It would be of great benefit if you could invite General Miocic to visit the Violet City. "Aroben said slowly.
"Do you think I can invite General Miocic?" An Fei couldn't help but laugh: "I'm just a little guy, I don't have that much face."
"You don't, but your teacher does." Aroben pondered for a moment: "As far as I know, Master Saul and General Mioric have a very good personal relationship, and they will not stand idly by if they know you are in trouble. "
An Fei just shook his head and said nothing. Seeing that An Fei didn't want to adopt his reasonable opinion, Aluo Ben couldn't help but look surprised. The two people had different starting points, and the differences caused by them were difficult to reconcile. An Fei caused a huge disaster in the Holy City. Although no one blamed him from the beginning to the end, An Fei knew what was going on. The confrontation with the great swordsman Philip, It will definitely bring a lot of trouble to Mr. Sol. Now these things must be solved by oneself and one cannot randomly borrow Mr. Sol's name. Arrowben was just discussing the matter and trying every means to mobilize all resources. If he hadn't known that the great magician Thor and the second prince Grant were still in charge of the army on the northern front, he would have persuaded Anfei to invite Thor to live for a while. .
"My lord, what are you worried about?" Aroben asked softly.
"It's not that I have any concerns, I just want to solve the problem myself."
"Sir, you are wrong to think so. From the moment the Violet City became your territory, things have been doomed. If you lose to Zuo Ser, it will not only be your fault, Master Sol's reputation will also be affected. Affected to a certain extent, people now know that you are Master Sol's student and the best student under Master Sol!" Aroben said slowly: "So when you encounter difficulties, even if you don't Said, Master Sol will also come forward to help you, what we have to do is to advance the future help for a while, so that the help can come more timely."
"Let's talk about this later." An Fei changed the subject: "Utter, how many private soldiers can I have?"
"My lord, you are now an earl. According to the regulations of the empire, you can have thirty private soldiers."
"So... what about the city defense army? Are there any restrictions?"
"There used to be 1,200 private soldiers in Violet City. When the Shansha Empire's army came, almost all of them fled. Now they don't even have any empty space."
"That's just right, Utter, we will start recruiting new soldiers tomorrow."
"Understood, sir."
"I don't care about these things. Utter, you have to work harder and select carefully. It's absolutely impossible to come to my place to eat and drink. Utter, do you understand what I mean? What I want is the elite. !”
"Elite? Sir, your selection criteria are..."
An Fei couldn't help but think of the deeply impressed General Shansha Empire, Kumarajiva, and the army led by Kumarajiva. He pondered for a moment: "The minimum is an intermediate swordsman and a magician. The standards can be slightly lower, and the standards for knights are the same as those for swordsmen."
Utter's jaw almost dropped to the ground, and he stared at An Fei blankly, unable to say a word. Aroben on the other side was also dumbfounded.
"What? Are the standards a bit high?" An Fei asked in surprise.
"It's too high, sir." Utter smiled bitterly.
"Too high?"
"Sir, if we recruit new soldiers according to your standards, we can't recruit a single soldier." Utter kept smiling bitterly: "The salary of the city defense army is already much lower than that of the regular army. Who would be willing to come? To a swordsman For soldiers, the best way to make a living is to become a mercenary. Although being a mercenary is very dangerous, joining the army is the same. You can be more careful as a mercenary. Start small and slowly progress as your strength increases. Take some more difficult missions, deal with some more dangerous monsters, join the army, and if you meet a stupid general, you won't even know how you died."
"Even if you don't want to be a mercenary, you still have to find a regular army to join the army. What can you do in the City Defense Army? Sir, you said you don't want people who eat and drink, but the City Defense Army is a place where people eat and drink. We used to The average age of the city defense army is around forty, and young, energetic and enterprising people will never join the city defense army."
"What if the salary is increased?"
“Give more than a thousand people a raise?”
An Fei stopped talking again and was silent for a long time: "Utter, as the owner of Violet City, how much income can I make in a day?"
"The previous figures are all in the information I gave you, but they are no longer reliable. Violet City has just been looted and it will take a long time to recover. Now we have almost no income, not even the money to renovate the city. Transferred from the Holy City."
