When Li Jiawang brought 500 guards and 2,000 mercenaries, as well as 3,000 diners and 3,000 slaves, to the main hall of the castle, he saw the bearded Guo Ji and thousands of lord guards, who had been waiting here for a long time.
As soon as the bearded Guo Ji saw Li Jiawang arriving, he immediately led a few of his confidants, walked quickly to Li Jiawang, knelt down on one knee, and said respectfully, "See your lord," and thousands of lord guards behind him also stood alone.
Kneeling on their knees, they said in unison, "See you, Lord." This voice sounded like thunder in everyone's ears, surprising the people outside the castle. The castle that had not had a lord for more than ten years had a new owner, and they couldn't help but think in their hearts.
Looking at the bearded Guo Ji kneeling on one knee and thousands of lord guards, Li Jiawang just said lightly, "Get up!"
"Thank you Lord," Guo Ji replied together with the guards, and then immediately stood on both sides of the castle.
"Guo Ji, have you arranged the accommodation for 10,000 people and a large warehouse that I asked you to arrange?" Li Jiawang looked at Guo Ji and asked.
"Go back to the lord, the accommodation, food, and warehouse have been arranged. Please give me your instructions." Guo Ji immediately came out and said respectfully.
"Well done. You sent a few people to take my diners and slaves to eat and rest. At the same time, you also arranged a place for the brothers of the Silver Moon Mercenary Group to live and greet them with good wine and food. And you took them
Come with me to the castle hall with the guards!"
Li Jiawang ordered Guo Ji, and at the same time turned to Bill, the leader of the Silver Moon Mercenary Group, and said, "Commander, go to the parliament hall with me. I have something to discuss with you."
Under the leadership of Guo Ji, Li Jiawang and his party entered the castle and came to the hall. Although the castle and the hall were cleaned clean without a trace of blood, the faint smell of blood in the air also gave people a sense of oppression.
Captain Bill entered the hall and smelled the smell of blood. Judging from his decades of killing experience, there must have been a fight here two hours ago, so he couldn't help but look at Li Jiawang, because he had been here two hours ago.
Combined with the horrified look in the lord's guard's eyes when they looked at him, one knew that this murder must have been committed by him.
At this time, he was extremely shocked. The smell of blood here indicated that at least more than 100 people were killed or injured, and Li Jiawang only had 3 of them. Since he wanted to kill Li Jiawang, he knew without thinking that these more than 100 people were definitely not low-level warriors of level 1-2.
They were high-level dead soldiers, and as a result, they died while Li Jiawang and the other three were unscathed. It is conceivable that there must be a master among the three of them. Li Jiawang's mystery and power became even more profound in Bill's eyes.
In the parliament hall, Li Jiawang sat on the main seat, Andrew and the Four King Kongs stood behind him, while others sat on both sides.
Li Jiawang looked at the people in the audience and couldn't help but think, "Damn, I have finally become a real leader. From now on, I can give orders well instead of passively obeying them. Go attack His Majesty the King, I will save him."
If you want to live, just give me a poor place and 500,000 purple gold coins. What's even more outrageous is that I just got married and haven't even had my honeymoon yet, so you drive me away. Just wait and see, I will make you regret it..."
Seeing that everyone was staring at him and waiting for him to speak, he was distracted. He couldn't help feeling embarrassed and said quickly, "Captain Bill, thank you for your help this time so that we can reach the territory smoothly. This is a 100,000 gold coin."
The magic crystal card will be calculated as the employment fee for your group. As for the loot, I will give you your share after I dispose of it, but Captain Bill will have to wait here for a while." At the same time, he said from his arms.
He took out a magic crystal card and handed it to Bill.
Bill excitedly took the magic crystal card and quickly thanked him. They had paid for it for more than half a month and the lives of dozens of brothers.
Seeing Bill taking the magic crystal card, Li Jiawang continued, "Captain Bill, I want to hire your mercenary group for three months to maintain the security of the territory. During these three months, I will train a group of troops.
They will come to take over your team after they complete their training. Of course, I will not treat your group badly and let you work in vain. I will use 100,000 gold coins as the cost of this hiring. I wonder what Captain Bill would like?" Li Jiawang gave him such a good deal.
The treatment he received showed his intention to win over.
Bill thought, "The loot hasn't been sold yet, so I can't leave. Maintaining law and order is not a dangerous thing. There are still 100,000 gold coins to get. It seems that the lord wants to win over him. This lord has both money and strength and is worthy of seeking refuge."
Then he said, "Thank you Lord for taking care of me. Our mercenary group has taken on this task and we will never let you down."
Seeing that Bill was so understanding, Li Jiawang smiled and nodded to him, then turned to Guo Ji and asked, "Guo Ji, I asked you to raid Sargon's house, how did it go?"
