Chapter 81 Conscription Order

Margaery was very cooperative with her cousins' bragging, and she expressed surprise and admiration from time to time.

Even though she doesn't know much about knights and military affairs, she still has basic common sense.

Judging from the combat effectiveness of killing hundreds of enemies in one battle, this handsome Bracken may be the most powerful warrior in the history of Westeros.

Her impression of Arthur was even better when she heard that Arthur had fought against Raventree just because of the tragic deaths of three villagers, including a pregnant woman.

"Evil Raventree City and Brynden!" Little Rose exclaimed.

Arthur felt that she was looking at him differently.

"So in order to prevent the Blackwoods from retaliation, I have used every possibility to expand my army. In addition to purchasing weapons and armor, I also hope to hire a group of brave Reach warriors."

"It's just that uncle doesn't support Mr. Arthur very much." Hopper said.

The Duke of Metz is his own uncle.

Horace added: "I think it might be Randyll Tarly's fault. He's always been on good terms with his second cousin."

"Why?" Margaery asked curiously.

She couldn't understand how Arthur, who had only been in Highgarden for half a day, could offend the Earl of Hornhill in the south.

"It should be that I came here with a dozen Dornishmen, and then I let Lando Tully, who was visiting here, know about it, so they blocked the blood troupe in the name of being hired by me." Arthur explained.

Hopper followed suit: "No matter how bad the blood troupe's reputation is and how much the Dornish people hate it, they are still here to defend Mr. Arthur's territory. The Earl of Horn Hill is really a bit of a bully."

He puts the blame entirely on Randall Tarly, without even mentioning that it was his cousin Garlan Tyrell who stopped him.

Help relatives not help.

"Sometimes my father can't tell right from wrong." Although Margaret felt that her father had gone too far, she kept her mouth graceful.

After all, with Arthur as an outsider, she couldn't express her contempt for her father freely.

"When you go home and wait for me in the afternoon, Mr. Arthur can follow me to see his father, and I will persuade him."

"It couldn't be better." Arthur didn't expect this matter to turn around.

To be honest, for the family of the feudal monarch of Hewan Land with more than 1 professional full-time soldiers under its command, three hundred sets of weapons and armor are not a problem at all.

But for Arthur, these equipment are still very impressive.

The fragrant food was served by the tavern boy, and the group quickly solved the problem of hunger.

Then Little Rose continued to go to the school she ran to teach the children literacy, while Arthur and the twins went to the town center to recruit soldiers.

……

"The mercenary price of the Blood Troupe is [-] gold dragons per person. The warriors in the Reach are stronger and more capable of fighting. I suggest that Mr. Arthur set a price of [-] gold dragons."

Hopper suggested.

"It's better to divide the people. Those who bring their own weapons and armor can be paid more, and those who don't have equipment can be given less." His brother Horace gave his own opinion.

Several people were standing in the center of the town, and the mayor who heard the news was responsible for maintaining order at the scene.

As one of the three top aristocrats in the Reach, the Redwyne family's twins still played a very important role. Attracted by his family's blue-bottomed grape logo, twenty or thirty mercenaries had already arrived.

Among them, most of them are stragglers, and there are only two groups at most in groups.

To be honest, Arthur has a little psychological resistance to stragglers.

Because these people are not good at paying salaries, and they are not good at commanding.

One of the most important reasons for the mercenaries to form a mercenary group is that they are afraid that they will be wiped out by their employers. They will lose their people and get no money.

But there are still a considerable number of people who choose to go it alone, such as Bronn, the luckiest mercenary in the world of Game of Thrones.

He followed Madam Stark's bounty to the Eagle's Nest City. After the bounties from Stark and Ayrin's house did not satisfy him, he immediately jumped to the little devil's side.

Arthur felt that he should avoid this situation.

"Besides the price, what I need now is loyalty and obedience."

Wag, the head of the blood troupe, followed Arthur, helping to screen and screen.

With a goatee, he wore black plate armor that was different from the Westeros warriors, making him look very gloomy.

As the head of a hundred-man mercenary regiment, it is his forte to pick out those who are brave enough to fight and fear death from ordinary mercenaries.

Only half of the 30 people in front of them passed, and only 11 people were selected by Arthur.

Anyone with a wink could see Arthur's dissatisfaction.

The quantity is simply too small.

"I think you, you can issue an order for conscription... so that people who are not here can..." Wag, who stammered, suggested.

But his stumbling words sounded very uncomfortable.

One of his assistants stepped forward and quickly explained:
"Mercenaries often have their own circles, and the news circulates quickly. You can issue a conscription order, and you can get a few silver stags when you come for an interview. This will quickly attract powerful warriors hundreds of leagues nearby. "

"Yes, in just a day or two, the number of mercenaries arriving will double, and it won't take much time for your lord." The mayor said with a smile.

This is also a method.

Arthur agreed.

Anyway, he now has more than 5 golden dragons in his hands, and one golden dragon can be exchanged for 210 silver stags.

It is very cost-effective to spend a few gold dragons to get a large number of mercenaries to come for interviews.

Arthur ordered: "Then the mercenaries who came to the interview will have two silver stags. They must be armed with regular weapons. They will be valid within two days. Please help the mayor spread the news."

Then a golden dragon was thrown to the mayor as his bounty.

"No problem, I'll do it right away. Raven's speed is very fast, and a large number of armored warriors will come to you tomorrow morning."

The mayor was about to turn around and go to work when Arthur stopped him again.

"Help me find another convoy, a large convoy that can transport hundreds of sets of armor, and transport it to the north bank of the Red Fork River in Hejian. The price is negotiable."

For the sake of a golden dragon bounty, the mayor agreed wholeheartedly: "There is no problem at all. When you come to interview the mercenaries tomorrow, you can see such a convoy."

Arthur nodded and waved him away.

It looks like I have to stay here for another day.

The Second Sons, a well-known mercenary group on the continent of Essos in the east, can get one hundred gold dragons per ordinary soldier for a mission, while the average price of mercenaries in the Reach is around [-] gold dragons.

Although this has something to do with the fact that the mercenaries have no work due to the nearly ten years of peace in Westeros, it is indeed cheap, and it is always good to hire more people.

Then Arthur and the twins went to Margaery's school to wait, and they would go to Highgarden together in the afternoon.

Arthur needs to settle the money for weapons and armor with Earl Paxter, and Margaery promises to help her father, the Duke of Metz.

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket and ask for a monthly ticket.
