20. The trivial daily life of Waterdeep City (Part 2)
Only...sizi...report to the chief "...today...sizi...list...price...sizi..."
"Hey, please repeat, can you speak louder? I can't hear any sound clearly!"
Holding the earpiece and microphone with countless mysterious symbols hollowed out, Feili pricked up her ears and listened carefully for a long time, and shouted at the microphone, but she could only find a few words that could barely distinguish between a noise. Their stable xing seems to be very unreliable, and it is normal for a failure to occur every few days...
In the end, he had no choice but to knock the microphone hard and roar with the maximum volume: "...Forget it! No need to read it anymore! Transfer the file directly! Did you hear it?"
Next was another noisy "sizzling" sound. After finally getting a positive response from the other side, Feili sighed and unplugged the telephone line, got up and pulled the printer for the advanced arcane, aimed at a thin layer of mitral plated, surrounded by magic symbols and Wenlu, and inserted it in, and then found another small hole and stuffed it into a magic ruby with sparkling light as the driving energy source.
After a while, the arcane printer began to emit a different "rolling" than before.
The sound of running spit out one official document form after another printed with ordinary ink and letter paper. At the same time, the ruby inserted on the surface of the machine gradually became dim.
Yes, phone, fax, printer... In addition to the very expensive price and use price of everything, and the low energy, it is basically the same as the working environment of white-collar workers in another world.
While thinking about this, Feili sat back into the leather chair with the stack of official documents, and raised the teacup and came to her chunk.
However, in the next moment, a sip of black tea spurted out of his mouth, followed by a violent cough.
Just...Puchi...Ahem, what messy things are written in front of this?!
Cough cough cough cough cough..."
1. Under many circumstances, in the offices of urban white-collar workers, there is often no beautiful, capable and coveted female secretary, but there is never a terrible boss who is furious and like a evil ghost in hell...
After a raucous dismissal and demobilization, the armed forces under Feili are now only about 4,500 soldiers, plus a chowder-style floating warship that is pieced together. If you only use such a little pitiful force, you want to be a big country with a population of 150 million and participate in a major operation to seize power, it is very unreliable no matter how you look at it.
Fortunately, in today's era of things, what can really drive the world to rotate is always money, money and more money.
As long as you have enough money in your pocket, there will definitely be no unsolvable trouble.
There happened to be some money in Feili's pockets. Once the money was successfully invaded and plundered the Eastern World, the public account of the Giant Bear Legion alone contained property worth 50 million gold coins, and the cash that could be used immediately exceeded 20 million.
What's even better is that because Feili is a candidate for the Magic Goddess, the money is equivalent to being hanged in the name of the Supreme Goddess of Magic Goddess Mistera, so no one dares to use it casually.
And in Feili's own small treasury, there is another large amount of si room money for emergency use!
Since you have money in your pocket and an official hat on your head, why worry about not being able to recruit warriors?
In addition, although Feili's position as "Chief of the Imperial Air Force" has no practical significance, his title of "Karatuus" (the conqueror of the Eastern Karatu Continent) and the legendary story of conquering the Xianglong Empire and the Japanese Islands are still very frightening in the local area.
Although he led a brigade to sweep the Eastern world alone, in the eyes of senior officials who know the inside story, there is probably not much value. The key factor for this guy to obtain this brilliant victory is not his own talent and wiseness, but the enemy's destruction and bad luck, but in the eyes of ordinary people who don't know the inside story, Marshal Ferry Taylor's legend conquering the East still looks extremely dazzling. Being able to venture under the command of such a legendary hero to create a new epic miracle is very moving.
What's more, the chic style of the veterans of the Giant Bear Grass Group spending a lot of money and squandering before leaving is also very enviable.
Moreover, Deepwater City is also a wonderful place to recruit soldiers and horses. As the largest and most developed bustling city in the north, it naturally gathers the largest number of unemployed vagrants.
Among them, many veterans who were forced to retire due to major disarmament after the end of the last mainland war. They left the army with medals and scars, and set foot on society with confidence. They originally wanted to enjoy a peaceful life, but found that they had no skills except for fighting and killing people. The economy has been in a downturn and they really can't find a decent job...
