9. historical answer: whoever will pay them
Edited on Thu Mar-22-07 10:41 AM by kineneb
mercs throughout history were only loyal to whoever paid them...the minute the money stops, they could, and often would, change sides to the new paymaster... or turn on the former paymaster to extract their back pay. Mercenaries have always been a bad idea.
