Ou Da was about to protest, but he was pulled back by his father. The old man Ou Ke glared at his son fiercely: "You want to die. Do you feel that you have a different status as a deputy? How dare you question it? It’s the master’s decision...”
Ou Da hurriedly shook his head: "Dad, how can I dare to question the master? But why should half of these 10 places be given to the people in Shanxia Village? We have 11 young people, and they are all loyal to the master. Why do we need to recruit them? Those people with evil intentions." He said with anger behind him.
Oke slapped his son on the head fiercely: "You still said you dare not question the master. Aren't you just questioning the master... Shut up. Don't think about anything. Go to the assessment obediently. It is the right thing to become one of the five. "After saying that, he ignored his son. He looked at the old Orion Jack, and then looked at the two middle-aged tenants named Tebi. They all sighed and shook their heads.
Contrary to what Chen Shihao did when he led the people, the Shanxia villagers were stunned for a moment. Then they woke up and immediately cheered loudly. The young men rushed to Chen Shihao's side impatiently and counted their heads. Chen Shihao couldn't help but blink. The total number of people in Shanxia Village was There were only over a hundred people. There were actually thirty-five young men.
Didn't the last time the little devil attacked, only about twenty people were left dead? Why did he allocate 11 young men to himself? Now there are still so many. Look at the expressions of these young men. None of them showed any disgust towards anyone. Chen Shihao nodded. He probably went out to escape the battle with the demon because of something else. Otherwise, the villagers who fought bloody battles would never allow anyone who avoided the battle to stay among them.
Chen Shihao drew his sword and drew a straight line on the road. Then he held the kitten's head and whispered for a while. The kitten immediately understood and started running on the road.
Chen Shihao then said: "The kitten will stop at a certain section of the road ahead. You must go around the kitten to run back. Then the 30 people who pass this line first will enter the next round of assessment. Don't Cheating. My kitten is a level three monster. You can clearly identify who has not bypassed it."
The 46 young men who participated in the assessment. Everyone around them felt extremely relaxed when they heard this. They were just running. Growing up in this chaotic mountainous area, how could I have ever been afraid of running. So they followed Chen Shihao's order and all crowded in. On the other side of the line, after hearing Chen Shihao's order, he immediately rushed out in a chaotic manner.
Seeing these people disappear, Chen Shihao couldn't help but smile. This is just an appetizer. There are several levels to follow.
High-level monsters are legendary among the people. If there are hundreds of people, there will definitely be people who dare to risk stealing chickens. But now there are only dozens of people. That noble man's third-level monster can definitely remember everyone. So. These young and strong men all ran with all their might to the spot where the kitten was squatting in the middle of the road. They walked around the kitten and then rushed back with gritted teeth.
Mountain people have a lot of endurance, but unfortunately their explosive power is not long-lasting. So when everyone ran back and forth from several miles away, everyone was panting. Even some of them were not in good physical condition. They could only walk back with their legs in frustration. But these people didn't. Give up. Because everyone knows that there are 46 people participating in the assessment and 30 people are shortlisted. As long as they are faster than 16 people.
So my feet were numb, I couldn't breathe, and my heart was beating fast. Everyone was holding it back, because this was related to a monthly salary of 5 shillings, and it also included food and clothing. Not to mention the monthly salary. This alone was enough to make me suffer. How much money can I save for my family? So I can’t let this opportunity go even if I die.
The quota of 30 people was quickly generated. Those strong men in the back who only remembered to run were still running. But those who were not focused enough heard cheers from the crowd on the opposite side and knew that the number of people was enough. They lay on the ground dejectedly. Moved.
Chen Shihao looked at the panting young man and couldn't help but smile. It was no surprise that all eight young men who were born as hunters were shortlisted. But it was reasonable. Hunters who hunted wild beasts in the mountains all day long must be able to run better than farmers who cultivated in the fields. Apart from this, among the tenant farmers in the territory, only that young man was shortlisted.
Chen Shihao asked the family members of the applicants to help them walk slowly for a while. After letting their breathing stabilize, he said: "The 30 finalists will have extra meals tonight. Another assessment will be conducted tomorrow. Mountain climbing." After that, he went to practice with the kitten who had returned.
When they heard about mountain climbing, the eight hunters were naturally overjoyed, and the other 22 were naturally a little overjoyed. People in the mountains, whether they were farmers or something else, were simply joking if they didn't know how to climb mountains.
After a lively night, there was a mountain climbing competition the next morning. This time, only 20 were selected. 8 hunters and the young tenant farmer were shortlisted again. The other 11 places were naturally the villagers of the mountain gorge. With the idea of determining the candidates today, in the afternoon The last selection and fight took place.
After being divided into two groups to fight, just as Chen Shihao thought, the four oldest Orions such as Ou Da were shortlisted. And they were divided evenly. Ou Da, Ou Er, Jie Da, Jie Er were shortlisted. Two sons from the family. In the end Naturally, one of the quotas was given to the young tenant farmer.
