Chapter 377 Donna’s Allegiance
Upon closer inspection, this breeding farm looks like a long, solid fortress built on the river beach. It is completely made of stones and is almost airtight.
At first glance, it looks like a giant cage.
At this time, there were already many residents of Red Arrow Town wearing tattered clothes, hiding aside in twos and threes, watching carefully.
I saw these residents, including men, women, old and young, and they looked different.
However, there are obvious similarities.
His face was sallow, his muscles were thin, his expression was numb, and his eyes revealed a sense of panic. He had obviously been enslaved for a long time.
Seeing this, Lei Xiao shook his head slightly and withdrew his gaze.
After commanding ten earth guardians to guard the door, Lei Xiao led his subordinates, as well as Donna and other mercenaries, and walked straight into the breeding farm.
As soon as they entered the gate, an extremely strong fishy smell immediately poured into the nostrils of the group of people.
The pungent smell caught Chaoyan, Bai Wei, Donna and others off guard and even started to retching.
Frowning slightly, Lei Xiao adjusted his breathing while continuing to walk inside.
Looking around, the ground here is muddy and wet, and the light is extremely dim.
After passing through a corridor and several heavy iron doors, what everyone could see were large breeding tanks separated by stones.
Each of these pools is fifty or sixty square meters, and they look densely packed. There are hundreds of them, with almost no end as far as the eye can see.
At the edge of the pool, there are iron fences that have long since rusted. On some iron fences, you can even vaguely see dried blood stains.
At the same time, violent and manic auras of monsters rushed toward him.
"Sir, the number of magic bead monsters here is extremely large, please be careful."
Immediately, the rough sound of the knotweed reached Lei Xiao's ears.
"I understand."
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao's mind moved, and Rolandel immediately appeared on his palm, and then began to slowly walk towards the edge of one of the breeding ponds.
When he got closer and looked down, Lei Xiao noticed.
The height of this pool to the water level below is about three meters, and the water is turbid.
You can see a group of huge black figures hidden in it, slowly squirming.
And, surprisingly, on the surrounding pool walls.
The faint purple light scattered all over the place gave the dark environment a touch of weirdness.
"Sir, the purple light on the wall should be made from the grinding of magic dragon bones. It has the effect of deterring low-level magic beasts. This makes these magic bead monsters unable to break out of the breeding pond."
After observing for a moment, Chaoyan pinched his nose and introduced in an angry voice.
Judging from her somewhat funny expression, it was obvious that she was not used to the environment here.
"It's no wonder, after all, what this girl is most afraid of is the first-order water slime."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but curled his lips slightly, and then nodded, indicating that he heard what the other party said.
"Is this the breeding pond for the magic bead monster? I wonder how many innocent dead souls it contains?"
The middle-aged priest, who was covered in patches, also looked into the pool curiously, and then clasped his hands in front of his chest in a praying posture.
At this moment, two dark tentacles suddenly appeared, causing a splash of water.
With lightning speed, he attacked directly towards the unsuspecting middle-aged priest!
Because it all happened in a flash of lightning.
The other mercenaries, including Donna who was not far away, quickly took steps forward, preparing to step forward to support.
However, the speed of the tentacles was even faster, so that the mercenaries could only watch in horror as all this happened.
Seeing that the middle-aged priest was about to be restrained by the sudden tentacles, he was then dragged into the water.
At this extremely urgent moment.
With several dazzling lights flashing, the two tentacles, together with a section of rusty iron fence, were cut into several pieces and fell into the turbid water.
The one who took action was none other than Lei Xiao, who stood calmly.
At present, he has reached the level of third-level eight-star. Whether it is neurological reaction or shooting speed, it has already far exceeded the level of ordinary people.
It is naturally easy to intercept these magic bead monsters whose strength is only at the peak level of the first level.
"Thank you very much for your life-saving grace!"
The trembling middle-aged priest, after staying away from the broken iron fence, quickly bowed to Lei Xiao and lowered his head deeply.
