"Okay, that's it for the introduction." Larvin nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that this competition has indeed attracted a lot of talents for the empire."
"But I think the biggest gain is Anne." Joffrey said with a smile. With Larvin's permission, this guy's pursuit of Annelotte was almost undisguised.
Of course, he could only dare to be so blatant when Malolite was not around. If that old psycho was here, he wouldn't care if you were an imperial prince. If you dare to touch your precious daughter, I'll give you a big kick in the ass first.
Now, Joffrey's plan is to catch Annelotte before Malolite comes back. As long as the girl agrees, the old lunatic will probably not say anything more. It is said that Malolite is not afraid of anything, but when facing his precious girl, he is as docile as a little sheep.
"The eldest prince is flattered." Annelotte replied calmly. She glanced at Regnar unintentionally, and then she saw that this guy's face was as gray as a dog.
"Of course what Joffrey said is not too much, and Anne, you don't have to be too modest." Larvin said with a smile: "Okay, I think you should also know what I want to do by recruiting you into the palace. That's right. , it’s a reward.”
A group of people below quickly expressed their gratitude, and some of them excitedly began to express their loyalty to Lar.
But the Fat King waved his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet: "I am very satisfied with the talents selected in this competition. Therefore, I decided to add some additional rewards to the winners on this basis. In addition to the gold coin rewards, I will also open the Royal Private Collection Hall, where you can choose enchanted equipment. As for the grade of the equipment and the quantity to choose, it is of course determined by your results. Someone will explain this to you in detail later."
As soon as Ralphin spoke, everyone became excited. Enchanted equipment, that's enchanted equipment! Even the most basic enchanted equipment costs hundreds of gold coins, and how could the enchanted equipment collected in the Royal Private Collection be ordinary? It can be said that this additional reward has doubled the rewards of this competition!
"Hey! The Hawke Empire is quite generous." Kordak was also overjoyed. He felt that his two-handed sword was not up to par, and he just happened to find a good one this time. After all, he was a high-level warrior, so it would be unreasonable if he didn't even have a decent enchanted weapon. You must know that his younger brother Regnar already has two of them. If he didn't take advantage of them, Kordak would not be able to snatch one from Regnar.
"Hey, the better you play, the more equipment you will get. I might be able to get two or three!" Regnar said proudly.
"Give me two!" Kordak took action without hesitation.
"Go away, you are robbing!" Regnar yelled.
"Tch, whatever you want, anyway, if you don't bring it to Vera, you can see how she deals with you. I won't stop you." Kordak said lazily.
“…”
"Okay, I have already arranged the rewards. You can pick them out in a moment, but now, there is one more thing." As soon as Larvin's voice came out, everyone quickly fell silent.
"As you can see, the empire is now in a war stage. Moreover, I can say without hesitation that our current situation on the battlefield is not optimistic." Emperor Larvin's expression also became solemn.
"Your Majesty, what do you need us to do?" A middle-aged mage stood up and asked.
"I think everyone knows that the real purpose of this competition is to select talents." Larvin said: "So, I hope that all of you who stand out in this competition can make your due contributions to the empire."
As soon as Emperor Ralphin finished speaking, he received responses from many people. They participated in the competition with the intention of joining the Hawke Empire's military. Now that Emperor Ralphin proposed it, they naturally responded quickly.
"The war on the front lines of the empire is very tight, so we also urgently hope that all the good players can join the army as soon as possible and turn the battle situation on the front lines." Joffrey said: "But you should also know that this competition will not affect the identity and background of the personnel. There are not many restrictions, so people from Stoke and northern barbarians come to participate in this competition."
"Is Your Highness afraid that there are Stoker spies among us?" one person asked.
Joffrey stood up and bowed, and then said: "I'm sorry for this, but it is indeed the case. Although our intelligence agencies have investigated your backgrounds, so far we are still not sure who everyone here is. Is there anyone with evil intentions? I’m sorry for doubting you, and I, Joffrey, would like to apologize.”
After Joffrey finished speaking, he bowed again. Seeing how sincere Joffrey was, everyone expressed their understanding.
"So what does the Empire ask us to do? Prove our loyalty to the Empire?" Another soldier asked.
"It's very simple." Joffrey smiled and said: "You are all the elites among the elites selected by the empire. Therefore, if you are interested in joining the military, you can form an elite team with others here, and then go to the southern battlefield to fight for freedom. Fight. We will not interfere with your actions during this period. At the same time, you can also obtain supplies for free from the fortress strongholds of the Hawk Empire."
"Then what?" Regnar asked.
