Chapter 78: "Karu" and Long Jing

Shermanto, a legendary mercenary, the first mercenary to unite all mercenaries against the nobles, and the mercenary who is regarded as king by all mercenaries...

No one would associate this character who is almost legendary with the fucked and thin black beard, and Feng Kan was no exception, but the black beard problem took the initiative to give him a reminder!

"Have you ever thought about becoming the new mercenary king?"

Why did he ask this? If he was the past subordinate of the mercenary king Shermanto, then he should be very opposed to other people's covet the title of "mercenary king". After the death of the mercenary king, he was still able to persist in fulfilling his last wish for so many years. From this point of view, Shermanto should have an absolute position in his heart! Then what reason would make him agree to other people's use of the title of "mercenary king"? Isn't that right? The "holy realm" in his heart that no one can invade? But in his tone, it can be clearly heard that he has no attachment to the title of "mercenary king", but it is more like discussing with people in the vegetable market how much cabbage costs per pound! This is so abnormal!

Could it be that he has nothing to do with Shermanto at all? But if he has nothing to do with the mercenary king, how could he care so much about Shermanto's ambitions during his lifetime?

The only answer that can be explained by the two contradictions is only one: Blackbeard! This unique old mercenary is the mercenary king Shermanto himself!

This is really a shocking secret! The legendary mercenary who once led many mercenaries to fight against the nobles, the legendary mercenary king who was plotted by the nobles decades ago and was trapped in the enemy formation - was still alive!

I'm afraid no one will believe it even if he says it?

No one knows what happened to Shermanto, and he will not tell anyone. But the appearance of Blackbeard now shows that he has encountered something that can change a person from another aspect.

Fortunately, Shermanto did not fall into depravity, he just became more cunning and alert.

However, Shermanto's past has nothing to do with Feng Kan. Blackbeard wants to fight for his own interests for the mercenaries, while Feng Kan hopes to take the initiative in the upcoming war. Two people who seem to have no connection unexpectedly need the support of each other when they want to achieve their goals. That's enough!

For the remaining two days, the positions of the mercenaries and the positions of the regular army were very calm. But generally this calm often means the arrival of a storm...

Two days later, a shocking news spread throughout every camp:

The Iron Heart Mercenary Group, which has sixty warriors, two guide warriors, and one guide plate warrior, was taken down by someone!

This incident itself is not surprising. In mercenary camps, conflicts often occur due to material distribution and division of territory. It is normal for one or two mercenary groups to disappear in the conflict.

But what is shocking is that there is only one person who slaughtered the Iron Heart Mercenary Group, an unknown young mercenary!

There was no large-scale conflict. The young mercenary just walked in from the camp gate and then rushed to the tent of the regiment commander Roger Will. Commander Roger Will, known as "Giant Sword Roger", fought with his giant sword that had split the walls of Bolamy City, but was split into two by the young mercenary with his sword...

The leaders of various mercenary groups are not unfamiliar with this young mercenary. The lightning-like training has been deeply engraved in their hearts!

There are rumors that the cause of the incident was that when the young mercenary went out to do business, the members of the Iron Heart Mercenary Group once again made trouble at the camp of the Blackbeard Mercenary Group when they were out for business. This is actually a very common thing. Such things have happened more than once in the past, and everyone is used to it, and no one will find it strange. But this time the difference is that when the mercenaries who came to make trouble, they took away a scabbard made of pure gold when they left...

Is Roger Will really a fool? Or is he confident that he is so powerful that he will not dare to fight back even if he provokes the other party so much? All the mercenary commanders who saw how the young mercenary killed the Golden Sword Capricora could not believe that Roger Will was so ignorant, and he would never have thought that just for a golden sword, the young mercenary would start killing so cruelly! But the fact is right in front of him, the most important thing is that no one could have imagined that the young mercenary named Karu would have washed the Iron Heart Mercenary Group with his long sword alone!

The joint meeting was held again! All the mercenary leaders felt deeply uneasy. They were not sure that the young mercenary named Karu would not aim his sword at him. None of them had the confidence to face the sword that was too fast to see alone!

"Blackbeard Commander, can you really guarantee that Karu won't go to our camp to do the same thing?"

The question was the leader of the Ceylon Mercenary Group, the strong man in his thirties, who was more calm and meticulous among the leaders of various mercenary groups.

"Then I want to ask back, what reason does he have to go to your camp?" Blackbeard glanced at Feng Kan, who was standing behind him, and asked back.

