The person who appeared in front of Qin Qian was none other than Lei Xiao.
At this time, he was already wearing an illusion cloak, completely covering items such as the fourth-level leather armor and space bracelets that exuded extraordinary splendor.
In addition, because Lei Xiao had already experimented before this.
If you completely use illusion to disguise yourself, your identity as a lord will be hidden, making it impossible for other lords to identify you.
Therefore, in order to prove his identity as a lord, Lei Xiao took off the hood of the illusion cloak and revealed his true face.
Standing around him were Huzhang and others who had completely transformed themselves using illusion magic. They looked no different from ordinary farmers.
"At the beginning, I originally planned to use an invisibility cloak and quietly follow these people.
But in this way, as a bystander, it is impossible to communicate with other lords and further understand the current situation and the current situation of other lords.
Therefore, after much thought, it is most appropriate to directly join these lords as an ordinary lord."
Thinking of this and looking at Qin Qian walking towards him, Lei Xiao couldn't help but curled his lips slightly and continued to think secretly in his heart: "Just now, I heard those Sanren lords say.
This is the camp of the Xiaoshen Group, and I just planned to sneak in. I wanted to see how my fans were doing, but I didn't expect them to be too eye-catching.
It seems that my fan base is more cautious and strict than I thought.
Of course, I am fully prepared for this."
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this.
On the other side, the heroic Qin Qian had already arrived in front of Lei Xiao with several other male and female lords who were also armed with sharp blades.
I saw Qin Qian, who was surrounded in the middle, her starry eyes twinkling at first, and she looked up and down at Lei Xiao, who was dressed in simple clothes, and the five people behind her who were no different from ordinary farmers.
Then Dai Mei frowned slightly and said: "Friends, here is the team of our Xiaoshen Regiment members, and the team of Sanren Lords is over there."
After Qin Qian finished speaking, a tall and thin male lord next to him also frowned and said: "Brother, you are leading five unarmed peasants by yourself. I advise you to return to your territory as soon as possible.
Such a weak force will definitely be used as cannon fodder by other Sanren lords at the front."
Directly opposite, after hearing the words of the two men, Lei Xiao shrugged slightly and responded calmly: "Actually, I am also a member of the Xiaoshen Group."
"Stop joking, with your strength, you are also a member of our Xiaoshen Group?"
Hearing this, another male lord who was slightly fatter laughed disdainfully and said disdainfully: "Friend, are you trying to sneak into the ranks of our Xiaoshen Regiment and take advantage of this opportunity to gain some benefits?"
Although the main purpose of our Xiaoshen Group is to advocate win-win cooperation among the lords, we should work together to fight against the more powerful enemies in this world, the local indigenous people.
But we will never allow other lords to usurp any of our interests, so you should give up this idea as soon as possible."
"Hu Liang, don't jump to conclusions before the matter is clarified."
Waving her hand to the slightly fat male lord, Qin Qian could not help but reveal a look of doubt on her delicate cheeks.
Then he said to Lei Xiao: "So, you also saw the meeting place messages I sent in many chat channels, and that's why you came here, right?"
"Almost." Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows noncommittally, but Lei Xiao still had a calm expression.
"Friend, don't ask for trouble. Not only do you have no weapons, but even your subordinates are empty-handed.
With your strength, you are not qualified to join our Xiaoshen Regiment." On the other side, the male lord named Hu Liang smiled disdainfully.
As soon as Hu Liang said this, several other lords of the Xiao Shen Tuan also started to boo.
"Yes, yes, I didn't expect this guy to be so stubborn!"
"Our Xiaoshen Group is an organization that follows the boss of Xiaoshen. Not just anyone can join!"
"That's right, you're going to die if you go there, so why don't you listen to my advice?"
"Yes, that's right, Commander Qin Qian, don't waste any time talking to this kind of guy who doesn't know how to live or die!"
…
First, she signaled the surrounding lords to quiet down. Qin Qian looked at Lei Xiao who still looked calm and calm, and the doubts in her heart became more intense.
Faced with so many sarcastic words, it is simply incomprehensible that this young man, who is weak and has no energy fluctuations in his body, can be so calm.
You must know that the standard for this joint crusade is to bring at least 30 fully armed subordinates to be eligible to participate.
And he only brought five farmers with him, so he obviously did not have this qualification.
"Does he still think that his five unarmed subordinates can compete with 30 other people's fully armed subordinates?"
Thinking of this, Qin Qian's dark eyebrows seemed to be twisted together, her long eyelashes blinked slightly, and she continued to think secretly in her heart: "I can imagine.
The other subordinates of this young man were probably attacked by monsters on their way here and died.
Therefore, you are planning to infiltrate the Xiaoshen Group and take advantage of the opportunity to get some benefits, right? After all, the Xiaoshen Group has a great reputation, with members all over the place, and countless talented lords.
Perhaps the reason why he was so calm was because he had seen through his attempt to fish in troubled waters, and maybe he was still trying to save face.
Then, check with him one last time, and if you still can’t get an answer, there’s no need to talk nonsense with this kind of person.”
Thinking of this, Qin Qian's dark eyebrows on her fair cheeks relaxed a little, and asked patiently: "My friend, since you insist on saying that you are a member of our Xiaoshen Group.
So, which group of Xiaoshen are you from? And who introduced you?"
"Xiao Shen No. 6 Regiment, Lin Chuan." Directly opposite, Lei Xiao said with a calm smile.
There is no doubt why Lei Xiao said this.
Naturally, it was because he had already said hello to Lin Chuan, who had rescued him once before and was gifted as the Quiet City Moving Division, and the identity of the other party was the deputy leader of the No. 6 Regiment.
