Chapter 393 Bert’s Past
"For your information, Lord, my subordinates have taken care of all the aftermath matters."
I saw Bolen, who had changed into a clean aristocratic dress, bowing, first stroking his chest and saluting: "Currently, the restoration work of Shanjing Principality is proceeding in an orderly manner."
"Thank you for your hard work, how are the losses?"
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao asked while gesturing to A Ling to serve tea to the two of them.
"Back to the lord, the attack of the necromancer Baron was so unexpected that three third-level elders from his family and more than 30 elite soldiers of the second-level guard squadron were all killed in the opponent's body. In hand.”
With a heavy sigh, Bolun's old face was full of sadness.
After a pause, he said with gratitude again: "However, because the lord took action in time, fortunately, the residents, outsiders, and the garrison in the city almost did not suffer any losses. It was only some buildings in the city that were inevitably damaged. There was some damage to the ground.”
"I understand."
Lei Xiao stood up from the sofa, patted Bo Lun's shoulder gently to express comfort, and said sternly: "Don't worry, when the time is right, I will arrest all those guys who hired Baron." Come out and wipe them all out as a sacrifice to these victims.”
"Thank you very much, Lord!"
Bolen bowed again, his old face full of gratitude.
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao seemed to have remembered something, and then said: "By the way, these things will be regarded as my meeting gifts."
After he finished speaking, Lei Xiao waved his hand, and the huge room suddenly shone brightly, almost completely filled with boxes upon boxes of golden dragons.
For a time, in a space of nearly a hundred square meters, except for the gate and the location of everyone.
There was a golden light everywhere, making it difficult to open one's eyes.
"This, this is...?!"
After being stunned for a moment, Bolen and Celia suddenly showed expressions of disbelief, almost unable to believe their eyes.
You know, just like what Lei Xiao learned before.
In order to avoid other races, the Shanjing Principality had to be located in a remote place. The gold coin reserves in the treasury only hovered around 100,000 coins all year round.
At present, the number of gold coins in this room obviously far exceeds this number by more than ten times, or even dozens of times!
Such a huge amount of gold coins is something that even Bo Lun, the Grand Duke of Shanjing, has never seen in his life!
"Here are 3 million golden dragons."
Looking at the stunned expressions of the two men, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and said: "These golden dragons are enough to raise the strength of the Shanjing Principality and even the quality of life of the residents in the city to a higher level."
Currently, Lei Xiao has a total of 11.5 million golden dragons. It will not be a problem to spend 3 million.
"On behalf of the people of Shanjing Principality, I would like to thank you Lord very much!"
Bo Lun was already so excited that he couldn't control himself, and he quickly bowed his head deeply to Lei Xiao again.
"There is no need to be polite, Archduke Bollen, this is just the beginning."
Taking a sip of the fragrant tea in the cup, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
After that, Lei Xiao asked Bo Lun some questions about the strength of the Shanjing Principality, and finally found out.
At this stage, it is just like what the short and fat businessman mentioned before.
Shanjing Principality has a total of 5 full garrison brigades, including 1 light cavalry brigade, 1 archer brigade, and 3 light infantry brigade, with a total of 5,000 people.
The elite second-order Guards force has three squadrons, one heavy infantry squadron, one archer squadron, and most of the light infantry squadron, totaling 270 people.
As for the number of third-level powerhouses, in addition to Boren himself, there are still 8 people left, namely the captains of 5 garrison brigades and the squadron captains of 3 guards squadrons.
In addition, there are many reserve forces in the city, but due to limited funds, these forces have never had the opportunity to be recruited.
"Understood."
After listening to Bo Lun's introduction, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
With the addition of Shanjing Principality, his overall combat power has indeed been greatly improved.
The most important thing is that this geographical location on the border between Lengyan and Shengye is undoubtedly very important to me.
Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, and then ordered: "Grand Duke Bolun, starting from today, mobilize all the reserve forces in the city. We must intensify training and form new combat effectiveness as soon as possible. Don't worry about the funding problem. If If you have any questions, just contact me anytime.”
"I obey! Lord, please rest assured!"