"It seems that we can't do anything for the time being." An Fei frowned: "I will leave tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
City, let’s wait until I come back to talk about everything. Lord Aroben, Ute, this part of Lan City will be left to you. "An Fei has experienced that it is too difficult for one person to govern a city with his bare hands. After returning to the Holy City, he must find a way to bring some experienced people back. He does believe in Utter and Aroben, but he can't do anything. Everything depends on them, so you must have your own team. The position of host and guest must not be reversed. If you have a strong manpower, you can naturally attract Utter and Aroben. If you have to rely on Utter and Aroben for everything, Aroben, the future changes will be a little unpredictable.
"Sir, I am already a crippled old man." Aroben looked at his hands and sighed.
"To me, your experience is priceless." An Fei smiled.
"Are you going back to the Holy City?" Utter asked.
"Well, I haven't seen the teacher for a long time, and I have to give an explanation for some things." An Fei smiled bitterly: "To be honest, I feel a little uneasy thinking about going back, and you should too. You know, I got into something and had to flee the Holy City."
"Sir, you don't need to worry. Since His Majesty has conferred the title of Violet City on you, it has proven His Majesty's attitude. Philip will not dare to harm you." Aroben comforted you.
"On the surface, Philip doesn't dare to touch me, but no one can tell what's going on behind the scenes." An Fei doubted that Philip would be a good comrade who would absolutely obey the leadership's orders.
"That's right..." Aroben muttered: "Sir, you must wait until Master Sol returns to the Holy City before going back, so as to ensure your safety."
"Yes, sir, it's better to stay in Violet City for a while." Utter advised.
"No, I still have some things to do." An Fei shook his head. He had not forgotten Susanna's treasure. At that time, he only took some weapons and unnamed treasures, but a large number of gold coins were still left where they were. Now is the time to enable it.
Arrowben and Utter did not inquire further. The three of them chatted for a while. An Fei saw that it was almost done and stood up to leave. Arrowben tapped his thigh with his wrist and said with a wry smile: "Sir, I don't I’ve given you the solution, don’t blame me for being rude.”
"We are all our own people, why are you so polite?" An Fei smiled.
Utter gently closed the door behind An Fei, blocking the view inside and outside. The look of Arloben inside suddenly changed, with a look of pain in his eyes, and his straight waist became stooped. His relatives were slaughtered, and he himself became a cripple. The double pain of soul and body was not something ordinary people could bear. Aluoben chose to live and breathe, just to wait until the day of revenge. Of course, he wanted to kill It was impossible to kill Edward VIII of the Shansha Empire. What Arrow wanted to kill was the general of the Shansha Empire who gave the order to massacre. He had already remembered the other person's name deeply in his heart and could never forget it. Alone, he received the meticulous care of Utter, which made him very grateful. For the future of Utter, and for someone to help him avenge himself, Arrowben used all his strength today, not only forcing himself to maintain a cheerful complexion. , and kept giving advice to An Fei, just to make An Fei pay attention to him. Now that An Fei is gone, he can no longer hold on. After all, he is a disabled person.
An Fei outside the door suddenly asked softly: "Utter, is Arrowen's spirit always like this?"
"No, it has never been good before." Utter hesitated for a moment and then replied: "And he was a little weird today. I don't know why."
"Maybe he was too stimulated." An Fei sighed. When he first saw that Aroben was in good spirits, he came up with the idea of letting Aroben continue to be the city lord. Later, they talked about With that, the idea disappeared. He felt that Arrowben was very impatient, eager to kill the Marquis of Zuose, and eager to let An Fei fully control the situation. After finishing these things, what would Arrowben be anxious to do? , An Fei doesn't know, but he knows that many things cannot be rushed, and as a city lord, stability must be the first priority in doing things.
"Actually, sometimes I always think that it would be better for Mr. Aroben to die in the hands of the soldiers of the Sand Sand Empire, so as not to suffer as much as he does now." Ut said softly.
"Your thoughts are a bit too pessimistic." An Fei shook his head: "How is his appetite now?"
"Every meal was a lot of food, but I could tell he was forcing himself to eat."
Hearing this, An Fei already vaguely understood A Luoben's mentality: "What does he usually talk to you the most about?"
"Revenge, he says every day that he must take revenge." "We must respect this wish." An Fei smiled.
