Chapter 500: Revealing Identities (Part II)
Shen Fei thought that these people were aimed at him at first, so while gnawing on the flesh and bones, he secretly prepared to beat his mother as soon as they made a difficulty! It's just that to Shen Fei's surprise, although the three big men found that there was only one guest in the tavern when they entered the door, they were slightly nervous, and they all subconsciously held their weapons, but when the tavern owner ran to greet them, they didn't care, just glanced at Shen Fei slightly, and then under the cheerful boss's greeting, they casually found a corner table to sit down, and then shouted at the boss to hurry up and serve the food.
Unlike Shen Fei's side, they ordered three black breads as thick + long as a big + leg, three pots of the cheapest ale, and a palm-sized piece of meat at the end of the day, and then they ate a mouthful of ale wine and a mouthful of black bread.
What made Shen Fei sigh and couldn't help but admire was that the big + thick legs + long black bread actually made them eat it all in three or five or seven bites, and most of the ale wine was drunk, and after a full burp, they slowed down, Si Swenwen bit the meat piece by bite, and also drank the ale wine in small sips, and they didn't just care about eating and drinking just now, but began to talk and laugh.
"John, have you really gotten the news that this royal city is going to recruit a large number of soldiers?" said a big man with big eyes staring at the man opposite, and a bearded man on the side who was slowly tearing off his flesh also slowed down and aimed his eyes at the bald man.
The bald man who was questioned tasted the ale in his mouth, swallowed it and said with a sigh of relief: "It's not a soldier, how many times have I said it, this time it's a miscellaneous soldier with the army!"
"Damn! Of course, I know that this time I recruited a miscellaneous soldier, but you kid never said anything different about this miscellaneous soldier, I don't believe that if you really do miscellaneous work, you will pull us back from the front in a hurry!" The big-eyed man roared angrily, and the bearded man also patted the table and said, "John." Isn't this yours, we have already come to the royal city, why don't you hurry up and tell us the details of this?"
"Hehe, two brothers, don't be so anxious, I, John, will not hurt you, see that I am good, just think of you. The bald John first boasted about himself, and then pretended to poke his head into the center of the table and whispered, and the other two naturally poked their heads together, but John's voice was so loud that the entire tavern could hear it: "Hehe, you also know that there has been no war on the front line of the Dao Dao these days, and we mercenaries who help the kingdom army to help defend have not eaten meat for a long time." Don't you think it's strange? You must know that in the past, there was a small battle every three days, and a big battle every ten days. ”
"Of course it's strange, but after several large mercenary groups have left, I know that the peace talks are about to begin, and I am about to leave the kingdom to go to other countries to see if there is any work to do. The bearded man muttered while enjoying the thin shredded flesh.
"Hehe, it's right to talk peace, and it's a step further, the two countries are ready to become allies. Let's fight together with the outside world. ”
"Alliance? Are you kidding? These two countries have been fighting on the border for hundreds of years, and now they are suddenly saying that they are still fighting foreign countries in peace talks? Who believes it?!" The big-eyed man shouted in disbelief.
"Hehe, I didn't believe it at first, but the message is. Moreover, as long as we think about the fact that the two countries have been fighting for hundreds of years but have not even occupied a piece of each other's land, but have consumed so much manpower and material resources, will they continue to fight without peace talks? Besides, do you know who their target is? As long as you know who the target is. You will know why the two countries have formed an alliance and sent troops together. A smug John taunted his prophet.
"Che, the only country that the two countries share a common border is the Manya city-state, except for the Manya city-state. Who else can they join forces to fight?" the bearded man first said disdainfully, but quickly reacted to what he said, and looked at the big-eyed man in disbelief, and then stared at John fiercely and shouted: "Isn't it? Is it really a joint attack on the Manya city-state? You must know that without the support of the Manya city-state, the two countries would not have been able to fight each other for hundreds of years! Isn't this ungrateful?"
