Chapter 15 (1/2)
The Lord didn't need the consent of the people to recruit the people as private soldiers. This is a compulsory means. If Ronnie usually wouldn't say anything.
But!
What do you want him to do now?
Want him to die!
He actually enlisted himself as his private soldier at this time and let himself die. How can Ronnie have no idea!
”Are you going to disobey my orders?” Donne looked at Ronnie, his eyes calm and unable to see any fluctuations.
”Dare not...”
Ronnie gritted his teeth. It's no use saying anything at this time. He can only harden his head.
I just hope the brothers above recognize him and don't be cruel.
”Lord, let's go together!”
”Of course.”
Although Donne wanted to kill Ronnie, he wouldn't be so stupid that he pulled out his long sword: ”I charge with you.”
”What!?”
Elsa was stunned and said in a panic: ”how can you, Lord! It's too much to suppress the bandits with us. How can you fight with us! You just need to wait until we break the mountain bandit's nest!”
”Do you look down on me? Have you forgotten my previous battle?”
Donne stared at Elsa: ”you have all the girls in the battle, but you want me to sit in the back and watch the play?”
”No, it's not. I'm different from ordinary girls...”
Elsa was at a loss and said calmly, ”I am born with great strength, and ordinary attacks can't hurt me, so I can join the militia...”
”In my eyes, you are just my people, an ordinary girl.”
Donne said faintly, ”so, needless to say, get ready.”
Elsa looked at Donne in a daze. Her mood was very complicated.
She made up her mind to protect the Lord later anyway.
”Soldiers!”
Donne raised his sword. ”Tell me, what's in your hand?”
A group of people looked at each other. What else could they have in their hands? Weapons, of course.
”No, it's not just a weapon.”
Donne said, ”that's your life, your family's life, and an important tool to protect Ellington!”
”Now, the mountain bandit nest that killed our family and robbed our wealth is in front of us. Tell me loudly, what should you do?”
A very young militia shouted, ”kill them all! Defend Ellington!”
”Very good!”
Donne nodded. ”What's your name?”
”Danny, sir!”
Danny clenched his fist and was very excited. This is Lord! How could he have met such a noble lord? At most, I saw the smelly face of the tax official.
”Danny, I remember.”
Donne nodded and continued, ”listen, everyone. From now on, the militia is officially renamed Ellington security guard, and all members are included in the private army of the Lord. Each person is paid five gold coins a month!”
”After the bandit suppression operation, everyone will be rewarded with five gold coins in addition to their monthly salary. If there is a similar operation in the future, the treatment will be the same!”
”In addition, this time a mountain thief's head will be rewarded with a gold coin. If the top is not capped, everyone is the same!”
Boom!
Just for a moment, the militia stirred up.
They all love their hometown. In order to protect Ellington, they spontaneously form a militia. Where can they get a salary?
How many people don't have that chance to become private soldiers of nobility, but now? In a word, Donne turned them into private soldiers. Not only that, but also the salary!
It can not only protect my hometown, but also earn a huge income of five gold coins a month!
Inspired by the gold coins, the militia... No, the members of the guard aroused their fighting spirit and wanted to rush up and kill the mountain bandits at once.
Danny even broke his fingers and calculated that five gold coins a month, plus five gold coins rewarded, would earn ten gold coins if he didn't do anything this time, not including the extra income from killing mountain bandits later
The spending power of Ellington is very low. The daily expenses of an ordinary family may fluctuate up and down in a few silver coins, and one gold coin is enough to maintain a good life for a month.
Danny's father is an ordinary mill worker. He can only earn a few gold coins a month if he is lucky. He has to be taxed by Hogg. His family is barely enough to eat.
Danny was so quick to breathe. God, he made more money this trip than his father had worked hard for months!
Do you worry that you will not live a good life in the future if you follow such a lord!?
Seeing all these people excited, Donne smiled and a little under his feet, and an invisible wave spread out.
Fourth level spell - storm guard Aura!
Fourth level spell - earth power Aura!
At the next moment, almost everyone blushed and gasped. They felt that huge and uncontrollable forces poured out of their bodies, and their combat effectiveness soared!
Except Ronnie.
Ronnie, judged as a hostile target by Donne, was not affected by the spell gain effect and looked at his teammates in surprise.
Donne held up his sword: ”for Ellington! For our family! Kill them all!”
”For Ellington!”
”For family!”
