Chapter 323: Empire, Queen, and Mercenary
Please, that's a noble and beautiful angel! How could I be lucky enough to see it? They owe allegiance only to the imperial family and the royal families of those principalities.
"Then I would like to ask what is the name of this town of yours?" Axis asked.
"It's called Chak Village, and it's usually home to more than 300 people, but recently the village is full of young people. They have all been recruited by the Empire to fight against the demonic invasion. The old farmer said.
Now there are only a few men in the village who are over 50 years old, children in their teens, and women.
Even his poor son was forcibly conscripted into the imperial army, leaving behind his infant grandson, who wondered if he would ever return. Meet your old father, meet your newborn child, and meet your wife.
"These demons, where did they come from?"
"I don't know." Well, Axis didn't expect a farmer to know anything specific and useful.
"What Juggernaut do you have here? Or the legendary Archmage? Are there any martial gods, war gods, sword gods, law gods, and the like? Axis asked.
Kratos frowned when he heard the word god of war, isn't there a powerful god of war standing in front of you?
"I haven't heard of it."
"So do you have a Warcraft Forest here?"
"What is the Warcraft Forest?" The old farmer gave a very blank look.
"Huh! So do you have any of the top colleges in the continent here? Demon Martial Academy or something. Axis asked.
"I've never heard of him, I'm just a farmer." Obviously, Axis's question had left the farmer a little speechless.
"Ahem, okay! That's for you, and you'll be paid for answering my questions. Axis pulled out a few gold coins and shoved them into the farmer's hand.
"This, Lord Adventurer, I, I can't take this."
"Take it, I never let people help for free." Axis left without looking back.
The last thing he wants is that this is a super-high-level fantasy world, especially a world like Panlong, where Hongmeng is in control or something, and it is definitely not something that he can afford to provoke.
However, after asking the farmer for a long time, this thing seems to know nothing, but for the sake of insurance, Axis still hides all his divine power and the small universe in his body, and behaves like an ordinary person.
The same is true for Kratos, the power of the small universe is extremely good at hiding, as long as the two of them deliberately hide, then unless it is a god on the gods, no one can discover the identity of Kratos and Axis beyond the god-king.
"Let's go." It seems that in this small village, I can't ask for any useful information, so I have to find a bigger city.
Kratos nodded.
Just as they were about to leave, there was a sudden cacophony of horses chirping, weapons drawn, and farmers scolding.
"Shall I take a look?" Kratos asked.
"Well, let's go see what the situation is, and if it's a thief, help them solve it."
At this time, at the gate of the village, a group of neatly armed knights came, and behind these knights were hundreds of raggedly dressed, old, and even gray-haired peasants.
"The Griffon Empire needs you, and I have recruited you into battle in the name of the Empire." A female knight with long red hair and a beautiful face spoke.
Behind the female knight, followed by a pair of knights with very ornate equipment, and a pair of infantry armed with giant shields and long swords, in these knights and infantry, Axis clearly felt a power that belonged to the light.
But on the body of this female knight, in addition to the power of light, Axis also felt a very evil mark, although it was hidden deeply, it was still easily discovered by Axis.
And next to this female knight, a few hundred meters away, there is a female succubus with huge bony wing-like wings, goat hooves, fiery red skin, and even a fire on her head, which is in a state of invisibility.
It was indeed a demon, but the power in her body was not an evil power, but a very hot evil power, which looked a little different from the succubus of the Burning Legion, and looked like it was taller and bigger.
Things got interesting.
Apparently all the villagers did not want to buy the female knight's account, and the young men of the village had been drafted into the army, and now there was only a group of old men and children left.
There is no difference between them going to war and dying.
"Bastard, how dare you disobey my orders." The red-haired woman seemed very angry, and she drew her long sword and pointed it at all the villagers.
"The situation on the battlefield is bad right now, ma'am, we heard that the demons are going around slaughtering lives and devouring corpses, and we don't want to go to war." The old farmer, who had just spoken to Axis, walked out and said tremblingly.
"A bunch of cowards! The Griffon Empire is sure to emerge victorious. The knight said angrily.
"Then let those lords and kings go and win the victory, let our kings protect us, and we will stay in the fields and go anywhere." The farmer said.
"Humph! You must fulfill your oath of allegiance to the monarch, even if it is in a coerced manner, and the guards will arrest them all. "Obviously, this female knight is also a ruthless character, and if she doesn't agree with her, she will force these farmers to go to battle.
"Ahem!" Just as the two sides were about to make a move, there was a coughing sound, and Axis walked out with Kratos.
Axis felt that if he wanted to understand the world more clearly, he needed to play now.
After a while, he can find an opportunity to catch the succubus hidden by the female knight's side, and then he should be able to get some news from the other party.
The female knight's eyes lit up after seeing Axis and Kratos, these two guys seem to be very powerful warriors!
The warrior with his naked upper body, pale skin, explosive muscles, red marks on his body, and two knives behind his back looked extremely fierce.
The other one is extremely handsome, with a perfect golden ratio, with almost perfect marble muscles, and in terms of appearance, he is even more handsome than his newlywed husband.
Can you try to hire these two warriors who seem to be very powerful? Or forcibly conscript them.
"This lady, why force them to go to war? They're just a bunch of old, weak, sick and crippled, do you expect a group of farmers in their fifties to go into battle and fight the devil? Axis said.
"Now that the empire is fighting a bloody war with the demons, and our king is defending his country against the invasion of demons, these farmers should fight for their country, with the king, and call me Madame." The knightess said.
