Chapter 209: Military Recruitment (I)
The central square of the Savage Fortress.
The huge teleportation array flashed with a faint halo, and a white light suddenly flashed, and an adventurer was teleported.
From his slightly immature face and excited and curious look, it could be seen that this young adventurer had come to the Sacred Realm for the first time, and he was a newcomer to the Secret Realm like Leon half a month ago.
Without the slightest experience, he walked out of the teleportation array and looked around blankly, looking at what was going to go.
Leon, who was passing by, smiled and took the initiative to step forward and ask, "Hey, is it the first time you've come to the Sanctuary?"
The young warrior suddenly seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, and nodded again and again: "Yes, I am the first time here, I am..."
"Let's go to the mercenary guild first!" Leon interrupted his self-introduction and guided him: "You can register as a mercenary in the Holy Realm, this status is very beneficial for future adventures, don't rush into the danger zone first, listen to those old mercenaries first." ”
"Go to the bar in the evening, just a few drinks to get a life-saving experience from their mouths, the bartender is also a good choice, I wish you all the best, I hope to see you again next time!"
With that, Leon patted him on the shoulder and turned to walk towards a towering pagoda not far away.
The teleportation array in the central square is one-way only in and out, if you want to return to the Radiant Continent, you must use the teleportation array of the fortress garrison.
Of course, that costs a lot of money.
Odeniz and the old lion Gucci stood at the entrance to Fatah, who had come to see Leon off.
"Ray, all the loot will take a few days to process, how can I give you your share?" asked the lion captain.
"It's okay to hand it over to Mu Li from the Mercenary Guild," Leon smiled, "She'll be in touch with you." ”
The amount of loot captured by the Divine Blade team this time is large and varied, and it will definitely take time to deal with it, and a lot of magic core equipment also needs to be evaluated, and the really valuable ones have to be brought back to the mainland to be sold.
After getting the Soul Eater Arm, Leon didn't care much about the share he could still get, so he simply left a letter and entrusted it to Mu Li to deal with, and if the gold was enough, then he would directly buy a house in the fortress as a place to stay.
Considering the future, expensive hostels are not a wise choice.
Odeniz nodded and stopped talking, while the old lion Gucci showed an ambiguous look: "Okay, you kid, you hooked a beautiful woman so quickly, Mu Li, this little girl is a flower in the union, I didn't expect to be picked by you!"
Leon touched his nose and smiled without saying a word, and the old lion laughed and gave him a strong hug: "Have a good trip, when are you going to come back?"
"It depends, it shouldn't be too late. Leon said, "Brother Gucci, Captain Odeniz, after I leave, please take care of Murray more." ”
"Don't worry!" the old lion patted his chest and said, "I promise I won't let her be bullied by others!"
Odeniz nodded, and with their promise, the last thing in Leon's heart was put down.
Bidding farewell to the two old mercenaries, Leon stepped into Fata.
After showing his mercenary badge, he paid the teleportation fee to the priest who presided over the circle, and returned to the Thrall Territory through the spatial coordinate crystal positioning.
The process of teleportation was no different from when he came, and in the blink of an eye, Leon was back in the underground space of the Sal Lord's Mansion.
"Your Excellency, you're back!"
When he opened his eyes, the first thing that caught Leon's eye was the familiar face of the mage Akram.
......... Leon's return was uneventful and did not cause any disturbances in the territory.
On the one hand, Sal Ling is currently on the regular stage, and all aspects of affairs are presided over by special personnel, and the temporary departure of the lord will not cause problems, in fact, everyone is also used to his absence.
Half a month was a short time, and everything was normal in the territory, except for a kingdom order from the royal capital and transferred from Tormund.
The royal family of Beamon and the garrison of the kingdom have issued a call for war to Salling!
This conscription was not issued specifically for the Salling, who was not yet eligible for the Kingdom's special attention as a minor leader in a remote part of the province.
This order affected hundreds of dominions in the three provinces of Southwest, Frontier, and Mohai, with the goal of conscripting more than 100,000 troops to fight against the barbarians in the northern part of the kingdom.
The barbarians located in the northern icy region have always been a headache for the Beamon Kingdom.
Although the kingdom occupies the northern territory of the continent, in the remote areas of the north and in the vast arctic ice fields, a large number of barbarian tribes from time to time raid the kingdom's provinces, posing a serious threat to the extreme north and the Shengyao province where the royal capital is located.
In fact, in terms of the strength of the two sides, there is no knight and the barbarian of the legal class and the Beamon beast clan is far apart, but the barbarians, as the servant clan of the human race, have the support of the two empires of the human race.
