Chapter Forty-Eight: The Glory Mercenary Regiment

When Han Ji and his party walked to Zhivading City, they began to spread his story in the villages and towns he passed by.

It is known that there was an alien nobleman who led his men to wipe out the army of snow bandits of the great swordsman Andrew, and that this knight was about to lead his men to join the kingdom of Vegia and wait for the kingdom to be recruited.

When Han Ji and his party walked outside the north gate of Zhivading City, some curious residents deliberately put down their work and came to watch Han Ji and them.

"Wow! Is this Andrei the Great Swordsman? He doesn't look so murderous either! An onlooker looked at Andrei's body and said suspiciously.

Among the rumors he had heard, Andrei was a villain with a blue face and fangs, who liked to eat human flesh the most, with arms thicker than human thighs and a waist circumference the size of two people.

"I can guarantee that if he were still alive, you would be scared to pee your pants in front of him!" A citizen retorted casually.

"One of the things Andrei has to do every day is to kill people, at least one person a day since he became famous, no exception! It is said that if he does not find an enemy to kill, then he will kill his own men. A citizen leaned over and said mysteriously.

"Wow! It turns out that Andre is so cruel! Kill even your own people! Good thing he's dead! A man looked at Andrei's body in amazement and said.

"Look! The leader of the nobleman and his banner! "A citizen suddenly remembered something.

"Hey, this banner is so familiar with the nobles, I'm sure I've seen him!" A citizen looked at Han Ji and said affirmatively.

"I remember! I met him just a few days ago! Still at this gate! At that time, he led his men to speak in a procession at the gates of the city! It turned out that he was on a crusade against Andrei! The citizen suddenly remembered that he had seen Han Ji, "I also discussed with others in the tavern which noble lord he is!" The citizen said excitedly.

"That's right, I've seen him too, he didn't have so many subordinates at that time, you see if the gorgeous armor he wears is different from other noble lords!" Another citizen came out to speak, and his focus was on Han Ji's shining bright light armor.

"Really, his armor looks so gorgeous, so special! Look at the silk cloak behind him, it must be very expensive! A citizen let out a voice of amazement, he didn't know how expensive the armor was, but he knew that he couldn't afford the silk cloak on Han Ji's back.

"Look! They're going into town, so let's keep up! When the citizens saw Han Ji's long line starting to enter the city, they immediately followed.

Han Ji walked all the way with Andre's body, and the already long line added a lot of onlookers, and it was discovered by the city guards of Zhivading City from a distance, but fortunately, Han Ji was prepared and sent Arthur to communicate with the flag.

After some negotiations, after the city guards sent people to investigate, Han Ji was allowed to enter the city, and he walked in front with a group of heroes and Andrei's corpses, with dozens of snow bandits and robber captives tied in strings in the middle, and Tulsky's original convoy and guards behind.

The long procession deliberately walked up the street, this was Han Ji's request to the city guards, he was to take Andrei's body to the city hall in front of the palace, Andrei was wanted by the Kingdom of Veguia, and his body could be exchanged for a bounty of 1,000 dinars.

Han Ji also plans to officially naturalize in the city of Zhivading and become a citizen of the Kingdom of Vegia, although he has a noble status, but he has not belonged to the Kingdom of Vigia before this, otherwise with the merit of exterminating Andre, there must be many nobles who are willing to recruit him justifiably, of course, Han Ji will not agree.

Hughes Crumpe, the mayor of the city hall of Zhivadin, and Richard Miller, the head of the sheriff's office, who had already been informed, stood at the door of the municipal building to greet Han Ji's arrival.

There are five courtyards and four halls in the city of Zhivadin, and a total of ten administrative departments. One of the houses is the House of Nobles, and the five ministries are the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Government, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Ministry of Justice, which are the highest administrative departments of the Kingdom of Vegia, and together with the king, they govern the military, political and diplomatic affairs of the whole country.

The four halls are the actual management departments of Zhivading City and its surrounding affiliated villages and towns, the tax department is responsible for the town taxation, the public security department is responsible for public security and arresting thieves, the trial hall is responsible for adjudicating disputes and crimes, and the city hall is responsible for managing all aspects of the affairs of the entire Zhivading City, so the status of the city hall is above the other three departments, and the mayor of the city hall is referred to as the mayor.

The reason why Hughes Crump would appear at the door to greet Han Ji was because he had received an order from His Majesty the King to give Han Ji, who was about to join the Kingdom of Vegia, a statement to tell him that the Kingdom of Virgia welcomed foreign nobles, and also let Han Ji know that His Majesty had noticed his existence and would not be buried as long as he made merits.

When Han Ji led the team to the fountain square in front of the municipal building, he saw the group of people waiting at the door from a distance, he was shocked and quickly reacted, and took Arthur forward, and when he arrived at the door, Han Ji turned over and dismounted and walked towards the crowd.

"Sir, I am Viscount Hughes Crump, the Governor of Zhivading City, and welcome you." When Han Ji was about to walk to the front of the crowd, Hughes Crump stretched out his right hand to welcome Han Ji.

