The men of the town of Senes are armed and can form a force of several thousand men, and the combat effectiveness is comparable to that of the same number of light cavalry, provided that they can follow orders.

It can be difficult to choose someone who is reliable and usable from among them. And the captain of the squad left behind by Sparker is obviously good at this. Some people who pretended to be Sven, under his interrogation in a few words, said that they had missed the murder committed three years ago.

"There aren't a lot of good people here. When Feng Luo humbly asked, the team leader replied, "As long as you speculate on them with the worst malice, you will naturally be able to see it." For example, the person with particularly thick hands may have strangled dozens of people. ”

Yes, it doesn't matter whether people are smart or not, it all depends on the perspective of looking at people. Depending on the starting point, the result of speculation will be different.

Although the team leader was very picky, it only took more than half an hour to select five people. His eyes are vicious, and the people he selected, Feng Luo knows by looking at their expressions that they have different temperaments, but their eyes are full of perseverance.

The mind is not firm and will run away in dangerous situations. In the current situation, Feng Luo does not need such a person to drag his feet.

The three of them were free and promised to serve Fengluo for a year, and they did not include mortal missions. The two were slaves, and Feng Luo bought them, which was equivalent to saving them.

After paying the money, the two slaves were taken to perform the "baptism". For their absolute loyalty, Davao is also baptized. Feng Luo was very disgusted and wanted to avoid this process.

"You need people who are absolutely obedient to perform dangerous tasks for you, including death. The team leader explained with a blank face.

Feng Luo kept silent, he was weak, and if he wanted to gain a foothold in a new country, he would definitely not be able to rely on one person. And strangers are unreliable, and at the moment it seems, can only rely on absolutely loyal slaves.

The asking price for the three freelancers is very low, and in addition to having a full meal, they only ask for five crystals per month. After a year of leaving, they hope to get another thirty crystals. Comparatively speaking, a slave costs 300 crystals, which is a bit expensive.

"It's already cheap, the owner and I know each other, so I give a friendly price. Captain Sting said, "Ordinary infantry have a salary of 400 crystals a year, and slaves have less than a year's income." ”

"It's hard to say whether they will survive a year. Feng Luo sighed as he looked at the two slaves who were being sent back. I don't know if he feels sorry for the money, or for the fate of the two people.

After another round in the town of Bisenes, Feng Luo bought ten horses. These horses are obviously not good, but there is no way, good horses have long been bought by the kingdom as preparation materials. The horses left behind are either old or emaciated.

After three hours, I finally returned. Feng Luo ordered the two slaves to mount, but they hesitated and did not move.

"You are not my slaves, but soldiers, my comrades-in-arms! My comrades-in-arms will fight side by side with me and enjoy the fruits of victory together!" Feng Luo looked at the three freelancers intentionally as he spoke.

The two slaves obviously couldn't accept the change of status, and only after Sting's repeated urging did they slowly get on their horses.

Although Sting talked a lot to Feng Luo along the way, he did not remind him to subdue his subordinates. Feng Luo's approach is tantamount to giving up the majesty of the high, which is not allowed by the troop leader. However, there was a bright light in the eyes of the five people, and Sting did not know whether it was good or bad.

"When I get back, thank Captain Spark, who was able to pay for me, otherwise I might not have been able to hire these elites. Feng Luo thanked Sting.

Stin grinned and said embarrassedly: "The money paid was lent to you by the regimental commander." He said he would keep the accounts, wait for your territory to get on the right track, and slowly ask you for money. ”

Feng Luo almost fell off his horse, and couldn't help but say "miser" from his mouth.

Stin didn't want his boss to suffer a bad reputation, and defended: "The head of the regiment is from a humble background, and there is no family support behind him, everything he has is slowly accumulated, and the family does not have much. ”

"So, find me to fight for him for free?" Feng Luo rolled his eyes, the camel that died was bigger than a horse, and it had a territory of three hundred miles, how could it be that he lacked this money?

"Hehe, the head of the regiment said that it is not interest, it will be repaid slowly, and it will be fully supported in terms of materials, and it is also interest-free. Sting's face was smiling, but the more he looked at it, the more treacherous he became.

Feng Luo snorted, indicating that he understood. Although there is an element of war, Spark's support is definitely very sincere.

"Captain Sting, you shouldn't be just the squad leader, right?" Feng Luo turned his horse's head, took two steps, and suddenly said something.

Squad Leader's face changed, and he didn't know how to answer.

"I don't mean anything, I just want to know exactly what Captain Sparker really thinks, so that I can plan for the future sooner. Feng Luo's tone was calm.

Taking a deep breath, Sting slapped his horse to catch up, approached Feng Luo, and lowered his voice: "The regiment commander lacks a foundation, is suspicious, cannot be promoted to the title, and has no way to hire more private soldiers. If you want to protect your territory, you must find allies. ”

Foundation, Feng Luo has heard this word several times. He nodded, motioning for the other to continue.

"Even though the Haori Kingdom is very strong, the king did not agree to the request of the regimental commander to increase the number of soldiers and horses. In the eyes of the nobles, the regimental commander is used to send him to death! If you are made a baron, you can master up to 500 soldiers and horses, which can relieve the defensive pressure of the regimental commander. Sting said.

It turns out that the key is here, Feng Luo guessed that it was roughly the case before, but he didn't expect it to be such a reason. If he had five hundred soldiers, echoing the Fifth Heavy Cavalry Regiment, he could indeed relieve the pressure from the Haori Kingdom.

Moreover, with the increase in the title, the number of troops at the disposal of peacetime will increase several times. The viscount could have three thousand private soldiers, while the count reached fifteen thousand. Spark's title was that of an earl, but he mastered the heavy cavalry, so his number was limited to two thousand.

Of course, most of the Davao countries' regulations on the number of troops will be limited. The baron's domain is only ten miles, and it is almost the same to feed one or two hundred soldiers, and five hundred, unless all the people in the domain are driven away.

People from large families do not have these concerns. If you can't afford to raise your own land, your family can help. The strength of the individual has grown, and the family has become stronger.

"Actually, the regiment commander didn't mean to let you be cannon fodder at all. He hopes that you will be able to step up step by step in the future and become allies with you, not only on the battlefield, but also in the court, taking care of each other. Stin said sincerely.

The truth sometimes sounds cruel, but for smart people, it is more acceptable. Take advantage of each other and benefit together, what can't be said?

"You tell the regimental commander that even if there are only five soldiers, I will provide a great help. Moreover, I will live, stand on an equal footing with him, and continue to be friends!"
