Chapter 580 Nora's 1 Day (2)...
Nora took a glance and found that the selected team was basically the strongest guys in the tiefling. They are generally "transformed" hunting team members who are more than three meters tall and have great strength.
Obviously, the work just now was just a cover for selection. Nora had some expectations in her heart.
A total of twenty-seven tieflings were led by soldiers from the outer city into the inner city. At this moment, when they looked up, they could all see the huge Pasha'er Tower, and at the same time, they were amazed by the floating towers floating in the surrounding sky, especially the central floating tower that was almost covered by clouds...
Has the human world other than the Tasman developed to this point?
Nora was unconsciously filled with awe. Along the way, they saw transport ships shuttling back and forth in the city more than once, and they also saw the flickering lights of some buildings, and even saw a floating tower absorbing a column of water in the distance and spraying it towards the ground. go…
All the scenes in front of her were shocking Nora's common sense, so that when the team finally stopped outside the barracks, she noticed the orc prisoners who were being escorted out by teams.
Muscular and tall orcs lined up in an untidy line, walking towards the outside of the city one by one amidst the shouts of human soldiers. Obviously, the construction of towns outside Elson City urgently needs these high-quality coolies. Large areas of cleared woods have freed up huge open spaces. In addition to farming farmland, Rody has already planned to build a brand new town next to the river in the southeast of the city.
This town will be the first stop of the "transport ship" out of Elson City in the future, and it will also be the first large-scale comprehensive residential area he built for the dense population in the future!
But at this time, Nora obviously didn't understand this. She could only judge that these orcs were defeated enemies, because there were always those who refused to obey discipline and were whipped by soldiers, and these smelly guys didn't have neat clothes on them.
"More than 20,000 orcs tried to attack Elson City a few days ago. After they failed, they were captured. This is what happened to Lord Roddy."
Elder Luther, who arrived here in advance, uttered a voice to explain their doubts. At the same time, he took out a piece of parchment and began to speak according to the regulations on it: "Okay, come here, come here. Being selected here means that you have all received You are the best fighters among the tieflings with the approval of Lord Rody. Your salaries are higher than those left behind, and they can get about ten to fifteen silver coins per month."
"ah……"
There was a lot of exclamation below. Nora already knew the approximate price yesterday: the food that can be bought with one silver coin can be eaten by herself for five days. get enough food,
Even twice as rich.
But considering that there are still a hundred lazy people who don't want to work in the residential area, Nora can be sure that many people will starve because of this. But this has nothing to do with her. What she cares most at the moment is what she can do next and what kind of reward she will get.
"Castile Lord Rody thinks that the drudgery is too easy for you, because you have excellent physical fitness and have cultivated enough fighting skills in the forest." Luther pointed to the school field of the "barracks" next to him, and continued. : "So Lord Rody hopes that you can join the military force in Elson City. Here, regardless of whether you fight or not, you can have at least 30 silver coins in the military pay every month, and you have vacations and allowances. If you participate in the battle and make contributions It's not a dream to get thousands of silver coins!"
After saying this, the team was dead silent. The tieflings looked at each other, but they were a little confused. There were too many new words in what Luther just said. They didn't quite understand the meaning of "stipend" and "vacation", because many young people were illiterate, even " "Military pay" doesn't understand anything.
But they all understand "silver coin". Knowing that it is possible to get thousands of silver coins, many people's eyes glowed enthusiastically: If they really earn so much, they will not only eat and drink well, but also buy those bright clothes, right? Is it possible to buy more things?
The more people who have survived in a famine environment, the more they feel a sense of crisis. If possible, they all want to earn more money, and then buy a few tons of grain and store it at home for food. Even if they look at it, they will sleep peacefully every night because of the full sense of security.
"I told you in advance that although you belong to the soldiers of Elson City, you are only loyal to Lord Rody and you will be in danger of death if you encounter a battle, understand? But in Elson City, the Lord Lord will do everything you can. Try to equip you with the most powerful armament and provide the most comprehensive logistics... If you don’t want to join, you can choose to quit and continue to move the goods.”
In fact, Luther himself didn't understand what these specific meanings were, and now he was completely declaring the lesson to the parchment in his hand. But to his surprise... the selected young tieflings all decided to join after a brief hesitation!
"Give more rewards" is definitely the most tempting reason. But what really made them dare to face the threat of death and make a decision was because of the armed forces promised by Roddy...
They witnessed the feat of Roddy's cavalry team using "charged lances" to push down the undead heavy cavalry. They also saw the astonishing loss ratio of his 100-man team with zero deaths from the beginning to the end. The scene of running back and forth to treat the wounded.
Although Rody has never advertised the armed level of the troops in Elson City, the fact of killing a bloody path on the battlefield is more effective than any propaganda slogan. Worried about dying.
Seeing that everyone had signed up enthusiastically, Luther calmed down his anxiety. Although Rody didn't let Luther join the team, he set a target for him: the number of tieflings to join the team must be more than 20, if there are fewer tieflings, he will be punished, and if he finishes, he will be rewarded with 80 silver coins. Reward 50 silver coins.
He was already ready to persuade, but he didn't expect these young lads to be so cooperative. Apart from Nora, twenty-five people joined, which means that he has a lot of money to get, which is almost equivalent to the salaries of those tieflings for several years. up!
With the reward first, Luther naturally worked harder than anyone else. He smiled happily and brought the contract to everyone to sign. However, just when Nora, who stepped forward at the end, was about to press her fingerprints, Luther put away the contract and said: "Master Roddy has other tasks for you. The others will follow this Chief Carter into the barracks first. You must obey the orders and understand. Is it?"
Carter, who had long been an instructor at the Elson City barracks, took over the team. He didn't care about the language barrier at all: it was too easy for him to drill a group of recruits.
After Carter led these guys away, Luther took Nora into the Paschal Tower. After entering the door, he was also dizzy from the complicated stairs and corridors. Fortunately, Camilla had already waited here in advance. He glanced at Nora curiously, his eyes swept over the horns of her head and the tail that was always slightly raised, and then raised his hand to signal the two to follow him upstairs.
"The City Lord is waiting for you upstairs."
