章 633: Three Big Shots

There was a saying among the mercenaries when Rhode was conferred a feudal rank by Lydia that his noble identity would be an excellent shield for his guild. The restrictions of manpower in a guild was limited to 800 members, but Rhode's feudal rank had given him the rights to another 2000 private soldiers. If there were any conflicts with other guilds or mercenary groups in the future, would they be facing Rhode's mercenaries or his private soldiers?

The former would be easier for them since they were mercenaries. However, it would be different if they faced the latter. Mercenaries didn't have the background of nobles and the mercenaries would be unable to bear the consequences of failure if they despised the nobles. When that happened, what would the mercenaries do if Rhode used the chance to expand his forces? Rebel? Or cooperate?
