He said to the lottery king Roniel: "After tonight, I will have 2,000 dinars, all of which will be given to you."
"This is not enough for what I borrowed last time."
"Don't worry, I will be very rich next time."
"Baron, where do you get your confidence?"
"Do you still remember that down-and-out boy who came to your place before? He is a business talent, and now he helps me with things."
"This is really funny. A down-and-out boy helps a down-and-out baron, hahahahaha."
Seeing the queen Ronnel laughing so hard and leaning forward and backward, Russell couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. How often had he been so cash-strapped?
After a while, Queen Luo Nier also became serious and said:
"Okay, Baron, I will trust you again. I won't take away the 2,000 dinars yet. When the time comes, you will pay me back together, but you have to pay me back double~"
"Double!? Damn it, then when the time comes, I will use myself to pay off the debt."
"Baron, how much are you worth?"
Ronnel, the queen of pumping, took his handsome face in her hands and pinched it back and forth, as if she was playing with some kind of treasure.
"Pull...pull, stop rubbing my face, it's going to be swollen."
"Well, your handsome appearance is worth some money. It would be quite suitable for you to be a bartender here and act as a duck to the rich women."
Hearing this, Russell also laughed and continued:
"Okay, to be honest, I need your mercenaries. As you know, the two kingdoms of Swadia and Kugit are at war, and I am in an urgent situation now."
"For 2,000 dinars, I can give you 50 level 2 tavern mercenary veterans, or 25 level 3 advanced soldiers. Tell me, which one do you want?"
After a second thought, Russell changed the topic and said: "According to what you said, you can actually give me 75 people?"
"Are you here for this robbery? Last time you robbed a robber's cave, and now you want to rob my tavern? Are you addicted, Baron?"
Luo Nier's blood pressure instantly rose when she smoked, and the veins on her forehead almost popped out.
"Dancai, I will give you 4,000 dinars to hire these 75 soldiers. Adding the previous 3,000, the total is 7,000. I will personally bring the money to repay you within a month."
"Hey, Baron, this is not a small amount of money. What if you can't pay it~"
"I will definitely pay it forward. I pledge my title of earl and the right to rule the town of Uxhall and its three subordinate villages as collateral!"
After saying that, Drasel took out from his arms the letter of appointment and seal that had been given to him by the previous king of Swadia, Harlaus X.
Smoking queen Ronnier saw that he was not joking. Looking at his serious look, she thought he was a bit handsome~
"There is no need for a mortgage. Your words are enough. I believe in you. I will give you 77 people! You can take them away now!"
"77? Who are the other 2?"
Queen Ronnel looked not far away and said loudly:
"Xiao Nan, Xiao Jia, from now on, you are no longer my bodyguards. I want you to obey Drasser!"
"As you command, Dracelle, from now on your enemies will be our enemies, my life is my life, my blood is my blood!" The two men responded in unison.
"Dangdang, thank you, these two brothers are very reliable."
"Next time you come, bring 7,000 dinars. Also, you have to sing "Princess" for me again."
Drasel raised the corners of his mouth, smiled, and replied: "No problem, my princess, the Emperor."
Next, Russell arranged for Xiao Nan and Xiao Jia to select 50 level 2 tavern mercenary veterans and 25 level 3 tavern mercenary light cavalry.
Just when Xiao Jia and Russell passed by, he suddenly discovered that Xiao Jia had become much stronger recently.
After using the system to check, I was surprised to find that Xiao Jia had also been upgraded to a level 4 tavern mercenary knight, and he could be said to be on an equal footing with Xiao Nan.
"Well, this trip was really fruitful, and I unexpectedly got two level 4 tavern mercenary knights, which is really good!" Drasel said to himself happily.
After a long time, the troops were ready and packed up, waiting for Russell's instructions.
"Xiao Nan! 25 level 3 tavern mercenary light cavalry are under your command! Xiao Jia! 50 level 2 tavern mercenary veterans are under your command!"
"As you command, my master." The two brothers nodded respectfully.
Russell got on his horse. The strong traveling horse under his crotch was much bigger than the previous one, and his speed and physical strength were definitely better.
After thanking Emperor Luo Nier again, he issued an order to the 77-man troops behind him:
"Okay, let's go back to Uxhall!"
Two days later…
The early morning sun rises slowly, hanging over the top of the Calradia continent, releasing its heat and power.
de la Serre's troops had already marched to Uxhall.
The guard under the main gate, the Swadia recruit, was stunned by the scene in front of him.
"Good morning, my master, where did you... get so many soldiers?"
Russell was too lazy to explain and pretended to be mysterious: "Hahaha, didn't you hear what Safiya said? I have magic, magic~"
The troops marched into the town in great numbers, and Russell took them to the soldiers' resting place, where Awang was exercising.
The keen Awang had already felt that a large number of well-trained soldiers had entered the town, but there was no noise or noise, so he judged that they were not enemy troops.
However, he was really shocked by the elite troops of more than 70 people!
"My distinguished master, where are you from..." Awang was about to ask when he suddenly saw two familiar figures. They turned out to be Xiao Nan and Xiao Jia.
"Long time no see. How are you, Awang." Xiaonan was the first to say hello.
"It turns out that the Queen Luo Nier helped us. She is really kind and righteous. Hello, Xiao Nan and Xiao Jia!"
Seeing that they had a good relationship, Russell felt relieved. He ordered: "The three of you must learn to cooperate. After all, your tactics and playing styles are different."
What Russell said is true. Awang is a Kujit mounted archer. He wears light armor and is good at guerrilla and long-range damage.
Xiao Nan and Xiao Jia are both medium-sized melee knights, armed with short swords and bucklers. The light cavalry under their command are also focused on melee combat.
As for the 50 level 2 veterans hired by the tavern, some of them are good at using crossbows and bows, and some are warriors with long swords and spears. Their levels vary.
"Awang, go and select the archers and crossbowmen among the veterans. You will take command! Xiao Jia is in charge of the remaining veterans. Xiao Nan, I will leave the light cavalry to you."
"As you command, my master." The three of them answered in unison.
"You only have about a day of training and running-in time. I think the enemy will be coming soon. Now I want to go to the Lord's Hall. Don't delay." After arranging all this, Russell hurried to the Lord's Hall.
