Chapter 375 A brand new attempt
"Your Excellency, please wait a moment!"
Just when Lei Xiao and his subordinates were about to enter the gate of Red Arrow Town.
Donna's somewhat urgent voice sounded immediately behind the group of people.
"What else?"
Lei Xiao did not stop, but turned his head slightly as he walked.
"Sir, may I ask why you entered Red Arrow Town?" Donna quickened her pace and immediately followed.
"Of course it's to completely eliminate Luo Ji's power here." Lei Xiao smiled lightly and said without hesitation.
This time, there were only seven people in the team, including Lei Xiao himself.
But the lineup of one fifth-level strongman, two fourth-level strongmen, and four third-level strongmen is already very luxurious.
In addition, as usual, when Lei Xiao left the territory, he carried twenty-four Earth Guardians who had reached the third-level three-star level, and two Sky Guardians of the same level.
This kind of combat power is naturally more than enough to deal with a small town that is not as big as Magnet Town.
"As expected..."
After hearing Lei Xiao's answer, I saw that Donna did not hesitate, and then said with a serious look on her face: "Sir, even though you are extremely powerful, you must be unfamiliar with the place when you first arrive here. We are willing to act as your guide. I repay you for your help! ”
At the same time, the young and handsome mercenary, the middle-aged mercenary Rock, and the middle-aged priest Patch beside her also showed firm expressions and bowed to Lei Xiao.
"Not only did I almost have a conflict with the soldiers of Red Arrow Town, but I also had to serve as a guide for these powerful men and enter Red Arrow Town. This is the craziest thing I have ever done in my life... I hope it is not the last time. ”
At this moment, the middle-aged mercenary Luo Ke couldn't help but gulp down a mouthful of saliva while having mixed feelings in his heart.
As for the young and handsome mercenary, when he looked at Lei Xiao, his eyes were full of uncontrollable admiration, and he was so excited that he could hardly speak.
"Be a guide?"
At the gate of the city, Lei Xiao slowly stopped and couldn't help but reveal a hint of contemplation.
Originally, he planned to eliminate the forces of Marquis Luoji entrenched in Red Arrow Town, so he directly sneaked into Songluo City to settle the score with him.
After all, this guy has a murderous intention against him, and he has also sent spies to Kongqing Town to gather information, so naturally he cannot let him go.
As for this town that was already riddled with holes, Lei Xiao didn't have any special arrangements.
As you can imagine, it would undoubtedly be an extremely difficult and time-consuming task to reorganize a garrison team from scratch here.
Therefore, Lei Xiao just ordered the nearest territorial city, Mailan Town, to be ready to receive the refugee civilians.
"In this case, it would be a good choice if we could hire a group of trustworthy mercenaries for a long time to guard this city."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, and then his mind moved, and a handful of shining golden coins appeared in his hand.
"Here are 19 golden dragons."
First, he handed these gold coins into Donna's hands, and Lei Xiao said calmly: "There are a total of 10 people in your team, one second-level strongman, and nine first-level ones. The second-level strong ones get 10 coins, and the first-level ones get 10." Each time you get 1 piece, consider these as your commission today, and the employment contract between me and you can be effective for a long time.”
"After cooperating with me to completely clear this place, your mission is only one, which is to defend this town from any threat from foreign enemies."
He finished speaking before anyone else present could react.
Lei Xiao waved his hand again, and ten boxes of golden coins appeared in front of everyone.
Under the illumination of two brilliant suns, a row of exquisite treasure chests were filled with golden dragons that were about to overflow, shining brightly, reflecting one after another of dazzling golden light.
This scene immediately caused an uproar among the surrounding crowd and the team that followed.
Not to mention the mercenaries, not even the merchants who hired them had ever seen such a huge number of golden dragons appear at the same time!
For a time, there was an endless stream of longing and shocked looks, and even more exclamations sounded from all directions.
"Oh my god, there are a hundred thousand golden dragons here."
