On the afternoon of February 9th, autumn of the 5th year of the Magic Calendar, two young swordsmen who had experienced a lot of work came to a military camp outside the south gate of the imperial capital. There were two corps of young swordsmen on duty outside the military camp. The two corps commanders were stunned for a moment.
He immediately rushed forward enthusiastically: "Hey...it's you two guys. How come you sneaked back before your shift? Are you not afraid that the team leader will spank you?" As he spoke, the young man stuck out his tongue.
The two teenagers had obviously walked a long way. They wiped the dust on their faces tiredly, and while taking the water handed to them, they said anxiously: "Deputy Commander of the Express, and Horns, we saw
The regimental commander, he wrote a letter to the deputy commander, and it is here with us."
The ten young mercenaries on duty suddenly exploded, and several young people rushed over excitedly. Some called them captain, some called them brother Amy, and some called them idols. In short, they all called them anything.
Two teenagers ran back, shouting as they ran: "Deputy Captain...Deputy Captain, there is news about Brother Amy!"
The young swordsman mercenaries who were training on the right side immediately lost their formation. Several instructors invited from the Colorful Dragon Knights watched helplessly as hundreds of teenagers exploded the camp in front of them. The one who rushed to the front and took the lead was actually the big one.
Ling Yun, captain of the Swordsman Battalion.
There were many people in the small mercenary meeting hall. In addition to the major cadres of the small mercenary group, Chi Hanfeng slipped out from the Red Stone Emperor at noon, and Earl Lin also came from the imperial military headquarters to see his daughter.
The Magister recently moved to live in a small mercenary group as an excuse to teach young mercenaries magic. Anyway, there is still an empty house when Amy is gone, so the master living in the apprentice's house should be regarded as the apprentice's blessing.
In the past few months, the two core members of the small mercenary group have been away from home, and the atmosphere in the small mercenary group is a bit wrong. When Lei Ge knew that Lu'er had not returned for several months, and it was much past the date when the Dragon King sent the letter.
, the old magician immediately went to the Imperial Capital Library to check out a lot of information. After returning, he definitely explained to the other cadres of the small mercenary group: Lu'er's trip will take at least a year. If nothing else, Dragon God Xin
The time written on it is the time of the Dragon Realm. The Dragon Realm is at least one level higher than the mortal world of the Creation God. Therefore, one month in the Dragon Realm is equal to one year in the Creation God Realm. If Lu'er went to the Dragon Tower in the Dragon Realm
, then, I am afraid that everyone will never have the chance to see Lu'er again in this life. A day there is a year in the creation of the world of gods.
Hearing the shout, everyone except Lei Ge rushed out. The old mage sighed slightly and shook his head helplessly. This is probably the so-called leadership style, and this style only exists among brave warriors, no matter how great they are.
It is also difficult for a magician to have such great appeal.
Daqingshan took Amy's letter from the hands of the two young swordsmen. Just as he was about to read it, Chi Hanfeng snatched it away. The letter was very short, and Chi Hanfeng's face became extremely ugly almost instantly.
, then handed the letter to Da Qingshan and Horns casually, and returned to the small room with a dark face. Horns took the letter with a smile, and said: "It's not easy for the leader to give it to my family these days."
Write a letter, but I guess there is no danger. Everyone can do whatever they need to do. What are you doing around here? I will inform everyone of the captain's news later." While leading everyone towards the hall with an unchanging expression, the young mercenary group's
The senior cadres were not fools. Except for a few deputy captains, the others had a good laugh and returned to their respective teams.
As soon as a few people arrived in front of the house, they heard two seniors humbly giving each other credit.
The one with the loudest voice was undoubtedly Earl Chi: "Look, look, Lei Ge, what kind of disciple are you teaching? Just when you encounter something like this, you become a deserter. If this is on the battlefield, I will -
-Crack--cut his head off with a click."
"Who are you talking about? Don't keep picking on me with your little eyes and rebelling against heaven? What did the sage say: 'If a son is unfilial, it is his father's fault; if his teaching is not strict, it is his teacher's laziness.' He ran away like this for the sake of feelings,
Tell me, am I being lax or unfilial?" The old magician was not anxious at all and took advantage of his age and seniority to slowly scold the junior.
"Of course this is not unfilial!" Chi Hanfeng tilted his neck and talked back to the mage.
