Ark's Journey to the Demon God

"So, Marquis, how many establishments do you need? There must be a quantity, right?"

"Let's first set it at around...1 people." Shen Muke said.

"1 people?"

"Too much?"

"Too little!" Tresis shook his head and said: "Marquis, do you know how big Rem Billiton is? Its area is similar to Yan Kingdom. With such a vast land, you can only use an army of 1 people. What to do? These 1 people entering Rem Billiton are like a pebble dropped into the ocean, and there will be no waves at all."

"No, Your Highness, 1 people are enough." Shen Muke shook his head and said, "We are not sinking into the sea, but starting a fire in the prairie fire."

"1 people are not expensive, they are enough."

"What an interesting statement." Tracy took out a pen and paper, wrote and drew on it, and finally cut his finger, letting the blood drip on the paper, and then printed his fingerprints.

"This is the permission you want, Marquis, accept it." The scar on his finger healed quickly, and Tracy said with a smile: "It still needs the approval of several other Lords of the Royal Court and His Majesty before it can truly take effect, but it doesn't matter. Now that I have approved it, Your Majesty and the others will probably agree."

"Thank you for your trust, Your Highness. If everything goes well, I can start recruiting the day after tomorrow."

Shen Muke stood up and walked out of the study.

"Marquis!" Tracys stopped him and said, "Don't let Sakaz down."

"Please rest assured, Your Highness."

……

Kazdaele's Court, Thearesia's Office.

Shen Muke pushed open the heavy door, and Theresia, Kelsey, and the doctor were all present.

"Your Highness Theresia, Ms. Kelsey, Doctor, good evening!"

"Good evening, Marquis." Theresa showed a gentle smile and said, "Looking at your expression, you must have received your brother's approval?"

"Exactly." Shen Muke smiled and took out the paper with the blood seal and said: "His Highness only needs to print another fingerprint, and this document will basically be legal."

He turned to Kelsey aside and said: "We still need to ask Ms. Kelsey to go to Rem Billiton's Eureka Autonomous Prefecture to negotiate with the locals during the few months we are training new recruits."

Then he turned to the doctor next to Kelsey and said: "Of course, after we enter Rem Billiton, the doctor's tactical command is also indispensable."

"Haha, your abacus is about to fall on my face." The doctor rolled his eyes and said, "You got a business plan and you want the two of us to work for you?"

"It's all for Kazdel~" Shen Muke looked at Theresia sitting on the throne and said with a smile: "It's also for the future of this earth."

Chapter 21 The ideal man comes

Somewhere in Kazdale, in a crowded tavern.

Although the various supplies in Kazdaele are no longer enough for the Sarkaz to enjoy drinks and comfort, most taverns in Kazdaele are still open.

For the Sakaz people, the tavern is not only a place for drinking and entertainment, but also a platform for the Sakaz people to exchange information and integrate. Before the new Kazdare government system was not perfected, this kind of mixed place was the Sakaz people. A place that people here especially like.

Today's tavern is still as lively as ever. Although most of what people drink is hard liquor mixed with water, the crisp sound of clinking wine glasses can still arouse the atmosphere and mood.

The Sakaz people here enjoy this kind of life very much. Although due to the tense current situation, they have to go to the mines and factories to sweat every day, but what can be better than a job that guarantees food and clothing for these people who wander in the wilderness all year round? Are the Sakaz people satisfied?

Although labor is hard, it still has to be like fighting in the wilderness, right?

The Sakaz people of Kazdare felt a sense of warmth and belonging that they had not seen for a long time. For a better tomorrow, they supported Demon King Theresia.

So when "Hub" walked into the tavern with a notice stamped with the Demon King's seal, and nailed it to the notice board with a dagger wrapped in a red cloth strip, all the Sakaz in the tavern turned their attention. .

The average cultural level of the Sakaz people is not high, so when Kazdaele officials issue some notices and decrees, they always ask some educated Sakaz people to come to the tavern with daggers wrapped with corresponding cloth strips, and bring them to the tavern. The notice is pinned to the notice board.

