Besides, apart from some of them who were retired soldiers who had undergone training, those who had never been to the army had also been trained by the officers that Sienna had specially hired. Of course, for a mercenary corps, apart from basic combat power, high-end combat power was also indispensable. It was said that Sienna had already recruited a level-18 powerhouse to work for him. Although the news had not been verified, it was very credible given Sienna's current strength.
With Sienna's current strength, almost half of the top-notch commissions were monopolized by Sienna's mercenary corps, even though Roland City was a famous and prosperous city in the Breezy Plains. As a result, the other mercenary corps could only earn some profits from small commissions, and could barely make ends meet.
For example, this time, the boss of Seven Leaf Grass wanted to transport a batch of precious herbs from the north, and had no choice but to hire Sienna's mercenary corps for protection. However, even though he had to spend a lot of money, he had to use many connections and persuade Sienna to accept the commission. This time, Sienna came to Seven Leaf Grass to sign a protection contract with the boss, but he didn't expect to encounter such trouble.
Sienna's loss of composure surprised the boss of Seven Leaf Grass, but he quickly snapped out of it after being stunned for a while, and remembered that he still had things to deal with. Outrageous! Don't they know how difficult it is to get Captain Sienna to accept a commission? How dare they cause trouble at such a critical juncture?
Seeing that Sienna had come downstairs because of the commotion, the boss of Seven Leaf Grass's disgust towards Lin Li and the rest reached its peak. It was not just a matter of him losing face. If Captain Sienna was displeased, where could he find another powerful mercenary corps to accept his commission?
"Why are the few of you still here? Was what I said not clear enough just now!? You injured the manager of my shop, and I'll take it as a misunderstanding, so I won't hold it against you. However, please don't take my concession as weakness. If you continue to pester me on this matter, I can tell you clearly that you'll definitely be in big trouble! "the boss of Seven Leaf Grass hollered impatiently with a frown.
"Damn it, I'll really be in big trouble!" Sienna had just returned to his senses when he heard the boss of Seven Leaf Grass berating Lin Li. He was so shocked that he almost fainted.
In fact, Sienna had followed the boss of Seven Leaf Grass to the stairs and looked down curiously to see what kind of person dared to create trouble in Seven Leaf Grass. But when he saw it, he was so frightened that he almost cried out. He had never thought that he would meet the young mage who had given him everything he had now.
Sienna was extremely grateful to Lin Li for giving the credit to him, because everything he had now was given to him by this young mage. However, at the same time, there was an inexplicable fear in the depths of his heart that he could never forget.
It couldn't be helped, because the experience in Syer Town was too shocking, and Sienna had a deep impression of it. In particular, the power and means that Mage Felic had displayed made Sienna's hair stand on end.
Just as Sienna was hesitating about whether he should come out to meet Lin Li, he heard the boss and the manager mocking Mage Felic and the rest. This scared him so much that his legs turned to jelly, and he rolled down the stairs. The scene in the ruins of Syer Town a year ago was deeply imprinted in his mind, and the inexplicable fear became even clearer when he saw the young mage appear in front of him again.
However, what made Sienna despair was that the reckless boss of Seven Leaf Grass actually berated Mage Felic just as he was thinking about how to explain things to Mage Felic! Do you really not know how to spell the word 'death'? Is there anyone more ruthless than Mage Felic!?
The boss of Seven Leaf Grass was about to agree with Sienna when he saw Sienna appearing beside the manager, Larry, in a flash.
Seeing Sienna appear, the manager immediately felt emboldened. Now that the four mages were not going to scram, he said proudly, "Let me tell you, this is the famous Sienna …"
Unfortunately, before the manager could finish his sentence, he heard the sound of saliva being swallowed …
Then, the manager of Seven Leaf Grass, who was talking non-stop, saw a strange scene. Sienna, the leader of the strongest mercenary corps in Roland City, the most trusted confidant of the castellan, and the savior of Seven Leaf Grass, was nervously swallowing his saliva as he stammered to explain to the young mage, "Mage … Mage Felic, I'm actually … actually not that close to them …"
"Leader Sienna … What … What do you mean?" The manager's expression froze.
This sudden turn of events made the boss of Seven Leaf Grass dumbfounded. How did Sienna, who was just sitting with him, change his attitude so quickly?
