Chapter 397: Mercenaries
Chu Cheng smiled and said, "You can't agree to this matter. Jingthorn leads to surrender to the Miya Empire. If the Miya Empire leaves my hands and ignores me, what do you think of others?"
"We're just hiring." Colin didn't let go at this time.
"It's just an employment relationship." Chu Cheng laughed and said, "Then exchange the three seventh-level scrolls first. The employment relationship must be calculated clearly."
"This is no problem." Colin agreed happily. If he helped the leader of the Thorns to help prevent, the problem would be big.
A seventh-level knight, how many lives do you have to get in to ensure you kill it?
It was precisely because he agreed to these three scrolls that he refused to help. Chu Cheng had this thing, and he could also deal with the armored knight with the magic tower. As long as the armored knight dared to approach the magic tower, Chu Cheng could naturally use the power of the magic tower to inspire the seventh-level scroll to ensure safety.
He had calculated it clearly. After Chu Cheng used the seventh-level scroll, he had no reliable means. At that time, he would still have to continue to seek help from the Miya Empire.
Chu Cheng secretly issued an order to the magic lord, trying to collect wealth and take it away.
After the magic lord received the order, he immediately ordered the soldiers and ants to start attacking. They were not sensitive to gold coins, but even if the magic crystal was passed through the magic circle, they could not stop the perception of the plague creatures.
It’s fine to have the warehouse in the Duke’s Mansion, but there are many nobles in Lucian City, each of which has wealth hidden.
Almost at the same time Chu City issued an order, a fire broke out in the city. A great plague knight blocked the warehouse gate of a house, and soldiers and ants flocked in to bring out all the things that could be transported away.
A team of soldiers from the Miya Empire wanted to enter, but were stopped outside the yard by the plague knight.
The master in charge said, "Your Excellency, follow our agreement..."
The face of the Great Plague Knight suddenly cracked open, revealing the mouthguard inside. He roared at the mage, and the mage couldn't help but retreat. Only then did he realize that his friendly forces were all monsters.
Behind the Great Plague Knight, all the plague creatures' faces were cracked at the same time, roaring at the army of the Miya Empire.
If there is a person on the other side, there is a reason to be said, but there is a monster on the other side. The mage hesitated for a moment and did not dare to take action. He had seen the battle of plague creatures, and they were all fearless. When it was really impossible to defeat, these plague creatures tried to die with the enemy. Most of the time, plague creatures did it.
Even if the enemy is not killed, the toxins on the plague creatures will make the enemy feel embarrassed.
Soon, a large number of conflicts broke out in Lucian City. Although the Miya Empire had elite troops, it was still besieging the magic tower belonging to Grand Duke Maggie and negotiating with the legendary mage inside.
There are not many legends outside in the army searching for wealth, and even if there are, they dare not fight against the Great Knight of Plague.
There were no plague knights, but there were several battles. The soldiers and ants were unscrupulously devouring the enemy's corpses, making the surviving soldiers flee one by one.
The giant warship evacuated from the port, and Colin brought Chucheng's Tianshao closer.
Chu Cheng said: "No need to help in the city?"
"Maggie is dead, and the rest are not worth worrying. There is a teleportation array on the giant warship. I can help you apply for the seventh-level scroll first, so as not to say I'm sorry for you."
Chu Cheng smiled and brought the natural disaster to Miya's giant warship.
Colin kept his word and communicated directly with the empire on the giant warship, outlining the battle situation here. Lucian fought and the application for the scroll was quite fast. Soon, three demon-sealed boxes were teleported over, which was also a technology that the empire had. Ordinary nobles wanted to transmit high-level items through the teleportation array, which was extremely loss.
Chu Cheng got the scroll, but he didn't check it and directly put it into the night clothes of the hundred ghosts.
Colin said to Chu Cheng: "Do you still want magic crystals?"
Chu Cheng nodded and said, "Of course, I don't buy enough for me every year."
Colin said to Chu Cheng: "Then help me salvage the warships. I'll give you the price back. Those warships are just broken down and can be repaired."
This is a simple matter for Chu Cheng.
As long as you let Tiancao Cangyuan come over, create large plague creatures, repair the ship directly on the seabed, and then drain the sea water inside, the warship will naturally float up slowly.
Although there are still many specific technical details to be finalized, the cost is really not too much.
At this time, Colin knew that there was a conflict in the city, so he said to Chu Cheng: "Baron, why bother to worry about temporary gains and losses?"
Chu Cheng said: "My losses must be made up. In this way, I will not fight with you. One person is half. You can get what you can get. I will send someone to kill all the nobles who have not left."
Colin frowned and Chu Cheng said, "The God of Justice is not caring about it anymore. What else do Miya Empire want?"
