"Hahaha, I come to visit you again. This time I came to Pompeii to build an outpost as agreed."

The visitor was the senior knight of the Sabretooth Mercenaries, the Knight of Orleans. Luther was deeply impressed by the Knight of Orleans, who was big, bold, and had a thick beard.

His whole body is full of the style of European and American warriors.

Accompanying him were three intermediate knights, eight junior knights, and some ordinary mercenaries.

In a mercenary group, the main fighting force is the knights, and ordinary mercenaries are only responsible for logistics, such as setting up camps.

When Luther first cooperated with the Sabretooth Mercenaries, he placed an advertisement and asked the Sabretooth Mercenaries to set up an outpost in Pompeii.

Because mercenaries will occasionally act as adventurers, but adventurers enter the forest to obtain all the good things in the deep forest, in other words, to try their luck.

Catch whatever you come across.

Mercenaries are usually commissioned by their employers to go to the endless forests to search for precious herbs, monsters, ores and other materials.

This type of employment is also a major business of the Sabretooth Mercenary Group.

In the past, the Sabretooth Mercenaries’ outpost on the edge of the area was in another place, but because Luther rescued Mr. Wizard El last time, he helped the Sabretooth Mercenaries.

This favor allowed the Sabretooth Mercenary Group to move their original outpost and prepare to set up a new outpost in Pang.

When the Sabretooth Mercenary Group sends mercenaries to the Endless Forest, they will resupply near the outpost. After the mercenaries make money, they will also spend it in nearby cities.

This will bring popularity to the city.

If more mercenary groups and more adventurers gather in a city, then the various materials they obtain through their adventures and the commercial activities brought about by them can even support the economy of a small city.

But obviously, this conflicts slightly with Luther's current plans.

Before the establishment of the Orange Consortium, Luther's plan for the metropolis was obviously to take one step at a time. As long as it could attract people, it would be okay to do it a little bit here and there.

But now he has a plan to build a metropolis full of art, prosperity, safety and comfort.

Luther didn't despise mercenary adventurers, it's just that they were all people who lived on the edge of a knife, usually had bad tempers, and loved to drink.

If a city gathers too many mercenaries and adventurers, there will definitely be a lot of fights.

It conflicts a bit with Luther's development path.

But it doesn't matter, the metropolis has not yet developed. If the Pompeii family becomes a real noble, it will not only be a metropolis.

A big city and several small cities would be good. It would also be a good idea to create a rough city with a strong adventurer atmosphere.

Therefore, Luther welcomed the visit of the Knights of Orleans.

"Thank you for your hard work, Knight Orleans." Luther expressed his master's enthusiasm and gave Knight Orleans a big hug. Then he took Knight Orleans to the City Hall and registered an area on the edge of the territory as the base of the Sabretooth Mercenary Group.

This station is not far from Pompeii, and the supply line is short. It will not disturb the normal activities of Pompeii residents.

After all, the murderous aura emanating from the mercenaries is still quite scary.

The layout of the mercenaries' base is very simple, with only a decent outer wall and a tent camp.

Ordinary mercenaries are very good at logistics, and this work was completed before dark. Luther brought Pompeii wine, and the knights of the saber-toothed tigers ate and drank the wine.

Because of Luther's warm hospitality, the knights also liked Luther and the atmosphere was very good.

At this moment, the sky was dotted with stars and a bonfire was lit on the ground. Luther and the Knight of Orleans sat on small benches around the bonfire. The Knight of Orleans drank a lot of Pompeii wine and felt a little dizzy.

If you drink too much of this wine, you will easily reveal the truth.

But Knight Orleans was still quite sober, but under the influence of alcohol, he said to Luther: "Knight Luther, you also know that being a mercenary is a very profitable but very risky thing. You may die at any time. Although I am a senior knight, I cannot escape this fate. In the history of the Sabretooth Mercenary Group, many senior knights died in battle. So my biggest wish is to make enough money, join a powerful family, and live a more stable life."

But he never found a suitable family to serve in the government.

This is normal.

An old and powerful noble family with a large number of knights, whether they are guardian knights or vassal knights.

They always employ knights from these families because these families are trustworthy.

Even if the numbers are insufficient, they prefer noble knights.

As for adventurers and mercenaries who were born from common people, the nobles with real titles did not trust them because mercenaries and adventurers often represented dirtiness.

A seemingly upright mercenary may be a ruthless executioner in the wild.

In this respect, mercenaries of noble origin are better than mercenaries of commoner origin, because the noble surname represents credibility in a sense.

In short, civilians are not trusted.

Therefore, if civilian mercenaries want to find a way out, the best way is to become a great knight, go to the capital to join the king, and transform themselves into court nobles.

If you cannot become a great knight, then look for a newly rising family, or a business family without territory to serve as a bodyguard.

Even high-ranking knights are not immune to this.

A force that cannot be trusted, there is no difference between junior knights and senior knights.

Unless you are a great knight.

This is also the reason why the power of the New Party continues to infiltrate among the civilian knights. The New Party represents the resentment of the civilian knights, who are eager to overthrow the existing aristocratic system and gain a status equal to their strength.

However, the nobles had a huge wealth advantage and could consume magic potions and monster meat as much as they wanted, and train generations of noble knights.

The power of civilians is too weak.

Therefore, although the New Party had the opportunity to overthrow the Kingdom of Prussia, the chance was actually extremely slim.

All in all, the Knight of Orleans is a mercenary who seems rough and generous, but in fact he has his own shrewdness.

He could see that Luther didn't mind recruiting reputable civilian mercenaries.

The friendship and trust between the two sides were established during the last battle.

And the Pompeii family is developing rapidly.

Recently, the Knight of Orleans has been hearing the propaganda of the Pompeii family to wipe out the Autumn Wind Thieves Group. This proves that the Pompeii family has invested countless gold coins and become a driving force.

The Knight of Orleans believed that the House of Pompeii would not always remain as large as it is now.

Sooner or later it will soar into the sky.

This is the delicate mind beneath the seemingly bold and rough appearance of the Knight of Orleans.

And if Orleans gets tired of the life of a mercenary one day and hopes to have a stable life, then the Pompeii family will be a good choice.

And he believed that the Pompeii family also needed trustworthy senior knights.

Both sides complement each other, don't they?