So, after using up all the money accumulated in the army, these poor veterans became miserable unemployed vagrants, wandering around because they could not afford the rent, living a miserable life without meals. They either lived in broken cardboard boxes on the street, or slept on park benches, ragged clothes, shivering with cold, and were driven away by the police and bodyguards, and they were ignored on the streets.
Seeing that his life in a peaceful era was so miserable, the retired veterans naturally missed the sufficient food, high salaries, free daily necessities and warm barracks in the army.
Therefore, after seeing the recruitment advertisement of the Giant Bear Legion, these poor veterans immediately flocked to each other and lined up in front of the recruitment office temporarily set up by the city hall, and soon attracted a large number of young, strong and experienced new forces. However, they also put forward more complex requirements for the logistics supply work of the Legion. They actually lost their jobs since the war and are now retired veterans, a large part of which are non-human...
"... Recently, a total of 220 Taurus Grenadiers with more than ten years of service experience have been recruited. For this reason, they must customize a batch of extra-large kus, a batch of boots suitable for the shape of cow hoofs, and military caps must also be specially customized, otherwise they will be pierced by the horns."
"..., In addition, after these tauren grenadiers received the first batch of supplies," they complained that the cigarettes distributed by the army were too thin and finally stuck in the gaps of their teeth and couldn't be pulled out.
The matches are too small to hold them at all. So I hope to order a batch of particularly thick, black and hard cigars for them, or convert this benefit into cash and send them to them so that they can buy tobacco and smoke their pipes..."
,”
The newly recruited centaur scout cavalry protested, claiming that they were both soldiers and mounts and could not accept the same treatment as ordinary cavalry.
In addition to the normal allowance for salary, the amount of war horse feed stipulated in the military regulations should be converted into cash and distributed to them..."
"...Former 4th Legion Major, intermediate necromancer Ms. Aluen," asked the Legion to pay additional salary for her twenty mummy guards to add antiseptic spices and replace flax shrouds in daily life, even if it is paid at one tenth of the normal soldiers' salary."
"...What kind of messy things are these? It's really a pity..."
After reading a few documents like this, Feili felt dizzy, weak limbs, and her eyelids drooped until she suddenly remembered something very bad, and then she suddenly woke up."
Oops! Mr. Winnie, the big bear, is now taking the initiative to ask for his orders. Stay in Ice Wind Valley and be responsible for recruiting soldiers! I hope he won’t recruit a large group of polar bears for me and come back!”
The reason why he suddenly had such concerns was not that the bears were foodies and could not fight. In fact, in the past actual combat in the Thirteen State Colonies of the New Neil Sèrel, the bears who put themselves in a wine barrel and relied on them and "rolled and crushed" to kill the enemy were far more outstanding than the human militia in the colonies, and could be called a living armored assault battalion.
But the problem is that the focus of the imperial civil war in the north and south is the new imperial city, Naisèrel, is in the middle of the desert!
Alas, if this unfortunate premonition really comes true... I can only hope that the white bears in Ice Wind Valley are born with strange things, possess the "self-fast hair removal talent" or have particularly developed heat dissipation ability, and can quickly adapt to the rapid climate and environmental changes from polar ice fields to hot deserts. Feili rolled her eyes secretly and muttered irresponsibly in her heart.
However, the psychological impact he was about to endure on this day was far from reaching the climax. After continuing to review a lot of messy content, which made people complain about the application and summary report, Feili met an old acquaintance who came to visit.
,”
Lieutenant General Daniel?! What wind has blown you too? I didn’t expect you to come back from the Far East, what’s wrong with me this time?”
Unlike Feili's face, Lieutenant General Daniel's face was sad and hesitated for a while before he hesitating...
"...To be honest, a new round of coup broke out in our country a few days ago. So..."
Before the other party could finish his words with a red face, Feili immediately "suddenly realized". First, he nodded understandingly, then reached out and patted the Golden Elf Royal General's shoulder.
He said in a gentle tone: "...Don't worry, don't worry, I understand. Since I'm embarrassed, I don't need to say more, take me over and take a look now!"
Since when he was stationed in Arctic Port, he joined forces with Daniel, the intermediary broker to resell a large number of elves and female political prisoners, a formula has been formed in Feili's mind: the coup of the elf coup is a big purge for the North to be sold as slaves. Although the elf beauty who is not short of money at the moment, it is good to be able to do a business. Even if it cannot be sold, it can still be used as a gift for bribing the powerful.
