Chapter 9: Deal


Under the light of the golden lion, almost everyone looked dull. Not only because of his face, that looked like the sun god, but also because of his outstanding life experience, the excellent strength, and also the king's demeanour, bringing the feeling of spring breeze in people's heart.

Behind Orpheus, there was a person submerged in black flame, waiting in silent anticipation. Even the golden lion’s light couldn't cover up the burning anticipation in the face. 

The face in the flame was clear and cold, and people dare not stare but it was engraved in their heart.

 When some of the noble debauchees sneaked a peek from time to time, they would look away hurriedly as if they were burned by the black flame. 

The black mage robes could not hide Erika’s body, her straight legs, rich hips, slender waist, with the soul-stirring curved bulge chest, all the while, turning people turning into beasts.



Rogge, Lawrence, Franco and Emmett's were sitting in a cramped manner, and the sudden visit of the Golden Lion was a surprise.

A few people rushed to greet Orpheus, prepared the seat and called to bring the best of the refreshments.

……………………….

The Gold Lion sipped tea and there was no blemish it his leisurely movements.

A guard opened a small pouch and poured out dozens of small gems of various colours on the table in front of the group.

 “I have come here to talk about the possibility of a partnership,” Orpheus smiled and said.

“These gems are worth around 50,000 Gold, and as my deposit.” The room suddenly fell quiet. “These gems are worth about 50,000 gold coins, as my deposit.”

Rogge finally took his eyes off the gems and calmed down his mood and said: "Matter that you could not handle, there is a low probability that we could accomplish.”

No sooner had the words came out of his mouth, Lawrence rushed up to Rogge, and pounced to cover Rogge’s mouth: “ Don’t mind him, if you have any matter, please say freely to me and I Lawrence despite any dangers and difficulties shall not refuse!” Even though the mouth was fervent, his eyes were actually staring at Erika.

Orpheus was looking around the room, especially at those noble debauchees with great interest, and had not found anyone dared to stare at Erika in such fascination, ignorant are really fearless. In the eyes of a few people, Lawrence was beginning to show his amorous glow. Orpheus clearly felt that the murderous aura behind him was spreading.

…………………………………….

“Of course, my cooperation is also conditional.” Orpheus made a gesture and a person behind him spread a large map of sheepskin on the table.

He reached out and pointed to a castle sign in the centre and said, “This is an abandoned small castle, in the territory of my Bavarian Duchy, recently is occupied by a group of thieves.

“This castle is 415 miles southwest of Fort Farborg. Next, to the castle not less than 10 miles is a magic forest. Although the geographical location is not important, there are two small towns and dozens of villages nearby, I do not want to give up my thousands of people, so I need you to take back the castle.”

“These gems worth 50,000 gold coins are your starting expenses. As for whether you are going by yourself or take a heavy knight brigade, I don’t care. However, the commission period is half a year.”

Orpheus added, “As long as you capture that castle, I will have my father seal that land to you.  Then you will be the noble with the land. Moreover, I will invest 100,000 gold coins in the "Hammer of War God", as an investment. Of course, I would want 50% of the profits. Haha.”

A few people were so excited that they immediately surrounded and began to study the map. They studied the map for a long time, but naturally, they could not figure out anything. 

Orpheus smiled and looked at it, a guard behind him faintly revealed his disdain.

……………………………..

At this, Emmett suddenly looked up and asked, "We do not have a single soldier, and how do you expect us to defeat a group of thieves group? Ah, yes, how many thieves are there, is there any relevant information?”

 “You just remembered to ask about the information now?” Erika said coldly, hearing this, Emmet immediately flushed red.

 "Those thieves are actually a brigade of Silver Snow Fox  Mercenary group of Rowen Duchy,” Orpheus unhurriedly answered. “They are about 500 people, and their battle prowess is very good.  Of course, in the past six months, there is the possibility of them continuing to increase troops.”

Rogge pondered for a moment and asked: “These thieves or, mercenary, even though they were good, but they should not be anything in the eyes of the golden lion, if you personally go there alone, then,  it is enough to scare them away.”

 "This is just a small test. If you do well, I hope that the Grand Duchy of Bavaria can have a few more loyal generals,” Gold Lion smiled and said.

…………….

"The Duchy of Bavaria?" the pupil in the eyes of Franco immediately shrank.

"Yes, the Duchy of Bavaria.”

There was a sharp decrease of temperature in the air, the quiet undercurrent surging.

