    Sunset Town, a medium-sized town well-known in the border area for its rich redwood trees and copper mines, recently welcomed its owner, a baron lord named Reed.  The residents of the town did not pay too much attention to this event, which was very sensitive among the aristocratic circles of the Northwest Province. In their view, the taxes that should be paid still had to be paid, but it was just a change of aristocrats collecting taxes.  As a result, Hu Bin, who was dressed in military uniform, did not attract much attention when he entered the town hall.  Hu Bin, who originally planned to return to Dandi City after completing his mission, did not expect that he would receive a letter from Dandi City just after he dismissed the group of militiamen in the territory.  "Dear Reed, first of all, congratulations on repelling the orc spies who invaded the province. Guarding the territory is the responsibility of every noble, and your feat of leading the people to repel the enemy has inspired every noble in the northwest province.  Many people have already included you in the banquet list, but unfortunately, it will take some time before they can see you at the banquet. The harassment actions of the orc spies should arouse our vigilance. The kingdom¡¯s expedition plan does not allow it.  Yes, the defense work on the border has become particularly important during this sensitive period, but unfortunately, Dandy City cannot send more manpower to garrison on the border. I am now giving the order as the Lord of Dandy City.  You, Baron Solant, repair the destroyed border post as soon as possible, and draw manpower from the militia in the territory to form a border patrol to strengthen the security defense there. The following is what I am telling you as a friend, Reed, Dan.  Di City will give you the authority to issue official missions and will provide you with equipment and financial support. I will also personally support you with some supplies, but you must ensure that the border area is on high alert. This is my request!  ¡ª¡ªHaines" Count Haines posed a problem for Hu Bin. The southern part of the human territory has never been peaceful. Bandits often sneaked across the border checkpoints and robbed villages near the border.  The gathering of bounty hunters and mercenaries here is also a restless factor, because these guys will often do the same thing as bandits when money is tight. If it is not to complete the task, Hu Bin will do anything.  Make this your territory. ? But look at it from another aspect.  Hu Bin took the initiative to take over the mess on the border during this sensitive period, which undoubtedly won the favor of the nobles of the Northwest Province. This was a good start for him to integrate into the noble circle.  Although Dandi City does not have enough troops to support the border, Hu Bin will not be treated badly in terms of materials, and the power to issue tasks is also a big temptation for Hu Bin. But he knows that there are many people gathered in Dandi City now.  The Chosen One is still worried about the reputation of the camp.  This way Hu Bin doesn¡¯t need to rush back to Dandy City.  As long as he sends someone to issue a mission in the Dandy City Mercenary Guild, a large number of God's Chosen Ones will come here. As the lord of this place, he can definitely use the power of local snakes to inspect these batches.  The strength of the chosen one.  Sunset Town is the only prosperous town in Hu Bin¡¯s territory, so of course Hu Bin regards it as the center of power in the territory.  The local mayor is an old infantryman who retired due to injury.  He enjoyed a high reputation in the nearby areas, and it was with the help of him that Hu Bin was able to summon a large number of militiamen to annihilate the bandit group. Now Hu Bin would shamelessly trouble this elder for the second time.  "Leave it to me, sir. I will definitely find some of the most suitable candidates to form the guard." When the old mayor heard that Hu Bin needed to form a border patrol team in his territory, he took the initiative to take the job with his eyes shining.  .  "Not only that. I also need to hire a group of people to help with defense, and repairing the border posts will also require a lot of people to cooperate. At that time, a lot of labor will need to be mobilized." Hu Bin felt a little guilty about the old mayor's enthusiasm, but still  Say the next words.  "That gang of mercenaries will never dare to cause trouble in my territory. Old Jack from the tavern really likes these guys who pay more for drinks when they are drunk. Sir, you can feel free to hire them. As for recruiting labor to repair the outpost, there is no problem.  , Everyone knows that a guard post is more secure, and each village will send enough manpower when the time comes." The old mayor did not take care of everything this time, but said to Hu Bin solemnly.  "This puts me at ease." Hu Bin was very lucky to have such an empathetic, moral and respected old man in his territory. Perhaps for other nobles with a strong desire for power, such a figure would dilute the lord's reputation, but Hu Bin  He was an exception. He wanted to minimize his impact on the territory, but he didn't have time to manage it.  The mission entrusted by Earl Hines to Hu Bin went very smoothly. Many aboriginal mercenaries were attracted by the reward for the mission that Hu Bin had placed in the mercenary guild, and rushed to the border areas to carry out bandit suppression operations. Naturally, these news  It has also reached the ears of the chosen ones, but after all, it takes a lot of time to travel to the border areas, and most of the chosen peopleWe are waiting to see these tasks.  