Physique-improving agents worked, and the effect was very good, especially for children who were born with a weak body. In winter, the effect of training began to improve significantly, and the ability to fight alone began to appear, and the training of the entire mercenary group was already quite imposing. Before the New Year, on a whim, Hollanster called the officials of the Mercenary Guild to conduct a review of the training results of the Dragonbard Mercenary Regiment.

After the review, Hollanster was very satisfied, and praised Allen's work, after going to Longshen Mountain and wasting two months of time and retreating for alchemy to earn 100,000 gold coins, Allen was able to manage the mercenary group well, which shows that he really didn't see the wrong person at the beginning, and talents can shine wherever they go.

When the news spread, the heads of several major mercenary groups who participated in the recruitment of Allen were inexplicably surprised.

Can a bunch of waste be trained to become elite soldiers?

They really couldn't believe it, but even if Hollanster exaggerated it, the officials of the mercenary union who went with them would not be blind, and they also thought that although the dragon bard mercenary group had been established for a relatively short time, it had initially gained a certain combat effectiveness, and could even start accepting tasks. As a result, several major mercenary groups sent their subordinates to the station of the Longyin mercenary group to inquire about the news, but they found nothing for a week. What puzzled them was that both the recruits who participated in the training and their families admitted that their bodies had indeed undergone wonderful changes in the past six months, but they couldn't say why there was such a change, because they had no difference from other mercenary groups except for their strict training and better food. The leaders of the mercenary group, who had found nothing, could only suppress their doubts and put down the matter, but what they didn't know was that after the turmoil of wood procurement, Alan was very careful when using this batch of potions, and even the parties who took the medicine were completely kept in the dark.

How to administer potions to the mercenaries and be able to do it without knowing it, Alan and the others also thought about it for a while, and finally came up with a good solution, and handed it over to Havic to be responsible for implementation.

According to the plan, Havic immediately took over the mercenary's canteen, and replaced all the people in the canteen with the most reliable people, and soon the canteen served food normally, and there was another soup on the recruit's menu, and those young people did not know that it had been mixed with a potion to make up for their congenital deficiencies, except for complaining that the soup tasted a little strange one day.

However, this potion is also strange, it is only useful for those who are born weak, and it is useless for those who are born strong, and Havic's own son also serves in the Dragon Yin Mercenary Regiment, and little Havic's body has always been very strong, so the potions are of no help to him at all. And for the other teenager Feiqi is completely different, Feiqi is the son of Shelly, who is born with a thin physique, and later after testing, he has the magic expertise of both qi and water, originally Shelly only needs to sponsor some gold coins to the mercenary union, Feiqi does not need to enlist as a mercenary, and Alan can learn magic, but after the establishment of the Dragon Yin Mercenary Group, in order to encourage the people around him to send their children to their own mercenary group, Shelly simply let Feige also join, and he also quarreled with his wife about this. However, after using the potion for a period of time, Feiqi's body has also undergone significant changes, turning into a burly young man, and if he still wants to escape military service with his current body, Shelly is only afraid that he will have to hemorrhage to get rid of the mercenary union officials.

Just when the combat effectiveness of the Dragon Yin Mercenary Regiment was rapidly rising with the help of the potion, Ao Gucheng ushered in a new year.

The New Year's celebration was very lively, at the request of Holance, Allen deliberately spent some time designing some magic fireworks magic array, for the New Year's performance, and at the same time, Holland also invited some performing artists who traveled around the mainland to hold a series of performances in the ancient city of Aogu, so that the atmosphere to welcome the New Year was more enthusiastic.

Of course, the liveliest event was the New Year's reception at the Château d'Oko, which, as in previous years, gathered all the powerful people of the ancient city-state. However, unlike in previous years, when he was just a guest, at this year's cocktail party, Alan was equivalent to half a host, and he had been accompanying Holland to receive all kinds of guests, and his facial muscles were about to stiffen when he smiled.

When Gerald, the agent of the Hepburn family in the ancient city of Austria, came to toast, his eyes swept over Allen's face like a poisonous snake, and his eyes were full of resentment, although his identity as an agent has not changed, but because Allen terminated the magic array transaction with him, his status in the eyes of the Hepburn family has been greatly reduced, and even because the drug business has become precarious.

Unlike Gerald's coldness and even resentment, another person showed unprecedented affection for Allen, this person was Reinhardt, after drinking with Holland, he took Allen's hand, and leaned his mouth on Allen's ear for a long time, the intimate look seemed to be between the two of them who had been friends for many years, which made Hollander frown.

The reception ended with a dazzling fireworks.

The next day, while the core figures were there, a military conference was held in Ogu Castle, and the participants were mainly the chief and deputy of the five mercenary groups, and the main discussion at the meeting was the issue of army expansion, and finally studied the changes in the situation on the continent.

To Horanster's surprise, the Holy See, having fully mastered Higg, did not have any intention of rushing to act against Jus, and the situation on both sides of the Togolese hills was calm.

However, even if the Holy See did not attack Yuz, but Yus's life was not easy, last autumn the orc army launched the largest attack on Valen Pass in recent years, nearly 50,000 orc legions and 100,000 Yus Northern legions around Valen Pass A series of fierce battles took place. The Northern Legion, under the leadership of Lieutenant General Bernard, was as indestructible as a rock, and the orcs did not get any benefits from the siege of the city for more than a month.

Yus's troubles did not come only from the north, when the barbarians living in the southwestern mountains suddenly left the cottage where they had lived for generations under the leadership of Prince Badutula, and broke into the human settlement, many towns were attacked by them, and the largest town in the southwestern frontier, the city of Baris, was breached.

After the fall of Barris, the barbarians burned and plundered the city, and the inhabitants were killed and wounded, and the local garrison wanted to recapture the city, but they could not attack it repeatedly, and when they were exhausted, they were counterattacked by the barbarians, and they could only retreat while urgently asking for help from Boulder City.
