Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Sold Legion

Human trafficking Zhou Tian doesn't mind doing it, after all, Zhou Tian is confident that he is still very good at the orcs under his hands, and even the civilians feel happy under his hands, if he really buys a large number of orc slaves, as long as Zhou Tian does not treat them differently, then it may be a good thing for those orcs to be acquired.

In this way, when Zhou Tian himself was short of people, if someone really wanted to sell people to him, in fact, Zhou Tian had no reason to refuse at that time. It's just that even if Zhou Tian doesn't mind buying some people to come back to enrich the territory, the orcs he bought should never come from the army.

That's right, as the lion-headed man said, the orc soldiers are in good physical condition, and Zhou Tian can add a boost in the future as long as he cultivates a little. Maybe it's possible to build a vindictive army. But this thing looks good, but Zhou Tian must consider the consequences of doing so.

Selling in-service soldiers is fundamentally challenging the bottom line of the orc empire.

Ordinary orcs are sold and sold, although it is a little cruel, but the fact is that the orc empire can't afford to support so many civilians at all, and those orcs are not of much value, if there is really a need in that regard, the high-level of the orc empire can turn a blind eye to the actions of those slave traders.

But can orc soldiers be compared to civilians?

To put it bluntly, if Zhou Tian really made this deal with the lion-headed man, then it would be tantamount to turning the Thirteenth Army from the national army into his own private army. And there are two such actions, no matter how strong the military strength of the orc empire is, it will not allow the nobles to mess around like this.

Today, Zhou Tian will accept the Thirteenth Legion as a private soldier, so there will definitely be other nobles who will do the same in the future. Although the orc nobles themselves have a certain influence on the army formed by their own race, the army is still regulated by the state in the general direction. And once all the elite armies become the private soldiers of the nobles, then the originally powerful orc empire may also fall apart.

So Zhou Tian knew very well that buying a population was not a big deal, but how big was the impact of buying a legion. In this way, after listening to the lion-headed man's words at that time, Zhou Tian was 'frightened' by the other party's words.

I believe that the lion-headed man couldn't have been unclear about what his words meant, but after watching Zhou Tian's performance at that time, he was still not affected. As if he didn't know the consequences of selling the legion at all, he actually opened his mouth and provoked Zhou Tian at that time: "Why, you don't dare to buy it?"

"Of course I don't dare to buy it. At that time, after listening to the words of the lion-headed man, Zhou Tian nodded directly and replied affirmatively: "I admit that my territory needs population, and it will be beneficial to me if I can make a deal with you, but it is only to sell soldiers, and only people like you dare to do such a thing, although the population is needed, I don't think those soldiers are worth it for me to risk the destruction of the territory to trade with you." So, if you really want me to buy the Thirteenth Legion soldiers for the purpose of coming here this time, then I can only say sorry to you. ”

After listening to Zhou Tian's words, the lion-headed man was not angry, because he knew very well at that time that it was normal for Zhou Tian to behave like that, after all, selling soldiers is not as good as selling civilians, and no one would dare to do it if he didn't have the corresponding confidence, and even those dukes and princes in the imperial capital didn't dare to do it, and now Zhou Tian, a little baron, didn't dare to meddle in this business, which was a normal thing.

However, although Zhou Tian had already explicitly rejected his proposal at that time, the lion-headed man was still unaffected. As if he hadn't heard Zhou Tian's words, he smiled confidently, and after listening to Zhou Tian's words, he still explained to him: "I naturally know that selling soldiers is a taboo behavior, but selling ordinary soldiers is definitely something that no one dares to do, but selling soldiers of the Thirteenth Legion, believe it or not, even if this matter is spread, you will not be guilty but meritorious." Even if those nobles in the imperial capital will not reward you, they will definitely not blame you at that time. ”

"Who are you fooling!" didn't take the lion-headed man's words seriously, and after listening to the other party's explanation, Zhou Tian only said perfunctorily to him at that time: "Really? ”

How could Zhou Tian easily believe the words of the lion-headed man, after all, the army is no trivial matter, and in matters related to the stability of the country, Zhou Tian did not think that the thirteenth legion would be a special case. After all, no matter how unpopular they are, the army is still an army, and it is impossible for the orc empire's top brass not to treat them as an army because of something that the thirteenth army has committed! If this is the case, then there is already a history of legions being directly packaged and sold eight hundred years ago.