"Is this filial piety? From Dali, there is a war ahead. From your father to you to me, we are always in danger of going to the battlefield. When he arrives, he just throws his hands and leaves? Is this filial piety? From Xiaoli,
:'There are three ways to be unfilial, the worst is to have no heirs.' You don't even want your wife, is this called filial piety? Also, aren't you quite capable? I heard that if we go back 20 years, you wouldn't be the first in the imperial capital.
A gardener? How come you didn’t take care of Amy at all? You can’t run away even if you say this is a lazy teacher.” Your Majesty the Magister’s mouth was even sharper.
"What do you mean by that? What do you mean by the number one gardener in the Imperial Capital? Not long ago, I gave up my spot in the Fourth Level District to a captain in the Imperial Gyeonggi Theater. If I really are..." Chi
When Han Feng saw his apprentice opening the door and coming in, a red cloud flashed across his face very quickly.
"Come on..." The old magician didn't save face for Count Chi at all: "How many bad things did you do in the fourth level back then? Are you afraid that if you go there and encounter that year..."
"STOP!" Marquis Chi jumped down from his chair: "I won't talk to you any more about this issue. Whose problem it is? Just know it yourself."
At this time, the other teenagers began to read the letter, and their faces became extremely embarrassed. From the moment the little mercenary group was born, they never left Amy. Amy didn't feel anything when she was at home.
After being away for three or four months for the first time, many mercenary cadres deeply realized that different people have their own strengths.
It turns out that everyone basically manages their corresponding mercenary camp, and Amy takes the lead in the overall situation. In the past four months, everything has been in chaos. Both Daqingshan and Horns are facing a larger scale than before.
The small mercenary group was twice as small as it was in its heyday and was almost helpless. According to Da Qingshan: "If the leader does not come back, the small mercenary group will definitely go bankrupt due to poor capital turnover." As for the leader of the small mercenary group,
Horns, who had been eager to take the throne, faced the big hydrangea thrown by the acting leader sincerely and said: "If you don't raise a child, you don't know the kindness of your parents." Then he grabbed the door and ran away.
Old Lei Ge read the letter, casually dropped a sentence, and left the table with his sleeves fluttering: "This... sons have always taken the place of fathers. In fact, the other way around might be more appropriate."
The cadres of the small mercenary group cheered. The pain and suffering in the past few months had made these little guys miserable. They didn't expect that Jiang was still hot when he was old. Lei Ge woke everyone up with one sentence.
Looking at the expectant looks of many juniors, especially Horns muttered: "The president of the small mercenary group has left. If the company's board of directors does not implement the chairman's responsibility system, I estimate that the small mercenary group will definitely suffer from capital turnover.
It went bankrupt." Chi Hanfeng's wry smile became even heavier.
Finally, under the unanimous request of many senior cadres of the mercenary group, Chi Hanfeng began to plan the overall situation within the small mercenary group, and made three chapters: "First of all, we will not go to the mercenary guild to correct the name of the group leader (maybe Amy will come back
"
Da Qingshan and Horns exchanged glances. It sounds like there is a murderous intention behind the last clause - you can do whatever you want. Doesn't this become a contract of betrayal? Alas... I'm afraid this time I'll be sent to your door to be cooked.
"Da Qingshan, how much money does the small mercenary group have now?" As soon as the question came out, many cadres of the small mercenary group were very pleased. The earl had a good grasp of the situation. The new leader of the small mercenary group was indeed
Extraordinary shots.
"Uncle Chi, it seems that there were still 150,000 gold coins on the books yesterday. Although the Imperial Military Department provided us with some food and salary, in fact, the salary of the mercenary group is more than 50% higher than that of the Imperial Army for the same arms. Moreover, we have to take care of a large number of people.
Livestock. At this rate, we will not have any food surplus in three months." Daqingshan has been crying to sleep every night holding his account books, and he knows everything about the account books.
Regarding feelings, it turns out that someone as simple as Da Qingshan doesn’t really miss Amy, but is about to be forced to have sex.
"Heh...heh..." The middle-aged man laughed maliciously: "I have made the decision. All 150,000 gold coins will be distributed to all the mercenaries. Starting from the day after tomorrow, they will not go to work or assemble for two weeks.
, everyone is on holiday!”
ah?
Everyone in the hut wondered if they had heard wrongly? The group was so strapped for funds now, yet Earl Chi still said such a thing.
Chi Hanfeng glared at Da Qingshan: "What are you doing here, can you have a baby? Why did you promise me just now? Hurry, send it out now! If you don't agree, come on, come on, just keep sitting in this position.
