"How can this be?" Alan was very surprised when he heard this, and he immediately realized that something was wrong: "No, the lord promised me that the Dragon Yin Mercenary Group would give priority to the selection of recruits, you should also know, is it possible that the candidate recruits in the entire ancient city state of Aogu are at this level?"

"We didn't believe it at the time, but after some investigation, we learned that before we arrived, the three mercenary groups of Wolf Warrior, Flying Eagle and Spirit Snake had already greeted the officials of the local security department and the mercenary union in advance, and all the soldiers with good conditions were given priority to them. ”

Havic on the side explained that in fact, his so-called investigation was completely told to him by Higgs, the leader of the Braveheart Mercenary Regiment, otherwise they would have been kept in the dark.

"In this way, except for the Tiger Mercenary Group, the other mercenary groups are deliberately against me. ”

Alan couldn't help but smile bitterly, this chief archmage is really not easy to be. It seems that his teasing of Burns that day did not have a deterrent effect, and the bosses of these mercenary groups are still trying to squeeze themselves out, and the Sheriff's Department has played a role in fueling the trouble, which is also due to the fact that he offended Sheriff Quentin for Kevin's troubles with the Sheriff's Department.

"They are so bold that they dare to openly disobey Holancest's orders, aren't they afraid that Hollander will punish them severely in a fit of anger?"

When Elvis heard this, he said indignantly.

"It's not that simple. All of their operations were carried out in secret, and they passed through the Department of Public Security, and we have no evidence of their deliberate violation of orders. Besides, it was the norm for mercenary groups to fight openly and secretly with each other, and it was also what the lord was willing to see, and it was impossible for the lord to punish them through this. ”

Captain Hackitch shook his head and said, he has been a mercenary for so many years, and he is very clear about these things between mercenary groups that dismantle each other, not to mention that this time it is the three mercenary groups that have joined forces.

"The current situation is not that we choose recruits, it is recruits who choose us, mercenaries have the right to choose mercenary groups freely, unless the mercenary group they choose does not accept, the mercenary union will appoint, in this matter, we have no way to solve it, after all, not all recruits are given to us, unless we can make them change their minds one by one. ”

Bloom is a little helpless in the face of this situation, and it is normal for a new mercenary group to be unpopular with mercenaries, after all, the new mercenary group is weaker in combat and has a high risk of dying after joining.

"Allen, it's best for you to go to Horanster and ask him to give an order to the mercenary union, at present, all these recruits have returned, and all the sources of soldiers are up to us to choose again, and the recruits can't refuse, see what else they can do." ”

Elvis suggested.

"Many of these recruits are congenitally poor in physical fitness, either they don't have the potential to cultivate Dou Qi, or they are too weak, if it weren't for the expansion of the army this year, these people would have no chance to become mercenaries at all, and they would be sent directly to work in the mines. We don't want them, and they will probably be rejected by other mercenary groups for various reasons, and eventually they will be sent to work in the mines, where not only is the risk extremely high, but the pay is very poor, and the treatment is not as good as that of mercenaries. ”

Apparently he didn't want to just drive the kids home, Harditch explained.

"You should understand what is the purpose of Alan's return this time? Our future opponent is the Holy See, and these children may face the elite of the Templar Order led by Gutesian in the future, not to mention the great strength of these thousands of people gathered together, a cavalry battalion of the Templar Order can kill them to the ground. Rather than that, I'd rather let them go to the mines to work as coolies, and there is always a chance of survival. ”

Elvis shook his head, he had commanded his servants against the Bols bandits, and he knew the difference between elite and rabble, and knew that these soldiers went to war to add a head to the opponent's military merit book.

"Alas!"

Havic understood that what Elvis said made sense, so he could only sigh helplessly and stop arguing.

"Allen, do you think this is good, we will first train them physically, and after three months, we will assess them according to the training results, and if their physical fitness is still very poor, we will not tolerate it, let them go to the mine. ”

Bloom made a compromise suggestion, and this was also a normal process for mercenary screening, and many recruits who joined the mercenary group failed the test and were sent to the mines for absenteeism for various reasons.

Although Elvis is not a member of the mercenary group, his words are very influential to Allen, so Bloom can only retreat, hoping to give these children some more chances, and he is now training them hard, hoping to keep as many people as possible.

"Alan, give them another chance. ”

Shelly also said on the side that his son Feiqi belonged to the kind of child who was born with a weak body, and he had nothing to do in swordsmanship, which gave him a lot of headaches.

All eyes are on Allen, waiting for him to make a final decision, and his words will also determine the fate of these teenagers.

"No, no. ”

After listening to the conversation between Elvis and several old mercenaries, Alan fell into deep thought, and after a while he waved his hand, and then continued:

"I think we should choose these children with poor conditions, other mercenary groups don't want them, we want them. Otherwise, even if they can join other mercenary groups, they will become cannon fodder because of the conditions. Why not let them come to us, or at least they will be willing to work for us. ”

After some thought, Alan finally made up his mind.

"Allen, you can think about it clearly, training and fighting is not child's play, and you can't be emotional. ”

Seeing that Allen's attitude was biased towards a few mercenaries, Elvis had to speak again to remind him.

"El, I understand your worries, physical conditions are innately determined, but it is not impossible to change, I think we can change their physique. ”

"Change your physical condition?"

This time it wasn't just El who was surprised, but several people such as Bloom and Hackitch were also stunned, they didn't expect Allen to have such a bold idea.

"Have you forgotten? I still have an apothecary. ”

"Isn't that a potion for the production of wounds?"

Bloom didn't know much about the potion factory, but he had used the healing potions produced there, and the effect was very miraculous and memorable.

"Healing is our main product, but not only that, but we can also produce some drugs that improve the human body. ”

On the last few pages of the pamphlet that the old man Hepburn left to Allen, it was indeed recorded that there was a drug to improve the human body, and at the New Year's reception, I heard that Mrs. Ogu had some congenital diseases, and Steven also specially asked people to send a few pills to Mrs. Ogu, and it was said that the effect after using it was very good, and Mrs. Ogu's body was much healthier than before. So Allen is confident that this medicine will have the same effect on improving the weak constitution of recruits.

"That's great, Alan. We'd better buy a batch of these drugs for use immediately, but we just hope that the price of these drugs is not too expensive, and the families of these children are very unusual, and I am afraid that they will not be able to come up with a lot of money. ”

Hearing that Alan was not only not prepared to drive away these recruits, but even to help them improve their physique, Bloom and Havic and the others were so happy that they barely jumped.
