I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 162: Continue Southward

"Thank you, Captain Apollo, for saving us! Otherwise, we would have been killed and robbed by these bandits today." Liv and the others regained their freedom after receiving Alpha's order. Fortunately, after counting the supplies, no losses were found, and the casualties were basically gangster mercenaries.

"It's nothing, just a little help." Alpha just stared at Liv enthusiastically.

Feeling Apollo's fiery gaze, Liv looked at Apollo and a figure appeared in her mind.

"Is there anything else I can help you with, Miss Liv?" Since he couldn't recognize Liv in this situation, Alpha could only pretend not to know her.

"Captain Apollo, we want to hire you. How much is your commission?" Liv's main purpose for coming here was to hire the Sky Mercenaries. Those rogue mercenaries now seemed like an eyesore even if they were just decorations.

"We already have an employer and need to go to the capital. If it's on the way, you can discuss it with Guromas." Alpha did not agree immediately.

"It's just on our way. Once we reach the capital, we want to hire you to go to Cross. Money is not a problem. The most important thing is that I trust you." After seeing Apollo's powerful strength and his attitude towards employers, Liv decided to hire the Sky Mercenaries.

"We'll talk about this later. If there's nothing else important now, we'll accept Miss Liv's employment." Cross is the commercial city, the Dark City, and Alpha's destination is there.

"Sorry to bother you, Captain. I'll have to go back to the carriage first." Feeling Apollo's burning gaze, Liv felt a little worried, but there was a hint of familiarity in this gaze.

Apollo's gaze made Liv worried, but she also felt a sense of familiarity. She couldn't help but think of the time she had spent in that land, when she fought side by side with Alpha and experienced countless battles together. Now that they met again, this familiarity made her feel more intimate, and the Apollo in front of her seemed to overlap with the figure of Alpha.

"Apollo, how much is the commission for hiring your Sky Mercenary Group?" Liv was a little nervous, but she thought that if the Sky Mercenary Group could join her caravan, it would definitely be a help. However, if the commission was too high, Liv could not afford it. After all, Liv's situation in the family was not good.

"Our Sky Mercenary Group has always had a good reputation and is great value for money, but we do not accept betrayal or assassination missions. This is the rule of our group. Don't worry, Miss Liv, as long as the mission you provide does not violate our rules, we will definitely do our best." Alpha showed a sunny smile and looked very sincere.

"Assassination or betrayal? What kind of mission is this?" Liv was a little confused. The mercenaries she hired always abided by the rules very much, and she had never heard of mercenaries taking on missions that violated professional ethics.

"Oh, this is what we call assassination and betrayal missions," Alpha explained patiently.

"You actually accepted this kind of mission?" Liv asked in surprise. She had never thought that a profession like mercenary could be associated with darkness, and her fear of this world deepened.

"Well, we have no choice. After all, the price they offered is too high. Moreover, these people are all unforgivable bad guys. Killing them is also to eliminate harm for the people, but this is professional ethics. Once we cross the bottom line, there is no way back, so we can never accept it!" Alpha said solemnly.

As night fell, Liv turned and left.

Alpha followed closely behind her and sent her out, the two of them walking one in front and one behind, like a pair of lovers. Not long after they walked, Alpha suddenly took a step forward, put his arms around Liv's slender waist, and covered her red lips at the same time, and refused to let go no matter how she struggled.

"If you don't scream, I'll let you go." Alpha dragged Liv to a dark and deserted corner, and only let go of her hand after getting her consent.

"Captain Apollo, I already have a lover. If you force me, you will only get a corpse!" Liv understood that it would be a pipe dream to escape from the other party.

"I heard that you like your man very much? Let me guess, is his name Alpha?" Alpha knew the other party's weakness and teased her deliberately.

"How do you know?" Liv was shocked, because few people knew about this, and even the closest old butler stayed in a distant city to manage the trade.

"Because I am Alpha." Alpha immediately changed his tone.

"Alpha?" Liv thought the voice sounded like Alpha, but the face she saw was completely wrong.

"No, you must be lying to me. You just want to possess me. You are so despicable!" Liv came to her senses immediately, took a few steps back, tripped over a stone and fell to the ground.

"Liv, why are you so careless? I really am Alpha!" Alpha picked her up and comforted her with heartache.

"Then sing 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' for me." Liv still doubted his identity.

"When did I ever sing 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' to you? It was obviously you who sang it for me!" Alpha remembered that he only gave the lyrics.

"Lord Alpha, it's really you, but your face..." Liv curiously stretched out her finger and touched it, and actually wiped off a layer of paint.

"Ah! Don't wipe it off. The little monkey is not here. If you rub it off, no one will do my makeup." Alpha quickly held Liv's little hand.

"Wow, are you really Lord Alpha?" Liv was unexpectedly so surprised that she burst into tears. No matter how Alpha tried to coax her, it was of no use. Alpha could only hold Liv and move away from here. It was too unsafe here.