"You're welcome."
Waving his hand casually, Lei Xiao couldn't help but look thoughtful.
The moment the bead monster in the water stretched out its tentacles, he had already noticed it.
The appearance of these magic bead monsters is somewhere between shellfish and octopus. Their whole body is black and gray, and they look ferocious and terrifying.
It can be seen that, struggling to survive in such an environment every day, it is no wonder that the residents of Red Arrow Town are in the kind of trance just now.
"Sir, many residents of Red Arrow Town who came to feed them were killed in the hands of the magic bead monster."
Donna took a step forward, bowed to Lei Xiao again, and sighed: "This is still the safest situation, not to mention when collecting magic beads."
"Understood."
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao went straight to the door without hesitation.
With a wave of his hand, 100 neatly arranged magic cannons appeared out of thin air again.
"Erase all these monsters."
Nodding to Chao Yan and Ye Cang, Lei Xiao took the rest of his subordinates, Donna and others out of the giant cage-like breeding farm again.
To obtain the golden dragon, Lei Xiao had a hundred easier ways.
It is naturally impossible to allow this kind of thing to continue to exist on this land that already belongs to you.
Not long after Lei Xiao and his group walked out of the farm, the deafening sound of shelling echoed in their ears again.
It was only then that the cautious residents seemed to realize something and began to tentatively approach the group of people.
As the sound of gunfire intensified, the expressions on the faces of these residents became more and more anxious, as if they were waiting for an answer that would only appear in dreams.
"Brother, please...are you here to save us?"
After a while, a thin little boy with a muddy face grabbed the mother's tattered sleeves and timidly walked out. Blinking his big innocent eyes, he looked at Lei Xiao expectantly.
Surrounded by his subordinates, Lei Xiao slowly walked up to the other party, leaned down, touched the little boy's head, and said with a smile: "Yes, from now on, as long as I am still on this land , no one can continue to restrain your footsteps, and no one will put heavy shackles on you."
At this moment, amid the sound of artillery fire that was still ringing out.
Although Lei Xiao's voice was not loud, it still caused an uproar among the surrounding crowd.
For a moment, everyone, men, women, old and young, started to cheer and jump after being stunned for a moment. Many people even cried with joy and hugged each other.
At this moment, everyone present clearly understood in their hearts.
The long cold night has passed.
The new warm sun is rising.
It was precisely because of the appearance of this indifferent young man in front of him that this town, which had been shrouded in darkness for a long time, finally ushered in the dawn again!
Suddenly realizing this, pairs of grateful and longing eyes began to project towards Lei Xiao.
"Sir, the breeding farm has been completely cleared."
Immediately, Ye Cang and Chao Yan appeared in front of Lei Xiao again.
“Very good.”
With a slight nod, Lei Xiao took a step forward and first put the magic cannon at the entrance of the breeding farm and the Earth Guardian back into his pocket.
Then, he left the cheering crowd and, under the guidance of Donna, went straight to the main palace of Red Arrow Town not far away.
After a detailed search, except for some ordinary supplies and more than 50,000 golden dragons, there was no other harvest.
"Donna, come alone with me."
Nodding to the female mercenary captain, Lei Xiao, surrounded by his subordinates, took her to a closed room.
Next, it is naturally time to reach the most important part of conquering.
"Now that this place has been managed by the female mercenary captain, it is undoubtedly an urgent matter to turn it into a direct subordinate of me. Only in this way can I facilitate remote management."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but show a hint of contemplation, and said to himself: "Currently, this female mercenary captain is at the peak level of the second level, and I only have three unupgraded second-level recruitment orders on my body."
"It seems that, just like yesterday, it is time to upgrade and use it now."
Without hesitation, Lei Xiao directly started to upgrade one of them.
[Congratulations, your "Second Level Recruitment Order" has been upgraded to 102 "Second Level Recruitment Orders"! 】
Upon hearing the prompt, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
Immediately, he followed the others, released the illusion disguise on his body, and appeared in front of Donna with his true face.
