"I'm going to go back and talk to Kevin about what to do next. Don't worry, I won't take their money. However, this matter is top secret, and it must not be revealed to the outside world, otherwise it may cause big trouble. ”

Alan cautiously admonished.

"Okay! Allen, we'll gather the recruits at once, you're the regimental commander, they'll be your people in the future, you have to say a few words to them. ”

Bloom was incoherent with excitement, and he hurriedly asked his mercenaries to stop the training, and gathered everyone together to line up in the center of the field.

After the recruits were finished, Alan stood at the front of the group, cleared his throat, calmed his nerves, and then began his first lecture after becoming the head of the mercenary group:

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Alan Kanter, the leader of the Dragonbard Mercenary Regiment, and your boss. Two months ago, you were with your parents, but now you're grown up and become a mercenary..."

Allen's speech was not long, and even because of nervousness, the whole speech was not smooth and lacked incendiary, but it still ushered in the most enthusiastic applause and shouts. Before Allen's arrival, Bloom, Harwich, Shelly, and Durant had brainwashed everyone countless times, telling every recruit about the righteous deeds and feats that Allen had done, coupled with Allen's status as the chief mage, which made these recruits who were already in poor physical fitness full of expectations for their future.

Looking at the black pressed soldiers standing in front of him, Alan also felt a heavy weight on his shoulders for the first time, and now he was shouldering not only the future of Steven's few people, but the future of thousands of people. What exactly should he do next, Alan hasn't thought about it clearly, but the first thing he needs to do now is to find a way to improve and improve the physique of these recruits, otherwise they are doomed to follow their tragic fate.

So as soon as the speech was over, Alan said a few more words of encouragement to the veteran, and hurried back home.

"Go call Kevin, I have something to say. ”

When Alan arrived home, it was getting late, and he went through the gate and handed the horses to the servants, and as he dusted off his body, he told the servants to go and call Kevin.

"Lord Kanter, there are guests at home etc. ”

The butler heard Allen's voice and immediately greeted him.

"What guest?"

Alan asked, but before the butler could reply, a handsome, personable guest had already appeared, accompanied by Steven.

"Congratulations to Master Kante on his promotion to the Grand Master of the ancient city of Okusha!"

The guest spoke loudly from afar.

"Lord Reinhardt, why are you here?"

Alan recognized the other party's identity at a glance from a distance, and the face that fascinated thousands of girls made him remember it all the time.

"I heard that Your Excellency has been promoted to the chief archmage of the ancient city of Aogu, and I have been preparing to visit for a long time, but Your Excellency has been outside, so I have no chance, and today I heard that Your Excellency is back, so we rushed over immediately. ”

Reinhardt said with a smile.

"Why are you here?"

After the meeting, Alan invited Reinhardt back to the living room to sit down, and Steven instructed the servant to pour the wine again for the two of them, and Alan asked after taking a sip.

"I have come here not only for myself, but also for His Majesty Vetels' congratulations to you. ”

Reinhardt said with a smile.

"Oh?"

Hearing the name of Emperor Yus, Alan was slightly surprised, he didn't expect that his appointment as the chief archmage of the ancient city state of Okugu would attract the attention of such a big man.

"However, His Majesty also feels some regrets, because he thinks that the soil of Yus is more suitable for nourishing the growth of magicians, especially a talented person like you, who can easily wither on a barren soil. Moreover, His Majesty has been busy planning how to deal with the Holy See recently, and he also needs someone like the Archmage to solve his problems. ”

Reinhardt's remarks revealed two messages: that Juss valued magicians, and that Juss was to confront the Holy See.

"Yuss should have the most magicians on this continent, right?"

"That's what I said. We have Archmage Kers, as well as the four major magicians and a number of middle and low-level magicians, but you also know the attitude of Archmage Kers, although he doesn't like the Holy See, but he is not interested in confronting the Holy See, and even does not encourage his students to join Yuss's elite army to fight against the Holy See, so His Majesty especially hopes that there is such an ideal and capable great magician who can lead Yuss's magician team to fight against the Holy See. ”

Reinhardt's words were signaled by Dean Lead, on the one hand, he wanted to find out Allen's attitude towards the Holy See, and on the other hand, if Allen really wanted to be an enemy of the Holy See, see if he could use this method to get him to join Euss.

"Your Excellency isn't here to persuade me to join Juss again, is you?"

Reinhardt's repeated emphasis on confronting the Holy See had already made Allen suspicious, so he asked vigilantly.

"Your Excellency, Master, has been overwhelmed. Seeing Allen's expression a little unhappy, Reinhardt immediately changed his words: "Of course not. You must know that strictly speaking, the ancient city of Aogu also belongs to the territory of Yus, and the effect of joining the ancient city of Ao Gucheng is the same as joining Yous, but the communication is not so convenient. So we wondered if we could establish a line of communication with each other?"

"Isn't there a communication channel all the time?"

"Absolutely. But that one is completely different from this one, that one is false, and it has been kept by both parties in order to maintain a superficial relationship for the world to see. In front of the Ming people, I don't talk in secret, my role is mainly to ensure that Yus's business in the ancient city of Aogu can be carried out smoothly, which is no different from Gerald, the agent of the Hepburn family, of course, I also have another responsibility, responsible for monitoring the ancient city of Aogucheng. On the one hand, they must ensure that they do not evade taxes, and on the other hand, they must ensure that when Yus fights against the Holy See, the ancient city will not catch fire in the backyard, and let alone let the orcs break through the Capra Pass again and trample on the territory of humans. ”

Reinhardt's words were not only sincere, but also frank. Everyone knows that Yus's officials in the ancient city of Aogu are in charge of monitoring the Ogu family, but not many dare to say it to their faces.

"Even if that's the case, you should talk to the lord. ”

Although Alan didn't believe Reinhardt very much, he had to admit that what he said made a lot of sense, and the ancient city state of Austria did have a very important strategic position between the Holy See, Yous and the orcs. However, this was clearly beyond the scope of his power as the new Chief Archmage

"If it weren't for the fact that I had become the chief archmage, I would have been going to talk to Hollander, but now that I see you, my attention has changed. I'd like to enlist your support first, and if you can show your attitude, I'll talk to Hollander again, so that my chances of success will be greatly increased. ”
