Chapter 44: Buying people's hearts
"If you don't go to the mercenary hall, can you find NPCs somewhere else to help?" Heartless Valley frowned and said.
In the Ares mercenary group, the Valley of Despair is undoubtedly the one who can grasp the overall situation, and is well-informed and quick to think a lot. It's just that because of the surname, I don't talk much at ordinary times.
Marcelo smiled mysteriously: "Of course there are people, like the town because there has been no war for many years, the soldiers are idle and useless. You must know that most of these are brave and good warriors, much more powerful than those mercenaries, as long as the price is reasonable, they can definitely be hired. ”
Wang Meng thought for a while: "Yes, what you said is good, you can try." After all, the mercenaries in the mercenary hall have limited strength, and I've seen it too. ”
Seeing that Wang Meng agreed to his suggestion, Marcelo smiled: "Okay, I'll take you over now." ”
Wang Meng nodded, leaving Desperate Valley and the others to prepare medicines and arrows, while he followed Marcelo.
Lin Er's ships to go to sea this time are two fishtail boats, the fishtail boats have a large cargo space in small boats, are strong, and can withstand the wind and waves at sea, but the speed is relatively slow, and the merchants in Tadar Town generally use this kind of boat to transport goods from the sea.
After being fully loaded, the authorized capacity of such a ship is 40 people, which means that two ships can carry 80 people, and if the personnel are full, it is also a large force, even if it encounters pirates, it can also fight.
Marcelo took Wang Meng directly to the army garrison outside the town, Marcelo had been a soldier before, and he still knew these things very well. The two walked straight to the Legion Commander's tent.
On the way, Marcelo introduced the army to Wang Meng: "In the town of Tadar, there are two legions, the first and the second. The soldiers of the First Legion were mainly warriors, and they exercised their ability to siege and plunder cities. And the second legion, which is the archers and mages you want, has about 20,000 people. Of course, there are some other branches of the Second Legion. ”
Wang Meng nodded, knowing a little about the army in Tadar Town. "By the way, it's actually a soldier in the town, can you be hired by us, this is very important?"
Marcelo shrugged the broken bow behind his back: "Don't worry, I'll inquire about everything." The commander of the Second Legion is Grandet, and he is a money-grubber, as long as we spend a little money......" Marcelo rubbed his index fingers and thumb with a smug expression.
"yes, quack, that's going to be easy!" Wang Meng rubbed his hands excitedly, and Maris tomahawk hung on his waist and slapped Wang Meng's ass.
But at this moment, two soldiers jumped out and blocked their way.
"Who are you two? Why trespass on my Second Legion's garrison? ”
Wang Meng glanced at it, soldiers finally appeared, if the two of them broke into the commander's tent directly, then Wang Meng would have to consider the strength of the second legion.
Marcelo spoke first: "Two brothers, we want to ask to see your legion commander, please take us over!" ”
The soldier glanced at Marcelo mockingly, and when he saw that Marcelo was dressed ordinary, he couldn't help but make a big fuss: "Hey, do you think our regiment commander is something that can be seen?" ”
Marcelo was speechless, choked by the soldiers, not knowing how to speak. Wang Meng frowned, he didn't expect that there would be such a guy in the game.
To deal with this kind of person, Wang Meng didn't want to waste his efforts, so he took off the Maris tomahawk like lightning, put it on the neck of the nearest soldier before the two soldiers could react, and said in a cold voice: "Take me to your regiment commander." ”
"A good man, a good man spares his life!" The soldier was so frightened that tears came out of his eyes when Wang Meng held his neck, and he hurriedly said, "I'll take the hero over." ”
As for the other soldier, he was already frightened and did not know where to go.
Wang Meng frowned, he didn't know if the intention of this time was right or wrong, how did he feel that these soldiers seemed to be very wasteful, and even his own little level 14 NPC was afraid.
Led by the soldiers, the two quickly arrived outside the commander's tent, let go of the soldiers, and Wang Meng went directly into with Marcelo.
At this time, the regiment commander Grande hugged his left and right, and was putting his hands up and down, and the clothes of the three of them were very thin.
Wang Meng couldn't imagine that the life of this army commander Grande would be so rotten: "If this really fights with the dark forces, hehe, these soldiers raised in Tadar Town don't know how long they can last." ”
Marcelo was a soldier, and seeing that Grandet turned out to be such a person, without saying a word, he grabbed Grandet's chest with his fist, and was about to be beaten.
The body like a fat pig of Grande was easily lifted up by Marcelo, and only then did he find Wang Meng and the others, and his face changed with fright: "You, who are you?" How did you break in? ”
Marcelo sneered: "Do you think your soldiers can stop us?" With that, he threw a punch down.
"Let go, Marcelo!" Wang Meng's voice sounded at the right time, and now in Grande, it sounds like a life-saving charm, and he has an infinite affection for Wang Meng in his heart.