"As expected of one of the other two princes, such a strong financial resource is really terrifying."
"One golden dragon every day? In this case, an ordinary mercenary of the same level will get 30 golden dragons in a month!"
"You know, even if you are an old mercenary at the peak level of the first level, on a good day, you can only earn up to 15 golden dragons in a month!"
"Yes, yes, a rookie mercenary like me can only earn 8 gold dragons a month."
"My strength is also at the peak level of the second level. At the most, I only get 130 golden dragons a month. But as long as I hang out with this adult, wouldn't I be able to get 300 golden dragons a month? It's simply unbelievable! ”
"The most important thing is that this is a defense mission that is difficult to encounter in ordinary times! It is almost no different from a vacation!"
……
After hearing the discussion of the mercenaries, Lei Xiao continued to maintain a faint smile.
When he first captured Kongqing Town, he conducted in-depth research on the monthly income of the mercenaries.
Therefore, such a reaction was naturally expected.
"This young master, are you still missing some thugs? There are two second-level warriors in the villain team, and five are at the peak of first-level strength, with complete professional configurations. They are twenty-year veteran mercenaries certified by the Mercenary Guild. The soldier team has a guaranteed reputation and has never violated its contract!”
"My lord, my lord! There are three first-level peak level magicians in my team. They have excellent long-range strike capabilities. Please hire me!"
"Brothers, calm down! If you follow this gentleman, you are going against Marquis Rocky! The end will be very miserable!"
"What are you afraid of? Behind this lord, there is also one of the two princes and highnesses standing. Are you still afraid of that old dog Luo Ji? Besides, what kind of torment have these people in Red Arrow Town done? We are doing justice to God!”
"That's right, I have long been displeased with these soldiers who do all kinds of evil in Red Arrow Town. Today I will use the hungry giant ax in my hand to teach these guys a lesson!"
……
Looking at the mercenaries not far away, the atmosphere was gradually rising, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Donna, who was still dumbfounded at the side: "Go ahead, I will leave the matter of selecting mercenaries to you. What do you think?" Just choose whichever team is suitable to be stationed here.”
Before that, Lei Xiao had naturally seen the ins and outs of the confrontation between the female mercenary captain and the soldiers defending the city.
In addition, this person took the initiative to help him regardless of the danger, so giving this task to her was undoubtedly the best choice.
"Sir, you mean... I will be responsible for this from now on?"
On Donna's delicate face, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, with a look of astonishment.
"Yes, it can be understood that way."
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao waved his hand and said: "Time is running out, go ahead."
"Yes! My lord!"
After hearing this, Donna ran along with her team members and immediately started working.
Since most of these mercenaries know each other, they also know each other's character and past very well.
Therefore, within a moment, Donna quickly returned to Lei Xiao's presence.
Immediately afterwards, her sassy voice reached Lei Xiao's ears: "Master Qi, at present, I have selected ten mercenary teams with good strength and combat power. A mercenary squadron has been temporarily formed. As for signing the employment contract, it can be done later at the mercenary guild in the city.”
"In addition, the mercenaries staying in the city should be able to form a second mercenary squadron. However, since there is no large-scale mercenary group organization nearby, it is difficult to recruit mercenary forces above the size of a squadron, but please Rest assured, sir, these mercenary teams are definitely very reliable guys.”
Having said this, Donna touched her chest and saluted, with a look of reverence on her face.
"Very good, I will deposit a large amount of commission directly into the mercenary guild here."
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, and then said: "By the way, the strength of the two squadrons is far from enough. I will let the news out later. I must recruit a large group of mercenaries in the near future to protect this place." In this city, if there is a large-scale mercenary group of squadron or above coming to invest, it must be carefully checked.”
This is naturally not a problem for Lei Xiao, who currently holds tens of millions of golden dragons. It can only be described as a drop in the bucket.
The most important thing is to hire a large number of mercenaries to protect the city and even conduct large-scale legion operations.
For Lei Xiao, it is obviously a brand new attempt.
