I spent 200,000 gold coins to buy a bunch of barbarian cannon fodder...
When such news reached the emperor's ears, His Majesty would look at him as if he were a fool, and his two brothers would never look at him in the eyes again.
Thinking of this situation, Ute suddenly felt crazy. He felt that he had been deceived, and he was deceived by the most evil profiteers.
"Your Highness, the people below are still looking at you..." General Weiss whispered in Ute's ear, "This will make the people think you don't understand etiquette..."
Prince Ute glared at him fiercely, but he slowly turned around and looked at the people below. Those barbarians simply stained his eyes and nose...
Hmm...How many days have they not had a bath?...
"Please keep smiling..." General Weiss reminded again cautiously.
Prince Ute felt that life was so dark at this time, but in order to maintain his good manners in front of others, he still managed to smile.
Let these barbarians get out of here...Prince Ute is crying in his heart, my 200,000 gold coins...
Ten thousand barbarian warriors, led by Cook, walked out of the city. They had no other way to go. The masses only left one road for them.
As they left, the troops of the Tas Republic began to appear, which made the citizens of the empire talk a lot again.
The elite fighting divisions came from the Republic of Tas. They wore light scale armor and had dagger-carrying gloves on their hands, commonly known as boxing swords.
They move quickly and attack sharply, and are the main force of Coral Island.
Behind them were the elite cavalry of Volcano Island, both men and horses. They held long knight spears in their hands and had iron swords and eagle shields on their waists.
The originally stalemate face of Prince Ute on the castle suddenly softened.
"This is good, it looks like an elite force..."
Soon, the soldiers of the Republic of Tas finished walking, and the three thousand battalions of cavalry led by Qin Feng slowly walked out. They were all covered in armor, and even their faces were covered with iron ghost masks, which made people look intimidating.
The people nearby kept screaming in surprise again and again.
"Such a heavy armor can compete with the empire's champion knight..."
"How is it possible? Didn't you see the big bows behind them? I guess they are just long-range troops, and the armor on them is just fake..."
No matter what everyone said, as all Qin Feng's soldiers walked out, the portal light curtain behind him slowly disappeared.
On the city wall, Prince Ute nodded with satisfaction.
"General Weiss, you send someone to teleport all their generals to my castle. I will just discuss it with them. Oh, by the way, there is no need to call those savages..."
Only then did Prince Ute turn around and return to the castle, followed closely by the senior officials standing behind him.
In the camp outside the city, as soon as everyone was settled, a guard came to deliver a message.
This made Qin Feng think that he would be unable to communicate, but found that they were also speaking common language.
Go and discuss with Prince Ute here?... Just in time to learn from him what the rat army here is like...
After Qin Feng settled all the three thousand battalions of cavalry behind him, he followed the guards on their horses.
On the way, I soon saw the four figures from the Republic of Tas, but there were no other barbarians like Cook.
What's going on?...Forget it, it's none of my business...Qin Feng immediately forgot about Cook and others.
After passing many checkpoints and turning in weapons, we finally entered the castle.
Even in broad daylight, the castle is brightly lit and filled with all kinds of gorgeous and expensive decorations.
Follow the guards into the castle hall, which is already filled with people. If you look carefully, they are all generals of this world.
But an unexpected figure appeared in front of Qin Feng and others.
"Mage Murphy..."
Seeing the fat man dressed like a businessman, everyone bowed and saluted to show respect.
"Well, you guys behave well. Whether I can receive a hiring order next time depends on you. Eh? Didn't Cook and the others come? This is too disrespectful..."
Wizard Murphy muttered a few times in dissatisfaction, and then ignored him.
"Come with me, I will introduce you to Prince Ute, it is he who spent the money to hire you..."
Murphy led everyone to the center of the hall, where the generals were already standing on both sides.
Everyone happened to look at Prince Ute who was sitting on a gorgeous chair.
"Welcome to the Holy Yuan Empire. Please forgive me for not holding a grand welcome ceremony for you because I spent a lot of money recruiting you..."
Prince Ute thought he had told a joke and laughed, but no one else around him, including Qin Feng and others, laughed.
This made Ute feel that the atmosphere was a bit awkward. After coughing a few times, he said seriously: "I think you all know your mission, which is to help me capture Nolin Town."
"But that was the price of 20,000 gold coins, but I spent 200,000 gold coins this time. Your army has also reached 20,000 people, so your mission goal must be raised to a higher level. You must capture Keji City.
