But just as Knight Connor arrived, the Green Dragon Legion invaded.

After the war, Su Li was too weak to get out of bed, relying on recuperation in bed to regain his strength.

Now it's a good time to talk closely with this Blue Heron Mercenary Corps. They are a distinguished mercenary group, having served the Tirteus Territory for a century, proving their loyalty and reliability.

This earned them the trust and support of many Empire nobles, allowing them to build a considerable base locally, absorbing many excellent mercenaries, and developing into a large mercenary group with multiple sub-warbands, companies, and adventurer teams, providing security services to various Lords and caravans.

Su Li asked with concern, "Why did you want to develop in the Border Prince's Territory?"

The other party replied with a smile, "Our Grand Leader believes that the Border Prince's Territory is the most vast blue ocean for mercenaries. The fertile land here supports many Pioneer Lords, with wars ongoing, weapons clashing constantly. Meanwhile, the vacuum zones between power centers and the wide forests hide countless raiders, posing great threats to caravans. Therefore, we can take on more business here."

"Next, allow me to introduce the details of our mercenary corps. I am Bernhardt Morgan, War Commander of this sub-warband. The name of our sub-warband is Hate Messenger Mercenary Corps, named after the powerful Rune Battle Halberd·Hate Messenger held by the War Commander. This halberd is embedded with a Flame Rune enchanted by a Dwarf Rune Master, possessing two powerful features: first, it can make the user more skilled in combat; second, it allows the user to cast the Fireball Technique in battle!"

"Moreover, the entire elite melee troops of our warband are equipped with half plate armor made by dwarves, wielding finely crafted long halberds, and hoisting our original banner—a griffin holding a halberd, symbolizing the noble and unyielding spirit of our warband."

Melee halberd soldiers wearing half plate armor made by dwarves?

What an excellent infantry elite, only Su Li's direct Armed Attendant Camp·Blood Pine Forest Fierce Beast Slayer in Hesse Territory can surpass them in terms of equipment.

So Su Li promptly asked with concern, "How many people did your mercenary corps bring this time?"

Bernhardt answered calmly, "Our mercenary corps initially brought not many people, only 80 Long Halberd Corps members, and 40 Crossbowmen. But once we establish the branch base of our mercenary group here, we estimate forming a base of 500 people here, irradiating all surrounding regions."

A mercenary base of 500 people?

That's not a small number!

Even if you exclude administrative staff, internal staff, warehouse management, cooks, and financial cashiers from the 500, the mercenaries capable of participating in combat are not less than 360.

Such a large mercenary team providing services to Hesse Territory and all nearby territories, towns, farms, and merchant guilds, can bring immense wealth to Hesse Territory!

Just providing prostitutes and drinks to these people alone would make a small territory earn substantial profits.

If this includes the mercenaries' families, mounts, servants, slaves, and prisoners, this base could possibly have a scale of 1000 people, already larger than most villages.

But it's not over yet, Bernhardt continued, "Young Master Suli, don't be disappointed. Although we didn't bring many combat personnel from the Blue Heron Mercenary Corps, we did bring some of our partners, a group of Dwarf Rangers!"

"They are a group of partners we met when fighting Rat People in the Border Prince's Territory, willing to fight against the Green Dragon for the compensation you offer."