"This is really hard to say!" A big man with a fat face took over the conversation at this time, "What if he gets lost in the evening and runs to our camp?"

"It turns out that even when Bodith's men become adults, they will still get lost like a cunt-eating devil?" Before Blackbeard could speak, Feng Kan sneered and mocked.

"What did you say?" The big man with a fat face immediately slapped the table and stood up. His eyes were staring like cowbells, and the anger emitted from his body was so hot that it could almost be used for barbecue.

"Am I wrong?" Feng Kan continued to stimulate him with a disdainful smile on his lips. "If I hadn't been lost frequently, how could I think I would be lost like you?"

"you!"

"Enough!" Blackbeard shouted lightly. Although his voice was not very loud, it was full of invisible majesty.

No one was talking, and the big man with a fat face wanted to say something, but when he saw that everyone else was silent, he closed his mouth unwillingly.

Blackbeard glanced at the other mercenary commanders sitting in the big tent without saying a word, with no anger in his eyes, only deep disappointment.

"I am very sorry about Captain Roger Will, but I have no choice! Karu is not a member of our Blackbeard Mercenary Corps! Although I have always hoped that he can join us!"

“Buzz…”

When everyone heard his words, everyone else exploded with a loud bang.

"Since it's not a member of your Blackbeard Mercenary Group, what's he doing here?" Someone immediately shouted. If this young mercenary named Karu had no other backing, then they would have no worries about doing certain things.

"Knock... choke... choke..."

Feng Kan squinted his eyes without saying a word at the yelling mercenary commander, holding the scabbard around his waist with his left hand, and repeatedly pushing out the sword with his thumb, pulling out and retracting it. The cold metal collision sounds hit the hearts of every mercenary commander present...

“…”

Everyone was quiet again. None of them had the confidence to catch the sword of this young mercenary, and they could not be sure how many people would sacrifice their lives to help them if they really took action! To put it bluntly, if they could use this young mercenary to weaken the strength of other mercenary groups, I would actually be happy to make a fortune in silence!

Blackbeard sighed silently. What he was sad was that the relationship between the mercenaries now was only a naked interest relationship. Everyone was short-sighted and could beat him up for a little bit of profit but could not see the real enemies behind him...

If it were in the era of the mercenary king Shermanto, there would never be a ridiculous thing among the mercenaries that could shock a group of people! Once upon a time, the fierce wolf packs in the past also degenerated into cowardly hyenas?

"The reason why he is here is because I am his employer!" Blackbeard closed his eyes and slowly spoke a "fact" that everyone unexpectedly did!

“What? Employer?”

"Is there any rule that mercenaries cannot hire other mercenaries?" The black beard suddenly opened his eyes and looked like lightning to the screaming mercenary commander.

"No...that's it..." The mercenary commander lowered his head awkwardly. There was indeed no rule that mercenaries could not hire other mercenaries to work, but this kind of thing had never happened. No one would create working conditions for his competitors!

"And our Blackbeard Mercenary Group itself has not made any unfriendly actions towards the camp of the Iron Heart Mercenary Group, right?"

The other mercenary corps leaders looked at each other speechlessly. Blackbeard was right. Feng Kan was the only one who took action, but who could have thought that just one person could completely wipe out an old mercenary corps? It is no longer the age of the gods!

"So, the conflict between Roger Will and Karu is just a personal grudge between them, but the result is very regrettable!" Blackbeard continued, "I can guarantee that Karu will never attack any of the people here for no reason! Now the war is right in front of you, I think you don't want to see such unnecessary sacrifice again, right?"

The mercenary commanders were speechless. They were not asking for justice for the unlucky guy Roger Will, and no one cared about the dead guy. They were just worried about their own safety and so they would seek a promise here! Although no one could guarantee whether someone would really comply with this promise, it was better to have it than not!

"Is there anything else?"

Blackbeard doesn't want to stay in such a place for a moment. The performance of the various mercenary commanders made him both heartbroken and disappointed. "If nothing else, we will leave first!"

After saying that, Blackbeard never looked at anyone again and left this place that disappointed him lonely.

Feng Kan looked at the lonely figure and felt a little sighing. He now understood why Blackbeard abandoned his past identity. If that name appears again, it will only cause chaos and destruction! The current situation among the mercenaries is definitely not something that can unite them again by the name of "Shermanto". On the contrary, the nobles who are very sensitive to this kind of thing have a lot of opportunities to immediately eradicate the thorn in their eyes!

