After a day's rest, Russell's body and mind gradually recovered from the devastation of the war. He pushed open the window, looked at the sunny sky and the bustling crowd, and exclaimed, "Ha! This is normal life!"

Russell himself did not regret the refusal of the Viscount's recruitment the day before, the Viscount seemed to be honest but concealed it from himself, he really couldn't treat him sincerely, he was a young man who loved freedom, and he couldn't forget the root because of some benefits, his father was just a little baron, but he was treated like this, and many forces were involved, and the water in it was really deep.

Then. After the group had breakfast, the Viscount did not come to send Russell on the grounds of many things, but only asked the butler to send the three thousand dinars he promised when Russell was about to leave the castle. Russell smiled self-deprecatingly, he didn't plan to get credit anyway.

When Russell participated in the war a few days ago, he realized that his strength was still very weak, and in the process of traveling, he would inevitably have to fight with various forces, so it was necessary to recruit some troops of his own.

This time, there were no panicked heralds on the road, and calm was restored in the city, "You finally came out of the castle" A disgruntled crisp female voice came from behind them, and Russell turned his head to see that it was the long-disappeared cuckoo, and for some reason, she was particularly resistant to the official people of the Empire.

"Join the team, Miss Cuckoo, and we'll be off in a moment. Russell greeted her. "Good!"

Later, the group walked to the square, and Russell conveyed to the consul his idea of wanting to recruit troops. Not long after, a recruitment notice was posted on the notice standing in the square, and a loud bailiff shouted: "Recruitment, recruitment, Lord Russell is recruiting guards!

Suddenly, the square was full of people, and some people who participated in the Acropolis saw Russell standing on the high platform, and shouted: "Isn't this the hero who killed the boss of the rogue last time?"

"Really, really, where is it?"

"Don't squeeze don't squeeze!" a group of people suddenly huddled together, rubbing shoulders one after another, so lively.

Russell was very grateful to the consul and his men for their dedication, and still helped him pick out a hundred or so people in this chaotic situation, Russell estimated his future expenses, and said to those people: "I will only recruit twenty soldiers, if you bring your own armor and weapons, you can give priority!"

This option brushed off half of the people at once, and Russell tested their physical fitness and other aspects, and finally, selected twenty able-bodied men, and now there are not many soldiers, Russell saw that Carter made them captain.

Russell thought that he didn't have a weapon in his hand now, so he went to the weapon dealer and bought a high-quality long sword, Carter was very stubborn, and refused to replace his precious knight's sword, Russell saw this, so he had to ask the blacksmith to maintain Carter's sword.

To Russell's surprise, in addition to buying a short sword for self-defense, Bauer actually chose a bow and crossbow, thinking of the previous battle, Bauer does have his own talent for shooting.

After spending a lot, Russell looked at the money bag that had been deflated, and smiled helplessly, the money is really not enough to spend, and the bounty he desperately exchanged for is estimated to be lost in a few battles, right?

Now is different from the past, the down-and-out Russell washed the former downfall, turned into a small powerful private army, Russell rode gray ashes, smiling, embarked on the first step to the imperial capital.
