Chapter 390: A Three-Year Commitment
When Peake walked into the lobby, Amanda was mobilizing the mute slaves for war, and yesterday's mobilization ended in failure, and today he came prepared. "You are a bunch of homeless homeless people! The Great Wall of the North is your home!" shouted Captain Amanda.
"If you have completed your military service, after three or five years, and then return to the south, the kingdom will give you land according to merit. ”
"Those who have made great merit or have been in the military for an extended period of time can also get the kingdom's house directly!"
"Are you going to cramble into this filthy place for the rest of your life? Yes, there's free hot porridge, there's free vegetables, but can you eat meat!"
"I, Amanda, am here to assure you that as long as you join the army, you will be guaranteed to have endless beef to eat and wine to drink......"
I have to say that the speech of the chief of security Amanda was sonorous and powerful, and the tone was frustrating, so that the newly arrived Pique couldn't help but want to go to the battlefield to fight after listening to it.
In fact, this learned captain was also inspired by the cardinal yesterday. The cardinal first promised Baron Hajvi Yakel great benefits, and then put forward his own conditions, and everything was done.
This is called giving a sweet jujube first, and then the stick is not so painful.
Captain Amanda is confident that he will fool this stupid mute slave worker to the north. He felt in his heart that he had made a great contribution to the peaceful town by doing so.
However, just as he was impassionedly summing up the mobilization, he felt that everyone's eyes began to look elsewhere.
Unconsciously, he followed the gaze of the slaves behind him.
Why is this kid again!?
How can you see him every day!?
The guard took a sip and observed the expressions of the slaves around him with his narrow eyes. It was clear that the blue-hatted guy had considerable influence over the group, and he made this judgment in his heart. Squeezing through the crowd, Captain Amanda wiped the sweat from her head with her fat fingers. "You...... What are you doing here? I'm on the military mission of the kingdom, so please go out first. His tone was a little uncertain, and then he added, "Wait......"
Before Peake could speak, he watched as Chief Amanda, who was wearing a linen-trimmed jacket and had a buck logo embroidered on his chest with gray and blue thread, pulled him out.
Outside the wooden door of the lobby, Chief of Security Amanda said to Peake:
"There's one thing you have to help me with, you obviously have a lot of influence over these mute homeless people, and I don't care why you make this group of people so good. Now, that goodwill has become our advantage, and we have to take advantage of it. ”
Peake frowned at this. Why would Chief of Security Amanda think he would help him, he was actually on the same side as the mute slaves. "I'm not going to help you," he refused.
The conversation came to an abrupt end, and the Chief of Guard, Amanda, refused to give up. "Zhu Tian, be sober," he shouted, "these people are vagabonds, not the inhabitants of our peaceful town, and their arrival is simply a special arrangement of the God of Light." We have to do it. ”
Still frowning, Peake corrected him and said, "Why do you say it's us? My position is different from yours, and I don't advocate sending them to the Endless Wall for military service. ”
Sergeant Amanda realized what the problem was. "Don't you know, Zhu Tian? I have to recruit enough people from the Peace Town, if these homeless people don't go to the Endless Great Wall, it should be you! And the black-faced carpenter of your family, what is his name? Ryde? The young adults in the Peace Town are limited, if I send you to the northern battlefield, the Peace Town will be much less angry, and I am all thinking about the Peace Town! Do you think I don't pity these homeless wandering sweaters? As I said, for them, this is also an opportunity! Although they will not be promoted to nobility even if they have made great achievements in the barracks, my promise is not false! When they return, they will have their own home! There will be a piece of land that the kingdom has given them to cultivate!"
The captain of the guard, with a double chin, was not very tall, and at this time he roared in Peake's ear like a frog, and Peake saw that the hairless places on the top of his head were red. "Captain Guard, even if you want to send me, you can't send them. ”
"Are you sure?!" asked Chief Amanda leaning forward. His tone changed and he said, "Look at you, hesitate." You don't have to be ashamed, not only you, but the whole peaceful town can no longer find a young man willing to serve in the military, who doesn't want to live a peaceful life in the town? Of course, I have many ways to force you to do military service, do you want me to use coercion? To tell you the truth, Baron Hygivi Yakel...... "Amanda stopped abruptly as she said this. He turned his head and saw that the mute homeless men were all standing in the doorway looking at him.
Pickup stood there dumbfounded, thinking for a long time, before he said to Amanda, the chief of security: "I'm going to serve in the military, you go to find someone else, they have already experienced enough suffering, and they must not go to the north to suffer again......" Peake said this, and also noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere around him, he looked back at Amanda's line of sight, and was surprised to find that there were already kneeling behind him, and it was black.
Pique's figure stood outside the door, the glare falling from behind him, and a slanting shadow reflected in the door.
A swarthy young man slowly stepped out of the back of the slave labour, and it was little Dormond. He was dressed in gray, no different from the slaves around him.
Without a sound, the childhood playmate that Peake watched slowly walked in front of him.
