When the two of them came out of the town hall, it was already noon.

Lei Ye looked at the flush on Ruigana's face that had not yet subsided, and couldn't help but smile: "Do you want to have a meal together?" ”

Rigana glared at him, then summoned the griffin and left without saying a word.

Renard stood in place, looking at the other party's disappearing figure, and his face suddenly showed a playful little face.

He put his hand on the wing of his nose and smelled it, and the body fragrance that belongs to women clearly entered his nostrils, which was really intoxicating.

Looking left and right, seeing that no one was paying attention, Lei Ye walked towards the nearest restaurant to him.

It was dinner time, and there were a lot of people in the restaurant, and his arrival did not attract attention.

Everyone was still eating, drinking, and talking.

Renard ordered a platter of pies and veggies, and listened to the conversation as he enjoyed his meal.

In general, they are blowing cowhides that have no nutrients, and occasionally there is news about demons, but they are all chasing after the wind and shadows, and there is no real evidence.

Just as he was about to check out and leave after eating, the conversation between the two mercenaries at the next table suddenly caught his attention.

"The Lion Hunt Mercenary Regiment has finally made a big deal this time, I heard that they were involved in the attack on the mission some time ago, and this matter was put on the court meeting for discussion......

The king ordered the lion hunt mercenary group to be disbanded on the spot, and all the core members were arrested and imprisoned. ”

"This is a good thing for us, in the past, they were the only family in the mercenary world, and everyone ate meat, so let's drink some soup at most, but now that they are disbanded, our good days are here." ”

"What a fart, the king took advantage of the topic and ordered the mercenary guild in Arthur's kingdom to be rectified, stipulating that the total number of mercenary groups in the country should not exceed five hundred, and the maximum number of each mercenary group should not exceed fifty. ”

"Damn, that's a fart, the monster is so powerful, how can fifty people deal with it. ”

"Are you stupid, people mean that they are afraid that we will gang up to make trouble, as long as you can get by on face, who cares about you so much. ”

Listening to the conversation of the mercenaries, Lei Ye knew that King Ferdinand had begun to attack the two major families.

The Mercenary Guild is just an ordinary civil organization, somewhat similar to the ICRC in the previous life, but now it is directly subject to the royal family.

Of course, this is of great benefit to the country, and increasing the control of civilian armed forces can make the mercenary industry more standardized, and at the same time, it can also make a lot of money from it.

In many countries, the actual controller of the mercenary guild is the royal family, but the kingdom of Arthur has just been founded, and it has always been in turmoil, so it does not care about this matter.

Now that the Lion Hunt Mercenary Regiment has happened, King Ferdinand has finally realized the importance of this organization.

Renard sat back in his seat and ordered a bottle of cider to pour himself a drink.

I heard those mercenaries holding up the manual and complaining: "Fuck it, now the mercenary guild is getting wider and wider, look at the ...... written on it"

Renard glanced twice, and found that the cover of the manual was written in six large characters: "Mercenary Specification Manual".

He summoned the servant and gave him two silver coins, and the servant took two small kegs of ale from behind the counter and brought them to the mercenary tables, and then the "Mercenary Specification Manual" fell into his hands.

Lei Ye casually glanced at it a few times, and found that the general content was no different from the previous one, except that a few clauses were added to the back, which were highlighted in red, and they were basically clauses that strengthened the country's control over mercenaries and mercenary guilds.

This is understandable, the kingdom of Arthur is poor and weak, and many people who can't survive have taken the risk of embarking on the path of mercenaries.

According to the Gestapo, there are as many as 150,000 mercenaries in Arthur's kingdom, which is almost the same as the number of troops when you count the adventurers who do not have mercenary licenses, which is a rather unstable factor.

If such a huge organization is not strictly managed, any chaos that breaks out will immediately become a major upheaval that will sweep the whole country.

As a result, King Ferdinand set up an independent department under the Military Affairs Department a few days ago, with the Deputy Minister of Military Affairs supervising the Mercenary Guild.

Renard touched his chin, the mercenary guild is supervised by the deputy minister of military affairs, and there seems to be another meaning in this.

After thinking about it, he suddenly understood that these mercenaries were unstable at best, but they were non-reserve troops at best.

The Cronin family can use mercenaries to secretly fight the royal family, why can't the royal family use mercenaries to counteract?

The strength of the mercenaries is no worse than that of ordinary soldiers, and they are still superior in terms of combat experience, and with a little training, they will become a strong army.

The biggest advantage is that they can be disbanded on the spot after they are used up, and they don't have to spend money to support them.

According to Lei Ye's understanding of Ferdinand, these things are definitely not something that the other party can consider, and most of them have people behind their backs.

He took the manual and continued to flip through the back, and found that in addition to the stricter management of mercenaries, the management of employers in the mercenary guild has also become stricter, and it is no longer possible to hide his identity and issue tasks as before.

In particular, tasks such as hiring guards or thugs cannot be released at will, and even if they are released, there are many requirements for the number of people to hire.

From these strict regulations, it can be seen that if the Mercenary Guild was not a large international organization, I am afraid that it would have been annexed or dissolved by King Ferdinand long ago.

Putting down the manual, Renard got up and left the restaurant.

Basking in the sun and breathing in the fresh air cleared his mind a little.

The king's side has already made a move, and naturally he can't be idle.

Summoning the griffin, he returned directly to the City of Plenty.

The gate of the castle has already been opened, even if Heidi doesn't want Lei Ye to enter, she has to let her subordinates report to work.

Lei Ye quietly entered the castle like this, and even coaxed Betty to get it, and then educated Serena and Gina with a straight face, which made the two women feel that they had made a mistake.

Heidi is the most difficult to coax, but fortunately, Lei Ye has a killer feature, which is a precious and intimate gift and a sincere attitude to admit mistakes.

He bought a lot of precious potions in the system mall, many of which have the effects of strengthening the body, improving strength, detoxifying and nourishing the skin, and lied that they were obtained at a great cost, which made the other party lose some anger.

The next move is to change the subject and look to the future: "I have reached an agreement with His Majesty that in a few days His Majesty will hold a pledge meeting to officially march to Kale County, and I will send troops in due course." ”

Renard looked at the few women around him, and his expression became extremely serious: "If this battle is won, from now on, the Cabbage County, the Southern Wilderness County, and the Barren Land will be merged into the Gannan Province, and I will serve as the governor, if I am defeated, ......"

He didn't continue, presumably several women knew in their hearts what the consequences were.

When the women heard this, they suddenly became nervous, and they completely forgot about the fact that they wanted to join forces to crusade against Lei Ye.

Renard was secretly snickering: That's it!
