Long Live the Call of Heroes

Chapter 2 Mercenary Militia
"Ding, you have obtained the initial space backpack (ten grids);

You have obtained the initial start-up capital of 500 copper coins (1 gold = 10 silver = 1000 copper);

You have obtained ten supplies (food + water, each serving can be consumed by a medium-sized humanoid for a day, and similar items can be stacked). "

"Based on your current level, occupation, leadership and other relevant attributes, you have 10 leadership, please choose the initial unit you want to hire."

Note 1: Except for special existences such as summoned creatures, animal companions, and magic pets, each of your subordinates will consume a certain amount of leadership according to their strength. If the leadership is insufficient, the excess subordinates will not enjoy your campaign attributes At the same time, they also have a high chance not to obey your orders in battle, but to fight on their own according to their own character and wisdom.

Note 2: In addition to spending money or other special resources on the troops hired by you, your troops also need to pay wages or remuneration every time (usually 7 days).

At the same time, in order to maintain morale, you also need to provide supplies for your troops, otherwise their various capabilities will continue to decrease. When morale drops to a critical point, your troops will have a chance to choose to flee or defect.

Note 3: Some creatures such as demons, undead creatures, and elemental creatures will have special rules.

Note 4: Morale is a hidden attribute. The level of morale will largely determine the strength of ordinary troops in battle, including but not limited to the degree of order execution, attack frequency, critical strike probability, and even loyalty. Heroes Units will be much less dependent on morale.

Note 5: As a hero chosen by God, your life and death are very important to your subordinates. If you die in battle, if there are no other leaders, your subordinates will respond according to their own wisdom, character and current morale Depending on the situation, you can adopt different strategies, which may cause your troops to suffer great losses, so please be sure to protect your life.

With a flash of light, he suddenly appeared in a small village. Before he could figure out the meaning of the series of system prompts, let alone see the surrounding situation clearly, an old man with a white beard greeted him with a smile: "You Alright, I am the village head of Maple Leaf Village, are you the God-Chosen Hero who is said to be here for the trial?"

"Ding, you have successfully activated the reputation system,

Maple Leaf Village (High Elf) - friendly (0%);
High Elf (race) - friendly (0%);
Dark Elf (race) - Hostile (0%). "

(Maple Leaf Village, which belongs to the overseas colony of the Caledor Kingdom of the High Elf Kingdoms)
(Prestige level: Worship > Revere > Respect > Friendly > Neutral > Hostile > Hatred > Deadly Feud > Blood Feud)
God's Chosen Hero is what the NPCs in this game call the players, mainly for the sake of not being too dramatic. Of course, the game also encourages players not to call them NPCs, but to call them aborigines.

So he didn't have any surprises, he just nodded.

"Great, we have already prepared for you, these are warriors from this village, ready to serve you, my lord!"

As soon as the village chief waved his hand, dozens of people rushed over behind him, looking at him excitedly or anxiously, and then a series of attribute panels popped up above their heads.

Should it be called a cross-age virtual game?Even the lowest-level cannon fodder-level units look different, not just in their appearance, but also in their expressions and even their personalities.

In short, they are almost like some real living human beings.

It has probably just rained, and there is still a hazy dampness in the air. On the big tree a few meters away, every leaf is completely different. With the green leaves and the tender grass, he can feel the growth of everything very clearly. Breath, all of this is something he has never felt in any other game!

This is a real immersive game!
This can't help but make him more interested in this game. It seems to have great potential, but the official of this game seems to be extremely low-key, and has not made much publicity for the game. If it wasn't for him, he has always liked this game. It is also very likely that I will miss it. I really don’t know why, it is too wasteful.

Shaking his head lightly, temporarily put aside his scattered thoughts, looking back here, he couldn't help being a little puzzled.

Why did I choose the high elves, but except for the old man who claimed to be the village head, who was an elf with pointed ears, the guys in rags behind him all looked human?
No, although the village head's ears are not human's round ears, they are quite different from his own, not as long as his own. Perhaps, he is a hybrid?
After a few glances, he found that compared to his own attribute panel, the attribute panel of this group of people in front of him seemed to be much simpler.

