What the hell! Andrea wanted to defend himself, saying, "First, we only took 250 pounds. Second, we have to support the team with 250 pounds."
However, he couldn't say this, because it was conceivable that once he came up with these reasons, the other party would be able to shut him up with just one sentence:
It’s none of my business.
I am only responsible for helping you find Fengxim, so I want you to fulfill your promise. As for how much reward you get later, how much cost or profit you make, it is none of my business.
What's worse, the surrounding Spartans also began to talk.
As one of the few large mercenary groups, the Iron Cross certainly has to consider its reputation. If this was in the wilderness, Andrea would not waste any words with him, and it would be good enough if he didn't kill Ask.
However, this is the Laconian Plain, the Spartan city-state, and one of the largest cities on the Cyrene Peninsula. If the rumor that the "Iron Cross Mercenaries cheated us of our pay" got out, and it was spread by the Spartans who were always honest and disdained to lie...
Andrea could almost imagine how the reputation of the Eastern Branch in the Sirius region would plummet.
"Well, in that case, we, the Iron Cross Mercenary Group, will not default on our debt." When Andrea said this, his heart was bleeding. It was not that he was reluctant to part with the 5 pounds, but he had not felt this kind of aggrieved feeling for a long time.
Except for the last time in Stanimaka, when someone robbed the monster and took the loot, and then sent out a message to provoke a fight, causing him and Matthews to be wary of various schemes against each other, and finally completing the mission exhausted.
After counting out coins worth 5 pounds and throwing the purse to Ask, Andrea looked up at the sky indifferently, determined not to say a word to the leader of the Azure Sword.
The next second, the Spartan king on the throne spoke.
"We plan to cooperate with the Blue Sword for this change, so you, the Iron Cross, don't have to worry about it."
Andrea: !!!
He had just decided not to have any more contact with Ask, how come this happened!
As the leader of the Eastern Branch of the Iron Cross, he could not pretend to be deaf and dumb in the face of such a business being robbed. He could only bite the bullet and smile:
"I have no intention of interfering in your country's affairs, but can you please think carefully about this matter? The snow monster on Mount Taygetus can only be dealt with by an experienced transcendent..."
"I think we can work together," Ask added.
Andrea looked at him in surprise.
"As Captain Andrea said, the Iron Cross Mercenaries are powerful and are an indispensable aid to the Spartan city-state in dealing with this sudden change." Ask said tactfully.
The Spartans around were talking to each other in whispers. Because Agesilaus had been easily defeated by the opposing mercenaries before, no Spartan warriors spoke out in opposition. However, judging from their expressions, most of them were still indignant.
The two Spartan kings on the throne understood what Ask meant: The Iron Cross Mercenaries brought so many people with them. Even if you plan to solve the anomaly behind closed doors, as long as they make trouble for you from the sidelines, it will be enough for you to bear.
