Chapter 3: Return to the Imperial Capital
"The mercenary union has released the latest procurement task. They sent it to a deacon in the hope that we would be able to take on this task."
Mercenary guild posting tasks is usually posted directly on the mercenary guild bulletin board. This is the first time that such an advanced game has been played like today.
After a quick look at the paperwork in his hand, Lin He immediately understood why these guys from the Mercenary Guild did this.
The quantities and their huge procurement needs, including steel, herbs, armor, ordnance, and all kinds of logistical support supplies, were listed on a whole sheet of parchment. Steel alone requires a scale of thousands of tons, and you must know that the annual trading volume of Fallen Leaf City last year was not so much.
This batch of supplies was supposed to be supplied to the southwestern region. And almost all of the sources of these materials are on the side of the 100,000 mountains. It seems that the guys from the mercenary union are not stupid, knowing that there is no second mercenary group that can do this task except for the Jin Jinhua mercenary group.
handed the task book in his hand to the deputy head of the regiment who was in charge of logistics next to him, and several other deputy regiment commanders also came over as soon as they saw this.
"Leader, big business!"
"Well, it's also a big * trouble!"
Hearing what the head of the regiment said, everyone hurriedly sat back in their seats in a mess, waiting for the head of the regiment to give everyone a little hint. How could such a big deal turn into a big trouble in the blink of an eye?
"First of all, we don't have enough food to trade with the natives. In addition, it is very likely that such a large amount of materials will need to be transported to the southwest, so our manpower will not be busy. Secondly, this time with the official cooperation with the military, how our mercenary group should go in the future is also a problem. ”
After listening to the analysis of their leader, these rough embryos instantly lost interest one by one. I thought this was a happy speculative activity, but after the analysis of the head of the regiment, it was obviously a hot potato.
"Why don't we push this off? Let's just say that Deputy Head Love is getting married, and everyone is busy preparing the bride price and has no time to do anything else! Stave was the first to retreat, and in order to dispel the captain's concerns, this guy even helped the captain think of an excuse.
"You're not afraid that the mercenary union will accept the qualification of our mercenary group to garrison!" Love, who was used as a victim, angrily rejected the proposal to hurt his friend.
In fact, everyone knows that the mercenary union regards the mercenary group as the last straw. At this time, go to the door to push off the task, it is likely that the knife has been sharpened.
Holding his chin to see these bastards talking nonsense, Lin He was also speechless. But when it comes to trouble, I have already made a decision in my heart. It seems that the task still has to be accepted, but it doesn't mean that I can't make some small requests appropriately. As for whether the mercenary union can do it, it's not a headache for me.
If you want to take this hot potato, the materials used to trade are the key!
Lin He knew that the group of poor ghosts and natives in the 100,000 mountains had nothing else, and there were definitely a lot of things they needed, such as steel and herbs.
Take the mountain dwarves as an example, Lin He has never understood why these guys don't make some effort to open up some land to grow food. I know that I take goblins all day long to mine and build blast furnaces to smelt metals, can you make so many metal blocks for food?
"Cohen, on behalf of the mercenary group, you officially replied to the mercenary union, and we took the task. There are some difficulties, and we still need them to help us solve them. ”
Seeing that their regiment commander had made a decision, everyone quickly straightened their waists and sat upright. Originally, we only know how to cut people or be cut by others. Playing and planning is such a brain-consuming technical task, so let's leave it to you, the group leader.
"I don't know what difficulties need to be solved!"
"You can do it yourself, even if we can't supply toilet paper in the thatched house, you can mention it."
"I seem to understand, head of the regiment, you can rest assured!" The professional old yin man Cohen's eyes lit up, and he accepted the task very happily.
"Love, you are responsible for the preparation of supplies, and if there is any difficulty, we will all solve it together!"
"Understood, Captain!"
"Leglas, Rose, the two of you will return to the 100,000 Mountains tomorrow and pass on the types and quantities of the supplies we need to the relevant tribes, so that they can prepare the goods for trading!"
"Understood, Captain!"
"Staff, you also drive out the secret camp of the Grand Canyon of the Lower Sun and organize the manpower to speed up the construction of the camp!"
"Understood, Captain!"
