Chapter 325 Preparations completed【5K】
"Here are 200 sets of third-level light armor and 200 third-level long swords, enough for Mailan Town to equip two elite guard squadrons."
Looking at the stunned expressions of Xuan Yue and Bai Guo, Lei Xiao looked indifferently and smiled slightly.
It seemed that what was displayed in front of me was not priceless equipment, but just a bunch of cardboard boxes that could be seen everywhere.
These light armors, named [Silver Knight Light Armors], were upgraded from the third-level equipment at the Fanyin City auction.
As for the third-level long sword, it is called [Holy Light Knight Sword], which was obtained from the border battlefield.
Immediately, before the two of them could react.
Lei Xiao's heart moved slightly again, and 200 Qi Condensing Pills in the brocade box suddenly appeared in front of everyone again.
"These 200 Qi Condensing Pills can also be used to form a Guards Squadron. From the current garrison, select some outstanding first-order nine-star soldiers and refine them collectively, which is enough for Mailan Town to obtain 200 elite soldiers again. ”
While pacing the only open space left in the treasure house, Lei Xiao continued: "As an agricultural town rich in food, Mailan Town is very important to our territory. I hope that while you are focusing on production, you will not The training of the army was neglected.”
"I obey! Lord, please rest assured!"
In the midst of ecstasy, Xuan Yue quickly stepped forward and bowed to Lei Xiao.
On the battlefield, a squadron of well-trained second-level elite soldiers is enough to compete with an ordinary first-level soldier brigade.
In the state of forming a dense battle formation and facing each other head-on, even if you face ten third-level strong men or one fourth-level strong man at the same time, you can still not fall behind. This can be seen from this.
Of course, this is without taking into account other factors such as professional restraint, equipment gaps, terrain, etc.
"By the way, there is one more thing, fruits and trees..."
After checking Ginguo's attribute column again, Lei Xiao rubbed his chin and asked the young female guard: "Ginguo, do you know an epee swordsman named Qingshu?"
"To be honest, Lord, this person is my subordinate's brother, and he is currently on duty in the capital."
Bai Guo took a step forward, bowed and responded: "When my subordinate was young, my brother was just an ordinary mercenary. Since we were the only two brothers and sisters in the family who depended on each other, my brother loved my subordinate very much. His swordsmanship, It’s what my brother taught me.”
Having said this, a smile appeared on Ging Guo's cheek unconsciously, and he continued: "It wasn't until my subordinates entered the city lord's palace and could survive on their own that my brother left Mailan Town and went to the royal capital to explore. .”
"I see, then things will be much easier to handle."
Hearing this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, and immediately told Xuan Yue and Bai Guo about the target of his entourage that he planned to conquer today.
At the same time, he also briefly talked about his ultimate goal at this stage, which is to conquer Princess Ariel herself.
After listening to Lei Xiao's description, Xuan Yue and Bai Guo couldn't believe their ears. They opened their mouths slightly and fell into a sluggish state again.
As expected of the lord!
Even the majestic fifth princess Leng Yan, who is at the pinnacle of power in this country, does not pay attention to her, and even plans to make her a subordinate... It is simply unbelievable!
You know, Princess Ariel, as the youngest princess of Leng Yan, has been favored by the old king since she was a child, not to mention the princes and nobles who flattered and invited favors.
Therefore, it is no exaggeration to call Princess Ariel the Kingdom of All Cold Flames, the noblest among nobles, and the eldest lady among eldest ladies.
The most important thing is that the Leng Yan royal family has ruled this land for hundreds of years, and every member is full of pride and despises all existences.
How easy is it to make these royal family members, who have received the most elite education and stand at the pinnacle of power, lower their noble heads? !
Thinking of this, Xuan Yue and Bai Guo swallowed involuntarily, and when they looked at Lei Xiao, there was an extra bit of uncontrollable reverence in their eyes.
After calming down for a while, Gingo, who was wearing a ponytail, stepped forward and said respectfully to Lei Xiao: "Lord, did you just say... that my brother is currently in Kongqing Town?"
