Back in the room, Xu Xun closed the door and hurriedly asked Peng Mudao, "What's the good news?"

Peng Mu smiled, "We've already found out how we can get to Fort Wick. ”

"Hurry up!" Chenguang was impatient.

Peng Mu said: "We went out today, and we happened to meet Belen's soldiers in the city, how could we have the heart to look at this, and we were about to leave, but Niu Er heard someone reading it, saying that it was the edict of Belém Hesai the Great, Belén was already a moment of life and death, and he called on the people of Belém to mobilize and contribute to the defense of their country. Those from wealthy families can contribute funds, young and powerful people can join the army, those who have studied medicine are even more welcome, and even the old and weak women and children can join the logistics team to transport supplies for the soldiers on the front line, all of which contribute to their own country. ”

Xu Xun was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "I see, we can also sign up for it, and then we can enter Fort Wick justifiably?"

"That's exactly what it is. However, there are still some problems. ”

"What's the problem?" asked Morning Light.

"One is that we don't know much about Nanchanaburi, if we join the army, I am afraid that we will show flaws; second, I don't know how long it will take to go after joining the army, if we are allowed to train in the rear for a year and a half, then I am afraid it will be ......" Peng Mu said here, and stopped. But they all understood what he meant, and fell silent.

However, Xin Zhu said: "What's so difficult about this, we are going to join the army, but we don't have to be recruits." ”

"What do you mean?" the crowd was puzzled.

"I mean, we don't have to sign up to be recruits, we just need to find a team of real soldiers, rob them of their names, and then we can rush to Fort Wick immediately?"

Chenguang slapped his thigh and said, "That's right! This is really a good way! What are we still doing here, hurry up and find it!"

Xu Xun said: "This is indeed a good method, but we can't hurt people's lives, we just need to rob the name, equipment and the like." But if these people are robbed by us, they run to ventilate and report the news, I'm afraid that something will be wrong. ”

Guo Xinzhu said: "What's this, the soldier lost his ordnance, which is a felony in itself, and then let's let Niu Er understand them again, just say that in the war, their useless soldiers will be sent to death, it is better to give us the opportunity, we will definitely be able to help them defend Fort Wick or something, maybe they will be grateful to us." ”

Niu Er patted his chest and said: "What Xinzhu said is very true, I will definitely move it with affection, know it with reason, in short, make him willing to give his name with both hands, and admire and worship us as a god." ”

As soon as everyone agreed, they immediately went into action, but after a day of walking around the city of Ludoco on this street, they did not find the person they needed.

In the evening, everyone silently returned to the inn, looked at each other, and then immediately bowed their heads and sighed.

It turned out that at this life-and-death moment, Belen had already concentrated most of the country's troops in Fort Wick, leaving only nearly 10,000 troops in the capital and the border with the Fraisi Kingdom in the southwest.

As for other places, to the north is the Devil's Strait, which does not need to be defended at all, to the east are the two allies of Belém, and the two countries are sending troops to reinforce Belém, and there is no need to fortify, and to the southeast is the Duchy of Saxony in Middle-earth, although Jacktu did not send reinforcements from Middle-earth to help Belém, but the two countries have not been in conflict, so the border city-states like Ludoko, in order to show their friendship with Saxony, actually do not have much army to defend. However, if you advance further into Belém, the next city-state will have thousands of troops to garrison.

Therefore, everyone walked around the city for a long time, and they didn't see the shadow of the army at all, only the three soldiers who came to Zhang Bang, looking at their appearance, it was obvious that they would stay here for a long time and would not leave for the time being.

Just when everyone was at a loss, someone suddenly knocked on the door. Everyone immediately stopped breathing, several people looked at each other, Guo Xinzhu glanced at Niu Er, Niu Er twisted and opened the door, outside the door, was a fat middle-aged man, with a cane in his hand, as soon as the door opened, he bent over with a smile on his face.

Everyone didn't understand what he was going to do, but the man began to introduce himself. It turned out that his name was Bird, and he was the head of the Antchanaburi mercenary union in Ludoco City. Just this morning, a big boss came to the union, saying that he wanted to hire some strange people to go to Fort Wick to help Belen. Bird was originally ready to politely decline the business at that time, because it was during the war, and it was difficult to find such a person for a while, and second, everyone knew that Wickburg was basically more than lucky, and who would want to send him to death.

However, the employer said that money can make the devil grind, and as long as the commission is high, there will still be people willing to do this errand. Employers are willing to pay 10 times the usual price and hire about a dozen people. The boss couldn't resist the temptation when he saw such a large amount of income, so he explained to the employer that he could only try his best, and if he really couldn't find anyone, there was no way.

So Bird began to look around, but he happened to hear that there was a group of people in the inn, so he came to inquire to see if they were interested in taking on the task.

This time it made everyone very happy, of course, they agreed again and again. Seeing that these people who were about to die were still so happy, Bird couldn't help but wonder, he said that the mercenary union is the largest union in the entire state of Nanchanaburi, and it has always had an excellent reputation, so according to the custom, he wants to see what kind of superb skills everyone has, of course, this is definitely just a routine.

The crowd was happy, and of course he wouldn't be disappointed. Chenguang took him around the second floor of the hotel, and immediately convinced him, he trembled and swished and continued to praise everyone for being really a god, with everyone's help, Belen can definitely keep Wick Fort Yunyun, while taking out a small notebook, began to record everyone's information.

