Chapter 130: Mercenary Regiment
Under the wild rush of several giant wolves, Chu Tian and a few people took only three days to come from the mountains to Langton City, the capital of the Duchy of Luoer.
Along the way, Locke seemed very excited, because the giant wolf carrying him was one level higher than him, a fourth-order demonic beast. This made Locke, a small third-level swordsman, fiercely proud.
"Brother-in-law, our grandfather really has the vision, and he actually married Julia to you in advance. Locke nagged and said to Chu Tian: "Who would have thought that you, a thief who stole pigs and beasts, would become the number one mercenary leader of the principality. ”
What is the number one in a small country? Chu Tian was very disdainful in his heart, who told Young Master Chu to control the top ten earth dragon mercenary groups on a continent?
"Why, a mercenary group made you so happy that you couldn't find the Hanging River Prairie?" Chu Tian said, "If you like it, I will give you the Storm Mercenary Group." ”
"Haha, don't be kidding!" Locke didn't believe what Chu Tian said at all, "That's it, my mercenary group will stop working, and I can work for you." You just let me be a squad leader. Saying that, Locke fell into the illusion of a better life in the future, "Hehe, in that case, I can earn five gold coins a month, and in a few years, I will be able to build a big house for my grandfather to retire for, and Julia's dowry when she marries you will also have ......."
Looking at Locke, who was easily satisfied, Chu Tian sighed in his heart, this simple country brother and sister didn't know that their grandfather was the tenth-order demonic beast Dracula who shook the entire continent, and that old bat was probably dead in the duel now...... Thinking of that old bat, Chu Tian became depressed again, when he first crossed over to the west, Chu Tian was only thinking about going home, and he didn't think about why Dracula married his granddaughter to him. It wasn't until he had recently settled down that he suddenly realized that Dracula's excuse for marrying his granddaughter seemed reasonable, but there were too many flaws.
Is it difficult that among the descendants of Dracula's friends, there is no one worthy of Julia? Is it just to find a powerful grandson-in-law that is worth his last strength, or his own life, to save Chutian? Also, what does Dracula mean when he says that Chutian is no longer human?
Chu Tian fell into deep thought, and Locke patted him, "Hey, do you agree? ”
"Oh," Chu Tian shook his head, throwing Dracula's matter out of his mind, "I was also serious just now, the Storm Mercenary Regiment gave it to you!"
"You ......" Looking at Chu Tian's serious appearance, it didn't look like a joke, Lockmont.
"No, I don't want to!" After a while, Locke also became serious, "Before Grandpa left, I promised him that he must make money with his own strength!"
Chu Tian's impression of Locke immediately went up a notch, and there were not many people on this continent who could face millions of gold coins who were not moved.
"I didn't give it to you for nothing!" Chu Tian was determined to send the mercenary group out, well, or find a free labor, "I'm a thief, and I can't be the head of the group at all, so I asked you to manage it for me, but the mercenary group is still mine." ”
Chu Tian was not interested in running a mercenary group with all his efforts, thinking that at the beginning, even if it was the position of the right minister of the empire and the chief court priest, Chu Tian would not do anything with a title. In the words of the earth, Young Master Chu is only the right to ownership and income, and the management right is delegated to his subordinates, and then he watches his subordinates work, and he lies at home and counts the gold coins!
"That's right," Locke was moved, "that's fine, I'll take care of it for you." ”
After a few people spoke, they rode the giant wolf to Langton City.
Although Langton City is also the capital of a country, it is far from Pompeii. Compared with the buildings of Pompeii, which are often more than ten meters high, Langton City is like a child, full of low bungalows, only in the center of the city, it seems to be a royal palace.
Under the leadership of Aaron, Chu Tian and the others walked through several streets and came to the headquarters of the Storm Mercenary Group, although the appearance of several people riding giant wolves along the way was very conspicuous, but the residents of the city were not surprised.
"This is the headquarters of the mercenary group?" Looking at the slightly dilapidated courtyard in front of him, Chu Tian asked Aaron with a frown.
"Commander, this is it. Seeing Chu Tian's dissatisfaction, Aaron explained: "It may be that after Davis's accident, no one has cleaned it, so it looks a little messy." ”
"Andy, it's already very good!" Julia said, gesturing around, "It's already the best house here." ”
"Brother-in-law, are you still not satisfied?" Locke nagged again, "This is the headquarters of the Principality's largest mercenary group, and this house is considered good in the national capital!"
"Praise the god of death! let's go in!" Although Chu Tian was helpless, he had to endure it, but he secretly said in his heart, when Lao Tzu returned home, he would buy the entire Langton City, and then dismantle and rebuild it...... The two-story attic in the center of the courtyard was where Davis used to work and live, but now it looks much more deserted.
"Alas!" Alan sighed and said, "We mercenaries are only working for gold coins, Davis has an accident, and a lot of people in the group have dispersed!"