"Red cloth strips..."

"The most urgent government order..."

"Hey! Hub! What does the notice say?"

"See for yourself, I'm busy!" Hubby raised the remaining notices in his hand and said angrily: "I still have dozens of copies to hand out, so I don't have time to serve you!"

"Hey! What the hell is this?!" someone yelled, "If I could read, would I still need you?!"

"You..." Hub shook his head. He stretched out his hand, pointed at the paper on the notice board, and said, "This is the recruitment order."

"Conscription order?"

"The northwest defense line is short of manpower again? How many more of our compatriots have those bastard Victorians killed?!"

"It's not Northwest." Hub shook his head and said, "It's someone else... from Marquis Agaritu."

A

Marquis Garito?

The Sakaz are familiar with this name. He was knighted just last month and is a foreigner.

Isn't he an "honorary marquis"?Can an honorary marquis also recruit soldiers?

"Marquis Agaritu...is he going to recruit guards?" someone asked curiously.

"That's not what happened." Hub shook his head. He looked at the bartender beside him, then patted the table hard and said, "Hey, here's a glass of ice water!"

Picking up the chipped cup, Hubby took a sip and said: "Everyone should know that the situation in Kazdaele is not very good now... The bastards from Victoria and Ursus have surrounded our northwest. We have almost nothing to eat except the meager food from Yan Kingdom."

Everyone nodded. It was true. Everyone had seen the situation in Kazdaele. Although everyone supported Kazdaele, it was difficult for a good woman to make a meal without rice. Even shouting loud slogans could not change the current situation of poverty.

"So, this is the purpose of conscription." Hub explained: "Marquis Agaritu, our friend who brought us support from the Yan Kingdom, said a few days ago that he had a way to solve the current crisis for us. To realize this method, he only needs His Majesty the Demon King to allow him to recruit an army of 1 people, and the recruitment point is just outside the city..."

boom!

There was a muffled sound, and then a Sakaz man suddenly opened the door and ran out of the tavern, and then a huge crowd poured out like a tide.

"Hey! Don't you want to hear the follow-up?!"

"What nonsense? It takes 1 people. If you go late, you won't be able to catch up!"

……

Outside Kazdel City, there is a temporary recruitment point set up by the Stonewing Demons.

"Marquis, do we really need so many people?"

A Sakaz secretary stood next to Shen Muke and asked doubtfully: "Isn't our recruitment quota only 1 people? Do we really need 1000 people to maintain order?"

Shen Muke, who was sitting on the chair, looked into the distance with a smile and said:

"Ten thousand people is the final number, and during this process, there will definitely be more than 1 people who come to this recruitment point..."

"Ah, they are coming..."

The secretary looked into the distance and saw a crowd of people coming from Kazdaele City like a dark cloud!

"This... so much?"

"Don't be stunned my secretary, let our people get ready, we are recruiting soldiers very seriously, the order must not be disordered!" Shen Muke reminded with a smile.

"Ah! I understand, I understand!"

……

No Sakaz wanted today's Kazdare to fall apart under the siege of Victoria and Ursus, so when Marquis Agaritu claimed that he could come up with a solution, almost all Sakaz were there. Arrive at the recruitment point as soon as possible.

No one thought about what he was recruiting for, and it didn't matter what his purpose was. All the Sakaz who came to answer the call were in a fanatical mood.

No matter what Agaritu wants them to do, even if he wants to direct himself and others to attack Londinium or the Holy Castle, it doesn't matter. As long as the future of his descendants can be preserved, as long as the country that allows them to be stable can be preserved, So what if you throw your head and blood?

However, Shen Muke wanted to pour cold water on this surging enthusiasm.

He didn't want the Sarkazis to join his legion just because of their passion, which was impulsive and emotional. Such a legion could only fight against the wind, not a great team that could defeat the enemy.