"Everyone." After thinking about this, Feng Kan felt it was not worth it for Blackbeard. After thinking about it, he looked around coldly at everyone present, "If anyone wants to ask Karu for advice, Karu welcomes you to the camp at any time!"

Everyone felt a chill on their backs, and then they all looked at the other people with ulterior motives.

Seeing their reaction, Feng Kan sneered in disappointment, turned around and walked towards the door with Blackbeard.

"Oh! My dear Blackbeard Captain!" Not long after walking out of the tent, a guy with a greasy face came up head-on, and his flattering smile seemed to be like a son-in-law meeting his mother-in-law.

"Is there anything wrong? 'Dear' Lord Misodorov." Blackbeard asked coldly in the face of the "enthusiastic" inspector.

"Hahaha, of course it's an important thing!" Faced with the cold attitude of the black beard, Misodorov said enthusiastically without any embarrassment. At the same time, the fat hands that were fairer than women even pulled up the black beard's black and thin hands very kindly.

"What's important?" Blackbeard frowned. No one would believe that Misodorov's current enthusiastic attitude was sincere. Although his smile seemed to be purer than a newborn baby, everyone knew that behind the smile must be a sharp knife!

"Yes! Very important thing!" Misodorov nodded excitedly and said, "I think my dear Blackbeard leader will be interested! Why don't we talk about it alone?"

Before Blackbeard could express his opinion, Feng Kan had already blocked his face with a gloomy face.

"this……"

Looking at Feng Kan's hand on the hilt of the sword, Misodorov's smile was a little stiff, and his throat, which could not even be seen, squirmed up and down twice.

"Please don't get me wrong. No matter what, I am the urging officer appointed this time. Are you still worried about something happening to your leader when you are with me?" Strangely, the Baron did not scold the other party loudly as usual, but was discussing with him with a kind look.

"What do you think?" Feng Kan didn't take his tricks and said coldly with a gloomy face.

Even Misodorov himself would not believe that he would not deal with Blackbeard! Blackbeard had already ruined him more than once, and he had long wanted to tie this smelly and hard old guy to a big stone and throw it into the cold lake!

But this time his goal was not to deal with this old thing who was on the top three on the regular army blacklist.

"Look at what you said!" Misodorov raised his face and looked angry. "Would my dignified Baron Solan still assassinated the Blackbearded Captain like a sneaky assassin?"

Feng Kan looked him up and down without saying a word, then sneered, "Even if you want, I don't think you can do that!"

Misodorov secretly bit his steel teeth in his mouth, but his face once again showed a flattering smile as if he saw his mother-in-law, "So what else are you worried about?"

"This is hard to say!" Feng Kan refuted him without hesitation, "If you want to murder someone, sometimes your sinister heart is more useful than any sword!"

Misodorov was sarcastic about his face. At this moment, Blackbeard spoke, "Karu! Since the inspector is so sincere, I might as well listen to what he said!"

"I understand!" Feng Kan looked back at Blackbeard and blinked secretly. He and Blackbeard had already thought of Misodorov's real intention at the same time. "Then I'll wait for an hourglass. After the sand of an hourglass flows, if the leader of the group has not appeared yet..."

Then he didn't say anything, but looked back and forth around Misodorov's neck with a cold look.

Although he didn't believe that this young mercenary could pose any threat to him, Misodorov still broke out in a cold sweat. If he hadn't been paying attention to his image all the time, maybe the Baron would have turned around and ran away long ago? He was just a clerk, not a warrior!

Blackbeard followed Misodorov into a temporary tent near the main road. It seemed that the tent was specially built for this return visit.

Feng Kan stood at the door of the tent with his arms in his arms, his eyes constantly scanning the two guards standing facing him at the door. When did the two soldiers have seen such an arrogant mercenary? Of course, he also responded to him with a provocative look! The two sides were pointed at the two sides, and the "crackling" electric sparks could be seen where the eyes intersected...

"May I ask... Mr. Karu?"

A humble voice came from behind him. Feng Kan did not turn around and continued to stare at the two guards. He had long felt that someone had come behind him.

"Karu is me! But I am not a gentleman!" Feng Kan took two more steps forward as he answered the questions behind him impatiently.

Faced with such obvious provocation, the two guards on the opposite side also took a step forward, and at the same time put their right hand on the hilt of the sword beside their waists.

"Mr. Karu! Can you speak with one step?"

The people behind him still humbly requested.

"No time!" Feng Kan still answered without looking back.

"After seeing this thing, you may be interested." The person behind did not give up his efforts and continued to ask for it, but his tone was full of confidence and temptation.
