I saw that the attributes of Gail are as follows:

[Skill 4: Melee Mastery "Passive" (When attacking in melee, moderately increases damage)]
"Not bad, this way, I have added another fourth-order powerhouse under my command!"
Closing Gail's attribute bar, Lei Xiao nodded happily: "Also, it is undoubtedly a crucial step to support Lin as the head of the Shanglu family in the near future!"
Excited, Lei Xiao first drank the tea in his cup, then motioned Gail to take a seat beside him, and at the same time asked questions about Fanyin City Lord Orr.
Needless to say, the last Tier 4 recruitment order on him was naturally reserved for him.
"Return to the lord, this is the situation that the subordinates have."
Hearing the sound, Gail bowed slightly, describing his understanding completely.
First of all, the family of Auer, the lord of Fanyin City, is Leng Yan's marquis family, and Fanyin City is the fiefdom of his family.
Its family history can be traced back to the era of King Heroes.
The first generation Patriarch was under the command of the King of Heroes, a captain of the Guards Magic Troupe. He followed the King of Heroes to fight in all directions. He made great contributions to Leng Yan.
Secondly, when Orr was young, he used to be a court magician in the Lengyan Royal Family. It wasn't until ten years ago, when he succeeded the Patriarch, that he returned to his hometown to take charge of Fanyin City.
In the end, in the past ten years, under Auer's diligent governance, Fanyin City gradually began to become more and more prosperous, so that it finally became an indispensable commercial center in the eastern region of Lengyan.
"Understood."
Slightly nodding his head, Lei Xiao said thoughtfully.
What Gail said was similar to what Kelly had described.
Although it can make him understand Orr's character better, but for subduing Orr, he still lacks the most critical link.
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao didn't hesitate, and immediately asked: "President Gail, the internal struggle in the capital has not yet been finalized. Do you know anything about the faction that Orr belongs to?"
Hearing the sound, Gail immediately understood what Lei Xiao meant.
Different from the small and remote towns, Fanyin City, as a commodity distribution center, is undoubtedly an extremely important commercial hub for the eastern region of Lengyan.
It is no exaggeration to say that controlling Fanyin City is almost equivalent to controlling at least half of the commercial lifeline in the eastern region of Lengyan.
Of course, it also includes essential living materials such as food and various daily necessities.
Of course, this point is very clear to the three princes in the capital.
Therefore, the three forces will definitely send people to win them over, and make advance preparations for the possible large-scale confrontation in the future.
All in all, if Orr remains neutral, everything is fine.
But if he is already standing behind a certain prince, it will undoubtedly be extremely difficult if he wants to win him over.
Realizing this, Gail couldn't help shaking his head helplessly, and responded: "To be honest, my lord, although my subordinates have a good personal relationship with Lord Orr, and even know about his hobbies and interests, but the other party has never mentioned it. been to these matters.
After a pause, Gail, who was tall and strong, seemed to remember something, and said again: "By the way, Lord Lord, you once told the little girl to pay close attention to Orr's movements, especially if there are any other prince's minions. Come get in touch.
As far as the subordinates know, there is nothing abnormal in this aspect, but it cannot be ruled out that Orr's hiding is so perfect that it is still unknown. "
"It seems that Orr is indeed a man with a deep city background."
Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
At this stage, it is impossible to confirm whether Orr is neutral.
Relying on the fact that he and Auer have a common enemy, the mysterious organization, and his previous strength in the underground temple of the Titans.
If such a scene were placed in the previous life, it would undoubtedly be a scene that he would almost never see in his entire life, and it would be enough to make him unforgettable for the rest of his life.
But now, it is nothing more than an ordinary day-to-day life.
"My lord, this is the venue for this private banquet. If your lord is not satisfied, the subordinates will instruct you to go to other venues to check."
Just when Lei Xiao was secretly sighing, Gail's respectful voice came from the side: "Also, my subordinates have hired the best string orchestra, dancers and bards in Fanyin City, and they will come to you at any time. You can come in and perform for fun."
"Very good, here it is, I am very satisfied."
Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao's eyes wandered, and he nodded slightly, agreeing.
"Understood, my lord, there are a total of twelve dragon tooth mercenary powerhouses invited this time..."
Immediately afterwards, Gail's respectful voice came to Lei Xiao's ears again.
Next, after Gail's introduction, Lei Xiao learned about it.
At the auction at that time, the fourth-rank eight-star water magician who pretended to be an old auctioneer was none other than Master Walter, the deputy head of the dragon tooth mercenary group.
The other two great magician elders are both Tier 4 and 6-star. A well-known heavyweight.
As for the other nine mercenaries, they are all at the peak level of Tier 3, and they are all senior mercenaries who can be called names in the mercenary world.
"My lord, it is worth mentioning that the leader of the Dragon Tooth Mercenary Group has been missing for many years. As for the specific situation, these great magicians of the Taishan Beidou level in the mercenary world are all secretive, and there must be one of them. Some reasons."
Bowing slightly to Lei Xiao, Gail whispered again.
"I see."
Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
"My lord, the time is almost up. The strong men of the Dragon Tooth Mercenary Group should have arrived, and the subordinates will go and take them over."
Seeing that the food was basically ready, Gail reported again.
"Go."
Nodding to the middle-aged strong man in front of him who was well-proportioned and thoughtful, Lei Xiao nodded in satisfaction and said, "Thanks for your hard work."
When Gail bowed to leave, Lei Xiao's eyes fell on the surrounding subordinates again.
The trio of foodies consisted of a wolf and a dragon. Needless to say, they had already prepared a plate and a knife and fork in one hand, and were waiting for the banquet to officially begin.
Ariel stood beside her quietly surrounded by the two generals of the kingdom.
The purpose of Lei Xiao this time is to hire the strong men of the Dragon Tooth Mercenary Corps to occupy the mountain fortress in the name of the fifth princess Ariel.
Therefore, his identity is still the guest of the fifth princess, and there is no need to conceal Ariel's princess identity.
As for the other subordinates such as the knotweed stick, they were all scattered around Lei Xiao, always in case of sudden incidents.
It didn't take long before a burst of hearty laughter came into Lei Xiao's ears from outside the banquet hall: "Hehe, President Gail, no matter what, it's a good idea to invite us old men to dinner." Our pleasure."
"Master Walter is too polite. It's a great honor for you to come to the Shanglu Fair in Fanyin City."
Immediately afterwards, Gail's humble voice came over: "Of course, as I said just now, the person who invited all distinguished guests this time is a mysterious big man."
"Mysterious big shot? That really makes me look forward to it!"
There was another burst of laughter, and the first old voice sounded again.
Next was accompanied by a series of increasingly clear footsteps.
Under Gail's guidance, three old magicians dressed in blue, red, and yellow magic robes appeared at the gate.
Behind them, there are a group of middle-aged magicians standing in line, they are the other strong members of the Dragon Tooth Mercenary Corps.
"So it's Her Royal Highness?"
Recognizing Ariel next to Lei Xiao at a glance, the old blue-robed magician who was the leader was stunned for a moment, and immediately came up with a group of mercenaries, kneeling on one knee and saying: "See Your Highness the Princess!"
"Everyone, please forgive me. The protagonist here today is not me, but him."
Raising her hand slightly, Ariel turned sideways, letting Lei Xiao out.
"ah?"
Hearing Ariel's inexplicable words, while being puzzled, the gazes of all the strong mercenaries could not help but fall on Lei Xiao.
