Still in Wangcheng District.
In the exquisitely decorated conference hall, the lighting is gorgeous, and a faint scent of aromatherapy fills the air.
The new members were sitting at the table, and sitting in seat C were several big shots that Lu Qingge had never seen before.
——In addition to Duke Elka sitting in the middle, there are several other people.
Sitting further out are some old members from previous sessions.
After that, there will be new recruits like Lu Qingge and the others.
At this moment, the newlyweds were naturally excited and nervous.
Naturally, they were excited because they had reached the top of the adventurer circle in the Principality of Orenst.
Many adventurers of their time are still struggling to make ends meet.
Lu Qingge made a little observation and found that the level of the chiefs had basically reached level 35 or above.
A level like this is indeed the best in the entire Principality of Orenst.
Even Duke Elka is only at level 32.
However, the player's level often does not represent the true combat ability, nor does it represent the power a person holds at hand.
After everyone sat down, Duke Elka cleared his throat and said in a deep voice:
"Everyone, let's get straight to the point."
“This year may be the year Orenst recruits the most members.”
"A total of more than 300 adventurers were recruited the year before last, and more than 500 last year."
"And this year, that number is over a thousand, and you are one of them."
"They are also the first batch to officially join the group, the best group of players."
Everyone nodded and listened carefully to Duke Elka's words.
Everyone present, as long as they have done a little homework, can roughly understand the current situation.
It is true that there is an increasing shortage of people these days. Enrollment is expanding almost every year, and fresh blood is constantly being added.
It's just that they really didn't expect that this year's number would actually reach a terrifying number of one thousand people, which was twice as many as last year. It sounded like an exaggeration.
"As for why we have been expanding our recruitment efforts over the years, I am not going to hide anything from you here."
Duke Elka looked at the circle of young people around him calmly and said:
"The Principality of Orinster is now stepping on the ice, like eggs piled high, with the risk of collapsing at any time."
"in short."
"Behind this seemingly prosperous and prosperous country, there are actually open and covert arrows and covetous eyes that you can't see..."
"This country is not as bad as you think, but it may not be as good as you think."
"If you are just thousands of ordinary people under my knees, you will never understand this. You will spend the years quietly living under the burden of others."
"But unfortunately, you may not be able to survive."
"Because as a member of the Communist Party of China, while you will receive corresponding honors, fame and fortune, you will also become those who bear the burden and move forward."
"You will be their support and their hero."
"as well as--"
"The hope of this country."
"Whether you come here sincerely to protect the people, or for fame and fortune, for life, or for worldly things, we will always welcome you."
"After all, we all know that not everyone wants to be a hero and devote his youth and life to a heroic cause."
"But if you haven't made this awareness yet, then I can tell you responsibly that it may not be a place suitable for you."
"If that's the case, it's still too late to give up now."
"Because of this meeting tonight, you will know a lot of things that ordinary people should not know."
"If you choose to leave until then, the punishment you will face may not be as simple as that."
"..."
Unlike the hasty meeting this morning,
This time, the Duke's tone and demeanor were obviously becoming more solemn and serious.
Like morning bells and evening drums, they penetrate the thin mist in the early morning and come quietly.
Everyone present was listening attentively.
Including Lu Qingge.
In fact, Lu Qingge had already known about Duke Elka since he had not yet entered the new period.
Because Duke Elka has always been a monarch with a good reputation in the eyes of the people.
Unlike some tyrants in the Malton Empire, Elka has always cared about her people and devoted herself to her work.
Therefore, in the entire Principality of Orenst, there are almost no people who attack and slander Elka behind his back.
After meeting him today, Lu Qingge roughly understood the reason for this.
Duke Elka is indeed different from the bosses who were good at making Indian pancakes in his previous life.
After waiting for a while, no one left the position.
So Duke Elka continued:
"Then, please listen carefully to what I have to say."
"It will be closely related to the first mission you will need to carry out in a few days, and it will not be simple."
"The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Each of the tasks you are facing today is related to the fate of your family and country..."
Duke Elka said slowly:
"Now, please cheer up."
"First of all, everyone should have heard that something happened in the principality a few days ago."
"The Archmage of the Necromancer, who was declared dead ten years ago, but was actually unable to be completely killed and sealed inside due to black magic, violated the taboo - Ancient Prison Breath, launched an attack from the western city wall. attacked."
"The defenders of the Western Region resisted tenaciously. Although they successfully resisted the invading undead army in the end, they still suffered heavy losses."
"According to statistics, this battle has consumed almost all combat resources. The cost of opening the teleportation array alone is enough to build three ships."
"During the battle, nearly a hundred warriors died on the battlefield."
"And now, the whereabouts of Ancient Prison Breath after retreating are unknown, and no one knows when he will make a comeback."
"So in future overseas adventure missions, please be sure to pay more attention to this number one person."
"Once you have any information, please send it to the nearest one as soon as possible."
After a pause, the Duke continued:
"The second thing is today's theme."
"Just this morning, the principality's diplomatic ambassador brought back a piece of information about a very serious situation to the Executive Office."
"——, declared war on us."
Some people died, but not completely...