At this moment, Sienna turned around, and said to the boss of Seven Leaf Grass unceremoniously, "Charles, I think you're really in big trouble this time!"
If he had not been so hesitant and come down earlier, things would not have turned out this way. But, the problem was, wasn't he f * cking afraid? Sienna's face turned pale, and he cursed in his heart. This bastard Charles was indeed an unlucky fellow. Anyone who came into contact with him would be f * cking unlucky. I've just signed a protection contract with him, and I'm going to be implicated by this bastard.
Damn it, is this Mage Felic someone that a lousy medicinal herb store like yours can afford to offend? He's a powerhouse who single-handedly annihilated countless Undead creatures, and even killed a Humerus Wyrm and a Lich. Look, that Lich is still loyal to him, and is following him around like a follower! Sienna carefully looked at Ujfalusi, who was standing behind Lin Li. He would never forget the fear that his skinny body brought him.
Oh no, oh no, I'm really going to be implicated by this bastard Charles this time! How could Sienna not know Mage Felic's temper? Back in the ruins of Syer Town, Jason was the most popular Adventurer in Doland. He and his two companions were all level-15 powerhouses. Yet, Jason, a level-15 Warrior, did not even dare to breathe when Mage Felic pointed a crossbow at his chest. That level-15 Bandit named Weathor was even worse off. His skin and flesh were torn apart by the lightning bolts, and he was on his last breath.
At the thought of this, Sienna regretted it so much that his intestines turned green. Damn it, why couldn't I resist the temptation? It's just a few hundred thousand gold coins, why did I sign the contract so stupidly? Now it's too late for regrets. What if Mage Felic finds out and thinks that I'm in cahoots with him? Should I just kill this bastard in the chaos, and then secretly destroy the contract?
Sienna thought about it, and decided to give up on that idea. It was not because Charles had a backer that he could not afford to offend. Rather, it was because he felt that with Mage Felic's almost omnipotent abilities, he would not be able to hide it from Mage Felic even if he destroyed the evidence and killed him.
He only hoped that Mage Felic could tell right from wrong, and not get angry at someone unrelated to him. As for whether that bastard Charles was dead or alive, it had nothing to do with him. Anyway, the protection contract he signed was only limited to escorting merchants! Sienna prayed in his heart as he walked towards Lin Li in fear. He bowed respectfully, and said, "Mage Felic, I didn't expect to see you here. It's such an honor!"
Seven Leaf Grass' boss, Charles, had seen Sienna's actions after he appeared. If he still did not understand the situation, he would have lived in vain for so many years.
Charles' heart tightened. Although Captain Sienna had only made a name for himself in the past year, he was already a popular figure in Roland City. It was obvious to all that the City Lord favored him. It was as if he was a descendant of his own family and did not conceal his support for him at all.
There was no doubt about Sienna's abilities. In less than a year, he had developed his mercenary corps to its current scale. Not only did he have thousands of well-trained warriors as the foundation, but he had also hired a level-18 powerhouse to work for him. In Charles' opinion, a level-18 powerhouse was already close to a Legendary powerhouse.
More importantly, Charles had even heard that William from the Time Consignment Store was on good terms with Sienna. One had to know that William was not a simple person. He had connections in various countries, and the people he befriended were all powerful figures from all walks of life. In other words, being able to befriend William was a manifestation of one's power and status.
Although Charles always expressed his disdain for comparing Seven Leaf Grass to the Time Consignment Store, he had to admit that Seven Leaf Grass could not compare to the Time Consignment Store in any aspect. The Time Consignment Store was only a small part of William's business. Because of this, Castellan Arathor of Roland City was very polite to Charles and respectful to William. The difference between them was huge.
However, Sienna, who had such a high status, actually behaved in fear and trepidation in front of this mage. It was as though he was a servant facing his master who could decide his life and death. Even Castellan Arathor could not make Sienna behave in such a manner. When he thought of this, Charles felt even more anxious and bewildered in his heart, and he thought to himself, I wouldn't have really kicked an iron plate this time, right?
The more Charles thought about it, the more afraid he became. It had not been easy for Seven Leaf Grass to reach its current scale. If he were to offend some powerful figure and bring disaster to Seven Leaf Grass, he would not be able to find a place to cry.