"You are so cruel!"
Chu Cheng smiled and said, "This time, my legion lost most of the losses, and another seventh-level knight popped up in the Principality of Maggie. If I don't be more cruel, no one will care about the losses I turn back."
"Follow you, the north of the city will belong to you, and the south of the city will belong to me." Colin said.
Chu Cheng didn't care. In fact, there were more rich people in the south of the city, but Chu Cheng had already let Chu Bai rob the most precious treasure house of the Duke's Mansion, and now he was just expressing his attitude to Colin.
He wants nothing, and it makes people suspicious to look back. After all, Grand Duke Maggie is good at making money, and no one believes that there is nothing good in his warehouse.
The two sides sent messengers into the city to separate the troops on both sides and stop clashing.
The rest was simple. Chu Cheng's army plundered with all his might and brought Lucian's wealth to the armed merchant ship. This time he wanted everything, and he didn't even let go of food.
The robbery took half a month, and Chucheng's armed merchant ships ran three times. He didn't plan to leave anything for Lucian. The Miya Empire didn't mind because the Miya Empire's plan was to immigrate. Before immigrating, Lucian would first become a military center.
On the other side of the Miya Empire, the royal family sent a prince over to negotiate with the Temple of Justice.
The fighting power of the Temple of Justice is actually not strong, but everyone needs the God of Justice. Besides, no nobles are willing to fight directly with the gods.
Chu Cheng was not very concerned about the outcome of the negotiations because the results were obvious. The God of Justice chose to watch when the Miya Empire attacked.
The real trouble is the Korasu Empire.
The Korasu Empire had sent envoys to demand that the Miya Empire take back its troops and abandon Lucian.
It seems a bit stupid to say this. The real reason is that the Korasu Empire is not ready for war, so it can only speak out first and express its own position. War is also a matter of the future.
On the side of Chucheng, two fleets took the wealth obtained from Lucian to the Crown of Thorns.
In this battle, because Lucian lacked resistance, Chu Cheng's losses were not as great as he said, but the harvest far exceeded expectations. Lucian was too rich, and Chu Cheng plundered more than 200 million gold coins alone.
Thorn harvesting really doesn’t take so much money, and Chucheng is not short of supplies for the time being.
So he sent a fleet to transfer important wealth to the crown of Thorns, and he returned to the thorns by himself, waiting for Little Nicholas.
The Baron's Mansion was as simple as ever, and when Little Nicholas came, the anger on his face could no longer be concealed.
However, when Chu Cheng saw him, he was fiddling with a seventh-level scroll in his hand.
Little Nicholas is a magician. When he saw this scroll, he calmed down.
Chu Cheng smiled and said, "Look, the Miya Empire is much more generous. He gave me three seventh-level scrolls directly. How could I refuse their request?"
Three photos!
Little Nichola changed his smile and said to Chu Cheng: "I can understand, but we agreed after all."
"I can't help you fight other cities?" Chu Cheng tasted the taste of robbery, and he had to do well enough to avoid really offending the Stuka family.
"Of course not." Little Nicholas said: "The goal of the Holy Empire is the city of Lucian. Now that Lucian has fallen into the hands of the Miya Empire, what's the point if we capture all the cities of the Principality of Maggie?"
Chu Cheng smiled and said, "If you really capture all the cities, do you think Lucian is still safe?"
Little Nicholas pondered that Chu Cheng did this, it can be said that he would please him on both sides. The problem is that the conditions he gave Chu Cheng before were indeed too bad. Anyone would be willing to form an alliance with the Miya Empire.
"Nick, you have to understand that I have no ability to reject Miya Empire, nor can I refuse you."
“What price is offered by the Miya Empire?”
Chu Cheng laughed and reported the price to Little Nicholas for hiring the Plague Legion. Little Nicholas was surprised and said, "Is this crazy Miya Empire giving so much?"
"If you think it's too much, then go and fight it yourself."
Little Nicholas said: "It's not that I can't beat it."
"The one who dies is your own army. When the time comes, your strength will decline. What do you think will happen?"
"Okay, I'll hire your legion at the price of the Miya Empire."
"Don't worry, my people will come to the city first. When the city gate is broken, it will be your people's turn to enter."
After thinking about it, Little Nicholas could not think of any shortcomings in doing this. If it could be done, his army would not suffer too much loss and he would be able to take down the Principality of Maggie. Gaia's mercenary system was very perfect, and it was not a strange thing to hire mercenary troops to fight.
Of course he didn't know that Chu Bai was there in Chu City. Once the city was broken, the enemy's strength to protect the warehouse was sharply reduced, and Chu Bai could calmly take away all the most valuable things.
If it weren't for fear of offending the temple, Chucheng wouldn't even let go of the temple.
