"Your Majesty, these are the signatures of the one hundred and thirty-two leaders, chiefs, clan chiefs, city lords, etc. present on the treaty. Please take a look at it."
There was a sound in the big tent, which made Xu Lai very upset. Customary title.
“I won’t read the signatures. Since you are the chief magic advisor, it shouldn’t be difficult to make hundreds of copies of these things and post them in every underground city, right?
Also, just like me, you can call me Lord. There is no need to mention this title in the future. "
It is not a very honorable thing to go to the underground world to become king. After all, no surface creature can look down upon underground creatures.
Xu Lai himself had no discriminatory intentions, but if others knew that he, a lord who only controlled a few cities, became king underground first, he would probably be laughed at.
The most important thing is that Xu Lai's own mentality has not actually changed from an ordinary person, to a hero, to a lord, and then to a king.
To put it simply, he has not been able to adapt to this new identity.
Jones doesn’t matter to them, it’s just a title anyway.
“Of course there is no problem.”
Xu Lai nodded and said: "Have you counted the outdoor buildings on the territory?
The recruitment quota for this month should still be there, but there are only two days left, so it may not be enough.
< br>I won’t punish you if you can’t complete the quota this month, but you must recruit the three buildings that I have highlighted.”
The three buildings that Xu Lai has highlighted, of course. There are three top outdoor recruitment buildings, an outdoor cloud city, an outdoor cloud palace and an outdoor phoenix nest.
The output of top-level recruiting buildings is not high and cannot be accumulated. As expected, there is only one quota.
For three seats, apart from being a little troublesome, it doesn't cost much money.
“If there are only these three buildings, the problem should not be big, but Lord, due to the current chaotic environment in the underground city, after Queen Moriel died, many lords also took the opportunity to declare independence.
Look, can we also make appropriate reductions in the next few months?”
Xu Lai narrowed his eyes, and Jones and others hurriedly lowered their heads, not daring to look at him.
Considering that what Jones and the others said is also the reality of the underground city today, Xu Lai thought for a while and said:
"Appropriate reductions and exemptions are OK. Next month, I require at least a 60% recruitment rate, and the next month it will be 80%. There will no longer be any reductions in the third month.
In addition, the Empire I need you to complete the camp’s field buildings first, are there any problems?”
A few people shook their heads, Xu Lai gave them three months, if they still can’t win the empire that no one wants underground. , barriers, elemental and other camp recruitment points are really a bit unreasonable.
“Let’s confirm the specific situation first. Although it is recorded on Moriel’s map, it is not detailed.
I need to know the total number of these wild recruitment points. , which recruitment buildings respectively. "
The map space is limited, so it is certainly impossible and unnecessary for the mapper to work on outdoor buildings that are not underground camps.
At most some high-end, top-level buildings, just record them a little.
For the rest, just mark the camp and tell the Queen that this is of no use to us.
“The specific building is still unknown, but according to common sense, the higher the level of the building, the rarer it is. In addition, the underground is not the home ground of the empire and other camps.
We estimate that the empire’s Among these more than 30 outdoor buildings, at least 1 level 7 angel, 10 level 6 knights, 30 level 5 priests, 60 level 4 swordsmen, more than 120 archers, crossbowmen, and about 500 people should be recruited. Infantry, Lancers, Peasants, etc. ”
Xu Lai thought about it for a while, and the general data should be like this.
However, in addition to these wild recruitment locations, there are many other places where soldiers can be obtained.
For example, treasure houses in the wild can often produce mid- to high-level warriors.
For example, in buildings such as refugee camps, soldiers from other camps will also flow to them.
At the moment, Xu Lai said again: "Then I will tentatively set this standard. If you can obtain soldiers from my empire camp through other channels, then I will give you a refund at twice the price of your recruitment fee.
At this price, even the merchants on the ground are willing to do this business.
You have so many underground passages under your control. If you go to other places, you should be able to get a lot of warriors from the empire camp. ”
Xu Lai knows very well that only long-term benefits can truly move people’s hearts.
