Chapter 34 Half a head

The name "Free Mercenary" sounds very attractive, but it's quite cruel. So-called free mercenaries are just those who can't find a mercenary group to join and can only seek out work on their own or in small partnerships, selling their services to whoever is willing to pay, with no guarantee of safety or money.

Free mercenaries have neither the cover of comrades-in-arms nor the assurance of reliable logistics. Frankly speaking, free mercenaries are the cannon fodder among mercenaries, and they are the ones who die the quickest.

Generally speaking, free mercenaries are those whom no mercenary group is willing to take in. Anyone who wants to scrape by under the barrel of a gun and has some skill will find a job in some mercenary group—it's just a question of how much money they can earn. Someone like Glolov, who can use a machine gun to the point of mastery and is a veteran who has been through bloody battles, would be eagerly sought after by any mercenary group.
