Monarch of Evernight: Contract 109

bsp;The lieutenant colonel was immediately overjoyed and said hurriedly: "If you are willing to go, I can guarantee that the Li family will give you an extra remuneration to ensure your satisfaction. In addition, the daily treatment and supplies can also be compared with Lieutenant General executes!”

"Lieutenant General?" Qianye laughed and said, "You really pay enough attention to me. I am only a brigadier general now."

Having said this, Qianye already vaguely understood that this lieutenant colonel was ordered to make a statement here, and he probably had a list of key people in his hand, that is, the free and powerful people Jingtang Li wanted to recruit. The rank of lieutenant general, regardless of actual or actual duties, must reach the minimum level fourteen, and Qianye's current force level is only level ten, so the treatment offered by the Li family can be regarded as a face-saving treatment.

After hearing this, the lieutenant colonel said immediately: "Who doesn't know about grades? Sometimes you can't count at all. Only those idiots from the Song clan will be paid according to grades."

"But the Song Clan's war zone is really good." Qianye looked at the map and asked, "Where are the dark races now?"

"According to the latest intelligence, they may appear anywhere. The fleet battle in outer space has been won, but" at this point, the lieutenant colonel hesitated and continued: "But the losses of the imperial fleet were also very heavy. It can only be said to be a tragic victory. As far as I know, the imperial fleet is currently unable to block outer space. It can only protect our follow-up landing fleet and harass the enemy landing fleet and weaken them as much as possible before landing. However, that is. That’s it.”

Qianye nodded. This result was within expectations and even better than most people expected.

After all, the overall strength of the Empire's floating fleet is said to be stronger than that of Yongye, but the advantage is not obvious. Even if there is an advantage in battlefield distance, it is only a slight advantage. Now that the Evernight Council has reacted, yesterday's fierce battle in outer space just opened the curtain of the war, and subsequent armies will continue to come.

"Now that the war has begun, what is your decision?" the lieutenant colonel asked cautiously.

Qianye pondered for a moment and said, "What extra can the Li family give me?"

The lieutenant colonel was immediately overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Please wait a moment! I will go to the family elder immediately and he will talk to you in detail in person."

Qianye narrowed his eyes when he heard this. It turned out that this lieutenant colonel was from the Jingtang Li clan. The lieutenant colonel, who had already turned around and walked to the tent door, suddenly shrank his neck and felt a wisp of cold air passing over the back of his neck. However, Qianye would not pursue anything at this time. He sat down on the chair and waited quietly while reading the latest battle reports.

Not long after, a gray-haired brigadier general walked into the camp, saluted Qianye, and said: "My Excellency, Li Yanshou, is unworthy of being the elder of the Li family. I also serve in the Imperial Munitions Headquarters. General Qianye is young. Youwei is already famous. If you are willing to hunt in the misty forest, it will be a blessing for our Li family."

Qianye smiled faintly and said: "The misty forest is not a good place. It is more suitable for dark races."

Li Yanshou said calmly: "It is true, so our Li family has shown enough sincerity this time. In addition to the general reward for everyone, we will also provide you with a monthly reward of two thousand gold coins per month. Or materials of equivalent value.”

This is similar to the conditions offered by the Song Dynasty. The purpose is to attract strong men stationed in the war zone. Looking at this price alone, the Jingtang Li family indeed treats Qianye as a strong man three levels higher. Can be picky. Just thinking about the relationship between Zhao clan and Li family, Qianye always has a lingering subtle feeling in his heart.

Perhaps his thoughts were brought out on his face, Li Yanshou added: "In addition, every time you accumulate military merits of a marquis, you will also receive additional military merits equivalent to an earl. Finally, I, Li Some of our unique potions and equipment are not usually open to the public, but if you have any needs, you can definitely put them forward. I think there should be nothing that is non-negotiable except for that thing."

Qianye smiled slightly and asked: "Where is the 'Mirror Water Purifier'?"

Li Yanshou’s eyebrows twitched, he paused for a while, and then said: “That’s what I’m talking about. However, if you really want it, then it’s not impossible to talk about it if you have accumulated more than a marquis military merit.”

Qianye nodded. If Li Yanshou fully agreed, it would inevitably make people suspicious. Hesitation would only increase his credibility. "I'm afraid you won't be able to earn much under these conditions, right?"

Li Yanshou stroked his beard and smiled, saying: "As long as we hold on to the misty forest, our Li family will make money. This small benefit in front of us is nothing at all. You also know that after the war, when the merits were divided, The territory of each family on the floating continent will be determined based on their military achievements. This is a real expansion of territory."

Qianye smiled and said: "In that case, I also have a condition."

Li Yanshou showed a cautious expression and listened carefully.

"Half of my military merits in the misty forest, including the Li family's rewards, must be paid in the form of imperial military merits and recorded in my personal name. They cannot be declared in the name of the Li family."

The smile on Li Yanshou's face suddenly disappeared. He stared at Qianye and said word by word: "General Qianye, if these military achievements cannot be placed in the name of the Li family, it will mean that the Li family's post-war achievements You will suffer a lot in the assessment, which is very detrimental to the division of territory."