Joffrey glanced at Regnar, and then said: "When you have achieved a sufficient number of achievements, you will be recognized by the imperial military. At that time, we will arrange the recognized personnel into the military. As for the position, , it depends on the size of your military merit."
"So that's it..." Everyone suddenly realized that the Hawke Empire was actually just asking people like them to get a certificate of surrender.
They don't have much resistance to this approach. It's just a matter of killing a few Stoke people to prove their position. Although the few people present are not perverts who enjoy killing people, at least they are ruthless characters with a few lives on their hands. If they are allowed to kill them, A few enemies, they will naturally not object.
"Boss, what do you think?" Regnar asked Kordak.
"..." Kordak thought for a moment, and then said: "Go ahead. Staying in Melinder is just a waste of food anyway. It's better to go there and stretch your muscles."
"Very good, bring both Goethe and Eberron?" Regnar asked.
"That depends on them." Kordak replied: "Both of them are pretty good. If they are willing, I have no objection."
"Okay." Regnar immediately turned to Eberron and Goethe to discuss. His request was very simple, that is, to form a team with him and Kordak. Kordak will become the leader of the team. Unless the members join, Leave the group or must obey Kordak's leadership.
In addition, their team will also bring Vera and Irene with them this time. Team members have the responsibility and obligation to take good care of them, and they must not say that these people will hold the team back.
Such conditions are not particularly harsh. After all, there is an absolute strongman like Regnar, who is in the top four, and there is no danger in having a few weaker companions. Moreover, one of the three people here is a top-notch stunner with a hot and sexy body. , the other is gentle and considerate, and can also help people heal. Regnar thought that both of them would agree, but unexpectedly, neither of them agreed.
"I can't leave Meteor City easily yet. I have to continue to keep an eye on the affairs of the Military Intelligence Department." Goethe explained to Regner.
"I'm sorry, I'm used to being alone. Although you are great partners, I think it would be more efficient to complete this operation on my own." Eberron made it clear that he was used to being alone. .
In this regard, Regnar could only shake his head helplessly. Everyone has their own ambitions, and he couldn't force this matter.
He told Kordak the answers of the two people, and Kordak didn't care. The guy waved his hand: "Ah, since they don't want to, it doesn't matter. I thought there would be two more people to share Vera's firepower. , now Kailai we are still two brothers in need."
Regnar also looked bitter: "Yeah..."
When Joffrey saw that everyone was almost done discussing it, he also said: "If you are interested in joining our imperial military, then please come forward and receive your corresponding badges. This is customized for you by the Palace Mage Association and has identification. The magic effect of the holder, so it is the best thing to prove your identity. On the battlefield, if the imperial military sees it, it will also help you."
"Let's go up and get one." Kordak greeted Regnar.
Regnar followed Kordak and lined up. Standing in front of him was a thin girl with long blue-purple hair.
"Hey, are you the top four thunder this time?" The girl turned her head and greeted Regna warmly. Only then did Regner see the girl's face. He had to say that although her figure was not very good (her breasts were flat), her face looked very smart and cute, which made people have the urge to tease her.
"Ah... yes..." Regnar replied.
"Wow, it's really you. I watched the fight between you and Lei Ge. It was really awesome!" The girl looked excited and admired.
"..." Regnar was left speechless by the girl's enthusiasm. He could only stammer: "Uh... thank you for the compliment... I think it's okay."
"You are very humble! If you are free in the future, can I ask you for advice?" the girl said.
"Ah?" Regnar was stunned.
The girl pointed at herself with some pride: "Don't look at me like this. In fact, I am also an assassin, but not as powerful as you. So, can you give me some guidance in the future?"
"Ah?!" Regnar was stunned again, but he looked at the girl's expectant eyes and finally couldn't bear to reject her. He reluctantly nodded: "Okay... okay..."
"Then it's settled!" The girl happily stretched out her white and tender hands: "Come on, let's pull the hook."
"..." Regnar could only do as he was told.
"Haha, the agreement is completed!" The girl was still excited: "Oh, how rude, I should introduce myself first. Lei, hello, my name is Lati. The top 32 in this competition, an eleventh-level assassin .”
"Hello Lati..." Regnar realized that the rhythm was entirely driven by this woman.
"Okay, we'll talk about it later. Now it's time for me to receive the badge." Letty showed a playful smile to Regnar, and then skipped towards the staff who issued the badge.
"What's wrong? Are you fascinated by that little girl?" Kordak pushed Regna who looked confused.
"No..." Regnar shook his head: "I always feel that something is wrong."
Just before Regnar finished speaking, Lati suddenly took out a dagger from nowhere. She ignored the guards issuing badges and the stunned Joffrey, and charged towards the unsuspecting Emperor Larvin with her own weapon!