"Hehe, that's right, it's to attack the Manya city-state, one of the reasons for attacking it is to provoke a war between the two countries for hundreds of years, and make a lot of war money or something, but think about it, after hundreds of years of war between the two countries, almost a copper plate that can be taken out has fallen into the hands of the Manya city-state, and the two countries that are already so poor that they have only the army left don't fight the Manya city-state, who else can they fight!" John said with a sneer.
Hearing this, Shen Fei could already be sure that these three big men were not here to target him, but Shen Fei also shook his head helplessly at the upper echelons of the country, it stands to reason that this kind of thing that is obviously going to the Manya city-state to grab money and land should be strictly blocked from the news, now it's okay, not waiting for the call order for war preparations, not to mention that Man'er is the head of the royal city and knows the Dao, these men who are mercenaries on the front line actually know the Dao, and from this it is obvious that the Dao has been known throughout the country. This kingdom's military preparations have really failed enough! Isn't this tantamount to reminding the Manya city-state to prepare early, and even to take the lead?
No matter why the Drake Kingdom and the Weilan Empire are preparing to attack the Manya city-state, and no matter how high their chances of victory are at the beginning, unless the ruler of the Manya city-state is a white + idiot, Shen Fei is definitely not optimistic about this invasion war, and he may not be able to give the Manya city-state a counterattack. After all, the Manya city-state is an organization that started as a trader, and being well-informed and flexible is an absolutely necessary quality, and I am afraid that the intelligence of the two countries preparing to invade the Manya city-state has long been studied by the rulers of the Manya city-state, and even the battle plan has long been produced.
Thinking of this, Shen Fei had no interest in the miscellaneous soldiers, but although Shen Fei was not interested, the words of the three big men continued to reach his ears.
"Well, that's right, the Manya city-state has earned too much wealth from the two countries, and seriously speaking, without the support of the Manya city-state, the two countries would not have been able to hold out on to the border war for hundreds of years, and it seems that the two countries can't help but slaughter this big fat pig. The bearded man touched his chin and nodded.
But the big-eyed man put this question aside, and asked very nervously: "This military servant is a supplement to the lack of troops in the Derek Country, right? This military servant must be responsible for maintaining law and order in the occupied territory and collecting the spoils of war, but what is the benefit of being this military servant? I don't want to hand over more than half of what I have snatched!" As soon as these words came out, the bearded man also stared at John with bright eyes. Even Shen Fei, who was no longer interested, couldn't help but prick up his ears, if there were many benefits, Shen Fei would be very happy to participate in this miscellaneous military service, no matter what happened in the future. Let's get the benefits first.
"Quack, grab something and hand it over half? No, no, how can you hand over half of it? Yes, you have to hand over all the proceeds!" John said solemnly, shaking his index finger.
"Damn! All of them are handed over? Bah! The ghost is going to be this miscellaneous soldier of the army! Relying on the few copper plate military salaries of the army, where is there enough for Lao Tzu to eat!" The big-eyed man immediately exploded.
"Hehe, don't be angry, I haven't finished talking yet, I'll tell you, there are new rules for the miscellaneous service this time, which was decided when I was preparing to form an alliance to attack the city-state of Manya, and my connections are wide enough to get the news so early. All right. Don't stare at me, I'll just say, that is, there is no military pay or military status for the miscellaneous service in the army, but it will be calculated according to the value paid by each person, and when the value reaches a certain level, you will get the territory!"
"Territory?!" Shen Fei was shocked, after being here for a while, Shen Fei knew the preciousness of the territory of the Dao, and ordinary people didn't want to get the territory at all. But now, a miscellaneous soldier can get a territorial reward for his efforts?
And the two big men were even more excited, and they had already grabbed John's clothes together, one shouted: "This is not true, right?" and the other shouted: "Tell me what the conditions are!" But they soon realized that they were acting inappropriately and hurriedly helped to sort out the clothes. is still flattering and pours wine.
