There are far more than 23 mercenary groups in Conaston, but only these 23 companies have accepted the bounty mission.
Xu Lai did not have the time or energy to check all the information on the mercenary guild one by one.
Even if he doesn't check it himself, he doesn't have the manpower.
Besides, Mohan has leaked the secrets of the mercenary guild and has offended almost all the mercenaries. It is conceivable that the mercenary guild in Conaston will inevitably decline.
Even, this decline will spread to other cities.
Therefore, it was even more unnecessary for Mo Han to completely offend Xu Lai for the sake of an irreversible situation.
It doesn't matter if he hides one or two mercenary groups. Unless he can guarantee that this secret will not be leaked for the rest of his life, the day he is discovered will definitely be his death.
The most troublesome thing is that after doing this, he doesn't even dare to leave Conaston now.
Because he knew that once he went to other cities, the mercenary groups he betrayed would not let him go.
As for the Mercenary Association, if they don't take the initiative to retaliate, they have done their best, and providing shelter is a no-brainer.
Since he can't even escape, how dare Mohan offend his only escape now.
This is also an important reason why Mohan has become more dog-legged in the past two days.
Before Xu Lai settled in Conaston, Mohan had always had a good relationship with Aini. Even after Xu Lai settled in, Mohan was more optimistic about Aini.
Mohan and most of the powerful people in Conaston prefer to see Aini reoccupy Conaston, and also believe that Aini has a better chance of final victory than Xu Lai.
Otherwise, without Mohan’s acquiescence, who among the leadership and staff of the mercenary guild would have the courage to continue such a fatal task?
Of course, after this incident, Mohan did not dare to continue to please both sides.
If Aini knew that Mohan had sent away all the mercenary groups that supported him, the other party would never spare him.
So, Mo Han has probably transitioned into Xu Lai's camp now.
As for whether it is reliable, Xu Lai still needs to continue to observe.
With the help of Mohan, the mercenary leader, Xu Lai felt much more relaxed.
At the very least, he had professional people who could help him handle the information on the underground mercenaries, Dark Alliance killers, and Thieves Guild members.
When the formal liquidation operation begins the day after tomorrow, it should not be a problem for Mohan and his mercenary guild to even contribute some of their troops to help deal with some characters like Little Karami.
The other mercenary groups have already completed all the procedures in the past two days.
Other mercenary groups whose headquarters are not in Conaston are in some trouble and need to communicate with the headquarters.
But the seven mercenary groups whose headquarters are in Conaston have not made any movement until now.
The backgrounds of these mercenary groups are all relatively complex. Most of them are retired from the military, and the vast majority of those in leadership positions are former military officers.
These people are undoubtedly supporters of Aini.
It is not easy to establish a mercenary group in Conaston.
In addition to meeting the standards of the mercenary guild, having a large enough scale and a certain number of masters, you also need to have a stable base to form a group.
Obviously, only Aini is qualified to provide such a residence.
Even if the members of the mercenary group paid for the purchase with their own money, they still need Aini's permission.
Aini also took the opportunity to arrange a better position for his cronies and confidants in the army, and let the mercenary group take care of him in his old age.
The leaders of the mercenary group also wanted to take advantage of Aini's power. The two sides hit it off immediately, and one was willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer.
However, once the city changes its owner, the land, buildings, and a series of other privileges promised by Aini may not count.
"Jimmy, when will your troops arrive?"
Xu Lai set the date of settlement in three days because Jimmy's troops should be able to arrive in these two days.
Although there are some prisoners mixed in, the officers are all our own, and the entire army can be used stably.
With the participation of more than 7,000 people, Conaston's strength, including his own, is more than 10,000. It is not a big problem to clear out a few mercenary groups.
Jimmy said slightly embarrassed: "There was a little situation on the way. Some prisoners wanted to defect, which caused a little chaos and delayed a little time."
Xu Lai waved his hand and said: "I don't want to know the process, just tell me when your people will arrive and whether I can count on them the day after tomorrow."
Jimmy stood up in a hurry and promised: "They will definitely arrive tomorrow, please don't worry."
After Xu Lai nodded, he added: "Then, President Mohan, it's time for you to clean up the door.