When he finally remembered refuge and Yuta, he seemed to be a little reluctant to say anything, but he still wrote it down. In the end, he calculated the commission fee from the crowd. Usually, the mercenary union takes on a task, basically charging the employer at the price of three gold coins a day for a mercenary, and the mercenary union charges one gold coin, and the mercenary can get two gold coins.

This time, the mission employer is limited to one month, and the price is ten times that of the usual task, that is, each person can get 20 gold coins per day, which is 600 gold coins a month, plus the mercenary union gets, the employer will spend nearly a thousand gold coins.

By the way, the continents of South and North Bizhou are settled in gold and silver, one gold coin is equal to ten silver coins, and one silver coin can buy a whole piece of black bread or a large glass of nîme. Brown bread is the basic food of the southern and northern Bizhou continents, and a whole piece is enough for one person to eat for a day. And nîme is the best-selling drink in these two continents, but Chenguang and others are not used to drinking this kind of wine at all, not only the taste is extremely light, but also the taste is sour and astringent, which is difficult to swallow.

In other words, one gold coin can basically meet the needs of a family's food and daily life for a day. The mercenaries were only able to pay for two days a day. This is due to the fact that most of the mercenaries have special identities, either they are aliens of other races, or they are involved in important cases, in short, they are people who have an extremely difficult life.

The Mercenary Guild can be said to be the lowest paid of all the guilds in the Tamaburi continent. On the other hand, the Knights' Guild and the Wizards' Guild are much more noble, and the members of these two guilds have a recognized noble status, and their remuneration is basically tens or even hundreds of gold coins per day. The Thieves' Guild is special, everyone knows it exists, but they never admit it themselves. It is said that all the members of this union are only allowed to join after a special examination, and they will never accept ordinary tasks. Almost all of them are wealthy businessmen and aristocrats, and they never disappoint their employers. The price they charge is naturally ridiculously high, it is said that the fee is charged according to the object of the attack, the ordinary treasure hunting and the like are the lowest, and the various princes and nobles are paid higher, and the most expensive should be the royal family of each country, legend has it that not long ago, the Hesai Emperor of Belém invited the thieves to steal the secret of the Mitarion Heavenly Boat at the cost of millions of gold coins, and at this moment the Hesai Great is using this information at Wick Fort to deploy a secret weapon that can fight against the Heavenly Boat.

Of course, the most profitable of all the unions is the merchants' union.

The employer they met this time obviously gave a good salary, which was basically worth the cost of hiring knights and magicians.

But obviously Xinzhu didn't think so, after listening to Bird's mouthful introduction, she asked Niu Er to tell Bird that if you want to hire your own people, you must add commissions, and the mercenary union can get double the commission of the usual tasks, that is to say, the mercenary union can take away two gold coins a day from its own people, which is 660 gold coins a month, but this is much less than the 3300 gold coins that Bird should get.

Bird was obviously very unhappy with this proposal, and for a moment, everyone had already seen an angry expression on his face, but Bird immediately suppressed this emotion, and he bowed to the situation and said, "This lady, as you wish, our Ludoco Mercenary Guild will take 660 gold coins from your commission as an introduction fee. However, this fee will be deducted from the employer's prepaid commission at once, I wonder what you think?"

Xinzhu didn't expect him to agree so quickly, so he didn't know what to say. Bird immediately pulled out a sheepskin scroll from his bosom and began to write the Entente on it.

After a while, Bird handed the agreement to Kuang Xinzhu and asked everyone to sign the agreement in turn, and those who could not write should press their fingerprints. As a result, an agreement with only Niu Er's signature and ten fingerprints was established.

Bird took the scroll and signed it himself, then pulled out two black cloth bags from his bosom. Everyone looked at the shape of the bag and guessed that it was a money bag, but it didn't seem to be enough.

Bird opened one of the bags, counted 660 gold coins inside, and handed the bag to Niu Er. It turned out that this was the 2,000 gold coins advanced by the employer, and Bird took his share, and told everyone that the employer had gone to Fort Wick one step ahead of time, and everyone took the mercenary's scroll and passed the checkpoints along the road to Fort Wick. After arriving at Fort Wick, the group went to Fort Wick's Mare Inn and asked the employer named Kakaku to collect the rest of the commission. With that, Bird bowed to the crowd again, and turned to leave.

Niu Er took two bags of gold coins, and was about to put them in his arms, but was snatched by Guo Xinzhu, Niu Er was about to argue, but was glared at by Guo Xinzhu viciously, and stared back on the bed.

Guo Xinzhu smiled and said to everyone: "Everyone will have a good rest today, and let's go to Fort Wick tomorrow." ”

Refuge looked at the heavy money bag in her hand, swallowed her saliva, rubbed her hands, and said, "Don't say anything else, let's divide the money first." ”

On the streets of Ludoko at noon, the screams of the converts woke up all the citizens of Ludoko who were taking a nap from their sleep, and a drunk man didn't even have time to put on his clothes, so he ran into the street, shouting as he ran: "Who the fuck lied to me yesterday that Mitarion hadn't arrived at Fort Wick yet, he fucking killed Ludoko!"

In the blue sky and white clouds, the sun is also smiling brightly.
