1284 times. Protection fee?
The Akerio Mercenary Group is a mid-level mercenary group that is quite well known in the Southern Kingdom.
The leader, Urea, is a baron of the Kingdom of Alvaros and has even served as vice-leader of the Royal Knights.
He was a successful man, but after being stripped of his title on charges of smuggling out magic guns belonging to the Knights Templar, he moved to Bostania and formed the Akerio mercenary group.
Originally, if he was accused of such a crime, he would have to rot in a dungeon for the rest of his life, but there is an unbelievable rumor that he spent money to cover it up to the point of having his title revoked.
Anyway, after founding a mercenary group, he worked hard to increase its size.
At the same time, he did not neglect sword training.
This is because the general sentiment is to entrust a request based on the skill of the mercenary leader.
After becoming a Sword Expert, he recruited Wanderer Blake, a Sword Expert, as his vice-captain.
After that, it was truly a success story.
The vice-captain had a few accidents due to women, but that wasn’t something that happened in the mercenary world.
It was like that until now.
‘what?’
Urrea couldn’t believe the situation he was in.
An ordinary-looking young man suddenly appeared before my eyes, and my body became paralyzed.
It’s not just you.
Vice-captain Blake was just like himself with his eyes narrowed.
I tried my best, but I couldn’t move a single finger.
My heart was pounding and my breathing became difficult because I was so surprised by what I was experiencing for the first time.
“ha! ha! ha!”
A young man’s voice was heard in his ear as he was panting.
“Hey, calm down. Then I will die. Is it a sparrow? “Why are you so impatient?”
At those words, Urea forced herself to calm down.
It’s not that I wasn’t, but I felt like I wouldn’t be able to breathe if I was distracted.
But if it turns out as you think, is that life?
In the end, Urea could not breathe properly and began to croak.
Elio, who was looking at him with a sullen expression, punched Urea in the ear.
‘slam!’ Urea’s face turned around with a snapping sound.
Is it because of an external shock?
Urea, who was just gurgling, exhaled and inhaled little by little.
At that time, ghouls and red-skinned elder ghouls came in, pushing the carriage.
“Big!”
“Krrrrrrr—!”
The eyes of Captain Urea and Vice Captain Blake turned towards the Elder Ghoul.
This is when the two people think to themselves, ‘It’s over.’
“Fabian, Howard, and Mr. Crea are in charge of the ghouls, and Lord Omar is in charge of the red ones.”
As he spoke, Elio pulled out his longsword and threw it straight ahead.
Wedge-!
The longsword flew with a booming sound, pierced the chest of an elder ghoul, and then soared into the sky.
Eventually, the longsword, spinning gently in a semicircle, pierced the chest of another Elder Ghoul and returned to Elio’s hand.
The two elder ghouls with holes in their chests stumbled for a few steps before falling down.
“This should be enough, right?”
Count Larva Omar nodded lightly and ran away like the wind.
A blue beam of light spread out from his powerfully drawn longsword.
Ugh!
It is a mana blade that is exclusive to the sword master.
Director Urea and Vice-Captain Blake widened their eyes when they saw that.
I was dumbfounded because I couldn’t understand the young man’s strange sword skills, but the Mana Blade was different.
I can’t believe I didn’t recognize the Sword Master even though he was right around the corner!
The two people stared at the Sword Master’s back, even forgetting to breathe.
Soon, Count Larva Omar and the Elder Ghoul confronted each other.
Count Larva Omar’s Mana Blade cut down the Elder Ghoul’s body like a flash.
The Elder Ghoul’s skin is said to be as hard as steel, but the Mana Blade
I was helpless in front of him.
Suddenly! Suddenly!
Although both arms were cut off, the Elder Ghoul opened its mouth to bite Count Larva Omar.
“Kyaaa!”
In an instant, the mana blade grazed the ghoul’s neck.
‘Pakak!’ With a sound, the ghoul’s head bounced into the air.
With that momentum, Count Larva Omar attacked the other ghoul.
This time, he aimed for the neck from the beginning, but the ghoul blocked it with both arms.
The result was the same.
The Mana Blade cut off both of the Ghoul’s arms, and finally decapitated him.
Despite their hideous appearance, ghouls are intelligent.
As two more ghouls died in succession, the last elder ghoul turned and ran away.
The moment the Elder Ghoul jumped onto the carriage, Count Larva Omar threw his longsword.
The so-called sword finger technique was used.
Sigh!
The longsword flew through the wind and became lodged in the Elder Ghoul’s back.
But unfortunately, the long sword is ‘tight!’ It bounced back with a sound.
This happened because I couldn’t put enough mana into the long sword.
As Count Larva Omar ate his food with a puzzled expression, Elio’s sword pointer pointed to the longsword that had fallen on the ground.
Whilick-.
The longsword flew up and pierced the back of the Elder Ghoul, who had barely escaped, and flew like a bird and landed in Count Larva Omar’s hand.
Fabian shouted as Count Larva Omar grabbed his longsword.
“Lord Omar! Please help!”
Count Larva Omar immediately ran to Fabian and his group, who were fighting five ghouls.
When Count Larva Omar joined, the fight between humans and ghouls soon ended.
The fight between other mercenaries and ghouls slowly began to come to an end.
After a while, the last ghoul’s head was cut off.
The mercenaries who were cheering soon approached Elio and his group.
As the mercenaries approached, Elio released the leader and vice-leader’s fortune telling.
