1146 Mercenary soldiers
"Lebedanner is running out of money."
This sentence made Jeremy's expression immediately become fierce, and the feeling that his hole cards and weaknesses were being seen through was quite annoying.
What annoyed him even more was that it was still a human being.
"There's no place for you to speak, lowly human." Jeremy let out a heavy yell, and he got up and was about to slap Beta, but suddenly stopped.
There was no surprise in the human eye in front of him, only a sarcastic smile and a sharp glint.
After a long fight, he immediately returned to his chair and looked at Beta with a cloudy gaze.
He had a sense of danger just now.
Angela also found out what Jeremy wanted to do at this time, she slapped the handle of her chair, stood up suddenly, and said coldly: "Jeremy, who do you want to kill?" Well! ”
Although Jeremy's strength is indeed stronger than Angela, Angela is really not afraid of him.
This is the city of Erb, her city. There are two hundred succubi guarding outside the palace, and Li Lin is also beside her, what is she afraid of.
"I didn't want to kill anyone, I just felt angry at the thought that I was running out of money." As he spoke, his eyes were still fixed on Beta.
Beta could feel the sharpness in the other's eyes, but he still didn't care.
"You're a guest, or it's better to collect your personality." Angela snorted and sat back down, "So, what exactly do you want to do?" ”
Jeremy was a little aggrieved, he came here mainly to get a way to catch fish, but he couldn't do it, and he also wanted to get some more food from Angela's hands.
As Beta said, the city of Lebedana is running out of money, but the war with Foshia is still in a state of confrontation.
Not only did he want food, but he also wanted Angela to help.
As long as he can destroy the city of Foshia, it is not up to him to have the final say in this area.
When the time comes, Angela's Erb City will also be in his hands.
It's just that he didn't expect at all that Angela in Erb City was not only very tough, but even her human sheriff seemed to be very promising.
Things are getting a little troublesome.
"We need food." Jeremy said, "Your sheriff is smart, we really don't have any money, but we can pay by other means." It's up to you, as long as we can afford it. ”
The feeling of aggrieved grew, but Jeremy had to bow his head.
Obviously, a few months ago, Angela was said to not even dare to mess with Lime City, and she had to pay taxes, but now she dared to scold him Jeremy.
That's not right.
When did this first happen?
That human came here?
"All we need is money." Angela said lightly, "Besides, the city of Lebedana doesn't produce anything. ”
Jeremy frowned.
If it was the previous Erbu City, he could have taken it without any effort, but now the Erbu City has become a difficult bone to gnaw. He couldn't go to war with two cities at the same time.
Otherwise, he will definitely be the one who will be destroyed.
But without food, his city won't last long.
At this time, Beta suddenly spoke: "I wonder if Jeremy City Lord has heard of mercenaries?" ”
"Naturally, I've heard of it. Something made by humans. ”
"You sent some soldiers to us and served for half a year. What do you think of the exchange of thirty tons of grain for every hundred soldiers of Liberdana, or five tons of jerky? ”
Angela looked at Beta in surprise, her expression was a little strange, but she didn't stop Beta from making this suggestion.
Jeremy looked at Angela, and seeing that she didn't mean to stop the man's babbling, he had some other guesses in his mind.
"What do you want the soldiers to do?" Jeremy asked warily.
"To protect yourself, of course." Beta laughed.
After thinking for a while, Jeremy asked, "What kind of soldier is fine?" ”
"As long as you've been in battle, it's fine."
Jeremy thought about it, there were a bunch of wounded soldiers on his side, and there were disabled soldiers who were worried that there was no place to place, so he said happily: "Okay, there is no problem with this, but I want to ask one thing clearly, will these soldiers be returned to us in half a year?" ”
"I'll let them decide to stay!"
"Then no problem!" Jeremy thought for a moment and said, "I'll exchange sixty tons of grain and five tons of dried fish first." I don't know if you want to? ”
Angela looked at Beta with an inquiring expression.
Beta nodded at her and said, "Contract." ”
Angela sighed, she didn't understand what Beta wanted to do, but she signed a contract with Jeremy anyway.
Four hours later, Jeremy led a team of people and left with dozens of tons of grain.
Angela stood on the city wall and asked, "Why do you suddenly want their soldiers, who are not afraid of rioting when they come in?" ”
"Jeremy will definitely send the old and the sick and the sick here, and he will starve them. There was no possibility of a riot at first. Beta laughed.
