Chapter 1413: What Do You Want to Choose?
"The war is getting more and more serious. Huh, those who will be war mercenaries in the future are almost all cannon fodder." Green looked at the small village that was destroyed in the flames of war in front of him, and the surviving residents looked at the burning village with confused expressions. The small village, if they hadn't come in a timely manner, there would be no living people here... Oh, it is impossible to completely destroy it.
There must be no resistance. The strong men will be taken away and sold. There are many places where people are employed during the war. It is very useful to use these people as slaves and cannon fodder, and the price is also very cheap. There are other uses for children. Women Words are more valuable if they are beautiful, and those who can do it to these small villages are not doing it purely for the purpose of killing.
Wouldn't it be better to take advantage of something like human trafficking than simply kill?
Even some old, weak, sick and disabled can exchange a few gold coins from some cultists, and all they have to do is pay some ropes and the like.
This is not the first time Oss and the others have solved this situation.
"It's also fortunate that the world is changing rapidly recently, and there are many ways to resettle refugees like this." Garcia said in a solemn tone, like these refugees, it was difficult to resettle them during the previous war, and basically no one wanted them. Yes, of course, in order to prevent these refugees from being collected and used as cannon fodder by others, they are more often massacred or dealt with in other ways.
It’s different now, because of the new policy, civilians are very protected, human resources are very important, even refugees can become good magic batteries, as for the name of the magic battery, it’s a bit of a thing, but in fact it’s completely gone Be a refugee.
Refugees also have the opportunity to get soul gem loans, provided they are young enough and have no hidden dangers. Of course, their soul gem loans need to be repaid much more than ordinary people. Ordinary people use the lowest soul gems, even with the worst arrangements. Repayment by means of resources can be guaranteed at least within ten years, while for refugees it is about 30 years.
This cannot be said to be oppressing refugees, but in the past, refugees would not be regarded as ordinary people at all, let alone civilians, even the poor have many who look down on refugees. Soul gem loans are divided into several grades. The standard ten-year option, of course, can also choose a longer one, but it is not necessary, and the status of the poor can be doubled or more. Nice treat too.
At least they still have a way to survive, the way to live well without being threatened with their lives, the price is to lose a certain degree of freedom. After all, after signing the soul gem loan, in order to ensure that they can get enough magic power, the people in power and It is impossible for lenders to allow such refugees to haunt some areas beyond their control, and they can only move within a certain range for thirty years.
To be honest, this is much better than before. They just lost a certain degree of freedom. As long as they work hard enough, they may not be able to repay the soul gem loan in advance. At the same time, they can still do some things they like with limited freedom, so refugees It's not difficult to resettle. After this small village was affected by the flames of war, the remaining ones are basically the stronger ones.
"Come with us, we will send you to a safe place, and of course we will get the corresponding rewards when we get there." Green walked to the front of the group of refugees with his bow and arrow on his back, looking at the disturbed refugees They said: "You must know that although you have become refugees, you are still treasures in the eyes of some people in power."
"... Take it easy, adventurer, you are not going to send us to the cultists, are you?"
"That's not necessary. If we really want to send you to the cultists, it's enough for us to just make a bloody sacrifice on the spot, or do you think you have this value?" Green took out a magic stone coin in his hand Although it is a face value magic stone coin, things like magic stone coins have been popular for a long time. Originally, these refugees had no chance to come into contact with magic stone coins.
But they heard from some adventurers or mercenaries that a magic stone coin with the lowest face value is worth a hundred gold coins! Most of the people present don't know what the magic stone coin looks like, a huge sum of money that they will never be able to touch in their lifetime, but some of them have seen it...
So the group of refugees fell silent. As for greedy thoughts? Don't think too much, they can see very clearly that those bandits who gathered outside the village were wiped out with one knife, all with one knife, and dozens of them were gone with one knife. Fart professionals can compare.
There is nothing to say. This group of professionals has no idea what they can do. All in all, they are full of fear for Oss and others. With this level of fear, it is much easier for Oss and others to arrange for these refugees Yes, plus their current identities, it is quite easy to deal with this group of refugees. It doesn't matter if there are too many people, just renting a large flatbed trailer is enough.
During the war, many people seized the opportunity. A large trailer is a huge flat plate with some simple magic-treated wheels underneath. It can hold dozens of people at a time. When it is pulled up, the wheels have simple magic treatment. , not heavy.
A good product with high quality and low price, mainly used for collecting corpses in the battlefield.
Pulling people is also very suitable.
"It's you again...don't send people here next time. The number of people is close to saturation. Let me tell you another place." The registrar who received Oss looked at Oss and the others, feeling a little emotional Said, he doesn't need to do this if he is another professional. Oss is a well-known strong man, so he deserves to be received in this way.
There is no harm in building a good relationship with such a strong man, and what he pays is only a little extra travel. This is not the first time the registrar has seen Oss here. During this time, they have come here almost ten times. Each time brought a considerable number of refugees.
