Chapter 2376

"Have you heard? At the enthronement ceremony held before, our new emperor seemed to have declared war with more than 20 countries at once." In a bar in the imperial capital, several mercenaries finished a busy day and were enjoying Food and wine. While bragging, he also talked about the jaw-dropping enthronement ceremony that happened not long ago.

"I've heard it, but I don't know the specific situation... You said that there are only six or seven countries bordering our empire itself. How can there be twenty or so countries that can be announced?" Another mercenary man next to him Said.

Yes, although the Holy Empire of Iran has a vast territory, there are not many countries bordering it. Apart from a few small vassal states that were themselves the Holy Empire of Elan, there were only six "other countries" in total. One of them was the orc empire that was almost wiped out by the third legion before.

Although this group of mercenaries were relatively knowledgeable in their travels, at most they only knew some countries around the Holy Empire of Elan. It was the first time they had heard the names of most of the twenty or so countries that Linton announced in one breath, let alone where and how big the country was.

Yes, the list of countries that have been announced is in the bulletins and in the newspapers, but the reaction of most of the people is... who is this? If Linton hadn't announced them, they would never have heard of this country in their lifetime, okay?

"Uh... Anyway, it's going to be a war, right?" The mercenary who brought up the topic naturally didn't know many people, so he said directly, "Deputy head, we have some money to make."

"The announcement didn't say anything about the recruitment of mercenary groups." The deputy head next to him took a sip and said, "But although I don't know where these countries are, but so many announcements in one go, the empire's troops should not be enough Bar."

"The New Empire is rich, and it gave so much to a few people before it was arrested. This time, the commission is estimated to be very generous." Another member of the group next to him said, "Deputy group leader, why don't we go out and do it alone!"

"Huh?" These words made several people present stop raising their glasses. Yes, they are all from the deputy head's faction, they are not from the same group as their big head. The conflict between the deputy head and the big head is getting worse day by day. Seeing that the split is imminent, everyone knows it in their hearts, but it is the first time to talk about it on the stage while taking advantage of the strength of wine.

A few people looked at the deputy head. Could it be that the deputy head ordered them to split up?

But this time it wasn't specially instructed by the deputy head, but someone raised it, and he was a little moved.

Relying on the previous wave of arrests, they have accumulated a lot of wealth, which is enough to expand the wave of manpower and equipment. If we separate now, there should be no problem. It just so happens that the empire has wars to fight, and if there are wars to fight, they will naturally get money. With the war to support the war, his new mercenary group should be able to develop. Thinking of this, he is also a little moved, this is a good opportunity.

"Are you willing to follow me?" the deputy head said suddenly.

"Of course!" "Yes, Boss, we've wanted to work with you for a long time."...

Since the few people around can go out to drink alone with the deputy head, they are naturally confidantes. The deputy head himself only asked when he knew the truth, and sure enough, these people all expressed their intention to work independently with him.

"Okay! Then let's create brilliance together!" The deputy head raised his glass directly and shouted with great ambition.

"cheers!"

At this moment, these people still don't know that Linton has no plan to recruit any mercenary group at all this time.

Although the empire is not short of money at all, but Linton had a bad impression of the mercenary group. In his opinion, there are more soldiers than many, and he doesn't like the wild way of doing things for the benefit of the mercenary group.

You see, Linton used them before, not to let them go to war, but to let them arrest the family members of criminals, right? In his opinion, this group of people is a mercenary regiment to put it mildly, but they can't really get on the stage. It's okay to maintain law and order in the territory, sweeping bandits and the like.

Of course, this is actually Linton's prejudice. The situation of the mercenary group in the middle and lower levels of the pyramid is indeed similar to what Linton thought. However, some powerful mercenary regiments at the top of the pyramid are actually as powerful as the regular army of the Empire. If Linton can see those mercenary regiments, you won’t be able to tell whether they are regular troops or mercenaries. group.

Of course, Linton is very obedient to his own prejudices, and he doesn't bother to understand these things at all. Even if you know the most, it will be "oh".

At this moment, Linton was listening to the chatter of Prime Minister Taillard.

Yes, Tai Lard came back to work, and one by one of his colleagues who just came back saw him as if they saw a ghost. "You are still alive" expression on his face.

Taillard easily understood the expressions of these people, and did not feel any surprises. He himself felt that he was walking around the edge of hell.

It's not that his illness is so serious, he has been lying down for several days, but the doctor's examination result shows that he is still healthy, but he is suffering from fatigue.

What stands out here is the word "worry". He was really drawn by Linton in anger.

Originally, he didn't wake up so quickly, but Yalan, the virtuous wife here, sent someone to find Taillard and told him to come back to work quickly, otherwise Linton would go to your house and take you away.

Yalan didn't say that the purpose of Linton's bagging him was to pull him back to work immediately. He declared war with more than 20 countries at the same time. Linton was very happy to declare it, but it is impossible to ignore it after declaring it. . With so many things to do, Linton will of course want to come back to work on Teradella.

So he was ready to hack Tyrade again. Fortunately, Yalan sent someone to inform Taillard in advance, and Taillard came back in a hurry before he recovered from his illness.

Does he dare not come back? He didn't know that Linton was quite satisfied with the efficiency of his work. He only knew that if Linton wanted to win the minister, he would definitely do it directly. Fortunately, the relationship between myself and the former queen Yalan is not bad, and the other party notified him privately, otherwise I would definitely die on the hospital bed.

But coming back is coming back, seeing the current situation, Taillard almost smoked again. Linton said that the announcement was really complete, and now he is a little thankful that the preparations for the enthronement ceremony were in a hurry, and the number of national missions that came was not so complete. Otherwise, it is estimated that Linton can really declare the whole continent.

"Your Majesty, this... now... how can we have so many troops?" Taillard dared not object, so he could only ask from the side.

"It's okay, come, let me take a look, I have prepared a secret gift for everyone." Linton naturally thought of a way, and waved directly.
