Chapter 07: The Mission Comes to the Door

Moral is now the chief manager of the mercenary group. He is in charge of the logistics and finance that Randall was in charge of before.

After graduating from Blood Yao Academy, Moral became a jazz lord, and then his father Leslie planned to let him take over the family's salt business.

Moral was very excited at first, thinking of making a great contribution in family business. What he didn't know was that he had been practicing his temperament in recent years with Arthur, and asked him to stay in a store to watch the shop purchase, sell, and inventory every day. After a long time, he polished all his patience. He threw all his cultivation and the business in the store aside, and found a group of former friends who had eaten, drink, play and live a day. Old Leslie was helpless.

What brought Moral from this drunken and dreamy day was that one day he suddenly received a letter from Arthur. Thinking of Arthur, Moral felt that his life had motivation and hope. Without any hesitation, Moral greeted his father and hurried from the royal city to Huaores.

"Brother, I received a big business." Moral rushed to Arthur in three steps in two steps. Because he had been used to managing the business in the store, Moral was still used to calling mercenary tasks to do business.

Arthur glanced at Moral, "Don't be so excited. There are only suitable tasks for mercenaries, and there is no so-called big business, because the higher the reward, the greater the risk. Tell me, what tasks?"

"The escort mission, escorting a batch of goods from the Ublin mining area in the Orlando Mountains back to Huaores City, with a reward of two thousand gold coins."

"Two thousand gold coins are also considered to be a task with a higher reward. Did you take it from the mercenary union? Or did the employer come to the door directly?" Arthur was not concerned about the task itself.

Moral said proudly: "It is all my credit for the mercenary group to take on this task. The stone supplier I met when building this yard. Their family has a small magic crystal mine in the Ublin mining area. When I drank with him before, I said that we were the strongest mercenary group in Huaores, so this time the escort business came to us."

"In other words, the task entrusted by the other party this time is to escort the magic crystal transport convoy back to Huaores?"

"Well, they said that the area in the mining area has not been very peaceful recently, so they spent a high price to hire a B-class mercenary group."

Arthur's eyes turned, "He came to the door with the initiative, clearly stated the risk of the task, and gave a high reward. The other party calculated that this was a task that we could not refuse. It seemed that some people could finally not help it."

"Are you saying there is something wrong with this task?" Joan and Moral were both smart people, and they reacted with just one sentence from Arthur.

"The mission itself should be fine, but someone will find a way to create problems for us."

"Then we won't take this task anymore. We can't jump in even though we know it's a trap?" Moral got up and was about to go out.

Arthur grabbed Moral, "No, you told the employer that we have taken this task with Blue Evil, but we have to go to the Mercenary Union to register a task."

"I knew there was a tiger in the mountain and was moving upwards?" Qiong looked at Arthur in confusion.

Arthur sneered with a calm face and said, "If we are scared by this mission, the information will spread throughout the city the next day. In the future, the mercenary group will not be stuck in Hua'ores. In addition, if we don't give the other party a chance, they will not jump out on their own initiative."

......

Eight years later, Arthur stepped into the Orlando Mountains again, feeling infinite emotion.

Eight years ago, I was the smallest mercenary in the mercenary group, with old mercenaries such as Cairns, Tony, Angus on it. Eight years later, I became the leader of the mercenary group. Can I take care of every brother below like Cairns? What's more, there are brothers who are completely unrestrained.

The first time entering the mountain, the people of Joan, Torun, and the Ten Princess were extremely excited. A wild fox jumped out of the bushes, and Torun immediately chased after him; a nightingale flew out of the woods, and the Ten Princess raised an arrow and shot it; the elf Elanie ran over to pick it when she saw the gorgeous wild flowers in the grass.

These people did not have the mercenary's awareness of being vigilant. They did not come to take on the mission. They were clearly coming to the mountains to hunt and travel. Arthur was so angry that he sighed repeatedly, which made the old mercenaries in the team completely stunned.

Arthur had to stop immediately and set rules for everyone with a stern face, and assign responsibilities according to each person's abilities, without ordering anyone not to leave the team.

When he set up such a team, all the precautions and mercenary codes of conduct Arthur had to start from scratch one by one. He exhausted Arthur. After three days of marching in the mountains, the Blue Apes almost had the same appearance as a mercenary group.

On the seventh day after entering the mountains, the mercenary group officially entered the Ublin mining area.

The Orlando Mountains stretch for nearly a thousand kilometers. Not only are the forests and vegetation dense and rich in resources in the mountains, but there are also a large number of rare minerals hidden under the mountains. Among them, the Ublin mining area located in the middle of the mountain range has the richest reserves of various mineral resources.

Although the Orlando Mountains are rich in minerals, mining and transportation are extremely difficult. On the one hand, there are various beasts and many monsters in the mountains, and the gathering of miners often attracts attacks from hunting monsters. On the other hand, because the mountains are located in the junction of humans and beasts, there is no order at all. Orc army and hunting teams often launch cross-border attacks. The mining area with abundant income is naturally the main target of orc attacks. Even if you can avoid the attacks of orcs, you must be careful of the bandits who are rampant on the human race when digging out the minerals and transporting them out.

These factors intertwined, making the Ublin mining area a place in the mountains where high risks and high returns coexist. There are not many people who really dare to come here to take risks in mining.

The Joplin family, the employer who commissioned Blue Ape, took the risk of organizing miners to mine in the mining area because they accidentally discovered a highly valuable magic crystal mine in the mining area. If the magic crystal collected here can be transported out smoothly, the cost will be five times the profit.

Arthur led the mercenary group to the agreed location with the employer in the mining area. There was a jointman arranged by the Joplin family waiting there. He was a middle-aged man in his forties and could not see his specific strength.

The man was a little surprised when he saw Arthur and Blue Ape's mercenary, "Why did your mercenary group bring such a few people?"

In the first mission, Arthur only left Moral with five mercenaries to guard the house, and all the remaining people who could be brought out were brought out. In this way, there were only eighteen people in total, which was indeed a bit shabby for a B-level mercenary group.

Regarding the middle-aged man's doubts, Arthur just replied lightly: "Our mercenary group signed an agreement with your Joplin family. We are responsible for escorting your goods to the place safely. As for how many mercenaries come, it is up to us to decide. If an accident occurs halfway, the mercenary group will compensate according to the agreement."

The middle-aged man had no idea what to say about this, so he had to say, "You guys are waiting here, I'll arrange the truck."

In the mining area, the location of the mine cave is also an important secret for the owner, and mercenaries will not enter the mine. The middle-aged man will load the mined minerals and transport them directly to the agreed location with the mercenary group. Generally speaking, the distance will not be too far from the mine cave.

The middle-aged man left for half a day before he returned with four full beast cars, each with a coachman and the Joplin family's own escort.

Arthur counted all the goods in front of the middle-aged man, and inside were boxes of rough magic crystal rough stones. It really reached the level of daily inlay of magic arrays and equipment, and it still needed further polishing and refining.

But even if these four cars of roughly refined magic crystals are transported out, they are worth at least 20,000 gold coins. The Joplin family paid 2,000 gold coins at 10% of the escort fee.

Arthur and the middle-aged man signed the handover order, and after both sides kept one, the Blue Ape Mercenary Group guarded the four trucks and embarked on the road back.

No one knows what was waiting for Arthur and the newly formed Blue Ape Mercenary Group?