Bolen immediately nodded without hesitation, bowed and accepted the order.
At this moment, Buren was already too excited to control himself.
With 3 million golden dragons and Lei Xiao as his backing, he will no longer have any worries!
"Next, let's go to the castle's equipment warehouse and take a look."
Looking at Bo Lun's excited old face, Lei Xiao nodded slightly and then took his own steps.
Under the guidance of Bolen and Celia, Lei Xiao noticed after arriving at the equipment warehouse not far away.
The situation here is almost the same as in Kongqing Town before.
Except for some old and mottled equipment on the display rack at the door, the rest of the place is empty.
"I'm very sorry, Lord. Before you arrived, the garrison strength of 5,000 people was already the limit of this city, leaving almost no excess equipment reserves here."
Bolen smiled awkwardly, then bowed and explained.
For a moment, because the warehouse was too empty, his voice became a little hollow.
"It doesn't matter, it won't take long before there will be inexhaustible equipment here."
Smiling slightly, Lei Xiao casually waved his hand, and piles of light and heavy armors, large shields, daggers, heavy bows, and a large number of other weapons and equipment that exuded splendor suddenly appeared out of thin air, filling the surroundings of everyone.
Seeing this scene, Bolen and Celia naturally fell into a state of sluggishness again uncontrollably.
“Here are 100 sets of third-level heavy infantry equipment: heavy armor, short swords, and large shields, 100 sets of third-level archer equipment: leather armor with heavy bow, and 100 sets of third-level light infantry equipment: light armor with long sword. , enough for three fully equipped second-order guards squadrons to change their uniforms.”
Looking at the stunned expressions of the two of them, Lei Xiao still maintained a faint smile.
Most of these third-level equipment were contributed by the previous Orc Legion.
A small number of them were upgraded from the trophies obtained from the Fanyin City auction, the border battlefield, and the first-level equipment replaced by the Snow Wolf Clan.
All in all, it undoubtedly fully meets the needs of the three elite second-tier squadrons here.
Looking at these colorful third-level equipment in front of them, Bolen and Celia, who were already stunned, needless to say how shocked they were.
Excited, they both lowered their heads to Lei Xiao again, swearing their loyalty.
You must know that the three second-level guard squadrons of Shanjing Principality were only equipped with the most common second-level equipment.
But even so, it is still an extremely huge expense for this hidden country of the Moon Wolf Clan, and it took a long time to gradually fund it.
And in this way, with all members equipped with third-level equipment, the strength of the three Guards squadrons will undoubtedly be improved to an epic level!
"Everyone, get up."
Waving his hand slightly, indicating that the two excited new subordinates did not need to be polite, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, after remembering that the main battle weapon used by Grand Duke Shanjing just now was just an ordinary third-level long sword.
His heart moved slightly again, and he handed over a fourth-level long sword, a set of fourth-level light armor, a brand-new storage ring [Eye of the Holy Meteor], and 500 second-level healing potions to Bolun. .
Needless to say, there is a set of fourth-level equipment suitable for its use, and 500 second-level healing potions are enough to increase the battlefield survival rate of Shanjing Principality's core force by several levels at once.
Afterwards, Lei Xiao handed over a pair of fourth-level claw thorns, two Qi Condensing Pills, a Rose Energy Condensing Pill, and an equally brand-new storage ring to Celia, and told her to practice well. .
These three magic potions are enough to advance Celia to the level of a third-level powerhouse.
"Thank you very much, Lord! Shanjing Principality is willing to go through fire and water for your Lord!"
Bolun and Celia, who had been in a state of excitement, once again couldn't help but fall deeply at Lei Xiao's feet.
Even in their dreams, the two of them had never thought about these precious items that Lei Xiao casually waved out!
"As I said just now, this is just the beginning."
Lei Xiao kept smiling, and after helping the two men up one after another, he slowly walked around the colorful equipment warehouse and continued: "Besides, as for the ordinary garrison soldiers of the 5 brigades, I All members will be replaced with second-level equipment as soon as possible.”
