56 - Volume One Endless Wilderness Section 56 War

The afternoon sun shines through the colored glass on the wooden floor, like a colorful broken flower. Small dust rose vaguely, and a chat or two came from downstairs from time to time, creating a leisurely and tranquil scene.

At half past two 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 change in a basket, and gave it to the waiter at the front desk, and then went to the bar to eat.

A grilled cowboy bones, a vegetable salad, a glass of fruit wine, a bowl of fried noodles. Small candles are lit on the table, and knives, forks, spoons and chopsticks are placed in a small rattan basket.

He lowered his head and ate slowly. The table of mercenaries next to him was talking in a low voice.

“I heard that there is going to be a war on Black Feather’s side again.” “Yes, I have a relative who just came over from there, saying that Duke Zilan and Marquis Haitang are in conflict again.”

“What’s the matter this time?” “I remember saying last time that they were married? The fifth daughter of Duke Zilan is married to the second son of Marquis Haitang.” “Yes, but now I heard that, The second son of Marquis Haitang fell in love with a widow and is getting divorced?”

“This is definitely going to be beaten. To bully someone’s girl, even if you change to me, you have to beat it.” “That’s not it, Marquis Haitang’s discipline is really terrible. His second son knew it was a political marriage, and he was also a scholar. Playing True Love, I think it’s a brain drain.” “Maybe people like widows?” “Hahaha…”

“Hey hey hey, I heard that Earl Jinlian and Marquis of Red Arrow are about to fight.” “Really?” “Both sides are trying to win mercenary groups.” “Should we go over and take a place first? Location, Earl Jinlian is very rich.” “Look at what the leader means…”

Hearing their discussion, Chen Xing picked up the portable screen, connected the black watch, and checked it.

Sure enough, the recruitment information of the mercenary group occupies most of the page. Most of them were issued by the Duchy of Black Feather and Norton, and a few were issued by the Duchy of White Dragon and the Duchy of Red Mulberry.

Perhaps because of soil and water problems, it is easy to breed a grumpy person. Since ancient times, the war in the Ambergris River has never stopped. Either I hit you today, or you hit me tomorrow. Disturbed one after another, fighting endlessly.

Only during external wars will there be a little peace inside. On weekdays, the Malan imperial family is like a good old man, mediating here and persuading the other side. They are always on the go all year round, so they are called “the royal family of peace”. And the reason why they can become the leader of the Amber River countries is because of this.

For mercenaries, the favorite is war. That is the most worry-free business to make money. After joining the city-state or the army of the principality, find a place to squat. Whether the two sides can fight or not, you will get money every day.

It is commonly known as “liujin garrison” in the industry. It means that if you are stationed in one place, gold coins will flow in every day.

In the previous life, when Chen Xing was in the Leiguang regiment, he often ran around. Find a place to stay on a high ground and eat plain rice. However, in case of a fight, it would not be so pleasant. When it is time to rush up, you have to rush up, otherwise the overall credibility of the mercenary group will decline.

What’s more, these are all small money, and there is no military exploits. If you want to make a lot of money and gain a higher social status, you have to rely on “otherworldly crusades” and “kingdom wars.” The former is through the cracks in time and space, into the alien plane, to explore or fight; the latter is the war between the United Kingdom in the Ambergris River Basin and other kingdoms on the red earth continent.

Both are very cruel, and if you are not careful, the whole army will be wiped out. He was slapped to death by the big demon in the mission of crusade in another world. At that time, Tienuo, the head of the Leiguang regiment, didn’t know what was going on, so he took the risk and took on this desperate task.

He still remembered that when the big devil took a palm shot, the other teammates were also dead. If you have a chance in the future, you must persuade Big Brother not to get muddled on key issues and take everyone on the road of no return.

But then again, with his current life trajectory, there shouldn’t be much overlap with the Lei Guang regiment.

He thought about it carefully. According to the memory of his previous life, he met Tienuo in this bar two years later and joined the Leiguang group.

The head of Tienuo was a super fierce man, nicknamed the “tiger”, honest, kind, and brave. He could hardly find any shortcomings except for occasional troubles. His talents are “Bronze Wall and Iron Wall” and “Huge Body”, rushing to the forefront in every battle. As long as they heard a loud roar from the other party, the morale of the group came up, and yelled and rushed forward.

He couldn’t help but think that if he could get Tienuo under his command, it would be amazing. Originally he didn’t dare to think about it, but even if he accepted Ye Yang Bailiu, Tienuo was nothing. You know, Yeyang Bailiu’s status is still much higher than Tienuo’s.

However, he didn’t know anything about the previous history of the Leiguang regiment. He only knew that Tienuo came out of the mountain and brought a few brothers from the same village to fight the world. Among the Lei Guang regiment, he was most impressed by Huozui, Xiong Ben, and Rat. They were all tough guys with leverage.

After browsing the information for a while, Chen Xing quit. He is now the captain of the third squad of the Orchid Town Defence Team, and it is said that he is not in his position and does not pursue his duties. It has little to do with him when other countries start war.

His task now is to recruit a few more people and then return to Lanhua Town to start construction.

Anyway, there is no need to purchase equipment this time, and there is no need to wait for the auction. He can leave as long as he is hired. After the auction is completed, the auctioneer will directly transfer the funds obtained from the auction to 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 for all citizens, and the latter is only for bank transactions. The former has a higher signal strength and requires a receiving station, so the coverage area is small; while the latter has a lower signal strength and does not require a receiving station, and the satellite is directly sent and received, so the coverage area is larger.

For example, Lanhua Town cannot access the conventional satellite network, but can use the black watch for transactions.

The root cause of this phenomenon is that high-level officials in various countries do not want to control the security of the periphery. The cases there are very difficult to handle and will consume a lot of manpower and material resources, so just keep one eye closed, as long as it does not involve social stability.

“Dudu…”

Between thoughts, the black watch suddenly rang. After opening it, Bona sent him a message.

[We have reached the grain exchange in Longshi Town and are buying grain]

Chen Xing tapped a few times on his portable screen and returned a message.

[Come to the Catalpa Bar in West Second Street]

After a while, 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.

It is estimated that those two silver rings are still in pain, right? Chen Xing quickly thought of it.
