I, the prince in distress, send money

Chapter 38 The team to restore the country is open!

At night, by the campfire in the middle of the camp, Chris looked speechlessly at the Home Alone kid sitting in front of him and laughing. Then he tilted his head and looked past him at the ten people sitting twenty meters away.

The ten mercenaries recruited by Home Alone were sitting in a circle. They held the iron basin provided by Chris, and used the fork in their right hands to scoop up the noodles in it. After slurping them for a while, they picked up the arm-thick ham sausage with their left hands and put it into their mouths.

They held noodles with broth in one hand and sausage in the other, and ate until they were sweating profusely and were extremely happy. It was obvious that they were very satisfied with their first meal after joining the company.

There were plenty of carbohydrates and oils, and more than a pound of meat. The mercenaries were very happy.

Modern Chinese people look down on ham sausage because it has a low meat content, at least 10% and at most only 30%.

Chris took into consideration that the caravan members were all manual laborers, so when buying sausages, he deliberately selected the kind with 30% meat content, 20% fat content, and a particularly greasy taste.

Chris would definitely not eat such ham sausage, not because of the quality problem or because it would make him sick, but simply because it is too greasy. He prefers to eat lean meat.

But for the Bohemian common people who only eat meat a few times a year, this is a good thing.

It contains meat, oil, and lots of spices. It tastes greasy and salty, and is even more delicious than ordinary meat.

Home Alone knew this, so after he brought his men back to the camp, he asked the chef to prepare sausages for the mercenaries to taste.

"Where's the guide?"

"Ah, what guide... Oh, I forgot."

Home Alone waved his hand disapprovingly.

"It's okay, I'll look for it tomorrow."

"These people...what are you going to do?"

"What should I do? They are all my subordinates, my soldiers. Oh, and I need to top up my account to exchange some money to buy some rice and cloth. I have to pay them the resettlement allowance I agreed with them."

As Home Alone said this, he opened his own player system and pointed at it. Not long after, a voice sounded in Chris's ears.

+The merchant has received payment, 10,000 yuan. +
Chris's originally speechless expression immediately changed and became full of smiles.

Oh, you have recharged money, and you have recharged so much money, it’s okay.

"Give."

Chris took out a key and handed it to Home Alone, and then he continued.

"In my tent, in chest number four, there are ten money bags, each containing one hundred silver coins. Go and take them."

Home Alone took the key and walked happily towards Chris's tent.

After Home Alone left, Chris suppressed his smile and fell into deep thought... Although this was an accident, it seemed like this was a good way to stimulate players to spend money.

What could be more expensive than maintaining an army?

Of course, we can't do this carelessly. We must think carefully about how to make players have fun and voluntarily spend money on the game, and not force them to play.

Killing the chicken to get the eggs is not advisable.

……

+System offline update log update content: Fixed five vulnerabilities that affected players' gameplay.

Added a player's corps formation and command system, which players can explore on their own.

The recharge system has been temporarily suspended and will need to wait until the prologue of the main storyline of the game ends before reopening.

Optimized the map system and map sharing function. +
The story of Home Alone spread that night. The other nine people who had already entered the game, as well as other players who had made reservations but had not yet obtained the qualification for the internal test, were all envious and jealous of him.

As for why we have to suspend recharge in the game, there is nothing we can do about it.

After the Home Alone incident spread, the other nine players came to Chris overnight. They all said they wanted to top up their accounts, and then took away the remaining silver coins in Chris's pocket.

There is no way around it. Once players recharge, we have to give them silver coins.

But Chris has no Bohemian silver coins in his pocket now, and when players want to recharge later, he cannot give them the corresponding coins.

Therefore, Chris could only temporarily shut down the recharge system. After the team entered the Kingdom of Bagnia and established a base, he could find a way to solve this problem.

The other players had money and went out to recruit soldiers the next day. If there were no suitable soldiers in the town, they would ride their horses to the nearby villages and raise flags to recruit people.

Each player more or less formed a team of five to fifteen people, and with the ten people from Home Alone, there were a total of one hundred and twenty people in the team.

Adding the original forty people, not counting the players, Chris's team magically expanded to a size of more than one hundred and sixty people, and a reinforced infantry company emerged.

The player's actions cannot be hidden from the Bohemian garrison roaming nearby. Generally speaking, the former's actions will inevitably be met with an iron fist crackdown by the regular army... You are recruiting soldiers without official permission. Are you preparing for a rebellion?
Coincidentally, the Bohemian military leader in charge of this area was Master Popoli, who was planning to smuggle arms with Isaac.

When Popoli learned about the players' behavior, he was not angry but laughed out loud. Obviously, in his opinion, these people's behavior was due to Isaac's orders.

Isaac is preparing to expand the size of his team for arms smuggling.

There are only one hundred and sixty people. That’s not a lot of people. And all the people recruited are from within Alfonso’s family. In other words, they are all free men within the territory of Alfonso’s family.

Even if Isaac wanted to rebel, would these free men in Alfonso's territory dare to point their guns at him, the noble lord Alfonso?
Their wives, children and the elderly are still under the control of the Alfonso family. Does the whole family want to see the God of Light?

Therefore, Popoli did not stop Isaac's behavior at all. He simply turned a blind eye and decided to increase the sponsorship from 100 muskets to 500 at once.

My partners are so courageous, so as a Bohemian military noble, I cannot be looked down upon!

When Isaac brought his men back to the camp, he was stunned... No, I was only away for three or four days, how come there were one hundred and twenty more mouths to feed?

With so many people, the original twenty or so horses and donkeys were no longer enough!

How to do?
There is no other way, just take out the money and buy the horse locally.

We have recruited all the people and paid them, so we can't just disband the team.

With so many people, Isaac was actually very happy. As long as the team successfully entered the territory of the Kingdom of Bagnia, Prince Chris's early restoration work would be much smoother.

The fifteen-day rest period passed quickly, but before setting off the next day, Chris still had a problem bothering him.

Where is the guide?
Why haven't they hired the guide I asked the players to hire yet?!

No, you are kidding me!
