Chapter 724 725. Recruitment
The prisoner of war concentration camp on the south bank of the Tolai River in the city of plateau currently holds 25,000 plateau headhunter prisoners of war, and as Captain Herrick advances to the northern ice field, headhunters The number of prisoners of war is still increasing.
The first magic airship to transport 800 gray dwarf prisoners of war did not attract the attention of the elves in Plateau City, but within half a day, ten more magic airships arrived in Plateau City.
The gray dwarves who got off the magic airship formed a long queue in the city, walking along the bluestone-paved avenue towards the prisoner of war concentration camp.
In the plateau city, it is rare to see eleven magic airships arriving at the airport terminal in one day.
When the magic airship continued to dock at the only platform of the airport terminal, the elves in the city finally realized that there were too many gray dwarf prisoners of war coming to the plateau city...
The team lined up from the prisoner of war concentration camp by the river. Arrive at the airport terminal.
The mixed-blood elf women gathered by the pool and looked at the gray dwarf prisoners of war walking along the street. In the past, there were only dozens or hundreds of gray dwarf prisoners of war in the plateau city. This time, the whole street was lined up. Snake array.
A mixed-blood elf woman approached the mixed-blood elf guard guarding the street and asked him: "Angelas, why are there so many gray dwarves in the city?"
The mixed-blood elf guard turned his head and glanced at the mixed-blood elf woman, and immediately recognized the mixed-blood elf woman as his landlady. She had a two-story building in Plateau City, and almost all the tenants in the building were from A mixed elf from Padstow City.
The mixed-blood elf guard replied:
“Mrs. Angina, I heard that these gray dwarf prisoners of war were captured by Boss Roy from the battlefield of the Queen Igwene Islands, and are now being sent to various mines for us to mine. Mine."
"Let the gray dwarves go mining. What will the mixed-blood elves do in the mine? There are many mixed-blood elves now making a living in the mine."
The mixed-blood elf woman named Jaina asked immediately.
Both of her lovers work as miners in plateau mines. As a master of time management, it can only be said that Mrs. Gianna's time schedule is not full.
"I don't know about this, Mrs. Gianna, I am the city guard of the Plateau City."
Angelas replied, and then he seemed to have remembered something, and then said:
“I heard that Mulin was in power The official is recruiting mixed-blood elf guards in the city again. The recruitment point is in the square in front of the city hall. "Is it the mine guard group or the city defense group of the plateau city?" Jaina. Madam asked, rolling her eyes.
This young mixed-blood elf is too honest. The few hints that Lady Jaina gave him before were ignored by him. Then Lady Jaina’s favorability towards him plummeted. The two of them were destined not to be together. of.
"Um...is there any difference?"
"Of course! There is still a big difference!"
Mrs. Gianna's voice will become shrill and shrill if she speaks a little faster. It's thin, but I have to say her voice is sexy.
"The Mine Guard Corps is the army directly under Boss Roy. They can follow Boss Roy everywhere. The City Guard Corps can only stand guard in the city. What future does this have!"
said After saying this, Mrs. Gianna turned around and returned to the group of women next to the fountain at the corner of the street.
Angias seemed to have been stabbed in the back, standing stupidly on the street, thinking:
'Should I also apply to the leader to join Boss Roy's mine guards? Regiment, and also followed Boss Roy to fight everywhere. ’
After this idea came into his mind, it was like grass growing and he wanted to go directly to the City Hall Square to sign up.
When Mrs. Jaina returned to the group of women, a group of elven women also began to have a heated discussion.
……
The red-bearded gray dwarf arrived at the Plateau City on the fifth magic airship. He looked down at the Plateau City below. The Plateau City standing next to the river looked very small. On the contrary, the wilderness to the south of the Plateau City was very vast. Running on the vast wilderness or tens of thousands of one-horned bison.
The surrounding mountains extend in all directions, and you can even see white snow on the top of the mountain.
Leave the tropical rainforest and come to the plateau. This is the environment that the gray dwarves prefer, especially the mountains and snow.
The gray dwarf prisoners of war discussed in low voices where this plane was. Everyone leaned against the side of the ship and stared at the vast land beneath their feet with wide eyes.
During the past few days as prisoners of war, the gray dwarves did not seem to be treated harshly by the elves except for eating sour green apples every day.
Therefore, the mood of the gray dwarf prisoners of war was relatively stable. After everyone experienced the failure of the naval battle on the Queen Egwene Islands, their morale dropped to the lowest point, and no gray dwarf prisoners of war tried to escape from the prisoner of war camp.
Some gray dwarves tried to try, but were dissuaded by other gray dwarves, because this would only kill other companions who were traveling with them.
The life span of gray dwarves is very long, and no one wants to die. And the most important thing is that there is no death penalty in the elf world, as long as you don't try to die...