"Duchy of Bavaria has fine foot soldiers, strong and fast like a cloud. That is, Your Excellence Orpheus, have many subordinates to pick up for this work and you are picking up us?" Lawrence said with rare serious tone. 

"Although several of us do not make every effort to succeed very much, we have this self-knowledge about us. Also, we brothers do not have any great ambitions, drink every day, play with the girls and having a comfortable life. You are not lacking in staff, for you to expect us as manpower, right?”

…………………..

Orpheus scanned several nobles debauchee, and said “I really appreciated you in the ‘Oak Grove’ Pub, and thought that you have the capability in you. 

Moreover, only in a short period of time, the ‘hammer of war god’ has become prosperous; naturally, it was not without efforts." “Governing a large country is like cooking a big fish. Its big to manage the world, and small to manage a weapon shop, for both it is nothing more than to grasp the human heart."

“Life is just a few dozens of years, living with the best wine, equipped with a famous sword, being jealous by all, he paused for a moment and continued, but 

also to fight for a  beautiful woman in the world." "Now imagine, women, if there were thousands of them with an alluring smile? Now as long as you pass this small test, the opportunity is in front of you. What do you think?"

Suddenly everyone was excited!

Rogge suddenly raised his head and stared into the eyes of the golden lion, even though the light stung his eyes he did not retreat.

"I will do it" Rogge slowly said one word after another.

"Rogge, "Franco sighed. "How can I just let you go to your death alone? I have to get your money back after you die."

"Beauty is the joy all over the world!" Lawrence was was in full swing. Immediately hormones filled the room.

Emmet who was sitting in a chair, in a posture, However, the chair could not withstand it and gave away, splitting into two. Emmet smiled, embarrassed to say anything.

"So, I will wait for the good news.” Orpheus waved his hand, turned and left.

Erika suddenly stopped in her track and stared coldly at the debauchees. Several people immediately felt chills, and started to shiver but found that they were unable to move their body.

Erika sneered, the black flame flashed, and several noble debauchees' bodies were slowly raised in the air. The cold voice sounded in their ear: “I don’t know why Orpheus values you so much. With your current strength, you are no more different than a reptile. Even after a few years, how strong can you become? Then again, you few clowns, you dared to look at me with those kinds of eyes!” 

They did not hear her chanting but in front of four head, there suddenly appeared a large hand, and they were very heavily slammed to the ground.

Erika turned and left, and the black flame jumped as if it was laughing at the people crawling on the ground.

……………………

People slowly started to be calmed down and looked at each other.

“Rogge, just why did you promise so fast?” Emmet asked.

Rogge's face was red. “Orpheus, is the real power, one of the best in the league."

"He is from one of the great noble families in the Alliance, and it is also said that there is a waiting period of five days to visit him. And it is rare to see that such a person has a liking for us, and how can we miss such an opportunity to curry favours.”

Others too felt the same way.

As for possible treason of Orpheus, Rogge and others didn't care, if they really rebel, the Bavarian Duchy had a greater chance of winning. After all, 

Orpheus’s mother was the sister of the emperor of Austro-Hunagry, one of the three powerful countries. 

"Maybe we can also become a founding hero or something like that," Lawrence said suddenly while daydreaming of grandeur. Every one began to contemplate deeply. As for Keith, "Bliss, we can escape this kid. " Emmett insidiously said.

"The more people we bring this time, the better. I think we should also organize a mercenary group, such force are good for such things," Franco suggested. 

They reconsidered their plan and split up for the action. 

…………………..

As the days passed, Rogge and the company began the recruiting, preparing for war. Since the inception of "Hammer of War God", the shop has gotten the profit of more than 20,000 gold coins, and with the 50,000 gold coins given by Orpheus, they can equip a troop of hundred people. After testing capable mercenary or out of boredom, Rogge hired 30 skilled mercenaries in a month, thus a preliminary mercenary corps was organized. 

As for the name of the mercenary group, the group kept on bickering and at the end of the day finally passed the name of "Dragon and Beauty" with 4:1 vote. The one vote against the name was of Franco, the only one of the few who had a real artistic taste, but unfortunately, the power of a lone person was not enough.

But what frustrated Rogge was the intelligence. So far the bandit group that occupied the small castle, their specific number, their leader, the ability, the equipment was not clear. Even the terrain near the castle was not very clear. This was not to blame them; after all, the guys just debuted in this scenario and didn't know where to start to engage in intelligence gathering. After the two scouts sent to the scene had no news, they began to feel restless and fidgety. After several deliberations, they finally decided to bring all the people to scout once.
