There is a tall pine tree in the small square in the middle of Green Pine Town.
Under the tree, there were several men dressed as soldiers who gathered together to say something. One of the soldiers was pulling a rope hanging from the tree and was ringing the bell of Dangdang.
The townspeople came out of the house one after another and walked to the tree in the small square. Some people simply climbed up the surrounding roofs and walls. Several people in front of the big tree were surrounded by water.
Several people in Xiao Chen also wore cloaks and mixed in the end of the crowd, quietly observing what would happen.
When the people in the town are all together. A butler-like man stood up and told everyone that Baron Croto announced important things today.
Baron Croto is a middle-aged man in armor. His hair and eyebrows are pale. He looks more than sixty years old. He touched his beard and talked. He was full of breath and his voice was loud: "My lord Greenwood City The Duke is about to start a war. You do n’t have to fight who fights, why, and how. You just need to know that our town will have 20 people serving 30 days. Every adult has to pay half For the war on silver guns, each child pays five copper shield taxes. The family that surrenders can be exempted from tax, and can get two silver coins in return. However, it must be strong enough for me to be a lad. "
Xiao Chen found that the faces of these people were very ugly. According to this tax collection standard, a family of three must pay a silver gun plus five copper shields. Such a sum of money is enough to save the family a month. Too. If there are still old people in the family, or if there are several children, it is really worse.
But although the following people are extremely dissatisfied in their hearts, they dare to speak out. The baron's triangular eyes swept across the faces of everyone, no one dared to stare at him, and bowed his heads one after another.
Baron Croto seemed to be very satisfied with the response of these people. He added: "If the mercenaries present are willing to serve as people in our Green Pine Town, they can also get two silver coins from me. Your strength provides an additional hiring fee. The lower tier can get an additional hiring bonus for a gold axe, the intermediate tier can get an hiring bonus for five gold axes, and the mage has an additional subsidy. "
The baron did not increase his rank because the high-ranking mercenaries were so rare that they could never appear in his small town.
He patted a young knight beside him: "Sir Turck came from Green Pine City with enough gold coins."
No one registered at the scene, nor did the baron and Sir Turk stay too long and left here directly. Xiao Chen looked at their back for a long time.
The next morning, he and Roger and Evelyn came to the Baronial Palace.
There is also a big gap between the baron and the baron. The baroque Kloto is much worse than Baron O'Farrel in terms of strength and power. His home is just a slightly larger house.
Seeing the baron and his only son, Xiao Chen was confident that he could defeat the people in the whole house by himself. This is a kind of strong man's intuition. He couldn't help feeling a little. From the beginning, his various strengths were inadequate. He only fought his life by gambling, and finally he could bully others on some occasions.
"Tree Seed Mercenary Corps?" Baron Croto slightly stunned at the strange name.
"You can think of this as the hobby of the dark elves, any name and tree will bring good luck." Xiao Chen today has brown hair and fuchsia eyes, thanks to the storage ring The hair dye and the contact lenses. Before leaving school this time, he thought of the day when there was a hidden identity.
auzw.com "Then are you?" Baron Croto looked at the young man in front of him.
"I am a consultant of the mercenary regiment, you know, the dark elves have no business in the elven land, but in our human land, I need a person like me to negotiate." Xiao Chen explained.
"I never thought the dark elves would come out as mercenaries." Sir Turk said aside.
"Now you see." Evelyn took off her hood to reveal her face, and her white hair was dazzling against the gray skin.
Turke was stunned and said, "Uh, I'm not skeptical, I just can't believe it."
"Sir Turck, the reasons for being mercenaries can be different, but the purpose is the same, that is to make money." Xiao Chen shrugged. "The dark elves abide by their credibility and fight bravely. You do n’t have to doubt this. Now I want to know, are you going to hire us? "
"I think ... I have to test it."
"of course."

In the afternoon of that day, in the martial arts court behind Baron's Mansion.
Evelyn loosened her longbow, and an arrow flew by, nailed to a target in the distance. However, her hands did not stop, and she drew one arrow after another from the quiver, shooting towards the target. Although the distance was more than 100 meters, the landing point of each arrow was close to the previous arrow. All shot neatly in a large palm area.
In less than a minute, she had shot nineteen arrows, and when the last arrow was put on the string by her, she excited the earth fighting in her body. The gray-brown fighting spirit was divided into two sticks and attached to the arrow, like two The snake circled like an arrow, but it was hidden. As she let go, the arrow struck the target with a whistling grudge. The two grapples collided at the moment the arrow hit the target. The explosion caused the target and the arrow shot in front to be torn apart. .
"This elf is actually a mid-level fighter! Such mercenaries are rare." Baron Croto, who was watching from the side, said, "It seems to be a bit stronger than me in terms of strength."
"Yes, I guess she is in the middle of the mid-range, and even more rare is that she still has a good shot. A warrior like her, one person can suppress a whole team of ordinary archers." Sir Turk said excitedly .
"And, more than her." Xiao Chen said.
After Evelyn, one elf after another stepped forward to shoot arrows. All dark elves will have some shooting skills, even those mage posing as demon archers archery looks decent, they show their skills one by one, so that the humans watching around the marvel.
When twenty-one elves had finished shooting arrows, Turk could not suppress the joy on his face, a mid-level archer, four low-level archers, and four magic archers, and most of the other archers also had warriors. The strength of the apprentice, such a mercenary group is very rare even in a big city like Suero, and now it can be encountered in Greenwood City, it is really a treasure. He said to Xiao Chen: "I am very satisfied. I am willing to hire these elves on behalf of Greenwood City."
"Trust me, they will bring you incredible results." Xiao Chen answered with a professional smile.