Chen Shihao glanced at the two old hunters, Oak and Jack. Because during the competition, these two old guys called their children and grandchildren to murmur a few words. Later, during the fight, the hunters who were not shortlisted all kept their hands and wanted to pass. Is this a way to show that he has no ambition? Chen Shihao couldn't help but smile.
Looking at the 10 tough young men in front of him, Chen Shihao nodded and said: "Very good. From today on, you will be members of our Shanxia Guard. In order to reward you for your successful selection, now let's put this month's Pay the salary." Chen Shihao waved his hand. Tebi hurriedly carried a heavy bag up. The bag opened and a pile of silver coins was immediately revealed. The 10 young men who were selected immediately had their eyes shining and drooling. The villagers all clapped their hands in envy. As for those who were just one step away from being selected, they slapped themselves on the head in annoyance.
"5 shillings per person. I know you like to use change, so I went to the town to change it. Now everyone is 4 shillings, 15 pence, and zero after 50." Chen Shihao said while shouting: "Ou Da. Enter Come and get the money.”
Ou Da immediately ran forward and took a handful of coins from Chen Shihao's hand. He felt the settling in his palm. Ou Da only felt that the silver light in front of him was so dazzling. But he quickly reacted and immediately bowed respectfully and shouted Said: "Thank you, sir."
When he went down with the money, his wife and children immediately gathered around and helped him organize the coins while chatting excitedly. Although their family had no worries about food and clothing, they had never taken so many coins. And this was still It's only for one month. I'm really excited to get so many coins next month. I just feel like I'm following a good lord.
Chen Shihao personally handed the coins to 10 members of the guard. He initially gained the loyalty of these 10 people. Of course, the loyalty of the five territorial residents was obviously much higher than the loyalty of the five villagers. Because in the event of a disaster, Chen Shihao had the obligation to save himself. The lord has no obligation to rescue the villagers. If there is a struggle between the lords and the villagers, as long as it is not too excessive, the lord will always stand on the side of the lords.
"The equipment and identity tags will be issued below." Chen Shihao was very generous. He directly handed over the leather armor, iron sword, spear, bow and arrow that he had purchased at a large price. As well as a set of black adventurer clothing, a pair of boots, and a black Waist badges engraved with the name "Shanxia Guard" were handed out to each person.
As for those waist tags, Chen Shihao specially went to the town to ask someone to make them. Each one costs 1 shilling. Although the tags are made of wood, they are so expensive because the waist tags can prove identity with drops of blood. Only Chen Shihao This guy who is used to spending a lot of money would customize this kind of waist tag for ordinary people. Because this kind of waist tag is usually equipped by scouts. The fear is that the enemy will use it to pass false information.
As for Chen Shihao's waistband of lord status, hey, it is combined with the identity certificate certified by God. For the slave level, it costs 1 gold pound.
Chen Shihao did not hide it from everyone when he made the waist tag. Everyone already knew what kind of identity certificate was issued. So the team members who received the equipment immediately broke their fingers and bloodied the waist tag. Immediately a faint red light emitted. From now on, this waist badge will no longer accept blood from other people.
Then these 10 young men immediately changed their clothes with the help of family and friends. After a while, they were all in black, wearing leather armor, bows and arrows on their backs, iron swords on their left waists, and quivers on their right waists. Waistbands were swinging around their waists. Ten armed soldiers holding spears suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
Looking at these mighty soldiers, most of them felt jealous. Somehow, they felt a lot more at ease. But the hunter who was not selected and the sons of the hunters were all depressed. If they really wanted to fight, they still had He is qualified to compete for one of the five places. But there is no way. The old man in the family insists. As for the place to replace his father, don't even think about it. Otherwise, your butt will be smashed. Oh, what a pity. Anyway, there is no limit on the number of places in the Noble Guard. Why? Why don't you get 20 quotas? 15 quotas are fine. Then you can have such majestic equipment.
Looking at the guards lined up in two rows, Chen Shihao nodded with satisfaction: "Very good. Now I am announcing a decision. There will be running, fighting, and archery competitions in 10 days. The top two with the best results will win. The position of corps commander. Not only does the corps commander supervise four people, he also has a monthly job allowance of 1 shilling."
The 10 guardsmen immediately burst into fierce passion. There were only two positions for corps commanders and officers. Everyone regarded each other as enemies. Originally Ou Da and Ou Er, Jie Da and Jie Er wanted to take both corps commander positions. After returning home, when I thought of the old man's warning, I realized that there was only one corps leader position on the leader's side. Naturally, the two brothers became competitors and there was no room for friendship.
After everyone absorbed the news, Chen Shihao said again: "There is one more thing. In addition to job subsidies, my guard also has level subsidies. That is, as long as you produce a valid warrior certificate, you can get the corresponding For example, the first-level warriors receive 1 shilling per month, the second-level warriors receive 2 shillings per month, and so on to the fourth-level warriors." At this point, Chen Shihao paused deliberately. It's just that all the people below are self-aware. .No one said a word.