Having said this, her fair face showed a lonely look again, and she continued: "But, if that's the case, why didn't brother come to see me, my biological sister?"
"You can't blame him for this."
Lei Xiao waved his hand slightly, indicating that Gingo didn't need to worry.
In fact, the reason why this happened was naturally because of Lei Xiao's order.
The two elite squadrons that came with Princess Ariel were restricted to the barracks near the main palace of Kongqing Town and were not allowed to go out at will.
Therefore, it is reasonable that Qingshu, as the deputy squadron leader of the Guards, cannot take leave to go to Mailan Town.
Immediately, Lei Xiao told Ging Guo all the ins and outs of the matter.
"So that's it."
Bai Guo nodded, then smiled confidently, and saluted Lei Xiao, stroking his chest and saying, "I would like to inform you, Lord, that I can leave the subjugation of my brother to my subordinates. Lord, please rest assured."
< br>
"Very good. In this case, the two current targets of subjugation, the maid Xinghui and the deputy squadron leader Aoki, are already under my control."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, with a satisfied expression on his face.
Next, while Lei Xiao moved his muscles and bones, he said to the young female city lord of Mailan Town: "By the way, Xuan Yue, how are the two third-level garrison commanders under your command?"
"Back to the lord, since the lord left that day, these two people have shown extremely high enthusiasm. When cleaning up the remaining forces of the three elders, they have been at the forefront."
Xuan Yue smiled, and then responded: "My subordinates guess that after seeing the lord's aura that day, the two of them almost felt regretful. It is conceivable that if they had not remained neutral at that time, If you choose to show your loyalty to us, I’m afraid you will be rewarded by the lord.”
"That's it."
With a faint smile, Lei Xiao turned around and walked out of the piled treasure house, while turning his head and asking: "So, these two are pretty good?"
"Back to Lord, that's exactly what it is."
Xuan Yue quickly lifted up her skirt, followed Lei Xiao and said, "These two have been in Mailan Town for more than ten years, and there is absolutely no problem with their character."
At this point, Xuan Yue's eyes lit up and she added: "If the lord likes it, how about taking these two people under his command? In this way, Mailan Town will be completely settled."< br>
"Okay, just ask them to come see me."
With a slight nod, Lei Xiao walked out of the treasure house.
……
A moment later, in the spacious and bright main hall of the main castle of Mailan Town, Lei Xiao looked around.
At this time, the place had already been cleaned, even the rough and clear-textured marble floor tiles had been polished, and the air was filled with a faint floral fragrance.
These fragrances come from two bright and colorful small flower beds surrounding the throne of the city lord at the top.
Upon closer inspection, you can see that these colorful flowers are all in the shape of translucent crystals and exude a faint fluorescence, just like exquisite works of art, which makes people dizzy.
The last time I came here, there was none of this.
It seems that it should be Xuan Yue's personal interest.
All in all, everything is simply unimaginable. Not long ago, this place was a battlefield filled with corpses.
"Lord, this is a rare magic flower that needs to be watered with a little magic power. I have been cultivating it for many years, but it has never bloomed."
Looking at Lei Xiao's interested expression, Xuan Yue smiled and introduced softly: "It wasn't until my subordinates advanced to the third level that they began to flourish. Speaking of which, it was all thanks to the lord. ”
"That's it."
Hearing this, Lei Xiao came to the flower clusters and stopped to observe, while nodding slightly.
A moment later, there was a crisp sound of armor clashing.
Two muscular figures appeared at the entrance of the hall. They were the two commanders of the garrison in Mailan Town.
When these two people saw Xuan Yue, they immediately bowed and saluted.
Immediately afterwards, when they saw Lei Xiao standing calmly not far away, they couldn't help but look happy, and they also quickly performed a standard knight's salute to Lei Xiao.
Before this, Lei Xiao's powerful and lavish spending had obviously left a deep impression on the two of them.
"Commander Bran's cavalry and commander Maier's infantry. I must be familiar with this sir, right?"
As the city lord, Xuan Yue also bowed respectfully to Lei Xiao first, and then said: "If this lord had not taken action at that time, I am afraid that the city lord standing in front of you would no longer be me."