But Hu Bin knew very well what the Chosen Ones were most concerned about. After issuing a batch of free bandit suppression missions targeting aboriginal mercenaries, he also asked the somewhat unclear old mayor to issue another batch of missions.  In the opinion of the old mayor, the rewards for these tasks are very small, but in fact, the things they do are similar to the previous tasks. The old mayor, who originally thought that no one would take these tasks, was surprised to find that these tasks are actually much better than the previous ones.  Higher-paying jobs are still in demand.  Hu Bin released the second batch of tasks in the name of voluntary labor and obtained the consent of Lord Haines. Although the rewards for the tasks were very small, the camp reputation gained was greatly increased.  For the Chosen Ones, these trivial tasks that previously required long distances to travel have suddenly become a hot commodity.  But the great success in foreign aid could not hide Hu Bin's embarrassment at this time. He finally understood why the old mayor was so concerned about what he told him.  The old mayor led the organized guards to report to Hu Bin, but Hu Bin stared at the militiamen and twitched the corner of his mouth.  "Are these people a little inappropriate? Well, I mean, this, this." Hu Bin reluctantly showed a cry-like smile, trying to express his feelings to the old mayor tactfully.  But I don¡¯t know how to talk about it.  "Those rookies don't even have hair, and they still have a lot of energy to farm. If we expect them to fight, they will all run away before they encounter the robbers. These old friends of mine will definitely meet the needs of the Lord. As long as the kingdom needs it,  We can continue to wield weapons!" The heavily armed old mayor excitedly waved the infantry sword in his hand, while a group of veterans behind him beat their shields emotionally.  Hu Bin ignored the arrogant old mayor, turned to the only militiaman who met his requirements and said: "I remember your name is Ham, right? You performed well last time. Are you interested in becoming the captain of the guard under me?  "My lord, I was forced to come here by my father. He said it was inconvenient for him to travel on one leg, so he asked me to give him some advice first." After Ham finished speaking, he looked at Hu Bin's stiff smile.  I felt very uneasy because he was one of the rookies that the veterans called him.  "What the hell is this!" Hu Bin was dumbfounded by Ham's words. The old mayor actually summoned all the veterans in the territory and even brought their previous equipment.  It's a good thing that this is a border area, otherwise why wouldn't there be so many veterans together?  Every veteran has some flaws of one kind or another, and coupled with their older age, their combat effectiveness will inevitably be affected, but after all, they were once members of the regular human army, and their courage and experience are not compromised at all.  The armor of the veterans was polished.  It can be seen that they have been taking good care of these partners who have been with them through life and death.  "Although time and pain have deprived us of the qualification to continue fighting for the kingdom, we have the right to continue fighting for the kingdom. This is something that no one can take away." The old mayor, whose blood has not yet cooled down, is an official after all.  , saw Hu Bin's embarrassment, "Sir, I implore you to give us another chance to go to the battlefield." "Okay, I understand." Hu Bin stopped the old mayor who was emotional and wanted to step forward to thank him.  He continued: "But I also have a few requests, and you must comply with them." "Sir, please tell me, we can accept any request." Before the old mayor spoke, the veterans below could not help but agree.  .  "Only one-third of you can be left. The other vacancies in the guard must be filled by young people. As for who will be left, you decide for yourself. Mayor, you must be responsible for them and the territory." Hu Bin  Turning his gaze to the old mayor, he understood what Hu Bin meant. Those veterans with disabilities were indeed not suitable to join the guard. That would not only be irresponsible to them, but also irresponsible to the territory.  Fortunately, these veterans also know that they cannot be selected into the Guard, but this does not mean that they are really just here to join in the fun. The veterans have asked for their children to join the Guard.  This is exactly what Hu Bin wants. Most of the children of veterans have learned a lot from their father. They are not like other people who only know how to make a banker. With a little training, they can be used as soldiers. Whoever has the courage  Ham, who is alone with the orcs, is an example.  At this point, Hu Bin finally understood the old mayor's plan. He was paving the way for these young people. After all, he would serve as a servant under the lord Hu Bin, and he would most likely join the regular army of the kingdom. If he was lucky, he would set up something.  If you have merit, it would be great if you could still become a lord. It would be much more promising than being a farmer for the rest of your life.  In the end, both sides got what they needed, and Hu Bin's territorial guards were also located.  