1685 Eunuch army
After chatting with the businessman for a few more words, Li Fan also learned some more information.
It turns out that this kind of civil war often occurs in Tianwaitian. I heard that it is a war initiated by the immortals who have been granted lordships to compete for resources and population. The eight immortals of Tianwaitian also acquiesced to this kind of war. Only war can cultivate the soldiers of Tianwaitian and make them stronger!
"Since you are going to recruit soldiers, why not buy a fairy pet from me."
The businessman pointed to some ping pong ball-sized amber in front of him, "These are all low-grade fairy pets that can help you in battle!"
The fairy pet is a unique spiritual beast in Tianwaitian. It is captured by hunters and then sealed in special amber. Every warrior in Tianwaitian can have an immortal pet as a fighting force. This immortal pet is divided into three levels, lower, middle and upper.
Li Fan shook his head, and the merchant hurriedly said, "Are you not satisfied? It doesn't matter, I still have a middle-grade fairy pet here!"
Li Fan shook his head again.
"Could it be that... Master, do you want a top-grade immortal pet?"
"No, I have no money."
Li Fan's words left the businessman speechless.
Li Fan had just arrived in this outer world. Where could he find the Immortal Crystal
"It doesn't matter...just take this."
The businessman waved his hand, then picked up a red amber from the stall and handed it to Li Fan.
"Take this."
"I have no money!"
"I'll give it to you first."
The businessman patted his chest and said, "You are fighting for our Yue King, so you can't go into battle empty-handed. Although this is a low-grade immortal pet, it is not particularly good, but at least it is a fighting force for you. From now on, you can give me the money after you receive your salary. that is."
"Thank you very much."
Li Fan was a little surprised. The people here are simple and loyal.
Could it be that this Yue King has some unique charm
There are forty-nine immortals in Tianwaitian, and they also have forty-nine fiefdoms. The population and resources of each fiefdom are different. In order to make their fiefdom stronger, the forty-nine princes naturally often went to war with each other.
Li Fan inquired with the businessman again and heard that the Yue King was a good person. He was very kind to the people of the fief and had low taxes, so he was very popular among the people.
"I used to be from Qingqiu. When I came to Qingqiu, the king really... didn't mention it. Later, my family moved to Yue City and lived a prosperous life. Thanks to the blessing of the King of Yue, I should also repay the favor."
The businessman chatted with Li Fan for a few more words.
"Go, little brother, I wish you good luck in martial arts!"
The businessman gave Li Fan an encouraging look. Li Fan felt a little touched in his heart. If Tianwaitian had such a trend, it would be a very difficult opponent...
No matter what, let’s go in and take a look first.
Li Fan took the low-grade immortal pet given to him by the merchant and headed all the way to the recruiting office in the town.
While on the road, Li Fan did not forget to look around. Remember every piece of information here.
Tianwaitian is indeed a very special place. Li Fan walked along and felt that most of the people here were very simple, not like Hua and Yu, the invaders who went on an expedition to the earth.
"Coming to recruit soldiers?"
At the recruiting office was a centurion wearing black armor. He glanced at Li Fan and frowned, "I've never seen you before. Where did you come from?"
"Sir, the younger one came from Qingqiu."
Li Fan immediately replied, "Our Lord in Qingqiu imposed excessive levies, so I traveled all the way across mountains and rivers to our Yue City. Because when I first arrived here, there was no livelihood. When I heard that the King of Yue was recruiting troops, the villain came."
"Oh, people from Qingqiu, no wonder."
The centurion suddenly realized what he was doing, and Li Fan murmured in his heart, what kind of person is this Lord of Qingqiu? It seems that everyone doesn't like him very much.
"As long as you are willing to fight for my lord, you are a citizen of my country!"
The centurion continued. He picked up a book and asked, "What's your name?"
"Li Dazhuang."
Li Fan made up a name casually.
"The people in Qingqiu just don't have much culture, they are big and strong..."
The centurion pouted, and then with a stroke of his pen, he registered Li Fan's name on it.
"Okay, take this wooden sign and report back tomorrow!"
"yes."
Li Fan held the wooden sign with his name on it, but what he was thinking about was, where will he stay tonight
When he got to this place, he really didn't have a dime. He must hurry up and complete the conscription, and don't let Emperor Wu catch up with him. Emperor Wu knew him so well that no matter how he changed his body, he would be instantly recognized by Emperor Wu.
"Wait a minute, you don't seem to have a place to live, right?"
The centurion suddenly called out to Li Fan, "Forget it, there aren't many people signing up this time anyway, let's call it a day."
"Hey, is that okay?"
Li Fan was a little surprised. Can he finish work early
"To be honest, I have been waiting here for ten days, and you are the third person to come to recruit soldiers."
The centurion shrugged, "After all, no one likes being a soldier. This job is too hard."
The ordinary people in Tianwaitian are not warlike and have a gentle personality. Li Fan had already seen this on his way here.
"We, the King of Yue, only had a hundred-man team before. Because of the war, we wanted to recruit one more. But I took about four months and only recruited more than thirty people, which is pretty good."
“…”
Li Fan was a little speechless. He had recruited thirty people in four months... and a prince only had one hundred soldiers under his command.
The combat effectiveness of Tianwaitian is indeed a bit lacking.
"However, there are not many soldiers but good ones."
The centurion didn't know who he was comforting, "Just like you in Qingqiu, although you have a huge army of ten thousand people. But what's the use? Most of them are forcibly recruited from the people, and their combat effectiveness is low. And this kind of behavior, Master Tianxian will definitely punish them!"
No wonder so many people escaped from Qingqiu, and the princes there liked to force everyone to do corvee service.
"The one who can fight best is Baicheng."
The centurion didn't know that during the chat, he had leaked the information to Li Fan invisibly, "The people in that place are fierce by nature! Almost all the people are soldiers, and their army is really elite! The future expeditionary force , I’m afraid they are going to be the main force.”
"expedition?"
Li Fan was stunned when he heard this, "Where are you going on an expedition?"
"Of course it's the lower realm."
The centurion was a soldier after all. When he said this, his eyes became a little fanatical.
"Didn't you say that if we go to the lower world, we will have feelings for humans?"
Li Fan couldn't help but ask, "Once we give birth to children with humans, it will be the end of us."
"So we need to select an expeditionary force."
The centurion said, "This expeditionary force contains only men...and all of them are castrated."
"ha?"
Li Fan almost dropped his jaw, love is an army of eunuchs? As far as he knew, although people in Tianwaitian were unable to have children, it didn't stop them from having sex. Many people choose to practice dual cultivation, and the effect is even stronger!