As soon as Captain Urea and Vice Captain Blake moved, they quickly bowed their heads in front of the young man.
“Save me… … .”
“Please save me!”
Then Elio said:
“Didn’t you say you would protect us? “Then why did you suddenly attack us as if we were going to kill you?”
“… … .”
The two people only rolled their eyes and did not open their mouths.
“You sure didn’t mean to throw it to the ghouls as food?”
“no!”
“Please forgive me!”
Elio looked at the man who said no and asked back.
“No?”
Vice-Captain Blake nodded vigorously.
“Yes, you misunderstand! Absolutely not! “We are humans too. How could we do something like that?”
“I guess you know that’s a bad thing?”
“yes?”
Elio did not answer his question but turned his head to the man who asked for forgiveness.
“Hey, what’s your name?”
“It’s urea.”
“Are you the leader? “Are you the vice-captain?”
“I am the leader, and next to me is the vice leader.”
“The vice-captain said no, so why did you ask for forgiveness?”
Urea lowered his eyes and answered Elio’s question.
“At the time, I thought it was best. Please forgive me.”
Then Vice-Captain Blake intervened.
“What are you talking about? That doesn’t mean… … . Are you really saying that you wanted to use these people as bait? “I’m disappointed in the leader.”
Elio stared at the vice-captain’s face.
I heard the leader explaining his plan to the vice-leader earlier, and he is such a shameless person.
Vice-captain Blake, unaware of this, spoke with an aggrieved expression on his face.
“I and the other mercenaries just did what the leader told us to do.”
Elio chuckled.
It is true that other mercenaries followed the instructions of the leader and vice-leader, but he was different.
“hey. Vice-captain Blake. Where are you going to bury me? Do you think I didn’t hear the conversation you and the leader had earlier? “The conversation they had where they called us idiots and idiots?”
Vice-Captain Blake kept his mouth shut at the young man’s words.
When I saw the leader listing the words he had written, it was clear that I had actually heard them.
After thinking that far, he fell flat in front of the young man.
“Forgive me! From what you say, it certainly seems like that happened! But even then, I just listened to what the leader said! “I swear, this decision was made by the leader alone!”
“Hey, look at this little hair. It seems like something like that happened during this time. “You kicked away your last chance.”
“Well, you were wrong!”
Belatedly, Vice-Captain Blake lowered his head to the ground and prayed.
Elio, who was looking down with indifferent eyes, kicked the vice-captain’s side with his foot.
“Ugh!”
With a heavy groan, Vice-Captain Blake rolled over to the side.
When his body stopped, Vice-Captain Blake hurriedly crawled towards the young man.
And just as he was about to put his head on the ground again, Elio spoke.
“I will forgive you, so disappear from my sight.”
“yes?”
Vice-Captain Blake raised his head.
“Get out of here.”
“Are you telling me to go alone?”
“uh. Go quickly. “If you make me say it twice, I’ll throw you to the ghouls as food.”
“Thank you! thank you!”
Vice-Captain Blake stood up and bowed his head several times.
“Go quickly before I change my mind.”
“Yes, yes.”
Vice-Captain Blake left as if running away without even looking back.
Fabian looked at the vice-captain walking away and said with a sad face.
“You just let a guy like that go… … . Have you changed a lot?”
“Who said they just let it go? That guy will soon lose his Mana Blessing.”
“ah! “Did you give me spiritual energy?”
“of course. “He is a man who is not good at spiritual energy, so I only injected him in a very small amount, so his mana will gradually dry up like a dam with a hole in it.”
“Well done.”
Elio, who looked flattered by Fabian’s praise, soon turned his head to the leader.
“Did you say urea?”
“yes.”
“I was lucky this time. “If you had told me nonsense, you would have ended up in the same situation as the vice-captain.”
“thank you!”
“It’s still too early to say thank you. “You don’t think it will just go away like this, do you?”
“If you will forgive me, I will do whatever you ask.”
“You said you would protect us, right? Even EXO protects us.”
“Yes, yes. “I will.”
Director Urrea answered without a moment of hesitation.
Even though it was a wave situation, Exo would go to attack them if necessary, and there was a sword master among them, so there was no danger.
However, Director Urrea flinched at the young man’s next words.
“But in times like now, when we need to protect you… … . You’ll have to pay us a reasonable fee, right? For example, something like protection fees. what do you think about it?”
“Protection fee? All of this is obvious. “I will give it to you.”
“Each time, settle the payment as the mercenary guild’s standard protection fee. You know how to cheat on expenses, right? “Like the vice-captain, there will be a hole in the mana hole.”
“We will settle the settlement according to the standard! however… … .”
Director Urrea trailed off.
They think that if they use that kind of calculation, they should also receive protection fees.
“But what?”
Elio stared at Director Urrea with indifferent eyes.
Urea was nervous, but took courage because the mercenary group could fail.
“Our Akerio mercenary group… … . Gulp, won’t you guys be protected?”
“so?”
As Elio asked repeatedly, Fabian intervened.
“I think they also want to get their protection fees paid. By mercenary guild standards.”
“That’s not true. They unilaterally said they would protect us even though we didn’t want it. is not it? Mr. Urea? Did I just make up a sound that doesn’t exist? Or did you just pause for a moment and say something like a dog eating grass? Which one? “If you have a mouth, say something!”
Director Urrea responded to Elio’s fiery shout with a crawling sound.
“I was confused for a moment. We forgot we said we would protect you. “We will do our best to serve EXO as well.”
