"Only the weak will cry out for justice, and do not expect and pray for the mercy of the enemy, where the blade is justice and the spear is justice!"

- Leo Chang

"The greatest advantage of feudal dictatorship is that the decrees of the sovereign can always be implemented to the maximum extent, without having to spend precious time arguing about right and wrong......" Leo closed the diary in his hand, rubbed his eyes that were a little sour because of the light, and raised his head, "Dear old Garin, if I remember correctly, today should be the first day we start recruiting soldiers, right?" ”

"Yes, sir. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" The butler took the black tea at the right temperature from the hand of the servant next to him and handed it to Leo, "Finn and the other two adults have already arrived at the scene, do you need to go and see for yourself, my lord?" ”

Taking a sip of black tea, Leo stood up, took the cloak from the butler's hand, and walked out, "Of course I want to go, I can't wait to see the soldiers who belong to me in the future." ”

At the same time, on the training grounds of Stormwind City, after several days of preparation and brewing, the news of the benevolent lord's recruitment of soldiers spread throughout all the nearby villages, and even the barony and several other noble domains, some peasants came with the intention of trying their luck, after all, Leo gave a super high salary of one gold coin a month.

The team of hundreds of people seemed to be somewhat orderly under the maintenance of several teams of punishment knights on the left and right, but in the makeshift recruitment room in the distance, Finn and Keith were arguing fiercely about something, and Anthony looked at the two with a funny expression.

"I said no! , Case, no is no way, strong physique and tough nerves are the most basic requirements of a soldier, I can't allow soldiers who can't meet my requirements to enter the ranks of adults! Finn said with rare excitement.

"Damn it, Finn, I understand, I understand what you said, but you can't demand this from the standards of our Knights, from these civilians who have just put down their hoes, scissors, and woks, oh my! I can't imagine that if all of them were according to your so-called standards, I don't think the adult army would ever exceed 10 people in the future. Keith, who was also excited, blushed and retorted.

Well, the first scene that Leo saw when he just walked in was this, Anthony next to him shrugged his shoulders and said, "You saw my lord, the two of them have been arguing like this for half a whole morning, and now none of us have recruited any of them." ”

"Good day, sir!"

"Good day, sir!"

At the same time, the two men who saw Leo come in also stopped arguing, but they both looked at him, waiting for the final decision of the lord.

Leo looked at the two of them with some amusement, Keith didn't say anything, I really didn't expect that Finn, who was usually indifferent, would also be so excited, since he had learned the reason for the dispute between the two from the conversation, Leo thought about it slightly, and then said, "Compromise, my dear commanders, it is absolutely impossible according to the standard of punishment knights"

After signaling the proud Keith with his eyes to shut up, Leo continued, "However, due to the shortcomings of the territory and population, we will not recruit too many soldiers for the first time, and the quality of the soldiers is also very important, so let's recruit according to the standard that is slightly higher than or equal to the elite soldiers of this era, and the number is temporarily set at 150 people, 100 sword and shield, and 50 crossbowmen." ”

Leo said the idea that he had already prepared, according to this amount, the blacksmiths and crossbow workshops of Stormwind City were barely able to arm the soldiers in about three months, which was just enough time for the recruits to receive a certain amount of training, as for why he chose the sword shield and crossbowmen, Leo had a little selfishness, since he was a child, Leo was crazy obsessed with the champion swordsman in the Hero Invincible, not to mention, the sword and shield soldiers equipped with one-handed swords and shields were enough to deal with most situations in this era.

As for the choice of crossbowmen, it was even simpler, Leo did not have enough good craftsmen to make bows and arrows with cumbersome craftsmanship, and he did not have the time to spend training archers that were difficult to shape, so simple and reliable crossbowmen became the best choice.

"As you wish, sir." Seeing that Leo had made a decision, Finn and Keith stopped arguing, and together with Anthony, the three of them accompanied Leo out of the recruitment venue, of course, with these professionals present, Leo's only role as a spectator was probably to make the applicants feel excited and approachable.

"Phew!" Spit out a mouthful of green spit, Itsev stretched out his hand to cover the blinding sunlight outside the forest, brushed aside the last bush and walked out, and Rhodes, who was also dressed in animal skin and withered grass behind him, appeared after him, and Rhodes, who was chewing something in his mouth, reached out and handed it to Itsev, "Oh, I have a few bugs left here, do you want to have some more?" ”

Glancing at the frozen mollusks in Rod's hand in disgust, Itsev couldn't help but retched a few more times, "God, get those damn bugs away, I don't want to see them again in my life." ”

"Okay." Rod shrugged his shoulders indifferently, carefully put the worm in his hand into his backpack, and after trying to swallow what he was in his mouth, he also spit out a mouthful of green worm blood, and then asked, "Now that we are out of the forest, where are we going next?" Don't tell me the target is the next forest, I don't care, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand the smell of these cute little things anymore. ”

Reaching for Rod's collar, Itsev growled, "Damn, don't mention that thing in front of me, or I'll shove your head in your ass!" "Well, Izev and Rod, who escaped from the dukedom, have finally reached the vicinity of Stormwind.

The road of escape made the two suffer, and the beginning was fine, with the weapons in their hands and the experience of the Itsev hunters, the two of them could still get some game, but with the loss of the last crossbow arrow, the two could only rely on the occasional small trap to try their luck, so hungry and full, the two of them crossed several forests before finally seeing the dawn, the last part of the journey, if it were not for the experience of Rhodes as a farmer, digging some hibernating insects from the bark and roots of the tree to satisfy hunger, The two could barely hold on.

Looking at Stormwind City towering on the horizon not far away, not only Itsev was excited, but even Rhodes' eyes were red, and the two of them who had survived the catastrophe couldn't help but cry with joy, and with excitement, the two supported each other, and quickly rushed towards the direction of Stormwind City......

"I think I can eat a whole cow now, Rhodes"

"Actually, I think you have a deep misunderstanding about bugs, do you really not come again?"

"Bastard, if you dare to mention this again, I'll let you sleep on the streets, don't forget the gold coins on me."

“…… Itsev, what a bastard you .........! ”
