"Here are 200 sets of third-level light armor and 200 third-level long swords, enough for Mailan Town to equip two elite guard squadrons."
Looking at the stunned expressions of Xuan Yue and Bai Guo, Lei Xiao smiled slightly.
These light armors, called [Silver Knight Light Armors], were upgraded from the third-level equipment at the Fanyin City auction.
As for the third-level long sword, it is called the [Holy Light Knight Sword], which was obtained from the border battlefield.
Immediately, before the two of them could react.
Lei Xiao's heart moved slightly again, and the 200 Qi Condensing Pills placed in the brocade box suddenly appeared in front of everyone again.
"These 200 Qi Condensing Pills should also be used to form a Guards Squadron. From the current garrison, some outstanding first-order nine-star soldiers will be selected for collective refining.
It’s enough for Mailan Town to gain another 200 elite second-level soldiers.”
While pacing on the only open space left in the treasure house, Lei Xiao continued: "As an agricultural town that produces food.
Mailan Town is very important to our territory, and I hope you will not neglect military training while focusing on production."
"I obey! Lord, please rest assured!" On the other side, in the midst of ecstasy, Xuan Yue quickly stepped forward and bowed to Lei Xiao.
There is no doubt that on the battlefield, a squadron of well-trained second-level soldiers is enough to compete with an ordinary first-level soldier brigade.
In the state of forming a dense battle formation and facing each other head-on, even if they are faced with ten third-level experts or one fourth-level expert at the same time, they can still not fall behind. This is evident from this.
Of course, this is without considering other factors such as professional restraint, equipment gap, terrain, etc.
"By the way, there is one more thing."
After checking Ginguo's attribute column again, Lei Xiao groped his chin and asked the young female guard: "Ginguo, do you know an epee named Qingguo?"
"To be honest, Lord, this person is my subordinate's brother, and he is currently on duty in the capital."
On the other side, Bai Guo took a step forward, cupped his fists and responded: "When my subordinate was young, my brother was just an ordinary mercenary.
Since we are the only two siblings in the family who depend on each other, my elder brother loves his subordinates very much, and his sword skills were also taught to them by his elder brother.
It wasn't until his subordinates entered the city lord's mansion and could survive on their own that my brother left Mailan Town and went to the royal capital to explore."
"I see, then things will be much easier to handle." Hearing this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
Immediately afterwards, he told Xuan Yue and Bai Guo about the target that he planned to conquer today, and the entourage around Ariel.
At the same time, he also briefly talked about his ultimate goal at this stage, which is to conquer Princess Ariel herself.
After listening to Lei Xiao's description, Xuan Yue and Bai Guo couldn't believe their ears. They opened their mouths slightly and fell into a sluggish state again.
As expected of the lord!
Even the majestic fifth princess Leng Yan, who is at the pinnacle of power in this country, does not pay attention to her, and even plans to make her a subordinate... It is simply unbelievable!
You must know that Princess Ariel, as the youngest princess of Leng Yan, has been favored by the old king since she was a child, not to mention the princes and nobles who flattered her and invited favors.
Therefore, it is no exaggeration to call Princess Ariel the Kingdom of All Cold Flames, the noblest among nobles, and the eldest lady among eldest ladies.
The most important thing is that the Lengyan royal family has ruled this land for hundreds of years, and every member is full of pride and contempt for all existences.
How easy is it to make these royal family members, who have received the most elite education and stand at the pinnacle of power, lower their noble heads?!
Thinking of this, Xuan Yue and Bai Guo swallowed involuntarily, and looked at Lei Xiao with an extra level of uncontrollable reverence.
After calming down for a while, Ging Guo, who was wearing a ponytail, stepped forward and said respectfully to Lei Xiao: "Lord, did you just say... that my brother is currently in Kongqing Town?"
Then, a look of loneliness appeared on her fair face, and she continued: "But, if that's the case, why didn't your brother come to see me, your biological sister?"
