However, there was nothing he could do now. The union was only at level one at the moment. Perhaps he would be able to choose his targets once he reached a higher level.

“I currently have ten gold coins, and all the recruitment conditions have been met.”

After a moment’s deliberation, Jiang Chen began to think about his next development.

“I was lucky enough to find a lot of useful resources around the territory, but as I searched, the limited resources became fewer and fewer. I’ll inevitably have to go out in the future.”

“If you want to obtain more resources, you can’t avoid going out. You must first have the ability to protect yourself.”

He realized that the territory was most lacking in armed forces. Although there were two soldiers, their strength was only slightly stronger than ordinary migrant workers.

Looking at the detailed introduction of the union, Jiang Chen made a decision in his heart.

“I hope you won’t disappoint me and issue a recruitment order!”

Just as Jiang Chen was about to recruit members again…

“System notification: the first union has been detected. You are rewarded with three special recruitment privileges. Recruitment order has also been issued. Cost: 5 gold coins.”

It was the voice of the lordship’s system.

Jiang Chen was startled and quickly opened the chat channel.

It was almost dark now, and these people were still chatting fervently. Jiang Chen had been peeping at the screen for half a day talking about matters related to the union, and even the content of the special rewards.

“Looks like it’s because I was the first Lord to establish the union that I received this reward. Not everyone will receive it.”

Jiang Chen immediately realized that this was unique to him, and a wave of wild joy swept through his heart.

Special recruitment meant that the people recruited were definitely rarer and more powerful than normal recruitment.

Although he didn’t know what they would recruit, there was no doubt that it wouldn’t be too bad.

After some thought, Jiang Chen decided to start recruiting now.

Right after Jiang Chen made his choice, a yellow notice materialized out of thin air and flew towards the center of the union.

It suddenly dispersed in the center of the union, disintegrating into powder and falling to the ground.

Following that, a hexagram of light lit up together.

A wave of spatial distortions appeared within, gradually becoming larger and larger, turning into an enormous beam of light.

After the ray of light had taken shape.

A streak of white smoke continuously billowed up before gradually dissipating.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, this special effect!”

Jiang Chen praised.

When Jiang Chen opened his eyes again, the white smoke had completely dissipated.

A farmer with tanned skin and a thin and weak figure appeared before his eyes.

He wasn’t wearing any clothes and was wearing a pair of pants that could cover the lower half of his body.

It was a bit eye-piercing.

“I, Wang Ergou, pay my respects to your Lordship.”

The farmer walked over and immediately bowed to Jiang Chen, his face full of respect and politeness.

At the same time, Wang Ergou’s information panel appeared before Jiang Chen’s eyes.

“Subject: Wang Ergou. Occupation: builder, level: LV4, potential: 2 stars, stamina: 95/95, loyalty: 70, talent: construction, hence time taken by construction workers can be reduced by 20%.”

“His abilities aren’t bad!”

Although he’d been prepared, he couldn’t help but be ecstatic when he saw Wang Ergou’s information.

This meant that the early stages of the territory’s construction could greatly reduce the time needed for growth and win them more construction opportunities.

In addition, Jiang Chen had learned a lot from the previous guide.

If the loyalty was below 50, the subjects might rebel.

And according to his understanding, the physical strength of an adult male should be around 80, but Wang Ergou had a score of 95.

Not only was he a special talent, but his physical strength was also higher than that of an ordinary person.

At this moment, the mechanical voice spoke again:

“You have two more special recruitment opportunities. Would you like to use them?”

Jiang Chen didn’t think too much about it and spoke without hesitation:

“Recruitment!”

The white fog rose once more, just like what had just happened.

In less than a minute, a tall figure walked out from the union.

“Humble servant Tie Dan greets the Lord.”

He half-knelt in front of Jiang Chen after speaking.

Tie Dan’s information also appeared before Jiang Chen’s eyes.

“Subject: Tie Dan, occupation: blacksmith, level: 4, potential: 3 stars, stamina: 150/150, loyalty: 80, talent: Hundred Times Critical Strike. Only used to smelt metal and forge weapons.”

“Holy sh*t!”

Jiang Chen almost jumped up when he saw Tie Dan’s information and cursed out loud.

Hundred Times Critical Strike, a hundred times reward!

If shortening the construction time of the territory’s buildings was what was needed right now, then this hundred times critical strike was a greater gift!

Although it could only be used for smelting and forging, it was still quite heaven-defying.

In other words, as long as Tie Dan forged one unit of metal in the future, he would be rewarded with ten units of metal in return!

This talent was simply too strong.

Before Jiang Chen could put away his excitement.

White light lit up once more.

A figure even taller and stronger than Tie Dan walked out of the door and stood in front of Jiang Chen without moving an inch.

The person in front of him had thick limbs and bulging muscles, as if they were about to explode.

The most eye-catching thing was the mount this person was riding, a tall and fierce giant wolf.

Suddenly, this giant figure split into two.

The cavalry soldier on top, who was about 1.8 meters tall and seemed to weigh at least 80 kilograms, stepped off the back of the giant wolf beneath him.

He brought the giant wolf to Jiang Chen’s front.

“Roar!”

After the wolf howled, it was the powerful voice of the cavalry soldier’s turn.

“Cavalry soldier Parker reporting for duty!”

“Great Lord, may you prosper!”

Jiang Chen nodded nervously.

His gaze sized up the giant wolf. It was a giant wolf that was about three meters long and 1.2 meters above the ground.

Just its size alone was two-fifths larger than the wolves on Earth.

Its large mouth was interlaced with canine teeth, and its sharp fangs were enough to make one shudder with fear just by looking at it!

This was an absolutely stunning beast!

Then look at that soldier Parker.

He was a typical brawny man, and on his determined face, there were black tattoos.

He looked brave, determined, and good at fighting!

He was only wearing a simple fur vest, and his lower body was also wearing very primitive fur shorts and fur shoes.

His entire body was full of muscles, and he was full of explosive power.

He wore a round helmet with metal spikes on his head.

The spikes on the top of the helmet had been broken and worn a lot. One could even see the marks of knives, axes, and chisels on the edges of the helmet.

A saber was hung on both sides of his waist.

There were cyan-black mottled marks on the body of the saber, but the edge of the saber was shining with a silvery-white cold light.

On his back, he also carried a leather short spear bag with ten short spears inside. These were his throwing weapons.

There was also a net hanging from his back. The tip of the spear was cold and sharp, looking extremely lethal.

It was both near and far, and had such a fierce giant wolf mount. It was simply invincible.

The more Jiang Chen looked, the more he liked it in his heart.

Parker still maintained the position of kneeling on one knee.

Jiang Chen hurriedly patted his broad shoulders.

“Get up, Parker.”

“Welcome to the team!”

Parker nodded in greeting, then stood up and pulled the giant wolf a few meters back.

He patted the giant wolf’s head, then turned around and mounted it.

Jiang Chen stood where he was and began to check Parker’s stats.

“Subject: Parker, occupation: wolf cavalry, level: 6, potential: 4 stars, stamina: 220/220, damage: 65, defense: 38, loyalty: 80. Skill: Machete Slash (attack, chop, damage stacked by 1.5, additional wolf mark, 5 stacks of explosive damage + 10).”

“Adult wolf, name: Fenrir, level: 6, race: beast, bite damage: 45-51, hp: 335, defense: 35..”
