Chapter 41 Recruitment Order

"Robinson, which one of you has contact with the barbarian tribe?"

Yifei counted the number of soldiers under his command in his mind, and then calculated in his mind, and found that his strength was somewhat lacking.At this time, looking at the white neutral villages on the map, he suddenly had an idea, so he asked.

Barbarian tribe?Robinson and others heard Yifei's inquiry, but no one came out to talk.

What a joke, who would contact those unreasonable savages? Those people are savages who draw their knives when they disagree with each other. They are even more difficult to deal with than those greedy nobles.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Yifei was immediately disappointed, so he asked suspiciously: "Haven't you dealt with barbarians in these years?"

"My lord, no one wants to deal with those savages, unless they don't want to live." Looking at Yifei's eyes, Robinson said helplessly.

"Yes, my lord, they don't make sense at all."

"It is rumored that they are also cannibals."

Hearing Robinson's return home, the remaining few people talked one after another.

"Hilary, you have more knowledge. Do you know any barbarians?" Hearing what some people said, Yifei asked helplessly to Hillary who was silent.

"My lord, the so-called barbarians are actually a collective term for those races that have not surrendered to the empire. They have their own culture and customs, just like the blood wolf clan. Before they surrendered to the empire, they were also a race among the barbarians. In the past time Here, they have been deceived too many times, so they are unwilling to trust strangers, and they are rarely willing to deal with people of other races." Hilary said respectfully.

After listening to Hillary's introduction, Yifei understood that the barbarians in this world are actually the same as in his previous world history, when people from areas with a higher level of civilization called people from areas with a lower level of civilization. .

Just like in the ancient Zhou Dynasty of China, the residents were divided into Huaxia and Siyi: the southern minorities were barbarians; the eastern minorities were barbarians; the western minorities were Rong; and the northern minorities were Di.

After understanding this, Yifei suddenly asked: "Hillary, if I want to hire some barbarian soldiers, can you have a way to contact them?"

Hire barbarian soldiers?Hearing Yifei's words, several people in the hall were stunned for a moment, this idea is a bit whimsical!
"My lord, this matter is a bit difficult. Now they don't trust the empire very much," Hilary said with some embarrassment.

Seeing Hilary's expression, Yifei smiled and said: "Difficult doesn't mean impossible, so why don't you ask the members of the blood wolf clan, since they are also a member of the barbarian tribe, they should also be able to do it with other barbarian tribes." A little connection!"

"Yes, my lord!"

After discussing the key issues, Yifei began to issue orders. First, he asked the crowd to select [-] to [-] people who were familiar with the local situation to go to Yefeng City to report.

Then let Hillary send the letter of appointment to the blood wolf clan to show his attitude, and at the same time tell him that the blood wolf clan must contact other barbarian tribes.

In the end, he ordered the other sheriffs under his command to return to the village, select some of the dead with high salaries to form a caravan, and go to the blood wolf clan in a high-profile way, but they can't bring a lot of goods each time.

And he also specially ordered that once they encounter dangerous things, they are allowed to drop the goods and escape.

Everyone was puzzled by his last order and looked at him with puzzled eyes.

Seeing everyone's doubts, Yifei simply said that they must give them an identity!As for whether everyone understood these words, he did not explain further.

Hehe, it would definitely not be good to spread the news about directly attacking the private army of the Malphite family, but if they were given the identity of thieves, it would make sense, at least they would not give people an excuse to attack the Wolf family, At most they think that the wolf family is at odds with the Malphite family.

After Marvin left Wild Wolf City angrily, he went directly to Maple Leaf Fortress, found his cousin Matt who worked in the logistics department of Maple Leaf Fortress, and angrily told about his experience in Wild Wolf City.

For a little knight who dared not betray the face of their Fengniao family, Matt was also very angry immediately, rolled his eyes, and thought of a way.

"Brother, don't be angry, since he is now the consul, it will be easy, we just need to" Matt said his thoughts.

Hearing Matt's words, Ma Wen's eyes lit up, he was very happy immediately, and said excitedly: "Haha, I'll go back to Yefeng City to contact other families, and then I will let that arrogant kid know that he has offended our Fengniao family." s consequence!"

After all, Marvin returned to Leaf City from Maple Leaf Fortress with his entourage, and at the same time a call-up order from Maple Leaf Fortress also appeared in front of Locke.

What, want to recruit a thousand knights from the wild wolf family?After Locke looked at the recruitment order in front of him, he couldn't believe it. What kind of joke is this? Recruiting a thousand knights from a family whose title is a knight is not in line with the rules of the empire at all.

