Monarch of Evernight: 108 Lobbying

bsp;The lieutenant colonel nodded, then picked up two backpacks, one large and one small, placed them on the workbench, and said: "You chose to hunt freely, so according to the arrangement of the Imperial Military Department, these are the equipment The supplies are given to you and have been adjusted according to your requirements. In addition to the necessary food, drinking water and standard ammunition, it also includes two base numbers of 20 rounds of sniper ammunition and 50 rounds of short/gun general purpose ammunition. . By the way, these ammunition contain mithril, but the amount is not that much, so don’t expect too much from them when dealing with the big guys on Yongye’s side.”

Qianye nodded to express understanding.

The lieutenant colonel pointed to the small package again and said: "Here are medicines, maps, and stimulants. They are all standard equipment and are provided free of charge. If you need better quality or more quantity, , you can also apply, we still have enough supplies here, of course, you need to pay extra."

Next, the lieutenant colonel told Qianye some basic information.

After the empire destroyed the void passage in the Sleep of Behemoths in the Evernight Continent, the advance troops that had long been hidden in the surrounding void landed directly, catching the Evernight Council by surprise, and the originally established base also suffered a near-destructive blow.

In a short period of time, the empire took the lead and now has bases in six of the seven war zones. The dark race hurriedly mobilized duke-level combat forces to save the remnants of the base and control the war zone. However, the location was not very good and was surrounded by the three war zones of the empire.

In the process of free hunting for Qianye, it is best to leave kill certificates, but it doesn’t matter if you can’t take care of these when the battle is fierce, because the empire will use the casualties reported by the spies on Yongye’s side. to verify the military exploits. These are the rules that veterans are well aware of, and Qianye also knows them.

In addition, as a strong person participating in free hunting, Qianye can move freely in various theaters and can return to the forward base to rest and resupply at any time. However, all supplements will be charged at that time, and they can also be exchanged for military merit.

Qianye listened patiently and was about to leave when the lieutenant colonel suddenly lowered his voice and said softly: "General Qianye, I wonder if you are interested in participating in the battle in a specific theater?"

Qianye heard something in his words and immediately asked calmly: "I don't quite understand. Apart from terrain issues, are there any differences between the various war zones?"

The lieutenant colonel put a smile on his face and said: "Of course there is a difference, and the difference is big. You know, those who have the courage to choose to hunt freely are the real strong ones. Now many powerful people are responsible for a war zone alone. The strong men who are willing to operate in their own war zone have set special conditions, including the imperial family."

This is actually equivalent to an additional reward. This is the first time Qianye learned that this kind of opportunity would also exist in regular wars, and he became slightly interested. "Who are they and what are the conditions?"

Seeing his interest, the lieutenant colonel immediately cheered up and said, "It's not convenient to talk here. General Qianye, please come with me. Let's change the place and talk in detail."

Qianye nodded and followed the lieutenant colonel out of the camp to a secluded independent tent not far away. The lieutenant colonel took out a notepad, turned to one of the pages, and said: "At present, the conditions offered are the Imperial Family, the Bai Clan, the Song Clan and the Li Family, involving a total of five war zones."

"Li family?"

The lieutenant colonel pointed upward, but lowered his voice and said, "This is the Jingtang Li family from which Empress Li is born. They spent a lot of money this time."

Qianye raised his eyebrows and said, "Really? Let's talk about it?"

The lieutenant colonel said: "This time the Li family united with several aristocratic families to capture the most dangerous misty forest. And among the conditions offered to you, the Li family is also the best. Hunting in the Li family war zone As long as the military merits obtained are confirmed, additional materials equivalent to the same military merits will be given. In addition, if the confirmed military merits reach the earl level, the Li family will give an additional earl level material."

Hearing this, Qianye couldn't help but feel a little moved. In other words, if you hunt an earl in the misty forest, you can get a reward equivalent to three earls. This is indeed a big deal, and it should appeal to many people. It's just that although the rewards are heavy, the risks are also great. The foggy forest is a place that almost every strong person hates. The fog that blocks perception is really disgusting.

Qianye looked calm and asked: "What are the conditions of other companies?"

The lieutenant colonel has been secretly observing Qianye and was a little disappointed when he saw that his face was calm. However, he still cheered up and said: "Actually, the conditions of other companies are pretty good. For example, the Song Clan, in addition to providing double military merit rewards, can also receive a fixed subsidy every month, and the amount depends on one's strength. Depends on the level.”

The war zone where the Song clan is located is the Wangyue Plain, which is half plain and half highland mountainous area. It can be said to be quite satisfactory, and the environment is much better than the misty forest. The most attractive thing about the Song clan is the fixed monthly subsidy. Even if you do nothing and just stay on the battlefield, you can still receive a sum of money. This is very attractive to many strong people who cherish their lives.