After assigning their respective tasks, Lin He stood up and packed up his notebook, raised his legs and walked out of the conference room. Seeing this, Deputy Head Cohen hurriedly called out to his head leader.
"Well, Commander, what are you responsible for?"
"Oh. I'm going to take a vacation starting tomorrow, and it will take about half a month. That's enough time for you to finish the task at hand. I'll treat you when the time comes, the best Black Queen Bar in Fallen Leaf City! ”
“¥%……&*&……%¥#¥%……&*”
Looking at Gray at the door, who was about to leave with his head of the group, Deputy Head Cohen hurriedly beckoned, and when the latter leaned over with a constipated expression, he was carried into the conference room by several other deputy heads who had been waiting for a long time.
"Boy, are you sure you put the report on Princess Lili Ai in the most conspicuous position?" Among the people who came around, Rose had an expression of death if you messed up, and Gray almost peed his pants when he saw it.
"I'm sure, deputy head of the group, I'm sure he must have seen it."
"What do you think?" Rose looked at his companions around him.
"I should have seen it, or the head of the regiment wouldn't be in a hurry to go to the imperial capital, especially at this time!" Love gave a positive verdict.
"Don't forget, seven days later is also Marshal Lin Tian's memorial day, and it may be that the head of the regiment will go back to worship his father!" Cohen expressed a different view, and half of the people who engaged in intelligence knew more.
"Well, wouldn't the head of the regiment already know that we all know his identity?" Legolas looked at everyone a little humbly.
"I know, anyway, I knew Cohen told me!" Rose unjustifiably cleared up his relationship. also patted the depressed intelligence chief.
"Yes, yes! It's all Cohen told us! The honest Love also hurriedly chimed in.
"You ruffians, didn't you instigate me to investigate the background of the regiment commander in the first place?" Someone who had been betrayed by the organization let out a wail, expressing serious dissatisfaction with the group of scum.
"We didn't expect you to be so capable, and we checked the head of the regiment!" Apparently the guys weren't ready to rescue the poor guy.
"That's right, we all underestimated you at the time, Deputy Head Cohen!" A group of scum happily teased their hapless companions.
"You say, when the head of the regiment returns to the imperial capital, can he see Princess Lili Ai?" Joked aside, Legolas voiced her concerns.
"I think so. We did what we had to do. Love looked out the window at Lin He's room, where the lights were still on, and a vague figure landed on the window in front of everyone.
"That's all gone. Gray, go get your pants changed, they stink! ”
%^&*_&(_#%^
Early the next morning, outside the north gate of Fallen Leaf City.
"I said, isn't this sapphire too valuable?" Looking at the huge sapphire in his hand, Lin He looked at the deputy head of the delegation who saw him off with a little distress.
"Captain, the gift to Princess Lili Ai is not valuable!" The Elder Love tightened the buckle of his saddle. He nodded in satisfaction and took two steps back.
looked up at the sky in the distance, waved his hand to Lin He, and signaled that the head of the regiment could get out. If you leave early, you might be able to get back to sleep.
"In the half month that I'm away, I'll leave it to you!"
"Oh, Captain, you're really inkblot! Go and come back, we're all waiting for you to come back. ”
"Hmm. Thank you, and the newspaper! Lin He looked at Love bitterly and smiled. Ignoring the latter's wide open mouth, he turned his horse's head and rushed in the direction of the distant imperial capital.
Looking at the man and the rider who disappeared at the end of the road, Deputy Commander Love decided to rot the news in his stomach and not tell the group of scum in the city who thought they were smart.
…………
"Old Love, is the head of the regiment gone?" As soon as he entered the door, several deputy regiment commanders who stayed behind surrounded him. Apparently everyone has been waiting here for a long time.
"Sent away!"
"How much did you lose money on that gem?"
"I lost three thousand gold coins!" Love looked at everyone embarrassedly.
"Then, this is my share, make it up for you!" Rose threw over a bag, and it should not be light.
"Here's my share!"
"And mine!"
"Thank you on behalf of the head of the regiment!" Tears welled up in the corners of Love's eyes.
"No thanks, when the head of the regiment comes back, we will collectively ask for a salary increase!"
I hope this little bastard's trip to the imperial capital goes well!
Several deputy heads gathered at the door looked in the direction of the imperial capital together, and wished their beloved head a smooth trip in their hearts.
