Chapter 766: The Great Recruitment (Part 2)
Outside the capital.
Since the start of the great conscription, this place has become more and more lively.
Citizens of the kingdom of appropriate age will be randomly conscripted, with priority given to strong men, and there are a series of more complicated rules.
For example, after responding to the conscription and enlisting, his family will enjoy the kingdom's tax benefits and additional subsidies in the next year. If he is unfortunately killed in battle, he can also get a considerable amount of compensation.
Within 3 years after each battle, if he is selected again, he has the right to refuse to participate.
If the family is rich enough, they can also choose to pay border defense taxes, spend money to cancel their conscription orders, etc.
This system has developed to be quite mature and complete today.
For the people of the Kingdom of Reyak, the annual conscription is nothing new. Most of the men of appropriate age who are randomly conscripted will respond to the call.
Although the risk of going to the border is not low, every king will not be stingy with subsidies for the dead.
It will not lead to the tragic situation that the male owner of the family dies accidentally on the battlefield, causing his wife, children and elderly parents to have a hard time.
Moreover, with the city walls for defense and the priests of the Glowing God providing treatment behind the front line, the death rate of ordinary soldiers is not actually high.
The real death rate is actually those professionals.
Especially the warrior professionals who are the largest in number.
Because they are the main force to confront monsters head-on and even engage in close combat.
Injuries such as missing arms and legs.
With the help of the Glowing God spell, those are not something that cannot be cured.
You can become lively again after resting for a period of time.
During the defense of the monster red tide, the Glowing God Church rarely provided free treatment, even for those who died in battle. As long as the bodies can be collected and removed from the city wall in time, they can pull the souls of the dead back to the mortal world within the available time range of the [Resurrection Spell]!
Therefore
Not only healthy men of the right age responded to the call, but also some "slackers" with diseases, lameness, limping, blindness, deafness, drooling, etc. would even take the initiative to apply to join the king's army during the call, and then find a suitable opportunity to turn a minor injury into a serious injury, so as to get free Radiant Divine Arts.
Neither the money and materials of the Kingdom nor the Radiant Divine Church came from the wind.
The pensions for the real dead and the materials consumed by casting a large number of divine arts have already put a lot of pressure on the kingdom's finances. Letting those slackers join the team is a pure waste of resources.
The "knights" leading the flag battle formation will be screened for this reason.
This is also the reason why the outside of the capital city becomes lively on a cold winter day.
The nobles who responded to the call arranged their followers to hold up the flags with the family crests and shouted loudly:
"Middleton! I want to report here with Viscount Middleton's team! The one with the big stick and roses intertwined on the flag is it!"
"Viscount Francisco! There are 100 places left! Hurry up, go there to line up after reporting, 10 people in a team, don't run around, that's Baron Durant's people, don't run to the wrong place!!"
"Baron Saddam! Top-level warriors who just promoted to level 4 warriors this year, 30 people left, watch out! There are three circles and four-leaf clover on the flag, hurry up if you want to come, we will recruit enough people today, no one will wait after the time is up!"
"..."
The noisy environment is even more lively than the most prosperous place in the market of the King's Capital Trade Zone.
The "knights" who lead the flag battle formation and the militia who respond to the call are a two-way choice.
Each knight will know in advance the number of people in the battle formation he should lead.
In order to ensure that there are no problems with the defense line they guard, the "knights" hope that the soldiers under their command are all excellent soldiers who are strong, brave and fearless, and preferably have some melee skills and shield use skills.
Those soldiers who come to the assembly point to respond to the call of the King's Army also hope that they can find a suitable flag battle formation, or in other words, a suitable "knight".
When the battle is the most intense and dangerous, whether the monsters that climbed the city wall can be quickly eliminated and the danger can be eliminated depends on the strength of the professional responsible for this defense area.
The stronger the leading professional is, the safer they will definitely be.
Of course.
Stronger professionals will definitely be assigned to more dangerous and stressful defense sections, which is a matter of course.
So how to choose a suitable battle formation to join also requires experience and vision.
The most popular are those knights whose "strength" and "title" do not match well.
For example, Baron Saddam who just shouted.
The area he needs to guard is allocated based on the "baron" nobles, that is, the third-level professional.
But he already has the strength of the fourth level.
If you follow him, the risk will be much lower.
The flag representing Baron Saddam was crowded with soldiers who came to sign up.
"Sir! Look at me, my teeth are very good, I can eat anything, and I won't have diarrhea!"
Baron Saddam looked at the thin man who shouted.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
The other person's face was sallow, and he didn't look very healthy.
His face suddenly turned black.
"Go away! Go away! You are not even as tall as the shield, go where it's cool!"
He also needs to select suitable and excellent soldiers who can directly shoot or eliminate more monsters under the city wall, so as to reduce the frequency of fighting with monsters as much as possible and reduce the pressure.
So this kind of guy who might come in to "mix positions" must be eliminated as soon as possible!
"Sir! I have an old leather armor. I went to the border once five years ago. I have experience. What do you think of me?"
Another person eagerly asked for an inspection.
Baron Saddam stroked his chin and looked at the other person.
He looked quite like that.
But he couldn't be completely assured.
"Go, walk to the flag with the big stick and rose crossed over there, and then walk back. Walk in a straight line for me to see."
The other person took two steps hesitantly, and Baron Saddam immediately found the problem:
"Hey? Why are you limping?"
"Ahaha..." The other person smiled awkwardly and tried to explain: "Sir Baron, I accidentally hurt my leg while working last month, and I haven't had time to treat it..."
"Get out! Next!"
Baron Saddam waved his hand unhappily.
Some of these crooked people didn't even receive the call-up order, or they were not local people in the capital, but poor people from other places who tried to fish in troubled waters. They took advantage of the opportunity of the King's Army's call-up. As long as they went to the battlefield once and survived those few days of fighting, the war allowances and compensation they received would be enough for them to live a comfortable life for a while, and they could also enjoy free glow magic during the war.
Don't think that the other party made his situation sound light.
It was Baron Saddam himself who was cheated when he went to the defense line!
The free medical care of the Glow God Cult will only be provided after the monster red tide begins, and it is only responsible for rescuing the seriously injured who were evacuated from the city wall and the dead who were resurrected in time.
"Minor injuries" such as lameness are not worth wasting precious opportunities to use magic.
Recruiting such guys is equivalent to losing a combat power!
In the process of two-way selection, everyone wants to give priority to recruiting those soldiers with excellent qualities, rather than these cheating things.
