Summon Hokage as Lord

Mu's Territory, Mu's City

Under the high cliffs, there is such a huge and magnificent city.

The city is divided into two parts, the inner and outer parts. The inner city is backed by a cliff and houses tall buildings such as the Lord's Palace, the Central Square, the First Commercial Street, and the First Hospital.

The area of ​​the outer city is several times larger than that of the inner city. There are endless buildings that can be seen at a glance. They are probably hundreds of thousands of square meters in size.

Hundreds of thousands of streets criss-cross, leading to all directions, and 10 people live in this great city, making today's Mucheng more prosperous and popular.

After more than half a year of integration, the people in the territory no longer miss the things in the past territory and truly regard themselves as people of the Mu Territory.

After this great victory, Mu Chen's reputation reached its peak, and everyone loyally supported him. This led to the spectacular scene of empty streets like when Mu Chen returned in triumph two days ago.

People live in Mu’s Territory with peace of mind and are willing to fight for Mu’s Territory because it is also for their homeland.

Therefore, when Mu Chen was recruiting soldiers, many families were in favor of their men joining the army in the lord's mansion, even though they knew that in this troubled world, joining the army can be said to be one of the most dangerous jobs.

However, danger is also opposite to opportunity. The more dangerous the job, the better the salary will naturally be.

In Mu Zhiling, joining the army can be said to be one of the most popular jobs. The monthly salary is fifty silver coins, and families with people who join the army will also enjoy various benefits.

For example, tax exemptions, free medical care, land allocation and other benefits are all more advantageous than other ordinary citizens.

There are even free houses allocated for the families of soldiers who have joined the army to live!

There is a huge residential area in the outer city, which is divided into an exclusive area for Mu Zhi. Mu Chen personally ordered it to be distributed free of charge to families whose relatives have joined the army.

After all, almost the entire population of Mucheng now migrated from other former territories in the Misty Plain, and there are no houses in Mucheng.

Basically, Mu Chen is required to allocate them uniformly, while others are allocated houses for free, but the period is only five years.

After five years, you can buy this house at half the market price and obtain permanent residency.

This is the welfare package Mu Chen gives to other ordinary citizens.

But the military area is different. As long as someone in your family is willing to join the army, you can directly obtain permanent residence in Mucheng without spending any subsequent money to buy it.

This is a benefit exclusively for military families!

With such various benefits, Mu Chen was able to raise [-] black-armored troops in a short period of time, and even had a surplus.

Lin Hai's family is in such a situation.

They were originally ordinary citizens of the Northern Forest Territory. Later, the Forest Territory surrendered unconditionally when Muchen unified the Misty Plains, and tens of thousands of citizens in the territory were also forced to move to Muchen.

Lin Hai has a family of four. His father, Lin Hai, is now 56 years old. His wife is in her 50s and they have two children.

The older boy's name is Lin Mu. He was found to have a talent for cultivation since he was a child. He has been working hard to train himself. By the time he reached adulthood, he already had a level five strength level.

At the time of the Great Migration, Lin Mu was 25 years old, and his strength level had been raised to level eight. In the eyes of ordinary people, he was already a strong man who could carry a cauldron.

After arriving in Mucheng, life started from scratch. His father, Lin Hai, was already old and could not do heavy work. He could only go to the lord's mansion to get a field, and he and his wife reclaimed the land to make a living. This was also what most ordinary citizens wanted. Way to go.

It happened that Muchen also encouraged production and vigorously developed the farming industry. He reclaimed a large amount of wasteland near Muchen and gave them free farming.

Lin Hai and his wife just returned to their old business, but they adapted quickly.

Lin Mu was young and frivolous, and had a lot of strength. Naturally, he would not be satisfied with farming in the fields all his life. Not only was it hard work, but he could not earn a few gold coins throughout the year.

He saw the recruitment notice issued by Mu Chen. Soldiers joining the army would be paid at least fifty silver coins a month, which would be six hundred silver coins a year, which could be exchanged for six gold coins!

Isn’t this much better than the treatment of farming?

So Lin Mu resolutely chose to join the army, and with his eight-level "superior" strength, he skipped the Black Armor Army and was selected as a member of the Lord's personal guard!

The monthly salary is a full sixty silver coins, which is a little higher than that of ordinary black armored soldiers.

Although his father Lin Hai knew that it was very dangerous to join the army in these troubled times, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people would die in any war.

But under Lin Mu's strong request and seeing the various benefits offered by Mu Chen for joining the army, he finally agreed.

After half a year, Lin Mu, as a member of the personal guard, guarded the lord's mansion and followed Muchen. Not only did his strength improve by one level, but he also accumulated more than 300 silver coins to go home.

This is a huge amount of wealth that his father, Lin Hai, could not earn even after ten years of farming.

