Chapter 261: Thanks

"Sister-in-law, haven't slept so late?"

After seeing Kevin away, Alan was about to go back to his study when he ran into Isha in the hallway. Isha has been here for a few days, but Alan has been busy preparing for the mercenary group since she returned, and has not had time to chat with her.

"Didn't you sleep too?"

"I just came back and have so much to do that I don't have time to sleep at all. ”

"Alan, maybe I can help?"

"What's the busy?"

Eren didn't understand what Isha meant.

"I can help with recruitment, I can help you with the supply of soldiers. ”

"Soldiers?"

"Yes. Many of the children of the nomads who fled have grown up, and many of them have inherited the blood of the steppe people, and they all have strong physiques that can become excellent warriors in the future. ”

"Oh!"

Alan understood what Isha meant, she must have heard from Havic and others about the recruits recruited by the mercenary group, so she came up with this idea. But it was a good idea, the young men of the nomads stayed on the steppe to fight the orcs, and the border guards of Yuss did not allow them to enter, but the elderly, women and children could take refuge in the customs, and now three years have passed, and many of the original children have grown up to be old enough to enlist in the army.

"The purpose of this conscription is to form a new mercenary group, and the nomads are not from the ancient city of Oku, and are not subject to the regulations of conscription at all. ”

Alan still has some concerns, after all, they are recruiting mercenaries this time, which is the obligation of the residents of the ancient city of Aocheng, not the nomads, and it is still a suspense whether the nomads are willing to serve the ancient city of Aocheng.

"Nomads are all soldiers, and almost every child grows up to be a soldier, so there's nothing wrong with letting them be soldiers. ”

"Sister-in-law, to tell you the truth, this mercenary group was formed to deal with the changes in the situation in the south, and the enemies of the nomads are orcs, will they be willing to join?"

Alan asked hesitantly.

"I'm afraid it's not up to them to want it. After all, they have been eating you and using you in the past few years, and now that you need them, they should naturally stand up and serve, and they should understand the least reason. ”

Isha said justifiably, and the reason why she thought so was also justified, in the past three years, most of the money for the relief of nomadic refugees came from Alan, and without Alan, these refugees would have become slaves in the families of the powerful, if not starved to death.

"Sister-in-law, let's wait and see what the results of Big Brother Bloom's conscription are, if there are not enough soldiers, then I'll go to Lord Ogu to pick some from Iron Pine Town. ”

Alan nodded, and what Isha pointed out was indeed a feasible path, if there was really a deal between Ogu and Yous, Yus would go all out against the Holy See, and Ogu would be responsible for blocking the orc legions heading south, so that it would be more logical to let the children of the nomads join in.

The next morning, just after getting up, Alan asked the servants to quietly call Sergei and Fresnel to the study, and now because there are guards sent by Holland to protect themselves, it is no longer convenient for Sergei and Fresnel to protect themselves, and they spend most of their time resting in a hidden room in the backyard, but fortunately, the elf's character is quiet by nature and not afraid of loneliness.

"I need a favor from both of you. ”

"The Great Elder doesn't need to be polite, just tell me if you have anything. ”

Seeing Alan speak to himself in an inquisitive tone made Sergei formalize as well.

"Okay, you two go back to the Elven Forest, and bring a letter to His Majesty Grantham for me. ”

Alan took out the letter he had prepared and handed it to the two men. Of course, the content of the letter is that he hopes that the elf king Kronis can take the initiative to give him a batch of wood, and he is not worried that Klonis will refuse him, Klonis has long intended to involve himself in the political affairs of the mainland, and it is best to have his own military strength, and now is undoubtedly a good opportunity, so if Klonis knows that he needs some flowers and trees in order to form a mercenary group, I believe he will definitely not hesitate.

"Although you are the Great Elder, we should obey your orders, but our main task by your side is to keep you safe, how can we keep you safe if we are all gone?" ”

Fresnel took the letter and handed it to Sergei, and she clearly did not want to leave.

"It's all right, you decide, but act now. ”

"Okay, I'll go back alone, and you stay here to continue protecting the Great Elder. ”

Sergei was a little reluctant to leave Fresnel, but he nodded and agreed.

"Sergey, be careful on the road. ”

Before leaving, Alan admonished.

The day after quietly sending Sergei away, Alan came to Ogu Castle to report to Horantst the results of his trip to Longshen Mountain, and reported his solution to Holranster in detail. And this time, he called Herbert with him, and having Herbert by his side will make him twice as effective with half the effort.

"Alan, the old man is throwing himself to the ground for the five bodies you admire. The mission of Dragon God Mountain has always been a regret of the Ogu family, and now it has been smoothed out by you, and you are worthy of the trust that the lord has placed in you. ”

Without waiting for Hollander to speak, Herbert first gave Allen a full affirmation of his plan.

"Alan, this trip has been hard, the plan is as you said, I will greet the mercenary union when I go back, and ask them to come according to the new rules. ”

Hollandster gave Herbert a meaningful look before smiling at Allen.

Coming out of Castle Ogu, Alan went to the barracks again, looked at the training of the recruits, inspected the barracks, looked at the accommodation conditions of the recruits, and at night Alan simply dined in the barracks.

"Tonight, the head of the Kante regiment paid out of his own pocket to improve everyone's life, adding a chicken leg to each person. ”

Hearing the good news, the recruits, who had been trained half to death, jumped up excitedly. Seeing the group of children excited because of a chicken leg, Alan didn't know whether to be happy or sad, and for the first time he realized that money was so useful.

That night, Alan slept well, and the next morning, after breakfast, he was about to go to the alchemy room in the backyard to start his copper-smelling business, when suddenly the butler ran in in a panic to inform a large group of strange mercenaries outside the door, saying that he wanted to see Alan.

Alan didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly came to the door to see what was going on. He thought it was someone from his mercenary group, but he didn't expect that there could be hundreds of strange faces in the dark area outside the door, and there were not only mercenaries but also some women with them, as if the family had come.

"The Chief Archmage has come out. ”

Someone recognized Allen and shouted excitedly, and the crowd suddenly stirred, and many people who didn't know Allen stretched their necks to see Allen's true face and see if he was the legendary hero with a length of eight feet and a waist circumference of eight feet.
