Chapter 23: The Magical Journey

"What? Lin Yushang is gone?"

Amy and Da Qingshan both doubted the loyalty of their ears, how could this be possible?! How could Lin Yushang leave Hamburg at this time? Lord Lin He had just died in battle, and with Lin Yusheng's temper, would he give up the city that his father swore to defend? Could it be ...... Is it because Amy decided to abandon Hamburg......?

However, with Lin Yusheng's character, if she is dissatisfied with this matter, even if it is His Majesty Hongshi or Marshal Chi Datong who issued the order, she will definitely come to theorize instead of choosing to leave, which is definitely not what Lin Yushang should be.

Never ...... Lin Yushang went down the mountain to avenge his father's hatred privately, right? Although Lin Yushang was a little stubborn, he was by no means brainless, and he would not do such a thing that seemed to be going to death!

Never ...... The eldest lady of the Lin family was disheartened because her father died in battle, or was she simply scared?

In just a few breaths, Amy and Da Qingshan turned over countless possibilities in their minds, but they were denied by themselves one by one without saying it. What are you kidding, although Lin Yushang is a little willful, she is definitely outstanding among many girls, surpassing most men of the same age in terms of wisdom and combat power, you don't need to look at the small mercenary group There are now nearly 10,000 mercenaries, pull out the best of these mercenaries and Lin Yushang for a one-on-one duel, the Lianzhu magic improved by the eldest lady of the Lin family on the basis of the magic swordsman can beat most of them can't find the north. What's more, Lin Yushang is a rather resourceful person, how could she make mistakes?!

Amy also thought of this, and suddenly her heart moved, and a trace of cold breath burst into the nerves of her whole body in an instant, and the young man couldn't help but shudder: "Sha Ruo, what have you talked about with Lin Yushang in the past few days?"

Sha Ruo hadn't reacted yet, and his face was still a little confused: "As before, in order to make her happy, I just told her about my experience in the God Realm and our underground life." ”

Amy Huoran stood up: "Let's rest first, Da Qingshan, Sha Ruo, and Horns come with me." After hesitating for a moment, Amy added the list: "Lantian and Montgomer Road Captains should also come together." "For the provisional Supreme Commander of the Northern Theater of Operations, in order to gain the support of the regular army, it is necessary to show sufficient sincerity.

Amy lifted the curtain and disappeared outside the door, and when Daqingshan, Horns and others rushed out the door, they only saw Amy's back pushing the door and entering her room.

When Sharuo, When the two deputy leaders of the small mercenary group and the two middle-aged officers rushed into Amy's room, the room of the leader of the little mercenary group seemed to have just been brutally and comprehensively ransacked by an incompetent thief: the cups on the table were crooked, and the tea flowed silently, and it was immersed along the table into the dozens of thick magic pages that Amy often flipped through; all the bedding on the bed was pushed to the ground, and there were still a few brand new footprints on the snow-white bedding; the bookcase was open, and the remaining books were crooked, and the drawers were half pulled open; the wardrobe was also opened, and Amy's few clothes, including intimate clothes that were inconvenient to see, seemed to have been mischievously thrown everywhereTo make matters worse, a white sock was thrown into Amy's rice bowl, and there seemed to be some kind of smell in the air, and the only thing in the room that was not completely affected was a small box, which, as we all know, contained something used by Miss Yingying, but it was evident that it had also been carefully turned over......

Who could this incompetent little thief be?

Amy was stunned, and with a wry smile she opened the cabinet under the bookcase - it was empty, clean, as if there had never been anything, and the smile on Amy's face was bitter enough to make coptis soup.

"What did you lose? Do you think Miss Lin Yushang took it?" the dwarf scratched his scalp, a little inexplicable. In fact, this problem is even more inexplicable, and the people who can enter Amy's room freely are probably a few people in the entire small mercenary group, such as Da Qingshan, Horns, Sha Ruo, Lin Yusheng, and Ling Bao'er......

No! Emiteng jumped up, Ling Bao'er, and Ling Bao'er: "Come on, come on!" A few small mercenaries rushed in from outside the house.

"Quick, go and see if His Royal Highness Lingbao'er is here? If so, just say my order, please a few elven elders must not leave Your Majesty Lingbao's Sons and Daughters. ”

"Yes, Commander. A couple of teenagers trotted out.

"Amy, I think, with Lin Yushang's temper, she won't take Ling Bao'er with her in this matter. Da Qingshan whispered.

"Well, I know......" The look on Amy's face didn't know how to describe: "I'm afraid, Ling Bao'er was present at the time, you know, Ling Bao'er is even more daring and reckless." ”

Horns listened for a long time, and continued his usual sluggishness in this regard: "Amy, Da Qingshan, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand at all? Do you mean that Lin Yushang stole your things? How could it be? If she likes something, won't she ask you directly? Will you not give it to her?"

