Chapter 130: The City Guards (I)
The Golden City is a bustling city on this day, with countless citizens and adventurers, as well as merchants from north to south, gathering to stand on both sides of the streets to greet the arrival of their most mysterious lord.
There is so much confusion and pride in the people of the Golden City about this lord. Legend has it that the lord of Edithgu was a white-haired demon who was immensely powerful and large. There is also a legend that the lord of Edithgu was a handsome man, and he was a peerless handsome man.
However, legends are legends, and legends are far less convincing than they actually are. Today, these legends will be shattered by reality.
Chen Le spent 1,000 gold coins to make a white suit embroidered with gold thread for a tailor who specialized in serving the nobles, and at the same time, he also spent nearly 10,000 gold coins to get a pure white wind horse that was necessary for the handsome and rich.
(The Wind Horse is a Level 3 Magical Beast with a docile personality and a talent for acceleration, making him an ideal mount for the human nobility.) However, because the Tempest is not easy to catch, the Tempest is often sold in the market. )
Chen Le led the infantry into the Golden City with their heads held high, and Bode and a group of soldiers from the Golden City at the gate of the city collectively performed the most noble etiquette towards Chen Le.
The citizens cheered for Chen Le's arrival, especially the girls in the boudoir, who shouted loudly, hoping to get Chen Le's attention. Chen Le also saw them, and he responded to the crazy girls with his own smile.
When Chen Le approached the luxurious gate of the Golden City, Bode stood up and said respectfully, "Lord Lord! Lord Leo is waiting for you in the barracks. Can you go over now?"
Chen Le nodded and said, "Okay!
Bode turned around and shouted, "Soldiers, open the way! Target, barracks!"
Soldiers armed with spears pushed away the crowd in front, while Chen Le and Bode followed the path.
The enthusiasm of the citizens was high, they shouted for the lord, and some of them shouted for the dragon knight.
When he came to the gate of the barracks, Chen Le felt a sense of murder, and Chen Le understood on the spot that the soldiers of the barracks in this Golden City had definitely experienced the baptism of war.
After Chen Le approached the barracks, he found that the soldiers in the barracks had already stood in a phalanx, and their heads looked at Chen Le and his party at the gate of the barracks in unison, and Chen Le also felt the cold like falling into an ice cellar at this time.
Chen Le understood that this was given by the murderous aura of these soldiers, although it made him a little ugly, but he didn't blame it at all, on the contrary, he was still happy.
Bode continued on their way, and they came to a high platform in the middle of the barracks, where Leo stood, dressed in silver armor.
When Chen Le stepped up to the high platform, Leo suddenly shouted, "Young men, let's welcome the arrival of the lord!"
"Roar, roar, roar!" A voice like thunder sounded, and Chen Le could clearly feel the earth trembling.
Chen Le said loudly: "Thank you for your support! Now please be quiet! I have something to say!"
The soldiers were well trained, and this order was quickly executed flawlessly.
Chen Le looked at the soldiers' performance with satisfaction and said happily: "I'm glad that our Edithgu soldiers are so well-trained, so that I can rest assured that I can give you a mission." ”
Chen Le paused and then said, "Eighteen days ago, His Majesty gave all our lords a mission, asking us to lead our troops to the north to support His Majesty in the fight against the orcs. And the purpose of my coming here this time is to select truly elite soldiers!"
The soldiers listened motionlessly, but Chen Le found that there was no ** in their eyes, as if this order was just no different from Fuyun to them.
Chen Le felt that this was not possible at all, and he temporarily decided: "For this kind of unpredictable task, I have personally decided that anyone who can go north with us, I will give them a reward of no less than three hundred gold coins!"
The soldiers in the audience were frightened on the spot, what is the probability of two hundred gold coins, their current monthly salary is no more than thirty silver coins, these three hundred gold coins are their salary for one thousand months, and at the same time, these three hundred gold coins are enough to make them spend the lower half of their bodies happily, if they save a little, these three hundred gold coins can also be kept for the next generation.
There was chaos in the audience.
"Lord Lord, choose me, I am a fourth-level warrior with five years of military experience. ”
"My lord, choose me, I won the first place in the shooting competition in the army!"
"My lord!
"Your Lord!"
Chen Le smiled when he saw the fiery eyes of the soldiers, this is what he wanted, and he said loudly: "However, these three hundred gold coins are not so easy to take. Leo, tell me how many soldiers we have in the Golden City?"
Leo took a step forward and said, "We have a total of 80,000 soldiers in the Golden City!
Chen Le said loudly: "Okay! My plan is to recruit only 25,000 soldiers!"
The field was quiet on the spot, the silence was a little terrifying, and Chen Le also found that the soldiers in the audience were even hostile to each other, as if they regarded each other's phalanx as enemies.
Chen Le was relieved when he saw this scene, he had been worried about a problem since he entered this barracks.
Every army has some problems to a greater or lesser extent, and these problems are deeply hidden. Especially after Chen Le saw that the performance of these soldiers was so perfect, Chen Le was even more worried about the seriousness of the problem, but when Chen Le saw that they were just internal discord, he was happy.
Internal discord with him has a way to solve it.
Chen Le said loudly to the soldiers below: "In order to embody the principle of fairness. Each phalanx sends a hundred soldiers to compete in the tournament, and the winning phalanx will move on to the next match. ”
"Yes!"
Chen Le smiled wickedly and said, "That's right! This time, the contest I asked for was not allowed to use any lethal weapons. All are allowed to take wooden sticks only. In addition, it is necessary to wear armor during the tournament. ”
"Yes!"
Chen Le said loudly again: "Finally, the time is set for an hour after dinner tonight. It's seven o'clock! I hope you can prepare well, and dismiss now!"
"Yes!"
The soldiers quickly dispersed, their brows furrowed, as if they were feeling an infinite amount of pressure.
Leo walked up to Chen Le's side and said, "Master, I'm curious, why do you choose soldiers like this. I feel like this will deepen the conflict between them. ”
Chen Le said with a smile: "It's just to deepen their contradictions, I'll sell a pass first, and then you'll understand why I'm doing this." ”
Leo nodded and said, "Okay master, where do we put those other soldiers of yours?"
Chen Le squinted his eyes and said, "Is there any land here?"
Leo nodded and said, "Yes, of course, the configuration here is for 100,000 people." ”
Chen Lezhi smiled and said, "Just put them here, and remember to make them better at night." I'm of great use!"
Leo nodded, he seemed to have some eyebrows to know what Chen Le was going to do.
Then Leo asked again, "So master, are you going to eat now?"
Chen Le also felt that his stomach was protesting, he nodded and said, "Let's go! Take me to the best hotel in Golden City, I want to eat enough." Eating barbecue every day these days, I'm almost throwing up. ”
Leo patted his chest and said, "I promise you'll be satisfied!"