Hearing this, the two commanders of the garrison couldn't help showing a look of embarrassment, and one of them quickly said: "Lord City Lord, we two didn't understand it at that time, and we regret it now. ”
After saying that, expressions of remorse appeared on their resolute faces.
Otherwise, they will undoubtedly be able to get to know the young man in front of them with a profound background.
"Now comes your second chance."
Xuan Yue smiled at the two of them, and with Lei Xiao's permission, told them about Lei Xiao's identity as an alien lord.
Of course, it also includes Lei Xiao's current important goals, matters with Princess Ariel and her group, as well as the matter of dressing up all the people in Mailan Town, and providing a large amount of third-level equipment and Qi Condensation Pills to form a guard force.
At the same time, the Japanese knotweed exuding a vast aura had completely sealed the entire room, leaving the two of them stunned.
Even Chao Yan, who had just been promoted to the fourth level of power, stood beside the two of them, completely showing off his powerful aura, with an unpredictable expression on his pretty face.
At this moment, the hearts of the two of them could be said to have set off huge waves in an instant.
Originally, they thought that the young big man in front of them should be the son of a noble family.
However, now, they realized that this young man with an indifferent face obviously had much more energy than they imagined, to the point of being worshiped and looked up to!
Realizing this, the two of them immediately knelt down on one knee without any hesitation, bowed their heads deeply to Lei Xiao, and said in unison: "I am willing to be loyal to the lord! I am willing to go through fire and water for the lord!"
< br>
"Then, let's start signing the contract."
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao lowered his body and helped the two of them up one after another. Immediately, two third-level recruitment orders flashing with silver light appeared in his hands.
After a while, the familiar success prompts began to ring in Lei Xiao's ears one after another.
[Congratulations, the third-order two-star light knight Bran Iron Cavalry has signed a master-servant contract with you and has become your new subordinate! 】
[Congratulations, the third-order two-star great swordsman Myer Storm has signed a master-servant contract with you and has become your new subordinate! 】
Seeing that everything was going smoothly, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction, and then opened the attribute bar of the two of them.
【Name: Bran】
【Occupation: Light Knight】
[Level: Level 3, Two Stars]
【Loyalty: 100】
[Skill 1: Swift Thrust "Active" (physical single target attack, additional shield-breaking effect and armor-breaking effect)]
[Skill Two: Immediate Cross Slash "Active" (Physical Single Target Attack)]
[Skill Three: Sword and Gun Mastery "Passive" (when using a long sword or lance, the damage will be slightly increased)]
【Name: Maier】
【Occupation: Great Swordsman】
[Level: Level 3, Two Stars]
【Loyalty: 100】
[Skill 1: Leap and Heavy Slash "Active" (physical single target attack, additional serious injury effect)]
[Skill 2: Storm Continuous Slash "Active" (Small range physical attack)]
[Skill 3: Mastering the Great Sword "Passive" (when using the Great Sword, the damage will be slightly increased)]
After closing the attribute bar, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
With the loyalty of the two third-level garrison commanders, the stability of Mailan Town will undoubtedly be further consolidated and improved!
"Okay, Bran and Maier, take these."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao's heart moved slightly. A third-level lance, a third-level two-handed sword, two pieces of third-level plate armor, two storage rings, and the standard 15 first-level magic potions and 15 Second-level magic potions appeared in his hands one after another.
"Thank you very much, Lord!"
After receiving the priceless items handed over by Lei Xiao, the two of them were overjoyed. Needless to say, they bowed their heads deeply to Lei Xiao again.
"While I'm away, help Xuan Yue manage Mailan Town. If you make great contributions in the future, I will have other rewards."
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao raised his hand to signal the two of them to stand up.
After completing all this, Lei Xiao, who was sitting on the throne in the hall, discussed other matters related to Mailan Town with Xuan Yue, such as increasing food production, recruiting new soldiers, and supporting Magnet Town's food supply.
