Chapter 534： surrounding situation

"It seems that I have another tiger general under my command."

Looking at Or, who had a respectful expression in front of him, Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and a fourth-order recruitment order with a faint golden metallic luster appeared on the palm of his hand.

Next, it didn't take long.

The familiar reminder sound rang in Lei Xiao's ears.

Hearing this, Lei Xiao lifted up the Fanyin City Lord in front of him and opened the other party's attribute bar.

"From now on, Fanyin City, an important commercial hub, is under my control!"

After closing the attribute bar, Lei Xiao's face couldn't help but show an excited look.

In this way, coupled with Kongqing Town, which is also a commercial hub, he is undoubtedly equivalent to choking the economic lifeline of most of the eastern Lengyan area.

When needed, as long as the flow of goods is controlled a little, other hostile forces can naturally be greatly affected in all aspects of life.

Of course, with huge funds in hand, you can also further expand material reserves and lay a solid foundation for possible future crises.

Thinking of this, while excited, Lei Xiao immediately said to Or in front of him: "Okay, City Lord Or, let's leave here first, I still have some things to ask you."

"Follow your orders! Lord Lord!"

At this time, Orr, who had just signed the contract, was obviously still a little excited, and nodded again and again.

In this way, under Orr's guidance, Lei Xiao and his party, who left the dungeon, returned all the way along the corridor where they came, and finally came to a spacious and bright discussion hall.

"Lord Lord, please take your seat."

After closing the double doors of the hall again, Or bowed and saluted again.

"Very good, first describe the overall situation of Fanyin City."

Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao opened his mouth while walking towards the throne at the top.

Next, after Orr's description, Lei Xiao learned.

After years of careful cultivation by Orr, the garrison of Fanyin City has a size of 8,000 people.

Among them, there were three infantry battalions, two cavalry battalions, two archer battalions, and a tactical support battalion consisting of magicians, priests and escorts.

In addition, Fanyin City also has five elite second-order guard squadrons.

Including what Lei Xiao had seen before, a squadron of rangers who were good at detection, a squadron of magicians, a squadron of knights, and two squadrons of heavy infantry.

Moreover, both the garrison corps commander and the guard squadron commander have reached the third tier.

"Well done, this kind of strength is almost the sum of Shuiyue City and Fenglong City."

After listening to Orr's military introduction, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.

"Thank you, Lord, for your appreciation."

Bowing slightly to Lei Xiao, Or first smiled shyly.

Afterwards, a look of helplessness appeared on his white-tempered face, and he continued: "Because of this, the large amount of military spending has led to the financial situation of Fanyin City, which has been maintained at a slightly profitable level. , so that the subordinates did not save too much wealth."

"That's too bad, aren't these well-trained garrison troops and guards the biggest family?"

With a slight smile, Lei Xiao said, "From today onwards, the prosperity of Fanyin City will once again reach a new level!"

After he finished speaking, Lei Xiao waved his hand, and a full five hundred boxes full of golden dragons appeared in the hall.

"Here are 5 million golden dragons."

Looking at Or's astonished expression, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and said, "There are two purposes for these funds. The first is to expand Fanyin City's garrison army to the size of a legion as soon as possible. When you come here, you will have a complete makeover.

The second is to secretly purchase a large amount of materials in the city, among which food and daily necessities are the main ones. "

Needless to say, Lei Xiao's purpose is naturally to win by odds and to prepare for emergencies. War is inherently intriguing, and economically crushing opponents is also a way to go to war.

"Please rest assured, Lord, your subordinates know what to do."

Hearing the sound, Auer's face suddenly showed a knowing look, and he responded: "The business travelers in Fanyin City all have large and small warehouses in Fanyin City, and in recent years, the subordinates, It also focused on building its own secret large-scale storage facility, which couldn’t be easier.”

"very good."

Nodding with satisfaction, Lei Xiao pondered for a while, and asked for Orr's staff and robe again. The specific attributes are as follows:

Without hesitation, Lei Xiao started to upgrade directly.

"Has the weapon been upgraded to Tier 5? Not bad."

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao opened the attribute bar of the new weapon again.

"The perfection has been further strengthened. Auer's ability as a wind magician."

Nodding with satisfaction, Lei Xiao's heart moved slightly, and he handed back the upgraded fifth-order staff and the original fourth-order robe.

While handing it over, a thoughtful look appeared on Lei Xiao's face.

Just like I thought before.

The equipment rank of the human race countries has an upper limit after all. The fifth rank is already the peak level, and there are many precious potions, not to mention.

So, wait until the time is right.

If you want to develop further, you must leave the place where the human race lives and move towards a farther unfamiliar area to explore other races with extraordinary strength.

Of course, with his current power, he is still far from being able to compete with other powerful races.

After all, according to what Jiang Hao said, the elf clan that had a grudge against her, the fifth-order powerhouse with monstrous strength, had already surpassed the number of two hands.

