Civilization Guardian Front

In this way, the opponent cannot use it as a means of attack.

"Besides, I was wearing this ring in the name of a reward by the archbishop in the arena, not in a church witnessed by a notary. I didn't know about it beforehand, and I didn't have a choice when the incident happened."

"Putting the ring on the ring finger of the left hand is indeed easy to cause misunderstanding. But the other party is the supreme leader of the Church of Tears in the four countries around the Mediterranean Sea. He has dedicated his life to the gods. I think we should not look at his behavior with ordinary eyes."

Chios spread his hands.

Chapter 890 Two? The Forerunner

"After all, it's just a ring, don't think too much..."

After refuting the doubts of the girls one by one and proving his innocence, Chios made a new point of view:

"Besides, thinking about it from another angle, if you wear it on this finger, you won't have to worry about unnecessary misunderstandings caused by someone acting like the archbishop in the future. Isn't it a very reassuring thing?"

Hearing this, Asuna and Lyfa laughed angrily.

"It means, teacher, you don't want to get married at all?"

"If you don't get married but have an unclear relationship with girls, Mr. Chios, you just admit that you just want to be a scumbag."

"Tsk tsk..." Renn, who still thought the fire wasn't hot enough, hurriedly chimed in:

"In the past, he would hide it somewhat, but now he directly expresses that he wants to open a harem. Brother Chios is really amazing."

"Mr. Chios, you will be punished for playing with girls irresponsibly."

Priestess Li Jie clasped her hands together and said in a serious tone.

Facing the unanimous attack from the girls, Chios curled his lips disapprovingly.

If the controversy is not set aside, how can the rain and dew be evenly distributed.

The reason why the few girls in front of him were able to bombard him with the same stand as they are now is entirely based on the fact that they don't have to worry about being squeezed out by others and becoming losers.

I don't even think about it, if he really picks a woman to marry, how many people who are not chosen will cry to death...

Before the outcome is announced, everyone can imagine that they are the ultimate winner.

But under the framework of one-on-one love, there will always be only one who laughs last.

Compared with the cruel zero-sum game where the winner takes all, Chios believes that what he does is truly responsible.

To bear the guilt and feel guilty about it for a lifetime, as long as there is one person, it is enough.

Of course, Chios would not speak his heart out.

He knows that this kind of thinking is too difficult for young girls who have deep-rooted ideas and have excessive fantasies about love.

However, time will tell everything.

"I said, what the hell are you guys getting excited about..."

Sighing, Chios then deftly resorted to delay tactics:

"I'm only 20 years old this year. Why do I have to think about getting married right away? Is marriage a fun game for you children who are at most 15 years old and have not yet fully developed their bodies? Make a decision, is it really responsible?"

""Well! ""

Arguments from an adult's point of view severely hit the weak spots of girls other than Ryan.

They don’t even dare to drink in a fair and legitimate way, and they have never really been in a relationship. Most of their knowledge comes from teachers, and they have little practical experience. How can they have the right to criticize others?

It is too early for them to talk about this kind of problem.

"Instead of caring about my lifelong affairs, I should step up to improve myself and be able to be independent as soon as possible. The team will encounter many challenges in the future, and my personal ability has its limit..."

The series of "Positive Theory" occupied the commanding heights of the discourse power, and Chios, who felt that the suppression was almost enough, changed the subject and cut to the point:

"So I decided to merge with Sharon's team and form a formal warband."

Without waiting for the girls to express their surprise, Chios then said to the outsider:

"Come in, Sharon."

"Yes, Master Chios."

After the respectful voice fell, the woman's slender and white hands lifted the curtain.

Sharon walked into the tent with a smile on her face, and bowed deeply to Asuna and the others.

"See you again, everyone."

"..."

"Sister Sharon, can you explain what's going on?"

Ren asked instead of the two companions whose faces were gloomy.

"No problem, Miss Lane." Sharon nodded.

Just about to speak...

(Don't say anything superfluous.)

Seeing the warning conveyed by the gaze of the young man beside her, she had no choice but to give up her original idea of ​​taking the opportunity to play a prank.

"In the Mediterranean region, it is not easy for volunteer soldiers from foreign countries like us to gain the trust of the locals. They can only do insignificant or high-risk commissions with limited rewards, driven by powerful people, until the moment of death."

"To improve the situation of volunteer soldiers, the best way is to unite. When we have a common idea, have a strong centripetal force, and gather under one banner to fight, we are no longer just stragglers, but an organized and A disciplined team. It’s easy to say, but without enough prestige, it’s impossible for a group of people to be taken seriously.”

"So, this is an excellent opportunity..." Sharon said, raising her left index finger.

"At the moment when the champion and runner-up are determined in the capital competition, every move of Master Chios and I from the north will definitely attract the attention of all parties. At this time, if our teams merge and form a formal "battle group", It will send a signal of the rise of a powerful emerging force, and at the same time, the volunteer soldiers will also be moved by the news, hoping to join us as a part. "

"Excuse me, what is "warband"? "

"A formally registered and clearly established mercenary team, in the words of professionals from all walks of life, is a "guild". "

Shaking her index finger left and right, Sharon answered Lyfa's question:

"The team currently formed by everyone does not have a name that is truly recognized by all countries. No matter what you call it in private, is it called "Oreas Picnic and Field Team", "One Man, Four Women and Five People" or "Master Chios" The harem group", it doesn't make sense..."

""You..."" The three girls interrupted with blushing faces:

""What the hell are you talking about! ? ""

"Oh, sorry, I lost my word..."

