537. Chapter 536 Determined


"Lord, what the teller said before is right. The mercenary guild does cover the entire empire.

And unlike those mages who are indifferent to the outside world, the mercenaries are generally very united. You are so If we do this, we will offend all the mercenaries in the entire empire."

Xu Lai frowned and said, "Then I should let them put our bounty at the top of the list. Go up?”

Jilong was speechless, and finally had to say: “In addition to having a huge influence on mercenaries, the mercenary guild also has a significant influence on merchants.

Once the mercenary guild announces sanctions against a certain force or city, there are often fewer caravans going to that city

You also know that before you swept away the horse bandits in the grassland, the major caravans were greatly harmed by these horse thieves.

In addition to horse thieves, there are also thieves, robbers, bandits and pirates.

Once the mercenary guild imposes sanctions on a certain city, all mercenaries who have joined the mercenary guild will no longer be able to undertake missions to that city.

Without the protection of these mercenaries, most caravans would not dare to go to these cities. "

This time it was Xu Lai's turn to be silent. If the caravan did not dare to come, how could we talk about economic development.

Those who have the ability to form their own caravans and escorts are large-scale chambers of commerce, and the support of major lords is indispensable behind them.

However, as far as the grassland area is concerned, most of the nobles should have been offended by Xu Lai, so it seems unrealistic to expect the local chamber of commerce in the grassland.

"What's more, even if you force the Mercenary Guild to withdraw such a mission, the Thieves Guild will still be involved.

Over the years, most of these bounty missions have been It is done by people from the Dark Alliance, and they usually only go to the Thieves Guild to accept bounties and receive rewards.”

Jilong really thinks about Xu Lai, and their whole family’s names are on it at this time. He can also persuade Xu Lai to calm down.

Xu Lai had also calmed down a long time ago. He did not fall out directly in the mercenary hall, he was already restraining himself.

After coming out, Xu Lai also thought about related issues and considered the consequences.

Although his considerations were not as detailed as Jilong's, in general, he could accept no matter what the consequences were.

A person has a face, and a tree has a skin.

Xu Lai had already occupied the city, and as a result, the largest organization in the city openly placed a bounty on his head and hung it in the highest and most conspicuous place.

If Xu Lai didn't even deal with this and turned a blind eye, he would never be able to truly rule this city.

In the eyes of most businessmen and powerful people, Xu Lai is just a clown-like existence.

You can tell just by looking at the mercenary guild, how a little teller, who is not even a professional, can look down on Xu Lai with a contemptuous tone.

As for the consequences, from Xu's point of view, all the consequences are nothing compared to the words of giving power to the barrel of a gun.

This is a world of power. As long as he is strong, others will only surrender to him.

Before today, Xu Lai never had much ambition.

As the saying goes, those who achieve great things have great ambitions. Xu Lai didn't even have any great ambitions. He just ran around here, looked there, and just took things as they came.

The reason for grabbing Aini's territory was firstly because Aini went too far, and secondly because Qingfeng City was too small, and Xu Lai provoked too many and too powerful enemies.

Without grabbing Aini’s territory, Xu Lai was worried that he would have no strategic depth at all when someone finally came to his door.

And relying on only one city, the reserve of troops and economic capabilities will be extremely severely restricted. Even if Xu Lai actively develops affiliated towns and villages, it will not be enough.

If we don't take in all the existing cities on the grassland, how long will it take Xu Lai Monkey to raise tens of thousands of troops?

But even if he robbed Aini's territory, Xu Lai's purpose was just to protect himself, and he never thought about anything more profound.

However, today, Xu Lai was somewhat stimulated.

Before today, he only wanted to defeat Aini's allies and occupy their cities.

But now, Xu Lai no longer thinks like this. He believes that he must capture the entire grassland and then eliminate all discordant sounds on the grassland.

He wants to be the ruler of the grassland, or even go one step further, to be the king of the grassland.

The first step in ruling the grassland is to let all his opponents and enemies see what will happen to those who disobey him.

There are only more than 200 knights in the two teams, but they are knights, and they look mighty with their mounts.

