Chapter XVII: Reorganization of the Guard
There are only more than 1,000 people in Beecher Town, two or three hundred families, and they all know each other. www.biquge.info saw Ella, who had not been seen for many days, and they were very enthusiastic.
Aunt Ella was frightened by these people, glanced at Sean, and hurriedly shook her head and said, "Don't talk nonsense, this is Lord Sean Orlando, if you dare to talk nonsense, I will tear your mouth." ”
Aunt Ella is submissive in front of Sean, but it's very spicy when she returns to Beecher Town. Those people were yelled at by Aunt Ella, and they didn't know whether they were afraid of Sean's identity or afraid of Aunt Ella, so they shrank their heads one by one and didn't speak again.
It's just that the look in Sean's eyes has changed slightly.
Sean smiled when he saw this and said, "Aunt Ella is okay, everyone is joking." But you'd better catch up later, and take me to the town's commissioner first. ”
When Aunt Ella heard this, she glared fiercely at the civilians who were joking just now, and then walked towards the town with Sean with a smile.
The civilians looked at each other when they saw Sean and Ella leave.
"Isn't the lord of the knight lord Lord Felix? A few days ago, I saw that old fellow Maxwell and that tall warrior talking about things, and the old guy didn't dare to breathe in front of the lord named Felix. ”
"Yes, I thought that warrior was the Knight Lord, but I didn't expect it to be such a small guy. ”
"This little guy is a knight lord, he doesn't stay in the knight lord manor, what is he doing in our town?"
"Hmph! I think there must be something big. I guess it had something to do with that Felix. Maybe he was bullied and came to find help. ”
......
There is no shortage of wisdom and imagination among civilians, especially this kind of thing that happens around them. Although they don't know much about the affairs of the Knight's Domain, some of the situation is clear when you think about it.
Sean didn't know that the people behind him were talking about him.
He followed Aunt Ella and soon arrived at the Beecher Town Officer's quarters. Beecher did not have a special town hall, and all the business in the town was done at the residence of the commissioner. The clerk is a person selected by the lord of the knightly lord to deal with some disputes in the town and collect taxes.
They control the financial power of the town and have a lot of money.
Aunt Ella brought Sean here, and the affairs officer didn't dare to take it. He is different from those ordinary civilians, he knows who the true lord of the knight realm is. Although surprised by Sean's arrival, Maxwell, the clerk of Beecher Town and an old man in his fifties, was respectful.
In fact, he knew Felix had put Sean in the air. But Felix dared to stand up to Sean, he was just a affairs officer, but he didn't dare to do anything to Sean. Although he is not a big official, he can sit firmly in the affairs of Beecher Town, and he also has a lot of income every year.
"Officer Maxwell. Sean sat in the officer's house and told Maxwell about the Knights' Manor.
When Maxwell heard that all the guards led by the knights were dead, he immediately stood up in shock, "How is this possible! What a group of thieves is so murderous!"
The warriors of the Knights' Manor were strong enough in Maxwell's opinion, especially Felix, the third-level warrior. But he didn't expect it to disappear like this, which made Maxwell a little difficult to accept.
Sean's face was heavy, and he said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency, I need your help. ”
Maxwell saw Sean's expression and couldn't help but look forward to it when he heard Sean's words. Felix plus the death of the entire knight guard, maybe it was the time for him to take the throne. Felix can override Sean, not necessarily he can't.
Thinking of this, Maxwell patted his chest and said loudly, "Although the lord commands, his subordinates will definitely do it!"
......
The town of Beecher that had been quiet for many years suddenly became lively, and many people rushed through the streets, all with blank, disdainful, or excited faces......
In front of the officer's residence, there is a bulletin board that is rarely used once a year.
The gist of the announcement is -
Sean Morris, the Knight Lord who rules Beecher Town, wants to recruit Guard warriors in Beecher Town. Warriors who join the Knight Guard enjoy a 'high salary' of one silver coin per month, and as long as they train on time and in quantity, they will have meat to eat every day.
In just half a day, the news spread all over Beecher Town.
Not to mention the treatment after joining the knight guard, the salary of just one silver coin a month is enough to make many people's hearts moved. The inhabitants of Beecher Town are mostly self-sufficient in life. The total value of copper and silver coins that can be handled each year is less than ten silver coins.
The monthly salary of a silver coin is enough to make many adults break their heads and scramble.
Not to mention that after joining the Knight Guard, you can still get combat skills and have plenty of meat. In fact, it is relatively easy to get the battle skills in the three kingdoms, as long as you have the money and the heart, it is not easy to get the basic skills of the level of the Demon Flame Battle Skill, but the second-class ones are still relatively simple.
It's just that there are still very few civilians who can cultivate to become warriors, and even some people can get combat skills without them cultivating.