However, after changing into casual clothes and taking the guard out, and going to see these extraordinary and luxurious "goods" with Lieutenant General Daniel, Feili's entire body was full of magic.
, ""Your Excellency Daniel, your human trafficking business is getting higher and higher! You have sold and sold all the Queen of the Shepherd and the Princess of the First Heir of Yongju Island?!!! What price do you plan to sell them?"
When Queen Akdinat, who had already had a haggard face, had her eyes turned black and her body softened and staggered. Princess Alanita quickly grabbed her mother's back, turned her head and stared at Daniel and roared: "Lieutenant General Daniel!!! You are so cruel! You actually want to sell us to slave traders!!!"
"...Misunderstanding! These are all misunderstandings!!! We came to ask for political refuge..."
The poor Golden Elf Royal General Daniel faced the weird face of Fili Taylor and Princess Alanita, who was angry and furious, didn't know how to tell the difference for a moment. He really cried without tears...
,”
As the wheel of history slowly drove to modern times, the elves who once gave up the Feren continent in the Middle Ages and retreated to Yongju Island to accumulate strength. Although they are still famous for their elegance and art, they have gradually become an extremely bloodthirsty and cruel race.
Especially in the colonial era after the high development of maritime technology, the elves of Yongju Island completely abandoned their ancestors' kindness and virtues and began to organize an unprecedented large fleet to sail to sea, launching one continuous expedition after another. With their advanced magic and elite army, they plundered and killed everywhere, cruelly enslaved the indigenous people of the uncivilized areas, launched the infamous slave trade and the Spice Islands, and accumulated astronomical wealth on the Mazka continent and the Spice Islands.
Relying on these dirty wealth plundered from overseas, the Elf Kingdom of Yongju Island further expanded its military strength, and ambitiously re-strived its troops back to the Feren continent, launching a "Elf Invasion" that lasted for two hundred years, destroying many ancient countries one by one... In its heyday, from the Ser Plateau in the easternmost part of Feren to the westernmost part of the Steam Lake dwarf city-state, and even the vast territory on the southern bank of the Flying Star Sea were all covered under the green leaf military flag of the Elf Royal Court of Yongju Island..."
“…, however, all of this blood, hegemony, achievements and glory have become past tense.
The arrogant elves of Yongju Island got everything in the war and lost everything in the war.
The failure of the Second Continental War, the ceasing of Kalinshan, Taser and Arctic Port, was just a drop in the bucket for the elves that dominate the world and have a vast territory. However, the continuous internal strife and street fighting in Yongju Island made the elves shed blood in the killing of each other.
Next, "The Immortal Bird, Tekumse's unique army in the Mazka continent, and the stupid internal fighting of the elves on the battlefield not only led to the loss of the entire Mazka continent colony, but also ruined the lives of 500,000 troops and one million elves and expatriates, which almost broke the elves with only four million people. The brazen independence of 500,000 elves and expatriates in the Spice Islands destroyed the cohesion of the elves themselves.
Although the elves still have an invincible powerful fleet, even the Naserel Empire had to avoid their edge at sea, after losing the blood transfusion supply from many colonies, this expensive and majestic world's largest fleet could not get the expenses and supplies for sailing, and could not collect all the skilled sailors who could control ships in the end could only slowly decay and collapse in the port until they became waste.
When history reached the autumn of the year of the Old Stone, this former world overlord had almost reached the end of his journey. Not only the enslaved elves colonies raised their troops to independence, but the shortage of supplies on Yongju Island was better than that of one day, but the mentality of the elves themselves had undergone some subtle changes. They gradually lost their bloodthirsty and cruel fighting spirit, leaving only the weak and peaceful mind. The most brave elves were flying everywhere in the battlefield of gunfire, and the magic shot was killed. Most of the soft eggs who were afraid of bleeding mostly survived..." "......, and then, just when the elves on Yongju Island had given up militarism from their mentality and were satisfied with their small island country and no longer attempted to dominate the world, a final tragic cruel catastrophe quietly came on this disaster-stricken island."