After enjoying it for a while, John didn't take it anymore, nodded and said, "The condition is very simple, as long as the materials handed in reach 1,000 gold coins." You get a knight's collar, and so on, when you have ten knight's collars. You can have the title of a lord, and a hundred knights, you can naturally get the title of baron, it is said that there is no cap on this title, and having a thousand knights is the viscount recognized by the two countries, and 10,000 is naturally an earl. ”
Including the boss and the maid who listened with their ears pricked up, after hearing these words, they were all stunned like the two big men, and then the middle-aged maid returned to the kitchen with a giggle, and the boss also returned to the counter to wipe the wine glass, and the two big men spat directly, and then directly grabbed the wine jug and poured it. On the contrary, Shen Fei was touching his chin and thinking about how many knights he should get.
"Hey, why are you behaving like this? Is a thousand gold coins enough to make you hold back?
"A thousand gold coins? Bah! To put it mildly, I took an axe to work as a mercenary at the age of fourteen, and I have been a mercenary for almost twenty years now, and I have never carried out any tasks from birth to death! But what is it like for me to + + grow up and never touch a gold coin! Spicy next door! A thousand gold coins for a knight's collar? Ask the counts to see if they have a thousand gold coins in their treasury!
And the bearded man said gloomily: "First of all, if Lao Tzu grabs a thousand gold coins, Lao Tzu can be a rich man wherever he goes, why do you exchange it here for a knight's territory?" Again, this knight's territory cannot be in the kingdom of Drake, and it is even more impossible for it to belong to the one-person Weilan Empire in the whole country, so it can only be placed in the Manya city-state, and from the system of the two countries actually exchanging the spoils of war for the territory, it shows that the two countries are just preparing to loot and leave, and they are not ready to hold the occupied territory at all, so after the withdrawal of the armies of the two countries, those who exchange the spoils for the territory will become the front line, and the Manya city-state that must meet the counterattack, white +I really don't believe that the alliance between the two countries can completely wipe out the Manya city-state! The consumption of the war can be imagined, I believe that after a war is fought, these new knights who happily go to be lords will either die in battle or their territory will be captured, and then run back to the country as a bitter fake knight, by the way, maybe the two countries need these fake knights to consume the counteroffensive of the Manya city-state, and after the counteroffensive, the Manya city-state will return to its original territory, but it will not be able to counterattack the two countries again due to the excessive loss of property, so the two countries can enjoy a large amount of looted property in peace! Idiot, who is going to participate in this miscellaneous service!"
Shen Fei blinked, he didn't expect this bearded man who looked headless and brainless to have such a delicate mind! He actually told all the causes and consequences of exchanging the spoils of war for land at once? Damn! Is this mercenary in the world realm so awesome? Just from one system, so many problems can be seen? This bearded mercenary alone is much more awesome than his own 3,500 Yin Demon subordinates!
"Oh! it's not what you think!" John hurriedly shook his hand to argue, but the two companions obviously saw that this guy was a trap sent by the kingdom to seduce those brainless mercenaries to join! John also called out, and finally had to bow his head and sigh, and also dropped a silver coin and left.
Seeing this scene, Shen Fei didn't care about the miscellaneous service with the army, but was a little annoyed that he threw five silver coins to the boss at once, and the value of the currency here is strong, just see if you can gnaw meat and bones, but this is too wasteful, and I don't know where the money for the next meal is.
And not long after the three big men left, Shen Fei also finished gnawing his bones and was about to leave with ale, the door of the tavern was pushed open again, and the boss who originally wanted to greet him directly stiffened in place, because it was four royal guards in black armor who came in!
Shen Fei glanced at it and sighed helplessly, the other party really looked up to himself, and he actually directly sent four soldiers at the level of Black Iron Swordsman! With his current level as a great warrior, he was absolutely powerless to resist in the face of them. So when one of the black-armored swordsmen said coldly, "Mandela, come with us!", Shen Fei nodded very indifferently: "Okay, lead the way." He swaggered towards the gate. (To be continued......)