It wasn't until it was almost dusk that Lei Xiao, under the watch of Xuan Yue and others, left Mailan Town and rushed towards Kongqing Town with a group of strong men. Of course, he also took Ginkgo with him.
By the time we returned to Kongqing Town, the sky was getting dark.
Lin, Fang Hai and Guan Zhong, who had just returned from Cishi Town, reunited with Lei Xiao at the city lord's mansion in Kongqing Town.
"For your information, Lord, my subordinates have just dispatched hundreds of carriages from Kongqing Town and are heading towards Magnet Town, preparing to pick up the residents who have moved there."
In the hall of the city lord's palace in Kongqing Town, Lin, who was tired of traveling, took a step forward, bowed to Lei Xiao and reported: "While my subordinates are waiting for the three of them to return, we have already sent the maid's parents and younger sister back home first. He took it back and placed it in a property near the City Lord's Palace that belonged to the Shanglu Trade Fair."
“Very good.”
Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction and looked at Ging Guo, who was here for the first time and looked quite curious.
At this point, after some small setbacks, the preparations for subduing Ariel's two third-level followers, Xinghui and Qingshu, have been completed.
"In that case, let's start with Aoki, who is the deputy captain of the guard."
Seeing the expectant look on Bai Guo's face, Lei Xiao smiled lightly.
……
Not far from the city lord's palace in Kongqing Town, there was a former idle barracks.
The Royal Guards and Maid Corps directly under the princess, as well as Lei Xiao's two squadrons of great swordsmen and a squadron of magicians are stationed here.
At this moment, the sky has completely darkened.
I saw stars dotted above the dark blue night sky, and two bright waning moons, exuding a pale golden brilliance.
Under the night sky, the huge barracks was full of people and the smell of rice was everywhere. It was dinner time.
Although Lei Xiao strictly ordered the two elite squadrons under Ariel not to leave the barracks.
However, it provided them with excellent accommodation and delicious food.
Moreover, during meal time, Lei Xiao deliberately arranged his three elite squadrons next to the opponent.
From time to time, he talks about the high-quality benefits of some territories, such as Qi Condensation Pills that may be rewarded at any time, and more powerful fourth-level equipment, etc.
Hearing this, the second-level soldiers under the princess were all dumbfounded.
As elite warriors selected from different levels, their treatment can be said to be the highest in the Cold Flame Kingdom.
But being rewarded at any time with Qi Condensation Pills worth tens of thousands of golden dragons, and fourth-level equipment worth hundreds of thousands of golden dragons... is undoubtedly an extremely unbelievable thing for them.
So much so that most soldiers are skeptical about it.
However, when he thought about the loyalty of a fifth-level powerhouse beside Lei Xiao, he didn't even take Princess Ariel seriously.
These soldiers were further shocked.
From this, Lei Xiao's goal has been achieved.
At least in the hearts of these elite soldiers, an unfathomable image has been established, which not only acts as a deterrent, but also lays a good foundation for the next action.
Having said that, in the military camp at this time, many soldiers had already finished their dinner and began to walk in groups towards the dormitories not far away.
"Vice Captain Qingshu, what are you thinking about?"
Among the crowd of twos and threes, a young guard captain approached a burly commander who seemed to be deep in thought and asked doubtfully.
Then, following the sight of the burly commander, the young team leader discovered.
The normally unsmiling vice-captain actually focused his gaze on a group of battle maids not far away who were covering their mouths and laughing.
Seeing this, the young captain suddenly showed an expression of enlightenment, and said: "Vice captain, I happen to know a few single and pretty maids. Do you need..."
"Don't talk nonsense."
After casually giving the squad leader a bang, the vice-captain named Qingshu took off his helmet.
While sighing softly, his resolute face showed a touch of rare warmth and said: "I just suddenly thought of my sister. I haven't seen her for a few years. I don't know how she is doing now. I think she should be like this." Are you standing tall and graceful? ”
Just when the two of them were talking about this.
Among the crowd, a slender figure with a ponytail suddenly appeared directly in front.
Clang.
The helmet in his hand fell to the ground, and a look of disbelief suddenly appeared on Qingshu's resolute face.
