Chapter 126 The Players' Talent Market
At Tychu's urging, Mill, Tylos, and Rhys reunited, each with their own ulterior motives, but they decided to confront a highly aggressive neighbor.
Besides the renowned Golden Company, various mercenary groups from Essos began to gather in the three city-states. With the funds brought by Techu from the vault, it was enough to build a massive army.
Furthermore, Mill also had a financial sector, owning three banks. Although their strength and funds were not comparable to the Iron Bank, they could still afford to maintain a large army.
With the governors' council in Mil having determined the direction and reached an agreement with the bankers, loans were disbursed to the governors' council in installments, which were ultimately used to hire mercenaries.
While some supported the three city-states, others naturally supported the Targaryens. After all, the fact that a lone individual with a burden had conquered a vast territory in Essos attracted many insightful individuals who were ready to pledge their allegiance.
Many small mercenary groups, eager to make a name for themselves, volunteered to travel to Braavos to meet King Viser, revealing the hostility between the three city-states and expressing their willingness to fight for the Targaryens.
Although Visser had already learned the intelligence from [Calling a Mouse a Duck], he still expressed his gratitude and paid to hire these mercenary groups.
At the same time, Viser issued a decree ordering all lords to summon their people to Braavos, and a great war was about to begin.
At the same time, another batch of nearly three thousand players went online, and most of them were quickly absorbed by guilds and will soon become a powerful force.
"Hahahaha, I've finally logged in!" A player stood with his hands on his hips, laughing loudly despite the stares of those around him who thought he was an idiot.
The game ID "A Happy Kangaroo" is breathing in the wonderful air.
"Hey bro, you're so energetic, how about joining our Flying Pirates?"
The place where the kangaroo went crazy happened to be the talent market where major gaming guilds recruited talent.
At a small stall, the player in charge of recruitment waved to him.
The kangaroo's attention was drawn, and when the man saw him turn around, he quickly came out from behind his stall, stood in front of the kangaroo, and grabbed his hand: "Now that the country is newly established, three rebellious states are plotting to launch an attack and wreak havoc on our nation. At this critical moment, heroes are needed, and we are missing only you. Come, join my Flying Pirates and set sail... cough, um, to serve His Majesty the King!"
The kangaroo blinked and pulled his hand away from the other person's; he didn't think the other person was a good person.
"Hey bro, wait a minute! Joining a guild means the guild leader gives us a 100 RMB bonus every month! Plus, joining gives you epic gear like the Sea Breeze Hattie and the Serrated Shark Knife, and you can even fight on a Nordic-style dragon ship!"
Seeing that the person was about to run away, [Aminos] quickly rattled off the benefits of joining the membership.
The kangaroo stopped in its tracks, then turned back: "Really?"
"Really, absolutely true!" [Arminos]'s eyes lit up, and he nodded hurriedly in response.
"Where do we get our equipment?" the kangaroo asked, scratching its head.
"Wait behind me for a moment, then we'll get three more people and go to the meeting again soon," [Arminos] said, patting him on the shoulder.
Thirty minutes later.
"Are you having trouble recruiting people?"
"Hey, wait a minute, let's grab two more, then we'll leave once we have three people!"
Two hours later.
"Maybe we should just forget about it."
"Hey, no, let's get one more! We'll leave once we have two people. You come over and help me promote it. Look how many players want to join, I can't manage it all by myself!"
Five hours later.
The sun was almost setting when [Aminos] finally returned to their guild's base with the kangaroo and another new player.
The original secondhand clothing vendor's dock has now been renamed Dani Port by King Visser. The Flying Pirates' so-called base is actually just a small warehouse near the port.
Including [Aminos], the guild leader and vice-leader, there are only 29 members in total. Adding Kangaroo and another new player, there are only 31 people in total.
For a player group that currently has over 10,000 members and is striving to reach 20,000, this is truly a bottom-tier guild.
Putting aside other comparisons, just take the established guild Heroes' Guild. It has three thousand members in peacetime, and when it transforms into the Windmane White Cloud Legion during wartime, it can easily expand to three thousand five or six hundred by adding some casual players.
In addition, with the people within the guild leader's fiefdom, it's entirely possible to gather around four thousand people by pooling their resources.
Their guild has pterosaurs that fly in the sky and war elephants and warhorses that run on the ground, not to mention that the Flying Pirates' pitiful resources are simply worlds apart from theirs.
But overall, in the words of the chairman, Golden Lion, their Flying Pirates still have a lot of room for improvement.
After a simple welcoming ceremony, the kangaroo looked at the so-called serrated shark knife in his hand, which was actually a battle-damaged version of a sailor's knife full of nicks and nicks, and a headscarf that smelled of greasy hair.
He turned abruptly, looked at the guilty-looking guide, and affectionately called out his name: "Arminos!"
"Oh, wh...what's wrong?"
However, since they had already entered the den of thieves, and the guild leader had indeed promised to give out 100 red envelopes after logging off, and since they were just playing a game anyway, Kangaroo and another new player simply stayed.
Anyway, there are still red envelopes to get, right?
[Aminos] whistled as he watched the two figures disappear into the distance.
I wonder what they'll think when they find out that established guilds give new players at least 200 yuan in red envelopes.
Overall, the new and old players got along quite well, and even became close friends.
Well, at the job market, a group of veteran guilds, the Wild Wolf Gang, which only had fifty or sixty members and not much strength, clashed with a group of newcomers, the Polar Bear Mercenary Gang, which had over a hundred members. The two sides almost beat each other to a pulp in the street.
The two groups were extremely arrogant, even beating up the blue-robed law enforcement officers who arrived at the scene. The leader of the blue-robed officers, the captain of the law enforcement team, "Halfway Jump Train," personally led his team to the scene, which finally calmed the chaos.
However, these were all minor incidents.
Regarding the united Three Daughters city-states and the Iron Treasury remnants of Tychus, who had instigated the conflict and brought with them the Golden Company and two thousand Unsullied, Viser, before his subjects, exuded confidence and contempt for his enemies: "If they are to be considered Targaryens' adversaries, then I call the Boar King a warrior!"
Inside the makeshift palace, Viserys received the third mercenary group that had come to join him that day. He patted his face, which was now stiff from smiling, and was about to go back to his room to check on Daenerys and his black-stockinged... Black Death.
The Ninth Prince then entered at an inopportune moment: "Your Majesty, a nobleman wishes to see you."
"A knight? Little Jiu, I've conferred knighthoods on too many people these days. Which knight are you referring to?"
Viserys was completely baffled by what he heard.
