As for most of the mercenaries, they are secretly happy in their hearts, let them help defend the valley, and they will be issued weapons anyway, and at that time, hehe, but the other party will not have the final say.
As the mercenary captives read out the oath sentence by sentence, Jia Kedao showed a smile on his face, in the vision formed by the yin and yang eyes, Jia Kedao could clearly see that on the top of the heads of those mercenary captives, the land justice was busy, and the souls of those mercenary captives were pulled out as the oath was read, and they were pinched in the hands of the land lord.
Hehe, this Taoist canonized earth is not like the gods in this other world, only responsible for things within the scope of his own priesthood.
From ancient times to the present, if you don't talk about other lands, you can say that this land is like a village chief, who not only wants to bless the villagers, but also manages the life, old age, and burial of the villagers.
To put it simply, according to the definition of the gods of the other world, this land lord is to master the two ways of life and death of believers, and is also responsible for the way of contract.
Unbeknownst to these mercenary captives, as soon as they made this oath, the landlord as a witness would begin to exercise his right of oversight.
That stripped soul is where the contract lies.
As the mercenary captives completed the ceremony, piles of wrapped weapons and equipment were carried out by the Dao boys.
After unpacking, the long knives, Daguan knives, and even recurve bows, crossbows and other equipment that appeared made the mercenaries' eyes almost green.
These weapons and equipment are directly pressed and molded using modern mechanical processes, and their appearance is extremely exquisite in the eyes of these mercenaries.
A mercenary couldn't wait to grab a long knife in his hand, ran to the outside of the temple to find a wooden stick, and swung the knife down, the wooden stick suddenly split into two parts, and the incision was extremely smooth.
"I'm afraid this sword is no less than thirty gold coins, right?"
The mercenaries' eyes widened, whether this quality is good or not, the mercenaries who are used to using long swords will know if they try it.
Of course, there is no such weapon as a knife in this other world, so these mercenaries regard the long knife as a strange-looking long sword.
These weapons alone have won the hearts of many mercenaries.
The mercenaries who like to use two-handed swords threw their swords directly to the ground, and replaced them with Daguan knives with a wider attack range.
The thieves are directly targeting the crossbow, this thing is too convenient, ten steps and the like, not to mention a hundred shots, with the flexibility of these thieves, there is no problem in ninety out of ten, which invisibly expands the range of thieves' attacks several times, as long as those arrows are quenched, hehe, this is a deadly weapon.
The mercenary who likes to use a long sword is replaced with a long knife, plus a pair of high-strength alloy fiberglass shields, although it is not as flexible as a one-handed sword, but it can protect the body, and if you talk about one-on-one combat, such a mercenary is much more powerful than a mercenary who only holds a single sword.
Even some mercenaries were outside the temple when they received their shields, slowly sharpening the alloy shell underneath the shields with stones, so that these shields could not only withstand attacks, but also be used as swords when necessary.
The happiest ones are probably the archers.
The recurve bow produced in the era of the machine industry was more than ten times stronger than the straight-pull bow hand-made in the Otherworldly Workshop, and the bowstring made of special alloy steel wire alone amazed the archers, and in addition, the recurve bow was much less labor-intensive than the straight-pull bow.
Armed with this body, these mercenaries felt that their spirits had improved a lot.
However, after some mercenaries got this sophisticated equipment, they had crooked eyes, and a few mercenaries who had just been assigned to the valley mouth to guard the wall got into their minds, and after glancing at each other, they understood each other's intentions.
Taking advantage of the fact that the flame soldiers in charge of the wall were not paying attention, several mercenaries jumped off the wall and ran out.
A few mercenaries fled, and the flame soldiers guarding the wall didn't move at all, as if they were blind.
Seeing this scene, the rest of the mercenaries who were thinking about it couldn't help but be overjoyed, and then a few more mercenaries jumped off the wall and ran straight away, but those thoughtful mercenaries felt a little weird when they saw this scene.
Besides, there are still the majority of people who have principles in their hearts, and since they have made an oath, then they cannot break it.
Those mercenaries who escaped, in addition to rejoicing, also had some regrets in their hearts, they knew that this was the case, they should still stay, and wait until the mercenary team attacked and then secretly attacked, maybe they could make a fortune.
Just by looking at the weapons and equipment that this valley has taken out, you can know how rich it is.
If the blacksmith who made these weapons and equipment can be taken away, it will be the foundation of a hundred generations.
In this world, good weapons are the most lucrative business.
Not to mention the filth in the hearts of these mercenaries.
It is only said that they fled quickly, and when they were about to escape from Taniguchi's sight, an accident happened.
The mercenaries who stood on the fence of the valley and looked over there saw that the fleeing guys had suddenly fallen down, and then they were rolling on the ground, screaming fiercely.
"What's wrong?"
At this time, a flame Dao soldier brought a few mercenaries over to check the situation.
When they got closer, a few mercenaries found that more than a dozen small pits had suddenly appeared in the place where the escaped mercenaries had fallen, just the size of a foot.
It turned out that the reason why these escaped mercenaries fell was to step into a small pit while running at high speed, and in this case, both leg fractures were light.
When it was time to carry back a few of the escaped mercenaries, the mercenaries who learned the reason couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh that the luck of these people was too bad, and they had not connected the injuries of a few people with the oath until now.
It wasn't until after night that a few more of the mercenaries who were in charge of guarding the walls at night fled, and they also fell to the ground wounded shortly after escaping.
The cause of the injury was the bite of a poisonous snake, and each person was no more or less, and one bite on both legs.
This scene was immediately connected by the nimble mercenary to the scene during the day.
The same is true of those who fled during the day, with no more or no less small pits under their feet, two for each person, and their legs were broken.
Of course, even if there were two incidents, there were still people who didn't believe in evil, and the next morning, it happened to be a blizzard, and there were basically no people to see ten meters out of the wall, and a mercenary who didn't believe in evil slipped down the wall and fled.
As a result, within a few minutes, there was a cry for help in the distance, and when a group of mercenaries passed, they found that the escaped mercenary was actually trapped in a hole formed by the snow, like a mosquito trapped in lard, and he didn't focus on it, let alone escaped, he almost fell down and drowned directly in the snow, and even if he was rescued, he was frozen to death, according to the priest apprentice in the temple, he needed to amputate his limbs.
