Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Captive
Sean's cold and unforgiving words rang in everyone's ears.
In an instant, the atmosphere froze.
Seeing that they didn't react for a long time, Sean became slightly annoyed.
"What are you still hesitating about?! You guys, come over to me! ”
In the direction he pointed stood several other apprentice-level professionals, as well as the other party's upper officers, and as long as they controlled these people, those low-level soldiers would naturally give up resistance.
The order of the probationary level was still very intimidating, and although they were a little reluctant, they finally walked in front of Sean with their heads down.
"Tell you, it's your luck to meet me, now join the Silver Eagle Legion, you can all enjoy the same military rewards as other soldiers, otherwise just wait for the upcoming encirclement and suppression!"
After ordering the others to keep these guys under strict guard, Sean turned to the group of ordinary soldiers and said.
The soldiers gathered here made up the vast majority of the total, and as long as these guys could be co-opted, the few people who were still hidden in the mountains would not be afraid.
Immediately afterward, Sean showed all the benefits of joining the Silver Eagle Legion in front of these ordinary people, and his seductive description made the hearts of these soldiers move, and with the clanging sound of weapons falling to the ground, Sean and the others officially captured these soldiers.
Of course, he didn't say anything about the disadvantages, although this group of guys was temporarily intimidated by Sean, if they really resisted, they would not be able to bear it with just two hundred heavy armored cavalry and a few professionals on his side.
Besides, even if he can really eliminate them, Sean himself can't bear it.
These excellent cannon fodder can play a great role in the future siege of the city, greatly reducing their own casualties, as long as everything goes well, they are all living military feats in Sien's opinion, if they are killed, it is very stupid to cut off their own financial route.
After the first step is successful, the next thing will be much simpler.
First of all, it is necessary to control officers at all levels, and then to carry out some changes in their positions, followed by opening up a small number of ways to rise, setting up exemplary examples, and using some means to promote internal division......
These things were organized by the members of Sean's team and the middle-level officers on Sean's side, and for him, it was enough to ensure that his strength could suppress these guys, which was the truth of this world.
Now Sean doesn't care about that, but the spoils of this operation.
After ordering a professional he had captured to lead the way, he went straight to Alban's base camp in the mountains.
The few remaining soldiers quickly surrendered to his strength, and although a few tried to escape or resist, these obstacles disappeared as Sean pointed casually with his staff.
"Alban, this guy is really hiding a lot of good things."
After scrubbing around the area, Sean let out a sound of admiration.
Food, weapons, potions......
All kinds of strategic materials are available here, although they are of little use to Sean personally, but as long as they are handed in, it is a lot of military merit.
On top of that, he found a bunch of tiny blood-red gemstones, and after taking out one and comparing it with the edge of the Blade of Trust grip, and using it several times in a row, Sean finally smiled.
The purpose of these gems is simple, it is to charge the magic dagger of the Blade of Trust, and replace the injected mana to release the "final throw", each gem here is equivalent to one volt, adding up to a total of fifty.
Alban had promised him all of this before the negotiations, but like the other treasures, they would have to wait until the contract had been signed before they were delivered, much to Sean's covetousness, but he was helpless.
Now that Sean finally got these charging materials, he was in a very happy mood, and after rummaging around, Sean planned to go back and send someone to empty all the harvest here.
The rest of the matter didn't have much to do with Sean, who began to quietly wait for the arrival of friendly forces after directing the others to carry a large amount of supplies to Millin Town little by little.
……
……
As the sun set in the west, Sean sat in the living room of Villa Alban, studying his staff intently.
After reaching the apprentice level, the strength of this staff is a little weak, and Sean intends to strengthen it as soon as possible so that it can match his strength.
However, his current alchemy level and conditions are still far from the level he wants, and most importantly, there are some materials that he has not yet collected, so he hopes to wait until the end of the war to upgrade the staff.
But then again, since he is now at the apprenticeship level, the military merits that can be obtained in the war will naturally increase significantly, presumably until the day the war ends, as long as he is alive, the harvest is definitely beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
It is impossible for a strong person above the official level to lose his credibility for this petty profit, so Sean is still very relieved about this, and as a mage of the alchemy system, no one will blame him even if he does not go to the front line.
……
Seeing that it was almost time to eat, Sean walked out of the villa to get something to eat.
However, a message from his subordinates made him temporarily dismiss the idea of enjoying food.
Reinforcements are coming.
Walking quickly to the entrance of the town, Sean looked at the plains in the distance, and although the sun was about to set and the light was not so abundant, with the eyes of his apprentice-level professional, he could still see the flags of the army heading towards this side.
A silver eagle spreads its wings in the center of the flag, surrounded by black and gold patterns, this is the flag of the Silver Eagle Legion, and in terms of size, it is also one of the main forces.
The entire crew of the Thirteenth Detachment stood in the rear of Sean, waiting for the arrival of these troops.
They are not without conflicts of interest, these guys come all the way, and if they are not handled well, it is easy to cause some disputes.
However, as the minutes passed and the army marched little by little, the faces of Sean and Bilaire first became extremely surprised, and then quickly turned into obvious joy.
This is because the general who led the team is no stranger to them, and it is Biller's cousin, the deputy commander of the Silver Eagle Legion who helped Sean become the captain of the detachment - Nolan Bess.
The Silver Eagle Banner fluttered in the sky, and as a midship-level warrior, Nolan's eyesight was naturally not bad, and when he found Sean and the others waiting outside the town, he took the lead and planned to rush to everyone first.
"What?!"
As soon as he got some distance closer, his mental power swept casually, and the expression on his face instantly changed from a smile to a shock.
"Sean, you've been promoted to the rank of apprentice?!"