"
"Yes." Da Qingshan weakly agreed. If he is not in his position, he will not seek his own government. As long as he doesn't worry about it, it's okay.
Horns pulled him from behind and whispered to Da Qingshan as he walked out: "Don't worry, the monk can't escape from the temple if he runs away. If we are really too poor, we can go to the Duke's Mansion to feed him. You won't
How can you get to the Duke's Palace if you don't know it?"
Chi Hanfeng watched many teenagers muttering and walking out viciously, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his lips.
The teenagers of the small mercenary group were suddenly declared on holiday. Although most of the teenagers had lived outside the imperial capital for a long time, the children never had the chance to leave the camp - Amy, Da Qingshan, Chi Aotian, and Horns had been
They have lingering fears about the security environment in the Imperial Capital. The four top cadres are often invited to attend banquets in the Imperial Capital. Every time, different women, especially some widows, show their favor and tamper with them, causing Amy and Horns to often murmur: "The Imperial Capital"
Beautiful women are tigers, and such tigers are the most powerful." The teenagers were not allowed to go out casually.
This release, especially the new top leader, was so kind that he gave nearly a hundred gold coins to everyone at once. When have children from poor families seen so much money? The long-planned plan to buy things for the family can finally be implemented.
As soon as Count Chi Hanfeng took over, he received unanimous praise from the members of the mercenary group - oh, let me add, it was unanimously negative among the senior cadres of the mercenary group.
The teenagers formed gangs and put on the best clothes. For children from poor families, when are they willing to spend money to buy clothes? The so-called best clothes are actually the "Imperial Knight" noble uniforms issued to the teenagers by the Red Stone Emperor.
out.
Even though they were in the imperial capital, ordinary people had never seen groups of twenty or thirty-year-old imperial nobles in their teens rushing past with smiles on their faces, breaking into one shop after another and buying various items for their relatives far away in the ice and snow continent. They were puzzled.
There was no shortage of curious people asking about it - of course, all of this fell into the money-collecting steps or trap of His Excellency Count Chi Hanfeng.
Of course, such interesting news quickly spread from the lower Liba people to the circles of the imperial aristocracy, and became the most fashionable gossip at the moment.
The earl remained calm and let everyone in the empire know the two biggest benefits of becoming a member of a small mercenary group. The first is that any member of the group has great military exploits, and at worst he is an imperial knight; the second is that he is rich.
, few merchants have seen groups of imperial soldiers buying things with just a few gold coins.
Ten days later, Scambrai suddenly broke a big news: "The Empire's First Mercenary Regiment is recruiting new members from the Gyeonggi region!"
With the power in hand, it is not difficult to do things.
The most powerful figure in the Gyeonggi region of the empire used his power to put up recruitment announcements for Douda on the eight giant city gates of the empire; then, the imperial nobles and officials in the Gyeonggi region received the red-skinned notices delivered to their door one after another.
The recruitment standards are introduced in detail above; the mercenary guild not only used the guild system to send out this news, but also provided recruitment details for many mercenaries at a preferential price of 1 silver coin; in the end, the earl personally came forward and convened the Scambredi
A Congress of Toilet Administrators issued a brush to each administrator, requiring them to write recruitment information in front of their toilet pits. If they did not follow the rules, the Earl would personally issue an order banning all toilets.
The Royal Guards, the Colorful Dragon Knights, and the Swordsman Battalion will relieve themselves in this toilet, or they will not pay for it, and they will poop all over the place.
Four major messaging systems simultaneously carpet-bombed an ad, and the effect was staggering.
The performance of the small mercenary group in the past few days has been obvious to all. As soon as the news of the recruitment spread, the first to be excited were the imperial nobles.
According to the imperial nobility system, even for nobles from well-known imperial families, the title can only be passed on to the eldest son. It is already good for other children to have the title of imperial nobles, and there is no need to think about being promoted to a title, let alone owning a territory. Not long ago, many nobles declined.
I want to send my children to the small mercenary group, but unfortunately, Amy and Chi Aotian (the words of the current CEO of the small mercenary group) are too strict, and most of them have not even passed the interview.
It was brushed off. There will undoubtedly be more opportunities this time.
Equally excited are the ordinary citizens of the empire. It is really rare to find a good job. There are too few places like the small mercenary group where you can get a noble title and make a lot of money.
