Capítulo 92: Chapter 091 Medieval Mercenaries

Richard walked into the inn and looked around, noticing the town's residents, passers-by, and, of course, a hard-to-miss Mercenary Team, raising an eyebrow slightly.

In the Medieval era, there indeed existed Mercenary Teams or Mercenary Groups, considered some of the earliest mercenaries. They varied in size and were favored by many small countries or Small Nobles. After all, some small countries might only have a few cities, and some Small Nobles could only have a castle, a town, or a few villages, incapable of maintaining an army on their own. Therefore, when an army was needed, they had to spend a significant amount of money to hire mercenaries.

Generally speaking, the tasks assigned to mercenaries varied greatly, some were arduous, like ensuring the security of a city or participating in a battle until victory was achieved. Others were almost laughable, such as protecting a noble's lover at all times or hunting a special beast in the forest, among others.