"You can't blame him for this." Hearing this, Lei Xiao waved his hand slightly, indicating that Ging Guo didn't need to worry.
In fact, the reason why this happened was naturally because of Lei Xiao's order.
The two elite squadrons that came with Princess Ariel were restricted to the barracks near the Lord's Mansion in Kongqing Town and were not allowed to go out at will.
Therefore, it is reasonable that Qingguo, as the deputy squadron leader of the Guards, cannot take leave to go to Mailan Town.
Immediately, Lei Xiao told Ging Guo all the ins and outs of the matter.
"So that's it." On the other side, Ging Guo nodded, then smiled confidently, cupped his fists and saluted Lei Xiao: "I would like to inform the lord, I will leave the subjugation of my brother to my subordinates.
Lord, please rest assured."
"Very good. In this case, the two current targets of subjugation, the maid Xinghui and the deputy squadron leader Qingguo, are already under my control."
Upon hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly, with a satisfied expression on his face.
Next, while flexing his muscles, Lei Xiao said to the young female city lord of Mailan Town: "By the way, Xuan Yue, how are the two third-level garrison commanders under your command?"
"Back to the lord, since the lord left that day, these two people have shown extremely high enthusiasm. When cleaning up the remaining forces of the three elders, they have been at the forefront."
At this time, Xuan Yue smiled and immediately responded: "My subordinates guessed that it was probably after seeing the lord's aura that day.
These two people's intestines are almost green with regret. It is conceivable that if they had not remained neutral at that time, but chose to show their loyalty to us, I am afraid they would have been rewarded by the lord."
"That's it." Lei Xiao smiled lightly, turned around and walked out of the piled treasure house, and asked sideways: "So, these two are pretty good?"
"Back to Lord, that's it." Xuan Yue quickly lifted up her skirt and followed Lei Xiao and said, "These two have been in Mailan Town for more than ten years, and there is no problem with their character."
At this point, Xuan Yue's eyes lit up and she added: "If the leader likes it, how about taking these two people under his command?
In this way, Mailan Town will be completely settled."
"Okay, just ask them to come see me." Lei Xiao nodded slightly and walked out of the treasure house.
…
A moment later, in the spacious and bright main hall of the city lord's mansion, Lei Xiao looked around.
At this time, the place had already been cleaned, even the rough and clear-textured marble floor tiles had been polished, and the air was filled with a faint floral fragrance.
These fragrances come from two bright and colorful small flower beds surrounding the throne of the city lord at the top.
Upon closer inspection, you can see that these colorful flowers are all in the shape of translucent crystals and emit a touch of fluorescence, just like exquisite works of art, which makes people dizzy.
The last time I came here, there was no such thing. It seems that it should be Xuan Yue's personal hobbies.
All in all, everything is simply unimaginable. Not long ago, this place was a battlefield filled with corpses.
"Lord, this is a rare magic flower that needs to be watered with a little magic power. I have been cultivating it for many years, but it has never bloomed.
It wasn't until the subordinates advanced to the third level that they began to bloom. Speaking of which, it's all thanks to the lord."
Looking at Lei Xiao's interested expression, Xuan Yue smiled and then introduced.
"That's it." After hearing this, Lei Xiao came to the flower clusters and stopped to observe, while nodding slightly.
A moment later, there was a crisp sound of armor clashing.
Two muscular figures appeared at the entrance of the hall. They were the two commanders of the garrison in Mailan Town.
When they saw Xuan Yue, these two people immediately bowed and saluted. Then, when they saw Lei Xiao standing calmly not far away, they couldn't help but look happy, and they also quickly saluted Lei Xiao as a standard knight.
present.
There is no doubt that Lei Xiao's previous scenes of being very powerful and spending money like water clearly left a very deep impression on the two of them.
"Commander Bran, Commander Maier, I believe this lord is no stranger to you, right?"