Why is that?
In fact, the reason is very simple.
Poor and rich!
If you don't have enough money to buy food and replenish the physical energy consumed by high-intensity training and cultivation, it won't take long to waste the whole person's training. And it is not easy to hunt pheasants and hares in the mountains and forests. Those nimble pheasants and hares are not stupid.
Sean has not yet become a first-level warrior, but after cultivating, he has to eat a whole hare and two pheasants every day. Sean has magical help and can hunt for the food, but the civilians don't have the ability.
As for the large beasts, it is even more difficult for these civilians who are not even first-class warriors to hunt.
So don't look at the warriors of the knight guard team brought by Sean before, all of them have cultivated combat skills and become first-level and second-level warriors. But if they didn't have the help of the Morris family in the early stage, they wouldn't have been able to achieve that kind of strength.
And now Sean's conscription order has given hope to the residents of Beecher Town, who aspire to become warriors.
Twenty places!
The first batch of recruits, the great Lord Sean Knight Lord, is only ready to recruit twenty guard warriors. Beecher Town has a total of two or three hundred households and a population of more than 1,000. Among them, there are about three or four hundred men between the ages of fifteen and twenty-five.
In the afternoon of the same day.
The residence of the affairs officer was crowded with people, most of them came to see the excitement, and only more than 100 people actually participated in the guard assessment. These people all want to join the Knight Guard. Or for the salary, or for the skills.
Most people still have a wait-and-see attitude, and for half a day they also know about the tragic events that happened in the Knight's Territory Manor. After joining the Knight Guard, you have to face life and death, and most people are still afraid of death. I'd rather have an ordinary life.
Sean stood in front of the minister's residence, looking at the crowd in front of him, and his heart was also a little excited.
These are his subjects, and they are gathered here today to join his guard. Although Sean is currently only able to recruit twenty Guards due to financial issues, this is only temporary. When the problem of funding is solved, with the first twenty guard soldiers recruited as the backbone, Sean can directly establish a knight guard team of 100 people.
This can be doubled if recruited at the same time in the western town.
A two-hundred-man knight guard, even if he encounters the previous Zoro Seven, Sean is confident that he will repel them or even stay. After all, in the low-level and middle-level stages, there is no real enemy of 100 people or 1,000 enemies.
Ants bite elephants to death.
Even ninth-level mages and ninth-level warriors are vulnerable in front of the army. Ten thousand arrows were fired at once, and the third-order magic of the ninth-level mage could not be blocked, and the ninth-level warrior burst out with all his fighting energy, and under the army's bed crossbow and trebuchet, it was also a puddle of flesh.
Even if the strength of the individual is strong, in the face of a more powerful army, it is also a chicken.
This is also the reason why Sean does not concentrate on cultivation, but is distracted from developing the territory. Based on the Shawn Knight Leader, Sean also wants to develop a strong army. Perhaps because of the small size of the knights' territory, the number of warriors in this army could not reach the size of the 10,000-strong army of the three kingdoms.
However, Sean believes that there is room for sprouts, and it is not a problem to build a thousand-man army and build it into an elite army. Maybe when he becomes a ninth-level mage, this army of 1,000 people will be able to build successfully.
At that time, the high-end force of the ninth-level mage, coupled with the combat effectiveness of the thousand-man army, Sean can be regarded as truly gaining a foothold on the Ancient Demon Dragon Island.
"The goal is ambitious, but you have to eat it one bite at a time!"
Sean retracted his thoughts and couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw the residents of Beecher Town in front of him who couldn't even lift two hundred pounds of boulders above their heads.
Without systematic training, with only brute strength, it is good to be able to lift a hundred catties of boulders. Because there are not enough conditions, Sean's criteria for evaluating warriors are also very simple, and there are more than a dozen rocks placed in front of the minister's residence. The weight of these rocks ranged from fifty catties to two hundred catties, one rock per ten catties.
Those who come to participate in the assessment, and the top 20 results will be able to join the Knight Guard and become a Knight Guard Soldier.
But so far, only one big man has lifted 120 catties of rocks, and the rest of the people have lifted 100 catties of rocks at most.
"There's a long way to go. ”
Sean also knew that these people were not trained and could not be forced. As long as you have a period of training, you can grow up quickly. At the very least, there is nothing wrong with defending the Knights of Sean. As for the short-term growth, if you want to grow to a high enough height, you need Sean's cheating methods.
Sean already had some ideas in his heart, and the specific plan would have to wait until he went to Zilan City to figure it out.
The assessment lasted for two hours, and finally the twenty fighters recruited by Sean into the guards, the lowest strength was ninety pounds, and the highest was the big man who lifted a hundred and twenty pounds of boulders.
