"????" None of the three people knew why.
"All the soldiers under my command are good boys." Tamro lowered his head and continued: "They have parents, lovers, and maybe some have children, but because of the war with the southerners, they left their homes without looking back. , embarked on the battlefield. As a commander, my mission is to hold on to this fortress, but in my opinion, it is more important to cherish the lives of every soldier under my command. Stoke’s elite team is indeed too much for them. It is too powerful. If troops are sent to encircle and suppress it, it is estimated that at least two hundred people will be killed. But if you go, you may be in danger, but I believe it will not be serious. So, maybe it is selfish to do this, and maybe it is not good for you. It’s unfair, but I still ask you to help us complete this task.”
"..." Kordak was silent. He was not a heartless person, and he could also see that Tamro was not acting now. However, this task was indeed risky for Vera. Therefore, he was still prepared to refuse.
But Tamro obviously saw Kordak's reluctance. He left the desk directly and bowed deeply to the three Regners. Although he didn't say anything, the pleading look on his face was beyond words.
"..." The three people were silent at this moment. They did not expect that the supreme commander of Costa Fortress would put down his identity and come to beg the three of them in person. who is he? He is a general of the empire, the highest commander guarding one side, and now, he has come to beg these three mercenaries? For a moment, Regnar and the three of them felt extremely complicated.
"You don't have to do this, you..." Kordak said reluctantly. Although Tamro had already done this, Vera's position in his heart was unshakable. If he could exchange the lives of hundreds of people for Vera's safety, he would do it without hesitation. Therefore, he still had to refuse.
"I have to do this." Tamro said in a deep voice: "If my gift can save the lives of two hundred of my men, then even if I am given a hundred chances, I will choose this way."
"..." Kordak thought repeatedly about what should be the most reasonable way to refuse.
But at this moment, Vera spoke: "Promise him..."
"Bitch, shut up!" Kordak turned his head and said urgently: "Don't think this is child's play, this mission is too dangerous for you!"
"Have I held you back again?" A bitter smile appeared on Vera's lips: "I know, in fact, the reason you don't accept this task is entirely because of me."
"Because this mission is indeed dangerous." Kordak did not give in at all.
"Which of our missions was not dangerous?" Vera asked back: "We have even survived the crisis like the Eye of the Secret Magic, how could we still fail on such a small mission? Moreover, there are you and Xiao Lei in the team. , I believe I am safe.”
"No, I'm not worried!" Kordak still objected.
"Kordak!" Vera shouted: "You also remember what I said, right? Not only do you want to grow up, Xiao Lei wants to grow up, but I also want to grow up! I don't want to be someone who will always hide under your wings. Useless woman! I don’t want to hold everyone back! I also want to become stronger! You can’t protect me all the time in this life!”
"..." Kordak was shocked by Vera's strength. Although Vera has always been a very strong woman, the momentum she showed just now was far different from before. That's not coquettishness or unreasonableness because a good man doesn't fight with women, but real strength and self-confidence. Vera has definitely changed.
"Believe me once, and also give me a chance, okay?" Vera said seriously.
"..." Kordak stared at Vera for a long time, and then suddenly laughed: "No problem! General Tamro, we will take over this mission!"
Several people discussed the specific matters of the mission again, and then Kordak left with Regner and others. They promised to make preparations today and leave early tomorrow morning.
In addition, Regnar also specifically asked Tamro to help take care of Irene who stayed here. To be honest, with the weak temperament of the half-elf girl, Regna really didn't feel comfortable leaving her alone in such a military fortress. Tamro also agreed seriously and promised to always send a soldier to protect her secretly.
After hearing the promise from the supreme commander of Fortress Costa, Regnar finally relaxed and left the office with Kordak.
"Why are you being so disrespectful to these mercenaries? They are just a group of lowly people who sell their lives for money. They don't deserve the respect of professional soldiers like you." After Kordak and the other three left, Gao Master Mage said with some dissatisfaction.
"Sir, you don't know. These people are all real warriors." Tamro said.
"oh?"
"Perhaps you have never been to Lance Continent, so you don't know the situation there, but I have had several interactions with people from Lance Continent when the empire was developing its eastern expansion." Tamro said: "The secret method at that time The Eye is the largest guild in the human world of Lance continent. Moreover, it may even be the largest guild in the world."
