Zongman: From No Job to Becoming a Collector King

After Nathan finished speaking, he stole a glance at the young master, who looked a little childish, and was quite shocked.

There were rumors in the army before that the young monarch was just a playboy who could not accomplish anything.

But now that he was in close contact, he inexplicably felt a sense of crisis from Rhodes!

You know, he is a warrior who has experienced many battles!

And he was just facing a five-year-old child.

But is your majesty injured? Why are his eyes covered with black cloth?….

But even so, the captain felt as if he was being seen through. Just standing in front of the young master, he couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat, and the pressure was so great that he even felt difficulty breathing. Rhode was thoughtful after hearing this.

“Ritterbart? You…….Was he once a noble?”

Rhode’s words broke the stagnant atmosphere.

Nathan subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and quickly lowered his head to tell his origins.

“I am from the branch of the Reitbart family in the Asura Kingdom. Although I am called a noble, I am only at the middle level in a small place.”

“As the ministers of the Kingdom of Asura continued to eliminate dissidents in the country, my family was also affected and fell apart.”

At this point, Nathan’s eyes dimmed a little, and his right hand angrily clenched the spear.

Rita frowned slightly, and quietly stretched out her left hand, using the silver arm armor that was shining with light to protect Rhodes.

Nathan seemed not to notice and continued to tell the story.

“I fled with my family and only managed to avoid the minister’s killers when we reached the conflict zone. Just when we were about to be killed by the bandits, it was the late king who saved us.”

His tone gradually became excited, with a look of gratitude on his face.

“The late king did not doubt or reject me because of my background, and entrusted me with the important task. Since then, I have decided to protect this country with my life!”

Rhodes observed carefully and confirmed that he was not lying, so his tone became much kinder.

“How many troops does the country have under its control now?”

Nathan was stunned for a moment and answered hesitantly.

“Three thousand……”

Rhodes frowned slightly

“I want to be loyal to my country.”

Nathan quickly changed his words and lowered his head in shame.

“One hundred and fifty people, all veterans who had fought with the previous king.”

Rhodes raised his eyebrows in surprise and muttered to himself.

“One hundred and fifty people……This amount is beyond my expectation.”

Rod turned his head and nodded to Rita.

Rita took out a purse and handed it to Nathan.

Nathan was terrified and did not dare to accept it.

“Your Majesty, this is……”

Rhode smiled and stretched out his hand. He was going to pat Nathan’s shoulder, but he found that he was not tall enough, so he could only pat Nathan’s shoulder.

The maid beside him laughed slightly.

“…….”

Rhode secretly decided to deal with her when he got back.

He looked at Nathan earnestly.

“Don’t be nervous, this is the salary you deserve for your loyalty. However, I need you to do one thing.”

Nathan understood immediately after hearing this, took a deep breath, patted his chest and mustered up the courage to declare

“Your Majesty, as long as it is your order, I will not be afraid of anything, no matter it is a mountain of swords or a sea of ​​fire!”

Nathan thought it was time to repay his gratitude.

He did not think there was anything wrong, but he was a little worried about the children at home.

However, when he saw the big bag of gold coins in front of him, he thought secretly.

This exaggerated huge sum of money is enough to create another nobleman!

The royal family today will probably have to spend this money, and they can only tighten their belts.

The late king saved my life, and the young master treats me so politely.

What do I have to worry about?!

Rhodes was satisfied with Nathan’s loyalty, but he couldn’t help feeling a little regretful.

Because Nathan’s loyalty did not trigger the system prompt, it seems that only people with names in the original work are qualified to be [Collect】

“Don’t be nervous, I want you to dismiss the thousands of wavering soldiers, Lilia will give you enough gold coins”

“I need you to pay them their previous salaries and double their severance pay, and send them out of the city.”

Rod paused, wiped away the non-existent tears with the back of his hand, and sighed sincerely.

“It is not their fault that they are wavering. After all, it is the country that cannot give them a stable future.”

“But they have served the country. As a king, I will find a good way out for them even if I have to go bankrupt!”

Nathan was anxious to persuade him, but Rhodes told him not to worry, because the big one was still to come.

“After doing all this, tonight, except for the soldiers who are changing guard, you must gather all the veterans who are loyal to me to the training ground. They don’t need to wear armor.”

“I will personally make up all the wages they owe and double their salaries! Then I will start recruiting again, and those who are still willing to follow me”

“Even if I live on the streets, I will not let the soldiers loyal to me go hungry!”

“As for the details of conscription…….I’ll let Rita tell you later.”

Nathan was speechless after hearing this.

It was ridiculous……..

This kind of behavior is simply courting death!

Even drunk adventurers would laugh at Rhode’s incompetence as a monarch.

But why?……

Why is there a blazing fire in my heart that I want to die for the king!

The nobles in this world are only rotten and worse!

There has never been a king who values ​​these soldiers so much!

Even if it is just a casual argument, I have never heard anyone say so.

But Nathan does not think that the young master in front of him is acting, after all, he is just a five-year-old child!

Yes, what the young master in front of him says must be sincere, he is a benevolent and wise king given by God!

I must be loyal to and protect him!