Jimmy first commanded a group of knights and surrounded the entrances and exits of the mercenary guild.

After that, without getting off his horse, he led another group of knights and rushed into the mercenary hall with both men and horses.

Those who can be mercenaries must at least be professionals. Ordinary civilians are seeking death if they become mercenaries.

Although the door of the mercenary hall is spacious enough, there are more than a dozen steps, and Jimmy and the others cannot increase their speed for a while.

Therefore, as long as you are not a fool, there is no risk of being hit by the knights.

The knights have already rushed in. It can be said that the mercenary family's face has been completely ruined, and both sides have completely turned against each other.

After falling out, there is only one consideration, and that is how to defeat the other party.

Although Jilong was young, he was quite decisive in doing things. After seeing this scene, he stopped persuading and said to Xu Lai:

"Lord, can you hand over the swordsmen and knights you have recruited these days first?" As for me, I will seal the teleportation array.”

Only mages can host the teleportation array, but the Mages Guild is also an old force that has been in Conaston for a long time.

Although Xu Lai has only opened a teleportation route to Martell City.

But if someone takes the opportunity to open other transmission routes and let the Mercenary Association or Aini reinforcements come in, it will be more troublesome.

However, Xu Lai shook his head and said: "No need, it would be just fine if someone comes over.

Take them and the security team to block the east and west streets.

No matter what the people over there want Come over, if anyone here wants to come over, stop them all.

If anyone disobeys the order, they will be killed without mercy.” They also shouted over together, and now they were hovering overhead.

If he could still let people run away like this, then Xu Lai would be considered lucky.

But if someone at the teleportation array cooperates, then Xu Lai can just use this as an excuse to rectify the Magic Guild as well.

The mages of the Magic Guild acted calmly and cooperatively.

However, these mages were all recruited by Aini, how could Xu Lai trust them.

Usually, these mages are very cooperative. The president even rushed all the way to Qingfeng City to build a teleportation array for Xu Lai.

If Xu Lai bullied his subordinates while the other party was away, Xu Lai himself would not be able to bear it.

When Elvi and Jilong were in place, Xu Lai shook the cloak on his body, and Roland quickly helped him hold it. The sun shines on the magical armor that is fully illuminated, and the colorful artifact light is constantly flowing from the various parts of the Angel Alliance.

"Sir, please don't go in."

After all, it is a mercenary guild. This is a group of people who are best at fighting alone and cooperating in small groups. Their equipment may not be as luxurious as the nobles, but it must be the most suitable for their use.

Moreover, after excluding the surrounding knights, our own side must be at a disadvantage in terms of manpower.

The mercenary hall is not an open-top building. If Elvi and the others stay outside, they will not be able to receive support in time.

Xu Lai shook his head and said: "If even I, the rightful owner, dare not show up, then what can I do to intimidate others?"

Speaking of this, Xu Lai paused. After a pause, he patted Roland on the shoulder and said, "Besides, I still have you.

At any time, as long as you are by my side, I don't have to worry about my own safety."


"It is my mission to protect you!"

Roland stood up straight with a snap. Even though his loyalty was at full level, Roland was sincerely moved by this feeling of being recognized.

The atmosphere in the military hall was tense.

Although Jimmy rushed in with the knights, he had the same idea as Jilong and did not want to break up with the mercenary guild.

He just received a communication from Xu Lai, asking him to lead his troops over immediately and prepare for battle.

Jimmy thought Xu Lai had encountered some danger in the mercenary guild, and he wanted to bring someone over immediately.

Fortunately, Xu Lai said he was fine and asked him to guard every entrance and exit to prevent any mercenary from leaving.

Although Xu Lai said that he was fine, his order clearly meant that he had encountered some trouble here.

So, Jimmy rushed in with people without saying a word.

What was embarrassing was that he did not find Xu Lai in the crowd.

The Mercenary Guild's reaction was also very quick. After all, someone broke into his home.

Dozens of high-level mercenaries, wearing various types of equipment, drew their swords, carried their shields, or hid in the distance or high places, aiming their bows and arrows at Jimmy.

