97. Self-appointed military advisor

Zhang Li was angry and left, the black-hearted boss of the blacksmith shop had a face that ate him, he offered ten gold to buy a broken iron sword, and the female boss was unmoved, and finally he left angrily.

Not long after he was gone, there was a wail in the blacksmith's shop.

"I'm so stupid~~ (harmonic sound)!Why didn't I promise him!Why didn't I promise him!?" The female shopkeeper knelt on the ground and hit her head against the wall, her face was full of remorse, and several blacksmith apprentices next to her looked at her blankly and didn't dare to make a sound.

"DuangDuangDuang......" here is the sound produced by the head in close contact with the wall.

"Damn! If he had one more copper, I'd agree!" Seeing her regret, the apprentices next to her said to themselves: No, if he gives you an extra gold, you won't agree to it.

In short, Zhang Li couldn't see this scene, he was originally upset because he couldn't get the fake Tibu and the dragon tooth dagger, and now he was even more depressed by this unlucky woman who couldn't eat oil and salt.

"If I don't have a mission, I'll create a mission myself......

..................

"......" Althea has been fighting hard lately, and since the defeat in that battle, she seems to have entered a certain realm, a realm where she will never rest until she squeezes herself dry.

"Miss, it's time for you to rest, not only is it not good for revenge for you to force yourself like this, but if something happens to your body, it will slow us down. Althea had a dark eye under her eyes, and she stared at the documents in her hand regardless of the persuasion of others, and the commander of the night watch usually dealt with some trivial matters within the army, which were usually handled by her assistants.

"That's right, what you're doing doesn't make any sense, you can't handle it well, Tom they're more experienced than you, and you're adding to the mess by staying here. "This is another captain, one of the four captains rescued by Zhang Li, a member of the radical faction at that time, whose name seems to be Harding.

"Hey, how can you talk to Miss like that?!" The captain who was the first to speak to persuade was furious: "Although what you said is true...... But you can't put it mildly?"

"What am I euphemizing? If you don't make it clear, Miss will always torture herself, with all due respect, Miss, this self-punishment of yours is very naΓ―ve, like a child who is angry with himself again......"

Before he could finish speaking, Althea's eyes overflowed with tears, and she watched her twitch...... One draw......

It was obviously about to cry, and the captain of the Night's Watch, who had just taken a stern posture, instantly coaxed down.

"That, Miss, I'm just a person who likes to talk nonsense, don't take it to heart......"

The more he persuaded Althee, the more she cried.

"I ...... I know that's the case...... But every time I close my eyes, I seem to see my dead companions appear before me, and they keep accusing me of not having to die if it weren't for my flawed plan...... Woo...... Woohoo......"

"No, no, no, it's not all your responsibility, we are part of this plan, even Lord Sorigal has agreed to this plan, if it weren't for the hateful Defia bandits, we would have been able to wipe out those ogres. ”

"That's right, Miss, everyone has a responsibility, and we as soldiers are ready to die at any time when we join the Night's Watch, and we can't blame you......"

"If you want to blame it, blame the old men in Stormwind City, if they send a legion at random, we don't have to pay such sacrifices......"

The persuasion of many captains made it clear that they were very rare Althea, and it was very doubtful that they were really so loyal, or if it was due to the influence of some aspect of men.

Althea gradually stopped crying under the comfort of everyone, she lowered her head and said nothing, no one else spoke anymore, everyone was embarrassed and didn't know what to say, only Althea sobbed from time to time was left on the scene.

Until a clerk suddenly noticed that there was one more person at the window.

"Uh...... Looks like I couldn't have come at the right time. It was Zhang Li, who saw that he had been discovered, so he had to say something to break the peace.

"Yes...... Is that you?"

"Li, what are you doing here?" These captains frowned when they saw that it was Zhang Li, and although they knew each other, their palms still slowly moved towards the hilt of the sword.

Zhang Li smiled: "Ah, that's the case, because I saved you before, the generous Duke asked me to choose one of the three treasures as my reward, but those three treasures are too good, I really can't give up, so come over to see if there are any more difficult tasks, if you can earn the remaining two as well, it would be great." ”

"......" everyone looked at each other without saying a word.

"I just came in and saw what you were worried about, how about it? Do you want to hire me? I think I still have some ability, if you are willing to hire me, maybe your problem will be solved?" After speaking, Zhang Li stared at them expectantly with wide eyes.

β€œ...... Please get out. ”

..................

"In view of the fact that you have just experienced a big defeat, I have summarized for you the two most important priorities, one is people, and the other is money. Zhang Li sat in the corner of Althea's table very unimpressively, talking about everything.

"You were almost wiped out in the previous battle, and it was thanks to me that I was able to retain some of the team, but if you want to return to subvert the number of people again, with what you are doing now, it will be absolutely useless for a few years. ”

"The reason why you can't recruit soldiers, with all due respect, is because you are so picky, and those subjects who have to serve in the military will not talk about it, but talk about the mercenaries of the free people, and you will only pay a little military salary, and in order to prevent them from escaping, you will have to withhold a month's salary, and if you die, you will not even have a pension, and those who come to you to serve as soldiers are not the breadwinners of a family? If they die, their families will only get a little salary, and I will not give you my life. ”

Zhang Li muttered here, and Althea glared at him coldly, as if she was looking at a hehe.

"If you have any thoughts on the mercenary system in all of Azeroth, please go to the church and talk to the priests, they will be happy to listen to your opinions and give you enough care and patience, so, can you please leave here?" Althea said in a very unkind tone.

Zhang Li continued without caring at all: "The traditional concept does not mean that it is correct, believe me, if you issue an announcement now, telling everyone that as long as they are willing to come to the army, you will be responsible for providing for his family after he dies in battle, I dare to say that it will not take a few days, and the number and skills of those who want to join the army will be lined up from Night Town to Crow Ridge." ”

Althea sneered: "Yes, there must be a lot of people in this way, but the money that could have hired ten people can only be hired now, you tell me where I got so much money to recruit people?"

Zhang Li: "So, I said before that there are two necessary matters, one is people, and the other is money, so don't I have to start talking about money?"

Althea was a very impatient girl, and her sneering face collapsed directly: "Enough! I don't want to listen to your nonsense anymore, as Eberlock's daughter, I don't need a robber to teach me how to do things, Hardin!

Captain Harding walked over with a smile on his face: "Hey, Li, I just know now that you are such a funny person, okay, Miss is driving people away, you better get out of here." ”

"Why? I didn't do anything unreasonable? Besides, you young lady doesn't have any serious work, so I'm not much of an obstruction to my official duties. ”