"
Qin Feng and others turned to look at Murphy silently. They needed an explanation.
Why the mission objective changes.
"That's because there are only 10,000 ratmen in Nolin Town, which is not enough for you to share, so you need to hunt in larger cities..." Murphy answered seriously.
But everyone thought it was because he overcharged other people's money. However, what Murphy said was reasonable. Ten thousand ratmen were indeed not enough to kill, but it could easily cause disputes when the time was redistributed.
"Okay, I know the mission goal. We are going to help you eradicate those rat people. Please give us a map. After all, we don't know where Keji City is?" [Fearless Knight] Truman took a step forward. He only said
I want to complete the task quickly and win the game first.
"There is no need for a map. You will act with us when the time comes." Prince Ute did not want to give them a map to prevent them from getting out of his sight, which would eventually cause him countless troubles.
"Okay, then we'd better leave as soon as possible, we can't wait any longer..." Truman glanced at Qin Feng, snorted and turned around to leave.
Although Prince Ute was dissatisfied with Truman's behavior, he did not say anything to stop him. After all, he was not his soldier. However, he had already noted this kind of disregard.
"Why don't you leave?" Ute finally noticed Qin Feng on the side, and saw him standing there with his arms folded, watching quietly.
"I don't have many people, and I don't know those rat people very well. Are they really strong?"
Qin Feng was a little confused at the beginning. The rat people who looked like white teeth on Rat Mountain were not difficult at all. How come they defeated an empire here and needed to recruit mercenaries from other worlds?
"Uh? You'll know after you meet them..." Prince Ute didn't want to say it. He couldn't express why those rats were so strong, but in order to keep his morale intact, he had no choice but to stop talking.
"I originally prepared a banquet for you, but now it seems that you are the only one attending..."
Prince Ute clapped his hands, and a large group of waiters came in carrying delicious food.
A long table was placed in the middle of the hall, and all the food and drinks were placed on it. Anyone who wanted to eat could take it.
"Cheers to our upcoming victory..." Ute raised the wine glass, which contained colorless liquid.
At this moment, a waiter announced from outside the door, "His Royal Highness the Second Prince has arrived..."
The originally lively banquet immediately became extremely quiet.
Ute slowly took back the wine glass, raised his chin slightly, and looked at the door quietly.
A young man in gorgeous palace clothes walked in from outside. His face was very similar to Ute, except that he had two mustaches on his mouth and a thin sword on his waist. Behind him was a group of people.
Apparently they were his generals.
It felt like ruining the place... Qin Feng came to the dining table quietly. The only person who could eat freely at this time was Mage Murphy. With his fifth-level strength, he could despise most people.
Qin Feng also picked up the ham-like food and ate it slowly to see what would happen next.
"My dear brother, your second brother, I'm here to see you..." The young man in palace clothes came to Ute, walked straight up, and gave Ute, who was sitting on the main seat, a hug.
After the young man left, Ute reluctantly said: "What are you doing here, Ritter? This is my territory...My father has appointed me to solve the situation here."
"Don't be like this, my brother. I am your brother, and I am the marshal in charge of the imperial army. You should call me brother..."
Prince Ritter stepped back from Ute, "I heard that you spent money to recruit an army from another world."
"This is good. It shows that you have grown up and know how to make reasonable use of the resources around you."
"However, I am the marshal of the empire and have the right to command the soldiers across the country. The alien soldiers you recruited today will be under my jurisdiction from today on..."
"Huh..." Ute raised his head slightly arrogantly, "Ritter, you can't take away any of my soldiers. What I signed is a personal contract. They will only obey my orders, not yours..."
Ritter turned to look at Ute, his eyes narrowed, "Then the 20,000 imperial troops in your city will be under my jurisdiction. I can take them away..."
Ute was a little panicked and said quickly: "According to the laws of the empire, I should have some escorts. You can't take them all away..."
"No, I can take them away, but whoever calls you my brother, I will leave you 5,000 soldiers..."
Ritter looked at him with a smile, then turned around and walked out, shouting at the same time: "Except for Ute's Guards, everyone else comes with me, otherwise military law will be dealt with."
As a result, Qin Feng saw that there were only a dozen people left in the originally crowded hall.
Apart from the waiters, General Weiss was the only one left with Prince Ute.
"Damn..." Ute could no longer maintain a stable mentality, so he slammed the wine glass in his hand to the ground, smashing it into pieces with a bang.