Name: Militia

Alignment: Lawful Neutral

Faction: Royalty - High Elf
Race: human

Level: Level 0 (Normal), experience value 0%.

Attributes: Strength 4, Dexterity 3, Constitution 4, Intelligence 2, Wisdom 2, Charisma 2

Common pitchfork (gray-rough): Attacks 1-3.

Ordinary commoner (gray-rough): Defense: 0
Skills: none

Talent: none
Recruitment fee: 50 copper coins
Maintenance fee: 20 copper coins (weekly)
Consumed leadership: 1.

(The militias were trained by local workers or peasants. They were not professional fighters, but they also had the determination to protect their homeland.)
After quickly browsing through the panel of everyone, he found that their attributes were similar, at most, this person's strength was 1 point higher, and that person's agility was 1 point lower. I can beat myself.

No way, even though the militiaman seemed to have a physical adjustment penalty, it was twice as bad as his HP.

Of course, if he used magic, it might be a different situation.

At the same time, through simple inquiries, he also roughly learned the background stories of these humans. None of them were locals, but fell here because of many accidents.

Basically, they were either blown by the waves, or they were human descendants captured by dark elves or Norscan pirates, and then rescued by high elves, so they have black hair and blond hair, because most of them are of mixed race.

It's clearly a high elf village, but the militiamen are all human. Although the village chief has pointed ears, judging by his performance, he doesn't seem to be a pure blood high elf. It's interesting.
However, he was not in a hurry to hire the militiamen, but asked casually, "Aside from the militiamen, are there other people in the village that can be hired?"

Not only are these guys extremely weak in attributes, they have no skills, and they don't even have a name. They look like cannon fodder.

The village chief seemed a little embarrassed when he heard the words, but he quickly responded positively.

"Yes, in addition to the militia, there are also some hunters and a small number of volunteers advanced from the human militia in the village, as well as regular troops sent by the local lords."

"But the hunters are free to move and are not under the jurisdiction of the village. If you want to recruit volunteers or regular troops, firstly, they need to have enough free manpower, and secondly, you need more experience, sir."

He understood right away, is this a dislike for his lack of strength and lack of prestige?
So he didn't talk nonsense with the other party anymore, he randomly picked some militiamen with the highest comprehensive attributes of physical strength and strength and hired them, but he also kept a little mind and only recruited 8 militiamen instead of spending all the initial start-up funds .

With the weak attributes of the militia, it is not a big problem if there are two more people or two less people, but if he can meet those hunters and volunteers on the road, then maybe the 100 copper coins will come in handy?
The eight selected militiamen quickly formed a simple formation, and stood behind him a little excitedly. It could be seen that although their attributes were weak, they should have undergone some basic training.

And those militiamen who were not selected were not too disappointed, because with another white light, a new God's Chosen Hero came in the distance.

Although this game hardly has any publicity, and it seems to be very niche, there are also people who are interested like him, and more than one player was born in this small village.

Pulling back and turning around, he was about to greet the village head who was the chosen hero. He quickly asked, "Apart from what you just said, is there any other way to recruit troops in the village?"

After a little hesitation, seeing Li Wei acting like I won't let go until you answer, the village chief still responded happily.

"If you are willing to wait a little longer, my lord, the tavern in this village will be established almost tomorrow, and there should be some adventurers from various regions and races waiting for your recruitment."

"At the same time, the villagers may also publish some daily tasks. Some people are looking for opportunities to go out and take risks. If you are interested in adults, you can also look around."

Li Wei nodded slightly. Since it was in the tavern, it must be different from these militiamen. This day is probably reserved for myself to accumulate initial resources so that I can prepare enough funds to recruit them.

And the other party said that the task will be released after the tavern is built, so there are no tasks to provide for yourself now?
"Okay, I see, the last question, is there any trouble in the village recently, or is there any special rumor nearby, do I need to solve it?"

"Recently, the number of kobolds in the western wilderness seems to have increased. The nearby villages feel a little troublesome, and the murlocs on the southern coast are also rampant. In addition, it is said that there are signs of undead activity in the east. Sir, if you feel If you are interested, you can go and have a look!"