Liv cried for almost an hour before she fell asleep in Alpha's warm arms. Looking at Liv's delicate face, Alpha didn't have the heart to disturb Liv who was sleeping soundly. It seemed that this girl hadn't had a good sleep for a long time.

Late at night, Liv felt the touch on her body and woke up immediately. Looking at the strange face and the familiar smell, it seemed real and illusory. Liv wanted to struggle, but Alpha held her tighter.

"Liv, what's wrong?" Alpha asked gently.

"Lord Alpha, are you really here? Are we dreaming?" Liv hugged Alpha tightly, fearing that this was just a dream.

Alpha comforted him softly, "It's okay, I'm here this time, you can hold me tightly."

Liv sobbed softly, "Grandpa is gone. They all want to take away the things Grandpa gave me. I don't want them anymore. I'm so tired. Lord Alpha, please take me away! The farther the better."

Originally, Liv just thought that everyone was just coveting the family property left by her grandfather and would not do anything to her. She made money, and everything would be the same as when her grandfather was alive, not a penny less.

However, this time, the rogue mercenaries and the old housekeeper's undisguised words made her feel chilled, but her grandfather wanted to pass all the family property to her, and she didn't want to disappoint him.

"It's okay. If you don't want to go back, then come with me and be my little wife. You'll have a great time eating, drinking and playing every day." Alpha didn't care about the family property, he just wanted Liv to be happy.

After hearing Alpha's promise, Liv felt a little nervous. She was worried that Alpha would not cherish her in the future and that she would disappoint her grandfather.

"But grandpa wants me to make the decision, and I don't want him to be disappointed."

"Then take it. I'll go back with you this time and see who dares to touch my little wife's things." Alpha would not let his belongings be lost easily.

"Who is your little wife? Aren't you ashamed?" Liv said coquettishly.

Alpha did not argue and said, "Then Liv doesn't want to be my little wife?"

Liv blushed and felt sweet in her heart. If she had Alpha to protect her, life would surely be a little easier.

"Yes, I do." Liv hugged Alpha tightly and curled up in his arms.

Suddenly, Liv felt Alpha's touch and immediately tightened her legs, whispering, "Master Alpha, I'm sorry, I can't do it today."

"I can use my mouth and hands, Lord Alpha." Looking at Alpha's disappointed eyes, Liv blushed and lowered her head.

……

After Alpha and others took a short rest, the main force set out again on the morning of the third day.

Liv found Guromas and discussed for a long time, and finally paid half of the commission of the Sky Mercenary Group. Everyone got what they needed.

The Liv caravan needed real mercenaries to protect them, the Ancient Romans team needed to cover their identities, and the Sky Mercenaries were eager for money and identity recognition, so the three parties hit it off.

Alpha originally wanted to leave a small team for Tasri, but in the end only five people were left. The reason was that Athena chose to stay. Her relationship with Alpha was a little unclear and needed to be calmed down.

Alpha's main force consisted of less than twenty men. He selected twenty men from among the bandit hostages. These men were all former followers of the merchant. They were originally fattened up and used as food reserves, and now they became trainee mercenaries of the Sky Mercenary Corps, making up the size of forty men.

Liv's mercenary group has now officially ended their mercenary career and has become a laborer. Although it is a bit hard, everyone feels at ease and it can be regarded as a formal job.

"Liv, when you go back, divide the family business. We only want the north-south trade, and we will give up the east-west industries." Alpha has made up his mind.

"Lord Apollo, our Gust family does not have much trade in the north-south direction. Our family's business is still in the luxury goods trade with West Germany and the Frankish Empire. In the east, it is the trade of grain and supplies. There is basically nothing in the north and south." Liv frowned. What is the difference between doing this and giving up the family.

"We need to open up a weapons and equipment route to the north. You don't have to worry about the supply, I will provide it." Alpha was thinking about the next plan.

"Lord Apollo, can you really get weapons and equipment?" Liv asked in surprise. In troubled times, the best things are weapons and equipment, followed by food and medicine, then gold, and the least valuable thing is human life.

It seems that the European continent is about to fall into war, and the prices of weapons and equipment are getting higher and higher. Even if you have money now, you may not be able to get them.

The equipment Liv got this time was of average quality, but the price was not low, and she got it thanks to her family connections, which shows the importance of the source of goods.

"Look at their equipment and weapons. I can provide them to you, but we don't need luxury goods. We need gold and silver, or food and supplies, or at least people." Whether it is the Titanium Mine City or other areas, Alpha's population is seriously insufficient.

"Lord Apollo, their weapons are top-grade. Once they enter the market, we can sell as many as you want. If you can meet the supply needs, then our Gust family will definitely prosper." Liv is a business genius and sees things more deeply than Alpha.

"Okay, then this line will be handed over to you from now on. I plan to turn the Tagula village into a trade warehouse, and you can get the items directly there." Alpha has already planned everything.

"Okay, we have a route north, but Lord Apollo, why do you want a route south? Do you want to go out to sea?"