On the magic airship, a mixed-blood elf The captain stood on the platform at the top of the ship building. He held the railing with both hands and shouted loudly to the gray dwarf prisoners on the deck:
"Dear guests from foreign lands, welcome to Pagisto "As the captain of Magic Airship No. 7, a mixed-blood elf from the Pagisto Plateau, please allow me to introduce this beautiful plateau to you." "This is the Pagisto Plateau in the Partington plane, which you are about to arrive." The destination is a beautiful plateau city with rich mineral resources, so most of you will be sent to various mines to participate in ore mining. ”
"I know you are used to this kind of life."
Before the captain finished speaking, he heard a gray dwarf prisoner on the deck shouting:
"Short People only like mining, we are gray dwarves, we are born to be robbers..."
Before the gray dwarf prisoner could finish his words, he was knocked unconscious by a gray dwarf behind him with his fist, and the deck suddenly became violent. Quiet again.
At this moment, the magic airship has broken through the clouds and is falling slowly.
“What I want to say here is that when you arrive in the plateau city, there will be a census. This is not to know your detailed information, but we lack some craftsmen who are good at forging here. , I know that some of you must be good at this, and I hope that you can take the initiative to stand up and show us your abilities."
"Only by becoming a forging craftsman in our smelting workshop will you know how to live in Pa. Gistoga How comfortable will it be?”
“First of all, our forging workshop will provide rum to the forging craftsmen every week, and occasionally ale, because Boss Roy likes to drink ale. Of course, you want to. If you want to taste pre-dinner drinks like cider or orange wine, you can drink them almost every day as long as you work hard."
"Of course, you need to be a forging craftsman to be able to drink freely."
"In addition, the forging craftsmen have clean dormitories. They can bathe and comb their beards every day. They will earn certain points for every day's work. When you accumulate one hundred points, you can exchange them for a day's rest. During this time, you are free and can ask for help from the smelters. The workshop applies to go to the plateau city, or go hunting in the wilderness.”
“Of course, the daily points can also be exchanged for other things, such as exquisite wine bottles, pipes, and wear-resistant and sturdy miners. boots, warm fur Blankets or corbels.”
“Although these benefits are also available in the mine, the types of rewards are far less than those in the forging workshop, so I hope that dwarves with blacksmithing skills will actively sign up.”
“ Okay, magic flies The boat is about to arrive at the beautiful and rich plateau city. I wish you all a relaxed and good mood in the coming days.”
The mixed-blood elf put his hand on his chest and faced Gray gracefully. The dwarf prisoners of war saluted.
All the sails on the magic airship were lowered, and the propulsion device at the tail was turned on. The magic airship adjusted its position in mid-air and began to approach the only airport terminal in the plateau city.
In the city below, gray dwarf prisoners of war were moving in long lines towards the prisoner of war concentration camp by the river.
......
Roy and Mu Lin stood on the terrace in front of the city hall, from where they could have a bird's eye view of the entire plateau city.
In the square of the city hall, a large number of young mixed-race elves are queuing up, waiting for the registration of the elves working in the Soldier Recruitment Office. The waiting line stretches from the square to the other side of the street.
This is completely different from the empty situation in Padstow City's recruiting office.
Mu Lin said to Roy with some envy:
"After all, it is the mine guard group that has a great reputation. So many mixed elves gathered in half a day. I formed the mine guard group before. At that time, it took nearly half a month of recruitment to barely scrape together a team of "
Roy looked at Mu Lin's unconvinced look and said to Mu Lin with a smile:
"I think it may be the elves in Plateau City. The surge in numbers makes it easy to recruit new soldiers in the plateau city.”
Mu Lin frowned, and there was a trace of playfulness on her plain face.
“In the past, mixed-blood elves could not build an army. Although there were Silver Moon elves guarding warriors in the Partington plane, they did not protect the mixed-blood elves. When we first arrived in Partington, we felt that we were there. They were all the same. After discussing it, we walked along Padstow Forest. We walked south until we encountered the Griffin Barrier Mountains and saw the mountains rising into the clouds. Then we walked west through the hilly areas to Pagisto.”
It must have been a difficult journey. During the years, when Mu Lin talked about these things, there was some sadness in her eyes.
"It was a hard life, wasn't it?"
"Well, my mother died on the way."
Mulin was a little depressed, then she secretly wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes and continued:
"Now that we can form an army on the Partington plane, it is a big change for the mixed elves, at least Let us live a better life on the Pagisto Plateau."
Maybe it was because she had been a consul for too long, she pursed her lips and tried to calm down her emotions as soon as possible.
When standing next to Roy, she would straighten her waist as much as possible...
The eyes looking into the distance were also full of longing for the future.
