In order to recover the territory in the hands of some old nobles, the imperial family ignored the opposition of the imperial ministers and the aristocratic alliance, insisted on going its own way, forcibly revised the imperial aristocratic law, increased the taxes paid by the nobles, and recovered the unconditional hereditary inheritance rights of the nobles, stipulating that every generation of nobles must hand over one-tenth of the territory to the imperial family, which is at the disposal of the imperial family, and after ten generations, they automatically lose their noble status and all their territories.

The imperial family's insistence on going its own way seriously violated the interests of the nobility and caused a strong backlash from the nobility. After the imperial family revised the aristocratic law, these nobles immediately strengthened their cooperation, stopped paying taxes to the imperial family, formed a noble alliance, placed it under the leadership of the noble alliance, carried out armed secession, demanded that the imperial emperor step down, abolish the imperial aristocratic law, and give the nobles the highest degree of autonomy.

Of course, the imperial family would not agree to the request of the Noble Alliance, and immediately declared the Noble Alliance a rebel organization, and recruited soldiers in the direct territory of the Empire, formed a large army, and prepared to conquer the Noble Alliance and recover the territory in the hands of the Noble Alliance.

The actions of the imperial family aroused the anger of the noble alliance, and the noble alliance immediately publicly read the emperor's guilt, and strongly demanded that the emperor step down, recruit troops on a large scale, and prepare to invade the imperial direct territory on a large scale, capture the imperial capital with arms, and pull the emperor off the horse.

The entire Ultron Empire was shrouded in a cloud of war as the Imperial Empire and the Noble Alliance continued to fight a secret war, recruiting soldiers and forming armies ready for an unprecedented war.

It's just that there has been no major war in the direct jurisdiction of the Ultron Empire for 10,000 years, and the people have lived in peace for a long time, and there are not many people willing to join the army and fight with the army of the noble alliance, and the recruitment of the imperial family has been carried out for a full month, and only one million qualified soldiers have been recruited, which is still a lot short of the planned 10 million soldiers.

At this time, the Noble Alliance has successfully recruited a full 20 million soldiers, and is undergoing arduous training, once the army of the Noble Alliance has completed training, it will launch an attack on the direct territory of the Empire, and the Imperial Family has little time to prepare.

In order to recruit enough soldiers as soon as possible, the Imperial Family forcibly distributed the required soldiers to the thirty-two provinces under its direct jurisdiction, and then to the major cities and villages under the thirty-two provinces.

Not many of the provincial capitals and large, medium, and small cities in the thirty-two provinces were willing to join the army and fight against the armies of the aristocratic alliance, so most of the nine million soldiers were forcibly distributed to the subordinate villages and towns by the upper echelons of the provincial cities and large, medium, and small cities in the thirty-two provinces.

Unfortunately, Linghe Village was allocated a full sixty places. Sixty soldiers were nothing at all for Linghe Village, which had hundreds of households and thousands of people, and Lin Hai easily recruited sixty elite men.

It's just that these sixty elite men are all ordinary broken families, not even a first-level warrior, they are just ordinary elite strong men, and they can't meet the tasks assigned to Lin Hai by Lingwu City.

You must know that the recruitment task assigned to Lin Hai by Lingwu City is to recruit sixty soldiers, including ten first-class soldiers, three second-level soldiers, and forty-seven ordinary and strong soldiers.

And now the sixty people recruited by Lin Hai are all ordinary and strong, which is far from the task requirements assigned to him by Lingwu City.

Just when Lin Hai was worried, Zhao Hu appeared, which made Lin Hai happy in his heart and paid attention to Zhao Hu.

According to Lin Hai's observation, Zhao Hu should be a third-level warrior, if Zhao Hu can be recruited into the quota of soldiers, then Zhao Hu alone is worth ten first-level warriors and three second-level warriors, so that he can successfully complete the tasks assigned to him by Lingwu City.

"Brother Zhao, you haven't thought about joining the army and having a background in the army!"

After chatting with Zhao Hu for a long time, Lin Hai looked at Zhao Hu with an expectant look on his face and asked.

"Village Chief Lin, it's not an easy thing to get a background in the army! Now who doesn't know, there is no return to Taiwan in the army, no backer, even if the ability is great, at most he is just a non-commissioned officer, not even a lieutenant, let alone a Bo background! ”

Hearing Lin Hai's words, Zhao Hu said helplessly.

In the conversation with Lin Hai, Zhao Hu has learned that the Ultron Empire has been peaceful for 10,000 years, there have been no major wars for 10,000 years, the army has long been decayed, the army is full of the children of the powerful, there is no backer, and it is almost impossible to get ahead in the army!