These refugees are undoubtedly recruited by the war. It is also a national policy to recruit refugees in this place. Regarding the policy of soul gem loans, the area where refugees are recruited is near the important cities of the empire. The refugees who come here must accept their souls if they want to survive. Gem loan, give yourself a perennial soul gem loan.
Of course, if you disagree, then continue to be an unwelcome refugee. If you agree, you will be assigned to an area for construction work, and the construction work will be carried out around important cities. With the city as the center, build some It is a village or town like a satellite.
In short, they not only have to bear the long-term soul gem loan, but also engage in some construction work. While they will not be idle, their productivity must also be unearthed. As for whether someone will run away later, don’t expect anything. Although the soul gem loan is not a strong contract, such a contract depends on the person. For this group of refugees, an ordinary contract is more than enough.
Even if there is a follow-up mandatory cracking, the cost of cracking far exceeds the cost released by the empire. If someone is willing to do that, the empire will recognize it. Those who are willing to do that can solve ten or one hundred, and they can Solve 10,000 or 100,000?
Even if they are exhausted, they can't do it.
Of course, this kind of policy will also prevent some people from pretending to be refugees and trying to smuggle in. This is easy to confirm. The existence of the magic network makes it easy to confirm news in many places, and it can even affect every village in the empire! Ask about the origins of the refugees, and then check the relevant records to confirm the origins of these people.
Don't be afraid to lie.
"Thank you very much." Oss accepted a thin small bag from the registrar. There were not many gold coins in it, and Oss didn't care about it. Refugees are not that valuable, but they are more valuable than those bought by slaves Some, but not too many. Generally speaking, it is more profitable, but it is not worth some people's risky operation of slaughtering and selling refugees. If they are found out, they will not be fined.
"No...you are lucky to have professionals like you in the war." The registrar shook his head and said, he didn't say too much nonsense, such as why Oss is so powerful, why didn't he stop the war? Madonna whore-smelling nonsense.
Powerful professionals can certainly influence wars, but more influences are more likely to cause accidents. Simply put, everyone used normal thermal weapons to fight in the early stage. In the later stage, nuclear weapons were used too much, so there was no psychological burden. That's it, everyone can grow mushrooms casually.
Oss is very powerful, able to decide many wars, but the enemy is not weak. To be honest, a powerful professional who is not subject to the orders and arrangements of the empire, like Oss, it is good to do some things within the normal range That kind of behavior of running over to control a war at every turn, the side that receives help may not thank them, not to mention the small country, it is profitable to get help.
For the empire, sometimes this kind of help will only bring additional troubles and variables. It was originally a special show of weakness, but it was disturbed by such a group of professionals. It was not useful at all, but it was for nothing. part of the bait.
As far as the registrar knows, the activities of Oss and others have always been very restrained, and their involvement in the war is also done as a war mercenary, instead of jumping left and right, they will accept the war mercenaries of the Rabst Empire for a while The task will be accepted from the side of the Sato Empire in a while, and they are basically operating within the territory of the Labust Empire.
The participating war mercenary missions all understand it, so they can naturally make joint arrangements, so as not to let some overly powerful professionals do bad things or break some potential rules, leading to greater chaos in the war. People are also a kind of strange work among war mercenaries.
They don't interfere with what other war mercenaries are doing, but they always do their own things well, because these war mercenaries don't see what they do to them. If you can't beat it, and you can't provoke it, what else can you do? In short, that's it, they can go if they want to take the small and fresh route, it's enough not to disturb them.
Doing these things, Oss and the others don’t think there is anything bad about it. Needless to say, Green is an old bird among adventurers. War has affected the life of adventurers. Doing something to help others is a new kind of According to Garcia, the Pseudo-God Cult of Blue Rage itself has a part to support the weak. After all, the power type is biased towards the guardian type. In terms of benefits? Having been adventuring with Oss for so long, he really doesn't need money anymore, and he doesn't feel like he has anything.
As for Berserker Fred, let alone, Berserkers are titles brought about by their blood. Although they are war-loving, they are not lunatics who like to kill. They often dismiss the weak, but seeing that kind of People who attack the weak every now and then are extra displeasing to the eye. It is a shame to attack the weak. If you want to show your strength, you should attack the strong.
Besides, there is no shortage of battles in this kind of thing, and Fred doesn't have any opinions, let alone Oss. He used to be a poor man and is not a refugee, but his living conditions are close to those of refugees...
Generally speaking, idleness is idleness. Just when you can’t do the classic things or don’t have the opportunity to do them, you can simply do some things that you can pass the time and feel comfortable with. When helping refugees, if you can meet It would be even better to go to the dark church. Of course, finding one or two strongholds of the dark church is also a part of daily life.
"Let's go." After recording the new location shared by the registrar, Oss nodded and left the registration point. The registrar waved to his opponents.
"Distribute them according to age, and pick out those who are not in good health."
Those who are in good health will receive the soul gem loan. Of course, there will be science popularization before this. Those who are not in good health refer to those who are old or have other diseases that cannot be cured. This type will be directly invested in construction work. Or send it somewhere else...
