Chapter 112 The allegiance of the five commanders
For a time, various chat channels that had only been visited by a few night owls suddenly became bustling with activity and began to flood the screen like crazy.
"Damn it, Xiaoshen Boss has already captured a city? I was fencing and was immediately blown out!"
"The one upstairs is brave and not afraid of difficulties!"
"What a gap! I'm still organizing the farmers to fight the nearby Frost Sheep and Four-horned Oxen, but most of the Xiaoshen have already commanded the army and started to attack the city!"
"We also have nine years of compulsory education, so why is Brother Xiaoshen so good? I have some doubts. I am a loser!"
"Xiao Shen Dada, Niubi 666, my baby! (Blow a kiss)"
"The fans of Xiaoshen No. 1 sent a congratulatory message!"
"The fans of Xiaoshen No. 8 sent a congratulatory message!"
"What's going on? Am I dreaming? I directed ten farmer aunts to work during the day. Sure enough, I'm still too tired. I'd better go to bed..."
"You will be paralyzed when you sleep, but you will be happy when you wake up!!"
……
Glancing at the chat channel, Lei Xiao smiled helplessly, and then his expression became solemn again.
At this stage, he has just captured Kongqing Town, and everything is waiting to be done. It seems that he will indeed be busy tonight.
Not long after, Lin and Fang Hai, who had completed their respective tasks, hurried over with nearly a hundred guards from the Phytolacca Fair.
Also coming with him was a middle-aged man with a resolute face who was wearing second-level light armor, and several garrison commanders who were also wearing standard second-level armor.
When everyone saw the almost unrecognizable city lord on the ground and the corpse of Banji not far away, they couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Unexpectedly, the strongest man and ruler who had been running rampant in Kongqing Town for many years would end up in such an unrecognizable end.
Then, everyone's eyes turned to Lei Xiao sitting on the throne.
Around Lei Xiao, five people, Huzhang, Yecang, Nanxing, Nanyue and Chaoyan, stood in sequence. At this time, everyone no longer restrained their aura, causing waves of soaring momentum to flow back and forth in the huge hall. Ripple.
"He is actually a fifth-level powerhouse..."
When Guan Zhong and others felt the overwhelming aura emanating from the knotweed, which almost caused the surrounding space to fluctuate slightly, they all swallowed subconsciously, and their hands and feet began to feel inexplicably cold.
The pressure of the fifth-level powerhouse was truly terrifying, like Mount Tai pressing down on top.
"For your information, Lord Lord, this is the commander-in-chief of the city's garrison, Guanzhong."
After first instructing the guards of the trade fair and starting to clean up the surrounding area, Lin stepped forward, bowed to Lei Xiao on the throne, and introduced: "The others are the captains and deputy captains of the two garrison brigades."
"See...see Lord Lord." A middle-aged man named Guan Zhong quickly saluted with the other four people.
After speaking, everyone raised their heads and looked at Lei Xiao, who was at the top, and were surprised to find that this lord from another world was so young.
"Perhaps this is what is called true youth and promise?"
Looking up at Lei Xiao's indifferent face, Guan Zhong and others suddenly came up with this idea in their hearts.
"You're welcome, please get up."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly, stepped down from the throne, and walked straight towards the crowd.
At this time, Lei Xiao clearly understood that these garrison commanders had not yet sworn allegiance to him, since they had just shown his strength.
Then, naturally, it’s time to take the second step of combining kindness and power.
When he came closer, Lei Xiao's mind moved, and a whole row of large wooden boxes appeared in front of everyone out of thin air.
Before Guanzhong and the others could react, a brilliant golden light came into their eyes.
Looking at it carefully, every wooden box was actually filled with shining gold coins, which made the whole hall look magnificent and almost dazzling.
"Everyone, there are 200,000 golden dragons here."
The corner of Lei Xiao's mouth turned up slightly as he said, "These golden dragons should be regarded as a greeting gift for the 2,000 soldiers guarding the city under your command."
Looking at the five stunned commanders in front of him, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and continued: "Please tell the soldiers that if you are willing to continue to be loyal to me, I will raise everyone's treatment to the highest in the entire Cold Flame Kingdom. Level.”
"If you don't want to, I won't force you, I can just send you off on the spot."
At this point, Lei Xiao's voice became a little lower: "However, please remember one thing, as a soldier under my command, you need to be a shield to protect civilians, not a sword to pierce civilians. If there is any violation, regardless of official position, No matter how big or small, I will punish you severely.”
After listening to Lei Xiao's words, Guan Zhong and the other commanders looked at each other with emotions in their hearts.
200,000 golden dragons, if distributed to each soldier, would be 100 pieces per person.
The salary of a low-level soldier, squeezed by the former city lord, was only 5 gold dragons.
Therefore, this time, it is equivalent to nearly two years of military pay. The lord in front of me is indeed very dignified!
What's more important is the Lord's last words.
"Do you want to be a shield to protect the civilians, rather than a sword to stab them? If it seems familiar, the old city lord whom I first loyal to once said..."
Thinking of this, Guan Zhong, who is a third-level two-star guardian warrior, did not hesitate anymore, knelt down directly in front of Lei Xiao, buried his head deeply, and swore: "My subordinate Guan Zhong is willing to be loyal to the lord! ”
The other four garrison commanders, all at the peak level of the second level, also knelt down on one knee, obviously touched by Lei Xiao's generosity and his last words.
After helping five people up one after another, Lei Xiao waved his hand, and five sets of third-level black unicorn light armor and third-level sword master training swords that had been upgraded from the Orc Legion and the border battlefield suddenly appeared. In front of five people.
"These five sets of third-level equipment are my meeting gifts to you. As long as you work hard, such rewards will only increase in the future."
Lei Xiao patted everyone's shoulders respectively and said meaningfully.
"Thank you very much, Lord!"
Looking at the third-level weapons and armors that exuded extraordinary splendor in front of them, the faces of the five people couldn't help but reveal a look of ecstasy, and they bowed their heads deeply to Lei Xiao again.
Even with their good treatment, if they want to buy such a set of luxurious equipment, they will have to go without food and drink for at least ten years!
As for the second-level equipment they were wearing, the previous city lord only subsidized one-third of it. The difference between them was a huge difference.
"Okay, you go down first. I'll give you one night to mobilize and tell me the results tomorrow morning."
Lei Xiao waved his hand, turned around and returned to the throne.
The value of those 200,000 golden dragons is only 20 pieces of third-level equipment, plus those given to Guan Zhong and others, the total is 30 pieces.
For Lei Xiao, who still has more than 2,000 pieces of third-level equipment, this is just a drop in the bucket.
These mere things, in exchange for the loyalty of 2,000 garrison troops, are not very cost-effective.
"When the recruitment order is sufficient, then convert Guanzhong and other main commanders of the garrison into direct subordinates."
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this, Fang Hai, who was directing the trade fair guards to clean up the battlefield outside the door, reappeared at the main entrance of the hall, saluted Lei Xiao and said: "Lord Qi, we discovered the treasure of the former city lord. Library! ”
