Wayne saw everything Julia did, and couldn't help but feel a little admiration for this woman's choices and decisiveness.
Very good, he likes subordinates who are smart and motivated, but not smart-hearted.
He stood up and took a bottle of high-end red wine from the wine cabinet, poured a glass for himself and Little Cat, and then said calmly: "You have to do more than just this. I have a bigger plan that requires more mercenaries, a mercenary corps that is only loyal to me."
"This mercenary corps is different from the ordinary mercenaries you are currently managing who are only responsible for handling miscellaneous matters. It is a war mercenary corps that specializes in combat."
"My plan is to form a mercenary corps of 20,000 people within three years."
"Ten years later, the corps expanded to 50,000 people."
"I want this mercenary group to become the largest mercenary group in the north from all over the world."
Although Wayne's tone was quite calm, his words shocked Julia on the opposite side so much that she almost spit out the red wine in her mouth.
A mercenary group of 50,000 people is simply a joke. Even most of the northern powers would find it difficult to organize such a large army.
You know, even though Koville is known as the country of mercenaries, has the largest number of mercenary groups in the entire north, and even has a military academy that specializes in teaching mercenaries military knowledge, Koville's most powerful mercenary corps only has a few thousand members, and no more than ten thousand at most.
Besides the fact that there are too many people to manage, without war the personnel will be idle and money will be wasted.
The most important reason is that the kings would never allow the existence of a mercenary group of more than 10,000 people, as that would likely affect their rule and threaten their rights.
Even for those mercenary groups with more than a few thousand people, most of their behind-the-scenes leaders are of royal blood, or are agents of some great nobles.
When it comes to controlling their own power, the people in power in any dynasty would rather kill someone by mistake than let him go.
Julia wiped the red wine that spilled from the corner of her mouth with her sleeve and tried to calm herself down.
If Wayne wasn't her big money sponsor and a big shot she couldn't afford to offend, this strong-willed and aggressive female mercenary leader might have started to mock him.
She comforted herself in her heart that this was just random advice from an outsider and she shouldn't take it to heart. Then she forced a smile on her face and said sincerely, "Boss, your plan is indeed quite grand and worth our efforts."
"But there is a small problem that needs attention."
"In most kingdoms in the north, nobles and lords do not allow the emergence of mercenary groups with more than a thousand people."
"Even if it's just a mercenary group of a few hundred people, they will pay special attention to it. Most of the time, these mercenaries can't even enter the city, and they won't get any commissions or missions."
"Boss, unless you can get special permission from a certain king, it is basically impossible for a mercenary group of more than 10,000 people to appear, and they will not be allowed to enter the leading range of other countries."
"With such a large scale, spies from any country will always pay attention to the actions of this mercenary group. There is no possibility of hiding."
Julia spoke very carefully, with a flattering smile on her face all the time, for fear that the big money man in front of her would get angry because of her words, or would insist on doing things recklessly and give orders recklessly.
The Cat's Claw Mercenary Group is now at a critical stage of development, and cannot do without the financial support of the big money sponsor in front of them.
After listening to Julia's words, Wayne did not show any dissatisfaction. He really did not understand the information that Little Beautiful Cat told him, and he had never known about it before. However, this did not conflict with his original plan. Little Beautiful Cat's rebuttal also proved that she was not a yes-man, but had her own ideas.
Immediately, Wayne first spoke to calm Julia's somewhat agitated emotions, and then briefly explained to her his plan to build a super chamber of commerce.
At the end, he looked at Julia with a meaningful look and said in a calm tone: "In the not too distant future, my Wayne Chamber of Commerce will have its own base in any city or town in the north, and each base will have its own armed guards."
"With hundreds of strongholds and hundreds of caravans, even if there are tens of thousands of people hiding in our hearts, they will be inconspicuous. In addition to protecting the safety of the caravans and strongholds, this mercenary group only needs to obey my orders and does not need to serve in other people's wars."
"This is a long-term and great plan, and the position I leave you is crucial."