"Back to your lord, I have put all of Sargon's family and servants into the dungeon. Their property and materials have also been inventoried and heavily guarded. They are waiting for your lord's instructions. This is the financial list that my lord has counted. Please take a look at it.
"Guo Ji said respectfully, and at the same time handed a ledger to Li Jiawang.
Li Jiawang was stunned when he took the account book and took a look at it. He was stunned by the numbers on the account book. He really didn't expect that Sargon could make so much wealth in this poor place. He really didn't know what he had deducted.
It took so much aid from the empire and so much harm to get so much property.
"Guo Ji, if you still remember the numbers on the ledger, tell everyone." Li Jiawang said to Guo Ji.
"My lord, my subordinates found a total of 1 million purple gold coins, 10 large boxes of treasures, 50 large boxes of magic cores, 1 million tons of grain, 200,000 pieces of armor, 100,000 acres of fertile land, and countless other materials at Sargon's house."
Guo Ji said excitedly that when he first started ransacking his home, he was shocked by so many gold coins and supplies. He also thought about swallowing it, but when he thought of the fate of Sargon and the more than 100 dead soldiers, he couldn't help but
I shuddered, immediately gave up the idea, and hurriedly sealed up the gold coins and supplies, out of sight and out of mind.
When everyone heard that there were so many gold coins and supplies, they were all surprised, with expressions of surprise on their faces.
Li Jiawang then said, "Guo Ji, tomorrow you will post a recruitment notice in the castle, saying that the castle will recruit 40,000 standing troops and 100,000 reserve troops. It will be on a voluntary basis and no forced recruitment will be allowed.
There are 40,000 standing troops, including 10,000 humans, half-orcs, barbarians, half-elves, and elves. Anyone selected as a standing army is exempted from all kinds of labor and taxes (except commercial taxes).
There is food and accommodation provided, and ten gold coins are available every month. However, every applicant must not leave the military camp for three months and accept the intensive training I have arranged for them. If they escape midway, they will be executed.
, the family was demoted to slavery.
The 100,000 reserve team, regardless of race, can be selected as long as they meet the recruitment requirements. Anyone selected as a reserve team will be exempted from all kinds of labor and food taxes, will be responsible for food and housing, and will receive 2 gold coins every month. However,
They must undergo a month of intensive training. After the training, those who perform well will join the standing army, and the rest will belong to the security team. From then on, they will train half a day every day and go out on the streets half a day to maintain law and order."
Guo Ji was very excited when he saw that he was valued by the lord. He felt that his time to be prosperous was coming soon. In order to show his loyalty and win Li Jiawang's trust, he quickly said to Li Jiawang, "Sir, the people around the castle are very poor and cannot even eat enough." It's a difficult thing. They would be thankful if they could have enough to eat. Your terms are too generous, and my subordinates thought that as long as they had enough to eat, there was no need to spend so many gold coins."
Li Jiawang glanced at Guo Ji, who was eager to show his loyalty, and knew that he wanted to please him and save gold coins for himself, and did not want to dampen his enthusiasm for thinking about himself, so he said gently, "I will not treat my subordinates badly. Their treatment is relatively good." Their efforts are not high at all. After their training is completed, the benefits of all qualified candidates will be doubled. As the territory develops, their benefits will become higher and higher.
Of course, I won’t treat you badly. This time you have done well in speculating. I will reward you one hundred thousand gold coins. As long as you serve me faithfully and make enough merit, I can even give you some elixirs that can increase the speed of Dou Qi cultivation, and An advanced fighting qi technique."
After hearing this, Guo Ji was overjoyed and immediately expressed his loyalty: "My subordinates must be loyal to serve the lord. The instructions of the lord are the goal of my struggle, and the direction pointed by the hand of the lord is the direction of my progress..."
"Pete, you will be responsible for the thousands of lord guards. Reintegrate them and conduct intensive training at the same time. Their abilities are too weak to protect the safety of the lord's mansion. At the same time, the defense of the lord's mansion is poor. I'll give you the Guards." Li Jiawang ordered Peter.
Peter stood up and said, "My lord, my subordinates will definitely protect the Lord's Mansion."
"Bai Qi, the 40,000 standing army will be handed over to you for training and command. Wang Hai and Guo Jia will hand over the 100,000 reserve force to you two for training and command. Tomorrow you three and Guo Ji will go to recruit troops." Li Jiawang He said to Bai Qi, Wang Hai and Guo Jia.
Bai Qi, Wang Hai, and Guo Jia immediately stood up and replied, "It's your lord. This subordinate will definitely live up to your trust."
"Do you have anything else to say? If not, go down and prepare!" dd
