Het huurlingenleger werd ingezet in de gevaarlijke operatie.
The mercenary army was deployed in the dangerous operation.
Again, 'huurlingenleger' denotes an entity composed of hired soldiers, emphasizing their motivation driven by monetary compensation rather than personal allegiance or duty.

In this context, 'huurlingenleger' is discussed historically, depicting it as an advantageous element during warfare, without directly participating in an ongoing event but reflecting on its historical implications and role.