Even if an orc legion is very valuable, the top of the orc empire will let them die on which battlefield at most, and if they really want to sell them, then no one really has the guts.

Therefore, when Zhou Tian thought in his heart that it was impossible for the 'safe' selling of the legion to appear, no matter how the lion-headed man explained it at that time, it was difficult for him to believe the other party.

It was also because Zhou Tian didn't trust the other party at all, although the lion-headed man explained his proposal, but in the end, Zhou Tian chose to be suspicious and didn't believe the other party's words.

Zhou Tian's thoughts were basically on his face, so what he thought at that time, it was impossible for him to hide it from the lion-headed man, and because it was easy to guess the reason why Zhou Tian's thoughts were in his heart, after watching Zhou Tian's performance, the lion-headed man also felt a little helpless at that time.

Based on the content of this transaction, it was normal for Zhou Tian to be suspicious of him at the time, and in fact, if this matter was not to be passed through his hands, the lion-headed man himself would have doubted his explanations. And under the circumstances, Zhou Tian's reaction was a matter of course. But he still needed to make Zhou Tian believe his explanation and cooperate with him in that situation.

Undoubtedly, no matter what aspect you looked at at that time, it was not easy to get Zhou Tian to cooperate with him willingly. If there was a choice, the actual lion-headed people didn't really want to take on such tasks. But unfortunately, since he has come forward now, he will not be able to refuse the task he is now carrying.

"You may not believe my explanation, but everything I said this time is true. As long as you are willing, then the Thirteenth Legion can really sell it directly to you, and it will not be sold in an ordinary way, but in a way that will never cause trouble, if you don't believe it, then after listening to my trading method, you can decide whether you want to trade with us or not, so there will be no problem!" Even if Zhou Tian didn't look interested, the lion-headed man finally made an effort on this matter according to his own task.

"Then tell me about it!What is the situation?" Although Zhou Tian's heart was a thousand and ten thousand did not believe the other party's words, but in the end, after listening to the lion-headed man's words, he still chose to listen to his explanation. After all, Zhou Tian was still interested in that deal in his heart, after all, if Zhou Tian reached a deal with him, then what he would gain would be to save decades of development time for the territory, and even if he couldn't reach a deal, would it be illegal to listen to the words of the lion-headed man?

And after listening to Zhou Tian's answer, the lion-headed man was obviously relieved. After all, he came here today with a mission, although Zhou Tian's strength is completely inadequate compared to him, but it can determine the success of his mission this time. As for the 'sale' of a legion, I want to know the importance of this task, as long as the lion-headed man has his own ambitions and wants to climb up, he must attach great importance to this mission.

Therefore, after listening to Zhou Tian's answer at that time, the lion-headed man breathed a sigh of relief, and then explained the special situation of the Thirteenth Legion under Zhou Tian's annotation.

"The Thirteenth Legion is a very special team in our empire, it was established ten years ago, under the suppression of the imperial high-level, now this legion has reached the place where it is about to collapse, even if I don't look for you today, it is estimated that this legion will disappear directly into history in the near future. And this time the transaction was actually agreed by the top of the empire, and the way of the deal was to let those soldiers retire from the army, and then sell them to you as civilian slaves, so that even if someone wants to settle accounts with you about this matter in the future, you don't have to worry about what tricks will be in the hands of the other party. After all, not only are most of the nobles involved in this transaction, but the military department is the largest seller, and if you don't believe me, we can even sign an agreement with you privately. "I don't care about Zhou Tian's opinion at all, the lion-headed man is like that in front of him, Chi Guoguo sold the soldiers of that legion.
