Chapter 624： About change

"Lord Lord, about the specific content of this mysterious mission, my subordinates are not clear. After all, the Dragontooth mercenary group led by my subordinates is only well-known in the Kingdom of Cold Flames, and it cannot be compared with the real first-class mercenary group. Comparable, naturally I do not have the qualifications to enter the high-level mercenary guild."

Randall remained in a bowed posture, shook his head helplessly and said, "This subordinate just heard a casual talk from a senior high-level person during a certain meeting."

"So that's it, what else do you know about this mysterious big mission?"

I saw Lei Xiao held up the steaming white porcelain cup, and while sniffing the refreshing tea fragrance, he asked curiously.

"Lord Lord, judging from the extremely helpless tone of the other party at the time, this mysterious task is obviously very difficult. Even if the most powerful mercenary giants are assembled today, they can't move forward one ounce. As for the specific location, it is by no means within the scope of the human race countries."

Randall frowned and pondered for a moment, then responded: "And the specific task content, the subordinates don't know..."

Having said that, 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 no clue."

Lei Xiao put down the teacup, nodded thoughtfully and said: "Forget it, since it is not within the scope of the human race countries, it has nothing to do with us now, so let's focus on the things at hand."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao did not continue to struggle, but talked to Randall about his idea of ​​preparing to hire a large number of mercenaries and the related situation that he had already used as a pilot in Chijian Town.

During this process, Lei Xiao also explained the current situation of the enemy and the enemy.

"Lord Lord, this idea is feasible."

After listening to Lei Xiao's remarks, Randall nodded without hesitation, affirming: "In the history of the human race, there have indeed been declining 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 direct line army, in order to save money, the employment of general war missions is carried out in a short period of time, such as before starting a key battle. , and there are only a handful of long-term employees."

I saw that Randall took a sip of hot tea first, and then continued: "In addition, mercenaries are only good at small-scale team operations, and on the frontal battlefield, they cannot compete with well-trained and well-organized regular troops. It can only be deployed on the battlefield of defensive battles or surprise raids."

"This is exactly what I thought. On the frontal battlefield, we also have a regular army and recruit a large number of mercenary teams. It's just to check for deficiencies and to be prepared."

Lei Xiao tapped 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 rubbed his chin and said, "However, Chijian Town should not continue to increase its troops, otherwise, it will arouse the vigilance of the eldest prince's faction."

"That's right, that's why I haven't continued to recruit new mercenaries in Red Arrow 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 care about Chijian Town in a short period of time, the mercenary team of 2,000 people is enough to make The other party has some scruples, after all, the new city owner is also a loyal dogleg of the eldest prince."

"Please rest assured, Lord, and wait until your subordinates rush to the mountain fortress tomorrow, and immediately start to mobilize the mercenaries of the Dragon Tooth Mercenary Group in Lengyan, and gather an elite mobile force for the Lord as soon as possible."

Randall stroked his short O-shaped beard, stroked his chest and saluted.

"Very good, there are currently 3 Tier 4 Great Magicians including Walter, 9 Tier 3 peak powerhouses, and 2 elite Tier 2 squadrons in the Dragon Teeth mercenary group in the mountain fortress, with a total of 212 people. , this part alone is enough to become a sharp knife."

Nodding his head with satisfaction, Lei Xiao picked up the teacup with a suitable temperature again, took a sip, and continued: "Compared to the second prince surrounded by Fanyin City, Gelin City, Luolong City, and the kingdom of thorns outside the realm Power, at present, our power is relatively weak around the sphere of influence of the eldest prince's faction centered on Songluo City."

"Only Chijian Town in its northeast, Lan Lengbao in its west, and a mountain fortress in its southeast possess some of our power. 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, and after winning the loyalty of Luolong City and the Kingdom of Thorns, we will The total strength of the enemy can only reach half of the opponent's, and it is extremely scattered, and the overall strength is still at an absolute disadvantage."

"The Lord's words are very true, and the subordinates will go all out to share the worries for the Lord!"

I saw that Randall first drank the tea in the cup, and then put down the cup, his eyes fixed.

At the same time, other subordinates who were resting around also showed the same look.

Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction, and waved his hands to signal the subordinates to continue resting.

After that, it didn't take long.

The dusty Hong Ye returned to Lei Xiao again, saluted his chest and said, "Lord Lord, the dragon saliva has been collected."

After speaking, Hong Ye's Liu Mei couldn't help frowning slightly, and then she unfolded it again.

For her as a dragon clan, it is obviously a very strange thing to collect her own dragon saliva... especially if it is to be smeared on other people's belly.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao stood up from his seat, patted Hong Ye's shoulder lightly as a compliment, and then ordered to the other subordinates: "Okay, let's return to Luolong City."

"Follow your orders! Lord Lord!"

All the subordinates bowed in unison and said in unison.

After saying goodbye to Mai Ya, Lei Xiao and his party, who were wearing the stars and wearing the moon, chased the wind and electricity, and returned to Luolong City, a fortress city located at the pass of the Baibu Mountains.

There was almost no stop in the city, and after picking up Benson, the group meandered up and came to the top of the mountain next to Luolong City.

Since Lei Xiao had already said hello in advance, Zhou Wu and other five lords, as well as the five mercenary subordinates who were subdued in the morning, were already waiting here.

"Elder Xiaoshen, you are back!"

I saw the burly Zhou Wu take a step forward and respect Lei Xiao.

Needless to say, if it hadn't been for the attack by the Elder God, the five of them would have been slaughtered by that goblin army.

