Recruitment points have been set up at the four gates of Songhai City, and there are many passers-by around, but few have come forward to sign up. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Why did the city lord suddenly want to recruit troops?" Many people were puzzled by the sudden recruitment.

"You all know about the slaughter of Oran Village, right?" said a well-informed person proudly, and he didn't answer directly, but hung the appetite of the people around him.

Sure enough, someone was aroused by him and asked aloud: "I know, but what does this have to do with recruitment?"

"The slaughter of the village is an act of revenge by the werewolves, and it is said that it is not over yet, and they will come back to retaliate. ”

"Ah, the city lord recruited troops to deal with werewolves?"

"Werewolves are extremely fierce, wolf cavalry is famous on the mainland, fighting werewolves, oh my God, it's too dangerous. ”

Suddenly, everyone knew the purpose of the city lord's recruitment, and naturally many people were afraid of werewolves and were afraid.

A young man said sarcastically: "Hmph, coward, werewolf is mad, slaughtering the people, a manly man, naturally he should join the army to protect his family and defend the country." Then he walked out of the crowd and walked towards the registration point.

Moved by the heroism of the man, many people came up with the idea of joining the army, but unfortunately too few really took that step.

......

Several people were gathered together, dressed in shabby clothes and full of pudding, and although they had vegetables, they were strong and strong, and they were obviously accustomed to manual work.

"Big brother, I don't have any work today, and my salary is only three copper coins"

"Hey, I originally wanted to take advantage of the farm to find a job in the city to make some money, but I didn't expect this to be the only thing."

"Be content, at least save a ration for your family"

"I heard that the city lord recruits soldiers, once selected, you can get five silver coins to settle in, and there will be a monthly salary of one silver coin in the future, it is better to ......" The man said here and stopped, looking at the person who was called the eldest brother by everyone.

After hearing this, the eldest brother was silent, fell into a state of deep thought, and said after a long time: "Okay, let's go to the army!"

None of the other people objected, and all of them looked excited.

They are all children of peasant families in villages and towns outside the city, and their families have few fields and many brothers.

What's more, how can a man not want to become famous and achieve a meritorious career.

......

At dusk, the government affairs hall.

"Your Highness, if the shield is made of wood, your subordinates will guarantee that a thousand sets of swords and shields will be built within a month," the administrative officer issued a military order to Shaoyang.

Shaoyang didn't think much about it, so he agreed: "Okay, this matter is important, don't slack off, don't be stingy with money, tell the craftsmen, as long as they complete the task on time, they will be rewarded, you go down first." ”

At first, Shaoyang wanted to directly build an iron sword and iron shield, but the iron ore in Songhai City was insufficient, and the time was too late, so the shield was changed to wooden, and there was a chance to build an iron shield in the future.

After the administrative officer left, Zhao Yun and Xu Sanmu were left in the hall, but their faces were not very good-looking at this time.

Shaoyang asked suspiciously: "Zilong, Captain Xu, what happened, you seem to be in a bad mood." ”

After the two glanced at each other, Zhao Yun replied: "Your Majesty, Yun has a negative trust, and the recruitment of troops is not ideal......

Today's recruitment, some people responded, but it was only a few, plus the conditions set by Zhao Yun were relatively strict, and at the end of the day, dozens of people were recruited.

The recruitment did not go as smoothly as expected, Shaoyang was a little frustrated in his heart, but he could understand it, and instead of blaming, he comforted him: "Today is the first day of recruitment, it is understandable, you two don't have to blame yourself too much." ”

"Thank you. ”

Shaoyang also knew the conditions for Zhao Yun's selection of troops, and said with a slight hesitation: "Do you want to lower some conditions?"

Without a trace of hesitation, Zhao Yun immediately refused: "By all means, if the conditions are lowered, first, it will take more time to train, and secondly, the strength of the recruited soldiers will be unbearable." ”

Zhao Yun didn't know the talisman, in order to recruit strong soldiers, everything must be strict. Shaoyang had no choice but to explain: "Zilong rest assured, there is a way to quickly improve the strength of the soldiers. ”

Out of absolute trust in Shaoyang, Zhao Yun did not insist, and said: "The requirements for the physical strength of soldiers can be appropriately reduced, but other aspects cannot be relaxed. ”

After that, the three of them discussed the details of the recruitment, and it was not until it was completely dark that they had dinner together.

In the north city of Songhai City, a large number of mansions are adjacent, and in one of the mansions, several Chinese people dressed in Chinese costumes gathered together, and the leader was the head of the Xu family, Xu Sanmu's father, and Xu Tianyuan.

The rest of the people were the patriarchs of several major Chinese families in Songhai City, and they were suddenly called over by Xu Tianyuan, and they had some guesses, but they still couldn't determine the reason. After a few pleasantries, some people couldn't wait to ask.

"Master Xu, I don't know what you called us here for all of a sudden?"

"Brother Xu, it's good to send someone to pass on a message, why bother to mobilize the people. ”

......

After signaling everyone to be quiet, Xu Tianyuan took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and said in a calm tone: "Ladies and gentlemen, our families have intersected for generations, and when we encounter major events, we have always advanced and retreated together. I invite you here today because of a major matter to discuss. ”

"What the hell is going on?" asked Jiang Tu, the head of the Jiang family.

Xu Tianyuan said solemnly: "Everyone already knows that the werewolf slaughter village has no accident, and they may come again. ”

Several major families have been entrenched in Songhai City for hundreds of years, and they have been deeply rooted, and they have made a lot of friends with werewolves and even orcs, so they don't care too much about this matter.

"Werewolves slaughter and loot some small villages at most, and it happened from time to time in winter in previous years, why did Brother Xu mention this matter?"

It's not that they're ruthless, it's just that orc raiding has long been a common practice.

Xu Tianyuan also knew what everyone thought, so he had to say solemnly: "I'm afraid this time it's not so simple, the third prince of the werewolves, Valer, will take revenge, and he has an army of 10,000 people in his hands, next time, it may not be to slaughter the village, but to slaughter the city." ”

"Slaughtering the city? And if the number of werewolves exceeds 10,000, the Northern Legion will not sit idly by. Jiang Tu's status is second only to Xu Tianyuan, and he raised doubts in his heart.

A small group of orcs came to attack, and each city could only resist it on its own, and there were not many troops in Songhai City, but several major families had a lot of private soldiers, and they were not afraid.

If there are too many orcs, it is impossible for the Northern Legion to ignore them, and they will also send troops to meet them, but they don't have to worry about it.

Most of the others held this idea and disagreed with Xu Tianyuan's statement.

"The Northern Legion will not provide any reinforcements to Songhai City. "Moissan's doesn't know when it will appear.

Several patriarchs were a little surprised by the person who suddenly appeared, except for Jiang Tu, who felt that this person was a little familiar, they didn't know Mo Sang, and looked at Xu Tianyuan in confusion, waiting for his explanation.

Xu Tianyuan coughed dryly under the gaze of everyone before saying, "This is my friend Mo San, a ninth-level great demon master......
