Chapter 10 Supplies and Commissions (Page 2/2)

Andrew had a vision to be a well-known businessman in this era. After some consideration, he politely invited Frank into the wooden house and asked his beautiful wife to bring him a bottle of dwarf dark beer and some food. The two began to talk to each other.

From the merchant, Frank also learned more about the war and Cintra.

Just as he had seen in the original book, the Cintra War, which was called the First Nilfgaard War in history, did not last long.

Before many people could react, the Royal City of Cintra fell.

The cruel Nilfgaardian Black Army did all kinds of bad things when facing the northern people, and they were merciless.

Not only did they kill innocent people and plunder their property, but what was even more vicious was that the Nilfgaardians would capture the northerners as slaves, and then transport them back to the south like livestock, using them as slave workers, and they also called it spreading the imperial civilization.

These captured northerners generally do not live more than ten years, and will consume their lives in endless torture and work.

So after the fall of the Cintra Royal City, except for those rebels who were unwilling to leave their homes and vowed to fight the Nilfgaardians to the death, most of the other people chose to flee Cintra and seek refuge in other kingdoms in the north.

And their refugee team mainly came from the same town, and they knew each other. Along the way, they absorbed some scattered refugees, and reached the current scale of hundreds of people.

With a large number of people, the speed of travel also slowed down. Their destination is the Kingdom of Soden. At the current speed, it may take half a month to arrive.

Let's not talk about whether everyone has enough food and supplies. If they are caught up by the Nilfgaardian army behind them because of the slow escape speed, it will be too miserable.

For this reason, Mr. Andrew is also very worried, but as a decent person with a kind heart, they can't abandon those slow refugees, so they are still a little entangled in their hearts.

After chatting for half a day and eating almost all the food, Frank thought he was finally going to talk about buying supplies.

Unexpectedly, Andrew suddenly paused and said with a somewhat tangled expression:

"Mr. Frank, since you are a mercenary with good combat power, I have a suggestion now. I wonder if you can consider it."

Frank put down the glass in his hand. Although the dwarf beer was not very delicious, it greatly relieved his fatigue from camping in the wilderness for the past two days.

Hearing Mr. Andrew's question, he did not express his opinion immediately, but said calmly:

"Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Andrew."

"Please speak frankly, I will answer you after serious consideration."

Merchant Andrew nodded, touched his beard and said:

"It's like this, Mr. Frank."

"Just yesterday, by the river about two hours away from this village."

"When our team was fetching water there, they were suddenly attacked by many water ghosts."

"Although there were not many casualties, when we evacuated, a batch of supplies were not taken away in time and were left there."

"If possible, I would like to invite you to help us retrieve the supplies."

"As for the reward, please rest assured."

"Not only will I provide you with the supplies you need for free, but I will also pay you an additional reward."

"However, we don't have professional fighters, so we can't help you with combatants, but we will still pick a few men to go with you."

"If you can successfully defeat those water ghosts, they will help you transport the supplies back."
