As the sun set, night slowly descended on the mountain.
Lin Muyu and Luo Yu rode side by side on their horses. The village in the distance shone with lights in the darkness, giving off an indescribable sense of peace and tranquility.
Lin Muyu grabbed the reins and said with a smile, "Lady Luo Yu, you ambushed Princess Tang Xiaoxi once, and attempted to ambush the Imperial Army's main camp to kill Her Highness Qin Yin. You must have participated in both of the House of Chivalry's operations, right?"
Luo Yu was slightly startled, "Lady Lin Yan … Why are you suddenly asking about this?"
"That's because I'm here for this matter …" Lin Muyu smiled faintly, "Lady Luo Yu, you don't believe that I'm really a nameless brat, Lin Yan, right?"
"Then you … You are?" Luo Yu reined in her horse and asked.
Lin Muyu smiled and opened her palm. The indigo Green Gourd Martial Spirit emerged from her body and shone brightly in the night, "This is the tenth-grade Green Gourd Martial Spirit, but in my hands, it is not inferior to the first-grade God Binding Chains. Guess who I am?"
Luo Yu's eyes were filled with indescribable shock, "Lin … Lin Muyu? You are Lin Muyu from the Holy Sanctum, right? "
Lin Muyu smiled and cupped her fists, "Holy Sanctum's Gold Star Sparring Master, Imperial Guard Lin Muyu, greets Lady Luo Yu?"
Luo Yu could not help but laugh out loud, "I knew it … How could a wandering mercenary have such charisma and boldness! Lady Lin Muyu … Hahaha, it really is you, you are a legend! "
"I know …" Lin Muyu said, "There is not much time left, you better tell me, why did the House of Chivalry ambush Princess Tang Xiaoxi and Her Highness Qin Yin? Don't they know the strength behind Tang Xiaoxi and Qin Yin? "
"This …"
Luo Yu's expression darkened as she said, "I'm afraid that I'll have to disappoint you, Lady Lin Muyu. Ji Yang has been tight-lipped about the purpose of these two missions. As a chess envoy, I'm only responsible for dispatching troops. As for why, I have no idea."
"Is that so …"
Lin Muyu was slightly disappointed and said, "Fine, fine, I'll investigate the truth myself. Right, Luo Yu, what plans do you have for the future? Do you have any plans for yourself?"
"Not yet."
Luo Yu sighed and said, "I was born in a poor family. Even though I've been training hard, I've never been able to reach Heaven Realm. I can't return to the House of Chivalry, and the army in the imperial capital probably won't be able to accommodate a former wandering gamer like me. Perhaps the only place I can go is to join a mercenary group. There are so many mercenary groups around the imperial capital, so there has to be one that I can go to, right?"
"Hey, is that so?" Lin Muyu suddenly sneered.
Luo Yu was startled, "Sir, why are you laughing so coldly?"
Lin Muyu said, "Don't you know what the mercenaries in Lanyan City are like? Look at what the Tian Jing Mercenary Group has done. How are they mercenaries? They're no different from bandits. Do you really want to go to that kind of place? "
Luo Yu was dejected, "Then … so what? I'm penniless and alone. I don't even know what to eat for my next meal. A poor man's ambition is short, and a thin horse's hair is long …"
"Why don't you set up your own group?" Lin Muyu said with a smile.
"Set up my own group?" Luo Yu was startled.
Lin Muyu nodded, "Go to the imperial capital and register a mercenary group. Become a real mercenary of the imperial capital, not a wandering mercenary that kills and pillages."
"This …"
Luo Yu was speechless and said, "The empire's mercenary system is very strict. Just registering a mercenary group requires ten thousand Jinyin coins. Normal people can't afford such a large sum of money. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people willing to become wandering mercenaries."
"It's okay, I have money."
Lin Muyu patted her Qiankun bag and said with a smile, "Money is definitely not a problem. The problem is, Master Luo Yu, are you willing to follow me to build an army of our own?"
"This …"
Luo Yu was startled again. Suddenly, he flipped off his horse and knelt on one knee, cupping his fists and bowing, saying, "This subordinate Luo Yu is willing to follow Master Lin Muyu. As long as you don't abandon me, Luo Yu will never leave you!"
Lin Muyu quickly dismounted and helped him up. She said with a smile, "That's good … Let's go to the imperial capital together and register our mercenary group at night. The empire forbids ordinary generals from owning private armies, but if I use the identity of a mercenary group to build an army, there shouldn't be a problem. I'll give you enough Jinyin coins, and you'll be in charge of the recruitment."
"Yes, Master, Luo Yu definitely won't let you down!" Luo Yu's eyes shone brightly. He had been living in a daze for the past 32 years, and only today did he see the direction of his life.
Lin Muyu flipped onto her horse and said with a smile, "The mercenary group that we will build will not rob the common people, nor will we accept any unjust employment such as revenge or robbery. We will only accept employment such as protection and escort. According to the military discipline of the imperial army, any mercenary who joins us must consider themselves as a soldier of the empire and will not harm the common people. They must follow the eight rules of humility, honor, sacrifice, valor, compassion, honesty, spirit, and justice. These sixteen words will be the military spirit of the mercenary group that we are about to build."
Luo Yu nodded excitedly, "Yes, Master!"