Thinking of this, Locke directly sent an inquiry letter to Marshal Chauvin, the commander in Maple Leaf Fortress.

After a few days, Marshal Chauvin's reply letter arrived. After reading the reply letter, Locke couldn't find any reason at once, so he had to send the call-up order to Yifei himself, and was going to explain the reason to him at the same time.

By the way, provide some help, after all, he conferred that position to the Wild Wolf Clan!

In the autumn battle, in the name of the Imperial Army, I appoint you as the commander of the No.40 Seventh Legion Brigade of the Empire. Before next autumn, at least one knight brigade will be formed to come to the Maple Leaf Fortress to participate in the autumn battle. 【Signed: Duke Chauvin of Maple Leaf Fortress】

"Lord Earl, what's going on?" Looking at the call-up order sent by Locke, Yifei was a little puzzled, why the military department suddenly sent a call-up order to the Wild Wolf family.

Through this period of understanding, he also knows that, generally speaking, the military department rarely issues a call-up order to small families like him alone, and these small families usually join the local big families to participate in battles.

Hearing Yifei's question, Locke was a little embarrassed, and he said apologetically, "Brother Yifei, I'm actually to blame for this. I exaggerated the fact that you defeated the orc last time to help you win the title. A little bit, so let the military have some interest in you.

In addition, now that you are the consul of the Khajid Mountains, the military department can recruit you alone. "

I'll go, there's this deceitful thing!After hearing Locke's explanation, Yifei felt speechless.

But after thinking carefully about Locke's words, he became a little confused, and asked curiously, "My lord, is the consul in the Khajid Mountain area different from other consuls?"

Hearing Yifei's question, Locke smiled wryly and nodded.

"Brother Yifei, I'm sorry, I just wanted to make it up to you earlier, but who knew that there is such a special place for the governor of the Khajid Mountains, and now I don't know whether it is good or bad."

After listening to Locke's explanation, Yifei understood the specialness of the consul in the Khajid Mountains. Just as he had learned before, this official position was established to facilitate the communication between the empire and the barbarians in the Khajid Mountains.

At the same time, another task is to hire some barbarian warriors from the barbarians to participate in the annual autumn battle against the orcs. The number is not required to be a lot, just one brigade, and the purpose is still to win over the barbarians in the mountains.

A long time ago, this matter has been going smoothly. After participating in the battle every year, the barbarian warriors who saw the colorful world outside became the best propagandists when they returned to the tribe. Those races that surrendered to the empire developed in this way. of.

Since the barbarian riots more than 100 years ago, this official position has ceased to exist, and this matter has disappeared.

But now that this official position has been appointed again, according to the tradition of the empire, this matter will of course continue.

After understanding what was going on, Yifei directly stretched out a hand in front of Locke and said, "Bring it!"

"what?"

"Conscription orders and military expenses!"

"Military expenditure? What is military expenditure?"

"Doesn't it cost money to hire barbarians? Do we have to pay these expenses privately from the wolf family?" Looking at Locke's confused face, Yifei couldn't help but said nervously.

"Hahaha, so it's this, brother Yifei, you can rest assured that all these expenses will be paid by the empire. After the battle, the empire will double compensate you for all consumption, as clearly stated in the call-up order Clear." After understanding what was going on, Locke laughed and took out the call-up order and handed it to Yifei.

double!Doesn't that mean that the profit in the middle is huge.After Yifei heard Locke's words, his eyes lit up immediately, and he couldn't help but think in his heart.

At this time, he was a little strange again. Why is no one willing to do something that is obviously beneficial?So he expressed the doubts in his heart.

Hearing Yifei's question, Locke said with a wry smile: "If you have money, you have to spend your life. You need to exchange it with military merit. Those barbarians are a group of uncivilized people, and it is difficult to deal with them at all. , whether they can be hired is a problem.”

"Brother Yifei, if you really have no way to contact the barbarians, you can just randomly send a thousand farmers from the territory." Finally, Locke suddenly said softly.

That's okay too?Hearing Locke's words, Yifei couldn't help but look at him suspiciously.

"Hehe, as long as you are still the consul of the Khajid Mountains, then this kind of thing is what you say it is." Looking at Yifei's eyes, Locke said indifferently.

"Of course, you need to pay for this fee yourself!"

Uh. After listening to Locke's words, Yifei immediately understood that this is a counterfeit product from another world!
