There is a tall pine tree in the small square in the middle of Green Pine Town.

Under the tree, there was a few men dressed as warriors, gathered together to say something, and one of the warriors was holding on to a rope hanging from the tree, and was ringing the bell.

One by one, the townsfolk came out of their houses and walked to the big trees in the small square. Some simply climbed on the surrounding roofs and fences. surrounded a few people in front of the big tree.

Xiao Chen and the others were also wearing cloaks, blending at the end of the crowd, quietly observing what would happen.

When most of the people in the town gather. A butler-like man stood up and told everyone that Baron Klotto had another important announcement today.

Baron Klotto was a middle-aged man in armor, his hair and eyebrows were already pale, he looked to be in his sixties, he touched his beard and spoke, his breath was very full, and his voice was loud: "My lord, the Duke of Greenwood, is about to start a war. You don't have to worry about whom, why, and how you fight, you just need to know that this time our town will send out 20 people and serve for 30 days. Each adult had to pay a war tax of half a silver spear, and each child had to pay a tax of five bronze guilders. Families who leave are exempt from tax and are paid two silver coins. However, it has to be strong enough for the lad I fancie. ”

Xiao Chen found that the faces of these people around him were very ugly, according to this tax standard, a family of three must pay a silver gun and five copper dong taxes, such a sum of money is enough to save a family for a month. If there are elderly people in the family, or several children, it is really worse.

But although these people below were extremely dissatisfied in their hearts, they dared not speak out one by one. The baron's triangular eyes swept over everyone's faces, and no one dared to look at him, and they all lowered their heads.

Baron Kroto seemed pleased with the reaction of these people, and he added: "The mercenaries present can also get two silver coins from me if they are willing to serve as our people from Green Pine Town, and the Duke will also provide you with an additional mercenary according to your strength. The lower tier can get an additional hire for one golden axe, the middle tier can get five golden axes for the mercenary gold, and the mage also has an additional perk. ”

The Baron didn't raise the rank because high-level mercenaries were so rare that they couldn't be in his town.

He patted a young knight beside him and said, "Sir Turk has come from Green Pine City with enough gold coins. ”

No one signed up at the scene, and the Baron and Sir Türk did not stay long, and left the place directly. Xiao Chen looked at their backs and pondered for a long time.

The next morning, he arrived at the Baron's Court with Roger and Evelyn.

There is also a big gap between the baron and the baron, and this Baron Kloto is much worse than Baron O'Farrell in terms of strength and power. His home was nothing more than a slightly larger house.

Seeing the baron and his only son, Xiao Chen was sure that he could defeat the people in this entire house by himself. This is a strong man's intuition, he can't help but feel a little emotional, from the beginning of his various strength, only relying on gambling for his life, he can finally bully and bully people on some occasions.

"Tree mercenary group?" Baron Klotto was slightly startled when he heard the strange name.

"You can think of this as a fetish of the Dark Elves, and any name associated with a tree will bring good luck. "Today's Xiao Chen has brown hair and purple-red eyes, thanks to the hair dye and contact lenses in the storage ring. Before leaving school this time, he thought about the day when he would have a hidden identity.

"And who are you?" Baron Klotto looked at the young man in front of him.

"I'm an advisor to the mercenary group, and as you know, the dark elves don't have any business in the land of the elves, and in our human land, we need someone like me to negotiate. Xiao Chen explained.

"I never thought that the Dark Elves would come out as mercenaries. Sir Türk said from the side.

"Now you see it. Evelyn took off her hood and revealed her face, her snow-white hair dazzling against her gray skin.

Türk was stunned for a moment and said, "Well, I'm not skeptical, I'm just a little bit incredulous." ”

"Sir Türk, the reasons for being a mercenary may vary, but the purpose is the same, and that is to make money. Xiao Chen shrugged and said, "The dark elves abide by their credibility and fight bravely, they are all excellent warriors, you don't have to doubt that. Now I'm wondering, are you going to hire us?"

"I want to ...... I'll have to test it. ”

"Of course. ”

—————————————

In the afternoon of the same day, in the martial arts training ground behind the Baron's Palace.

Evelyn let go of her longbow, and an arrow flew by, nailing it to a distant target. However, her hands did not stop, and she drew arrow after arrow from her quiver and shot it at the target, although the distance was more than 100 meters, but each of her arrows landed next to the previous arrow, and they were all shot neatly in an area the size of a palm.

In less than a minute, she shot nineteen arrows, and when the last arrow was put on the string by her, she stimulated the earth fighting qi in her body, and the gray-brown fighting qi was divided into two strands and attached to the arrow, hovering over the arrow like two snakes, but it was hidden. As soon as she let go, the arrow hit the target with a whistling fighting spirit, and the two fighting spirits collided the moment the arrow touched the target, causing an explosion that tore the target and the arrow in front of it to pieces.

"This elf is actually a mid-level warrior! Baron Cloto, who was observing from the sidelines, said, "It seems that he is a little stronger than me in terms of strength." ”

"That's right, I guess she's in the middle of the middle, and what's even more rare is that she also has a good shootery. A warrior like her, one person can suppress an entire team of ordinary archers. Sir Türk said excitedly.

"And she's not the only one. Xiao Chen said.

After Evelyn, elves after elves stepped forward to shoot arrows. All the dark elves have some kind of archery, even those mages who pretend to be magic archers to shoot arrows are also decent, and they show off their skills one after another, to the amazement of the humans watching the battle.

When the twenty-one elves finished shooting the arrows, Turk couldn't suppress the joy on his face, one mid-level archer, four low-level archers, and four magic archers, and most of the other archers also had the strength of warrior apprentices, such a mercenary group is very rare even in a big city like Suero, and now it can be encountered in Green Forest City, it is really a treasure. He said to Xiao Chen, "I am very satisfied, I am willing to hire these elves on behalf of Green Forest City." ”

"Trust me, they're going to give you incredible results. Xiao Chen replied with a professional smile.
