The three people took turns speaking, and after they had finished, they exchanged smiles between themselves.
They were all battle-hardened individuals; they could tell whether soone was sincere or faking.
anwhile, the other rcenary Team Captains and Soldier Team Captains listened to their statents and started to ponder deeply, their gazes shifting around the entire team.
"So, once we move to Hope Village, can we still be soldiers?" one of the Soldier Team Captains asked.
Having finally gained an official position in one territory, the switch could an starting all over again, which was slightly disheartening.
"This," Pavel spoke up, "Ellis and the others have given us guarantees. Soldiers will remain soldiers, and captains will remain captains, but there are requirents regarding Contribution. If these aren’t t within three months, there will need to be a demotion. If they haven’t lied to us, I believe everyone should be able to maintain their positions within three months."
"As for the rcenary Team, there are no Contribution requirents; you just need to register at the rcenary Center to take on tasks," Lucian also shared the information he had learned with the various rcenary Team Captains. "It’s no different from being in Barnes Village, and in fact, a bonus is that the territory won’t take a cut of our commissions."
When they were still in Barnes Village, they hardly had ti to share these details. Lucian had contacted them; they knew what they needed without much effort.
Only now, after moving a considerable distance from Barnes Village, did they have the opportunity to discuss in detail, and Lucian had his chance to explain.
Indeed, as soon as Lucian spoke, many rcenary Team Captains’ eyes lit up.
"Is that true?"
"Yes, those that contacted us were from the Hope Village rcenary Team, and they haven’t been charged any commission by the territory, just the regular taxes," Lucian nodded.
"That Zhong Yongnian— the one who convinced the Lord Viscount to let him open a shop—is the owner of the Convenience Hall of Hope Village. The dried at, dried fruit, and various ready-to-eat als are all products he created. He’s currently the largest rcenary Group in Hope Village, not just in terms of strength, but also wealth," Maimaiti piped in with his insight.
He was intrigued by Hope Village, so he managed to extract quite a bit from Watt, seeing how much Watt admired Zhong Yongnian; naturally, he sought to learn more about Zhong Yongnian’s accomplishnts.
Not just the rcenary Team Captains, but also the listening Soldier Team Captains were sowhat taken aback.
For they could hardly believe that the Lord of Hope Village, holding such wealth, would not be tempted?
After all, in many territories, rchants are just ATMs for the territory lords.
Indeed, even those with a bit of power in the territory could occasionally extract so profits from the rchants.
Thinking about this, one person directly asked out loud.
Watt has ntioned this before; "Hope Village gave them a factory especially for production, which is considered an investnt. They share half the profits from the factory’s production, but apart from that, Hope Village does not involve itself in the managent or operation. This is quite normal, without a territory’s na attached, doing business in other territories is prone to being taken over," Maimaiti pragmatically stated.
The territory is involved, but not fully involved, the team has complete autonomy.
This situation was indeed quite favorable.
Following this, several people alternately shared what they had heard about Hope Village from others. Although they only knew fragnts, the information, once integrated, seed to align.
And this information, undoubtedly, was proving one point:
Hope Village was truly a great place.
"Actually, from how they treat ordinary residents, you can tell the culture of this territory," Pavel added, as everyone discussed; his gaze fixed on a nearby beast cart team.
At this mont, many ordinary residents on the beast cart were already dozing off, leaning this way and that. Although the beast cart continued to move at a relatively fast speed, the carriage itself was very stable, which was evidently due to the driving soldiers’ efforts in stabilization.
What concerned them was the comfort of the ordinary residents behind them.
Onlookers saw this and naturally understood, their expressions subtly changed.
The true nature is revealed in small matters.
Hope Village might truly be a territory completely different from Barnes Village.
They were getting a bit excited!
As this vast team, filled with hope, moved toward Hope Village, on the other side, Hope Village had already welcod the first batch of residents from Barnes Village.