The things he obtained from the dungeon are not a big deal for the entire dungeon camp. Bone.
If they continue to trade well with Xu Lai, they will make a lot of money. If the total transaction volume is high enough, they may be able to fully make up for their losses and still make some profit.
< br>
Of course, Xu Lai can also use the ground world and useless dungeon recruitment buildings for secondary use, and he will only earn more.
After the specific payment amount has been determined, the matter in the dungeon is basically completed.
Xu Lai did not station troops in the underground city, only Reina pushed all the way to Darkhor.
The city of Darkhor was also directly abandoned by the underground city under Xu Lai's suggestion.
After waiting a few days and bulldozing Darkhor, Xu Lai only had troops deployed in Mingyue City.
And that part of the army is worried about self-protection. If anything happens to the underground city, it is impossible to count on Mingyue City.
Although the two parties signed a contract, once Xu Lai left, it was hard to say whether the other party recognized it or not.
But there was nothing he could do, Xu Lai could only wait.
He can't beat someone up for no reason when they are still honest. That would be so presumptuous.
However, in order to show their sincerity, these people in the underground city finally did not let Xu Lai return empty-handed.
In addition to soldiers, Xu Lai also asked the underground camp to hand over 2 million gold coins and 50,000 units of rare resources every year.
As a result, these things were delivered to Xu Lai in just half a day after having dinner.
This shows that either people are prepared in advance, or the money and resources are really nothing to the dungeon.
Xu Lai's guess was not entirely correct. The main reason why they were able to deliver the supplies so quickly in the dungeon was because Moriel left a large amount of supplies.
Just as Jiron retorted before, the supplies left by Moriel are enough to feed the dungeon for many years.
What he was right about was that this little money and resources were really nothing to the underground city.
But it was picked up for nothing anyway, and there were more than a hundred soldiers from outdoor buildings mixed in. The recruitment fee for these soldiers alone was a huge sum of money.
Not to mention, there are dedicated personnel to recruit these soldiers and send them to Xu here.
You know, Xu Lai promised twice the recruitment fee in front of Jones and the others.
Excluding transportation costs, they have fully doubled the profit.
But when he was in Qingfeng City, he had already raised the price to three times the recruitment price, so he could only buy infantry, spearmen and the like that others didn't want.
Cavalry, archers, and crossbowmen all have to be tripled in price, with an appropriate increase in price.
Even if only calculated at three times the recruitment price, the dozens of outdoor buildings in the empire alone would save Xu Lai millions of gold coins every month.
In addition to the elements and barriers, it also includes the personnel mobilized and the cost of transportation. Although the price is much less than a simple tribute, it is a more cost-effective option for both parties.
After dinner, Xu Lai continued to recover his strength.
The basis for using the Gate of Time and Space is a large amount of physical strength.
But before returning to Qingfeng City, Xu Lai needs to praise the heroes this time.
He has always disliked verbal rewards. It just so happened that someone from the dungeon sent this year’s tribute.
Xu Lai took out one of the two giant gold coin boxes sent by Vickery from the dungeon on the spot and handed it to Jilong.
"What are you?"
Jilong looked puzzled. This gold coin box is much larger than the ordinary Vickery gold coin box, and its capacity is also much larger.
This giant gold coin box costs 50,000 gold coins alone and can store a full 1 million gold coins.
Watching Xu Lai hand over the gold coin box, Jones opened his mouth, but in the end he just sighed silently in his heart and said nothing.
These two gold coin boxes were originally used by him to transport gold coins conveniently. After all, using ordinary boxes, 2 million gold coins would have to be loaded on dozens of cars.
But looking at what it looks like now, let alone the gold coin box, his more expensive supply box that can hold 100,000 units of resources may not come back.
"If you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you make mistakes, you will be punished. This is what you deserve."
Jilong's eyes almost popped out, and he said in horror: "One, one million gold coins , This, this is really too much, my lord.”
“It’s not much, but sometimes, your few key words have a huge impact.
Besides, you also made great achievements for me when you were at Conaston Castle.
