Heart of Empire Chapter 123: Cannon fodder

After nearly a week of sailing, the Long Sail and the Golden Fragrant Leaf have arrived at Shawan Harbor.

When getting off the boat, Dane clearly felt that the sword dancers who had followed him to Shawan Harbor were obviously very nervous. It seems that they all still remember what happened to Shawan Harbor last time.

However, Dane himself was not worried at all, not at all afraid of what Malone would do in the port. Especially when he had just disembarked and completed the procedures for the ship to stay, Emre brought a group of security team soldiers to him, and this worry disappeared even more.

Obviously, after experiencing the last incident, Morno's control over Shawan Harbor has been improved to a certain extent. Malone will definitely not get any cheap if he starts at Shawan Port.

After exchanging pleasantries with Emre for a while, Dane got his assurance.

"No one can do anything to you in Shawan Port. General Morno has sent a whole brigade of elite soldiers under my command. Even if Malone attacks the city, I am sure I can hold it for two or three days!"

With such a guarantee, what else does Dane have to worry about?

After bidding farewell to Emre, Dane quickly got in touch with Delin who was one step ahead and had already arrived at Shawan Port for more than a week.

A mighty group of more than two hundred people followed Delin, and soon found a temporary camp on the outskirts of the city.

In the camp, there are already more than two hundred mercenaries with different equipment stationed.

Delin said to Dane with some embarrassment: "Boss, you asked me to recruit mercenaries near Shawan Port and Rotten Wolf Town in advance. In a little over a week, I only recruited 270 mercenaries." More than ten people..."

Dane nodded and said, "It's not bad to be able to recruit so many people. I remember that the task I gave you before was just to recruit two hundred people, and you have exceeded your target."

"Yeah, the mission objective is indeed overfulfilled." Delin was still a little embarrassed, "It's just the quality of these people... how should I put it, all mercenaries, in terms of personal combat power, are basically All of them have reached the average level of this profession. But...their equipment is not uniform at all, some are not bad, but most of them are very simple. Moreover, in terms of organizational discipline, they are not as good as the army. In comparison, even compared with the general mercenary group, it is much worse..."

For such a result, Dane has nothing to say. He said: "It doesn't matter, I didn't intend to recruit a group of powerful troops. Isn't it normal that the mercenaries summoned temporarily cannot form an excellent team in a short period of time? ?”

"Alas..." Delin sighed, and asked with some puzzlement: "These people, to be honest, if it was our former Horror Mercenary Group, I'm afraid they only needed half—no, half No, as long as I have one-third of the manpower, I can completely defeat them. Not to mention, now, our strength is stronger. I don't understand, boss, you let me recruit so many of mediocre quality, just What do you do with mercenaries who are gathered by money, have no loyalty at all, let alone discipline?"

Dane grinned, patted Delin's shoulder with a smile, and said: "Indeed, our own army, anywhere in Schindler, can definitely be regarded as the elite of the elite." Yes. However, it is precisely because of this that our lives are very precious, and there is no place to replenish the lives of those who have been killed or wounded in foreign battles. When one is killed and the other is killed, I am reluctant to bear the lives of my subordinates. How can we ensure the safety of our own people without summoning some cannon fodder?"

Delin's eyes widened and he asked, "But... Boss, it cost about three thousand gold coins to recruit these people. If the casualties are too serious, we will have to pay a large sum of pensions. .”

Dane waved his hand arrogantly and said, "It's okay! How can gold coins be as important as the lives of our soldiers?!"

"Okay." Delin nodded and turned his head.

As Dane said, he didn't regard these temporarily recruited mercenaries as his important combat power at all. His core strength still lies in the team of nearly 250 people brought down from Comilla Island.

This point can be seen from the situation of being stationed in this temporary camp. He has no idea of ​​integrating the team at all. He just let Delin continue to lead those mercenaries, and restrained their actions, conducted a little bit of probability training, and stopped meddling. He also had the newly recruited mercenaries stationed on one side of the camp, while his own men were stationed on the other side, with a clear distinction, without any idea of ​​integrating the combat effectiveness of the two teams.

But no matter what, now, the power on paper in Dane's hands has undergone a huge expansion after this. A team of 500 people ~IndoMTL.com~ stayed in the outskirts of Shahaiwan Port, and it was a big event for the entire Shahaiwan Port.

During his time there, rumors abounded in Sandy Bay Harbor. Some people say that Dane's horror is planning to return to Schindler; some people say that he is coming back this time to avenge Malone's murder of him last time. Even Malone himself couldn't figure out the situation. In his eyes, there was a brigade of Morno's soldiers in Shawan Port. Now, together with the 500 men of Dane, they had formed a force that could directly threaten him. the strength. Not daring to be careless, he sent several waves of scouts to investigate around Shawan Port, and the focus of the investigation was around Dane's temporary camp.

Dane turned a deaf ear to the rumors about Shawan Harbor. Ma Long's scouts, he just sent a ranger team to expel them, and didn't do much more.

However, although Dane did not show an aggressive posture, Malone was not at all at ease. The expelled and captured scout team did not dispel his doubts. He is still paying close attention to what happened in Shawan Port, and is still trying to send scouts, with a look of finding out about Dane no matter what. meaning of the trend.

However, this is of no use. How could Ma Long's scout be the opponent of the elite ranger who survived all the way from Nancy's royal court? If it weren't for not wanting to make things big, Ma Long's scout team would have suffered heavy losses in just three days.

Just after Malone had been in fear for three days, on the afternoon of the fourth day, he suddenly received news from the scouts returning from the front: Dane's team had disappeared a day earlier~IndoMTL.com~Welcome The majority of book lovers come to read, the latest, fastest and hottest serial works are all available at ~IndoMTL.com~ mobile phone users please go to read.