After Zhou Wu finished speaking, he looked at Benson, who was standing respectfully beside Lei Xiao, with scars all over his face. He couldn't help rolling his throat and swallowed a mouthful of spit.

If not mistaken, isn't this the crazy officer in Luolong City?

Unexpectedly, the elder Xiaoshen could actually make such terrifying guys who make them have nightmares every day are willing to bow their heads and serve as ministers.

Realizing this, Zhou Wu and the other four lords, while shocked, all cast a more awe-inspiring look at Lei Xiao.

Having said that, the reason why they were able to clearly see the scene below the mountain from the towering mountain was because they had replaced a telescope made by the lord in the trading center.

After all, in this different world, there are many things that Blue Star has never owned, and the arrival of the lords will undoubtedly bring about a huge change in this world.

Of course, the premise is that you can survive smoothly.

Noticing the awe-inspiring eyes cast by Zhou Wu and others, Lei Xiao smiled slightly, and when his eyes wandered, he also observed the monocular hanging around Zhou Wu's neck.

After being promoted to the third-tier powerhouse, as long as the energy in his belly surges up, Lei Xiao's five senses will be greatly improved, so this kind of crude thing is no longer needed.

"When I was among the kings, I once discussed the change with Wang Xi. Since he was just an ordinary working family before the time-travel, it was impossible for him to master all kinds of advanced knowledge like in the novel. Therefore, and Not changing the world too much, but enjoying the world of swords and magic."

"However, this time, there are countless lords who have come through this time. Among them, there must be elites from all walks of life. Over time, if these lords can survive, I am afraid that this other world will usher in a huge change. ?"

"I have to say that the fusion of technology and magic is really exciting."

While a little excited, Lei Xiao could not help but frowned slightly.

"Of course, the premise is that given time, there must be enough time to experiment and explore. After all, the technology tree of this world is completely different from Blue Star. There is no equipment or foundation to support it, and everything has to start from scratch."

"Furthermore, regardless of the acceptance level of the local indigenous people, it is still unknown whether this world will have the complete basic raw materials on the Blue Star technology tree."

"The most important thing is that under the threat of a cataclysm that may come at any time, I naturally cannot focus on this illusory change, even if I have gone through countless hardships to create basic cannons and muskets, I I also don't think the power can be comparable to that of the magic cannon and magician."

"What's more, judging from the terrifying battlefield ruins outside the city of the land of the gods, the terrifying destructive power is comparable to a nuclear bomb. If I can get that terrifying power, maybe I can figure out the world's So many mysteries."

At this moment, Lei Xiao's frowned brows were re-expanded, and he continued to think.

"To sum up, in the race against the **** of death, my main time and energy are still based on the present, and constantly improve my strength and develop my territory."

"As for the 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 that technology and magic can be combined..."

Just when Lei Xiao thought of this.

Directly opposite, the five mercenaries who had just been subdued this morning also stepped forward and knelt down on one knee: "See your lord!"

Looking at the sound, Lei Xiao noticed.

I saw that kneeling at the front were two middle-aged men with resolute faces.

The two were carrying a long sword on their waists and a large shield on their backs. They were the mercenary captain Terry and the guardian warrior Teshan.

Further back, the priest of the Holy Light Bonnie in white priest robes, the ranger Gard in leather armor, and finally, the old magician Alva with white hair and beard.

Looking at the rosy faces of the two middle-aged men, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.

Before that, these two were the most seriously injured, but after Ye Cang and Ju Bai's full-strength treatment, plus the help of the healing potion, the recovery effect seemed to be very obvious.

As for the other three, the aura on their bodies was much stronger, and it was obvious that they were all promoted to the second tier under the influence of the Qi Condensing Pill.

"Don't be too polite, we will be partners fighting side by side in the future."

Lei Xiao smiled at the five new subordinates Dandan, then stepped forward and helped them up one by one.

The five mercenaries all had expressions of excitement.

It is undoubtedly the luckiest thing in their life to be the subordinate of this young big man!

"Okay, we should get out of here too."

I saw Lei Xiao turned around again, and nodded to Zhou Wu and other lords beside him.

After speaking, Lei Xiao's mind moved, and he handed a round and full potion to the hands of the five lords.

"A first-order potion booster that permanently enhances strength?"

Seeing the text introduction in the attribute column Zhou Wu and other five lords could not help but have a look of ecstasy on their faces.

For them whose strength is only first-order, and most of them have not condensed energy vortex, this is undoubtedly an extremely precious item!

Looking at the excited expressions of the five lords, Lei Xiaodan said with a smile: "This is regarded as a reward you gave me as a subordinate, providing a place to rest. In addition, you guys are condescending and the viewing angle is excellent, if there is any change around , be sure to notify me as soon as possible."

"Understood, please rest assured!"

Hearing the sound, Zhou Wu and other five lords expressed their thanks again and again and said in unison.

"See you next time then."

He waved his hands to signal the surrounding subordinates to move closer to him, Lei Xiao's mind moved, and a blue-green crystal of returning to the city 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 Huicheng Crystal in his hand that exuded a hint of coolness.

A cyan light curtain rises all around, and a short minute is fleeting, followed by a flash of dazzling white light.

The momentary sense of lightness and elegance ended, when the scenery around Lei Xiao started to become clear again.

I found that I and the subordinates around me were already standing in the familiar territory in the Shadow Forest.

"Finally back."

Hang looked at the towering lord's mansion in front of him, Lei Xiao nodded slightly, a look of wind and clouds.

Randall, Benson, and the five mercenary subordinates who came to the territory for the first time were full of uncontrollable shocking expressions, and looked at the north side of the territory together.