I didn't reward you specifically at that time, so I'll make up for it this time. If you follow me in the future, you'll probably have to suffer a lot. "
Jilong lowered his head in shame and said: "This is what I should do. When we were at Kaonaston Castle, you had already rewarded my father greatly. "
Xu Lai smiled and shook his head and said: "One code is one code, your father is your father, and you are you.
Anyone who helps me seriously should be rewarded, let alone you who have made great contributions. "
As he said that, Xu Lai said to Jones again: "It's the same for you all. Don't think that you are a person in the dungeon. I won't reward you if you make a contribution.
In my case, as long as you truly surrender to me, I will also truly protect you. "
Jones and others quickly bowed and saluted in response.
Xu Lai waved his hand and said: "Okay, everyone, go back first. This time in the dungeon is enough. Chaotic.
I will be leaving here later. Before I leave, you should exchange your magic communications with my adjutant, Mr. Giron.
I keep my word. If you encounter any trouble that cannot be solved, you can always ask me for help.
But the premise must not be that you bullied others and then were kicked out by others. ”
After explaining these dungeon species and taking a full rest, Xu came to a time and space gate and took Elvi and the others directly back to Mingyue City.
Leina’s The troops have not returned so soon. Xu Lai will definitely eat Darkhor and all nearby towns, villages, mines and various resource points.
But he doesn't want much. , that is, the territory of a main city is less than one percent of the dungeon camp.
Although a main city is precious, the people in the dungeon refuse to give up, and Reina can finally defeat it. It's just a matter of spending a little more time.
Leaving Ji Long behind, he was responsible for picking up Reina and explaining to Dill the agreement between Xu Lai and the dungeon.
Xu Lai took Yu Lan and hurriedly walked to the ground again.
I originally planned to spend three to five days at most on this trip, but I didn’t expect that it would take more than two weeks.
Fortunately, the past two weeks have been going pretty smoothly.
After the dungeon subdued the chiefs and clan leaders, there was basically no trouble.
The subsequent titles of the Underground King, the succession ceremony, and the worship ceremony can be postponed or even not held.
Xu Lai and the guys in the dungeon don’t care about this anyway.
They only recognize fists. They will listen to whoever has the biggest fist.
However, after Xu Lai told Su Ya about this, she firmly disagreed.
The current situation is special. According to the temple, it is really the end of life and death. She agrees to postpone it, but she absolutely does not agree with Xu Lai ruling the underground city anonymously.
Of course, this is a later story.
At this time Xu Lai hurriedly returned to Qingfeng City, hugged Su Ya and Giselle briefly, and quickly summoned Bai Yang.
On this day, Xu Lai has really waited long enough. If there is a chance, he will combine the golden statue of the God of War before the year no matter what.
“How about we just wait another day? Tomorrow is the last day of this month, and the day after tomorrow is the official New Year.
It’s better to wait until tomorrow, and we invite the whole city to watch the ceremony together, so as to Celebrating our first New Year”
After hearing this, Xu Lai shook his head and said: "If that's the case, it's better to wait until next year. It's only two days anyway.
But I can't stand it for a moment. It's dark now and I can't It’s not a nuisance to the people, so let’s combine it first.”
Bai Yang moved slowly, but his steps were fast. Within a few minutes, Bai Yang had already arrived at the castle.
After forming the golden statue of the God of War, Xu Lai had no need to hide anything.
He couldn't hide it even if he wanted to. Xu Lai had a hunch that this kind of super artifact composed of all artifacts must be earth-shattering.
The fact was just as he expected, the moment Bai Yang retracted the branches wrapped around the golden statue of the God of War and handed over the pair of hands of the God of War.
Under the dark night sky, a solid golden light condensed over the entire Qingfeng City, illuminating Qingfeng City like daylight.
This scene, let alone Qingfeng City, can be seen in the entire grassland, and even in the nearby Northern Empire, Western Empire, and even the stronghold.
The dazzling golden light made people unable to open their eyes at all, but Xu Lai was not affected at all by this light.