The head of the regiment is well-known for his good speech in the eyes of the insiders of the small mercenary group, especially for things outside the body such as money, Amy is very generous, if Lin Yushang really likes Amy's something, even if it is valuable, there is no need to sneak in and take it away without Amy in the house.

Amy smiled bitterly and touched her nose: "Hmm...... I'm really not going to give her these things she's taking now. ”

"What's that?" the dwarf's eyes widened, could it be...... It was Lin Yusheng who took what Miss Ying left behind? Otherwise, how could Amy refuse.

"This ...... Horns, I really forgot to tell you some things, Lin Yushang took away a few keys, En...... These keys can open the door to the throne of the king of the entire world...... Of course, it is more likely that the door to hell has been opened and the place of no return. The more Amy explained, the wider Horns' eyes widened, and of course the more he didn't understand.

Lin Yusheng took away the "key", Amy and the others got several one-way teleportation items in the underground magic kingdom, at that time, the three Jedi elders of the magic kingdom asked Amy to put these items near the prayer tower, but unfortunately, after Amy came out, she fell into the attack and defense of Fenglong and Hamburg City, and she didn't have time to fulfill her promise at all. After returning to Hamburg, Amy carefully placed them in the cupboard, fearing that she would accidentally touch the keys, and never touched them. And now, these keys were taken away by Miss Lin Yusheng, and ...... It's still not a pull, and all of them are gone. Maybe...... The eldest lady of the Lin family was worried that Amy and the others would find a way to chase her and stop her, so she cut the grass and eradicated the roots so cleanly and thoroughly.

Sha Ruo bit her lip tightly, for the first time she felt that she used to have a lot of mouths! When she talked about this, why didn't she have a string in her head at all? In order to avenge Lord Lin He, Lin Yusheng had been bitter in her heart for a period of time, and she had been doing morning exercises every morning without interruption -- this was the most important thing for Lin Yushang in the past ten or twenty days. In order to take revenge, that is, Xiangbi became 40 years old, and frowning her brows was not a manifestation of Lin Yusheng.

"Sha Ruo, have you talked about the conditions for the use of these keys?" Amy was already worried, Da Qingshan could understand that this kind of thing that was passed down from the ancient magic kingdom was something that determined whether the magic kingdom could be passed on smoothly, if it was forcibly used by someone who was not capable enough, then ...... Maybe the whole person will be torn apart by the rebellious magic elves.

"Yes, I did. Sha Ruo immediately nodded quickly.

Da Qingshan whispered to Horns and the two Imperial Captains on the side to explain the key clearly, and the faces of the three people were also full of worry.

If it is said in this way, Lin Yushang also knows that his strength cannot trigger these keys, and a first-level mage wants to become a great mage and a mage, the process is simply too long, and it is impossible for anyone other than the mage to release the realm...... Don't...... Lin Yusheng took these keys to find the forest spirit elf elders? No, of course, the elders could feel the huge magical ability hidden in them, but the elf elders practiced all wood magic, which should be out of the scope of application of the key. The magister around him, in addition to the three magisters who have taken refuge in the Burmeyang Empire, is Teacher Lege...... Could it be that Lin Yushang went to find Lei Ge?

Amy gasped, this ...... It's really possible. Don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, Lei Ge has a very good relationship with the Marquis of Lin He, and it is really difficult for Lei Ge to refuse a similar request. With Rega's mastery of space-time magic, it may be possible to teleport with Sha Ruo at the same time as triggering the key.

Da Qingshan also thought of this, and the two teenagers glanced at each other and shook their heads helplessly. Now, it's too late to do anything about it, unless...... can load the time until Sha Ruo tells this story, otherwise, with Miss Lin's temper, she will definitely not give up this opportunity, and Miss Lin's line will definitely give full play to the advantages of unicorns, and she will definitely advance in the forest, and no one can find a unicorn knight in the forest.

Now, I can only hope that Ling Bao'er doesn't know about it. As soon as he thought of this, a small mercenary came in from outside: "Captain Amy, Her Majesty Queen Lingbao is in the city, and there are two elders accompanying her." ”

Several people in the room exhaled the air in their lungs at the same time, and it was okay...... If something happens to Ling Bao'er again, then ...... In the face of more than 100,000 elves' bows and arrows and magic staffs, several commanders of the small mercenary group estimated that they would all have to die.

