Chapter 1053: Chapter 1053: Recruitnt Chapter 1053: Chapter 1053: Recruitnt As a Hunter, Li Yao could choose to follow tasks that involved finding a Professional Instructor or an Elite Professional Instructor.
Of course, so elite professions were rare, and so tasks of this nature weren’t even available; one could only find an instructor, but such elite professions were very rare.
However, correspondingly, elite profession tasks were generally more difficult and more expensive.
As a Dark Ranger, Li Yao naturally wanted to recruit Dark Rangers, for they were indeed a war asset, far stronger than ordinary troops.
Dark Rangers, who were High Elves in their lifetis, continued to fight alongside the queen as battle spirits after their souls did not extinguish at death. They already possessed great strength, and once transford into Undead, they could reach very strong abilities through training.
“Neglecting proper affairs and causing trouble everywhere, this battle turned out to be quick, and you’ve made so profit, haven’t you.” The queen didn’t look up while continuing to review the docunts.
Even though the queen wasn’t looking, Li Yao still ticulously perford a salute before speaking, “I also wanted to handle official matters, but since they wouldn’t let in, I had no choice but to knock so sense into their heads.”
“Save your breath, I don’t have ti for your prattle. What’s the purpose of your visit?” The queen still did not look up.
Li Yao said, “Naturally, it’s to recruit followers and request the instructor to issue the corresponding trial assignnts.”
The queen flicked her finger, and a scroll of parchnt flew directly towards Li Yao. He caught it, then opened it to see that it was a permit for recruiting followers.
Dark Ranger Recruitnt Permit
Silver Elite: 15 (Elite players may recruit 10)
Guild President: 50 (Privilege of Territorial Lords, includes the recruitnt of one boss-level Dark Ranger. The number varies with official Guild positions, Vice Presidents 30.)
Major with Real Power: 100 (Normal military ranks in the faction receive corresponding recruitnt numbers.)
Deployed General: 150 (Becoming the general of a map stronghold for one of the three major factions.)
Total recruitable: 215
Li Yao was stunned, not expecting that he could recruit so many, and for every fifty recruits, he could summon a troop of one level higher than himself, which ant he could now recruit four boss-level Dark Rangers.
“What about the mission?” Li Yao asked, puzzled.
The queen said, “What mission? You are a stationed general, as well as my Guard Regint Commander and a Major with Real Power. Do you still need a mission to recruit a few followers? The rest will be arranged by the lady officer you seek.”
The court lady appeared with a smile, leading a completely puzzled Li Yao away. In fact, Li Yao did not have a deep understanding of the System.
As they walked, the court lady explained, “Normally, a new recruit can only convince followers by demonstrating their strength through respective assessnts. Furthermore, ordinary recruits can only enlist ordinary followers, while elites can recruit elites. Ordinary recruits can only enlist five followers, elites ten. As the guild president, or rather, as a land-expanding Lord, you can recruit fifty followers who are at the sa level as you desire, vice president thirty, elders twenty-five, regint commanders twenty-five, captains fifteen, elite mbers ten, and ordinary mbers five.”
“There are two types of military ranks that determine the number of followers one can have: honorary ranks, which relate to virtual battlegrounds and tournants, and the real power ranks within factions. Normally, a squad leader has ten, second lieutenant fifteen, lieutenant twenty, captain twenty-five, major a hundred, lieutenant colonel three hundred, colonel five hundred. Followers obtained from honorary ranks amount to one fifth of those from normal ranks.”
“Your official position as Guard Captain allows fifty, and overseas garrison generals a hundred. It’s a bit complex, but you will gradually understand. If you recruit all now, you can enlist four chiefs among them.”
Li Yao finally understood completely and asked, “Can I choose freely? Can I choose my subordinates to co in?”
“You wish, they are all the Queen’s Guards, way higher ranked than you. However, I’ll authorize you a fifth-ranked Dark Ranger. As for the Queen’s Guard, let’s talk about that when you beco a race-level chief,” the court lady said as she led Li Yao to a military camp. “But these people are not bad either; they are all reserve guards. They haven’t been awakened for too long – normal training for a year would make them fit to join the supplental ranks.”
Li Yao took a deep breath; this was a big win. The so-called reserves are at least at the Silver Knight level, and with them being sixth-ranked Rangers, it at least shows that these Dark Rangers have excellent potential.
The court lady cast a Magic Bullet, and with a burst, all the training Rangers rapidly ceased their activities, forming a small military formation. Li Yao roughly estimated that this batch of fifth-ranked Dark Rangers numbered around five thousand.
“With the Blood Moon in the sky and monsters rampant, the General’s disciples must complete the difficult tasks assigned by the Queen. Now, they need so followers for protection. Those willing to follow Prairie Fire stand still; those unwilling are not forced and may leave the formation to continue training. However, I must make it clear that although the General’s disciple’s current strength is low, he is already a Regint Commander of a certain Guard group, holding regular Guard troops over ten thousand. Due to certain rules, he can only choose fifth-ranked Rangers. If you agree to follow him, apart from the corresponding rewards, there’s also the opportunity to join the real Guard…”
The sister-figure he recognized was really good to him, first calling him the Queen’s disciple, then the Guard Regint Commander. Otherwise, it’s likely that few of these people would choose to follow him, even with money.
This situation was common, such as with Paladins and Priests; they are faith-guided. If you cannot convince them, no amount of money can recruit them.
The eyes of the Dark Rangers lit up – disciple of the General, Guard Regint Commander, each title promising a limitless future, which could let them join the Guards serving the Queen earlier. Suddenly, three thousand blood-red eyes turned towards Li Yao.
“Although no one withdrew, you can choose freely, but let’s also discuss the paynts clearly,” the court lady said. “For each Silver Knight level Dark Ranger, you need to pay a hundred Gold Coins, five hundred for a chief level. This is just the fee for their allegiance, besides, you also need to provide monthly military pay, one Gold Coin for each Silver Knight level Ranger per month, and five Gold Coins for each chief. Additionally, food and supplies will cost thirty silver coins per person per month.”
Li Yao was speechless, this was too expensive; the true reason he could not afford followers in his previous life was now clear – the fee for allegiance, military paynts, and supply costs altogether were killing him.
Moreover, they were expendable, and once fallen, they could not resurrect. If it weren’t for his current financial strength, the re ntion of the prices would probably make him bleed.
Of course, this was because he was recruiting high-quality, Silver Knight level, and fifth-ranked; the ordinary or elite ones were relatively cheaper, but what use was he to recruit ordinary and elite ones?
This was why Li Yao had let Sister Li issue a wave of rewards and benefits; otherwise, even having the quota but not the funds to recruit would still be a problem.
It’s only Li Yao; other guild presidents probably wouldn’t part with over twenty thousand Gold Coins to enlist two hundred troops…