I don’t need you to participate in the frontal battle, but I am worried about the consequences of the actions the day after tomorrow, so the security team cannot be dispatched.
I hope that you and your people, The most important thing to help maintain order is to prevent the leaders of the mercenary group from escaping.
As for ordinary mercenaries, they will just run away.
But these leaders of the mercenary group, especially the leaders of the mercenary group who are closely related to Aini, I hope that they can appear in front of me one by one. "
Speaking of this, Xu glanced at Mohan and said: "I think you probably know better than me which mercenary group leader has a better relationship with Aini. ”
Mohan swallowed, knowing that Xu Lai wanted to cut off his retreat and let him completely break with Aini.
He himself also knew that the first rat People at both ends often have no good end, so he stood up decisively and replied:
"Don't worry, leave this matter to me. I will keep a close eye on those people and never give them any trouble." Their chance to escape. ”
Speaking of this, Mohan hesitated, and finally asked: "Your Excellency Xu Lai, why don't we attack directly tonight.
Give them three days to prepare, the variables are too great.< br>
Normally at night, there will not be too many people in the mercenary group's station. Even if Viscount Jimmy's men have not arrived yet, we can organize some elite forces to conduct a raid and we can still clear out these leaders.
As long as the leader is killed, ordinary mercenaries will be useless. Once your soldiers arrive, they will have no choice but to surrender and be imprisoned to wait for processing."
After Xu Lai thought about it, He shook his head and said: "No, I am an upright teacher and can defeat my opponent in an upright manner.
I just want all the opposition forces in Conaston to watch. Even if I give them three days to prepare, they can't come up with any tricks.
After this battle, Conaston will surely be able to completely settle down, and there will no longer be anyone who is acting here and there. ”
Mo Han looked at a loss and couldn’t understand the idioms Xu Lai said, but he could understand what Xu Lai wanted to say.
This is the magic of these heavenly heroes. There was no language barrier at all
Xu Lai didn't want to be trapped in Conaston for too long, so he had long wanted to find an opportunity to wipe out all the opposition forces.
Therefore, these three days were given to them by Xu Lai on purpose, hoping that they could take advantage of these three days to communicate and collude.
Xu Lai is making troop arrangements here to ensure that all the leaders of the mercenary groups, especially Aini's supporters, can be wiped out in one fell swoop.
The mercenary captains who were being plotted by Xu Lai were also discussing their own strategies.
Being temporarily blocked in the city for two days, the problem is not too big.
Xu Lai has not and will not completely blockade the city. If so many people in the city are blocked, a lot of people will starve to death. But it’s not a big problem now, which doesn’t mean it won’t be a big problem tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
"Captain, please make a decision quickly. Today there have been several newcomers who have just joined the group and left the group without even saying hello.
Over there at the Mercenary Guild , and even ignored our opinions at all, and went through the formalities for them directly. "
The head of the group has a tall and tall figure, and a square face full of sadness.
“This is nothing surprising. It is said that they killed corpses everywhere in the mercenary guild that day.
Mohan is old and has no responsibilities, so it is inevitable to give in to Xu Lai. "
"The Tigers sent an envoy and invited us to discuss countermeasures together tomorrow. I think he wants to form an alliance with us.
Moreover, it is said that the Tigers have recruited at least three local mercenary groups, and their four mercenary groups combined have over a thousand people. "
After the square-faced man glanced at the deputy captain beside him, he said in a deep voice: "So, do you also think that we should form an alliance with them? "
The deputy captain gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, rather than being targeted, it is better to just give it a try.
The guy surnamed Xu came here for us. My friend in the mercenary guild told me that it was the guy surnamed Xu who specially transferred all the detailed information of our seven guilds.
This guy clearly wants to kill us. "
After a moment of silence, the square-faced leader asked the other deputy leader:
"Qiuqiu, what do you think? ”
The person called Qiuqiu is a young woman.
Qiuqiu is not only a young woman, but also a hero descended from heaven, and her level is not low.
It can be said that the mercenary group paid a heavy price for Qiuqiu to reach his current level.
Of course, this price has been paid off. With Qiuqiu's blessing, all mercenaries below the vice president can receive huge improvements.
It is precisely because of Qiuqiu that the ranking of their Rainbow Mercenary Group has risen again and again. They are now among the top three top mercenary groups in Conaston.