After all, Ham still could not escape the fate of becoming the captain of the guard. For him, thisThe pressure was a bit high. After all, many people in the team were veterans who had fought with his father. Fortunately, his strength was relatively good, and he also had the credit of injuring the Wolf Cavalry. He was quite popular among a group of young people.  of.  After all, the old mayor still failed to join the Guard. Although he had recovered well from his previous injuries and was in good health, Hu Bin needed him to sit in Sunset Town to help him manage the affairs of the territory. However, his son was selected into the Guard.  , this young man named Doron is as resourceful as his father, but he is a little immature because of his little experience. It is suitable to be a deputy to Ham, a stupid young man.  After integrating the guards, Hu Bin handed them over to the veterans in the team to train. Next, Hu Bin will focus on the upcoming chosen ones.  ¡­ ¡°Vicky, have you really decided to go to the border to develop?¡± A chosen one asked the dwarf companion beside him.  "The mission is simple and clear, and the camp's reputation rewards are generous. Why don't I go?" The dwarf shook the weapon in his hand, which was more like a hammer than a warhammer, and asked carelessly, "As a citizen of the Sun God, you can't be cautious.  "It really doesn't fit your identity, Carter." "Oh, you simple-minded guy really fits your identity as a Vulcan believer." Carter stroked the wrinkles on his robe and muttered, the sun god he believed in.  The gods of fire that Vicky believes in have some overlap in their priesthoods, but the grievances between the gods they believe in do not affect the friendship between the two of them. In fact, as long as the camps are not absolutely opposed, this unrelated belief can only be based on friendship.  Maintaining relationships are common between Numbered Ones and Chosen Ones.  "Are you really not afraid of blasphemy when you say this?" Vicky's ears were very sharp, and he actually heard what Carter was mumbling.  "I believe that the Sun Temple will reward me for this." Carter said indifferently, and then the two of them laughed together.  "The missions at the border are indeed a bit weird. The mission of the voluntary mercenary is just like tailor-made for us chosen ones. It's really weird." Although he has decided to go to the border with Vicky to do the mission,  But Carter was still worried.  "How many times do you have to tell me before you can feel relieved? The mission there is not only for us Chosen Ones, but also the mercenaries of the aboriginal people. Moreover, there is indeed some unrest at the border recently. Even the outposts have been demolished by bandits.  It's gone. It seems that Dundee City is determined to clean up the place." Carter heard the words of Optimist Vicky more than once, but he was naturally cautious and suspicious and still couldn't let go. They were the chosen ones.  They get along well together, and maybe there are some factors that complement each other's personalities.  "I heard that there is a new lord at the border. Maybe we can pay a visit. Maybe there will be some worthy missions." Seeing that he could not completely convince his friends, Vicky did not continue to force it. After all, Carter's words also made sense.  However, the two of them did not go smoothly in collecting the reputation of the camp. The only opportunity they could seize was this trip to the border.  "Forget it. Although the lord there is only a baron, it is not something that we civilians can see casually. But since you said so, let's try to find him." The two of them.  After finalizing the next itinerary, they continued to drive south, and their destination was the important border town of Sunset Town. However, what Vicky didn't know was that an old acquaintance was waiting for his arrival there.  PS: I wanted to update yesterday, but when I saw a comment in the book review area, I felt very bad, so I get off work at 5 o'clock every day, take the car, eat, and then spend 4 hours updating. Sometimes  It takes me until midnight to type out enough words, and the income from writing books does not exceed 300 yuan per month.  How many 4 hours are there in a day?  I am very grateful for your subscription and support. I am not angry at all if you watch pirated copies, because I am also watching pirated copies, but what I want to say is that I don¡¯t owe you anything at all.  Some readers, that is, that so-and-so said that I am trying to sell someone else's dog meat. I admit that I am right. An imaginary world structure will indeed make many people uncomfortable, but what I want to ask about is the battle mode of Warcraft.  How should it be written based on the historical facts of World of Warcraft?  How to write the subsequent 2v2, 4v4, and f-chaos?  Anyway, I¡¯m not very good at writing, so I threw away all the history that restricted the plot, and you can write whatever you know how to do.  I was confused, World of Warcraft is also a fantasy, why am I being questioned so much if I don¡¯t follow its history?  The plot in the fan fiction has been changed beyond recognition. Don¡¯t you also enjoy reading it?  These are my exact words: "As an author who has been on a hiatus for a long time and now has no intention of pursuing monthly tickets and subscriptions, I have nothing to ask for from readers like you. I can only say that I don't want to enter with caution."  I think I have said it tactfully. If these wordsIf I mention some people¡¯s displeasure, I can only say ****
