The lieutenant colonel immediately became overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "If you are willing to go, I dare to guarantee that the Li family will add an extra salary to satisfy you. In addition, the daily treatment and supplies can also be implemented in the same way as the lieutenant general!"
"Lieutenant general?" Qianye laughed, and said, "He really takes me seriously. I'm just a brigadier general now."
Speaking of this, Qianye already vaguely understood that this lieutenant colonel was ordered to speak here, and he probably still had a key list in his hand, that is, the free strong men Jingtang Li wanted to recruit. The rank of lieutenant general, regardless of his actual position, must be at least fourteenth level, and Qianye is only at the tenth level of the original force now, so the treatment offered by the Li family can be regarded as giving enough face.
When the lieutenant colonel heard this, he immediately said: "Who doesn't know about grades, sometimes you can't count them. Only the idiots of the Song Clan will pay according to their grades."
"But the war zone of the Song Clan is really good." Qianye looked at the map and asked, "Where is the dark race now?"
"According to the latest information, they may appear anywhere. The fleet battle in outer space has been won, but..." Speaking of this, the lieutenant colonel hesitated for a moment, but said: "But the loss of the imperial fleet is also very large, we can only It is a tragic victory. As far as I know, the current imperial fleet is unable to blockade outer space. It can only protect our follow-up landing fleet, harass the enemy landing fleet, and weaken them as much as possible before landing. But that's about it .”
Qianye nodded, this result was within expectations, even better than most people's expectations.
After all, the overall strength of the empire's floating fleet is said to be stronger than that of Yongye, but the advantage is not obvious. Even if there is an advantage in the distance from the battlefield, it is only a slight advantage. Now the Eternal Night Council has reacted, yesterday's fierce battle in outer space just opened the curtain of the war, and the follow-up army will continue to come.
"Now that the war has begun, what is your decision?" the lieutenant colonel asked cautiously.
Qianye pondered for a moment and said, "What can the Li family give me?"
The lieutenant colonel was overjoyed immediately, and hurriedly said: "Please wait a moment! I will go to the elder of the family right away, and he will talk to you personally."
Qianye squinted his eyes when he heard the words, it turned out that the lieutenant colonel was a member of the Jingtang Li clan. The lieutenant colonel, who had already turned around and walked to the tent door, suddenly shrank his neck, feeling a ray of cold air passing through the back of his neck. However, Qianye will not pursue anything at this time. He sat down on the chair and waited quietly while flipping through the latest battle report.
Not long after, a brigadier general with gray hair on his temples walked into the camp, saluted Qianye, and said, "My Li Yanshou is ashamed to be the elder of the Li family, and also serves in the Imperial Military Supply Headquarters. General Qianye is young and promising. It is already a famous party, if you are willing to hunt and kill in the misty forest, it is really the luck of my Li family."
Qianye smiled faintly and said, "The misty forest is not a good place. It is more suitable for the dark race."
Li Yanshou said frankly: "That's true, so my Li family has shown enough sincerity this time. In addition to the general rewards for everyone, we will also provide you with monthly remuneration, 2,000 gold coins per month or so." Valuable goods."
This is similar to the conditions offered by the Song Clan. The purpose is to recruit strong men stationed in the war zone. Looking at this price alone, Jingtang Li really treats Qianye as a strong man who is three levels higher. It's just that thinking about the relationship between the Zhao family and the Li family, Qianye always has a lingering subtle feeling in his heart.
Perhaps his thoughts were brought out on the surface, Li Yanshou said again: "In addition, every time you accumulate the military merit of a marquis, you will also get an additional military merit equivalent to an earl. In the end, some of my Li family's unique Some potions and equipment are usually not open to the public, but if you have a need, you can ask for it, I think, apart from that, there should be nothing that cannot be discussed."
Qianye smiled slightly and asked, "What about 'Jingshui Disheng'?"
Li Yanshou raised his eyebrows, paused for a while, and then said: "That's what I'm talking about. However, if you really want to, then it's not impossible to talk about accumulating more than a Marquis military merit."
Qianye nodded. If Li Yanshou agreed, it would inevitably make people suspicious, and hesitation would only increase credibility. "I'm afraid you won't earn much under such conditions, right?"
Li Yanshou stroked his beard with a smile, and said: "As long as we guard the misty forest, our Li family will earn money. The small profit in front of us is nothing at all. You also know that when the merits are divided after the war, it will be based on The size of the military achievements determines the territory of each family on the floating land, which is a real expansion of the territory."
Qianye smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I also have a condition."
Li Yanshou showed a serious expression and listened attentively.
"Half of my military merits in the misty forest, including the Li family's rewards, must be paid in the form of imperial military merits, and it should be recorded in my personal name, and cannot be declared in the name of the Li family."
The smile on Li Yanshou's face disappeared immediately, he stared at Qianye, and said word by word: "General Qianye, if these military achievements cannot be placed under the Li family's name, it means that the Li family will not be able to do so in the post-war merit evaluation." Suffer a great loss. This is very unfavorable for the division of territories."
Qianye had no intention of giving in, and said indifferently: "Defending the Misty Forest is the greatest achievement, and nothing else is important."
Li Yanshou stared at Qianye, and Qianye also looked back without giving in.