"I wonder how it compares to our Imperial Court Mage Association?" the senior mage asked proudly.
"Stronger than the Court Mage Association." Tamro said in a direct manner unique to soldiers: "Even now, the number of high-level mages in the Court Mage Association is less than ten, while at that time there were fourteen high-level mages of the Secret Eyes. people."
"..." The high-level mage's face turned ugly. He didn't expect that the guild in the remote area of Lance continent could gather so many high-level mage. These great mages with magic rings are not just cabbages on the street. It is not easy to have even one more. And now it seems that the number of high-level mages with Mysterious Eyes is about half more than that of the Palace Mage Association? The strength of this guild must not be underestimated.
"According to the intelligence, those mercenaries just now had a confrontation with such a huge guild, and they escaped unharmed and fled to the western continent. Although the help of other forces must be indispensable, four people can Facing a super guild with all my strength, this courage deserves my respect." Tamro said calmly.
"They're just a bunch of lucky brats." The high-level mage was still arrogant.
"They are not just lucky." Tamro continued: "The skinny boy named Regnar just now..."
"What's up with him?"
"If he uses all his strength, I'm afraid the two of us combined will not be his opponent." Tamro said: "Because he killed a high-level man alone when he was only at level 11. A mage and a high-ranking knight. He is strong, very strong!"
"..." After hearing Regner's sensational record, the high-level mage's face suddenly turned ugly.
"Moreover." Tamro flipped through the documents on the table, and then whispered: "It is said that he will be the next person in charge of the Military Intelligence Department. It is very necessary for the military to give the future intelligence chiefs enough respect. of."
…
"You must be careful." Irene said reluctantly. She really wanted to follow him. As long as Regnar said the word "go" at this time, she would leave everything behind and follow Regnar without hesitation. Get on the road, even if you are about to face a cruel and bloody battlefield.
But Regner never mentioned this matter. After all, this mission was still very dangerous. Moreover, he knew Aileen's character very well. He must not be soft-hearted at this time, otherwise he would regret it for the rest of his life. He just touched Eileen's face, and then said: "Don't worry! I will be back in a month at most, intact!"
"You... you promise!" Eileen was still worried.
"Promise! Promise!" Regnar quickly complied, and then he rubbed Irene's silver hair: "I won't lie to you. I said I won't leave you alone again, so I will definitely do it. !Believe me!"
Irene raised her head and looked at Regna with a confident smile on his face. For some reason, the melancholy and worry in her heart suddenly disappeared. She nodded vigorously: "Yes!"
"Okay! If you two continue to show off your affection, the sun will set! Why don't we hurry up tomorrow?" Kordak said lazily.
"Pull them down, they will definitely have to fight again tomorrow and still won't be able to leave." Vera cooperated very tacitly.
"Oh, that's really troublesome. If that doesn't work, I'll go find Tamro and quit this mission. Obviously I can't leave!" Kordak continued to complain.
"What a waste! You two can fly together all the time. What does it mean for me to say a few words to Irene here?!" Regnar fiercely retorted: "You are saying that I am showing affection? Oops, I don't even remember where. Two people, in front of the supreme commander of the fortress! They were showing off their 'protect you' and 'trust me' over there. Irene, you don't know, my teeth were almost sore at that time!"
"How dare you talk back to the boss, you brat?" Kordak was furious.
"Xiao Lei~~" Vera approached Regnar with a cooing voice, then pinched his ears and suddenly asked sharply: "Tell me! Do you want to die or not live? Huh?!!!"
"Oh oh oh! I was wrong, I was wrong! Okay, okay, I'm leaving now! Ouch! Don't pull your ears! Sister Vera can't pull her hair either! Hey! Let me say hello to Irene again!"
"What are you saying hello? It's not like we're about to say goodbye. I'll be back in a few days! Let's go quickly!" The two men dragged Regna and said in unison.
"Ouch! Then... Erin, that's it. We'll be back in a few days, don't worry!"
"Goodbye!" Erin smiled and waved to the three people embarking on a new adventure.
