The afternoon sunlight shines through the colored glass and shines on the wooden floor, like colorful flowers. Fine dust rose up, and from time to time there was chatter from downstairs, creating a leisurely and tranquil scene.
At half past two o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Xing woke up. The quilt is soft and very comfortable. After getting up, he took a shower, changed into clean clothes, put the changes in a basket, handed them to the waiter at the front desk, and then went to the bar to eat.
A grilled beef rib, a vegetable salad, a glass of fruit wine, and a bowl of fried noodles. There were small candles on the table, and there were knives, forks, spoons and chopsticks in small rattan baskets.
He lowered his head and ate slowly. A table of mercenaries next to them were discussing in low voices.
"I heard that there is going to be another war over there in Black Feather." "Yes, I have a relative who just came over there and said that Duke Zilan and Marquis Haitang are having conflicts again."
"What happened this time?" "I remember last time, didn't I say that the two of them got married? Duke Zilan's fifth daughter married the second son of Marquis Haitang." "Yes, but now I heard that, The second son of Marquis Haitang has fallen in love with a widow and is getting divorced?"
"This must be beaten. Even if it were me, I would have to beat the girl who bullies someone else." "That's right, Marquis Haitang's discipline is really bad. His second son knew that it was a political marriage, but he still acted like a human being. Playing with true love, I think you are out of your mind." "Maybe they just like widows?" "Hahaha..."
"Hey, hey, I heard that Earl Jinlian and Marquis Red Arrow are about to start a fight." "Is it true?" "Both sides are trying to recruit mercenary groups." "Should we go over first and occupy a place? In terms of position, Earl Jinlian is very rich." "It depends on what the leader wants..."
After hearing their discussion, Chen Xing picked up the portable screen, connected the black watch, and checked it.
Sure enough, the recruitment information for the mercenary group took up most of the page. Most of them were released by the Principality of Black Feather and the Principality of Norton, and a small number were released by the White Dragon City State and the Principality of Red Mulberry.
Perhaps because of water and soil problems, it is easy to raise people with bad tempers. Since ancient times, wars in the Ambergris River Basin have never stopped. Either I will hit you today, or you will hit me tomorrow. There were many disturbances and endless fights.
Only in times of external war can there be some internal peace. On weekdays, the Malan royal family is like a good old man, mediating here and persuading there, working non-stop all year round, so it is also known as the "Peaceful Royal Family". And the reason why they can become the leader of the Ambergris River countries is also because of this.
For mercenaries, their favorite thing is war. That's the easiest way to make money. After joining the army of a city-state or a principality, you can find a place to squat, and no matter whether the two sides can fight or not, you will make money every day.
It is commonly known in the industry as "liquid gold garrison". This means that if you are stationed in a place, gold coins will flow in every day.
In the last life, when Chen Xing was in the Thunder Light Group, he often traveled around. Find a place to squat on a high ground and eat plain food. But if a fight breaks out, it won't be that pleasant. You have to rush forward when it's time, otherwise the overall credibility of the mercenary group will be reduced.
Also, these are just small amounts of money, and they have no military merit. If you want to make a lot of money and gain a higher social status, you have to rely on "Alien Crusade" and "Kingdom War". The former involves entering an alien plane through a rift in time and space for exploration or fighting; the latter is a war between the United Kingdom in the Ambergris River Basin and other kingdoms in the Red Earth Continent.
Both are very cruel, and if you are not careful, your entire army will be wiped out. He had previously been slapped to death by a big demon during a mission to conquer another world. At that time, Tienuo, the leader of the Thunder Light Regiment, didn't know what prompted him to take the risk and took on such a desperate mission.
He still remembered that when the big devil slapped him down with one palm, other teammates also died in pieces. If there is an opportunity in the future, we must advise Big Brother not to make mistakes on key issues and lead everyone on the road of no return.
But then again, with his current life trajectory, he should have nothing to do with the Thunder Light Group.
He thought about it carefully and found out that according to the memory of his previous life, he met Tie Nuo in this bar two years later and joined the Thunder Group.
The leader of the group, Tienuo, is a super fierce man, nicknamed "Tiger". He is upright, kind, and brave. Except for the occasional fool, he can hardly find any shortcomings. His talents are "iron wall" and "huge body", and he is at the forefront in every battle. As long as they hear a loud roar from the other side, everyone's morale will rise, and they will rush forward with roars.
He couldn't help but think that it would be great if he could take Tie Nuo under his command. Originally he didn't dare to think about it, but he even accepted Ye Yang Bailiu, so Tie Nuo was nothing. You know, Ye Yang Bailiu's status is still much higher than Tie Nuo.
However, he knew nothing about the previous history of the Thunder Light Group. All I know is that Tienuo came out of the mountains and led several brothers from the same village to conquer the world. In the Lei Guang Group, the three people who impressed him most were Huo Zui, Xiong Ben, and Shu Shu, all of whom were tough guys.
After browsing the information for a while, Chen Xing logged out. He is now the captain of the third team of the Orchid Town Guards. As the saying goes, if he is not in his position and does not fulfill his duties, he has little to do with the war in other countries.
His current task is to recruit a few more people and then return to Orchid Town to start construction.
Anyway, there is no need to purchase equipment this time, and there is no need to wait any longer at the auction. As soon as he finishes recruiting people, he can leave. After the auction is completed, the auctioneer will transfer the funds obtained from the auction directly into his account.
There are two satellite networks in this world, one is the "conventional satellite network" and the other is the "World Bank Satellite Network". The former is open to all citizens, while the latter is only open to bank transactions. The former has a higher signal strength and needs to set up a receiving station, so the coverage area is smaller; while the latter has a lower signal strength and does not need to set up a receiving station, and is directly sent and received by satellites, so the coverage area is larger.
For example, Orchid Town cannot access conventional satellite networks, but it can conduct transactions using black watches.
The fundamental reason for this phenomenon is that the top leaders of various countries simply do not want to take care of the security in the fringe areas. It is very difficult to deal with the cases there and will consume a lot of manpower and material resources, so we simply turn a blind eye and ignore them as long as they do not involve the stability of society.
"Dudu..."
In the midst of his thoughts, the black watch suddenly rang. When he opened it, he saw that it was a message sent to him by Bo Na.
[We have arrived at the Grain Exchange in Longshi Town and are purchasing grain]
Chen Xing clicked a few times on the portable screen and replied to a message.
[Come to the Catalpa Bar on West Second Street]
It took a while before the other party responded to the message.
[yes]
It seems that what happened that night left a deep psychological shadow on her, and she became a little afraid of him.
I guess those two silver rings are still aching, right? Chen Xing thought of it quickly.
