Chapter 274: Forming a Militia Regiment
Looking at the figure of the Pegasus Knight disappearing into the distant sky, the guests reacted from a bit of a trance, but the shock in their hearts still could not be calmed down for a long time, who would have thought that they would see the mysterious elves at the engagement ceremony of the Ogu family, and these Pegasus knights came thousands of miles to congratulate this family business, and what surprised them even more was that Allen, who was the archmage of the ancient city of Oku, actually had a deep relationship with the elves, and in order to express their gratitude and respect, the elves even sent out the fountain of life that they regarded as lifeγ
So when the elves left, the guests had already surrounded Hollanster and Allen.
"My lord, how did you and the elves meet?"
"The Mercenary Guild has taken over the elves' mission, and you know that everyone else is our customer except for the orcs, haha!"
"My lord, when did you and the elves meet?"
"Well, I think about it, they came to me five years ago. β
"Lord Lord, the elves said that the mercenary union has helped them a lot, what is it, can you explain?"
"This is a confidential matter for the client, and I cannot disclose it. β
"Your Excellency Archmage, that elven general seems to have extra respect for you, may I ask why?"
"Nothing at all, you're mistaken. β
"The elves are willing to give a gift of holy water that is more precious than life, can your Excellency the mage explain why?"
"Damn! I want to know why. β
"My lord, can you sell me some of the silk woven from colorful silk?"
"This is the little girl's dowry, and it can't be sold. β
"My lord, it's okay to have a few dragon clam pearls, right?"
"Not for sale!"
"Archmage..."
"Not for sale!"
The guests gathered around Hollanster and Allen to ask questions, so that the two of them were overwhelmed for a while, and if it wasn't for the engagement ceremony of their loved ones today, the two of them would probably run away. After some cross-examination, the guests knew that it was impossible to gain more today, so they did not stay in the Ogu Mountain Villa, especially those who represented the major forces on the continent almost immediately took their leave, and they wanted to pass the news of the elves back as soon as possible.
That night, while the guests of the ceremony were gushing about their sights of seeing the Pegasus Knights and the elves giving gifts, the city's citizens enjoyed the largest magical fireworks display ever. Looking at the colorful fireworks decorating the top of Mount Ogu, Kevin Borg felt a burst of distress, he knew that in order to prepare these magic fireworks, it was not enough for Alan to take in it for nearly a month, and even let Elvis, Miranda, Feige and other magicians participate together, according to his not very accurate statistics, just in this more than an hour, the consumption of magic fireworks has been tens of thousands of gold coins. However, while he was distressed, he also understood Allen's approach very well, after all, Steven's happiness was the first in Allen's heart, and that was something that could not be measured by any amount of money. However, this engagement ceremony is not without harvest from an economic point of view, at least if the bottle of life spring water given by the elf is diluted, I don't know how much medicine worth thousands of gold can be made.
Two days after the marriage ceremony, all the forces on the mainland were still discussing what happened at the ceremony, the aristocratic women were still salivating over the silk woven from colorful silk, and the citizens of Aogucheng were still reminiscing about the grandeur of the magic fireworks, but there was one person who did not have any joy or even restlessness, and this person was Aple, the mayor of Tiesong Town.
Aple also came to attend the marriage ceremony, but it was not his only purpose. So he was not in a hurry to leave after the ceremony, but immediately anxious to ask to see Hollander, for he had been in a big trouble lately.
As for the cause of his great trouble, it can be traced back to the New Year's meeting on the expansion of the army, when Hollanster made a special appointment with him and asked him to organize the refugees gathered around the town of Iron Pine to form a new army. Of course, Holance's arrangement was also improvised, and it had something to do with Allen.
After the expansion meeting, Allen suggested to Hollanster to join forces with Yuss, although Holranster did not accept it, but Allen's words caused him to think deeply. At least one thing Alan is right, once Yuss suffers a heavy defeat in the confrontation with the Holy See, and he stabs himself in the back, then Yuss will almost certainly adopt the strategy of letting the orcs enter the customs and causing trouble to the south. Although it is a shameful act to let the orcs go south, it is a strong straw for Yus, who destroyed the country and exterminated the race, and history is written by the victors, although the behavior of the Gosa King three hundred years ago is shameful, but if the Orcs are not defeated in the end, and the Gosa King does not give up resistance stupidly, maybe the Gosa people will not be completely erased in the history books.
However, if it is really as Allen suggested, the army of the ancient city of O's city will take over the defense of Capra Pass, it will contain too many troops and energy of the ancient city state of O's, so after careful consideration, Horenc came up with a solution, that is, to organize the young people of the nomadic refugees living in the ancient city of O's ancient city and build an army, if there is really a situation where Yus abandons Capra Pass, it will be taken by this army, anyway, their homeland is outside the pass, if they want to return to their homeland, it is also their obligation to defeat the invading orc army, and many of their fathers have given their lives on this road, they should obviously carry the banner of their fathers and continue to walk, and if there is no crisis in the defense of Capra Pass, this army can also become a backup for him to fight the world. In short, this group of refugees is not in vain.
However, since the source of this army is not affiliated with the ancient city of Oku, they are not a mercenary group, and it is not suitable for the mercenary union to come forward to form it. In order not to cause concern on the part of Yus, it could not even exist in the form of a regular legion, but only in the form of a militia group, and the militia is generally formed by the local administration itself, so Hollanster chose Aple, who was not born in the army, hoping to form this regiment in the name of the militia to be responsible for the security of the refugee gathering area near Tiesong Town, and in fact, this militia will be an important shield, and if necessary, it will be a victim who may be abandoned at any time.
Hearing that Holland had asked him to form an army, Aple was simply ecstatic, this was undoubtedly the lord's highest trust in him, and if he had an army in his hands, his status in the city-state would also skyrocket, so he happily returned to the town of Iron Pine and began to prepare for conscription according to Holland's instructions. But he imagined things too simply, thinking that as long as he raised his arms and shouted: resist the orcs and recapture the grassland, he would respond like a cloud, but the actual situation was that when the rather instigatory conscription notice was posted for half a month, except for some homeless people who had nothing to do and couldn't even eat, almost no decent nomads came to apply.
