Tasting Lord Lingfeng's paper recruitment order, the terrifying shadow of war once again sank into the sky above Hammondal.

Faced with the threat of war, the old and new groups of lords reflected two very different attitudes.

The new alien lords who had just settled in Hammondale and were a little at a loss in the face of an unfamiliar environment collectively caused quite a commotion in the midst of such a threat, just like Chen Jian had feared before, they were very dissatisfied with being sent to such a dangerous place, and their already resentful mentality towards the Erathia Empire became even more serious.

Thankfully, due to the composure and calmness of the old lords after learning of another enemy attack and the issuance of the recruitment order, and their unusual enthusiasm for joining the lord's army, the dissatisfaction of the new lords was somewhat contained in a state of confusion, and there was no disturbance.

The new leaders were surprised to find that at the recruiting office set up by the lord, there was a long queue to sign up for the army on the same day.

In the hearts of the old lords, the lord has long been an invincible existence, and to be able to fight under such a respected lord and follow him to defend his homeland, even if he dies in battle, is a great honor in the eyes of the old lords.

The reason for this situation is related to the series of measures that Chen Jian has implemented from the beginning.

The brainwashing ideological education work, the constant deification of one's own great image, the benevolent government implemented in Hammondal, the incomparably generous military salary, and the reasonable promotion method. and the great temptation that will go down in history, all of which made the soldiers extremely loyal to the lord.

And the generous compassion for the soldiers who died in the war made the soldiers have no worries on the battlefield.

In order to build this army into an iron army that worships himself, obeys his orders, and does not hesitate to fight the fire, it can be said that he spares no effort.

Even the robber magicians and Thor trolls, who had not long joined the net, were completely integrated into this group in a short period of time under Chen Jian's measures, and became fanatical supporters of the lord.

At this time, the Lord's Guard and the Hammondale Defense Force had already become an absolutely privatized army that only knew about Jian Chen and did not know about the empire.

The grand occasion of the old lords enthusiastically signing up to join the army not only attracted the attention of the new lords, but also attracted the attention of many foreign merchants, adventurers, and mercenaries who were stranded in Hammondale due to the sudden severance of the Bairders trade route.

The current lord also has a lot of fame among these outsiders, and under the propaganda of some people, he has personally set out to conquer Bairdes in order to open up trade routes, and the fact that he uprooted the famous dragoon bandit regiment has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and his vigorous support of commerce in the territory has deepened the good opinion of the merchants towards this lord.

All of a sudden, the recruitment scene was lively.

The leaders who had joined the militia team before were now all re-received by Jian Chen, this time the empress did not limit the number of human soldiers in his militia, and with Jian Chen's own thoughts, he let go of his hands and feet and prepared to do a big job.

Due to the re-planning of Hammondale, many of the people who were originally scattered in the suburbs of Harmondale have moved to the new town of Harmondale, and many of these people are local hunters, and many of these hunters who are good at using bows and arrows have joined the militia under the call of the lord.

With a little scraping, they will be qualified archers.

It is worth mentioning that it is said that it is to fight against the Devil Krigan who has invaded their beautiful homeland, and the enthusiasm of the halfling leaders to join the army is the highest, even the new halflings.

However, since their bodies were not suitable for fighting, and the lethality of their zipline throwing stones was really embarrassing, Jian Chen had no intention of recruiting them.

"Your Lord, take us! We won't disgrace you! We can fight too! "Seeing that the lord did not accept himself, a large group of halflings surrounded the recruitment office, and the appearance of a scoundrel who would not give up if he did not join the militia seriously affected the progress of the recruitment work.

Even the patriarch of the halflings rushed over after hearing the news, and strongly asked the lord to agree to the requests of the halflings.

"My lord, please take my people!" The halfling patriarch named Dominic, by virtue of his identity, actually ran to the lord who was sitting and supervising the work in a tent behind the recruiting office, grabbed the lord's hand sleeve tightly, and then began to cry with a handful of snot and tears, "We halflings and those Legan devils are incompatible, please hurry up and agree to my people's request!" ”

To this. The halfling patriarch who is already not young, Jian Chen is not easy to get angry, and now that the relationship between the halfling and the human leader has just improved, he can't do this: "Dominic, it's not that I don't agree to your request, but the situation of the halfling clan is really not suitable for fighting on the battlefield!" If I promise you, it will be tantamount to harming you, how can I, as your lord, do such a cruel thing? It's really hard for me like this! ”

When Dominic heard Jian Chen say this, he was a little moved: "Your lord, your kindness is really great, but we are not afraid of death!" Anyway, in this matter, please let us

Seeing that the other party was so persistent, Chen Jian had a big headache, thought for a while, and decided that it was better to appease, otherwise this recruitment work would really not be able to continue.