He held a note in his hand, with only one sentence on it, and Peake tapped the ink on it with a light glance to make sure that it had just been written:
"We are willing to go to the north. ”
The seven words pierced through the paper into Pique's blue-green pupils and into his brain. "No," Peake said, forcibly taking his gaze off the paper, "I don't agree." ”
"They're calling for freedom, I agree!" Chief Amanda suddenly snatched the note from him. "The north is free for them! Zhu Tian, do you want to keep them here for the rest of your life? You come here every day to feed them? The homeless people are also people, okay, they are not stray dogs, they want to have their own jobs, can you arrange jobs for them? Be realistic, young man, go to the north to fill the army...... Oh no, it's military service that is the best option for them. "Security Chief Amanda thought that it was Zhu Tian who was talking to him.
"No...... Help me, Soros......" Peake slowly lowered his head with a pained look on his face. When he looked up again, his voice suddenly became very magnetic. "Actually, there's nothing wrong with it, but you have to give them some time, how can ordinary people go to the battlefield?"
"What do you mean?" Chief of Security Amanda was a little uncomfortable with Pique's change in tone.
In fact, it is Grand Duke Soros who is now talking to Chief of Security Amanda. "Train! They need to train!"
"When they go to the north, they naturally get training in the barracks. The war hasn't started yet, and they'll have plenty of time. ”
"No, you have to fight for their opportunity to train in a peaceful town, if I'm not mistaken, the north is not in a hurry to ask for people, after all, one more person is one more mouth to eat. ”
Chief of Security Amandan was surprised by the sudden change in Pique's attitude. What he noticed at this time was that not only the attitude, but also the tone and demeanor of the blue hat in front of him seemed to be a different person. It's not the first time that Captain Amanda has had such strange feelings. Sometimes, he feels that the "blue hat" in front of him has a mental illness.
"As you say, I can write a letter to the North, but when the North is ordered to do so, they must put on their uniforms and leave the town of Peace. ”
Soros smiled: "Three years, add a date to the letter sent to the north, and you have to fight for three years." ”
"Three years? Why would the Endless Wall promise you? Do you think this is a vacation? We're very passive, okay? ”
"It would be nice to add a promise, you said that after three years, you would give them a small army that is not inferior to the regular army. Soros swept his gaze and immediately pinpointed the number of people in the room. "Well, there are more than 500 people in all, you can write a promise like this, give me three years, and I will give you an army worth 5,000 men. ”
"Five thousand? What are you kidding?"
"Actually, I want to say 50,000 people, but I'm afraid you'll be scared to death. Soros shrugged his shoulders.
Chief of Security Amanda was silent at this time, and he was very unhappy when he looked at Pique's overconfident appearance. "You have to prove that these people are all speech-handicapped and full of malnutrition, how can you say that they will be extraordinary in three years' time. ”
"Because I'll train them myself!" Soros said with a smile, "As for the proof, there is no need for proof at all, tomorrow you come to my house to withdraw 100,000 gold coins, and the benefit fee of 100,000 gold coins can gag anyone's mouth." ”
"You guy......" Chief Amanda thought for a moment, then suddenly looked away, looked at a guard who was three steps away, and said, "Get the raven from the garrison and let this guy write it by hand!" He looked at Soros again and said, "You're getting more and more surprised." "100,000 gold coins is a lot of money, but he knows that the other party can really take it. One night a few days ago, he saw this guy pull 300,000 gold coins and walk directly into the castle.
Soros smiled faintly.
Amanda has another thing in mind, you laugh, laugh quickly, there will always be a time when you cry. It won't be long before Baron Hajvi Yaker will be on his way to the north, and he will surely send Miss Haysja to the south before he leaves. Oh, the prophecy of the old priest Theon will never come true!
Soros raised his hand twice towards the door, motioning for them to get up from the ground.
The mute slaves, who were full of doubts and looked at each other, obviously heard what Soros had just said to the security chief Amanda, and only hesitated for a moment, and slowly stood up from the ground. He is mute, but not stupid, knowing that the blue hat in front of him is really good to them, and they naturally know gratitude when they have re-liberated their souls. The few words written on the note that little Dormond had just handed to Pique were their common thoughts.
Leaving the town of peace and no more trouble for their savior was the only thing they could do at this time.
Two guards trotted back, holding two fat ravens in their hands.
By this time, Soros had already handed over the written letter to the Chief of Security Amanda.
Captain Amanda glanced over and couldn't help muttering:
"In order to alleviate the pressure on military spending in the north, I, Amanda, the chief of security of the Peace Town Garrison Department, am willing to take on the task of training recruits. And hereby guarantee that after three years, it will definitely have a combat capability comparable to that of a regular army. In addition, the residents of Heping Town raised 50,000 gold coins as military expenses to support the north, wishing the war in the north all the best. ”
Amanda always felt that something was wrong, "Wait," he said to Pique, puzzled, "Why is my name written on it? Also, don't you say 100,000 gold coins? Why did it become 50,000 gold coins?"
Soros smiled deeply and said calmly:
"This is a meritorious thing, is the guard elder unwilling to claim this merit? As for the fifty thousand gold coins...... Captain Guard, imagine if someone gave me a letter and gave me 100,000 gold coins, and the letter said Filial Piety to Captain Guard 50,000 gold coins, what do you think I would do?"
"You'll put the extra 50,000 gold coins into your pocket!" Amanda suddenly lit up his eyes, and after speaking, he glanced at the slave behind him again, making sure that the other party didn't hear his voice, and then whispered to Soros, "So...... Is this extra 50,000 gold coins for me?"