Sharon apologized, but she had no intention of repenting.

"All in all, if you want this relationship to be recognized and blessed by outsiders, you can't stick to the current temporary team. You must decide on a fixed and attractive name, and register it with the Guard Corps Office. Registration becomes The premise of the battle group is that there are at least two official volunteers in the team, serving as the chief and deputy commanders, do you understand?"

The last sentence clearly revealed the key reason why Chios wanted to merge with Sharon's team.

Because in the two teams, apart from the two of them, there are no other official volunteers.

"Teacher, I will try my best..."

"Give, give us two months, no, just one month..."

"Too late!"

Chios sternly rejected the request of the team members.

"Time waits for no one. The timeliness of competitive competitions is limited. For the compatriots who are still confused in the corners of towns and cities, and to win the rights and interests of us and other northerners as soon as possible, it is imperative to merge teams and create a battle group."

"About the name of the warband..." Ryan, who sat on the sofa with folded arms and watched the performance of his two colleagues from beginning to end, said at this moment:

"Brother Chios, sister Sharon, have you already made up your mind?"

"certainly."

Chios replied:

"Let's call it "Precursors." "

Chapter 890 Three? Battlegroup

Volunteers, adventurers, and mercenaries can register to form a "battle group" if they have five members and at least two of them have reached the "steel" rank.

A battle group must have a leader, no less than one lieutenant, and three or more members.

Just like the professional guilds everywhere, the battle group is allowed to design its unique coat of arms, but unlike the structure of the knight's coat of arms, the outer frame must be a rectangle or rhombus composed of swords, guns, axes, and hammers. It is also not possible to add shield bearers, crown ornaments, helmet ornaments, selvedges, etc., which are only used by nobles.

After creating a battle group, each time a mission is reported, in addition to the settlement of the participant's personal martial arts, the Academy of Arms will make a comprehensive evaluation based on factors such as the difficulty of the commission, the degree of goal achievement, the number of days spent, the number of casualties, etc. Increase or decrease the honor value of the clan.

"Honor Points" can be regarded as the prestige of a battle group among the countries around the Mediterranean Sea. It will increase when the mission is successfully completed, and will be slightly deducted if it fails. In addition, the increase or decrease in the number of members and overall strength will also have an impact on the Honor Points. influences.

The honor value is divided into nine levels from low to high, including four negative honor levels and five positive honor levels:

【Demon】, 【Skeleton】, 【Hanged Man】, 【Prisoner】

【Hermit】, 【Warrior】, 【Cavalry】, 【Tower】, 【Star】

Usually, the failure of consecutive missions and team attrition will at most bring the wargroup back to the [Hermit], which has the lowest honor rank. However, if members of the warband commit crimes, the honor value will drop sharply, or even fall to negative values.

When this happens, the chapter leader has seven days to make an "honorable arrest", surrendering the criminal to the local guards.

Those who have a moral conscience and voluntarily hand over criminals will receive a greatly reduced punishment. Only the honor value equivalent to three mission failures will be deducted, and the value will not be reduced to negative.

And once the seven-day deadline is exceeded, not only will all members of the warband be wanted locally, but they will also be listed on the reward list.

When the honor level reaches [Hanging Man], the delivery condition of the reward task is immediately changed from "capture alive" to "life or death".

"At this point, the warband can basically be said to be hopeless..."

Sitting on the sofa, Chios gently shook the goblet in his hand.

After sniffing the aroma close to the tip of his nose, he took a sip of the light ruby ​​wine.

"However, I'm sure you guys won't bother me with that."

""certainly. ""

Asuna, Lyfa, and Rize nodded immediately.

On the other hand, Ryan keenly discovered the deep loopholes hidden in the youth's words.

That's right...

Why is it not "I believe we don't need to worry about this problem" but the pronoun "you"?

Because Chios himself had no intention of complying.

Even if you are sure that you will not be discovered, you still like to speak with reservations, play word games, and leave clues to see if someone will find out.

What a bad joke...

Of course, those who can understand this level of psychology must not be good people.

Renn was not without self-deprecating thoughts.

"The "Forerunner" is our starting point. In the future, if you have enough strength, you can also apply to me and establish your own battle group. "

Hearing what Chios said, Lyfa couldn't help being a little surprised.

"Does that mean we should get out?"

"Well, I like you very much."

Chios replied with a smile to the stiff-faced girls who fell into an eerie silence.

Facing the silent oppression of the three lines of sight calmly, for ten seconds...

"Just kidding." He finally said:

"Between war groups, superior and subordinate organizations are allowed to exist, and subordinate war groups still retain their independent coat of arms and membership. The only difference is that the leader of a subordinate war group must also serve as a cadre of the superior war group. "

"In other words, even if you build your own team, your allegiance is still with me."

call...

Asuna and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

"The more wargroups under your command, the greater the prestige and power of the superior wargroup. There is no doubt that this will in turn increase the honor value of the subordinates, which will also play a role in sheltering each other. They are complementary to each other."

Handing the empty glass with a little wine residue to Sharon next to him, Chios took the white handkerchief from the other party and wiped his lips.

Then, on to explaining...

Affiliated wargroups are obliged to accept the assignment of the leader of the directly subordinate chapter, and give priority to accepting or assisting the superior to complete the designated commission.

As long as the difficulty of the task is within a reasonable range, and there have been no major casualties in the subordinate battle group within the past seven days, and there is no entrustment currently in progress, the subordinate shall not refuse the order of the superior.
