Chapter 5: Preparations for War (5)
- Fight against greed.
Once the negotiation is over, once the word crusade is concrete, then the actions of the stakeholders will be very fast, and besides, it is just speeding up the events that have been planned for a long time.
Previously, Brad Wright was in charge of the responsibility of collecting as many weapons and props as possible to run around to prevent incidents, which has been well completed, and Crantil has also gathered the raiding team that has been prepared for a long time, and coupled with the security of the logistics force as a means of transporting people and materials, he has not even had time to drink tea since returning to the imperial capital.
Villages all over the empire have also shifted from outdoor labor to indoors, and there are fewer people going out, because it has reached the season when the exhaled breath turns white, so there are not many people who are still busy at this time, but the adventurers who can't be idle all year round are different.
In response to the Empire's call, a squad of adventurers numbering in the hundreds joined the raiding party.
Contrary to the seasons, today's imperial capital is not very cold, but is full of noisy heat, but this noise is somewhat different from other cities in the empire, and it is different from the vigorous vitality, but from other feelings.
The source of the heat is in the imperial city of the imperial capital.
There were countless people gathered there, most of them wearing cloth armor, and a few of them were wearing armor, which was quite an astonishing number, about 10,000 people, because to prevent a sudden war, only this part of the army could be dispatched.
Although it is not very numerous, its strength is one of the best elites.
There were loud shouts everywhere, of course, not many of them were made with a positive attitude, most of them came from the fear of the next fight, the anxiety that if you didn't fight to the death, you couldn't go back safely, and you were driven by such things.
However, not everyone approaches this matter with such a negative attitude.
Wars with Warcraft happen every year, but most of them are carried out by special forces dedicated to fighting Warcraft, they are stationed on the border where Warcraft is more, and although some of them have already arrived in time, the large force is not expected to arrive until tonight.
It is also inevitable that it has only been two days since the detection of greed is about to appear, and the armament and troops are already at the current limit.
People who are not motivated to lie on the edge of the unobtrusive stone steps, gloomy people who complain about their dissatisfaction to the people next to them, people who squat on their knees, and so on.
The older they get, the more they have this tendency, the soldiers who have no fighting spirit at all and just want to go back alive.
This is the reality of the Imperial Army, but there is no way to do it, they are forcibly summoned, although there are military rewards to ask for a thin life, but the opponent is not a human but a human race from ancient times to the present The Seven Sins that have not tasted a single victory, this is like wasting their time, even if they go back alive, it is like the rope around the neck is slowly becoming tighter, and they will soon have to face soldiers from other countries.
Isn't that any different from slowly moving towards death?
The wagons passed by the soldiers, and the freight platforms bulged out, filled with a large number of props, such as potions and magic crystals.
The listless people looked at the carriages with fear, as if they had seen death slowly approaching them, and most of those who knew what was going to happen next thought the same.
The items have been transported, which means that the war with greed is about to begin.
Crantiel stood wordless, beside the four of them, unaware of what they were discussing.
"Lord Lawson, first of all, adventurers, in addition to the bronze medal level, are stronger than ordinary soldiers, you know."
Brad Reiter coughed, and Rosentier replied:
"Well, of course I know, so the adventurers I recruited this time are all above Mithril, of which there are about fifteen people at the orichalcum level and about three people at the steel level."
"Ten...... Fifteen people, second only to the oliverite level of the Hero Realm Stainless Steel...... Also, the steel grade ......"
In wars between nations, adventurers are not allowed to be hired by either side, but in the face of Warcraft, the exception is to be called, so their influence can be so wide at the call of the state.
Any adventurer at the orichal bronze level, if he throws away the identity of an adventurer, in the empire, the lowest position is also a knight, and the steel level is a candidate who can be qualified for the four knights.
"Count Rosen, we're ready to take our seats."
Suddenly, the adventurer in heavy armor left, and after receiving a nod from Rosentier, he walked to the periphery of the army, looking at the gathered hundred people with a serious expression.
Everyone's original expressions vanished, and they leaned slightly against the wall, leaning their faces towards the other companions.
"First of all, check the details of the request."
Making sure that everyone's eyes were gathered, it seemed to be the man at the head of the group, Krota continued, his tone was completely different from what he had just been, serious when he should be, this is the attitude that a team leader should have.
"This time the client is Count Rosentier, the content of the commission is to participate in the greedy crusade with the crusading army, each person's reward is one hundred Osig gold coins, and then one hundred and fifteen after completion, the total value of 100,000 Star Falling Tower, this commission is rare The deposit and final payment are very high, and the amount is very huge, not only that, but there will be additional bonuses according to the merits of the battle, but what we have to do should be much more than the average soldier."
Krota will tell the adventurers present what she has heard, and she continues with satisfaction at everyone's expressions.
"The duration won't be very long, but the intensity is tantamount to high difficulty, so confirm here that if you want to quit, it's still too late, and after paying the deposit, you won't have to choose."
Known as one of the Seven Sins, the intensity of the Monster's greed is not a joke, so the adventurer's work can almost be called a high-intensity mission, and if you are not careful, you will die in the wilderness.
"The most important point is that there is money to spend only when there is life, do you want to quit?"
As soon as he spoke, the atmosphere of the scene changed, no one stretched out his hand, which meant that no one was willing to quit, seeing everyone's eyes glow, Crota handed over the topic to his other two companions.
"Then, the equipment and props will be provided by Count Rosentier, including the food during the mercenary period, which will also be provided by Count Rosentier, and the above, okay, Lu Luwei, Rob Xi, tell me about the content of your investigation."
"βLet me say first, that Rosentier was very stable in his position at court, and among the nobles he had the most wealth, and I heard that he was in hostile relations with the emperor, but he did not have any difficulties with money."
"Then the next is me, the information about greed, I have confirmed it with Count Rosentier, I have also investigated with Lu Luwei, it seems that the empire has formed an alliance with a mysterious person, and the information is provided by him, since it is the seven sins, it should be very mysterious according to reason...... To be honest, I don't understand how they know this information, but since it was provided by the Empire, it should not deviate too much from reality, and next, I will read out the information. β