Having said this, Lei Xiao seemed to have remembered something, and added: "As for the old equipment that has been replaced, don't be in a hurry to deal with it. All of them are concentrated in the equipment warehouse. I will have other uses by then."
At this stage, although Lei Xiao no longer needs to worry about first- and second-level equipment.
But relatively speaking, equipment at the third level is still relatively scarce, especially at the fourth level.
Therefore, Lei Xiao naturally had to upgrade the replaced low-level equipment in batches to prepare for emergencies.
After all, the equipment of the third level is not something that can be obtained casually for many forces in this land.
"Yes! Lord!"
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, Bo Lun's old face was full of excitement and he bowed to Lei Xiao again.
You know, gathering together the first-level equipment used by five garrison brigades has already reached the limit of Shanjing Principality.
The second-level equipment for all members of the garrison will undoubtedly elevate the overall strength of this small country to a whole new level!
“Very good.”
Nodding with satisfaction, Lei Xiao took steps towards the outside of the equipment warehouse and said to Bolun and Celia: "By the way, I have one more important thing that I need to ask you."
After a moment, he returned to the luxurious VIP room. Lei Xiao, who had just sat down, did not hesitate.
Then he said to Bolen and Celia who were sitting at the bottom: "Next, we should talk about the great ax general Bert."
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao described in detail the ins and outs of his group's arrival in this city.
After listening to Lei Xiao's words, Bo Lun and Celia couldn't help but were silent for a while.
Immediately, Celia stood up from her seat first, bowed slightly and said: "Your Majesty, the reason why I pretended not to know the name Bert before is because I have never seen him before. Secondly, this name of my uncle is taboo in Shanjing Principality.”
"Your uncle?"
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and continued to listen.
"Lord, just as Celia said, Bert is my biological brother."
I saw Bolun sighing heavily, and then said: "However, thirty years ago, because of an incident, his subordinates and the entire family were disappointed with him, and then he was completely expelled from the Shanjing Principality. , prohibiting him from setting foot on this land again.”
Having said this, Bolen's old face was full of melancholy, and he shook his head helplessly.
After that, Lei Xiao learned about it through Bo Lun's narration.
As the heirs of the previous Shanjing Grand Master, Bert and Bolen, although they are brothers, their personalities are completely different.
As the elder brother, Bert is more extroverted and yearns for the outside world, while Burren is more introverted and only hopes to live peacefully at home.
This directly led to the fact that after the two of them came of age, Bert chose to leave Shanjing Principality to go out for training without hesitation, while Bolen naturally stayed at home.
"Before leaving, Bert once said to his subordinates that if he wants to change the world's impression of our Moon Wolf clan as being ferocious and violent, we must make some achievements and find a way for our Moon Wolf clan to achieve peace with other races. Ways to coexist.”
"However, there has been no news for nearly twenty years since I left. When my subordinates heard my brother's name again, it was him who was awarded the title of General of the Kingdom of Lengyan in the capital of Lengyan."
At this point, Bolen's old eyes were blurred, and he was obviously lost in memories.
"At the beginning, everyone in the family, including our surviving father, was overjoyed to learn this exciting news."
"After that, Bert also took leave from the royal capital as soon as possible and secretly returned to Shanjing Principality. Through his description, his subordinates learned that it turned out that in the third year of his training abroad, Bert accidentally saved He picked up an injured Leng Yan Army squadron leader and joined the Leng Yan Army by mistake.”
"In the past twenty years, Bert, as an ordinary human soldier, followed his regiment in the north and south. From the Fortress in the far north of the Cold Flame Kingdom to the rainforest fortress in the far south, he fought bloody battles. During this period, he died countless times. Escape.”
"Finally, after gradually accumulating military merit, he returned to the Capital of Lengyan, was named a general of the kingdom, and received the noble title of Earl of Lengyan."
"At that time, my subordinates were overjoyed when they learned all this. They chatted with my brother for several days and nights, listening to his thrilling and exciting battlefield stories."
Having said this, a heartfelt smile appeared on Bolen's face.
However, the smile disappeared in an instant, and a deep smile quickly appeared on Bolun's old face, causing the wrinkles on his forehead to become a little deeper again. (End of chapter)