Rolling his eyes, Jian Chen said: "Dominic, even if your determination is so great, I can't refuse to agree to you, but there is one condition that you must promise me, otherwise for your sake, I will not agree to let you go to the battlefield under any circumstances!" ”

"Conditions? No matter what the conditions, we will agree! Hearing that things had taken a turn for the better, Dominic was overjoyed, and with tears on his old face, he was already smiling, and his head was like a chicken eating rice.

Jian Chen frowned and said, "Dominic, you have to think clearly, this condition is very harsh, if you can't achieve it, don't come to pester me again!" ”

"No, no, no! We middle-aged people are very trustworthy." Dominique let go of the little hand that grabbed Jian Chen's sleeve, patted his small chest vigorously and promised, "No matter how difficult the conditions are, we can complete them, the most intelligent race of halflings, nothing can stump us!" My lord, you can make a difference! ”

As he spoke, the halfling patriarch added, as if he had thought of something, "And I believe that with your kindness and wisdom, Lord Lord, you will definitely not put forward any conditions that we halflings will not be able to achieve at all, right?" ”

Hearing what the other party said, Jian Chen couldn't help but cry and laugh a little, he found that this Dominic was really not easy to fool, and his mind was guessed by him so quickly.

What can I do? Looking at the halfling patriarch in front of him with a look of anticipation and a slight hint of slyness. Jian Chen's brows furrowed.

After thinking about it for a while, Chen Jian suddenly thought of one, which was easy to do, and he couldn't help but be happy.

"Dominic, I've heard that you halflings have always been known for their dexterity, right? I heard from Kosai that you like to design and develop some handy tools yourself? Chen Jian began to set up half of the people.

As he expected, Dominic really fell into the trap, and the halfling patriarch raised his head and replied proudly: "That's it, we halflings are very smart!" If you have any tools that you need to improve, Lord, just leave it to us, and you will definitely be satisfied! ”

Jian Chen smiled slightly, turned around and beckoned to one of the guard soldiers, asking him to take a heavy crossbow and hand it to Dominic.

The weight of the heavy crossbow was not light, and the halfling patriarch struggled to hold this weapon that was not small for him in his arms, and stared at Jian Chen depressedly: "Lord Lord, we said that you will not deliberately embarrass me, if you want my people to use this weapon, then you will be violating!" ”

"I didn't mean to ask you to use this weapon, Dominic, you're mistaken!" Chen Jian smiled at the halfling patriarch with a sinister smile that had succeeded in his conspiracy, "I was just thinking, you halflings are so ingenious, can you help me make some improvements to this weapon?" For example, is there a way to reload faster, can you load more crossbow arrows, can you save more effort, etc., of course, if you can imitate it, it will be even better, this technical problem even the dwarven craftsman can't solve, and don't you think that if such a weapon is shrunk, it will be very suitable for you halflings to use? But it's better not to reduce the power! Can it be done? ”

A series of requests made Dominic stunned, and the half-elf Pete and the big-eared monster Orison on the side also looked at the lord with their mouths open.

If the lord's words can succeed, this kind of weapon is a little too terrifying.

"You said it yourself, the halfling clan is very smart, as long as you can successfully change this crossbow to suit your clansmen, I will no longer stop you from joining the army, what do you think? That's not a problem, is it? Jian Chen looked at the halfling patriarch with a smile, waiting for the other party's answer.

Dominic looked at the smile on Jian Chen's face, then at the heavy crossbow in his hand, and then thought about his boast just netting, and couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.

Although the other party deliberately made things difficult, he was also kind-hearted, coupled with the other party's lord status, although the halfling patriarch had the heart to regret it, it was not easy to refute the other party's face too much, and he was also boasting about it first, not to mention, he also knew very well what kind of performance his clansmen were on the battlefield.

After a long psychological struggle, he carefully examined the heavy crossbow again. Dominic gritted his teeth, finally agreed to the lord's conditions, and persuaded all the people who were making a lot of noise to leave.

"We halflings won't let you down! Your Lord, don't go back then! Before leaving, Dominic said to Jian Chen angrily.

In this regard, Chen Jian nodded again and again.

The matter of the halfling has been quelled, and the recruitment process has continued again.

"What? Don't accept women? What is the rationale for this? Are you looking down on me? Jian Chen, who had just been a little dizzy by Dominic's quarrel, had just been quiet for a long time when he found that there was a quarrel in the recruiting office again.

He looked up from the entrance of the tent and saw a young female warrior in shabby chain mail, a long sword at her waist, a beautiful face, and short red ear-length hair, staring at one of the soldiers in charge of recruitment. ,If you want to know what will happen next,Please log in to the old ,More chapters,Support the author,Support genuine reading!