Lin Muyu was secretly thinking happily that the eight rules of western knights were actually quite useful … Admittedly, although the Shattered Cauldron Realm was far superior to the real world in terms of cultivation, it was still barbaric and primitive in terms of civilization and ideology. The eight rules of knights in the Shattered Cauldron Realm were simply a kind of advanced realm of consciousness, and it would definitely cause a storm!
…
Late at night, they entered Lanyan City.
Luo Yu changed into a new set of clothes, and Lin Muyu took off the emblem of the Hall of Chivalry's game envoy and headed to the Mercenary Union with Luo Yu. The Mercenary Union of the imperial capital was not far from the imperial army camp. Compared to the bustling imperial army camp, it was a little desolate, but the four golden words of the Mercenary Union still shone in the night sky.
"Creak …"
Pushing open the door, Lin Muyu strode in. There was no one in the hall, and on the workbench, an old man with white hair and beard was napping with his hand under his chin.
"Master." Lin Muyu knocked on the table and said, "Master, wake up!"
"Oh?"
The old man opened his eyes and looked at Lin Muyu and Luo Yu. He rubbed his eyes and said, "Are you here to join the mercenary group? Currently … there are a total of 23 mercenary groups registered in the North Ridge Province, and the number one in terms of strength and number of people is … the North Ridge Mercenary Group with 10000 people. To join the North Ridge Mercenary Group, you need to pay an introduction fee of 10 Jin Yin Coins … Pay up! "
Lin Muyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Master, we don't want to join a mercenary group. We want to apply to establish a mercenary group."
"Oh?"
The old man was shocked. He squinted his eyes and smiled. "You want to establish a mercenary group?"
"Yes."
"Kid, do you have 10000 Jin Yin Coins?"
"Yes."
Lin Muyu quickly took out 10 diamond coins from her Cosmos Sack and placed them on the table. Under the oil lamp, the diamond coins glowed with a moving color.
The old man's expression immediately turned serious. He immediately shouted, "Guys, it's time to work. Someone is here to apply to establish a mercenary group. Hurry up, this is the 24th mercenary group we've accepted!"
The inner room was in chaos. Soon, seven or eight people wearing the Mercenary Union's uniform walked out. They lit up all the lamps and busied themselves filling in the forms.
After Lin Muyu paid the 10 diamond coins, the old man took out a form and asked without raising his head, "Kid, you're the leader of the mercenary group, right? What's your name? "
"Lin Muyu."
"Oh, it sounds familiar … What's the name of your mercenary group?"
"Longdan Army Camp."
"Longdan Army Camp? What a strange name … Why would a mercenary group use the name of an army camp? "
"You can just write it as I say."
Luo Yu smiled. He was quite satisfied with this name. Longdan Army Camp. From Lin Muyu, he could see that she was full of courage. In this barbaric and primitive world, if she was full of courage, there would be no need to talk about humility, honor, sacrifice, bravery, compassion, honesty, spirit, and justice.
… …
Not long after, the establishment of the Longdan Army Camp mercenary group was completed. The old man gave them a gold badge of the leader and two silver badges of the vice leader. Lin Muyu gave the two silver badges to Luo Yu and then put the gold badge into her Qiankun bag.
The old man raised his head and smiled, "A regular mercenary group with only two people. Interesting. Hahaha … When are you going to accept the missions? Only by raising the mercenary group's level can you accept some difficult missions …"
Luo Yu smiled, "We will be back. Sir, let's go. "
"Okay."
The two of them left the Mercenary Union and stood under the moonlight. There was not a single person on Tongtian Street.
"The next step is to recruit people." Lin Muyu took a deep breath and said, "Luo Yu, do you know how to recruit people?"
"Sir, don't worry."
Luo Yu cupped her fists and smiled, "This subordinate will pay attention to the taverns in the capital and rope in some people with decent strength and character to join the Longdan Army Camp."
"Okay, stay away from those evil people. Our Longdan Army Camp doesn't need those kinds of scum."
"Yes, sir!"
Lin Muyu took out another 100 diamond coins from her Qiankun bag and carefully put them in another bag. She then took out another 100 gold coins and gave them to Luo Yu, saying, "These 100,000 gold coins are the basic funds of our Longdan Army Camp. After you recruit people, immediately equip them with weapons, armor, and horses. I hope that everyone we recruit can fight well. Do you understand?"
Luo Yu nodded, "Don't worry, sir. Longdan Army Camp only recruits cultivators at the second level of the Earth Realm and above!"
"Okay!"
Looking up at the sky, Lin Muyu said, "It's getting late. I have to hurry back to the headquarters. How will I find you in the future?"
Luo Yu thought for a moment and said, "I will arrange for someone to stay in the Mercenary Union. Sir, as long as you call out the name of the Longdan Army Camp, someone will naturally receive you."
"Okay, then I'll be leaving."
"Sir, be careful on your way. Take care …"
"Oh right, here is a bottle of Dream of the Extreme. Use it to cultivate when you have time. It might help you break through to the Heaven Realm. Okay, I'll be leaving."
"Sir …"
Luo Yu held a bottle of Dream of the Extreme and stood in a daze on the moonlit Tongtian Street, watching as Lin Muyu left.
