Chapter 625 About Change
"Lord, my subordinates are not clear about the specific content of this mysterious mission. After all, the dragon tooth mercenary group led by this subordinate is only relatively famous in the Cold Flame Kingdom, and it cannot be compared with the real first-class mercenary group. Comparable, naturally not qualified to enter the upper echelon of the mercenary guild."
Randall still kept his bowed posture, shook his head helplessly and said: "This subordinate just heard a casual talk from a big man at the top during a certain meeting."
"I see. What else do you know about this mysterious mission?"
I saw Lei Xiao holding up the steaming white porcelain cup, sniffing the refreshing tea fragrance, and asked curiously.
"Returning to Lord Lord, judging from the helpless tone of the other party at that time, this mysterious big task is obviously very difficult. Even if the giants of the most powerful mercenary regiments are assembled today, they cannot move forward one iota. As for the specific location, it is by no means within the scope of the nations of the human race."
Randall frowned for a moment, then responded: "As for the specific task content, the subordinates don't know..."
Speaking of this, Randall's dark gray eyes lit up, and he added: "But what is certain is that the client of the mission is the deceased king of a certain country."
"It's just so clueless."
Lei Xiao put down his teacup, nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Forget it, since it's not within the range of the human kingdoms, it has nothing to do with us now, let's focus on the current matter."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao didn't continue to entangle, but talked with Randall about his idea of preparing a large number of mercenaries, and the related situation that he had already used as a pilot in Red Arrow Town.
During this process, Lei Xiao also explained the current distribution of the enemy's situation.
"My lord, this idea is feasible."
After listening to Lei Xiao's narration, Randall nodded without hesitation, and affirmed: "In the history of the human race, there have indeed been decaying royal families or new forces that have implemented this and achieved considerable results. "
"However, since the cost of hiring a mercenary army is far greater than the cost of cultivating a lineal army, in order to save money, the hiring of general war missions is carried out in a short period of time, such as before starting a key battle , but there are only a handful of long-term employees.
I saw Randall took a sip of hot tea first, and then continued: "In addition, mercenaries are only good at small-scale team battles. On the frontal battlefield, they cannot compete with well-trained and well-organized regular troops. It can only be deployed on the battlefield of city defense or surprise attack."
"This is exactly the same as what I thought. On the frontal battlefield, we also have a regular army. We recruit a large number of mercenary teams, just to check for deficiencies and make up for omissions, so as to be prepared."
Lei Xiao snapped his fingers lightly, nodded and said, "As for the issue of funds, there is no need to worry. It seems that we can continue to expand the scale of mercenaries."
"What the lord said is very true."
Nodding to Lei Xiao, Randall stroked his chin, and said, "However, it is not appropriate for Chijian Town to continue to increase its troops, otherwise, it will arouse the vigilance of the eldest prince."
"That's right, that's why I haven't continued to recruit new mercenaries in Chijian Town."
Lei Xiao's eyes were deep, and he nodded in approval: "According to the latest situation, although the new city lord of Songluo City has just taken office and will not be able to take care of Chijian Town in a short time, the mercenary team of 2,000 is enough to The other party has some scruples, after all, the new city lord is also the eldest prince's loyal dog's leg."
"Lord Lord, please rest assured. When the subordinates rush to the mountain fortress tomorrow, they will immediately start mobilizing the mercenaries of the Dragon Tooth Mercenary Group in Lengyan, and gather an elite mobile force for Lord Lord as soon as possible."
Randall gently stroked his short O-shaped beard, stroked his chest and saluted.
"Very good. Currently, the dragon tooth mercenary group in the mountain fortress has 3 fourth-tier great magicians including Walter, 9 third-tier peak powerhouses, and 2 elite second-tier squadrons with a total of 212 people. , this part alone is enough to become a sharp knife."
Nodding in satisfaction, Lei Xiao picked up the warm teacup again, took a sip, and continued: "Compared to the second prince who is surrounded by Fanyin City, Songlin City, Luolong City, and the country of thorns outside the territory, At present, our forces are relatively weak around the sphere of influence of the eldest prince's faction centered on Songluo City."
