“Draft 8 thousand people as soldiers.”
He conscripted a total of 8 thousand soldiers.
Forced conscription of soldiers raised dissatisfaction amongst young people. It would also lower the morale of the soldiers that are drafted. 10 gold was consumed per drafted unit. There was also a monthly salary of 3 gold.
“Huuk huuk.”
Weed had to rest from shortness of break. Breathing became difficult from the high levels of pain and suffering.
“Now, I’m out of money.”
It cost a lot to upkeep soldiers. Each soldier costs 3 gold to upkeep and a wizard’s salary was at least 600 gold. To arm four horsemen cost 3000 gold. Intermediate level cavalry cost 10 thousand gold apiece. The military camp cost him 70 thousand gold and the draft cost him 80 thousand! He had to give money to hire soldiers otherwise the people’s complaints would rise. This cost 100 gold per household for each soldier. It was not easy to raise so much money. Knights required horses and they needed to train soldiers to be loyal to their lords. With an increase of soldiers and knights, the lord had access to greater power and influence. However Weed could only think of the costs.
“My lord has asked to recruit soldiers.”
“Come and join. Protect Morata with your own hands!”
In the Intervention Mode, he could observe the situation of sturdy young men running up to the camps to provide their services. The loyalty of the people was considerably higher than normal and the draft period ended quickly. But Weed still did not expect very much. Even with proper training, they did not have enough time to train and were only there to increase the headcount. These soldiers would drop very quickly in the war. Of course if the commander was excellent, then the deployment could alter the fight in their favor but that was different since 8 thousand soldiers was not much. However more additional unexpected situations occurred.
Peroyi armored infantry, a total of 160 residents, have come as support.
There are 197 archers in the town that offer their bows. Do you wish to enlist them?
In Morata there are 451 Hunters that have heard about the danger and wish to help.
People began to volunteer in large scales at the military camps for a total of 2680 people!
It was like exploiting human resources.
As if he wanted to eat chicken and the chicken has shown up in front of him already plucked, seasoned and holding a lighter!
“Nevertheless, their lives will not be in vain.”
Weed gladly accepted them all.
“All of them are Morata’s authorized soldiers.”
Morata’s soldiers have increased by a total of 10,680.
Average leveclass="underline" 17
Training: 12%
There is some difference between the new soldiers based on their experience of combat experience.
The recruits that were assembled were just like a house that has nastily cut corners like the windows were made out of leather clothing. They had better training than the other villages but their behavior was different. Morata had lower morale, training, levels, and weapons in all areas. The Protection of Freya over Morata ends in 36 days!
“Where do these soldiers’s hearts lie…”
He still had some time left, but Weed could not be relieved yet.
The other guilds had many high level users.
Even after recruiting, the soldiers were no different than scarecrows.
They could be picked off by arrows over devastated from an enemy magic attack. Without the Order of Freya, the number of soldiers, weapons, and armor were not reassuring.
“Call Death Knight Van Hawk!”
The Death Knight appeared in black smoke as he summon.
“I answer the master’s call.”
“I need you to go get your hoobaes (juniors)”
“Hoobae?”
“Kolderim. Go to Kolderim and use all of my contributions to bring the Kallamore Knights here.”
The kingdom of Kallamore had the best knights and they were known as invincible in the battle against the Kingdom of Haven. In the end, he got 23 thousand contribution from saving Kolderim in the Kingdom of Vampires.
“With Kolderim here, then the soldiers will grow a little faster.”
In effect, it was killing two brids with one stone by having Kolderim here.
“Take Wah-2 with you.”
“I will leave immediately.”
While Weed was in intervention mode, aside from building more buildings, he set up a new position in the castle.
“To take care of the department of taxes and financy, Geumini will represent the agency on his behalf…”
He could think of no other than the expensive life sculpture Geumini.
Wah-1 was the Deputy tax officer, Wah-2 was the tax collector, Wah-3 was the Bureau, Wah-4 was the Secret Service, Wah-5 was the special Tax Bureau.
“Bingryong will be the Minister of War. Phoenix will cooperate and be the deputy minsters of war.”
Rover was appointed to the department of Commerce. He appointed himself to the Agency of City Beautification. It was not an option to distribute the power.
He kept all the key positions in Morata to himself.
Morata had exceptionally small guilds.
It was rare for beginners to rent a shack, much less start a guild office.
Morata’s dawn!
There were many wandering the streets. In the distance, the light tower sprinkled the moonlight faintly. Morata at dawn was more beautiful than it was during the day.
“Soreuban, are we almost there?”
“Yes Huteo, it’s just up ahead.”
They were a novices that were wearing rabbit leather armor. It was made from sewing together a bunch of different pieces. Morata had the advantage that armor made from sewing skills was very good for low level users. Clothes that were sewn by craftmen were usually expensive so it was probably used.
“No one’s following us right?”
They stopped with an uneasy feeling of being robbed.
“Stop turning around to look. Even if we don’t check, they will.”
“What do you mean?”
“Look at the shack.”
The roughly built shacks had their windows open.
Within the windows was the glint of sharp eyes!
They would catch anyone that was following secretly.
The Soreuban said to the other in a whisper.
“Do not say anything of what goes on today outside of this place. One wrong word and then for me and you…we will be done for in Morata.”
Gulp.
Huteo swallowed his saliva from the tension of the meaning of those words.
“Of course, you said that you will never talk about the meeting or the place?”
“Yea, if we said it then it will spread and we won’t be able to get into parties or hunting quests.”
“You have to be careful of what you say in Morata.”
“Not only in Morata. Their power is becoming more and more widespread. It might as well be in all of the Northern part of the Continent of Versailles. In the worst case scenario then we may need to quit Royal Road!”
To be robbed of the charm of playing Royal Road.
Most people played Royal Road at least once a day. As newcomers they did not have the benefit of starting over.
“It’s such a powerful group. That the…”
“Shh, this is not the place where you can speak that name freely.”
“Oops.”
Huteo was urgently made silent.
Soon the two of them reached their destination without a word.
The destination was on top on a hill on a dense field of shacks.
Even though it was plain, there was in fact a basement that opened up to an incredibly wide area.
Hidden dungeon!
This Morata’s shack was originally a dungeon.
It was a large dungeon and with the contributions of a particular group that hunted down the monsters within.