Of course, there are also friends of the same profession. The news has just been released and all mercenary groups have to face a reshuffle. Mercenaries are still different from soldiers. There is no clear time limit between individuals and groups. As long as it is not before or after a battle,
The contract can be terminated at any time. In this way, the olive branch studded with gems floats in the air, and anyone who opens their eyes will be firmly attracted.
The original text of the message released by the Earl is as follows.
Dear young heroes: In order to better serve the empire and provide better mercenary services to the citizens of the empire, the small mercenary regiment has decided to hold the only large-scale recruitment of mercenaries since its establishment.

Swordsman Camp is worth 5 silver coins for a single subject test and 8 silver coins for other single subject tests. Note: You can register for multiple classes at the same time. If they all pass, the applicant can choose at will.
Chi Hanfeng certainly could not have imagined that a few names he casually made up in order to make more money would become the special names of the various battalions of the small mercenary group a year later, and they would soon have their own bloody battle flags.
Like most empires, the Red Stone Emperor and the previous emperors also paid great attention to hiding wealth from the people, especially in the imperial capital and the Gyeonggi region. Taxes in these areas are extremely low, and some industries even have no taxes at all. The imperial staff has fixed funds and regular
Contribute to lower prices and develop handicrafts and other commercial industries. Compared with other areas, the residents near the imperial capital can be said to be extremely wealthy.
Regarding the open recruitment of the small mercenary group, the residents of the Imperial City were attracted by it in almost half an hour. The age group of 12 to 25 years old accounts for more than 30% of the residents of the Imperial City, and many residents of the Imperial City have 3 to 5 children in their homes.
Children, including many with whole families, signed up.
The ordinary members of the small mercenary group were obviously not mentally prepared for such a situation. They saw the overwhelming crowd rushing forward. In the end, His Excellency Chi Aotian had no choice but to summon Yao Lilong and ordered the residents of the Imperial City in mid-air to register in order.
Line up, otherwise you will be directly eliminated - unfortunately... Chi Aotian forgot one thing, the water can be dredged, but it cannot be blocked. He rode on the dragon in such a swagger, how could the enthusiastic crowd know that he was here to threaten, and why?
Thinking that he was recruiting soldiers for the small mercenary group, the enthusiastic crowd kept cheering, setting off waves of people. The passionate girl shouted loudly from below: "Handsome guy, handsome guy, I love you, like a mouse loves you
Rice!" While blowing countless kisses to the red-faced Chi Aotian, the brave and unyielding second young master of the Chi family was so frightened that he hid back in the Duke's Mansion.
Three hours later, the outer city wall of the imperial capital was completely surrounded by a queue of people who had signed up - and the applicants lined up in three lines in total.
According to subsequent statistics, during the five-day registration period, at least 400,000 people signed up in the imperial capital and around Gyeonggi Province. The small mercenary group collected more than 40,000 gold coins for the registration fee of 1 silver coin per person. During the five days, the registration site picked up more than 400,000 gold coins.
Arrived: 18,987 pairs of glasses (Small Mercenary Group does not accept myopia-except if you are willing to wear a pair of contact lenses of the brand recommended by Xiao Mercenary Group); 8,532 belts; 28,653 pairs of shoes, of which 9,752 can be made into a pair, for
The small mercenary group has provided free shoes for more than half a year; a sack of coins, equivalent to 3874 gold coins; 741 kilograms of buttons; 283 children...
For more than 10 days after that, all members of the small mercenary group were given the title of leader and deputy leader and went to various assessment sites for assessment. Several older members were also forced to wash their hair with lime water and use cigarette ash.
The only purpose is to make myself older and more like the Chief Magician of the Empire.
Lei Ge looked at the members of the small mercenary group whose faces were streaked with sweat, and he was so angry that he fainted - Chi Hanfeng had no choice but to curse, "You are cunning and cunning. You can't do your job without working hard."
Once again, I applied make-up to each of the little mercenary members.
On the first night of recruitment, Horns asked Daqingshan in a low voice how much money he had received. Daqingshan looked at the account book in his hand and whispered a number. Horns' eyes almost popped out of his sockets.
The dwarves never imagined that one day's assessment fee would exceed the average monthly income of the Silver Snow Wolf Mercenary Group.
Tsk tsk, Horns kept talking. Now it seems that there are too many ways to make money. You must not think that if you are a mercenary group, you must deduct a small profit from the commission.
On the afternoon of the fourth day, just when several cadres of the small mercenary group were worried that there was no extra space to pile gold coins in the mercenary group's warehouse, new trouble came in a completely new way.
