"Actually, it doesn't matter whether you have a gun or not." Ask said, "Skeletons are afraid of close combat, ghosts are afraid of spells, vampires are afraid of sieges, and corpse wizards are afraid of sniping. Guns are only somewhat effective against corpse wizards, and they must be sniper rifles with high firing rate and high penetration. Ordinary guns can't hit them."
"You're wrong." The leading Bull Mercenary shook his head and raised his finger, saying, "All undead, regardless of race, are most afraid of..."
He deliberately drew out the sound, waiting for Ask to ask what it was.
However, Ask did not ask, but just folded his arms and looked at him strangely, so the bull mercenary became a little angry and said:
"The undead only fear Macho."
Ask:
Macho, a dialect of the Iberian Peninsula, has a very vivid meaning when translated into Chinese, which is "**".
"The undead are only afraid of the flesh." The bull mercenary showed off his muscular arms as if to demonstrate, and said, "Whether it is a skeleton, a ghost, a vampire or a corpse witch, only the real flesh can defeat them."
"Look at your toothpick-thin arms. Can you hold up a big sword? Can you lift a shield? Even if a skeleton is placed here, can you chop it? Can you withstand the opponent's attack and not be chopped to death?"
"It sounds like you have a lot of experience in dealing with the undead." Ask smiled slightly, "I have no problem using either a greatsword or a shield. Perhaps I can join you?"
Of course, he also knew the nature of the noble lords in this world, and they would definitely look down on mercenaries.
For example, Hira's grandfather Apirius once said that mercenary service was a career with no future. They had to wander around the world without a fixed place to stay, relying on wars in various places to make a living. Sooner or later, they would be unacceptable to local lords.
The lords only regard mercenaries as a temporary source of military reinforcement. Once the military construction in the territory is complete, they will regard mercenaries as a serious threat to public security... This statement can be said to be very insightful.
Since the Bull Mercenary Group just said that the city lord is currently only recruiting noble knights from all over the country to provide support, his attitude has been clearly expressed to the outside world:
The city of Valencia is now strong enough to protect itself and has not yet fallen to the point where it needs to rely on mercenaries as its main military force.
Therefore, even if the Blue Sword had the certificate from the Church, it would not be able to gain any benefit if it went to see the city lord. You know, the Bull Mercenary Group was also a support force appointed by the Church! However, from the tone of the Bull Mercenary, it seemed that he was also very resentful towards the city lord and the knights, so it was obvious what happened.
The Bull Mercenary Group's team didn't know that the strange man in front of them had guessed the political situation in Valencia after just a few words with them. When they heard him say that he wanted to join the Bull Mercenary Group, they immediately put on airs.
"We, the Bull Mercenary Group, are only willing to recruit capable mercenaries at the moment. You said you are good at using a sword and a shield? We don't believe that. Mercenaries rely on weapons to make a living. Show us how to use some weapons first."
Then a bull mercenary stepped forward and stabbed the heavy sword on his back into the ground. Another mercenary also stepped out and threw down a tower shield as tall as his body, which hit the ground with a loud bang.
