1146 Mercenaries(1/2)
"Leberdenna is almost out of money."
This sentence immediately made Jeremy's expression become fierce, and the feeling that his trump card and weaknesses were seen through was quite annoyed.
What annoyed him even more was that this was still a human being.
"There is no place for you to speak here, a humble human." Jeremy shouted heavily. He stood up and was about to slap Beta, but suddenly stopped.
There was no shock in the eyes of the human in front of me, only a sarcastic smile and a sharp light.
After a long battle, he immediately returned to the chair and looked at Beta with a shady and gaze.
He felt dangerous just now.
Angela also discovered what Jeremy wanted to do at this time. She slapped her seat and stood up suddenly, and said coldly: "Jeremy, who do you want to kill? Well!"
Although Jeremy is indeed stronger than Angela, Angela is really not afraid of him.
This is Erpu City, her city. There are two hundred succubus guarding outside the palace, and Li Lin is also next to her, so what is she afraid of?
"I didn't want to kill anyone, I just felt very angry when I thought I was almost out of money." As he spoke, his eyes were still staring at Beta.
Beta could feel the sharpness in the other person's eyes, but he still didn't care.
"Are you a guest or better to retain your personality?" Angela snorted and sat down again: "So, what do you want to do?"
Jeremy was a little frustrated. He came here mainly to get a way to catch fish. If it really didn't work, he also wanted to extort some food from Angela's hands.
As Beta said, Leberdanna City was almost out of money, but the war with Fossia was still in a state of confrontation.
Not only did he want food, he also hoped that Angela could send troops to help.
As long as he can destroy the city of Foshiya, he is still the one who has the final say around him.
At that time, Angela's Alpua City will be the thing in his hands.
But he never expected that Angela of Erpuja is not only very tough, but also seemed to be very good at her human sheriff.
Things are in a little trouble.
"We need food," Jeremy said. "Your sheriff is smart. We really have no money, but we can pay in other ways. It's up to you, as long as we can."
The feeling of frustration became more and more intense, but Jeremy had to bow her head.
It was obvious that Angela, a few months ago, was said to have no chance to even provoke Lime City and had to pay taxes, but now she dares to scold him Jeremy.
This is not right.
When did this happen?
That human came here?
"We only have money," Angela said lightly: "Besides, there is nothing produced in Leberdanna."
Jeremy frowned.
If it was the previous Erpu City, he could win it even without any thoughts, but now Erpu City has become a difficult bone to crack. It is impossible for him to go to war with two cities at the same time.
Otherwise, he would definitely be the one who was destroyed.
But without food, his city won't last long.
At this time, Beta suddenly spoke: "I wonder if Lord Jeremy had ever heard of mercenaries?"
"Nature has heard of things made by humans."
"You sent some soldiers to us and served for half a year. Every hundred soldiers from Leberdanna can exchange for thirty tons of grain or five tons of jerky, what do you think?"
Angela looked at Beta in surprise, her expression was a little weird, but she did not stop Beta's suggestion.
Jeremy looked at Angela and found that she had no intention of stopping the man from talking nonsense, so she had some other guesses in her mind.
"What do you want soldiers to do?" Jeremy asked vigilantly.
"Of course it's to protect yourself." Beta smiled.
After thinking for a while, Jeremy asked, "What kind of soldier is OK?"
"Anyone who has fought a war is fine."
Jeremy thought for a while and there were a bunch of wounded soldiers over there and disabled soldiers who were worried that there was no place to be placed, so she said happily: "Okay, there is no problem with this, but I just want to ask something clearly. Will these soldiers be returned to us in half a year?"
"I let them decide whether to stay or not!"
"Then there is no problem!" Jeremy thought for a while and said, "I'll exchange 60 tons of grain and five tons of jerky fish first. I wonder if you would like it?"
Angela looked at Beta with a look of inquisitive expression on her face.
Beta nodded to her and said, "Contract."
Angela sighed. She didn't understand what Beta wanted to do, but she still signed a contract with Jeremy.
