Chapter 679 Goblin Mercenaries

Chapter 688 Goblin Mercenaries

"You don't need to pledge allegiance to me. I'm just a general of the kingdom. When the king comes back, you need to pledge allegiance to him!" Raynor shook his head and said to Alistar.

"Where are we stationed before that?" Alistar looked at Raynor, wondering where he would arrange them.

"Let's cross the river first! This is not the sphere of influence controlled by the kingdom. Windhelm Town is still just a pioneer territory. You can't stay here!" Raynor shook his head at Alistar. Windhelm Town is so big that it can't stand the goblins' abuse. If they let go and eat them, Windhelm Town will go bankrupt.

"Okay, General!" Alistar nodded happily. The wild goblins have been living in the open air for years, and no one has hired them in the dark forest, which has led to the miserable living conditions of this goblin tribe. They have no food to eat, and these pigs need to be domesticated, which makes the life of the wild goblins even more difficult. These pigs are their friends and partners. The wild goblins will bury the dead pigs and offer sacrifices and prayers. Although these pigs are not big, they are still very gluttonous... So the wild goblins have long wanted to find a long-term meal ticket.

"Notify them to bring the ferry over!" Renault said to the griffin knight in the sky. After hearing Renault's order, the griffin knight immediately disappeared into the horizon.

"General Renault?" Ismir quietly approached Renault and whispered.

"What's wrong?" Renault raised his eyelids.

"Can I hire some Goblin Knights?" Ishmir said a little embarrassedly, after all, this was to intercept the king.

"Of course! You can talk to them yourself. The kingdom recruits them just to be prepared, and it does not conflict with you hiring them!" Renault nodded. After all, how many Goblin Knights can Ishmir recruit with his family resources? The big head still falls on Roland.

Recruiting these wild goblins was also a temporary idea of ​​Renault. After all, as soon as he thought about Roland's plan, he knew that the kingdom's military strength was still lacking. These Goblin Knights can just be used as low-end combat power to complement the kingdom's soldiers. Thousands of pig riders can't rush through the human square flag knights, but they can always rush through the Dongyi chariots and infantry, right? After all, as one of the three riders, the combat effectiveness of the pig riders is still guaranteed.

"Thank you!" Ishmir stroked his chest and said, which was equivalent to Renault doing him a favor in advance. Ishmir remembered this favor.

...

"Sir Alistar?" Ismir and Ymir found the goblin chieftain who was gathering his tribesmen. This goblin was obviously taller than the other wild goblins, and with the gorgeous feather crown on his head, he was still easy to find.

"Uh? What's up?" Alistar pulled a pig's ear with one hand and drove the domesticated pigs. These pigs were not annoyed and gathered together obediently along the position where Alistar was pulling.

"Well, I want to recruit some goblin knights!" Ismir nodded and said, he explained his purpose in a concise manner.

"Hmm?" Alistar was stunned and didn't react.

"I'm afraid this is not good? I just promised General Renault that our tribe will fight for the kingdom!" Alistar said in embarrassment, after all, it's not easy to find a meal ticket.

"General Renault agreed, and he allowed me to recruit a group of goblin knights to protect my territory!" Ismir shook his head and explained.

"This is your pioneering territory, no wonder it's so desolate." Alistar muttered, otherwise this pioneering territory was too desolate and he wouldn't have brought his people to graze at the gate of someone else's town, but fortunately he came, otherwise where would he find a long-term meal ticket!

"Okay, how many people do you plan to recruit? Long-term or short-term employment? I'm not bragging! Our Wild Goblin Mercenaries are absolutely worth the money!" Alistar said proudly.

In fact, it is indeed as he said, the Wild Goblin Mercenaries are worth the money! These goblins can really fight for their employers to the last soldier! For them, the Ringwraiths are useless if the gold coins are in place! As long as they are paid enough, they will definitely fight for their employers vigorously! In addition, the Wild Goblins are more fertile and grow fast, which can be regarded as the best high-quality cannon fodder!

"How is the long-term fee charged and how is the short-term fee charged?" Ismir asked curiously, it seems that these goblins are very professional, and they are divided into long-term and short-term jobs!

"Long-term 10 gold coins per person, the contract ends when you are no longer able to fight, and no pension is required for death in battle! Short-term calculation is based on the battle, 1-5 gold coins per battle, calculated according to the difficulty of the battle, and 5 gold coins are required for death in battle!" Alistar took out an ancient parchment from his waist and read it.

"No deception! It has been the same price for several eras." Afraid that Ishmir would be scared by the price, Alistar added another sentence.

"Well, then hire 10 goblin knights!" Ishmir took out a still warm purse from his arms, which contained his only remaining 100 gold coins in reserve.

"Okay!" Alistar took out a few gold coins from it and bit them with his teeth.

"..." Ishmir.

"..." Ymir.

"Habit, habit!" Alistar smiled and scratched his head. He also felt a little embarrassed just now.

"My lords, wait a moment, I will go to gather the soldiers!" Alistar hung the purse on his Tutu pig saddle and nodded to Ishmir and the others.

...

"Come here!" Alistar stopped a group of goblin knights who were moving their belongings.

The knights immediately put down their work and gathered beside Alistar. It was obvious that Alistar had a high prestige in the tribe!

"This... um? What's your name?" Alistar pointed at Ismir and said to the knights. Halfway through, he remembered that he didn't know Ismir's name yet.

"Lord Ismir of Windhelm!" Ismir nodded and recognized his future subordinates.

"Yes, yes, yes! Lord Ismir has hired you for a long time. You will stay for a while. You don't have to migrate with the tribe!" Alistar took out a handful of gold coins from his purse and gave five to each goblin knight.

"Go back to see your family and arrange everything!" Alistar said calmly.

"Yes!" This team of goblin knights did not have any sadness of life and death. They turned around and left calmly one by one. Obviously, for goblin mercenaries like the Savage Goblins, it is normal to be away from home for a long time, and it is not surprising that they will never see their families again in the future.

"Ah? What are they doing?" Ymir looked at the Goblin Knights who returned to the crowd and found that the knights not only gave all the money to their families, but also began to take off their clothes and left their scattered weapons and accessories. When they gathered again, Ysmir and Ymir were shocked to see the Goblins riding pigs and running naked in front of them... These Goblins left everything to the tribe except their leather pants.

"Sorry, I forgot to say that long-term employment does not include equipment..." Alistar blushed a little. Fortunately, the skin of the wild goblins is light green, otherwise it would be difficult to hide.

"Forget it..." Ysmir waved his hand and said a little upset. Although he looked down on the primitive equipment of these Goblin Knights, he couldn't come with ten naked men!
