Lord of Lowland

Chapter 128 Employment of Soldiers

The strong man on the opposite side was stunned for a long time when he heard Cecil's words, and finally said slowly: "There have been no Corian knights for a long time, and now Uncle Corian is in front of you, son, you want to buy uncle a drink ?"

As soon as Cecil heard it, he knew that the person in front of him was the person Count Kasikud asked him to find. Cecil said to the other party unceremoniously: "Whether it's the Knight of Corian or Uncle Corin, I The imagined Corian is a warrior who is powerful on the battlefield, not the idiot he is now.

Hearing Cecil's words, the strong man flew into a rage, and the drunkenness on his face disappeared completely, replaced by a look of anger: "Where did you come from, you bastard, you came to tell the uncle three times after eating milk for a few days. Say four." As he spoke, Corian waved his hand towards Cecil.

Based on Corian's thinking, with a wave of his holy level strength, this paladin who is only level 7 would have to be beaten back a few steps by himself, and it is not impossible to directly beat him with poor foundation.In the end, what he didn't expect was that his arm was caught in mid-air. He tried hard to break free from the opponent, but he found that Cecil's hand was like a pliers. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't Can't break free.

It can be said that he was completely sober from the wine at this moment. He looked at Cecil carefully, and couldn't figure out how this paladin who was only level 7 could have such powerful power.Could it be the legendary Chosen One?After thinking about it, he immediately ruled out this idea. The chosen one is not a Chinese cabbage. It is not bad to have one in an era, but this power is indeed real, which really puzzled him.

Corian didn't stop, and punched with the other hand as if this Cecil had punched him. This time, he exhausted all his strength, but he was still punched halfway by the opponent's other hand from the front. The son caught it.Now that Corian was embarrassed, both hands were firmly grasped by the other party, neither advancing nor retreating, nor was it unusually awkward, Corian's face turned red all of a sudden.

Cecil went on to say: "I have already engraved my address on your wooden door. If you are interested, come to my residence tomorrow afternoon to find me. If you want to continue living like this, then all of you As you please!" After saying that, Cecil shook his hands hard and walked away.

Corian staggered after being thrown by Cecil, and when he stood up again, Cecil was nowhere to be seen.

Looking at the place where Cecil went away, Corian fell into deep thought.

After returning home from the slums where Corian lived, Cecil reported the good news to everyone in the place. Everyone was very excited, even Anne, who had never cared about fame and fortune, was very happy. Cecil Every bit of progress I made made her feel happy.And Sanders was even more overjoyed. Seeing that Cecil had crossed the ranks of nobles, it seemed that he was not wrong in pressing Depot back then.The old butler, Akat, was even more excited and burst into tears, repeatedly saying that the master was blessed by the spirit of heaven.

Only Bosa, the master alchemist, was indifferent to this. He grew up in a very special environment, and he was probably not familiar with all the fame and fortune in the world.So I don't have any idea about things like barons and nobles.

Cecil asked Sanders about how to build a guard army that night. After all, Sanders had also been the commander of the field regiment back then. It is not right to kill the undead in seconds, but Saunders should be familiar with the process and methods of building a team.Sure enough, Sanders suggested that Cecil go to the Mercenary Guild tomorrow to hire a group of long-term mercenaries.

Generally speaking, mercenaries are the only way for newly appointed nobles. Generally speaking, the soldiers of the nobles are selected from the people in their own territories, but now Cecil is blind to his own territory, and My territory is in an area where humans and orcs are fiercely competing, and I don't know how many people can live there. It is obviously impossible to think about building an army after arriving at the station.

The other entrusted barons today are almost all the second sons of great nobles. With the support of the family, of course, one can bring a relatively powerful armed force into the new territory.And for someone like Cecil whose boss is completely weak and can only rely on himself, looking for mercenaries is the best choice.But Sanders euphemistically said that mercenaries must have a lot of money as their backing. He had some estimates of Cecil's financial resources, and he was afraid that Cecil's assets could not afford to hire too powerful mercenaries.

Cecil smiled at this and said nothing. He didn't know that Cecil was a rich man with a worth of 800 million gold coins at this time. If the amethyst crystals on his body were counted, he could even sell for tens of millions of gold coins. He is now an out-and-out rich man, a rich man.

Early the next morning, Cecil went to the auction house first, and deposited all the exquisite works of art obtained from the Thunderbird King's treasury a few days ago to the auction house for auction. In Cecil's eyes, these things cost nothing. It's not worth it, but it can be exchanged for real gold and silver. Naturally, the sooner it can be realized, the better. As for the rare energy body such as amethyst crystal, he plans to keep it for a while to see if there is any other use in the future. Exchange them all for money.

Cecil left the auction house and went straight to the Mercenary Union. When he arrived here, he discovered that since the Battle of the Devil's Gate, the royal family and various nobles were in short supply, and the price of mercenaries had also risen. Soldiers above level 50, Even for ordinary fighters who don't have any temple professions, the price has reached a terrifying 100 gold coins a day. As for the stronger fighter Cecil, he can't see the price at all because there are no more.Basically, all the professional fighters who have been blessed by the gods have been hired away. No matter how rich you are, you can’t hire them. Cecil has no choice but to hire all the remaining 10 ordinary fighters at level 50. The price of 1000 gold coins a day The expenses simply made him bleed with distress. You must know that when he was a knight, his annual income was only 5000 gold coins.

After hiring these combat forces, Cecil was about to leave the mercenary guild. Just as he was about to leave, a voice came from behind: "Isn't the boss going to hire us?" Cecil turned around and saw that it was with him Rekel and Elvira, a young couple who have experienced adventures together.Cecil never expected to see this young couple here, so he smiled and said, "So it's you, I can't afford the price."

"The two of us pack, 1000 gold coins a day, what does the boss think?" Rekel said with a smile.
