Chucheng is also recruiting people in mainland China, and his taste has been tricked. All the recruited personnel have high standards and strict requirements. However, this time he relaxed a little condition, which is to allow people with family members to join the Thorn Corps.

Now Chu Cheng's subordinates have expanded to more than 2,000 people. If they are not considered family members, the lowest level is also second level.

It is considered a good small force in Daxia, and in the Continent of the Gods, his personnel size has surpassed the ordinary earl leader.

The Thorn Mercenary Group finally had manpower, and the members of the Adventure Group finally had time to work with the Mercenary Group.

In April, the army of the Holy Empire had occupied most of the cities of the Principality of Maggie, and some rural castles were ignored. The Holy Empire ordered those castles to surrender within half a year. If they did not surrender, the Holy Empire would send troops to wipe them out one by one.

The Principality of Maggie was over. The most important city near the south, the City of Pesia, was occupied by the Korasu Empire. The Corasu Empire retreated to the second best. If it occupied the City of Pesia, it would be defended through the river, and the Holy Empire would not have the chance to conflict with Korasu. As for the Miya Empire, heavy troops gathered around Lucian and could not expand.

All three empires were quite satisfied. Although the Holy Empire did not obtain a port, it occupied most of the territory of the Principality of Maggie and gained huge gains.

Strategically speaking, the Holy Empire is the most incurred. The Miya Empire has a port close to Shenzhou, and the Holy Empire only obtains a large amount of land and materials. However, the Holy Empire has a large port on the west coast. At most, the army can circumnavigate the mainland, and it is not that there is really no ship available.

Chu Cheng was not very satisfied. He originally thought that the three empires would fight for this port.

You know, Miya killed a navy from the Korasu Empire, but ended up like this? Didn’t you have any temper?

Well, Chu Cheng didn't know what kind of agreement there was between the empires, but now there was an advantage, that is, Korasu did not pursue the affairs of the Miya Empire and did not cause trouble for the Thorn Leader.

The real trouble is the escaped armor knight.

Chu Cheng had no good idea, so he could only ask Chu Xiang not to leave the Magic Tower. When he left, he would return to his own palace of the Dead to hide. Chu Xiang also had to carry three seventh-level undead scrolls with him. When he encountered the armored knight, he would use them all.

The Principality of Maggie was destroyed, and Chucheng, as the baron of Maggie's Principality, naturally had to choose a family to surrender.

Chucheng chose the Miya Empire. The Miya Empire had a relaxed condition and did not build any temples in his territory. At the same time, he was promised a title of Count.

That's right, the Thorn Leader is now the Earl Leader, and Chu Cheng jumped into a top noble.

Chu Cheng didn't know much about the benefit of the count. What he knew was that the number of magic crystals he could buy every year increased by more than twenty times.

The Miya Empire was not a fool, and he specially sent His Royal Highness to preside over the ceremony for Chucheng.

Solomon is only forty years old this year, a rare double-professional man. His mage level is level six and his swordsman level five. He has blonde hair, a handsome face and a tall figure. Although his mage level is level six, he has a gentle temperament and looks elegant, just like a scholar.

Of course, he is also a scholar, rich in knowledge and a lecher in the profession of wizards.

After Solomon ran to the Thorn Corps, he entered Chucheng's magic tower and chatted with Chucheng for a whole day. Chucheng had a good impression of Solomon. This man knew very well that the situation of Gaia was very clear and did not take any oppressive measures against Chucheng.

As a prince, he agreed with Chu Cheng that when Miya starts war against the New World in the future, Chu Cheng can only fight as a mercenary, no matter which side he is helping. Moreover, Thorns lead mercenaries, and only wars for the New World are not allowed. When the Miya Empire needs mercenaries, Chu Cheng must provide them.

Of course, it is not without a price. The Miya Empire is now going to hire a complete legion, regardless of whether it is fighting or not.

Chu Cheng noticed that Solomon's request was only aimed at the Miya Empire, which means that the Thorn Leader could attack other empires in the future. The Miya Empire didn't matter.

Chu Cheng didn't quite understand. Seeing that he was confused, Solomon smiled at Chu Cheng and said, "Earl, for humans, it's the same for everyone to devour. Only the gods care about this kind of thing."

Chu Cheng immediately understood that the Miya Empire was a secular country. Even if the Miya universe devoured Gaia, the laws suppressed it. For them, it would be fine if they got used to it. Now it is Gaia devoured the Miya universe, so for Miya, as long as the war can win, everything else doesn’t matter, so what if the gods die?

Chu Cheng said to Solomon: "Your Highness, do you think there is anything to develop on the Sun Continent?"

“Yes, but it’s not worth it.”

"Helping my legion, go and try it." Chu Cheng bewitched him.