"Only Red Arrow Town in the northeast, Lan Leng Fort in the west, and Shanbao Fortress in the southeast have part of our strength. Therefore, your responsibility is undoubtedly a long way to go. .
Feeling the warmth from the Guangjie teacup, Lei Xiao said solemnly: "After all, the two princes have more than 150,000 troops in the eastern region. The total strength of the opponent is only half of that of the opponent, and it is extremely scattered, and the overall force is still at an absolute disadvantage."
"What the lord said is very true, and the subordinates will definitely go all out to share the worries of the lord!"
I saw Randall drank the tea in the cup first, then put down the cup, his eyes were firm.
At the same time, other subordinates who were resting around showed the same look.Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com
Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao nodded in satisfaction, and waved his hands to signal the subordinates to rest.
"To sum up, in the race against death, my main time and energy are still based on the present, constantly improving my strength and developing my territory."
"As for the matter of change, after I have established a firm foothold, I can recruit talents and form a research force of lord scientists. Perhaps, it is still unknown whether I can combine technology and magic..."
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this.
Directly opposite, the five mercenaries who had just been subdued this morning also stepped forward, knelt on one knee and said, "See Lord Lord!"
Following the prestige, Lei Xiao noticed.
Kneeling at the front were two middle-aged men with resolute faces.
One of them carried a long sword at his waist, and the other carried a large shield on his back. They were the mercenary captain Te Li and the guard warrior Te Shan, the two brothers.
After that, there was Bonnie, the priest of the Holy Light in white priest robes, the ranger Gad in leather armor, and finally, Alva, the old magician with white beard and hair.
Looking at the ruddy faces of the two middle-aged men, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
Before this, the two were the most seriously injured. However, after Ye Cang and Ju Bai's full treatment, coupled with the assistance of healing potions, the recovery effect seems to be very obvious.
As for the other three people, their auras were much stronger, apparently under the influence of Qi Condensation Pill, they all successfully advanced to the second level.
"Don't be too polite, we will be partners fighting side by side in the future."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly at the five new subordinates, then stepped forward and helped them up one by one.
And those five mercenaries all looked very excited.
Being able to become the subordinate of this young big shot is undoubtedly the luckiest thing in their life!
"Okay, we should get out of here too."
Lei Xiao turned around again, and nodded to Zhou Wu and other lords beside him.
After speaking, Lei Xiao's heart moved, and he handed a round and full potion to the hands of the five lords.
"A Tier 1 potion that permanently increases strength?"
Seeing the text introduction in the attribute column, the faces of the five lords including Zhou Wu couldn't help showing a look of ecstasy.
For those whose strength is only at the first level, and most of them have not condensed energy vortexes, this is undoubtedly an extremely precious item!
Looking at the excited expressions of the five lords, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and said, "This is regarded as an extra reward for providing me with a resting place for my subordinates. In addition, you are here from a commanding height with a great viewing angle. If there is anything around Changes, be sure to notify me as soon as possible."
"Understood, please rest assured, Boss Xiaoshen!"
Hearing the sound, Zhou Wu and other five lords all thanked them again and again, saying in unison.
"Then see you next ~ Waved to the surrounding subordinates to move closer to him, Lei Xiao's heart moved, and a light blue city return crystal appeared on the palm of his hand.
After all the subordinates stood still and Zhou Wu and the other five retreated to the distance, Lei Xiao crushed the cool city return crystal in his hand.
A cyan light curtain rose around, and a short minute passed in a flash, accompanied by a flash of dazzling white light.
The momentary feeling of lightness and elegance ended, when the scenery around Lei Xiao began to be clear again.
I found that I and the subordinates around me were already standing in the familiar territory in the Shadow Forest.
"Finally back."
Looking up at the towering lord's mansion in front of him, Lei Xiao nodded slightly, looking calm and calm.
Randall, Benson, and the five mercenary subordinates, who came to the territory for the first time, all stared blankly at the north of the territory with uncontrollably shocked expressions on their faces.
