Rise In Calradia

Chapter 3: : Vinda Recruitment

The tavern is a big intersection of the towns, especially in a big city like Palavin with a population of more than 20,000. The several taverns in the city are full of hustle and bustle all day long, mercenaries, explorers, and workers who have been busy all day long. I like to stay here, drink a few glasses of malt with water, and then chat and play cards. If you drink too much, you can have a fight in the backyard and let the people around you make a few bets. If you are looking for helpers and soldiers who are not afraid of death, there are everywhere here, as long as you have money.

Byron also saw a group of mercenary cavalry sitting around eating and drinking. He also saw the mounts of these cavalry in the backyard. They were all strong and agile horse hunting and armored horses in battle. He couldn't help but raise one. The feeling of envy. In the game, this kind of mercenary cavalry has a high salary and is not as good as the top cavalry in various countries, so players are taken seriously after they have developed. But now, when he walked over, these mercenaries who were eating food and drinking wine didn't even bother to look at him, because Byron did not have the capital and prestige to hire them now.

Byron found the owner of the tavern. This is a middle-aged man wearing a leather apron. Although it looks ordinary, even a lot of nobles will send people to him to ask for information. He has connections with many forces. It happened in the tavern. Nothing can escape his eyes.

   Under the introduction of the boss, Byron successfully hired a mercenary named Big John. This guy is a burly figure, more than one meter and eighty meters tall, with a somewhat stiff round face, and still looks very imposing.

"I have been on the battlefield as a recruit. I have killed people. I have been to many places. I have visited half of Swadia and can ride horses. You will not choose the wrong person. 3 dinars per week, as long as What I can do, you can let me do anything."

   The big John is selling himself to this young employer at this time, even though the other party seems to have the blood of the Khergit Khanate, he may be doing something. But for him, who has been unemployed for several weeks and is shy in his pocket, as long as he has a bit of food to eat, it doesn't make much sense for the mercenary to live for nothing. He didn't do anything like robbery to steal money and stealing cows in the dark.

   [Henry sentry: equipment: skin shield, thick leather armor, spear, dagger, leather helmet, worn-out leather boots; evaluation: the most common mercenary;]

   And Byron is also quite satisfied with this temporary bodyguard. He brings his own equipment and does not require advance payment, and his reputation is okay. But he has to guard against this big man. The mercenary line is very disgusting and hurts the employer, but it's not uncommon.

   The two had lunch in the tavern, bread and cheese. John's food was quite fragrant but he was not used to it. Salt and oil were expensive. The lack of these two kinds of food made him crazy for diners.

After   , things were much simpler, and the two of them left the city and went to Vader, a village managed by Palavin. It is not far from the city, and the roads are flat and safe, and there are places to rest along the way. More importantly, Vinda has a large population and many idlers, so he can recruit some people there.

   The road was quite peaceful, because they walked on the road and avoided the woods. The two rushed there at dusk. And Byron discovered a very interesting thing, that is, "Vida" is actually like a small town in scale, and the scattered villages around are under the jurisdiction of the lord of the town, and all these villages are called Wei. Up!

  Slices of crop seedlings appeared on both sides of the road, and the cabbage that had just been planted was growing vigorously. The farmers who have been busy all day wiped the sweat from their faces and walked towards their houses with a little satisfaction and expectation.

   The village is built on a hill and a stream. The high areas at the foot of the mountain are residential buildings, and the low areas are arable land. The village elder’s house was built at the highest point at the foot of the mountain, and its area was much larger than other houses around it.

   In the open area of ​​the village, Byron saw a few idle people who were doing nothing there, and seemed to be looking for some relief. This relieved Byron, as long as the village elders were persuaded to allow him to recruit soldiers here, the rest would be easy.

   "Go to slay that gang of robbers? Just you?"

   The elder who was peeling the cabbage at his door heard what they were coming from, slanted his eyes and scanned them several times, and finally clapped his hands and stood up.

  Byron was very helpless, but it was a bit unrealistic for the bandits who had already robbed many pedestrians to wipe out more than a dozen people with only two people and such a little equipment.

"But I also know that businessman, he will not spend money to make people unable to do things, you must have something that ordinary people can't compare. Well, as long as they want, you can take away those who have nothing to do and don’t want to do tomorrow morning. The guy who goes to work, but you get 10 dinars for each person. This includes their equipment and the subsidy that has been given to the family. I have this right if the lord is not there."

   "Thank you, elder, I will take care of it. After all, I don't want them to die."

   Byron nodded, and counted out a few more silver coins, hoping to buy some "groceries". The price he paid was several times higher than the normal price, and the elder gladly accepted it.

   This time Byron can let go of his hands and feet. He began to plan to find a stand and shout a few times, but he felt too stupid. So he asked those idle guys who bragged and teased each other and expressed his intentions.

   "Hey, guys, do you want to go out, one dinar a week, and you don’t have to pay for the equipment and food."

  Byron has no experience, so he says what he thinks of. However, although his words caused a lot of ridicule, after seeing the leather armor on John's body and the other iron swords on his waist, someone still leaned over.

   Although most people don’t trust Byron, there are still three gangsters and a bankrupt farmer who choose to join his team. com can see that their life is not easy.

   "The longer the tax money is, the higher the tax money will make, and the day will be more difficult. If I can eat with you, then I will go with you. Anyway, I will stay and wait to die of starvation."

   The bankrupt farmer's words touched Byron, and he seemed more reliable than the others. Byron took note of him, and if he did a good job and survived, maybe he could be promoted.

  Byron also paid 40 dinars for this, to buy them simple equipment, and the rest to the village or their families.

   That night Byron made do with a simple tavern in the village, but did not sleep well because someone tried to steal his money from the window in the middle of the night, but was scared away by John who was up at night.

On the second day, Byron saw three recruits wearing rough leather armor, triangular fur hats, holding iron forks and simple iron spears standing at the door waiting for him. The last gangster returned the silver coin because He regretted it.

   [You recruited a level 1 unit "Swadia Recruit" in Vinda*3]

   reminded me, Byron again thought of this so-called system. The prompts began to increase, and Byron also had some hope for it. Whether it's gold fingers or silver thighs, as long as it works.

  Byron rode on a traveling horse. The feeling of riding a real horse is far less than that on TV. In addition, the inferior saddle is uncomfortable to sit on, but it is better than walking.

   Now he has enough of a small team, he plans to find a few robbers to ask about the situation, and then find some helpers along the way, finish the task as soon as possible, and get paid. And he also wants to see if his cheat is not the most unrealistic but also the most important point in the game. As long as he has enough experience in fighting and training, a farmer can also become a knight!