Solomon was really tempted. Although half of the Sun Continent is a desert, there are still many places suitable for cultivation. In addition, there are many relics on the Sun Continent, and their value is still above the Sun Continent itself. When the Sun God fell, if the remains of the Sun God's Kingdom could be found, the Miya Empire would have been developed.

"But why don't you go by yourself?" Solomon was surprised that if Chu Cheng could provide enough alchemy mercenaries, his power could of course go to the Sun Continent to open up an era.

Chu Cheng said: "I don't have a level six. If I had some level six mercenaries on hand, I would have gone by myself."

After all, military wars are still influenced by the strong. If Chucheng has dozens of sixth-levels, he can send a large army to attack the Sun Continent and take advantage of this opportunity.

The problem is that he doesn't, he can only watch the Sun Continent and be jealous.

So he wanted to deceive Solomon and the Miya Empire, and what he could provide was not only the sixth level, but also the seventh level powerhouse.

As long as there are enough strong men in charge, the army of Chu City can go to the Sun Continent to pick peaches.

Solomon thought for a while and said, "This is feasible. While I am still here, you first write a document and apply for support from the royal family to the sixth-level strongman. Of course, let's work with me. I will send a private army and hire your alchemist mercenaries at the same time. Let's go to the Sun Continent to make a good deal."

Chu Cheng laughed, and he finally found a breakthrough.

Just when Chucheng was full of confidence and was about to march into the Sun Continent, Luo Yan came to the Thorns Territory.

Luo Yan's first sentence was that Qingcheng was going to enter the Sun Continent, develop the ruins of the Sun King, and at the same time try to enter the underworld and explore.

Chu Cheng was surprised and said to Luo Yan: "You go too?"

"Of course, I am a core disciple of the sect. If you don't have such a thing, will you wait for someone to feed me?"

"It's too dangerous!"

"I'm all level six, do you think it's dangerous?"

"I mean the underworld." Chu Cheng said: "The God of the Underworld is suspected to have fallen, but there are many deputy gods in the underworld. Their power in the underworld is not comparable to that of a sixth-level sword cultivator like you."

"Are you sure you don't want to go? Qingcheng is willing to pay a huge price and hire strong enough personnel to go to the ruins of the Sun King. If you don't go, Qingcheng will join forces with two other Taoist sects to develop together."

Chu Cheng grinded his teeth and said, "When will he set off?"

"It's the end of the year. I'll give you more than half a year to prepare. I need a sixth-level plague creature, the kind that can be sacrificed at any time."

"What can Qingcheng give me?"

"You can't buy and sell the formula of jade paste, you can only keep it for your own use. Qingcheng also provides the best materials. In addition, although Qingcheng does not use the elixir for your sister, there are still pills to improve her physical fitness. I promise you to take this part of the elixir first. Only when she can get the elixir in the future will she be qualified to take it, otherwise the body will not be able to bear it."

Chu Cheng can't refuse it. Although Chu Xiang is now a legendary undead, taking the immortal pill transformed into humans may be as Luo Yan said, the body cannot bear it and will directly explode and die.

Luo Yan smiled and said, "This is something I asked for privately, and it is not considered a benefit for you."

"Also?" Chu Cheng was the accident. Qingcheng, doing business with him, has always been fair and will not give him any additional benefits.

"Of course there is, but Qingcheng has a small request."

"If you want to build a Taoist temple in Thorn Leader, no problem. I am now a nobleman from the Miya Empire, and the Miya Empire has no requirements for this."

"That's good. The Taoist priests who came with me would live in the thorns and build a small Taoist temple. At that time, Chu Xiang would have to help. The Taoist temple would sell Taoist things, such as weapons and elixirs."

"You're not worried about Gaia's people?"

"Of course I'm worried, but there are many things, they already have intelligence."

"How is that possible?"

"If you can sell intelligence from here, of course there will be people from Shenzhou who will sell intelligence to the Gods Continent."

Chu Cheng gritted his teeth. Such a person is not worthy of mercy. Of course, from Gaia's perspective, he is not worthy of mercy. The problem is that he is a person from the Galaxy universe.

Luo Yan comforted him and said, "It's no big deal. With Gaia's ability, if you want to obtain intelligence, you can still get it even without traitors. Now we are still actively selling intelligence to Gaia's people, mixing some fake news. Or sending intelligence with a choice, and at the same time, you can buy more Gaia's intelligence. The infiltration between the two sides is much more complicated than you think."

"Who will lead the team this time?" Chu Cheng didn't want to talk about this topic anymore. Anyway, he should not see the betrayer. If he sees it, he will definitely find a way to kill him.

"I am here to lead the team this time, so the mission is related to my future development in Qingcheng." Luo Yan looked at Chucheng.

"I know." Chu Cheng muttered.

"What do you know?"

"You don't have a fuel-efficient lamp."

"It's like you are like White Lotus, alas." Luo Yan teased.

"I'm very white!"