As you can imagine, there is still a big gap between mercenaries who are good at small team operations and professional soldiers who are good at large-scale military formations, and their behavior is completely different.
However, with Lei Xiao's financial resources, theoretically it may not be impossible to gather all the huge number of mercenaries in Leng Yan.
In this way, quantitative changes will naturally lead to qualitative changes. The mercenary troops, which are not weak in their own strength, will have no problem cooperating with the regular troops in attack and defense.
"Although I have had this idea before, it is a brand new attempt after all. Let's start implementing it with this mercenary unit."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao deliberately raised his voice a lot, and said calmly: "By the way, if I find any mercenaries who dare to continue to be arrogant and domineering here, the consequences will be the same as those of these black-armored soldiers lying on the ground. Same.”
"I obey! Please rest assured, sir!"
Hearing this, Donna quickly bowed again.
The selected mercenaries, after taking a look at the corpses scattered on the ground, all had expressions of awe and nodded quickly.
"Okay, the other mercenary teams will stay here to guard the gate and clean up the battlefield for the time being. Your team will follow me alone."
With a wave of his hand, Lei Xiao put the ten boxes of glittering golden dragons back into his pocket and took another step forward.
After successfully entering the city, Lei Xiao noticed.
In the streets and alleys of this Red Arrow Town, dead leaves are falling, the doors and courtyards are deserted, and everything is desolate.
There were only a few scattered shops open on the street, and the few pedestrians passing by were all dressed as merchants and mercenaries.
"Sir, this is the outer part of this town. Only outsiders like us can stay."
I saw Donna on the side, taking a step forward with a solemn face, first sighing, and then introduced: "And the residents in the city have been gathered by the people in power here into the more closed inner city area, where the guards , dense and dense, with about nine squadrons of troops.”
Among them is an elite second-level guard squadron, all soldiers directly under Marquis Luoji who were transferred from Songluo City. Moreover, the person in charge here is also a ruthless and ruthless third-level peak powerhouse. Please be careful, sir. . ”
After finishing speaking, Donna bowed to Lei Xiao again.
"Exactly what I expected."
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao nodded.
As you can imagine, this special town falls within the sphere of influence of Marquis Rocky, and naturally no one dares to mess with it.
Therefore, a thousand soldiers were enough to completely suppress the residents of the city.
"I have to say that this is the first time I have seen a city's garrison. It is not external but exclusively internal."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but shook his head.
"Sir, the aura at the bell tower in front is very dense, forming a very impressive momentum. It seems that there are about eight or nine hundred people."
The rough sound of Japanese knotweed rang in Lei Xiao's ears again.
"Sir, next to the clock tower is the wall area of the inner city!"
On the other side, Donna quickly added: "The inner wall is like a heavy shackle, completely isolating the poor residents in the city from the outside."
"I see, no wonder no reinforcements have appeared for so long. It seems that the enemy is arranging their troops there, waiting for us to fall into the trap."
Looking at a tall black bell tower in the distance, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
After passing through several empty blocks, another towering city wall appeared not far in front of Lei Xiao.
Looking carefully, this city wall, which is at least six or seven meters high, is already densely packed with a large number of archers, crossbowmen and magicians who are waiting for the attack and are filled with murderous intent.
Under the bright sunshine, the cold light shining from the tip of the sharp arrow complements the small magic circle that is ready to go and is constantly rotating at the top of the staff.
Coupled with the nearly a thousand enemy soldiers, they simultaneously exuded an icy aura and a strong killing intent that had already filled the air.
Donna and the mercenaries beside her couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of spit, and felt a chill running down their spines.
As for Lei Xiao and his party, they still had a calm look on their faces, obviously not taking this into consideration at all.
"Is this the inner wall blocking the residents of the city?"
Looking at the towering solid city wall in the distance, Lei Xiao said lightly: "Then, let me completely break this heavy shackles that have imprisoned the residents of the city for many years." (End of Chapter)