"This is a fifth-order staff that is enough to control the country?! The subordinates are not dreaming?!"

Just as Lei Xiao thought to himself, on the other side, Orr could hardly believe his glasses, and was instantly stunned on the spot.

Next, Orr, who was trembling all over, was shocked and grateful, needless to say.

When the opponent holding the staff regained his composure, Lei Xiao, who was sitting on the throne, took the tea cup handed over by the battle maid, A Ling, and said, "Okay, Or, what should we do now? Let's talk business."

"Lord Lord, please tell me, your subordinates must know everything and say everything!"

Seeing Orr's resolute face, he was already fully expected with excitement, and responded quickly.

"About the three princes, how much do you know about the distribution of forces in the eastern area of ​​Leng Yan?"

Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao, who was holding a steaming teacup, immediately asked.

"Lord Lord, Fanyin City, as a highly mobile commercial center, can be easily collected at ordinary times, a lot of information provided by business travelers and mercenaries, plus the fact that subordinates like intelligence analysis when they have nothing to do, I do have some information. Confidential information."

Bowing slightly to Lei Xiao, Auer said: "First of all, there is no doubt that the main sphere of influence of the eldest prince's faction is about 70,000 to 80,000 troops in the surrounding area centered on Songluo City. scale."

After a pause, Or said: "Therefore, this subordinate is not very worried, the Holy Night Army will attack soon, after all, in addition to the mountain fortress, if the Holy Night Army wants to drive straight in, there are also the big prince's faction. the second barrier."

"I see."

Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao took a sip of hot tea and nodded thoughtfully.

Before that, he had already learned that Marquis Rocky, the city lord of Songluo City, was a loyal dogleg of the eldest prince's faction.

Unexpectedly, other surrounding cities except Rocky have also secretly joined the camp of the Great Prince.

"However, Lord Lord, due to the mysterious disappearance of Rocky some time ago, Songluo City is still in a more chaotic state..."

Having said that, looking at Lei Xiao's unwavering expression, Auer suddenly said: "It turned out to be the masterpiece of the Lord, which makes sense!"

Bowing slightly to Lei Xiao, Or said: "Narroki is a representative of the extermination faction among the nobles. It is said that not only did he mercilessly slaughter all the otherworld lords in his sphere of influence, but he also dispatched experienced elites. Search teams, assist other surrounding cities, and encircle and suppress the lords of other worlds."

"Obviously, he no longer has this ability now."

With a slight smile, Lei Xiao responded lightly as he put down the teacup.

Regarding the extermination faction that Orr mentioned just now, Lei Xiao had heard Ariel mention it before.

At present, there are roughly three attitudes towards the dignitaries of the Terran countries, including the Lengyan Kingdom, who suddenly descended on the world lords.

The first type is the annihilation faction with the largest number and the strongest attitude.

The claim is incompatible with the lords of other worlds, and must be wiped out so that the original power structure will not be affected.

The second is the coexistence faction in smaller numbers.

This part of the nobles and dignitaries advocated that since there are incredible miracles like the lords of other worlds.

Then, there must be a deep meaning, and the otherworld lords who came are all human races.

Therefore, it is natural to not kill at will, but should try to take the initiative to make friendly contact and establish a channel for communication between them.

The third type is the observation group with the smallest number.

This small group of dignitaries supports neither the first nor the second. What they advocate is to keep the same and respond to all changes, to see how things will develop first, and then make plans.

"The lord is really extraordinary, and his subordinates admire it!"

With a sincere flattery, Or continued: "In addition to this part of the eldest prince's forces, the second largest force in the eastern area of ​​Leng Yan is the second prince."

Nodding slightly to Lei Xiao, Or said: "The second prince's power here is based on the central location of Leng Yan's eastern area and the nearby area with Tiege Castle as the core, with a total force of about 60,000 to 70,000. people."

"Is it Tiege Castle? It turned out to be the second prince's territory."

Hearing the name of the place, Lei Xiao nodded slightly while looking at the teacup that was still curling up beside him.

About this place Lei Xiao is also no stranger to this place. It is the residence of the Blue Rose Knights.

Another city not far from the Blue Rose Knights is the residence of the Broken Blade Knights.

"It seems that I have drawn the two of them together. Sure enough, once there is a conflict with the power of the second prince, these two independent knights will undoubtedly become two sharp knives that penetrate the enemy's vitals."

Nodding thoughtfully, Lei Xiao raised his head again and asked, "What about the power of the fourth prince?"

"Lord Lord, the fourth prince is too elusive. Therefore, his subordinates have not figured out where his sphere of influence is."

Shaking his head helplessly, Or responded immediately: "However, apart from the power of the eldest prince and the second prince, the more important cities such as Gelin City, Luolong City, and Lan Lengbao are unknown, so they must be Spread it out in these cities."

"Understood, so, is the fourth prince the most mysterious and unpredictable?"

Hearing this, Lei Xiao rubbed his chin while showing a thoughtful look.