After a moment of stalemate, Li Yanshou said: "I respect that the Li family of Tang is not a short-sighted and dishonest person. No matter what your background is, as long as you join our war zone, you will be respected by the elders of the family. Even if the military achievements are recorded in the name of the Li family, all interests It will all belong to you, this can be guaranteed. So you don’t have to worry, if you don’t even have this little reputation, how can my Li family gain a foothold in the empire!”
Qianye's expression was calm, and he didn't pretend to understand Li Yanshou's implication, just smiled and said: "If I accept the monthly remuneration offered by the Li family, of course I won't leave your war zone without a reason."
Li Yanshou pulled the muscles on his cheeks unnaturally, and finally said after a while: "You can only record the part you have gained yourself, otherwise we will lose too much in terms of military achievements."
Qianye said indifferently: "Then when you accumulate a Marquis military merit, you can also add the earl military merit that will be given as a gift."
Li Yanshou was silent for a while, and said: "General Qianye, my Li family has made such a concession, you must show some sincerity?"
Qianye said: "This is what it should be. I can promise that in the misty forest, I will at least make military achievements equivalent to the strength of a Marquis."
Li Yanshou's complexion changed slightly, and he paused before saying: "General Qianye really deserves his reputation. Since you are so confident, then what's the problem with this old man agreeing to these two conditions on behalf of the Li family?"
So far, the two parties have roughly agreed that the lieutenant colonel will take out a contract in a short while and put it in front of Qianye, which seems to be well prepared. Qianye read the terms carefully, then picked up a pen, and scribbled and signed his name on the contract.
Seeing Qianye signing the contract, Li Yanshou's expression returned to normal, and he slowly showed joy. He immediately hit the lieutenant colonel to fetch an extra ammunition and handed it to Qianye, which was regarded as an advance resource. This time, it wasn't the standard ammunition, but the real magic-breaking mithril bullet, with a total of thirty rounds, to show that the Li family had indeed given Qianye resources equivalent to the elder Ke Qing.
Next, the two sides agreed on some details. The battle is not particularly urgent at this moment, Qianye is going to rest for a day or two to adjust to the best condition, and then take the Li family's floating battleship to the foggy forest battle zone.
After the talks between the two parties were completed, Qianye returned to his camp. He still had some doubts about the Li family's extraordinary hospitality, but he didn't get too entangled. The misty forest was the battle zone he had chosen for himself long ago, and this contract was to maximize the benefits. As for whether there are others, what should come will always come.
The scenery on the void floating land is completely different from that of Eternal Night. The climate here is very similar to that of the mainland of the empire, but slightly colder. But looking out from here, the sky is also exceptionally clear. The sun in the sky pours bright light onto the entire floating land, bringing life to every corner.
After the giant beast's will disappeared, the floating land seemed extraordinarily bright.
Qianye didn't care about admiring the beautiful scenery, and concentrated on cultivating in the camp. Before the war, every point of strength increase is very important.
However, just after noon, a clear bell rang outside the tent, causing Qianye to retreat from his cultivation state with a shock of blood.
Standing outside the camp was a major from the Li family. When he saw Qianye, he said anxiously: "Just an hour ago, the dark race raided the misty forest. The current battle situation and the enemy's combat strength are unclear. Please go forward immediately." Base, if necessary, please consider going to war."
Qianye had already made preparations, and he didn't shirk at this moment. He picked up his luggage and followed the major to the floating ship.
On the way, Qianye saw many floating ships taking off urgently, flying in all directions.
The major noticed Qianye's gaze and explained: "The dark race has raided more than one place this time. Landing ships have landed in almost seven theaters. In addition, there should be reinforcements arriving at the advance base they control."
"Where's our floating fleet?"
"It's still fighting with the Eternal Night Fleet in the void, and I don't know how the battle is going."
In fact, it can only be seen from the large-scale landing of the dark race's troops on the void floating land that the recent air battle against the empire has not been very smooth.
The floating ship was not far away, Qianye quickened his pace and quickly boarded the gangway. There were already five or six people sitting in this high-speed airship. Qianye glanced at it, and it could be seen from the clothes that they were all strong men recruited by the Li family just like Qianye.
When Qianye appeared at the cabin door, several eyes fell on him at the same time, among them were inquiries, observations, provocations and demonstrations, and there was even a murderous look in one of the eyes.
Qianye frowned slightly, looked back unceremoniously, and saw a thin man with a gloomy face sitting in a corner of the cabin. He was wearing a field combat uniform with a camouflage effect, but there was no military rank on it, nor did he have the mark of the legion he belonged to.
The man's appearance was ordinary, and the most noticeable thing was his pair of eyes, which were like snakes, with strange vertical pupils. Seeing Qianye looking over, he grinned and spit out a silent dirty word at Qianye.
Qianye's face turned cold, and his eyes immediately turned deep blue. Under the real vision, the snake-like man's original force fluctuations showed nothing to hide, and all of them were clearly displayed. His level is as high as thirteenth, which is equivalent to the earl powerhouse of the Eternal Night camp, no wonder he is so arrogant.
But Qianye didn't have this face in his memory, and he didn't know where his hostility towards him came from.
