Gold coin is justice

Big Cannon exhaled, looked at Ai Luo seriously again, and slowly said——

"In fact, this kind of rumors of weakening the guild have already started two or three years ago."

"President Airo, do you know what the rule of our empire is? As our royal family, the Blue Bay royal family has a large number of troops to maintain the stability of the local security and deal with a large number of enemy troops or insurgents."

"However, no matter how much the funds of His Majesty the Emperor, it is impossible to arrange all areas in our territory. What's more, recruiting more soldiers means that while someone is out of production, there is an extra piece of money that is completely inoperative. Mouth. So in peace times, our country’s army has never been very strong. Only in wartime can we use emergency mobilization orders to recruit a group of soldiers."

"This will cause a problem, that is, in some remote areas, it is almost impossible for soldiers to patrol there. Therefore, in order to save our funds, the royal family began to allow the formation of teams of adventurers' guilds."

"The members of the Adventurer's Guild can perform tasks that need to be completed by the Royal Army in areas that the Blue Bay Empire cannot take into account. For example, tasks such as destroying bandits and destroying monsters."

"Such things have been carried out silently for decades, but when all of us thought this method was perfect for both sides, our Emperor was sick in bed and unable to move. After the crown prince has now taken power, he has begun a series of military conscriptions and has studied the border areas. At the same time, he is also sending soldiers on a large scale to our city for secret observation."

"I won't talk about other cities, maybe I don't understand it very clearly. But in the vast sea city, a large-scale action against the guild has already begun. Take our guild as an example..."

After the artillery paused for a while, he exhaled and said: "Recently, people have come to me repeatedly, hoping that I can join the imperial army, and then they can buy my guild at a price that makes me satisfied."

"The other party offered a price that was difficult for me to refuse, and assured me that other guild members besides me would also join the army at the same time. And I, the guild leader, can serve in some army. Important position, and even become a team leader."

"I...very excited."

There was no expression on Airo's face listening to this, just maintaining that faint smile.

Destroy the guild...

This word sounds scary, but in fact it may not be that nervous.

As the president of the purgatory guild said, the empire is willing to pay a very attractive price to dissolve these guilds, and then convert a large number of people with powerful combat capabilities into the army.

In all honesty... this is a correct proposition.

The Adventurer’s Guild System is different from the Chamber of Commerce system.

The Adventurer's Guild itself is a system that exists as a supplementary form of daily security maintenance based on the lack of imperial military power.

Therefore, the Adventurer's Guild was initially located in an area that could not be covered by the military power of the empire, or although it could be covered, it would be very difficult to operate.

With the current emperor’s acquiescence to the guild system, the Adventurer’s Guild has gradually developed and grown to where it is today in the last few decades.It can even be stationed in cities where the imperial forces are strong.

With the development and expansion of the guild system, it can reduce expenditures for the country's military power.

This is easy to understand, because some tasks that were originally required by the imperial army can now be handed over to ordinary guilds, so the cost of maintaining the army can naturally be reduced.Over time, even if the imperial army exists, when encountering some beasts that destroy bandits or kill civilians, they will rather let the ordinary guild complete it, and pay some commission at most.Compared with the expenditure for daily maintenance of the army, these commissions are too small.

So...is it a good thing for the empire to let the adventurer guild system take root gradually?

I'm afraid... this is not a good thing.

Especially in recent years, there has been constant friction between the Blue Bay Empire and the Hunter Empire. Perhaps it is precisely because of such constant friction that the interior of the royal family feels the weakness of the army.

Without sufficient regular army, powerful warriors or magicians will be poached by those powerful guilds with heavy money.If you just encounter ordinary bandits or monsters, it is easy to handle, but if you really hire these scattered guilds to go to the front line to resist the regular army of other countries, then these guilds may want to save their own Strength, or the inability to cooperate well with each other, resulting in few results.

In a period of general peace, there is certainly no problem with the development of the Adventurer’s Guild.

But if it encounters conflicts with the interests of other countries, the adventurer guild system, based on its nature, will certainly not be able to become an opponent of the regular army of other countries.

Under such thinking conditions, the current crown prince wants to gradually eliminate the guild system, and network a large number of soldiers scattered in the guild into the army. This is a very correct decision in itself.

It's just that such a decision is bound to have some other hidden dangers...

After all, how much money should be used to acquire these chambers of commerce is itself an issue that can be manipulated wildly...

"President of the Cannon, so, have you agreed? Sell your own guild?"

Ai Luo asked softly.

Big Artillery smiled, and the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously, and said, "In general, I am very willing to sell my guild. After all, no one can be an adventurer for a lifetime. With age, physical strength weakens, even Even the magic affinity will gradually weaken. At that time, doing this kind of thing is undoubtedly tantamount to waiting for death. But well..."

"Hehe, I didn't want to sell it at such a cheap price. And if possible, I hope that all my guild members can be assigned to a team with me. If possible, even let me lead me directly The members of the guild directly form a small team. If the empire agrees to such a condition, I don’t want to insist on the price."

After all, it is a freedom.

The money for the acquisition may be a lot, but in addition, these adventurers themselves know that if they are incorporated into the army, they can imagine that there will be a lot of constraints.And after that, it is equivalent to a soldier who receives a dead salary. Compared with the guild, his income may not only be improved, but it will directly drop.Not to mention some fixed escort tasks that were originally commissioned by large families to perform every month, this is equivalent to all gone!

However, if you can form the same team with your own guild members, then these problems can be easily solved.

Ai Luo nodded slightly and said with a smile: "It seems that the leader of the Cannon has not made the final decision... But what does this have to do with those of us participating in the guild championship?"

Big Artillery sighed, and said with a little helpless attitude: "For those of us who have already become famous guilds, the Empire is of course willing to acquire us and incorporate us."

"But what about you newbies? How do you new guilds deal with it? Is it the same as our big guilds, will all buy you? This is impossible."

Ai Luo thought for a while, and said with a little skepticism: "So... you mean, the third mission of this guild championship match... It's entirely the Empire's hope that we, new adventurers and those mountains The thieves started fighting, then consumed each other for a wave, and finally entered the field to harvest us?!"

The Cannon's complexion suddenly became tense, he hurriedly put his finger in front of his lips, hissed softly, and said, "Don't be so loud! Be quiet, do you want to die?!"

Ai Luo quickly lowered his head and stopped talking.

The Cannon looked around and confirmed that there was no one else before continuing to say: “I can’t guarantee that someone will come to harvest you in the end, but I want to let you and the bandits consume each other. There should be nothing wrong with Bo. Otherwise you think, you have never heard of a large number of bandits in that forest and mine area before, and our guilds have never received such a task. But how come you come, Suddenly there will be so many bandits appearing?"

Having said that, the artillery slapped Airo's back vigorously. This movement was a bit too violent, causing Airo's body to jump forward involuntarily a small step.He was slightly frightened, instinctively clutched his chest, turned his head, and stared at the president of the Purgatory Guild.

"President Airo, I owe a favor to your guild, so I will return this favor to you now."

It’s just that the artillery didn’t seem to realize that Airo’s eyes were full of vigilance and tension, and thought he was nervous about the bandits, and continued--

"The task of this guild championship match is absolutely difficult! You have to understand that it is best for your guild to retire directly, and even return to the town you came from as soon as possible after you retire directly! The town seems to be very remote, right? It is estimated that it will take a few years to wait until the reform order reaches your side. Use these years to speed up the reform, and then find a way to sell yourself at a good price!"

As he said, the artillery raised his hand again, seemingly intending to pat Airo's shoulder again.