Four hours later, Jeremy led a team of people and left with dozens of tons of food.
Angela stood on the wall and asked, "Why did she suddenly ask their soldiers? She was not afraid of their riots after they came in?"
"Jeremy will definitely send the old, weak, sick and disabled over here, and will still hungry them. There is no possibility of riots at the beginning." Beta smiled.
Angela frowned: "You know that, but you still want it?"
"The elderly, weak, sick and disabled are not really the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, but the wounded soldiers and lack medical treatment." Beta explained: "As long as they are well treated, they can become good soldiers."
"But we have to let them go in half a year." Angela was a little puzzled: "Wouldn't that help them cure the soldiers? It's a big loss."
Beta shook his head: "The contract says, let them go, we don't force them to keep them. But whether they are willing to leave or not is another matter."
Angela was stunned for a moment, then said happily: "I understand, you are so smart. You want those soldiers to feel the goodness of our city, so they stayed, right?"
Beta nodded: "Most of those who can become soldiers are orderly and evil, and can join us in Alpua City. As for how many people they can leave in half a year, it depends on whether we are good to them."
Angela narrowed her charming eyes: "I understand."
Two days later, a 300-man demon army was sent to Erpu City.
As expected by Beta, they were all old, weak, sick and disabled.
But Beta smiled happily instead.
He felt a sense of the battlefield in these soldiers.
He actually sent the veterans who had experienced the war.
This Jeremy was just that. Beta ticked up disdainfully.
Actually, Jeremy is not blamed.
In the demon world, food represents magic and power.
If you are hungry, you won’t even use magic.
Leberdanna City is short of food, and everyone is half hungry and full, so who has the extra energy to take care of others?
If a negative energy healing spell continues, you will be even hungry.
If you don’t have the strength, you will probably not survive the next battle.
But Erpu City is different. Although the succubus girls don’t go to the street to squeeze juice now, they can eat enough every day and eat some jerky fish and will not go hungry at all.
As a rare race in the demon world who knows negative energy healing techniques, succubus comes in handy at this time.
These three hundred wounded soldiers came to Erpu City, not only to eat enough, but also to treat them with beautiful and gentle succubus ladies.
At this time, in their eyes, succubus was no less than the angels in the eyes of humans.
Then, you can get a room to live in!
Compared with Leberdanna, such treatment is simply a difference between heaven and earth.
Now, more than half of these 300 demon soldiers have "rejected" in less than ten days after coming to Erpuja City, and the rest are also shaken.
"Why don't you directly select some people from our citizens to train them into soldiers?" Angela asked, "Although these 300 wounded soldiers do look a bit like an army after they are cured, they are still more trustworthy."
Beta explained: "Of course his soldiers need them. But these three hundred soldiers are seeds. Neither succubus nor those trained soldiers have ever really been on the battlefield and are all novices. If there are veterans in the war and mingling among them, they can really stabilize their morale well when they arrive on the battlefield."
"Have you thought so far?" Angela felt a little disappointed. After staying with Beta for a long time, she felt more and more useless.
But then she cheered up again. What does it matter if she was useless? Just Li Lin is good.
"It's not that I think far, it's just experience." Beta said: "I'm not as evil as you think, I just experienced more things than you."
"Talking nonsense, how many years have you lived, how many years have I lived?" Such comfort Qila was not fooled at all, but instead retorted: "I have seen a lot of demons who have lived for four or five hundred years, and they have definitely experienced a lot, but I have never seen a single one like you who have great combat power and internal affairs."
"Being too modest is being flirted."
Angela snorted and flew away.
Beta shook his head and continued to deal with the security incident.
Not long after, Penelope "walked" in and she placed the map in front of Beta.
"This is probably the terrain within 300 kilometers of the upstream and downstream of the river."
While looking at the topographic map, Beta asked, "Penelope, why have you been reluctant to terminate the slave contract?"
"Where did I go to find such a good job, I could eat enough every day, and I didn't have to worry about being beaten by my master, let alone being eaten as jerky."