"However, the choice is yours, Julia. You can still choose to just focus on your current task of saving the non-human race and not be distracted by anything else."
"I think the conditions I offer should easily attract other outstanding talents to work for me."
But as soon as Wayne finished speaking, Julia rushed to say:
"I am willing to take care of this for you, boss."
The little beautiful cat's expression was very excited, her eyes were slightly bloodshot, and her face was a little flushed.
Just kidding, if there is a chance to lead a mercenary group of tens of thousands of people and become a big figure destined to go down in history, I'm afraid there will be a lot of people willing to do it even if it means selling their souls.
Although Julia strongly suspected that Wayne was just making empty promises for her, they would never come true.
How much money and powerful background would be needed to build such a super chamber of commerce?
However, in the Middle Ages, when there were few and far between opportunities for advancement, why would one refuse such an opportunity? If what the big boss said was true, then her life would be worth it.
Wayne smiled and patted Julia on the shoulder. He was quite satisfied with her positive attitude, so he said, "I will discuss the specific operations with you later."
"What you need to do now is to select those members who have leadership abilities and are trustworthy. In the future, they will all become leaders of small teams of dozens or even hundreds of people."
"You have to find a way to ensure their loyalty, whether it's signing a contract with them, using a combination of kindness and force, or tempting them with money. In short, you have to make sure they are obedient."
"But don't worry, you will have plenty of time to do this in the future."
As he spoke, Wayne lifted up the beautiful face of the little cat with his fingers, smiled and said in a seductive tone:
"And you should know that I am a person who possesses extraordinary powers and can do many things that you ordinary people can hardly imagine."
"As long as you work hard for me and achieve results that satisfy me, I will grant you the immortality that mortals dream of. I will allow you to live for hundreds of years and make you even more powerful. You will transcend mortals and become a powerful being that you dare not even dream of."
………………
After the little beautiful cat Julia left with her vision of the future, Wayne went to a shop in the city and met Reso and others who had almost lived a stable life in Vizima City.
After a detailed discussion with the demon hunter of the Viper School, they agreed to go to the Kingdom of Kaedwen to carry out the commission, and after completing the mission, they would return to Kaermohen together. Then he returned to Keira's mansion.
It was already dusk. When Wayne returned to the mansion, only the maid Macy and several other servants were at home. Keira had not returned yet.
He thought about it and decided that this amount of time was not enough to do anything useful, so he simply went into the kitchen and made a large table of delicious food as a reward for Kayla and Macy's enthusiasm last night.
The current principal of Aretuza Academy, Margaret, a sorceress with an amazing bust and a body as perfect as a marble statue.
After the two sorceresses came back, Margarita saw the large table of delicious food prepared by Wayne. She immediately screamed excitedly like a little girl, then walked over quickly, hugged Wayne, kissed his handsome face, and said with a smile: "I am so lucky, Wayne."
"In the past two years, every time I eat, I always think of the delicious food you made, which makes me miss it all the time."
"I didn't expect that I would be able to taste these delicacies again today. I'm so happy."
Being hugged by Margarita's warm and soft body, Wayne looked at Kayla with some surprise. Seeing that she gave him an ambiguous look, Wayne suddenly smiled bitterly in his heart.
He patted Margarita on the back and said gently, "Welcome, Margarita, we haven't seen each other for a long time."
"Kayla didn't tell me you would come today, otherwise, I would definitely prepare more delicious food to entertain you."
Hearing Wayne's welcome, Margarita's smile became even brighter. She turned and walked to Kayla's side, pulled up the petite sorceress who was half a head shorter than her, and said with a smile:
"Kayla told me that she is going to participate in this bounty competition, and you will become her ally and protect her in this mission."
"In fact, she invited me to cooperate with her before, but I was hesitant because I thought that without qualified warriors to protect us, this mission would become very dangerous."
"But now that you, a powerful demon hunter, have joined us, I have no reason to refuse. For this mission, we will team up together and help Keira to hunt down the undead monster from another world."
