Bai Qitong Guò, with his high prestige and position in the city of Leony, issued a recruitment order in the name of the Senate of Leoni.

In the recruitment order, Bai Qi recruited the Great Samurai of Freedom and the Chosen Warrior from the entire human city-state, and followed him to assassinate Captain Sassen.

Since priests can only be trained by the temple system, there is no such thing as a free priest, so priests are not in the scope of recruitment.

In the recruitment order, Bai Qi promised that if they could successfully kill Captain Sassen and become the first consul of Blackwater, the great samurai who followed him would receive ownership of a piece of land that was enough to cultivate 10,000 acres of fertile land, and the ordinary Chosen Warriors would receive 1,000 acres of land.

A great samurai with 10,000 acres of fertile land is the object of intermarriage among all the great nobles with strong bloodlines.

If the civilian Chosen Warrior can obtain a thousand acres of land, he is qualified to intermarry with a low-level nobleman with a better bloodline, if he is lucky enough, the Chosen Warrior can appear in the family for three consecutive generations, and after three generations of intermarriage, this family will be recognized and accepted by the human aristocracy, and a thousand acres of land is enough for a small family to live a decent life.

Such a commitment is absolutely fatal to the temptation of indigenous warriors, who are willing to give it a try, even if they know that the chances are slim.

Because they know that this kind of opportunity to reach the sky in one step will not appear once in a hundred years.

There are no more than two ways out for ordinary civilian gods-selected warriors, one is to join a noble family, become a vassal samurai, and fight hard all their lives, and they may not be able to get hundreds of acres of land.

The other way is to join the city-state army and become a junior officer.

Although the rewards for military merit are generous, they are also more dangerous.

Few nobles were willing to intermarry commoner samurai. That would dilute the good blood of the nobles, who would prefer to intermarry with other nobles who also had good blood. Unless there was a great benefit, they would marry the less important daughters of the family to the commoner samurai.

The natives of this world are extremely gifted. Even if there is a lack of systematic training, there can always be one or two out of two hundred people who can advance to the Chosen Warriors, so there is no shortage of Chosen Warriors, but it is rare to see one Chosen Warrior who can establish a family inheritance in ten years, and if you want to become a middle- and upper-class nobleman, even for the great samurai, it is an unattainable delusion.

So, when Bai Qi issued this recruitment order in the name of the Senate of Leoni. Almost all of the free-spirited civilian warriors who had been concentrated in Leoni because of the war flocked to Bai Qi's mansion, outside the merchant's castle.

The fact that this recruitment order can have such a good effect is also related to Bai Qi's reputation at this time.

Not to mention the thousands of fish-man heads he sent back to Leony City, not to mention that he was able to deceive back a battleship from the City of Water Pirates unscathed with only a few dozen followers, not to mention that he captured the core of Blackwater City under the noses of thousands of Water Thieves, Blackwater Castle's glorious achievements, just the admiration of the Archon of Leoni City for him, is enough to make it famous.

The consul of Leoni appeared to be only a middle-aged man, but he was in fact nearly sixty years old. He had reigned for nearly thirty years, and before he ascended to the throne of consul, he was already a famous general in the human world, once leading a legion in a field battle to defeat the orcs who broke through the defenses of the Arare River Valley. Turned the tide of that inevitable war.

That battle was also one of the few times that humans fought orcs in the field.

After ascending to the throne of archon, he had twice held the orc army to the east of the defense line of the Arare River Valley, and had a reputation as a god of war among the human city-states.

is such a famous general. He also admired Bai Qi, a civilian warrior who suddenly rose, and would be a "warrior". The title of "famous general" and even "hero" was added to his head without hesitation.

Not only the consuls. Every veteran and general who met him praised his bravery and nobility without hesitation.

The martial Leonids have already seen Bai Qi as a rising star, a new generation of "General Bruce".

Therefore, on the first day that Bai Qi issued the recruitment order, he recruited more than a dozen Chosen Warriors, which not only made everyone dumbfounded, but even made Bai Qi stunned.

You must know that such a force is not even worse than some middle families. This is only the first day of recruitment.

This made people surprised to find that if Bai Qi did achieve the first consul of Blackwater City, then he would no longer be an empty position, but could actually gain control of a new city-state.