At the beginning, Qianye felt that the decision-makers of the Song clan were a little unprogressive. But if you think about it carefully, as long as you attract enough strong people, even if they do nothing, it will still be a deterrent. What's more, once the dark race enters the Moon Watching Plain, these strong men will still go out to fight. Otherwise, what would they do in the floating land battlefield?

In this way, as long as the Wangyue Plain can be defended, according to the agreement, the Song clan can carve out a large territory in this plain. Although the terrain of Wangyue Plain is not conducive to defense, there are advantages and disadvantages to everything. The flat terrain will be much easier to develop in the future.

Thinking of this, Qianye couldn't help but shook his head secretly, feeling that the Song clan was rich. It's just that relying on money to attract strong people is not a long-term solution. At least the Song clan's own strong people will be suppressed invisibly, and the children of the clan will gradually lose their bloodthirst.

The lieutenant colonel continued to introduce that the conditions provided by each company are similar. Among them, White Valve is also matched with twice the military merit. The difference is that White Valve can open a series of armors to choose from. The White Valve is well-known in the empire for manufacturing high-quality armor. Two of the three main silk gold producing areas in Da Qin are under the control of the White Valve. Therefore, the armor produced by White Valve, which is mainly made of silk-wrapped fine gold, has always been in short supply and cannot be bought with money alone.

The conditions provided by the imperial family are relatively simple, that is, doubling the military merit. However, this is the most difficult part, because this is a real military merit, which can be directly exchanged for materials in the imperial treasury. Only the imperial family can offer such conditions, and other families only provide materials equivalent to the same military merit.

Of course, if you are not eyeing some special equipment that is only available in the treasury, then there is actually no difference. The powerful people who choose to serve the imperial family do not value these resources the most, but their connections. Nowadays, His Majesty is under the influence of Lin Xitang and does not pay much attention to family background when promoting talents. Among the imperial guards such as the Thunder Cavalry Guard, there are also small side sects and even noble families from poor families. If you perform outstandingly and have enough merit, you may be recruited by a noble person, which is much more important than a special defection.

At this point, each family’s conditions have been put on the table. Qianye remained silent, weighing the situation repeatedly in his heart.

The lieutenant colonel has been observing Qianye's expression. He coughed and said, "General Qianye, if you don't mind, would you like to listen to my suggestion?"

Qianye looked up at the lieutenant colonel, smiled and said, "That's the best, please tell me." It seems that this person has been a lobbyist many times, and I don't know whose family he belongs to.

The lieutenant colonel thought about his words and then said: "General Qianye, I have heard about many of your achievements, which are really admirable. But from my point of view, they are all killing enemies for the country. , where is the battle still the same? Why not choose a place where you can get more resources? Only with resources can you go further in this war, just to survive. ”

"That's good. Which one do you recommend?"

The lieutenant colonel is obviously confident: "The misty forest is the best battlefield!"

Deep in Qianye’s eyes, a sharp light flashed away. Almost no one knows about his advantages in the misty forest, and the only one who knows it best is Nighteye. How did this lieutenant colonel know?

The lieutenant colonel seemed to feel Qianye’s murderous intention at that moment, and immediately shuddered, and hurriedly said: "General Qianye! I have no other intentions!"

Qianye looked at him quietly, waiting for the answer.

After just a moment, the lieutenant colonel was sweating profusely, soaking his uniform. He smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, yes, I am leaning towards the Li family and I have accepted their benefits. However, it is precisely because of our close contact and sitting in this position that I know that the Li family is the most sincere among them. . At least they made the biggest bet, so it’s impossible not to go all out.”

Qianye nodded secretly, in a place like the Misty Forest, not everyone could eat it. In fact, it would only be considered normal if the imperial family or the Zhang and Zhao clans claimed this war zone.

The lieutenant colonel felt the pressure was a little lighter, wiped his sweat, and said cautiously: "General Qianye, the misty forest is indeed dangerous, but if you think about it, the most dangerous place is also the safest place. I heard from my humble position, You are so good at using Dongyue that you are invincible in close combat. Isn’t this perfect in the foggy forest?”

Qianye smiled and said, "Invincible in close combat? You can say it. I don't want to hear this sentence again. But it seems that you are very attentive to me!"

The lieutenant colonel hurriedly laughed: "In this humble position, all you do is collect intelligence and sort out information. It's just part of your job."

His tone of voice at this moment was several times more humble than at the beginning, and he even changed his self-identification, which showed that he was quite frightened by Qianye. This lieutenant colonel was not simple, he actually sensed a hint of murderous intention in Qianye.

Qianye remained calm and said: "The most dangerous and safest place can only deceive newcomers on the battlefield. Sincerity is a good reason. Is there anything else?"