Wayne raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard this. He didn't expect that Kayla could find Margarita to be her ally.
You have to know that Margarita is able to become the current principal of Aretuza Academy. Her own strength is unquestionable. She is definitely an outstanding existence among female sorcerers.
According to what we learn in the game, Principal Margarita is a rare sorceress who is very kind-hearted, not greedy for power, and even willing to sacrifice for her students.
She was probably one of the few sorceresses who would not resort to intrigue and scheme for the position of candidate member of the Supreme Council.
With her help, Keira's chances of success in this mission are greatly increased.
After everyone sat down at the table, even Macy, with Kayla's tacit consent, sat next to Wayne with some trepidation, and then they enjoyed the food and chatted happily about gossip.
Wayne asked Margarita in a joking tone:
"Ms. Margarita, Kayla must have spent a lot of money to invite you this time, right?"
Margarita had a happy smile on her face as if she was enjoying delicious food. She was eating a cream cake in her hand with big mouthfuls, and she didn't care at all as the milky white cream fell on her almost completely exposed chest.
Only after she had eaten the entire piece of cake did the headmistress lick her fingers with her sexy lips and said with a carefree smile:
"Kayla is my most proud student, and I like her personality very much, so for this commission, I only charged her 5,000 Orens as a reward for her hard work."
"You should be able to guess that besides her, many other people have invited me."
Margarita winked at Wayne and said with a smile:
"Time is truly a magical thing. Only from young sorceresses like Kayla and Triss can we see what sincerity and responsibility are."
"When a sorceress passes her first hundred years, many of her precious qualities slowly disappear from her."
"Many people end up becoming the kind of people they hate."
Wayne nodded as if he understood what she said. He found that Margarita was not as careless as she appeared to be. She probably understood many things like a mirror in her mind and saw things much more clearly than many insiders.
But this is normal. Margarita has lived for nearly two hundred years. After such a long time, even the simplest person will be tempered into a shrewd person.
Moreover, to be able to become the principal of Aretusa College, Margarita's wisdom and emotional intelligence must be outstanding, otherwise she would not have been able to stand in this position.
It seems that after so much time of hardship, she can still maintain her kind and noble character, which is enough to show that she is a person worthy of admiration.
The dinner was a very pleasant one. After three years of training, Wayne's cooking skills had reached a higher level. It was even more enjoyable and nostalgic than the last time Margarida had eaten there.
After Macy left halfway, the three discussed some details about the mission in detail, and set the departure time on the morning of the third day, and then separated temporarily.
Wayne first studied magic knowledge for two hours. When night fell, he went to the bathroom alone, ready to take a good bath and relax.
However, what he didn't expect was that when he was halfway through his bath, lying in the hot water and enjoying the bath, Kayla and Margarita, wearing loose bathrobes, also walked into the bathroom, talking and laughing.
They were not surprised to see Wayne lying in the bathtub. Instead, they admired Wayne's masculine body with bold eyes and whispered about his mighty performance in bed last night.
The explicit words and ambiguous tone made Margarita laugh out loud.
Seeing this, Wayne covered his body with a bath towel in embarrassment, and then said to the two sorceresses: "Ladies, discussing this kind of thing in front of me is not a ladylike behavior!"
"How about you guys come in after I finish my shower?"
Unexpectedly, after listening to Wayne's speech, Margarita smiled even more brightly.
The two walked into the bathtub without hiding. When they came to Wayne's side, Margarita reached out and touched Wayne's strong muscles, and said with a smile:
"What are you afraid of as a grown man? Aren't Kayla and I beautiful?"
"Actually, this time when she helped Kayla, she also agreed to a small request of mine."
"I've always wanted to try what it's like to sleep with a demon hunter, but I don't like those smelly and ugly ones. You are the one that best suits my taste, Wayne."
"But if you refuse, I won't force you."
As a man and a demon hunter, no one can withstand such temptation.
