C223 Recruitment



C223 Recruitment

Morcasso has been in a state of panic for the past few days.    

    

Half a month ago, a report came from the northeastern border. The Hailing Country had sent out 300 thousand troops to suppress the border.    

    

There was only a castle at the border called Divine Thunder Castle. It was the first and most important line of defense to defend the border. However, the castle only had less than a hundred thousand men and horses. Facing the three hundred thousand men of the tiger and wolf army, they felt a great pressure. They kept calling for reinforcements.    

    

As for the City of Kasos, it was the closest city to the border. If the castle at the border was broken, this would be the first place to be affected.    

    

In the past few days, the front line kept sending out notifications, calling for the young and strong men in the City of Morcasz to join the army. Help the guards. Recently, they had even sent a troop to forcefully show signs of being strong. No matter if it was the people in the city or the people outside, they had to obey the orders. They were going to Divine Thunder Castle to fight against the Hailing Country army.    

    

The war between Hailing Country and Lei Kesi had been going on for many years. Logically speaking, the northeastern border would not only have a small number of soldiers guarding it. It was because a few months ago, the Muya Country was bought over by the Hailing Country. They sent out an army to assist the Hailing Country, and the Hailing Country suddenly went crazy. They had invested a large amount of troops and resources to launch a full-scale attack. Together with the 1.5 million troops of the Muya Country, they attacked the eastern border of the Lei Kesi.    

    

The eastern border had a total of 500 thousand defending troops, but when faced with enemies that were three times their number, they could not help but feel a chill run down their spines. They had no chance of winning. The eastern border was in danger, so they called for reinforcements.    

    

The total number of troops in Lei Kesi and the reserve army was around 1.9 million. They mobilized troops to reinforce the eastern border. Originally, there were 200 thousand troops in Divine Thunder Castle, but because of this, half of them were sent to the eastern border to assist in the defense.    

    

With this, even the reserve army was sent into battle. It was only 1.2 million, and Lei Kesi started recruiting mercenaries from all over the country. With double the commission, the mercenaries from the country went to help and ordered the families to send reinforcements. Only then did they manage to stabilize the situation in the east with another 100,000 soldiers.    

    

The upper echelons of the Lei Kesi's military immediately recruited soldiers. They recruited another 200,000 new soldiers and began to train them to prevent any changes in the situation.    

    

However, no one had expected that the worry of the upper echelons of the military would come true. The army that was transferred from the Hailing Country actually had another 300,000 troops. They were pressing towards the northeast, and they did not look like new recruits at all. All of them were brave and fierce. They were the true army of tigers and wolves.    

    

There were nearly two months left until the training of the 200,000 new recruits was completed, and they were still unable to be sent to the battlefield. As for the other local legions, they were no longer able to provide any reinforcements, so the northeast was currently in danger, and they could only rely on themselves to protect themselves.    

    

"The military has issued an emergency recruitment notice: All registered mercenaries, except those who participated in the eastern defense army, will head to Divine Thunder Castle to participate in the defense. Pay twice the commission, and those above the Royal Level pay three times the commission. Those who are not mercenaries will be enlisted with three times the commission. King Level Expert and four times the commission, Royal Level Expert and five times the commission!    

    

As long as the mercenaries did not respond to the conscription, it would be considered treason and all family members would be killed! Those who make special contributions in the war will be rewarded with additional rewards, and they will be given titles according to their contributions!"    

    

On this day, this news quickly spread throughout the entire Lei Kesi, causing a huge sensation.    

    

The Lei Kesi military once again recruited mercenaries from all over the country, and this time, they adopted forceful measures. They stated rewards and punishments. Especially the last sentence that made all the mercenaries move, "giving titles to officials" meant that they could enter the government and have a legitimate industry. They didn't need to risk their lives, and they could even give titles to their wives and children.    

    

With such benefits ahead and the consequences of having all their family members killed, this recruitment order could not be disobeyed. All the mercenaries rushed to Divine Thunder Castle as if they had been injected with stimulants, ready to join the battle.    

