With a shortage of manpower and unusable skeletons, Satan's great plan was about to run aground before it even started.
Of course he didn't want to give up or wait too long, so he set his sights on Sui Xiong.
If mortals have no choice, they can only ask gods for help.
Sui Xiong thought for a while and asked: "Leon, Orian, and Anna, can you allocate manpower from your three territories?"
Although the Gelten Territory, Gars City and Keen Territory currently have their own countries, due to the absolute dominance of the Church of the Mask of the Void in the local area, they are almost considered enclaves of the Northwest Republic. The labor force of a thousand people is not enough for them. It’s really unthinkable for the Northwest Republic, but if it’s spread across their three territories, it shouldn’t be difficult to complete, right
Orian Gelten answered first: "We can mobilize two hundred to three hundred people here, but I'm afraid it won't be enough if we have more. Agriculture, stationery factories and medicine fields all need a lot of manpower."
"I'm afraid I can't recruit 300 people here." Anna Keen, who rarely speaks and truly "uses her ears more and less her mouth," sighed, "The Keen Territory has a small population."
"Then leave the rest to me." Leon said with a smile, "But give me some time - about two months. Within two months, I will gather the remaining people."
"It must be reliable! There must be no people playing tricks in the middle!" Satan emphasized, "Otherwise, if something goes wrong, it will be a big deal!"
"That's why I only need two months." Leon said confidently, "Don't worry, after two months, the manpower I send to you will definitely be loyal and reliable!"
So the matter was settled. Mrs. Teague would try her best to raise enough supplies based on the current supply reserves, and the three territories would begin recruiting and allocating manpower to prepare for the start of work in two months.
After the meeting, Gals City Lord Carissa Riley asked worriedly: "That's five to six hundred people. Can we really recruit that many? For such an important matter, external recruitment is always unreliable..."
After decades of training, Carissa is no longer the "number one vase on the East Coast". Although she may not be called a capable official, she is at least no better than most lords in the world. poor. She was quite familiar with the situation in Gars City. After a little calculation, she found that it was actually difficult for Gars to mobilize so much surplus labor force.
"What's so difficult about this?" Leon smiled, "We can replace the workers in some of the projects currently being done, use recruited manpower to do our projects here, and send time-tested and reliable workers to the northwest. The Republic will help build the magic circle. Two months is enough for the novices to gradually master it, and it will not delay things."
Only then did Carissa understand his idea and nodded repeatedly.
This is actually a very simple thing, but most people don’t think of it for a while.
Of course, even if Orian Gelten and Anna Keen thought of it, they might not be able to do it. Geerten Territory is relatively remote and has a small population, so it is not easy to recruit new people. Keen Territory has convenient transportation, but the surrounding territories are not very friendly to them and almost surround them. Recruiting people is more difficult than that of Geerten.
In the past, when they recruited people, they usually used the teleportation circle to recruit people from other places. Not only does this cost a lot, but the recruited people need to settle down first and cannot be put into work for a while. So for them, they really can't mobilize so many people, and they don't mean to shirk the responsibility.
In contrast, Gars City not only has convenient transportation and developed commerce, but also dominates a large area around it. Facing the sword of the "Sword Master", the heroes who dare to say "no" have almost all achieved a glorious ending. I believe that they will be praised for their bravery by people in the kingdom of God they believe in.
As for the remaining ones now, they have all bowed their heads and even sent their own children to study in Gars and serve as hostages. Even if they were given the courage, they would not dare to hinder Leon from doing things.
The name "King of the Beach" is not just a boast!
Basically, there is not much difficulty for Leon to recruit people. The only trouble is that the newly recruited people may have too many spies. Therefore, he had to send local workers to the Northwest Republic to support construction, while the local construction work was left to the newly recruited outsiders.
As for whether there are spies among these newly recruited migrant workers? Could these spies be wreaking havoc? Leon didn't care at all.
If a spy caused trouble, he would write it down in his black book. When he had time in the future, he would personally come to the house with his sword in hand and discuss it with the heads of state who sent the spies.
Of course, his attitude must be friendly and cordial, but he doesn't know if the other person will suffer from a sudden illness due to poor health.
Anyway, it has nothing to do with him, whether it is his heart suddenly stopping beating, whether he is shouting and committing suicide, or whether he is dying after writing incomprehensible words... none of this has anything to do with him, anyway, he has an alibi. .
A strong man at the peak of legend wants to cause a little trouble for others, how can he leave a loophole!
Soon after, all three territories began to recruit people.
Coincidentally, the Country of Thousand Springs was also recruiting people at this time. However, they recruit people to invade the dwarf kingdom, and the three territories that believe in Mask of the Void recruit people to build their homes. With similar salaries, many low-level adventurers would rather go to Gars City to work as workers than serve as soldiers for the Country of Thousand Springs.
This is not just a matter of money. Although being a worker is harder and not as easy as being a soldier, and there is no extra money from winning and looting, who can guarantee that the country of thousands of springs will win
The adventurers are very well-informed. During this time, the relationship between the Orc Empire and the Dwarf Kingdom is heating up. The new emperor of the Orc Empire, Iroh, even said that if the Dwarf Kingdom really encounters a major crisis, he would not mind going into battle to help his new friends. Go fight - although this is definitely just a scene, it can be seen from this that the support of the Orc Empire for the Dwarf Kingdom is very strong.
With the support of the Orc Empire, the Dwarf Kingdom is no longer the weak country that was defeated by the Kingdom of Thousand Springs in the past, and its king died several times in battle. Whether this "Battle of Duanyun Mountain Development" in the Kingdom of Thousand Springs can achieve better results is still a question mark!
Those official propagandas are naturally not trustworthy. Among the common opinions among adventurers, even the most optimistic ones believe that the Kingdom of Thousand Springs can only have a slight upper hand this time. It is basically impossible to win successive victories and seize a large amount of wealth and mineral deposits like in the past.
A more pessimistic view is that the Kingdom of Thousand Springs will definitely suffer defeat this time, and it is just a matter of losing more and losing less. The most pessimistic person even suspected that the army of the Kingdom of Thousand Springs might be severely defeated this time, and would be counterattacked by the coalition of orcs and dwarves, losing the land they had occupied in the past.
Regardless of the possibility, this battle will definitely be tough. Difficulties will lead to death, and of course the mercenaries will die first. It's fine if there is no other choice. Since there is the option of "going to work in Gals City", except for some brave people who are skilled in art, or those who want money rather than their lives, most adventurers decide after weighing the pros and cons. I'd rather walk a little longer and go to Gars.
After all, it’s safe to be a worker. What adventurers want is to make money, not risk their lives!
So unknowingly, Leon dealt a big blow to the Qianquan Kingdom without even using a single soldier, effectively supporting the Dwarf Kingdom's cause of resisting invasion.