Angela frowned: "You know this, but do you want to?" ”
"The old, weak, sick and disabled are not really old, weak, sick and disabled, but wounded soldiers who lack medical treatment." Beta explained, "With a good treatment, they can be good soldiers." ”
"But we'll have to let them go in half a year." Angela was a little puzzled: "Wouldn't that help them heal those soldiers?" It's a loss. ”
Beta shook her head: "What is written in the contract is to let them go, and we will not force them to stay." But whether they want to go or not is another matter. ”
Angela was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "I understand, you are so smart." You want the soldiers to feel good about our city, and they stay, right? ”
Beta nodded: "Most of those who can become soldiers are orderly and evil, and they can join us in Erbu City." As for how many people they can keep in half a year, it depends on whether we treat them well or not. ”
Angela narrowed her coquettish eyes, "I see." ”
Two days later, a demon army of 300 people was sent to Erbu City.
Sure enough, as Beta expected, they were all old, weak, sick and disabled.
But Beta smiled happily instead.
He felt a battlefield aura in these soldiers.
I actually sent veterans who had gone through the war here.
This Jeremy, the level is like that. Beta snorted disdainfully.
Actually, I don't blame Jeremy.
In the Demon Realm, food represents magic and power.
If you're hungry, you can't even use magic, let alone strength.
The city of Liberdana is short of food, and everyone is half-starved, who has the extra energy to take care of others.
If a negative energy healing spell goes down, you will be even hungrier.
Without strength, most of the time you won't survive the next battle.
But Erbu City is different, although the succubus ladies don't go to the street to squeeze juice much now, they can eat enough every day, and they can eat some dried fish and meat, and they won't be hungry at all.
Succubus, as one of the few races in the demon world that understands negative energy healing, comes in handy at this time.
These 300 wounded soldiers came to Erbu City, not only to eat well, but also to be treated by beautiful and gentle succubus ladies.
At this time, the succubus is no less than an angel in the eyes of humans in their eyes.
Then, you can get a room to live in!
This kind of treatment, compared to Liberdana, is simply the difference between heaven and earth.
At the moment, more than half of the three hundred demon soldiers in Lai Erbu City have 'surrendered' in less than ten days, and the rest have also been shaken badly.
"Why don't we just choose some of our citizens to train as soldiers?" Angela asked, "Although these three hundred wounded soldiers do look a bit like an army after they are cured, they are still more trustworthy by their own people." ”
Beta explained: "Of course you need your own soldiers. But these three hundred soldiers were used as seeds. Whether it's the succubus, or those trained soldiers, none of them have really been on the battlefield, and they are all novices. If there are veterans of the war mixed in with them, they can really go to the battlefield and stabilize their morale very well. ”
"Have you thought this far?" Angela felt a little lost, and after spending so much time with Beta, she felt more and more useless.
But then she lifted her spirits again, what does it matter if she is wasted, Li Lin is powerful.
"It's not a long way to go, it's just an experience." Beta said, "I'm not as wicked as you think, I've just experienced more than you." ”
"Nonsense, how many years have you lived, how many years have I lived?" Angela was not fooled at all for such comfort, but instead scolded back: "I have seen a lot of demons who have lived for four or five hundred years, and they must have experienced a lot of things, but I have never seen a single one like you, who is very powerful in combat and internal affairs." ”
"To be modest is to be too coquettish."
Angela snorted and flew away.
Beta shook her head and continued to deal with the law and order incident.
After a while, Penelope 'wandered' in, and she placed the map in front of Beta.
"This is about the terrain within 300 kilometers of the upper and lower reaches of the river."
Looking at the topographical map, Beta asked, "Penelope, why have you been reluctant to break the slave contract?" ”
"After the contract was terminated, where would I go to find such a good job, I could eat enough every day, and I didn't have to worry about being beaten by my master. Don't worry about being eaten as jerky by the owner. ”
"You really don't have feelings for Foshia City anymore?"
Penelope sneered, and the snaketail gently patted the floor: "The city that makes me hungry every day and makes me work hard, what is there to be nostalgic for." ”
"Are you familiar with Foshia City?"
"It's okay!"
Beta raised his head and said, "Then get ready, I'm going to go to the city of Foshia, and you will be your guide." ”
"Okay."
Beta continued: "Help me to go and talk to the Queen, lest I leave suddenly and she will be worried. ”
"Okay."
Then, not long after, Angela and Penelope came in together.
"Can you please settle down?" As soon as Angela entered, she rebuked, "The city of Foshia is now hostile to us. If it weren't for the city of Lebedana, they would definitely come to us for trouble, and we didn't have time to hide, and you actually sent it to the door yourself? ”
Beta smiled, "Now Foshia City is also much weaker, it's okay." ”
Angela asked, "Weak?" ”