"Brother Zhao, it's really not easy for the Imperial Standing Legion to come out! But the new army that the empire is forming is very easy to get ahead! You must know that in order to conquer the noble alliance, His Majesty the Emperor has recruited 10 million soldiers, and he can easily have ten legions, and among the ten newly formed legions, there are countless officer positions, with Brother Zhao's ability, as long as he joins the new army, it is very easy to get ahead! ”

Seeing that Zhao Hu intended to join the army and had a background in the army, Lin Hai was overjoyed in his heart and immediately said loudly.

"Village Chief Lin, the new army is indeed easy to get ahead, but the new army is weak in combat, and it will not be long before it will start a fierce battle with the army of the noble alliance, and it can die tragically in the war at any time, which is very dangerous!"

Hearing Lin Hai's words, Zhao Hu shook his head lightly and said.

"Brother Zhao, the so-called wealth is in danger! It is precisely because it is very dangerous to join the new army, so those children of the powerful will not join the new army, and Brother Zhao is easy to be promoted in the new army, and Bo has a background! If the new army is not dangerous, and the children of those powerful people are not frantically pouring in, there is a chance for Brother Zhao to come out! ”

As soon as Zhao Hu's voice fell, Lin Hai loudly admonished.

Hearing Lin Hai's words, Zhao Hu nodded secretly in his heart, knowing that the new army was a good place for him to get ahead! Zhao Hu, whose hometown is on the earth, how could he not know the truth of power coming out of the barrel of a gun! As long as you control the army, you don't have to worry about having no chance of getting ahead.

Especially the new army is being formed, because the new army is very dangerous, the children of the powerful have not poured in, which gives Zhao Hu a lot of opportunities to stand out in the new army, if Zhao Hu does not seize this opportunity, then he will be very sorry for the good opportunity created for him by the noble alliance.

Zhao Hu, who had made a decision in his heart, said with a look of embarrassment: "Village Chief Lin, you also know that I am an adventurer, I have no fixed residence, I don't have any household registration at all, and it is not easy to join the army!" ”

Seeing that Zhao Hu had the intention of joining the army, Lin Hai was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Brother Zhao, you can rest assured!" Leave your household registration problem to me, and I'll help you solve the household registration problem! ”

Pulling Zhao Hu into the new army and completing the task assigned by Lingwu City, Lin Hai was very happy in his heart, and chatted with Zhao Hu more enthusiastically.

After having lunch with Zhao Hu, Lin Hai summoned the sixty elite men who had already been recruited to his mansion, introduced Zhao Hu to them, and asked Zhao Hu to take care of the sixty elite men, so he took Zhao Hu and sixty elite men on the dock, took the cargo ship on the dock, went down the Ling River, and sailed in the direction where Lingwu City was located.

Sitting on the cargo ship running down the Ling River, Zhao Hu, under the introduction of Lin Hai, had a brief acquaintance with the sixty elite men in the cargo ship, and remembered the names of the sixty elite men in his heart.

And the sixty elite men, also under Lin Hai's detailed introduction, knew that Zhao Hu was an adventurer with the strength of a third-level warrior, and under Lin Hai's guidance, they recognized Zhao Hu as the leader, and after entering Lingwu City, they obeyed Zhao Hu's orders.

Zhao Hu didn't care much about the sixty elite men on the cargo ship, if it weren't for Lin Hai's face, he wouldn't have accepted these sixty ordinary elite men as his junior brother!

After all, the sixty elite men on the cargo ship were not even first-class warriors, they were just ordinary warriors, and Zhao Hu could easily kill them all by himself, which would not help Zhao Hu at all.

Zhao Hu had already thought in his heart, after entering Lingwu City, if these sixty strong people unconditionally obeyed their orders, they could also treat them as their own subordinates, and simply cultivate, if these sixty strong people disobeyed their orders, or ignored their orders at all, then Zhao Hu had no choice but to give them up and recruit a group of subordinates in the new army to serve him.

Zhao Hu, who had an idea in his heart, did not have a close relationship with the sixty elite sets in the cargo ship, but set his eyes on both sides of the Ling River, carefully observing the environment on both sides of the Ling River.

The Ling River stretches for thousands of miles, running through dozens of cities, thousands of villages and towns, and the banks of the river are either fertile farmland and shady woods, or densely populated, boat-like villages and towns, which are obviously very prosperous.

Looking at the prosperous scenes on both sides of the Ling River, Zhao Hu could deduce that the Ultron Empire was very strong and had great war potential.

It's just that the war potential of the Ultron Empire has not been fully exploited at all, otherwise, there would not have been a conscription for a month, and only one million soldiers would have been levied, which would not even be a tenth of the planned conscription.

The prosperous scenes on both sides of the Ling River, as well as the results of the military conscription of the Ultron Empire, made Zhao Hu secretly speculate that the influence of the royal family of the Ultron Empire on the territory directly under the empire was not as great as he imagined.

Although there are no nominal nobles in the territory directly under the Ultron Empire, there are invisible nobles who control the power of various parts of the Ultron Empire, making the presence of the imperial family in various places very low.