The Lin Hai family was full of joy, and Mu Zhiling was very good to them. It was not as oppressive as the previous territory, but instead gave them various things and benefits.

As time goes by, their lives in Mu's Territory are getting better and better, which is completely different from their time in Lin's Territory.

They naturally became much closer to Mu Zhiling.

The old couple are also grateful people. They have received preferential welfare treatment from Mu Chen. They have also been reluctant to join the army for their son from the beginning to now. They also asked him to protect the lord, who is the benefactor of their family. …

Lin Mu agreed wholeheartedly and stayed in the Guards wholeheartedly, working hard to improve himself, hoping to repay the Lord's kindness.

In this life-and-death battle for the Mu Territory, Lin Mu also followed Mu Chen on the battlefield as a member of the three thousand personal guards.

pity……

On the battlefield, the sword had no eyes, most of the three thousand guardsmen were killed or injured, and only more than 1000 people survived.

Lin Mu, unfortunately, failed to survive this calamity, and stayed on the Yixiantian battlefield forever, unable to return to the Mu Territory.

For Lin Hai and his family, this bad news was like a bolt from the blue!

Mr. Lin and his wife, who had lost their son in old age, almost fainted when they looked at the body of their son that was sent back. They just felt that the sky was falling.

Lin Mu's younger sister, Lin Muxi, was only 16 years old and not yet an adult, but she had already lost her beloved brother and was heartbroken.

The whole family seemed to have lost hope.

This is the cruelty of war. Years of war have left the Lord's Continent riddled with holes, and countless families have been torn apart.

"My miserable son..."

Mrs. Lin wiped her tears and couldn't stop crying.

Even though their son has been buried for several days, Lin Hai's family still has not gotten over their grief.

Lin Hai also seemed to have aged ten years and was silent for several days.

They didn't resent Mu Zhiling, nor did they blame Mu Chen. After all, they had already anticipated this outcome when Lin Mu joined the army.

Being a soldier is a life with your head tied to your belt, and you are doing a life-threatening business. It is normal to die on the battlefield.

They had no reason to resent their lords.

They just hate this chaotic world that makes them unable to live in peace, and hate those foreign lords who take the initiative to start wars and invade their Mu Territory!

"How should I live in the future..."

Lin Hai endured his grief, looking at Lin Xiaomei who was not yet an adult, feeling sad in his heart.

Lin Mu died, and their family almost collapsed in half. In the past, Lin Mu's sixty silver coins per month as a soldier was the family's largest source of income.

Now there is nothing. The Lin family's current source of income is only the few acres of land cultivated by Lin Hai and others.

But just by farming, they only get a few dozen silver coins all year round. How can it be enough to support the three of them?

Although Lin Mu still had the three hundred silver coins he had saved during half a year of serving as a soldier, he would at least have enough food and clothing for a few years.

But what happens after the money is used up?

After the great grief of losing their son, Lin Hai's family was faced with a very real problem of survival. They sighed and suffered all day long.

It is really easy for a family to survive without a male.

And just when the Lin Hai family was looking worried about their future livelihood, there was a knock on their door.

"I'm coming……"

Lin Hai stood up quickly and opened the door, but was surprised to see a soldier wearing silver armor.

Lin Hai recognized the man's clothing, which was exactly the same as when his son was a soldier.

This is the personal guard responsible for guarding the Lord's Mansion!

"Uncle, are you Brother Lin Mu's father?"

The young man dressed as a Guardsman grinned when he saw Lin Hai and asked politely.

"Ah, I am, you...you are..."

Lin Hai came back to his senses and knew that the Guards basically represented the lord in the Mu Territory. His movements suddenly became cautious and he asked tentatively.

The guards quickly stopped Lin Hai's move to bow and said kindly:

"Uncle, you don't need to be nervous. I am the captain of Brother Lin Mu in the Guards. I am also very sad about Brother Lin Mu this time. I came here to visit you."

After hearing the sincere words of the Guards, Lin Hai gradually became less flustered and quickly invited him into the room.

"It turns out to be the captain. You are really thoughtful and even went there yourself..."

Mrs. Lin also came out to greet her. When she heard that she was the captain of her son in the army, her eyes turned red.

The captain of the Guards did not hesitate and took out a bag of gold coins and handed it to Lin Hai.

"Bang!"

There was a large bag full of gold coins, probably fifty or sixty of them, and the golden light made people dizzy.

"This……"

When Lin Hai saw this, he was so frightened that he almost jumped up.

day!

They have never seen so many gold coins in their lives...

"Captain, you...what are you doing? We can't take it away..."

Lin Hai and his wife were startled, and they couldn't speak clearly. They were trembling with fear, thinking it was a gift from the captain.

The captain was stunned for a moment, then quickly waved his hand and explained:

"This is not given to you by me, but by the lord!"

Lord Lord?

Lin Hai's eyes widened again and they looked at each other.