"Okay madam, otherwise, my companion and I accept your employment, and the two of us are still very strong in combat, at least much stronger than a group of old farmers who can't do it." Axis said.
"And how much gold do you want?" Indeed, as he said, it was much better to hire two warriors who looked like they were formidable than to forcibly recruit a group of old farmers.
"My friend and I, just 100,000 per person." Axis felt that his offer should be very low.
According to the setting in the fantasy, these noble knights will spend hundreds of thousands, or even millions of gold coins, to buy any equipment.
"What? 100,000 for one person, 200,000 gold coins for the two of you, what are you kidding? The female knight's eyes widened instantly, and she looked at Axis in disbelief, and even some of the knights around her showed disbelief on their faces.
What are these two bastards kidding? Hiring an archangel to participate in the battle only requires two blood crystals and 4,000 gold coins, and these two bastards actually opened their mouths for 100,000 per person.
200,000 gold coins, I can directly hire 2,000 knights to fight on the front line, why do I need to recruit farmers here?
You must know that it only takes more than 1,000 gold coins to hire a knight, and the annual financial income of the empire is only about 1 million gold coins.
"Are you kidding? Adventurer? Make such an unreasonable demand. One of the knights stepped forward, raised his spear, and pointed it at Axis.
But at that moment, Kratos' back Chaos Blade flung out, hooking the knight's breastplate directly and pulling him off his horse.
Our Kui Ye stretched out his big foot and stepped on his face, making the knight unable to move.
No one but me could be rude to Axis, and if it weren't for Axis's previous instructions not to kill casually.
Just by pointing a gun at Axis, the Blade of Chaos just now had already cut off his head, instead of dragging him off his horse.
Before everyone could react, the knight was already trampled on the head by Kratos.
Is there any mistake, a knight who received imperial training and was arranged by his side to protect himself was defeated by the other party in one face?
Could it be said that the strength of this bald man is even more powerful than that of the archangel? In that moment. I didn't even react.
】
"Please, ma'am, the price is negotiable, but your soldier is pointing a spear at me, it's his fault, okay Kratos, let this little poor go!" Axis said with a smile.
I think my judgment is a little wrong! It seems that 200,000 gold coins is a very valuable purchasing power in this world.
"Humph!" Kratos snorted coldly and kicked the knight, and the knight was kicked out like a cannonball, knocking down dozens of knights, who were rolling on the ground like sugar gourds.
"......." female knight.
It's so strong, it's really strong, he and others don't even have the strength to resist in the face of him, even with an archangel, Yin Sabel doesn't feel how safe she is.
"I apologize for the rude behavior of my men, two valiant knights, and I beg your forgiveness." At this moment, the female knight finally lowered her proud head, turned over and jumped off her horse, came to Axis, saluted, and spoke.
"You're welcome! Maybe the price I just made may have been a bit high, but trust me, the strength of the two of us is definitely worth the price. Axis said with a smile.
"I'm sorry two sirries, if one person has 100,000 gold coins, we really can't afford to pay this money, can we lower it a little?" The female knight smiled beautifully at Axis, bowed again, and spoke.
Normally, she wouldn't talk so lowly, but there was no way, the sense of oppression given by the bald man in front of her was too strong, if I could bring him to the battlefield, this bald man could definitely become the god of death for those demons.
Be able to make yourself easy to win.
"And how about a price?" Axis said.
In an instant, Axis kicked the ball back to the female knight.
"All the money I have on me now is only 3,000 gold coins, and I know that this amount of money is a humiliation for the two of you, but as long as you two can go to the battlefield with me and help me win this war, then after the war is won. Each of them can be paid at least 20,000 gold coins. The knightess gritted her teeth and offered what she thought was a price that was suitable.
Good guy, people are cutting half of the bargain, and you are cutting eighty percent of the dragon slaying treasure knife!
But it doesn't matter, Lao Tzu is not here to earn gold coins, gold coins are no different from stones to me, mainly to explore the intelligence of this world.
Seeing that Axis was deep in thought, the female knight suddenly felt anxious in her heart, and gritted her teeth again and spoke.
"Your Excellency! If the two are willing to join this war, then we, the Griffin Empire, are willing to canonize the two to become the Viscounts of the Empire. ”
Canonized nobles and added gold coins, it seems that the identity of this female knight is not simple!
"Can you, this lady, tell me who you really are? Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to believe you. Axis said.
"I am Yin Sabel, daughter of the Grand Duke of Greyhound, Queen of the Griffon Empire, and I assure you on behalf of my husband, King Nick of the Griffon Empire." Yin Sabel said.
Queen of the Gryphon Empire! Sure enough, it's not an ordinary nobleman, but the name of this griffin empire, Axis feels a little familiar, as if he's heard it somewhere?
It seems that there is a war chess game I play, and there is a country in it, which seems to be called the Griffin Empire, oh, no, it should be called the Erathia Empire, Heroes Invincible 3
"May I ask a question? Do you know the Erathian Empire? There is also Queen Catherine, the half-elf hero Gru, the barbarian York, the necromancer Sandru, and the Treasure Angel Alliance, the Dragon King Divine Power. Axis asked.
“?? I'm sorry, but I haven't heard of any of the people you are talking about, and as for the treasures you are talking about, the Angel Alliance and the Dragon King's divine power, I haven't heard of them either. The knightess thought about it for a moment, and then spoke.
Sandru's name seems a little familiar, but I remember that hundreds of years ago, there was a necromancer named Sandro who brought great danger to the world, but fortunately was stopped by a hero.
Am I mistaken?
