All Mage

The eight aristocratic families are still having headaches over the selection of candidates, but the coalition forces have already started preparing for the New Year.

new Year!

For the vast majority of mercenaries, this is a beautiful day that only exists in memory.Although the New Year is celebrated every year, how can the mercenaries care about celebrating the New Year for their livelihood?

Even if they happened to be resting in the city during the New Year, the mercenaries would go out to relax at most, or find a bar girl to have fun, basically the same as usual, nothing special, and they would not feel the festive energy of the New Year at all .

In the past few years, members of the coalition army also celebrated the New Year in this way, and did not prepare anything specially for the New Year, unlike the nobles and civilians in Coriano City who have been busy with the New Year since half a month ago .

But this year is different. After several years of development, the coalition forces are finally on the right track.Although so far, the strength of the coalition forces is not that strong, but at least it is not something that can be manipulated casually, which also makes the members of the coalition forces a lot more motivated.

Especially during this period of closed-door practice, everyone can calm down and digest the effect of soaking the Moon Well. Although everyone's strength cannot be improved by leaps and bounds immediately, everyone has undergone qualitative changes from the inside to the outside, and it looks even better. Calm and more confident.

In particular, the members of the coalition had personally experienced the whole process of auctioning the soaking quota, and also witnessed the spectacular scene when more than 7000 million gold coins were placed in front of them, which had a great shock to their bodies and minds.

Although the coalition army still only has a size of more than 40 people, no one regards the coalition army as an inconspicuous small mercenary group anymore. Even the members of the coalition army have begun to regard themselves as members of a large mercenary group .

The biggest difference between a large mercenary group and many small mercenary groups is not the strength of the mercenaries, but whether the mercenary group has a stable source of income. This is the real gap between the large mercenary group and the small mercenary group where.

In terms of the strength of the mercenaries, some small mercenary groups also have very powerful members, and they all have the strength of the sword emperor or the great magister, but the mercenary group they belong to is still a small mercenary group.

Small mercenary regiments like this are generally for fun, or mercenary regiments put together by a few strong men. Although they are strong enough, their members don't want to be mercenaries for the rest of their lives, so for They don't care much about the development of the mercenary group, and they don't deliberately look for a stable source of income.

But for a mercenary group like the Allied Forces who are determined to be mercenaries for the rest of their lives, they usually need to consider many things. How to expand the size of the mercenary group, improve the strength of its members, find a stable source of income, etc. Issues they need to care about.

Auctioning soaking places is the coalition's first stable source of income. Although as time goes by, the number of soaking places on hand will become less and less, but even in the smallest year, the number of soaking places can reach five one, that's enough.

And from now to that day, there will be several decades. As long as the coalition forces do not make too many mistakes, with the shrewdness of Emma and Britney, they will definitely be able to find a new source of stable income.

More importantly, the coalition forces have a certain share in Fatty Haji's caravan. Now that Fatty Haji's caravan is still small, it is definitely impossible to make much money by relying on him.But after decades of development of Fatty Haji's caravan and a firm foothold in the Kingdom of Skansen, the coalition forces will continue to receive dividends from Fatty Haji's caravan. A steady source of income!

For other large mercenary groups, the stable source of income is not only the caravan they support, but also the value of the props produced by professionals such as blacksmiths, alchemists, pharmacists, and enchanters they have trained.After meeting the internal needs of the mercenary group, these professionals use their technology to produce more props, and these props can also bring a lot of income to the mercenary group after they are sold.

The coalition forces still have a long way to go in this regard. After all, the coalition forces are not strong enough and not well-known enough. Those professionals will not take the initiative to sell themselves now.

Patrick is an exception. If it weren't for his strength that limited his growth, he wouldn't have joined the coalition.But even so, Patrick joined the coalition and enjoyed preferential treatment that professionals of other large mercenary regiments did not have at all.

As long as Patrick meets the needs of the coalition forces, the additional alchemy potions he made are completely his own property, and the coalition forces will not ask for any of them.This also means that although the coalition forces can meet their needs in terms of alchemy potions, they cannot extract more money from the alchemists. In other words, Patrick has not been able to provide any income for the coalition forces so far!

However, the income from the auction of soaking places can completely make up for the shortcomings of the coalition forces in this regard, and there will only be more and no less, so the coalition forces are not short of money on hand. All kinds of props!

In addition to these stable incomes, adventures in Wangyou Forest, escorting caravans, etc. are considered unstable incomes.

After all, whether it is an adventure or escorting a caravan, life will be in danger. If something happens, the coalition army will not only have no income, but the mercenary group will have to take out a sum of money as a pension. If you make a profit, you will lose a fortune, so these incomes can only be regarded as unstable incomes.

Without a stable income, even if the mercenary group is very strong, with a large number of people, and a great reputation, it is not a large mercenary group, let alone compete for the title of the top ten mercenary groups.

The top ten mercenary regiments are not so competitive. Although the coalition forces have a stable income, it will take several years of hard work to compete for the title of the top ten mercenary regiments in Coriano City.As for the top ten mercenary regiments competing for the Kingdom of Skansen, that might not be a goal that can be achieved within a few years.

It can be said that the current coalition forces already have the skeleton of a large-scale mercenary group, but if they want to truly grow into a large-scale mercenary group, they need continuous efforts.

But even though there is still a gap between the coalition forces and the real large mercenary groups, at least the mentality of the coalition members has gradually moved closer to that of the members of the large mercenary groups. Otherwise, how could they have the time to prepare for the new year?

Even the members of the coalition who can calmly deal with high-level monsters made a lot of jokes in the process of preparing for the New Year. Even the thoughtful people like Emma and Britney are no exception. And if Melinda and Fatty Haji's family members help, it is estimated that the members of the coalition forces may not be able to arrange the garrison until the New Year comes.