This discovery changed the gaze of the nobles at Bai Qi again, and also made the Chosen Warriors who accepted the conscription very excited, and at the same time attracted more Chosen Warriors for him.

In just three days, nearly thirty Chosen Warriors joined Bai Qi's command, and even a great warrior became his follower.

This Great Samurai was a mountain barbarian named Ushtu, who was joined with four Chosen Warrior-level Barbarian followers.

The mountain barbarians are a group of humans living in the Arare Mountains, unlike the humans on the plains, who have cultivated for a living, there is no arable land in the Arare Mountains, and the mountain barbarians rely entirely on hunting as a food source, which is a group of humans who eat pure meat.

The harsh environment and ancient traditional living habits have tempered the mountain barbarians with strong physique and violent combat skills, and the chance of the Chosen Warrior among the mountain barbarians is five times higher than that of ordinary humans.

The barren mountains do not support much of the population, so the mountain barbarians are not very populous, scattered in tribes of hundreds of people in the Arare Mountains for thousands of kilometers.

Due to the lack of food, mountain barbarians often leave the mountains and enter human city-states, where they are hired by human traders.

Because of their boldness and strength, human merchants like to hire them, and city-states often hire barbarian mercenaries to clear the perimeter of dangerous biomes.

The mountain barbarians did not like to sail, so they were rarely seen on merchant ships, but they were definitely indispensable to overland caravans.

Ustu, the leader of the mountain barbarian mercenaries in Leony, was a powerful and famous warrior who had been adopted by an old human sailor as a teenager and lived on a ship for a while, so he did not hate boating as much as other mountain barbarians.

The mountain barbarian was not interested in the land, and he asked Bai Qi to convert the land into gold coins.

Bai Qi immediately agreed to convert 10,000 acres of land into 5,000 gold coins, and paid him a deposit of 1,000 gold coins on the spot.

If it is 10,000 acres of cultivated fertile land, of course, it is worth more than 5,000 gold coins, but the wasteland that has not yet been reclaimed, this price is quite generous.

Ushtu was very satisfied with the employment agreement with Baiqi.

It wasn't until the fourth day that the number of people who came to enlist gradually decreased, and these nearly thirty or so Chosen Warriors and a Grand Samurai had already included the vast majority of the free warriors in the entire city of Leony.

Such a force has already frightened many wealthy nobles, even the Byron family, a wealthy family that has been inherited for hundreds of years, has only the high-end power they have.

However, the matter did not end there, as the news spread, the free warriors who were not interested in war in other city-states were also converging towards Leoni.

When Bai Qi recruited more than forty Chosen Warriors, even the Archon couldn't sit still.

Looking at Bai Qi who walked into the patriarch's hall, the archon looked at him with a frown, as if he was thinking about how to open his mouth, after all, he personally allowed Bai Qi to recruit free warriors, but even he didn't expect this recruitment order to have such a great appeal.

And it is foreseeable that as Bai Qi recruits more people, the appeal of the recruitment order will become, because the greater the power gathered by Bai Qi's subordinates, the greater the possibility that he will complete the task.

There were not many freelance civilian samurai in the city-state, and most of the civilian samurai would be recruited by the military or nobles in order to obtain a more affluent life.

However, the twenty-two city-states combined, how to say that there are also one or two hundred warriors who like to be chosen by the gods of freedom, as well as the unknown great warriors hidden in them, Bai Qi only needs to recruit a small half of this force under his command, which is a high-end force that is strong enough to rival any powerful family in the human city-state.

Seeing the embarrassed look on the consul's face for the first time, Bai Qi couldn't help but smile secretly, he walked quickly towards the consul, and came to the high platform under the consul's seat, he did not stop, but walked up and walked until he walked in front of the consul.

The archon didn't have much vigilance about Bai Qi's approach, but just looked at him with some doubts.

His strength was too far behind the Archons to pose any threat to the Archons.

Bai Qi walked up to the archon, took out a parchment, and handed it to the other party with both hands.

The archon opened the parchment and saw a detailed description of a method of training warriors.

He quickly recognized the training method that Bai Qi used to train Gunder and Roundup.

As if he understood something, the archon raised his head, glanced at Bai Qi meaningfully, and lowered his head to continue reading.

Bai Qi also returned with the same meaningful smile, slowly retreated from the high platform, and waited quietly. (To be continued......)