Qianye had no intention of giving in, and said calmly: "Securing the misty forest is the greatest achievement, and everything else is unimportant."

Li Yanshou stared at Qianye, and Qianye stared back without giving in.

After a stalemate for a moment, Li Yanshou said: "I respect the Li family of Tang Dynasty, who is not a short-sighted and dishonest person. No matter what your background is, as long as you join our war zone, you will be respected by the elders of the family. Even if the military merits are recorded in the Li family All the benefits will belong to you, so you don’t have to worry. If we don’t have this credibility, how can our Li family gain a foothold in the empire?”

Qianye looked calm and did not pretend not to understand what Li Yanshou meant. He just smiled and said: "If I accept the monthly remuneration provided by the Li family, of course I will not leave your war zone without reason."

Li Yanshou twitched the muscles on his cheek unnaturally, and finally said after a long while: "You can only record the part you gained in your name, otherwise we will lose too much in terms of military merit."

Qianye said calmly: "Then when you accumulate a marquis military merit, let's add the additional earl military merit as a gift."

Li Yanshou was silent for a while and said: "General Qianye, my Li family has made such a concession, you must show some sincerity, right?"

Qianye said: "This is what it should be. I can promise that in the misty forest, I will at least achieve military success equivalent to that of a marquis."

Li Yanshou's expression changed slightly, and he paused before saying: "General Qianye is indeed well-deserved. Since you are so confident, what's the harm if I agree to these two conditions on behalf of the Li family?"

At this point, the two parties roughly reached an agreement, and the Lieutenant Colonel took out a contract a moment later and placed it in front of Qianye. It seemed that he was well prepared. Qianye read the terms carefully, then picked up the pen and signed his name on the contract.

Seeing Qianye signing the contract, Li Yanshou's expression returned to normal, and he slowly showed pleasure. He immediately took out an additional amount of ammunition and gave it to Qianye, which was regarded as prepaid resources. This time it was not the standard ammunition, but actual magic-breaking mithril bullets, with thirty rounds in total, to show that the Li family had indeed given Qianye resources equivalent to the elder Ke Qing.

Next, the two sides agreed on some details. The war was not particularly urgent at the moment. Qianye was going to rest for a day or two to adjust his condition to the best before taking the Li family's floating battleship to the misty forest war zone.

After the talks between the two parties were completed, Qianye returned to his camp. He still had some doubts about the Li family's unusual hospitality, but he didn't get too entangled. The Misty Forest was the war zone he had chosen for himself long ago, and this contract was to maximize the benefits. As for whether there is anything else, what is supposed to come will always come.

The scenery on the Void Floating Continent is completely different from that of Eternal Night. The climate here is very similar to the mainland of the empire, but slightly colder. But looking out from here, the sky is also exceptionally clear. The sun in the sky spreads bright light across the floating land, bringing life to every corner.

After the will of the giant beast disappeared, the floating land seemed to be particularly bright.

Qianye had no intention of admiring the beautiful scenery and focused on practicing in the tent. Before the war, every increase in strength is important.

However, just after noon, a clear bell rang outside the camp, which shocked Qianye's energy and blood, and he retreated from his cultivation state.

Standing outside the camp was a major from the Li family. As soon as he saw Qianye, he said anxiously: "Just an hour ago, the dark race raided the misty forest. The current battle situation and the enemy's combat strength are unclear. Please help. Go to the advance base immediately, and if necessary, please consider joining the battle."

Qianye had been prepared a long time ago and did not shirk at this moment. He picked up his luggage and followed the major to the aerospace ship.

On the way, Qianye saw many aerospace ships taking off in an emergency, flying in all directions.

The major noticed Qianye's gaze and explained: "The dark race made more than one raid this time. Landing ships landed in almost seven theaters. In addition, reinforcements should have arrived at the forward base they control."

"Where is our floating fleet?"

"We are still fighting the Yongye Fleet in the void, and we don't know how the battle is going."

In fact, just from the fact that the troops of the dark race began to land on the Void Floating Continent in large numbers, it can be seen that the recent air battle did not go very smoothly for the Empire.

The aerospace ship was not far away. Qianye quickened his pace and quickly boarded the gangway. There were already five or six people sitting in this high-speed floating ship. Qianye glanced at them and could tell from their clothes that they were all strong men recruited by the Li family just like Qianye.

When Qianye appeared at the cabin door, several eyes fell on him at the same time, including inquiries, observations, provocations and demonstrations, and one even had a hint of murderous intent.

Qianye frowned slightly and looked back unceremoniously, seeing a thin man with a cold face sitting in the corner of the cabin. He was wearing a field combat uniform with a camouflage effect, but it had no military rank or the markings of the regiment to which he belonged.

The man had an ordinary appearance, but the most striking thing was his eyes, which were like snakes, with weird vertical pupils. Seeing Qianye looking over, he grinned and spat out a silent curse word at Qianye.

Qianye's face turned cold, and his eyes immediately turned a deep blue. Under the real vision, the snake-like man's force fluctuations were invisible, and they were all clearly displayed. His level is as high as level 13, which is equivalent to the powerful count of the Yongye camp. No wonder he is so arrogant.

But Qianye did not have this face in his memory, and it was not clear where his hostility towards him came from.
