of gold...

For any mercenary group, this is not a small number.

This reward is enough to attract any professional below the advanced level to participate.

Standing on the walls of Maple Leaf City, looking out, you can see that there are thousands of tents on the open open space. Roughly, it is estimated that the number of mercenaries participating in this mission will probably exceed 5,000.

It can be said that almost all the Maple Leaf Corps and the active mercenaries around arrived.

It was precisely the influx of these mercenaries that made the caravans who were planning to return home due to miscarriage at the auction see business opportunities again.

The existence of mercenaries is very active in the Seges continent.

They are at least a group of dozens of people, and at most a group of thousands of people. They rely on taking on various mercenary tasks or hunting monsters for a living during peacetime, but during wartime, they will transform themselves, accept the employment of noble lords, and transform into mercenary troops.

Of course, many mercenaries sometimes play guest appearances as robbers or bandits, eating up some poor unlucky guys.

It can be said that this is a gray profession with high risks and great returns in Segs.

Many mercenaries are professions, and no matter how bad they are, they are apprentices. Although their income is unstable, once they complete a task, they will have a considerable amount of money.

Most mercenaries will choose to spend it as soon as possible after receiving the commission.

After all... this profession is also a high-risk profession. In the world of Seges, which has extraordinary power, the mortality rate of mercenaries is even higher than that of the professional armies of various human countries. It is almost everyone's general knowledge to spend money if you have money.

Unless you are old and unable to do it, you will save a pound that can support your retirement in the last few years when you are rich in experience and still have physical strength. The mercenaries will hardly save money.

Therefore, for the caravans, there are unlimited business opportunities where the mercenaries gather.

At this time, many caravans who came to Maple Leaf City were very grateful to the black dragon who had never been masked, which was said to be extremely evil.

All major caravans were moving in mercenary camps, selling their own goods, and making a lot of money.

Of course, Amway Trading Company, which had not long been settled in Maple Leaf City, also joined the feast. Some cheap and exquisite second-hand equipment they sold were very popular among mercenaries.

The people in this chamber of commerce are kind-hearted, speak nicely, and have cheap goods. Soon they got into a group with the mercenaries and talked about everything.

At this moment, at the gate of Maple Leaf City, several figures wearing armor or housekeeper's uniforms were gathering together to talk about something.

"His Excellency Cairns, Ms. Cynthia, I'll ask you for this mission of hunting the black dragon. If it weren't for the Earl's busy killing the cultists who were active in the territory recently, I would have taken the White Feng Knight with him."

The person who spoke was an old man dressed as a housekeeper, who was the great housekeeper of Border Bo. At this moment, he looked at a man and a woman in front of him with a sincere expression.

"Don't worry, I guarantee that with the reputation of the Britta Mercenary Group, we will successfully complete the lord's commission and capture the evil black dragon alive."

The male warrior in armor standing opposite the old housekeeper said.

He is tall and strong, with a beard and a big shield on his back, with a hint of evil spirit and pride in his eyes.

Cairns Britta, the leader of the Britta Mercenary Corps, a silver shield warrior.

Because it is on the border, there are many mercenary groups active in Maple Leaf Corps and around.

The Bretta Mercenary Group is the largest mercenary group active on the border. The entire group has more than 3,000 people. There are only seven strong men who have reached the silver!

Not to mention, the leader Cairns Britta himself has the strength to be on the top of the silver!

It can be said that this mercenary group occupied three-fifths of the mercenaries attracted here, and their high-end combat power was even more crushing, making other mercenary groups look ahead.

"Haha, our Owl Mercenary Group will also cooperate with Lord Cairns."

After Cairns finished speaking, a charming female voice came from beside him.

It was a female warrior who looked about thirty years old, dressed in a charming manner.

She was wearing bold and exposed clothes, wearing light armor, carrying a bent bow on her back, and was standing beside Cairns, constantly loathing at him.

Cynthia Bahrain.

She is the leader of the Owl Mercenary Group, and the Owl Mercenary Group is also the second largest mercenary group in the nearby area, just from the Bretta Mercenary Group.

Their group had more than 1,500 people, and three strong men with strength reached the silver level, leaving Maple Leaf Leader's third-ranked crocodile mercenary group far behind.

Cynthia herself is a silver hunter.

This time, the mission of hunting the black dragon will attract two major mercenary groups active around the Maple Leaf Leader.

They are the main force in hunting the black dragon this time!

The reason why so many mercenaries were gathered is because everyone knows that every giant dragon that builds a nest, even a minor black dragon, cannot be treated as a black dragon alone.

The dragons are all keen on raising some relatives or vassal races to protect their nests or serve them.

The encirclement and suppression of the giant dragon is not only facing the dragon itself, but also its dependent race.

So... a certain number of people is necessary.

The wealth symbolized by the dragon, and the dragon's family race is also a fat sheep.

If you can really successfully hunt the black dragon, you will not only get huge profits, but also greatly enhance the reputation of the mercenary group.

Of course... Border Bo said he didn't want the property of the Black Dragon, which was also the basis for the two mercenary groups that usually disliked each other to decide to cooperate.

For any of their mercenary groups, it is difficult to fight against a black dragon that has reached the silver superiority.

However, if the two mercenary groups combined, there is hope.

In addition to the two mercenary groups, there are also some scattered mercenaries and bounty hunters.

They also followed the team, intending to get a share of the pie in the hunting of the black dragon.

These people do not ask for rewards for hunting the black dragon. As long as they make a fortune in the process of encircling and suppressing the dragon's affiliated race, they will be very satisfied.

Seeing the statements of the two mercenary corps leaders, the old housekeeper was very satisfied. He waved his hand, and dozens of people wearing hoods were suspected of being mages walked out of the city.

"Haha, although the Earl cannot participate in this operation, he will send some mages from our Maple Leaf Leadership Mage Group to follow everyone. They are all powerful Black Iron Mages, very good at healing, and maybe they can help you in your actions."

The old butler said with a smile.

The two mercenary corps leaders heard this and their eyes lit up.

A mage who is good at healing is quite rare!

Not to mention, the mercenary group is already short of spell casters.

And these dozens of mages who are good at healing will undoubtedly reduce the casualties of this operation.

It can be said that the support of the Border Bo made them very satisfied.

"Then thank you MP Count."

The two team leaders gave a slight salute.

"This is what we should do, I wish both of you a successful hunt!"

The old housekeeper said with a smile.

The two sides chatted for a while and then left.

The preliminary work has been done almost. For this hunting mission, they have been resting in Maple Leaf City for three days.

Now, it's time to set off.

Not good! The second update is about to be released in the middle of the night! Let's go to bed first and see tomorrow morning.
Chapter completed!