Han Ji also stretched out his right hand to shake Crump's hand, "Viscount Crump, thank you very much for your welcome, I'm Skuses Gruenward Han, Marquis of Dingyuan from the Eastern Tang Empire. ”

After Han Ji greeted Viscount Crump, the other city officials began to come up to salute one by one, Han Ji only paid more attention to Richard Miller, the director of the Sheriff's Department, because he also needed the sheriff to confirm Andre's identity for him, so that his merits would be officially determined, and he would receive a generous bounty, and his name would be officially notified to the territory of Vigia.

"Sir Han, let's go inside!" Crump invited Han Ji to speak inside the city hall.

"Yes, Viscount Crump." Han Ji nodded and replied.

Han Ji led Arthur to sit across from the city officials, and after both sides were officially seated, Richard Miller of the Sheriff's Office spoke first.

"Sir Han, I heard that you led your subordinates to kill the Great Swordsman Andre not far from Viscount Winterson's territory, is this true?" Richard Miller was the first to express his doubts.

"Your Excellency Miller, Andre's body is right outside the door, you can send someone to check it out." Han Ji replied softly to Miller's faint question.

"Sir Han, I don't suspect that you are lying, it's just that Andrew never appeared on the west side of Omurshire, so I keep my doubts about it." Richard Miller voiced his own concerns.

"In that case, Lord Miller, you better send someone to investigate first! It doesn't take much time, does it? Han Ji motioned for Miller to send someone to check.

"Thank you for your understanding, I'll have someone check it out." Miller motioned for one of his men to go out and check it out.

Viscount Crump, who was watching from the sidelines, took the opportunity to speak to Han Ji, "Sir Han, I heard that you have the intention of joining the Kingdom of Vegia, is this true?" ”

"Yes, Sir Crump, I'm sure I'm joining the Kingdom of Vegia, so why don't you have someone handle the formalities for me and my men!" Han Ji nodded in the affirmative and replied.

"Sir Han, the Kingdom of Virgia welcomes you to join us, and His Majesty Yarogerk is also looking forward to it!" Hughes Crump gently dispelled Han Ji's doubts.

"Thank you Your Majesty Yarogerk for your attention, I am honored for it, and I thank you Sir for your enthusiasm, I will trouble you about my naturalization!" Han Ji said sincerely to Crumpu.

"Haha! Sir Han, this is just a small matter, I'll let someone handle it for you later. Crump turned to the other officials and said, "Aren't we here to welcome Sir Han to join!" ”

"Sir Han, welcome to the Kingdom of Vegia! It won't be long before you become one of us! As Crump's words ended, the officials around him stood up to congratulate him.

"Sir Han, you are welcome to join us!" Richard Miller, who had a cold face, also squeezed out a little smile and said to Han Ji.

"Thank you, Lord Miller." Han Ji knew that this person's personality was probably like this, and he didn't care about it.

"Sir, it has been determined that it is indeed Andrei's body." The sheriff who had just gone out to check on had told Richard Miller the results of the investigation.

After listening to the report of his subordinates, Richard Miller's face finally showed obvious kindness, "Sir Han, congratulations, you have done a great thing!" Your name will spread throughout the kingdom! Miller said to Han Ji with a smile.

"Thank you for your compliment, Lord Miller, I still need your permission." Han Ji looked at Miller's smile and knew that he had initially recognized himself, so he took the opportunity to make a request for it.

"Oh, I wonder if there's anything you need my help with, Sir? Is it about bounties? Don't worry, I'll have the bounty handed over to you later. Miller thought that Han Ji was worried about the bounty, and said with a displeased face.

"No, Lord Miller, I want to set up a mercenary group in the city, form my own troops, and wait for the kingdom's call-up, I think this requires your permission." Han Ji said to Miller in a sincere tone.

"Mercenary regiments?" Miller pondered for a while, "Sir Han, how many mercenary groups do you plan to build?" Miller asked.

"About two hundred people." Han Ji thought for a moment and said a number.

"Sir, I can agree with you to set up a mercenary group, but I don't want any illegal weapons, such as dangerous items like heavy horses, siege birds, and Rhodok fires." Miller said with a serious face.

On the mainland, heavy horses are prohibited weapons, except for the army, civilian mercenaries are not allowed to use them, and as for the Rhodok fire, that thing is more dangerous, similar to gasoline, and the water can't be extinguished when it burns.

"I'll take your admonition to heart!" Han Ji nodded in understanding.

After some negotiations, Han Ji got the result he wanted, and left the municipal building with Cronton's farewell.

"Everyone! I have something to announce" Han Ji walked to the front of his team and greeted everyone loudly, and some onlookers stood on both sides of the street watching Han Ji's figure.

"Just now, I officially joined the Kingdom of Vegia, and from now on, I will fight for the interests of the Kingdom of Vegia!" Han Ji's loud and powerful voice spread far away, "I will set up a mercenary group, form my troops, and wait for the kingdom's conscription!" ”

"From now on, the Glory Mercenary Group is officially established!" Han Ji looked at the excited eyes of his subordinates and said little by little!