"Forget it, don't worry. I'll write a letter now, and immediately ask Dark Autumn to go to the Boundary Forest War Zone and send it to Mr. Rege, no matter how fast the unicorn is, it can't be compared to the wind dragon. Perhaps, things aren't as bad as we think. Amy said as she picked up the goose feather pen and quickly wrote it, and then brought the dark autumn sound that had just recovered from her injury, and watched as the boy summoned the dragon to fly southeast.

"Go back to the council chamber, we have to arrange other things as soon as possible, alas...... This Lin Yushang is really strong......" Amy let out a low moan.

In the conference hall, nearly 40 participants waited for more than half an hour before they saw Amy, Daqingshan and others return, and the attentive people immediately noticed something strange on the faces of the four people. Amy thought about it, and she couldn't hide the fact that Lord Lin He's daughter-in-law was gone, so she simply said: "Miss Lin Yushang set off for the Jielin War Zone in the morning, and I think Marshal Chi Datong should soon know about our actions here." Horns and the two captains glanced at Amy, and had to admire that human language was so wonderful, Amy's two sentences were 100% correct, but except for those who knew the inside story, everyone else would understand it as something else after listening to it, and such superb skills as a dwarf clan could only be amazed.

The two captains also subconsciously glanced at each other, it seems that His Royal Highness the righteous son of Lord Chi has really inherited the mantle of the adult, how can this be said quite like the feeling of being lightweight when Lord Chi was transferred from the three captains at the beginning of his tenure. The two captains raised their understanding of Amy to another level in their hearts.

Amy had fully returned to normal, and the corner of her mouth was wearing her trademark shallow smile: "By the way, everyone, I will announce another canonization order." According to the relevant decree of the Imperial Minister, I have the right to directly canonize all the following wartime titles of the county king......"

Amy deliberately dragged out her voice, and everyone in the hall was fully aroused at this moment. As the Prince of the Empire, although it is not hereditary, His Excellency Amy does have such power, but after the war, the titles that were canonized during the war need to be reviewed by the Ministry of Officials for a second time, and most of the titles canonized during the war will be demoted by one level and re-stamped with the seal of the Emperor. After the departure of His Excellency Chi Aotian's expeditionary force, in order to reward many soldiers on the expedition, the Imperial Military Department and the Ministry of Officials suddenly canonized a group of nobles, and His Excellency Chi Aotian became the youngest hereditary head of the Duke family in the history of the empire. In the hall, dozens of pairs of hot eyes looked at Amy without blinking.

The young man in white smiled, and Amy suddenly smiled as brightly as a flower: "Since ancient times, emperors and generals have been like each other, and in this war that spans three continents, I believe that His Majesty Hongshi will never hesitate to reward meritorious officials, and I believe that everyone can already see this in the Chi Aotian Expeditionary Force." As for me, of course, my hand will not be as big as His Majesty Redstone, but within the scope of my ability, I will let every soldier, mercenary, and common man who has contributed to the empire, the Eminole continent, and mankind receive a rich reward while receiving honor. ”

In the autumn and January of the 6th year of the magic calendar, the future mercenary king Amy issued the famous "head-cutting order" to the 6 million human residents of the northern theater of war under his control.

Commendation orders all soldiers and civilians in the northern theater of the empire, as long as they can fight and kill the regular soldiers of Fanos in the Pan-continental War, they will be rewarded according to the following rules.

1. Whoever fights a werewolf warrior or a human warrior will have a bounty of 3 coins for each head;2. Whoever fights a half-orc warrior will have a bounty of 6 coins for each head; 3. Whoever fights a bearman warrior will have a bounty of 10 coins for each human head; 4. Whoever fights a dragon will have a bounty of 1,000 for each dragon;5. Whoever fights a divine dragon will have a bounty of 5,000 for each dragon; 6. Anyone who kills more than 1~If there is a position in the 3 soldiers, the total number of soldiers under his jurisdiction is multiplied by the base number, that is, if he kills a thousand orcs and elders, he will have a bounty of 6,000 coins for each head.

7. Whoever receives a total of 50 gold coins will receive the Imperial Life Lord and the Imperial Blue Feather Knight;8. Whoever receives a total of 100 gold coins will receive the Imperial Baron for Life, and the Lord will be hereditary;9. Whoever receives the total number of gold coins will receive the Imperial Viscount for Life, and the Baron will be hereditary;10. Whoever receives the total number of gold coins will receive the Imperial Lifetime Earl, and the viscount will be hereditary;11. Whoever receives the total number of gold coins will receive the Imperial Marquis for Life; the earl is hereditary; the hereditary viscount of the hereditary repudiation;12. Whoever receives a total of 15,000 gold coins will be awarded the Imperial Life Duke, the Marquis hereditary, the hereditary Earl; 13. Whoever receives the total number of 30,000 gold coins will be awarded the Imperial Hereditary Duke, the hereditary Marquis, and the above canonizations will be rewarded with the corresponding fief according to the laws of the Imperial Officials!