The Terrans sent food and weapons to the barbarians by sea, and even sent large numbers of mercenaries to join the war, making the kingdom of Bimon unsuccessful in its efforts to eradicate this scourge for hundreds of years.
And in recent times, the barbarians of the Northland have made frequent moves, and the neighboring Farea Empire in the south of the kingdom has also shown signs of being ready to move.
In order to suppress the expansion of the situation and teach the barbarians a profound lesson, the kingdom issued a conscription order for the three major provinces.
As a local nobleman with a domain, it was also Leon's duty to accept the kingdom's war call, and unless he chose to give up his title and domain, there was no room for refusal.
Of course, this kind of recruitment is at most once a year, and the kingdom will also give corresponding compensation according to the performance of the territory, which is the best way to promote the title.
According to the request conveyed by Tomund, Sal must send more than two hundred warriors and no less than two warriors into the war, and provide these warriors and warriors with sufficient food and complete equipment.
Such a requirement is not low, and if it falls on a barren Dominion, it is enough to ruin the lord's family, but for the Thrall Lord, who has thousands of warriors, it is not a problem.
"The question is, in what way do we enter this war?"
In the council chamber of the Lord's Palace, Concordia, the deputy head of the Thunder Beast Warband, said, "If it is just to satisfy the orders of the kingdom, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to get enough benefits from it. ”
When it comes to the affairs of the kingdom, Concordia, who was once a knight of the family, clearly has more say: "We don't have much time left to prepare. ”
Faced with the kingdom's conscription order, Leon, as the lord of the Dominion, had two choices, one was to meet the kingdom's requirements and send three hundred warriors and two samurai, and his obligation would be completed.
As for the deployment and use of these warriors and warriors, it had nothing to do with Sal until the end of the war.
The second option is that Leon himself personally leads the army to join the Kingdom Expeditionary Force, then he has control over his subordinates, and he will get the merits and spoils of war in the war, which no one else can take.
Compared to the former, the second option is highly dangerous, but it also represents the greatest interest.
And which one to choose depends entirely on Leon's choice.
"Our warriors must not become cannon fodder for others!" Leon said without hesitation: "I will personally lead five hundred warriors of the Thunderbeast War Group to participate in this expedition against the barbarians, Rock Hammer, Ironhide and Subaru will go with the group, Concordia you and Akram will stay in the territory, and you must be careful to guard against the southern elves." ”
Leon's decision did not surprise everyone at all, but Rose seemed to want to say something, but she endured it stubbornly.
As soon as Leon's order arrived, Sal Ling immediately began to mobilize, and since the Thunder Beast Warband was always in a state of combat readiness, it was very easy to form an expeditionary force at one time.
In order to ensure the supply of the team, Leon used 400 elite soldiers as the main force, and 100 soldiers served as baggage soldiers to escort supplies.
At the same time, he also took out twenty domesticated beast horses at a time to form a heavy cavalry team, raising soldiers for a thousand years, and now is the time to take them out in exchange for war exploits.
In just one day, Salling was ready, and five hundred warriors were ready to go to Tormond at any time.
However, the careful Leon was not in a hurry to leave, anyway, there was still a time limit, and he ordered a batch of warm clothes and medicine for the expeditionary force to cope with the harsh climate in the north.
Although it is said that when the expeditionary force is fully assembled and reaches the north, the war will at least be launched in the spring, but the climate in the north is completely different from that in the middle of the continent, and if we do not make adequate preparations, the problem of non-combat attrition will be a big problem.
Although the kingdom will inevitably be prepared accordingly, Leon is not accustomed to pinning his hopes on others.
After a busy day, Leon returned to his place late in the day, only to find Rose waiting for him in his room for a long time.
"I'm going with you too!"
She made a straightforward request, looking up at Leon with a stubborn gaze.
"This war is not a battle with goblins, and it's not for you. Leon shook his head and said, "Obedient..."
He suddenly found that during this period of time, he was a little negligent about the girl who was silently following him, looking at her slightly thin little face, a trace of pity suddenly swelled in his heart, and he couldn't help but stretch out his big hand to take her into his arms.
Rose did not resist Leon's intimacy, she still raised her head: "No, I'm going!"
Leon smiled, still shaking his head.
Rose bit her lip vigorously and suddenly stood on tiptoe to kiss Leon.
But before he could enjoy the gentle taste, a sharp pain came from his lips.
"I hate you!"
The girl ran out of the room without looking back.