So he called a group of elites from the royal courts to maintain order, and asked all the Sakaz who came to call to line up in a long queue in front of the recruitment point.

In front of the recruitment point, Shen Muke posted a couplet on the pillars on both sides:

First couplet: "If you get promoted and make a fortune, please go elsewhere."

Second line: "If you are greedy for life and afraid of death, do not enter this door."

Hengpi: "The ideal person will come"

Considering that the Sakaz people might not be able to understand the meaning, he specially found a banshee who understood Yanguo dialect to stand next to him and explain the meaning of these words to all the Sakaz who came to answer the call.

Sure enough, when each Sakaz actually stood in front of the couplet, more than 30.00% of the people calmed down and backed down.

The text above suddenly raised the threshold of the Legion to a higher level. Almost none of the Sakaz present were greedy for life and death, but there was one thing that many people could not accept.

"If you want to get promoted and make a fortune, please go elsewhere."

Most Sakaz people are very realistic. They are not afraid of death itself, but they are afraid of what happens after death.

Many of the people present already have descendants. Their purpose of joining the army is for their children and families. They want to bring benefits to themselves and their families by earning military salary. Moreover, according to Kazdaele’s system, those who die in battle will Families of soldiers can receive large pensions.

Many Sakaz people came for the money, but when they saw those two sentences, they hesitated.

No money?What if we die on the battlefield, what will happen to our families?

The banshee on the side repeated over and over again to the Sakaz who came here:

"The legion you are about to join is going to complete an unprecedented great mission. If this mission can be completed successfully, our Kazdaele will be able to get rid of the current predicament, and our people can also receive unprecedented rich rewards. "

"But please note

, because our current situation is already very serious, so even Marquis Agaritu cannot promise you anything. If we fail in the end, then we will completely lose everything, including our lives... and Kazdaele behind us. "

"Whether it's pensions or military pay, Marquis Agaritu can't promise you all. What we can promise is that after this legion completes its training, it can only last two weeks of rations before departure, and a Combat equipment provided by the Marquis himself.”

"There is no money, no title, only one mission goal. If it is completed, Kazdale can be preserved, and the Sakaz family can continue. If it is not completed, we will disappear into the wilderness."

This…

The blood has gone cold.

The Sakaz people stopped, calmed down, and began to think about the pros and cons.

Katzdale is really good now, really, but is it really worth sacrificing our lives for, even if we can't even get a gold coin or a bag of flour?

Is all this really worth it?

"Get out of the way, get out of the way! You're blocking me!"

A rough and brutal roar came from the crowd, approaching from far away.

The crowd slowly opened a gap, and a black-robed one-eyed old mercenary squeezed to the door and in front of the banshee clerk.

"Is that the old blind man?"

"What does he want to do?"

The old blind man took two deep breaths to adjust his breath.

He looked into the recruitment point and shouted with the loudest voice in his life:

"Agaritu!!"

"Lord Marquis! Is that you?!"

"Are you really Agaritu? Are you the Agaritu who told us in the wilderness that our descendants can read?!"

Silence, silence.

People looked at the old blind man and didn't know what he was doing for a while.

"Old man, please come and be fine... Do you still like my gift?"

At the recruitment point, Shen Muke's answer made the old blind man blush all of a sudden.

"Hey! I knew it, I knew it!"

"My one eye is much more reliable than those guys with two eyes!!"

The old blind man had no worries at all. He stood there and put the blood in his chest to his forehead——

"Marquis! You said you can't get military pay or pension...it doesn't matter! The old blind man has lived half his life and has long forgotten about gold and gems!"

"I only ask you one question, Marquis!"

"You said in the wilderness that Sakaz's descendants will one day sit in a bright room and study like those noble children, and they can all live a good life. You said that, right?!"

"I don't want anything from you today, I just want to ask you one question!"

"Marquis, do you mean what you say?!"

Marquis, do you mean what you say?

In the wilderness, this roar spread to everyone's heart, and people were waiting for Agaritu's answer.