The above combat exploits must be based on the enemy's head and standard helmet as evidence, otherwise, they will not be recognized!

As soon as Amy's words landed, the officers in the hall discussed loudly! All the great nobles of the empire without exception all came from the founding period, and after entering the era of peace, the quantity and quality of the nobles produced were far from being comparable with the founding period, and in the past 500 years, only three dukes were born at the highest, and they were all only hereditary titles. In this great war, the titles canonized due to military exploits are already shocking, especially the Chimen family with the descendant line of the empire, two thrones plus a hereditary dukedom, if no one is blushing, it is impossible. Including the children from the Ice and Snow Continent of the Little Mercenary Group, it is impossible not to feel itchy when they see their former comrades-in-arms have knighthoods one by one.

Among the canonized nobles, the most difficult thing is to grasp the degree, and few people know what kind of military exploits they need if they want to get the next higher title. Now, in Amy's new regulations, everything is clearly written - of course, it is clear, this commendation order is modified by His Excellency Amy according to the rules of mercenaries and mercenary groups. This law has been working perfectly for tens of thousands of years, and there are no loopholes in the promotion rules at all.

For anyone, as long as he succeeds in killing any of the Phanos Thousand Chiefs, it means that he will at least become a lifetime earl, and if he happens to kill a Bear Thousand Chiefs, it will be a hereditary count of the Empire. Although it is not hereditary, it is definitely satisfying for ordinary people, especially the heirs of the eldest sons of noble families.

Along with the beheading order, there was also a "lifting ban" on the use of crossbow arrows, in which Amy used the Battle of Ice Break as an example to severely condemn the use of crossbow arrows by the Phanos Legion, and incidentally pointed out that although the northern theater of the empire repeatedly emphasized that it would not be the first to use crossbow arrows, it was necessary to reluctantly use weapons of mass destruction in order to retaliate against the other side's unauthorized use of weapons of mass destruction. Moreover, in order to facilitate the self-defense of the residents of the Northern Theater, all registered residents of the Northern Theater can purchase crossbows at the cost price of the city's combat reserve warehouse.

Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements.

The release of Amy's "head-cutting order" &"lifting the ban" is undoubtedly the best commentary on this sentence. Only three months after the beheading order was issued, due to the attacks of civilians and mercenaries in various places using crossbow arrows and other weapons of mass destruction, the Phanos Legion directly killed 7,393 soldiers and injured more than 8,000 soldiers. In fact, not all ambushes can kill 100% of the Fanos soldiers, let alone cut off the enemy's head, so the total number of gold coins paid in the northern theater of operations during the same period was only more than 40,000.

Oh my God, that's a bargain, more than 40,000 gold coins, not enough to form the most ordinary light infantry brigade! In a war, if you want to kill more than 7,000 enemy troops in one fell swoop, it will be at least a large-scale war in which both sides will invest more than 20,000 combat power. In the event of such a war, it is estimated that ...... Hey...... The empire needs to consume at least three hundred thousand funds.

The best part about the Beheading Order is that the Phanos Legion was instantly isolated by the populace, and the isolation quickly turned hostile. Faced with a wide variety of inhabitants, how do the Phanos soldiers know which one of them is interested in their heads? As long as there is one assassin in 10,000 people, the Phanos soldiers must guard against those 10,000 residents. Assassination, counter-assassination, massacre, counter-massacre, retaliation, counter-retaliation...... Whether it is blood or tears, many times, irreconcilable enemies of life and death are brewed little by little.

However, if there is anything inappropriate in the beheading order, it is that the Imperial soldiers of the Northern Federation are more regretful, because most of the Imperial troops are fighting on the inside line, therefore, they do not have much opportunity to make a lot of war money, but the small mercenary group is constantly fighting in the reckless snowfield, and one by one the teenagers begin to establish their own achievements.

If you think about it, the beheading order issued by Lord Amy is a bit like a tailor-made for a small mercenary group...... Oh...... It had been a few months before many of the officers in the Northern Theater had figured this out, and at that time, they all recalled the indescribable smile on the face of Lord Amy's head when the order was issued...... Alas...... This General Amy really has all the conditions to be a profiteer...... The true meaning of a golden brain is not "a mind that thinks about gold".

I can't say the master: the publisher has basically confirmed that "Mercenary" will be published in November. The new cover,I've asked a few readers and friends in the mercenary QQ group to see it.,Everyone thinks it's a big improvement over the original.。 The cover features Amy, who is "greedy for money", and Lu'er, who is "greedy for money", competing for gold coins.
