On the Seven Towers

There is a tall pine tree in the small square in the middle of Green Pine Town.

Under the tree, there were several people dressed as warriors gathered together to say something. One of the warriors was holding a rope hanging from the tree and ringing a bell.

The townspeople came out of their houses one after another and walked to the big tree in the small square. Some people simply climbed onto the surrounding roofs and walls. The few people in front of the big tree were surrounded by water.

Xiao Chen and others also wore cloaks and mingled at the end of the crowd, quietly observing what would happen.

When most of the people in the town have gathered. A man who looked like a butler stood up and told everyone that Baron Cloteau had made another very important announcement today.

Baron Clotto is a middle-aged man wearing armor. His hair and eyebrows are pale. He looks to be in his sixties. He strokes his beard and speaks with a strong and loud voice: "My lord Greenwood City The Duke is about to start a war. You don't have to worry about who to fight, why to fight, and how to fight. You only need to know that this time we will send twenty people to serve for thirty days. Each adult will pay half. The war tax for silver guns is five copper shields per child. Families with children are exempt from tax and can also receive two silver coins as a reward. However, they must be strong enough and worthy of me. "

Xiao Chen found that the faces of the people around him were very ugly. According to this tax standard, a family of three must pay a tax of one silver gun and five copper shields. Such a sum of money would be enough to feed a more economical family for a month. . If there are elderly people or several children at home, it will be even worse.

But although the following people were extremely dissatisfied, they all dared to be angry and dare not speak out. The baron's triangular eyes swept across everyone's faces. No one dared to look at him and lowered their heads.

Baron Clotto seemed to be very satisfied with the reaction of these people, and he added: "If the mercenaries present are willing to serve as our people in Green Pine Town, they can also get two silver coins from me, and the Duke will also give him the money according to his request. Your strength provides an additional employment fee. The low-level can get an additional employment bonus of one golden ax, and the middle-level can get five golden axes. There are additional subsidies for mages.”

The Baron did not increase his rank because high-level mercenaries were so rare that they were impossible to appear in his small town.

He patted a young knight next to him and said, "Sir Turk came from Green Pine City with enough gold coins."

No one signed up at the scene, and the Baron and Sir Turk did not stay long and left directly. Xiao Chen looked at their backs and calculated for a long time.

The next morning, he, Roger, and Evelyn came to the Baron's Mansion.

There is also a big gap between baron and baron. This Baron Cloteau is much worse than Baron O'Farrell in terms of strength and power. His home was nothing more than 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 the intuition of a strong man. He couldn't help but feel a little emotional. From the beginning, he had no strength and only relied on gambling for his life. Finally, he could bully others on some occasions.

"Tree Mercenary Group?" Baron Croto was slightly startled when he heard this strange name.

"You can think of this as a hobby of the dark elves. Any name associated with a tree will bring good luck." Today, Xiao Chen has brown hair and purple eyes, thanks to the storage ring Hair dye and contact lenses inside. Before leaving school this time, he thought about the day when he would hide his identity.

"Then you are?" Baron Clotto looked at the young man in front of him.

"I am the consultant of the mercenary group. As you know, the dark elves have no business in the elves' land, but in our human land, a person like me is needed to be responsible for the negotiations." Xiao Chen explained.

"I never thought that dark elves would come out to be mercenaries." Sir Turk said on the side.

"Now you see it." Evelin took off her hood, revealing her face. Her snow-white hair looked very dazzling against the gray skin.

Turk was stunned and said: "Well, I'm not doubting it, I just can't believe it."

"Sir Turk, the reasons for becoming a mercenary can be different, but the purpose is the same, which is to make money." Xiao Chen shrugged, "Dark elves abide by their credibility and fight bravely. They are all excellent warriors. You don’t have to doubt that. Now I want to know, are you going to hire us?”

"I guess... I'll have to test it out."

"certainly."

That afternoon, in the martial arts training ground behind the Baron's Mansion.

Evelin let go of the long bow, and an arrow flew past and nailed the target in the distance. However, her hands did not stop, and she smoothly pulled out arrows one after another from the quiver and shot towards the target. Although the distance was more than a hundred meters, the landing point of each arrow was right next to the previous one. They were all neatly ejaculated in an area as big as a palm.

In less than a minute, she shot nineteen arrows. When she put the last arrow on the string, she inspired the fighting spirit of the earth in her body. The gray-brown fighting spirit divided into two strands and attached to the arrow, like two arrows. It was hovering around the arrow like a snake, but it was hidden and silent. As soon as she let go, the arrow hit the target with roaring fighting spirit. The two fighting spirits collided together the moment the arrow touched the target, causing an explosion that tore the target and the arrows shot in front to pieces. .

"This elf is actually a mid-level warrior! Such mercenaries are rare." Baron Cloto, who was observing from the side, said, "It seems that she is a little stronger than me in terms of strength."

"Yes, I estimate that she is in the middle of the mid-level, and what's more rare is that she is also a good archer. A warrior like her can suppress a whole team of ordinary archers by herself." Sir Turk said excitedly.

"And there is more than one of her." Xiao Chen said.

After Evelyn, one elf after another came forward to shoot arrows. All dark elves know some archery skills, even those mages pretending to be magic archers can shoot arrows in a decent manner. They show their skills one by one, which makes the humans watching around them amazed.

When all 21 elves finished shooting arrows, Tuerke could no longer suppress the joy on his face. There was one mid-level archer, four low-level archers, and four magic archers. Most of the other archers were warrior apprentices. Such a mercenary group was very rare even in a big city like Suero. Now that he could meet one in Green Forest City, he was really lucky. He said to Xiao Chen: "I am very satisfied. I am willing to hire these elves on behalf of Green Forest City."

"Believe me, they will bring you incredible results." Xiao Chen replied with a professional smile.