There is no need to say this. Even the Rabster Empire cannot waste some resources in vain during the war. People who can really play a role will be well kept. Those who have hidden diseases themselves are not that useful, so they will be arranged separately. It is a good result not to let them fend for themselves, although there are indeed such arrangements in colder places.
"Let's go back to Puli Dungeon." On the way back, Oss looked back from the summoning book of the magic soldiers and said, the dark posts are more detailed and fast during the war, so a lot of information is fleeting. , I found it useful a moment ago, but it may not be useful after a few minutes.
Oss is not a professional intelligence analyst, because he missed a lot of opportunities, and even encountered a lot of additional attacks. In general, the mainland is becoming less and less friendly to them now...or it is the dark church's attack on them. Targeting has started to increase again, and this is after the emergence of the dark web.
Oss and others have been in contact with the dark network, the temple network, and after comparison, the magic soldier network is more comfortable to use in daily life. The temple network is too strict, and the things involved in it are also very hard Nuclear, welcomed by some but not all.
At least a professional like Oss who lacks knowledge and literacy feels a little bored and panic, not as friendly as the Magic Bing Network, so he still got a Templar Network card, the one from the Dark Church? Pull it down, jumping to the past is enough, and directly applying for a dark network card is not making him feel guilty.
Oss is also worried that the Dark Church will use the background authority to determine their detailed location on the dark network. Just in case, just don’t give the Dark Church the corresponding opportunity, just like this, one card for the Holy Church, one magic card An Internet card is enough for soldiers, and Oss has been exposed to the dark network, and the content inside is too dark.
After browsing for ten minutes, there are several information about some slave trades, and some are used and killed. As for other topics, there are too few rules. As a result, the environment inside is relatively bad, um... Maybe the Dark Church also felt that it was too casual, and some restrictions were also made in the subsequent updates.
At least it wasn't the initial one where eight out of ten posts were swearing, but now this ratio has been reduced to one-fifth to one-tenth, and the rest are considered normal, and can be involved Things are not normal.
Anyway, Oss doesn't like to watch it very much. On the dark web, Oss has seen their dark wanted warrants.
"That's good, we also got a new soul gem in our operation recently, and it's time to deal with this thing after we go back this time." Green nodded. They have been active outside for a long time. With this kind of combat power, if you continue to be a war mercenary, you will be reduced to the status of a cannon fodder. Can you fight? Being able to fight is just a bit more powerful cannon fodder.
The intensification of the war has turned the existence of dark warriors who can abuse high-level fighters into cannon fodder... Of course, the main reason why they became cannon fodder so quickly is the update of the world version. The update of the new world version allows normal professionals to be restrained The special power of Witch Power.
Some people even brought out the soul gem with the power of the saint, and the existence of the templar, so that all professionals have a wave of strengthening, keep up with the times, at least they will not be easily killed by the dark warrior, can To avoid being tortured and killed, then there is a way to fight back... So the dark warrior has the meaning of developing into cannon fodder.
The times are changing too fast, and there is nothing to do about the dark warriors who were originally capable of becoming like this. Of course, there are a lot of special witch powers in the dark church, such as shadow walkers, cursed warriors, flame mages, etc. are all transformed from witch powers. special occupations.
They have also become the best targets for testing these new cannon fodder, it is time to improve themselves, quickly use the soul gems to obtain new powers, cultivate them and reach a complementary state with their original powers, and then come back , and then find the Church of Darkness to regain their place and let them feel the changes of the times.
"Then let's go."
Garcia and Fred also have no objection, before there were not enough soul gems, but now there are enough soul gems, and they are all high-level ones. What they need to think about is not the source of soul gems, but the special power that needs to be selected. It was considered long ago.
The power you choose must not be chosen randomly, that would be too much of a waste of the unique power resource of the soul gem, just like Fred, with the premise that he has the spirit curing potion, he can completely go through the infinite berserk flow Route, soul gem chooses a magic power that enhances recovery.
As long as the magic power in the soul gem is not exhausted, the body will be in a continuous high-speed self-healing state. When it is deeply mad, it can maintain its physical state all the time before the magic power is exhausted, allowing itself to maintain a constant state. This kind of super-strong upper limit of endurance allows the deep madness to continuously affect the almost unlimited increase of its own strength... This kind of plan made Fred very jealous in the past.
In other words, even a berserker will be envious because of this, but the problem of uncontrollable berserkers after berserk makes them feel heartache while being envious, infinite berserk, the half dream of berserkers, the complete dream is infinite madness While transforming, it can also ensure its own consciousness.
Without the influence of a sobriety, there is nothing to say, no matter how infinitely crazy it is, it may be used by others, just like a nuclear bomb, if it is thrown in the wrong place, it will kill not only the enemy, but also our own people! This is what Fred struggled with, whether it is the infinite madness of violence or the sober madness combination that matches his teammates.
In essence, he prefers the latter. Although the former can convince himself with the spirit-fixing potion, can he always have the spirit-fixing potion? Also, the green hair of Green is still beeping. Based on his own bloodline ability, he can make the power of the soul gem more restorative...
After going back this time, I have to think about it carefully.