    

Qin Feng had just returned to the City of Castles when he heard this news. He could not help but be speechless. There was still about three months before the domestic selection would be held, and such a thing actually happened. However, if the country was in trouble, he would not sit by and do nothing. Since he was currently being enlisted, as a mercenary, he would not run away. He resolutely went to Divine Thunder Castle.    

    

And from a certain point of view, war was also a way of training. The baptism of blood and fire might make him stronger. Not only in Cultivation Level, but also in mind and spirit.    

    

The distance between the Divine Thunder Castle and the City of Kasos was not far. It only took half a day for Qin Feng to reach the city gate of Divine Thunder Castle.    

    

There were continuous mountains on both sides of the northeastern border as a natural barrier. The Divine Thunder Castle only needed to send a small portion of its forces to guard the main passageway, in case the army bypassed it.    

    

Divine Thunder Castle was located between the mountains. It had a very large area, and from the looks of it, it could accommodate four hundred thousand people. The city walls were about 30 meters tall, and the walls were dark in color, giving off a trace of heaviness. Looking from afar, it looked like a giant beast entrenched in a huge mountain. The dark color made people's hearts heavy, and they couldn't help but feel afraid.    

    

There was a group of soldiers guarding the entrance. They were lined up on both sides of the city gate. They were in neat rows, mighty and majestic. They wore thick black armor, and their bodies were tightly wrapped within it. Even their helmets were wrapped in heavy armor, revealing only their astute and callous eyes. The unified black spear was held in their hands, and the tip of the spear was emitting a cold light. It made people tremble involuntarily.    

    

Compared to the two neat rows of soldiers, there were two long lines in front of the door. They were crooked and crooked, and they formed a line of dozens of feet from the door.    

    

These were mercenaries who rushed over from all over the country and some righteous warriors who had come to join the army. They needed to be registered and enter the city one by one. After that, they would be assigned to the army and join the battle sequence.    

    

Qin Feng looked at the two long lines and could not help but click his tongue. However, he could only line up at the back of the line like the others. Unless you were a Sixth Level Heaven Spirit King or above expert, you would be valued. If you were given special privileges, you could only line up and enter.    

    

The soldiers on both sides glanced at the rows of mercenaries from time to time, wanting to find out who was suspicious. To prevent spies from sneaking in. That cold gaze made one's heart tremble, as if a guilty conscience would be discovered. It was difficult to look straight into that pair of eyes. He could not help but panic and reveal his flaws.    

    

"Yi? A little child whose hair hasn't even fully grown?"    

    

Qin Feng's appearance attracted a lot of attention. After all, he wasn't even as tall as an adult, and his appearance also had a trace of immaturity. It was very easy to tell his age.    

    

"Little kid, what are you doing here? Don't you know that there is a war going on here?"    

    

"Hehe, where did this kid come from? He didn't run away from home, did he? Did he come here to serve the country?"    

    

Sounds of laughter rang out continuously. The originally tense atmosphere suddenly eased up a little.    

    

Qin Feng was at the back of the group, but there were no soldiers to manage this area. This caused the surrounding mercenaries to be unbridled. They pointed at Qin Feng and continuously mocked him.    

    

"Kid, go home and drink your milk. Your mother will be anxious if she can't find you."    

    

"Haha, yes. Go home and find your mother."    

    

There were also people who looked at Qin Feng with a strange light.    

    

"A young man is here to defend the border and the country? Truly respectable and regrettable!"    

    

"That's right, this young man is really brave. Coming here at such a young age, is he going to join the army? However, the situation of the battle isn't so urgent yet, right? He's still so young, so he won't accept it."    

    

"It's respectable and lamentable, but it's also lamentable. The country is in danger, so how many people will come to work without hesitation to defend the country?"    

    

Qin Feng is going to join the army. Please give us some encouragement. Thank you! ~
