Chapter 840

The cannon breathed out, looked at arrow seriously again, and said slowly——

"In fact, the rumors of weakening the guild began as early as two or three years ago."

"President ello, do you know the ruling mode of our empire? As our royal family, the blue bay royal family has a large number of troops to maintain the stability of local law and order and deal with a large number of enemy or rebels. "

"However, it is impossible for his Majesty's funds to arrange all areas of our territory in all aspects. What's more, recruiting more soldiers means that while some people are out of work, they have a mouth that is completely unproductive. Therefore, in peacetime, the number of our country's army has not been very strong. Only in wartime can an emergency mobilization order be used to recruit a group of soldiers. "

"This will lead to a problem, that is, in some remote areas, it is almost impossible for soldiers to patrol there. Therefore, in order to save our money, the royal family began to allow the establishment of teams in the form of adventurers' Guild. "

"The members of the adventurer guild can perform some tasks that should have been completed by the Royal Army in areas beyond the military power of the blue bay empire. Such as exterminating mountain bandits, exterminating Warcraft and so on. "

"Such things have been carried out silently for decades, but just when all of us thought this way was perfect for both sides, our emperor was sick and couldn't move in bed. After our crown prince came to power, he began a series of conscription and studied the border areas. At the same time, it is also a large-scale dispatch of soldiers to our city for covert observation. "

"I won't talk about other cities. Maybe I don't know very well. But in Hanhai City, a large-scale action against the guild has begun. Take our guild for example... "

After a short pause, the fire cannon exhaled and said, "recently, people have been coming to me, hoping that I can join the Imperial Army, and then said that I can buy my guild at a price that makes me satisfied."

"The other party offered me a price that I couldn't refuse, and promised me that other guild members except me would join the army at the same time. As president, I can take on some important positions in the army and even become a small captain. "

"I'm... Very excited."

Listening to these, arrow had no expression on his face, but maintained that faint smile.

Destroy the guild

This word sounds terrible, but it may not be so nervous in fact.

Just as the president of the purgatory guild said, the Empire was willing to offer a very attractive price to dissolve these guilds, and then convert a large number of people with strong combat power into the army.

From the heart... This is a correct proposition.

The adventurer guild system is different from the chamber of commerce system.

The adventurer guild itself is a system that exists as a supplementary form of daily security maintenance due to the lack of Imperial military strength.

Therefore, the adventurer guild was initially in an area that could not be covered by the military power of the Empire, or although it could be covered, it would be very difficult to operate.

With the acquiescence of the current emperor to the guild system, the adventurer guild has gradually developed and expanded to its present level in recent decades. It can even be stationed in some imperial cities with abundant military strength.

With the development and expansion of the guild system, it can reduce the expenditure for the country's military strength.

This is easy to understand, because some work that originally needed to be completed by the imperial army can now be completed by ordinary guilds, so the cost of maintaining the army can naturally be reduced. Over time, even if the Imperial Army existed, when encountering some Warcraft that killed mountain bandits or civilians, they would rather let ordinary guilds complete it and pay some commission money at most. These commissions are really too little compared with the expenses for daily maintenance of the army.

So... Is it a good thing for the Empire to let the adventurer guild take root and sprout systematically?

I'm afraid... That's not a good thing.

Especially in recent years, there has been constant friction between the blue bay Empire and the hunter empire. I'm afraid it is because of this constant friction that the royal family feels the weakness of military strength.

Without sufficient regular armies, powerful warriors or magicians will be poached by powerful guilds. It's easy to do if you just meet ordinary mountain bandits or Warcraft, but if you really hire these scattered guilds to go to the front line to resist the regular forces of other countries, these guilds may want to preserve their strength, or they can't cooperate well with each other, resulting in few results.

In times of general peace, there was certainly no problem with the development of the adventurer guild.

However, if the interests of other countries collide, the adventurer guild system, according to its essence, can certainly not become an opponent of the regular army of other countries.

Under such thinking, the current crown prince wants to gradually eliminate the guild system and network a large number of soldiers scattered in the guild to the army, which itself is a very correct decision.

But such a decision is destined to have some other hidden dangers

After all, how much money to use to acquire these chambers of commerce is itself a topic that can be operated wantonly

"President of the big gun, so have you promised? Sell your guild? "

ELO asked softly.

The big gun smiled, involuntarily raised the corner of his mouth and said, "generally, I am willing to sell my guild. After all, no one can be an adventurer all his life. As you get older, your physical strength weakens, and even your magic affinity will slowly weaken. To do such a thing at that time is undoubtedly waiting for death. But... "

"Hehe, I don't want to sell it at such a cheap price. And if I can, I hope all my guild members can be assigned to a team with me. If you can, even let me directly lead my guild members to form a team directly. If the Empire agrees to such conditions, I don't want to insist too much on the price. "

After all, it's a freedom.

The purchase money may be a lot, but in addition, these adventurers also know that if they are incorporated into the army, they can imagine that there will be many constraints. Moreover, after that, it is equivalent to a soldier with dead wages. Compared with in the guild, his income may not be able to increase, but will directly decline. Not to mention some fixed guard tasks that were originally entrusted by large families every month, which is equivalent to all gone!

However, if you can form a team with your guild members, these problems can be easily solved.

Arrow nodded slightly, smiled and said, "it seems that the president of the big gun has not made the final decision... But what does this have to do with us who participate in the guild championship?"

The fire cannon sighed and said with a little helpless attitude: "for our famous guilds, the empire is certainly willing to buy us and incorporate us."

"But what about you novices? What are you new guilds going to do? Are you all bought by our guilds? It's impossible. "

Arrow thought for a moment and said with a little doubt: "so... You mean, the third task of the guild championship... Is that the Empire wants us new adventurers to fight with those mountain bandits, then consume each other, and finally enter the arena to harvest us?!"

The face of the big gun suddenly became nervous. He quickly put his finger in front of his lips, gently hissed and said, "don't be so loud! Keep your voice down. Do you want to die? "

Ello quickly lowered his head and stopped talking.

The cannon looked around and confirmed that there were no others before he continued: "I can't guarantee that someone will come to harvest you finally, but I think there should be no problem for you and those mountain thieves to consume each other. Otherwise, you think, I have never heard that there are a large number of mountain bandits in the forest and mine area before. Our guild has never received such a task. But how did you come here and suddenly there were so many mountain bandits? "

At this point, the big gun slapped arrow on the back. This action was too violent, which made arrow's body jump forward involuntarily. He was slightly frightened, instinctively covered his chest, turned his head and stared at the president of the purgatory guild.

"President arrow, I owe your guild a favor, so I'll give it back to you now."

However, the fire cannon didn't seem to realize that arrow's eyes were full of vigilance and tension. He thought he was nervous about the mountain bandits, and continued——

"The task of this guild championship is absolutely difficult! You should understand that it's best for your guild to withdraw directly now, and even go back to the town you came to as soon as possible after withdrawing directly! Your town seems remote, doesn't it? It is estimated that it will take several years until the reform order reaches you. Take these years to speed up the reform, and then find a way to sell yourself at a good price! "

With that, the big gun raised his hand again, as if to pat arrow on the shoulder again.