On the other side, Xuan Yue, the city lord, also bowed respectfully to Lei Xiao, and then said: "If this lord had not taken action at that time, I am afraid that the city lord standing in front of you would no longer be me.
"
Hearing this, the two commanders of the garrison couldn't help showing a look of embarrassment, and one of them hurriedly said: "Lord City Lord, we two didn't understand it at that time, and we regret it now.
"
At this time, expressions of regret once again appeared on the two men's resolute faces.
Otherwise, they would naturally be able to get to know the young man in front of them with a profound background.
"Now your second chance has come." She smiled at the two of them, and with Lei Xiao's permission, Xuan Yue told them about Lei Xiao's identity as an alien lord.
Of course, it also includes our current important goal, matters with Princess Ariel and her group.
In addition, we have to change the uniforms of all the people in Mailan Town, provide a large amount of third-level equipment and Qi Condensing Pills, and form a guard force.
At the same time, the Japanese knotweed exuding a vast aura had already completely sealed the entire room, making the two of them even more stunned.
Even Chao Yan, who had just been promoted to the fourth level of power, deliberately stood next to the two of them, completely displaying his powerful aura, with an unpredictable expression on his pretty face.
At this moment, the hearts of the two of them could be said to have set off huge waves in an instant.
Originally, they thought that the young big man in front of them should be the son of a noble family.
However, now, they realized that this young man with a calm face obviously had much more energy than they imagined!
Realizing this, the two of them immediately knelt down on one knee without any hesitation, bowed their heads deeply to Lei Xiao, and said in unison: "I am willing to be loyal to the lord! I am willing to go through fire and water for the lord!"
"Then, let's start signing the contract."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and as usual, Lei Xiao lowered his body and helped the two of them up one after another.
At the same time, two third-level recruitment orders flashing with silver light appeared in their hands.
After a while, the familiar success prompts began to ring in Lei Xiao's ears one after another.
[Congratulations, the third-order two-star light knight Bran Iron Cavalry has signed a master-servant contract with you and has become your new subordinate!]
[Congratulations, the third-level two-star spear warrior Maier Storm has signed a master-servant contract with you and has become your new subordinate! 】
Seeing that everything was going smoothly, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction, and then opened the attribute bar of the two of them.
[Name: Bran]
[Occupation: Light Knight]
[Level: Level 3, Two Stars]
[Loyalty: 100]
[Skill 1: Swift Thrust "Active" (physical single target attack, additional shield-breaking effect and armor-breaking effect)]
[Skill 2: Immediate Cross Slash "Active" (Physical Single Target Attack)]
[Skill Three: Sword and Gun Mastery "Passive" (When using a long sword or lance, the damage will be slightly increased)]
[Skill 2: Whirlwind "Active" (small range physical attack)]
[Skill Three: Great Sword Mastery "Passive" (When using a great sword, the damage will be moderately increased)]
After closing the attribute bar, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
With the loyalty of the two third-level garrison commanders, the stability of Mailan Town will undoubtedly be further consolidated and improved!
"Alright, Bran and Maier, take these."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao's heart moved slightly, a third-level lance and a third-level two-handed sword, two pieces of third-level plate armor, two storage rings, and the standard 15 first-level magic potions and 15
Second-level magic potions appeared in his hands one after another.
"Thank you very much, Lord!" On the other side, they received the priceless items handed over by Lei Xiao. Needless to say, the two of them were overjoyed, and they bowed their heads deeply to Lei Xiao again.
"While I'm away, assist Xuan Yue in governing Mailan Town. If you make great contributions in the future, I will have other rewards." Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao raised his hand to signal the two of them to stand up.
Just like that, after all this is completed.
Lei Xiao, who was sitting on the throne in the hall, discussed with Xuan Yue some other matters regarding Mailan Town, such as increasing food production, recruiting new soldiers, and supporting food for Magnet Town.