"Ding, congratulations, +10 friendship between you and Grande." Wang Meng was speechless, this can also increase favorability, it seems that Grande has a tendency to be abused......
"Bang!" Marcelo's fist slammed into the table, turned around, Marcelo glared at Grandet and went out.
Grandai wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile at Wang Meng: "Young man, you are very good, you saved me once." Say, what do you need me to help you with? ”
Wang Meng smiled, he couldn't imagine that saving Grande would have such benefits. "That's right, I'm going to go to sea, but you know it's not calm right now. So I'm going to borrow some soldiers from you to protect my things. ”
"Borrowed soldiers? No way! Grande categorically rejected Wang Meng's statement, waved his hands continuously, sat back on the chair, and continued to hug the beauty in his arms: "Most of my soldiers are from our country, and their role is to defend Tadar Town, how can I transfer them without authorization?" ”
As he spoke, Grandet made a gesture to collect the money.
"Damn, it's another trick!" Wang Meng was helpless, took out 10 gold coins from his arms and handed them to the table in front of Grande, which was already all Wang Meng's belongings.
Grandet's hand kept moving, and this hand made a 2 movement.
"Damn, I still need 20 gold coins, Uncle endure it!" Wang Meng gritted his teeth and took out another 20 gold coins, most of which were left by the previous Desperate Valley.
Snatching the 30 gold coins on the table into his arms, the speed was not like a fat man at all. Grande squinted his eyes and swept Wang Meng: "You kid is willing to spend money, don't worry, I won't treat you badly." I don't have many people here, and there are only 50 people I can give you, so let's say, when are you leaving? ”
Wang Meng was simply impressed by the shamelessness of this Grande, there was no way, he had already done a good job in driving Marcelo away, so he couldn't pull him over and beat him. However, it costs 30 gold coins for 50 people, which is still cheaper than the mercenary hall. The Mercenary Hall has to hire so many mercenaries, and it is estimated that it will cost around 40 gold.
"You tell them to go to the docks now!"
After speaking, Wang Meng waved his hand and said goodbye to Grande.
Wang Meng and Marcelo walked back after hiring 50 soldiers, and when they passed by a leveling point, Wang Meng made a move and made the task of going to sea a task, and sent it to 25 players, so that, plus Wang Meng and others, just enough 80 people.
arranged for Marcelo and the others to go to the dock to wait, and Wang Meng went to the grocery store alone to find Lin Er. For this task, Wang Meng's initial investment plus potions or something reached 50 gold coins, and once something went wrong, the consequences were unimaginable, so for the task, Wang Meng must check everything and complete the task.
Lin Er was waiting at the door of the grocery store early in the morning, he had already transported the goods onto the ship, just waiting for Wang Meng to come and start moving. But after waiting for a while, Wang Meng didn't arrive, so he couldn't help but worry. The ship had to leave on time before 8 a.m. so that it could try to get the cargo by noon and return in the evening.
Only one day's time is wasted back and forth, so that it is possible to avoid pirates.
In a hurry, finally, Wang Meng's figure appeared in front of him, Lin Er laughed, the previous guess was suddenly wiped out, and after some discussion, they went to the dock together.
Tadar Marina, east of Tadar town. One of the main reasons why Tadar is a small town but can occupy a significant position in the surrounding area is that Tadar town has a small marina.
Those who get transportation get economy, and when they get to the Hunting Continent, it is also applicable.
Arriving at the merchant ship, Lin Er pointed to the two big ships like fish tails in front of him and said, "This is our big ship for transporting goods this time, two ships, which can carry 80 people." I'm going to stay and take care of the grocery business, so I can't go with you. You remember, as long as you get to the other side, Esglio will arrange for someone to wait there, and you just hand over the goods to them. ”
Wang Meng smiled and nodded: "Well, okay, don't worry, I promise to complete the task." ”
Lin Er smiled, handed over the control of the two ships to Wang Meng and Ruthless Valley, and smiled: "It's not too early, you guys should go." ”
Wang Meng nodded and boarded the boat with Marcelo and Yuanyuan, while Desperate Gu and Shi Lei immediately took the other fishtail boat with the divided people. The crisp bell of the town had just struck nine times, and on the nearby beach, three or two crabs were dancing their teeth and claws.
A sea breeze blows, and you can even smell the fishy smell of the sea.
On Wang Meng's character interface, there is an additional interface for a sea ship at this time. This interface is a bit like a game I played as a child, with arrows indicating front, back, left, right, and three buttons next to the arrows, which are traveling, stopping, and reversing. It's simple and easy to understand.
Wang Meng gave an order, and the fishtail boat slowly started.
Sweeping his eyes, Yuan Yuan happened to be beside him, Wang Meng smiled, and pulled Yuanyuan: "Yuan, I have a good thing here, do you want it!" ”
Y's smile, how do you look at it and make people have an illusion, is this the uncle who often tricks his little sister to watch goldfish?