As usual, after Lei Xiao revealed all his identity, he didn't waste much time.
The shocked Donna knelt down in front of Lei Xiao and lowered her head deeply: "My subordinate, Donna Maidong, is willing to swear allegiance to the lord to the death!"
"Let's start signing the contract."
With a slight nod, a brand new second-level recruitment order flashed out from Lei Xiao's hand.
A moment later, the familiar prompt sounded to his ears again.
[Congratulations, the second-level nine-star wind swordsman Donna Maidong has signed a master-servant contract with you and has become your new subordinate! 】
Upon hearing this, Lei Xiao helped the opponent up and opened the opponent's attribute bar.
【Name: Donna】
【Occupation: Wind Swordsman】
[Level: Second Level Nine Stars]
【Loyalty: 100】
[Skill 1: Three consecutive blasts of wind "Active" (physical single target attack)]
[Skill 2: Flash of Wind "Active" (physical single target attack, additional armor-piercing effect)]
[Skill Three: One-Handed Sword Mastery "Passive" (When using a one-handed sword, the damage will be slightly increased)]
Nodding with satisfaction, Lei Xiao's mind moved.
1 rose energy gathering pill, 1 storage ring, 1 brand new set of third-level leather armor and third-level long sword, 50 Qi Condensation Pills, 50 first-level magic potions, 50 second-level magic potions, and 50 The offensive third-level potion scroll appeared on the table beside it with dark light bursting.
At the same time, there were ten boxes with one hundred thousand golden dragons neatly arranged aside.
For a time, the room was filled with splendor and fragrance.
Donna was stunned, her long eyelashes flickering, she couldn't believe her eyes.
She had never seen such a magnificent scene, even in her dreams!
After introducing these priceless items one by one, Lei Xiao smiled calmly and said: "I'll refine the rose energy gathering pill by myself in a while. Just think of it as a meeting gift from me. It's enough to make people who are already in the second generation... After staying at the nine-star level for a while, you break through the shackles and directly reach the third level.”
"Of course, there is also a set of third-level equipment and storage rings, and the 50 Qi Condensing Pills are for your team members to use. Let them all reach the second-level nine-star level as soon as possible and become the backbone of helping you manage this place. .”
"At that time, based on their performance, I will consider promoting them to the third level of power."
"As for the remaining many healing potions, third-level attack scrolls, and one hundred thousand golden dragons, they are naturally used to help you defend Red Arrow Town and hire other mercenaries."
Having said this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly, indicating that the other party could start taking it.
"Yes! Lord!"
Hearing this, Donna's well-proportioned body trembled slightly, and she was so excited that she could hardly speak. She had no choice but to lower her head deeply to Lei Xiao again.
The total value of these items, even if she didn't eat or drink, and worked for thousands of years, she might not be able to afford them all!
"Get up."
Smiling slightly, Lei Xiao said again: "We will leave for Songluo City in a while. After a while, Marquis Luoji, who covers the sky with his hands, will leave everything in Red Arrow Town to you."
"Remember, this time our identity is still a force under one of the other two princes. Only in this way can we transfer the attention of the eldest prince to the other two princes."
After saying that, Lei Xiao gently patted Donna on the shoulder.
"I obey! Lord, please rest assured!"
Nodding heavily, Donna responded with a serious face.
"In addition, there is only one task in Red Arrow Town during this period, which is to rebuild the town. Sufficient food and other living materials must be distributed to all residents every day. The matter of garrisoning mercenaries cannot be delayed for a moment. We must form a mercenary force of a thousand people as soon as possible.”
After pondering for a while, Lei Xiao continued to add: "If you need anything, just contact me at any time by reading."
"Yes! Lord!"
Donna bowed again and accepted the order.
"Okay, now that everything is arranged, it's time for us to set off."
Nodding towards Donna, Lei Xiao turned around and said to the other subordinates: "Let's go, it's time to meet that Marquis Rocky." (End of Chapter)