It was almost dusk when Xuan Yue and others watched him off.
With a group of strong men, he left Mailan Town and rushed towards Kongqing Town. Of course, he also brought Ginkgo with him.
By the time we returned to Kongqing Town, the sky was getting dark.
Lin, Fang Hai and Guan Zhong, who had just returned from Cishi Town, reunited with Lei Xiao at the Lord's Mansion in Kongqing Town.
"For your information, Lord, my subordinates have just dispatched hundreds of carriages from Kongqing Town and are heading to Magnet Town to pick up the residents who have moved back."
At this time, inside the hall of the city lord’s mansion in Kongqing Town.
I saw the dusty Lin take a step forward, bowed to Lei Xiao and reported: "And, while my subordinates are waiting for the three of them to return.
We have already brought back the parents and younger sister of the maid Xing Hui and placed them in a property near the City Lord's Mansion that belongs to the Shanglu Trade Fair."
"Very good." After hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Ging Guo who looked quite curious.
At this point, all preparations for subduing Ariel's two third-level followers, Xinghui and Qingguo, have been completed.
"In that case, let's start with Qingguo, who is the deputy captain of the guard."
Seeing the expectant look on Ging Guo's face, Lei Xiao smiled lightly.
…
Not far from the city lord's palace in Kongqing Town, there was a former idle barracks.
The Royal Guards and Maid Corps directly under the princess, as well as Lei Xiao's two squadrons of great swordsmen and a squadron of magicians are stationed here.
At this moment, the sky has completely darkened.
I saw stars dotted above the dark blue night sky, and two bright first quarter moons, exuding a pale golden brilliance.
Under the night sky, the huge barracks was full of people, and it was dinner time.
Although Lei Xiao strictly ordered the two elite squadrons under Ariel not to leave the barracks.
However, it provided them with excellent accommodation conditions and delicious food.
Moreover, during meal time, three of our own elite squadrons were deliberately placed next to the opponent's side.
From time to time, he talks about some of his own high-quality benefits, such as Qi Condensation Pills that may be rewarded at any time, more powerful fourth-level equipment, etc.
Hearing this, the second-level soldiers under the princess were all dumbfounded.
As elite warriors selected from many levels, their treatment can be said to be the highest in the Cold Flame Kingdom.
But being rewarded at any time with Qi Condensation Pills worth tens of thousands of golden dragons, and fourth-level equipment worth hundreds of thousands of golden dragons... is undoubtedly an incredible thing for them.
So much so that the vast majority of soldiers were skeptical about it.
However, when he thought about the loyalty of a fifth-level powerhouse beside Lei Xiao, he didn't even take Princess Ariel into consideration.
These soldiers were further shocked.
From this, Lei Xiao's goal has been achieved.
At least in the hearts of these elite soldiers, an unfathomable image was established, which laid a good foundation for the next action.
Having said that, in the military camp at this time, many soldiers had already finished their dinner and began to walk in groups towards the dormitories not far away.
"Vice Captain Qingguo, what are you thinking about?"
Among the crowd of three, three, two and two, I saw a young guard captain, approaching a burly commander who seemed to be deep in thought, and asked doubtfully.
Then, following the sight of the burly commander, the young team leader discovered.
The usually unsmiling vice-captain actually focused his attention on a group of laughing battle maids not far away.
Seeing this, the young captain suddenly showed an expression of enlightenment and said: "Vice captain, I happen to know a few single and pretty maids. Do you need..."
"Don't talk nonsense." He casually gave the squad leader a bang. The deputy captain named Qingguo took off his helmet and sighed softly: "I just suddenly thought of my sister. I haven't seen her in a few years. I don't know.
How is she doing?"
Just when the two of them were talking about this.
A slender figure with a ponytail suddenly appeared directly in front.
Clang.
The helmet in his hand fell to the ground, and an expression of disbelief suddenly appeared on Qingguo's resolute face.