“Xu Lai, I have inquired about his deeds, and I think he is generally a good person.
At least compared to that old guy Aini, Xu Lai is much better.
And all in all, our relationship with Aini is not that deep.
I heard that all of Aini’s shops in the city were taken back and re-rented.
However, Xu Lai still gave those businessmen a three-month transition period, and if the original owner continued to rent, he would still have priority. "
"What do you mean by that? "The other deputy leader immediately became vigilant.
Qiuqiu did not continue to cover up, but said simply: "I mean, why can't we cooperate with Xu Lai?
Our guild's previous ranking was not high, and the connection with Aini It's not too deep.
And I went to inquire about it. Many businessmen came here to do business after knowing that Xu Lai occupied Conaston.
It is said that it was because of Xu Lai. Qingfeng City's public security and various policies are very good.
As soon as he took office, he immediately introduced various policies to promote business development and benefit the common people.
Just by canceling the city entry tax, poll tax and other exorbitant taxes, we don’t know how much money will be saved for our mercenary group every year.
As far as I know, many low-level mercenaries are actually very supportive of Xu Lai.
If we blindly confront Xu Lai, we will only end up in the end of betrayal and alienation.
This is when we unite together and are lucky enough to be able to protect ourselves.
But I guess, if we have to confront Xu Lai head-on.
Not to mention just our few mercenary groups uniting, even if all the mercenaries in the city unite together, they will only be crushed into pieces.
In addition, that old guy Aini, even if he can retake Conaston, believe it or not, he will only double exploit us.
So, I really don’t know what reason we have to continue to support Aini. "
The square-faced captain nodded, and then glanced at the deputy captain and several other captains responsible for leading the team.
"Even so, he is just a mere coming hero. , why should we fight against the nobles of the entire grassland?
Although Count Ani is a bit greedy, we have invested hundreds of thousands of gold coins in him. Now that we are breaking up with him, wouldn't those previous investments be wasted? "
Qiuqiu shook her head silently, too lazy to continue paying attention to the deputy leader, but looked at Fang Zheng's face expectantly.
Seeing this, Fang Zheng's face also sighed. : "What Blois said makes sense. Xu Lai is weak on his own, so I am not optimistic about him.
If we turn to him now, we may end up even more miserable in the future.
In my opinion, we might as well spend some money and get an understanding from Xu Lai.
From now on, everyone will not interfere with each other and live in peace.
In this way, if Xu Lai is defeated in the future, we will not be harmed. "
The girl called Qiuqiu laughed angrily: "My leader, are you stupid?
Now that someone has made it clear that we will take sides, do you think someone like him would take a fancy to the savings of a small mercenary group like ours?
I'm not afraid of saying something ugly. Even if you sell all the assets of the entire mercenary group, including the people, how many gold coins can you sell for it?
Look, when you send the money over, will Xu Lai look at you more?
Do you think you have a choice? "
The leader of the dignified mercenary group did not get angry when his subordinates pointed at him and scolded him.
Even the captains sitting in the hall looked like they were used to it. Look.
“Look, don’t be anxious, can’t you just say something? ”
The head of the group reassured him in a low voice.
Qiuqiu rolled her eyes at him and snorted coldly:
"I heard from other heroes that Xu Lai will summon all the heroes in Kaonaston tomorrow and say that he will take the exam. The villages, manors and towns near Naston have been sent out.
I think he must be very short of manpower now. If we take refuge with him now, it will be a help in times of need.
We can wait until tomorrow. However, even if you want to seek refuge with him, it is just icing on the cake at best and is completely worthless.”
Qiuqiu is indispensable to the Rainbow Mercenary Group's achievements today.
And for reasons well known to everyone, Qiuqiu is now not only the deputy leader, but also the only person who can legitimately supervise his own leader.
Even Blois, who was the deputy leader, could only bow his head and endure it when Qiuqiu scolded him.
“Well, you have always had an idea, so if we get closer to Xu Lai, will he be willing to accept us?
After all, we were all Aini’s people before, Can he believe us so easily?”
Qiuqiu patted her plump chest and said, "Don't worry, I'll go tomorrow too, and I'll meet him personally." (End of Chapter)
