Chapter 3345 Recruitment

I always thought that Carter Horton was the all-powerful dictator in Airey City, but I didn’t expect that he was just a puppet of the aristocratic group.

"Where is Simmons Locke?" I asked curiously: "Is he also a puppet of the York-Hancheng aristocratic group?"

"He is not" Master Dewey shook his head slightly and said: "He is the real monarch of York and Han City and the only ruler of the royal family and aristocratic group of York and Han City."

"Ai Rui City and York City, two countries so close to each other, why do the highest political powers have completely opposite situations?"

"The problem here is very simple to say simple, but very complicated to say complex."

"Give me the simple answer," I said.

"Different backgrounds and different strengths."

Master Dewey explained: "With Simmons Locke's strength, even among the national forces, he is still at a mid-level level, but Carter Horton is just a novice who can't even achieve transformation."

"In terms of family background, Carter Horton's family is just a new family that emerged during the legendary hero period, while Simmons Locke's family is an ancient family that has experienced countless ups and downs. Both of them have penetrated the country. It’s a completely different degree.”

"So, the genocide incident has nothing to do with Carter Horton?" I asked curiously: "Everything was caused by the aristocratic group, and Carter Horton was just the one who took the blame?"

"I don't know about that," Master Dewey said. "Whether Carter Horton is simply taking the blame or not, the fact that the genocide occurred during his reign cannot be escaped."

"How should I put it?" I thought for a while and murmured, "I feel a bit pitiful."

"Pity?" Master Dewey smiled and shook his head: "From the moment he ascended the throne of the city lord with the help of the noble group, he had to be prepared to endure all this. This is his fate."

At the end of his words, his tone suddenly became serious.

"Fate"

I murmured.

While I was staying in Fort Vicky, the Allied forces of Airey City and York City once again collided with the army of Dasha City.

The cause of this collision was a rich iron ore vein.

It is a coincidence that half of the iron ore contained in this rich iron vein is within the territory of Dashai City and the other half is within the territory of Airui City.

If this happened within the borders of York, Hancheng and Airui, the matter would be easier to handle. The two countries could negotiate and develop together.

The relationship between Koda Cyber ​​City and Ai Rui City is not good, so naturally they will not agree to joint development, and they both want to buy this rich iron mine as their own.

So here’s the problem. The rich iron ore vein spans the territory of two countries. Whoever takes it as their own will also get a large piece of land.

What the hell is the difference between this and opening up new territories?

Neither the old Duke nor Carter Horton wanted to be the criminals who lost their land when they succeeded as the supreme ruler of the country.

So a big war inevitably started.

This battle was much more intense than the previous contact battles.

After a great war, thousands of adventurers died on the battlefield, and tens of thousands of adventurers were injured. The number of adventurers who were completely unharmed accounted for less than one-twentieth of the total number of adventurers.

It can be seen that the brutality of this war is exaggerated.

Even so, neither of the two forces was willing to take a step back.

Just continue to station, increase the number of troops, and set up a larger base at the station, planning to have a protracted war.

Although the monarchs of both factions looked fierce, the adventurers of both factions looked listless.

Compared with war, they prefer to be adventurers, slay monsters, level up, make money, find a wife, and have a few children. These are probably their entire life goals, but because of the monarchs of three countries Due to the contradiction between them, they had to stand on the opposite side with their fellow human beings, fighting, bleeding, and dying. With such a huge gap, how can they get motivated?

But even so, they still had to carry out the orders issued by the commanders of the two forces.

Among them, some adventurers tried to escape.

Once an adventurer who is recruited as a soldier escapes, he will immediately be judged as a deserter, and the fate of deserters is often not good.

Either he will be killed to scare the monkeys, or he will be imprisoned.

This is the law that Airey City and York City have always followed. It was before, it is now, and it will be in the future. Unless someone overthrows the two countries and remakes their laws, this law will continue forever. .

Therefore, those adventurers who wanted to escape were killed by their own people and became the worst batch of dead souls.

Speaking of which, I firmly disagree with this law.

Other than the five major guilds, the countries in the Zephyr Continent do not have strict and absolute military structures, and they do not enjoy the treatment given by the country.

It can be said that the troops recruited from the people by Ai Rui City and York Han City are no different from mercenaries. They do not receive any benefits except normal commissions.

In this way, when facing danger and falling into despair, if these adventurers are not allowed to escape, they will either die on the battlefield or run wildly in the direction of death on the battlefield. Once they stop or retreat, they will be attacked. to the slaughter of his own people.

I don’t know if it is appropriate to use the word “own” here. Perhaps from the beginning, those regular army adventurers did not regard this group of civilian adventurers as their own.

They also treat private adventurers, but the other three countries have completely different attitudes.

Let’s talk about Dashai City first. The recruitment of private adventurers in Dashai City is completely voluntary, and the families of adventurers who die on the battlefield will receive an extremely generous pension. This pension is enough to support the family for several years. Ten years of daily use.

It is for this reason that the adventurers recruited by the people of Dasai City are extremely brave in battle, and you will find that the lower the level of the adventurer, the braver it is, and the adventurers who have no hope of improving their strength are not afraid of it. sacrifice.

This creates a phenomenon - military soul.

Yes, the so-called military spirit is the embodiment of the military's momentum. It is precisely because they have no worries and are not afraid of death that they can fight against the armies of two countries with the strength of one country.

Moonlight City and Dashai City are different.

Moonlight City is rich, and every month it pays a fixed salary to all its citizens. Although this salary is not much, it is enough for a person to spend a month with nothing to do. If he saves some money, he can also save some money.

The welfare benefits accumulated over the years have given the people of Moonlight City a strong sense of belonging.

This also caused Moonlight City's people to actively queue up to join the army when recruiting troops. Because of this, Moonlight City has never had to worry about the number of soldiers.
