Don't mess with that dragon

Chapter 710 Conscription (Second update please subscribe)
Everyone is focusing on the protagonist who has achieved success and embraced beauty. As for those low-level mercenaries who died in the battle without even their names, who will pay attention to those insignificant people?

Those romantic stories, and these low-level mercenaries and adventurers present have never been fantasies.

More low-level mercenaries, never related to the protagonist in the bard's story.

Most of the bottom of the mercenary class, either died on the road of the mission, had their heads chopped off by thieves in the wild, and were eaten by ferocious beasts and monsters, and they couldn't even leave their names.

With a little bit of luck, I was able to save a sum of money and buy a few barren fields in the countryside with all my injuries. When I was old, I relied on teaching young people in the countryside or contacting and introducing mercenary apprentices to the mercenary team for a living.

Do you really think that many low-level mercenaries are generous by nature, eating and drinking in taverns before making money, willing to spend the last penny on the bellies of those girls standing on street corners?

It's not that this industry is full of dangers, especially the mercenary cannon fodder at the bottom, who live a life without tomorrow,
The saved money is likely to die halfway before retirement.

In this way, it is natural to spend money when you have money, and get drunk when you have wine.

life of a mercenary,
For them, it has never been romance, but naked and cruel reality.

even though,
Being a mercenary is naturally much better than those farmers who work hard in the fields all year round and can't get enough to eat. The farmers at the bottom have to pay [-] to [-]% of the output in the field to the lord, and the rest even in good years. During the period, they may not necessarily be able to fill their stomachs. Most of them are struggling on the survival line and living a difficult life.

As for the mercenaries, they could at least eat black bread every meal, and they could also have meat in the wild from time to time, which was even better than the wealthiest peasant class.

But that's what they risked their lives for.

right now,

Someone told them that in that country in the south, only [-]% of the tax is charged for farming, and the rest of the harvest is their own. How can this not make people crazy?
If this is the case, then it is not unacceptable to lay down your weapons and become a farmer!
At least you don't have to worry about throwing your body into the wilderness one day.

These low-level mercenaries even felt emotional, not to mention other people, especially those farmers who gathered around the periphery, their faces were even more excited.

"Sir, is this true? Is it true that the country in the south only charges [-]% of the tax?"

In the uproar of the tavern,
The crowd was bustling with excitement, ready to squeeze over to get more definite news from the minstrelsy population.

But at this moment,
Shouts from outside the tavern:
"It's not good, it's not good! The king is recruiting soldiers! The king's words, all young men are obliged to participate in the battle of defending their homes and the country, and the parliament is about to implement compulsory recruitment of the whole people. All towns and cities have unemployed vagrants, adventurers, and mercenaries. , even serfs, and free people are all in the queue to be recruited!"

"The town is about to send troops to arrest people!"

As the long voice in the distance goes away,
In the entire tavern, the atmosphere suddenly became silent.

next moment,
boom! ! !
Immediately, the crowd slammed like disintegrated headless flies, and fled in all directions in horror. The bard at the wine table also had a terrified expression on his face, slightly lowered his head, and fled in panic with the flow of people.

far away,

There was the sound of clattering footsteps,
The soldiers in the town are dispatched!

This further confirms the authenticity of the previous voice,
The streets of the town were in panic, and the people became even more panicked, fleeing in a panic, and the residents of the town rushed to the doors and windows of their homes, trembling.

in Tasania,
The general conscription order issued by the king was not the only one,
a few years ago,

In the war with the enemy country, the king of Tasania, facing the most dangerous situation, tore up all the customary rules and launched a large-scale conscription to the people of the whole country.

The serfs in the aristocratic territory were driven onto the battlefield with dung forks, and the vagrants and vagabonds in the city, and even most of the adventurers and mercenaries were forcibly conscripted and sent to the battlefield.

after that,

That war did win the final victory. The Principality of Tasania defeated the enemy army in one fell swoop and took back all the occupied land.

however,
Only one out of ten people who were forcibly recruited to the battlefield can come back!
Heavy casualties,

After the war, almost every family is plain!
Most of the people who were forcibly recruited were reduced to cannon fodder that consumed the enemy's military resources on the battlefield, and those who escaped didn't even dare to recall that nightmarish war.

This has aroused tremendous repercussions among the Tasanian people, and under the gradual fermentation of the past few years, people have turned into a slaughterhouse with the memory of the war.

It is also because of this that after hearing that the national conscription will be carried out again, everyone's complexion changed drastically.

It was originally a small town with a lot of people,
Suddenly, the crowd dispersed and fled one after another. Soldiers from the town and the town passed by one after another on the street. There were no pedestrians in sight, and the market withered.

The ongoing large-scale conscription is not only going on in the Principality of Tasonia.

During this time,

But for any country that is close to the territory of the three duchies of Frandi, Golden Eagle, and Oran, or the border Great Wall, the upper echelons of the ruling class are all tightened.

Gein is the blitzkrieg of the dragon's nest army, which is really scary.

Within half a month, three countries that were not considered weak were wiped out in one fell swoop, which made the rulers of any nearby countries fear from the bottom of their hearts.

This kind of fear is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Especially the king of Tasania, in the first few days when he got the news, he even had a nightmare of being captured alive by the dragon's nest army while he was sleeping.

It was precisely because of this nightmare that the King of Tasania overwhelmed all objections and launched a national conscription again regardless of everything.

Although other countries did not react as strongly as the Principality of Tasonia, the difference was quite a bit.

Except for a principality that is facing a domestic rebellion, the rest of the countries have used the wartime policy of facing the threat of national subjugation. They have tried their best to mobilize the army and set up heavy troops on the country's borders, sending a large number of elite scouts, thieves, etc. Waiting, monitoring the direction of the army of the Blue Dragon Kingdom, every move of the other party caused their hearts to tremble.

at the same time,

The aristocratic council in the capital is open every day. The king shows his worries on the throne and constantly asks his ministers how to deal with it. The suffocating orc kingdom.
