The afternoon sun shines through the stained glass on the wooden floor, like colorful flowers. The fine dust rose faintly, and from time to time there was a small chat or two downstairs, a leisurely and quiet scene.

At half past two in the afternoon, Chen Xing woke up. The quilt is soft and very comfortable. After getting up, he took a shower, changed into clean clothes, put the change in a basket, handed it to the waiter at the front desk, and went to the bar to eat.

One roasted beef rib, one vegetable salad, one fruit wine, one bowl of fried noodles. Small candles are lit on the table, and knives, forks, spoons, and chopsticks are placed in small rattan baskets.

He lowered his head and chewed slowly. A table of mercenaries next to him was talking in a low voice.

"I heard that there is another war on the Black Feather side." "Yes, I have a relative who just came over there and said that Duke Zilan and Marquis Haitang have a conflict again."

"What's going on here?" "Didn't I remember last time that the two of them got married? The fifth daughter of the Duke of Zilan married the second son of the Marquis of Begonia. "Yes, but now I heard that the second son of the Marquis of Begonia has fallen in love with a widow and is getting a divorce?"

"This is definitely going to be beaten, bullying other people's daughters, even if it is me, I have to be beaten." "That's not it, Marquis Begonia's discipline is really bad. His second son knows that it is a political marriage, and he also learns to play true love, I think it is in the water of his brain. "Maybe people like widows?" "Hahaha......"

"Hey, hey, I've heard that Earl Jinlian and Marquis of Red Arrow are about to fight." "Really?" "Both sides are aggressively courting mercenary groups." "Shall we go over and occupy a position first, Earl Jinlian is very rich." "Let's see what the head of the group means......"

Hearing their discussion, Chen Xing picked up the portable screen, connected the black watch, and checked it.

Sure enough, the recruitment information of the mercenary group occupies most of the page. Most of them were issued by the Duchy of Black Feather and the Duchy of Norton, and a small number were issued by the Duchy of the White Dragon and the Duchy of the Red Mulberry.

Maybe it's because of the problem of water and soil, it's easy to raise short-tempered people. Since ancient times, the war in the Ambergris River valley has not stopped. Either today I hit you, or tomorrow you hit me. There was a lot of disturbance, and there was an endless fight.

It is only in times of foreign war that there is a little more peace on the inside. On weekdays, the Malan royal family is like a good old man, mediating here and persuading there, non-stop all year round, so it is also known as the "peaceful royal family". And the reason why they can become the head of the countries of the Ambergris River is also because of this.

For mercenaries, the favorite is war. It's one of the easiest ways to make money. After joining the legion of a city-state or principality, find a place to squat, and whether the two sides can fight or not, the money will come in every day.

It is commonly known as "Liujin garrison" in the industry. Meaning, stationed in one place, gold flows in every day.

In the previous life, when Chen Xing was in the Lei Guangtuan, he often ran around. Find a high ground to squat and eat rice. But in case of a fight, it won't be so pleasant, and you have to rush up when it's time to rush, otherwise the overall credibility of the mercenary group will decline.

Also, these are small amounts of money, and there are no war exploits. If you want to make a lot of money and get a higher social status, you have to rely on "otherworldly crusades" and "kingdom wars". The former is through the space-time rift, entering the heterotopic plane, exploring or fighting; The latter was the war of the United Kingdom of the Ambergris River Basin against the other kingdoms of the Red Continent.

Both are very cruel, and the slightest mistake can wipe out the whole army. He was slapped to death by the Great Demon in the mission of the Otherworldly Crusade before. At that time, Tienuo, the commander of the Thunder Light Regiment, didn't know what the stimulus was, so he took the risk and took on this kind of desperate mission.

He still remembered that when the Great Demon slapped it down, the other teammates also died. If you have the opportunity in the future, you must persuade Big Brother not to make mistakes on key issues and lead everyone to the point of no return.

But then again, with his current life trajectory, he shouldn't have much to do with the Lei Guangtuan.

He thought about it carefully, according to the memory of his previous life, he met Tieno in this bar two years later and joined the Thunder Light Troupe.

The regimental leader, Tieno, is a super fierce man, nicknamed "Tiger", upright, kind, and brave, and can hardly find any shortcomings except for the occasional mistake. His talents are "Ironclad" and "Huge Body", and he rushes to the forefront in every battle. As soon as they heard a loud roar from the other party, everyone's morale came up, and they rushed forward with a roar.

He couldn't help but think that if he could take Tieno under his command, it would be amazing. Originally, he didn't dare to think about it, but even he accepted Yeyang Bailiu, so Tienuo was nothing. You must know that the status of Yeyang Bailiu is still much higher than that of Tienuo.

However, he didn't know anything about the previous history of the Thunder Light Regiment. I only know that Tienuo came out of the mountains and took a few brothers from the same village to fight the world. In the Lei Guangtuan, what impressed him the most was Huo Tsui, Xiong Ben, and Rat, all of whom were tough guys.

After browsing the information for a while, Chen Xing withdrew. He is now the captain of the third squad of the Orchid Town garrison, and as the saying goes, if he is not in his position, he will not seek his position, and the war of other countries has little to do with him.

His current task is to recruit a few more people, and then return to Orchid Town to engage in construction.

Anyway, there is no need to buy equipment this time, so there is no need to wait for the auction. As long as he recruits people, he can go. After the auction is completed, the auctioneer will transfer the proceeds of the auction directly to his account.

There are two satellite networks in this world, one is the "conventional satellite network" and the other is the "World Bank satellite network". The former is for all citizens, and the latter is for banking transactions only. The former has a higher signal strength and requires a receiving station, so the coverage area is smaller. The latter has a lower signal strength and does not need to set up a receiving station, which is directly transmitted and received by satellites, so it covers a large area.

Orchid Town, for example, does not have access to a regular satellite network, but can be traded with a black table.

The fundamental reason for this phenomenon is that the top leaders of various countries do not want to take care of law and order in the periphery at all. It is very difficult to deal with cases there, and it will consume a lot of manpower and material resources, so simply turn a blind eye and ignore it as long as it does not involve social stability.

"Toot ......"

In the middle of his thoughts, the black watch suddenly sounded. When I opened it, it was a message from Bona.

[We have gone to the grain exchange in Dragonstone and are buying grain]

Chen Xing clicked a few times on the portable screen and replied to a message.

[Come to the Catalpa bar on West 2nd Street]

It took a while for the other party to reply to the message.

[Yes]

It seems that what happened that night left a deep psychological shadow on her, and she became a little afraid of him.

I guess those two silver rings are still aching, right? Chen Xing quickly thought of it.