The president of the guild was a sturdy middle-aged man. He didn’t show any weapons. He stood in front of Jimmy’s horse with his head held high, raised his neck and shouted at Jimmy:

"Viscount Martell, do you think of Kaunaston Castle as your city of Martell?

If you want to show off your majesty as the new city lord, please come back to your Go to Martell City, you are not welcome in Conaston Castle!”

Jimmy frowned. He knew that there were many people in this city who looked down on him, and there were also many people who were dissatisfied with him.

But no matter what, he is the current master of this city.

After being shouted out in public and told to go back to Martell City, does Jimmy really have no shame at all?

Jimmy raised his head and said to the president of the mercenary guild:

"Mohan, give you a chance. If you cancel this mission now, I can still be this person. It didn't happen.

Otherwise..."

"Otherwise what? Do you really want to fight with our mercenary guild? Do you have the courage? If you really take action, do you think you can get out of here alive? "

Jimmy glanced around. The low-level mercenaries did not dare to look at him at all.

However, in the hall, in addition to the mercenary guild's own guards, there were also There are many mercenaries eager to try.

After all, his reward is also hanging at the top of the mercenary guild.

Killing him during the chaos, and then exchanging a reward of hundreds of thousands of gold coins, and having no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life, is probably what most mercenaries are willing to do.

Being stared at by so many people like prey, even if there were nearly a hundred well-trained professional knights behind him, Jimmy couldn't help but feel guilty.

This is not a battlefield. The battlefield may seem dangerous, but in fact, he is protected by personal guards, and he himself is relatively safe.

But these mercenaries with their blades licking blood are not the soldiers who follow the rules on the battlefield.

They are not constrained by formations, so they may be vulnerable in a frontal battle, but if it is against him, Jimmy, then even if he wins the battle, there is a high probability that he will explain it here.

Not to mention others, the seventh-level sword master in front of him alone has the strength to kill him.

Jimmy was so angry that his face turned red, but he still suppressed his anger and said: "Mohan, your mercenary guild must be an enemy of Mr. Xu Lai, right?

Do the seven mercenary kings of your association know? Do they agree?"

Mohan said unceremoniously: "Don't use them to pressure me. Someone posted a task, and the poster neither died nor canceled the task.

The task has not expired, and the publisher has paid a sufficient deposit and has the ability to continue paying the task rewards. Of course, this task will always be listed in the task system of our mercenary guild.

If you have the ability, kill the task poster. Without the poster, wouldn't the task be canceled naturally? "

Crack, Jimmy's fist clenched.

However, Mohan on the opposite side was not afraid at all. The knight just had stronger defense and thicker health.

Even sitting on a tall horse, Mohan is sure to penetrate the opponent's throat in an instant

Although Jimmy was wearing armor, he did not wear a full-face helmet like those on the battlefield.

Feeling the killing intent from Mohan, Jimmy wanted to retreat.

It’s just that he hasn’t found Xu Lai yet, so he leaves at this time, and it’s hard to explain to Xu Lai.

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, Xu Lai finally walked in with Roland.

Seeing Xu Lai, Jimmy breathed a sigh of relief.

Maybe the armor couldn't protect his whole body. Even a face-covering helmet would still leave holes for his eyes.

With Mohan's swordsmanship, he could pierce his eyes with that kind of thin sword.

With Xu Lai here and the powerful hero power, any damage he suffers will be reduced by defensive spells.

This is the scary thing about heroes. They have to stand on the battlefield. Even if they do nothing, they can strengthen the soldiers under their command dozens of times.

Seeing Xu Lai, Mohan, who had been a little arrogant in front of Jimmy just now, calmed down the ferocity on his face and hurriedly greeted him.

"Your Excellency Xu Lai, what brought you here? If you have anything to say to me, just send someone over to let me know."

With one step, Mercenary Guild Leader Mohan has already left. A smile appeared on his face, and his smile was sincere and contagious.

Xu Lai had been blinded by this warm smile before. If he hadn't come to inspect it in person, he would never have thought that behind this warm smile, there was a lot of evil. (End of this chapter)