Chu Tian also found that there were not many people in the group, and one of the courtyards of Nuoda was deserted, and there were only a few dozen servants left. Occasionally, a few people dressed as mercenaries watched Chu Tian and the others enter the attic, and only then did they show a trace of vitality in their eyes.
"Locke, Aaron, you will be the deputy head of the mercenary group in the future. Chu Tian instructed the two of them, "Now you go and check how many people are left in the group." After speaking, Chu Tian hugged Xiaobai and Julia and walked into the attic.
Locke and Aaron were very fast, and they didn't wait long for Chu Tian to work in the hall before they came back, bringing back an old man at the same time.
"Captain, this is Terry, the butler of the headquarters, let him tell you!" Arun introduced.
"Hello Regiment Leader!" The old man bowed respectfully to Chu Tian, and then said: "Originally, there were a total of three thousand two hundred people in the regiment, but since the accident of Captain Davis, the masters of the regiment have all been killed by Garth, and the ordinary members have also left a lot, and now there are only two thousand people left. ”
"Where are these two thousand people?" asked Chu Tian.
"There are five hundred men in Langton City, who can be called at any time, and the rest are all over the principality, maintaining local trade. ”
As he spoke, the old housekeeper Terry took out a scroll and presented it to Chu Tian, "This is the account book of the regiment, and now there are more than 70,000 gold coins in the headquarters, and in the past, the regiment could earn about 100,000 gold coins every year, but now I can't say for sure." ”
That's right, for this result, Chu Tian can still accept it.
As for the way to go home, Chu Tian has been thinking for a long time, if he wants to cross the entire continent, gold coins alone are not enough, now there are people chasing and killing Chu Tian all over the continent, who knows what dangers will be encountered along the way? Therefore, Chu Tian plans to wait until he has collected enough money to directly buy a Zeppelin and fly back. This is both speed and safety.
"Commander, there's one more thing...... Terry suddenly became slumped, "Since Captain Davis's accident, Gat's mercenary group has been constantly looking for trouble with us, and many brothers have been injured by them. ”
"What?" Chu Tian's eyes narrowed, daring to hit Lao Tzu's brother? Fuck, this Gat is looking for death!
"How many people are there in Garth, and how many masters are there?" Chu Tian put on a posture of wanting to fight.
"Commander, don't be impulsive. Alun persuaded, "Although there are only more than 2,000 mercenary groups in Garth, they have more masters than us. Aaron asked a little difficult, "Now I am the only intermediate professional left in the group......"
"It's okay, I'll go to Kevin to borrow ......"
Before Chu Tian could finish speaking, a deafening noise suddenly came from outside the courtyard, "Oh no," a mercenary rushed in, "The army of the principality has surrounded us!"
"Get out of the way!" a few soldiers pushed away the servants who were blocking the way, and then walked in with a fat man dressed as a big poop and a military general.
"Terry, you old fellow, get out of here!" said the fat man arrogantly.
Terry glanced at Chu Tian, and then didn't move.
"Huh, you old immortal, dare to be disobedient?" the fat man shook the fat off his body, and even his armor shook. "According to the rules, if you mercenary group has no leader, then all the property will belong to the principality! Hurry up, get out of here, this is Your Majesty's!" Obviously, this is a naked robbery, but it was Chu Tian who was robbed this time.
"Who said that the mercenary group does not have a leader?" Chu Tian asked with a wicked smile, "I am the new leader of the Storm Mercenary Group!" As he spoke, Chu Tian took out the contract and shook it.
The fat man was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Boy, who agreed to you taking over the Storm Mercenary Group? Without His Majesty's consent, your regiment leader doesn't count!"
"Captain Andy is ......" Alun wanted to explain, but was stopped by Chutian.
Chu Tian stood up from the chair, walked up to the fat man, and said, "I am the head of the regiment, do I still need the consent of others?"
"Are you still quite arrogant?" the fat man was so angry that he trembled, and waved his hand to the soldiers under him, "Arrest him!"
"Who dares to do it?" Locke's horizontal sword blocked in front of Chu Tian.
"Locke, I'm fine!" Chu Tian motioned for Locke to get out of the way, and then said to the fat man: "It's just right, I still have something to talk to your king, let's go, just trouble you to take me." ”
"Do you want to see Your Majesty?" The fat man was a little confused, he had also been in the officialdom for more than ten years, so he naturally had a set of skills for looking at people, although Chu Tian was dressed ordinary, but his temperament and demeanor were definitely only available to people who had prominent officials all year round.
"Yes, I just want to see your king. ”
"Who are you?" the fat man's attitude improved significantly.
"You are not qualified to know!" Chu Tian made a condescending gesture, dealing with this kind of villain, the more mysterious he pretended, the more scared he became.
"You are waiting for me here. Chu Tian pulled the fat man and walked out, and as he walked, he told Locke and the others, "I'll go talk to the king about business, and I......'ll be back soon."
