NOVEL NEXT Chapter 10 - Territory Army Established! Power Of Chicken Legs!
Immediately after, leveraging the prestige gained from this incident, Richard personally began recruiting for the army.
The sheriff was too conservative and didn’t understand Richard’s intentions, so it took him a day to recruit only three people.
Therefore, Richard had to take matters into his own hands!
“Each person will receive 300 copper coins per month, aged 18-40, and must be someone who has lived in the territory for generations. You will be the first core army!”
In the town square, Richard stated the conditions.
Suddenly, many young people were tempted.
In less than half an hour, Richard recruited more than thirty young and strong individuals.
After they learned that Richard was a noble mage, their attitude towards him changed completely compared to before.
Before, although Richard was a lord, they would at most greet him with a little respect when they met. But now, they looked at him with profound reverence.
“From today onwards, you five will be squad leaders, each leading a squad of ten people. You won’t have to do any labor or miscellaneous tasks anymore. Your food will be provided by me, and likewise, your families won’t have to pay taxes. You only need to focus on training and patrols.”
Richard promoted those who dealt with the snake to squad leaders and explained the rules step by step.
Upon hearing the benefits he proposed, everyone’s faces showed a bit of joy.
300 copper coins a month, with food provided, no need to do labor or miscellaneous tasks, and becoming part of the town’s army meant their families didn’t have to pay taxes anymore.
Such conditions were hard to find even if one searched with a lantern!
So, everyone made up their minds to follow Richard well!
【Amazing! The anchor finally has his own armed forces, congratulations!】
【Congratulations to the anchor for becoming the head of the military, taking the first step towards dominating the otherworld. Here’s a rocket for you.】
【Anchor, there are too few people, just over thirty. You should have at least a few thousand.】
【Come on, the lord’s territory probably doesn’t even have thousands of people. Besides, can you afford to pay so many people?】
[Cute Big-Eyed Bunny] sent a super rocket! Comment: My husband is so great!
[Richard’s New Fangirl] sent a super rocket! Comment: My husband is the best!
【These two big shots are at it again.】
【I hope there’s not a big brute behind the computer.】
[Confused Little Tree] sent 10 rockets! Comment: Anchor, get more people.
“Alright, training starts today.”
After explaining the rules, Richard said.
The thirty or so people all looked at him, wanting to know what the training would entail.
Richard said, “From here to the Kava River, run back and forth in the morning and afternoon. If anyone can’t keep up within three days, they can quit!”
Upon hearing Richard’s words, the thirty people were somewhat incredulous.
Running… was actually the training?
【Haha, feeling confused?】
In the livestream room, seeing the expressions on the faces of the thirty or so people, everyone couldn’t help but laugh.
More and more people were getting into the story, and many didn’t even bother to question its authenticity.
“My lord, is our daily training just running?”
A young man couldn’t help asking.
Richard said, “That’s right. During the training, each person will receive an extra chicken leg every day!”
After saying that, he took out a plastic bag filled with many chicken legs.
Naturally, these were bought by Richard from the online marketplace.
And as soon as they saw the chicken legs, the eyes of the thirty or so people widened!
In this day and age, being able to eat your fill was already good enough!
Eating meat… For many people, they might not even get to eat meat once a month, or even once a year.
Immediately, many people started salivating.
Their eyes also revealed longing, like starving ghosts seeing food.
【Oh my god, the power of chicken legs is so great?】
【Of course, don’t you want to eat chicken?】
【What kind of chicken are you talking about?】
【Winner winner chicken dinner?】
Seeing the expressions of those people, the netizens in the livestream room laughed again.
With the temptation of chicken legs, the recruits had no objections. After leaving five people behind for patrol, the rest ran towards the Kava River as if they had taken a stimulant.
The Kava River was a river on the edge of the territory, about seven or eight kilometers away from here.
Running back and forth for training and getting to eat chicken legs—there couldn’t be a better thing in the eyes of these people.
Hmm, they wouldn’t think so after they finished running.
【Naive kids, underestimating the power of training.】
【After running back and forth for over ten kilometers, I’d love to interview them about how they feel.】
【You’re overthinking it. You won’t see it. Based on what I know about the anchor, the broadcast will probably end soon.】
As soon as that person’s comment appeared, the livestream room indeed went dark.
【Oh my god!】
【The most capricious streamer of the year!】
【Anchor, can’t you broadcast a little longer?】
【555, anchor! !】
In the livestream room, there was suddenly a frenzy of complaints!
The netizens who were still not satisfied didn’t leave.
【Let’s help promote the streamer. If the online viewership can surpass a hundred thousand, the anchor might be able to broadcast for a little longer each day.】
Someone suggested.
【Good idea, let’s go. Right now.】
【I’m in too~】
So, some users, in order to watch a bit longer, began to promote in some forums, or their own groups.
Some users found scenes of the cat girl in the livestream playback, made some short videos, and posted them on Bilibili, Douyin, to help Richard promote.
Clearly, these netizens understood what others liked.
So, under the promotion of these netizens, the cat girl became popular, and a large number of people came to Douyin, found Richard’s livestream, and saw thousands of people chatting pitch-black livestream room…