On the other side, when Lin Chuan received Lei Xiao's message, he almost cried with joy and quickly agreed.
You know, this is a favor from the Xiaoshen boss! Ordinary people won't get such an opportunity even if they grab the head!
As the deputy leader of Regiment No. 6, it was naturally easy to make up an identity for Lei Xiao.
Just like that, a moment passed.
Qin Qian, who was originally a good friend of Lin Chuan, immediately received a positive reply after sending the private message.
Moreover, according to Lei Xiao's instructions, Lin Chuan did not reveal Lei Xiao's true identity.
But she couldn't help but add the word "congratulations" at the end of her reply. Qin Qian was confused and thought the other person was just wishing her a smooth operation.
"Okay, don't be suspicious, I've already confirmed it.
This companion's name is Sha Chen, and he is indeed a member of our Xiaoshen Group." Qin Qian shook her head slightly, and then said.
Although the indifferent young man who suddenly appeared had only 5 subordinates and did not carry any weapons and equipment.
But since the other party is really a member of the Xiaoshen Regiment, then naturally, as the leader of the No. 9 Regiment, she cannot ignore it.
Realizing this, Qin Qian said to Lei Xiao helplessly: "Sha Chen, then you can join us. Your strength is the weakest. By then, you can be in the center of the team.
Moreover, according to the original rules, after our operation is successful, we can still get the same share of the loot as other companions."
Having said this, Qin Qian pondered for a moment and continued to say to the other lords around her: "Okay, from now on, Sha Chen will be our companion in fighting together.
Although his strength is weak, he is still a member of our Xiaoshen Group. I hope you all can live in peace and not break the rules of our Xiaoshen Group."
"I didn't expect that this guy is actually a member of our Xiaoshen Group."
Hearing this, the aggressive aura of the male lord named Hu Liang suddenly weakened a bit, and he could only snort softly.
He reluctantly said: "Each of us is more than 30 heavily armed subordinates.
He only brought five of them, and he even wanted to share the spoils with us, so he really got a big deal."
As soon as these words came out, the other lords who had just made noises also followed up and whispered in agreement: "That's right.
I didn’t expect that the threshold for the No. 6 Regiment was so low, it’s so different from our No. 9 Regiment!”
"We are all members of the Xiaoshen Regiment, so why not help this brother Shachen."
On the other side, the tall and thin male lord at the beginning came to Lei Xiao first.
He stretched out his generous palm and said: "Brother Shachen, my name is Jiang Hao. Welcome to join our team!"
"You're welcome, I just stopped by to take a look." Directly across from him, Lei Xiao shook hands with the other party and said with a faint smile.
Next, during a chat with Jiang Hao, Lei Xiao learned more.
Because this Songyin Mountain Range spans almost half of the Leng Yan Kingdom, it covers an extremely vast area, and there are countless mountains, forests, and lakes in it.
Therefore, almost all the lords they gathered came from the surrounding mountains.
The most important thing is that this place is not only rich in products.
Moreover, in the area between the core and the periphery of the Songyin Mountains, most of the people moving around are first-order and a small number of second-order monsters.
Therefore, in this area, it will not be harassed by the natives outside the mountains, but it is also some distance away from the powerful monsters in the core area, which can be said to be very suitable for development.
The above points, coupled with the establishment of the Xiaoshen No. 9 Regiment headed by Qin Qian, and the Shanhai Alliance, another organization here.
It also brought the surrounding lords together, forming two large forces, which kept this area in a relatively stable state.
As for the Xiaoshen No. 9 Regiment and the Shanhai Alliance, the two lord forces were competing for territory.
Although there were constant minor frictions and dislike of each other, things were always peaceful and there were no large-scale battles.
After all, the two forces are evenly matched, and no one is willing to kill one thousand enemies at the expense of eight hundred.
In addition, during this process, some lords of the killing faction also appeared, but in the end they were all wiped out.
"That's it." After hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly, while turning his dark eyes, he looked at the nearly thirty lords in different costumes around him.
It can be clearly seen among the beautiful mountains and clear waters.
The lords of the Xiaoshen Regiment and the Shanhai Alliance are indeed better than the individual lords in terms of their clothing and equipment.
At the same time, they are also the two lord teams with the strongest overall strength that Lei Xiao has ever seen. The size of each team has reached 300 to 400 people.
Moreover, according to Jiang Hao, such a scale is already considered an extremely huge force among the lords.
After all, there are indeed not many places as suitable for development as here, and most of the lords' territories are not as dense as here.
Of course, even with such strength, it is not worth mentioning to Lei Xiao.
"It seems that the level of development here is already the ceiling for most lords, right?"
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly and couldn't help but show doubts.
He murmured to himself: "Speaking of which, what exactly are the actions these lords are talking about?"
Just when Lei Xiao was thinking about this.
On the other side, Jiang Hao seemed to have thought of something, smiled slightly, took out a mottled stone ax from behind, handed it to Lei Xiao and said, "Brother Sha Chen.
You should keep this for self-defense first, it’s better than nothing.”
He took the rough ax handed over from Jiang Hao with some surprise. Lei Xiao thanked him first, and then said in his heart he couldn't laugh or cry: "Good guy, this rough logging ax looks really nostalgic."
"Brother Shachen, you're welcome. We are all members of the Xiaoshen Group. If the boss of Xiaoshen were present, he would do the same thing."
After speaking, Jiang Hao's eyes suddenly showed a look of uncontrollable reverence.
"It would be interesting if the Xiaoshen boss was here and saw such a good fisherman in the Xiaoshen group!"
Hearing this, Hu Liang snorted disdainfully, and then left with several other lords.
"Hu Liang, if you continue to stir up trouble like this, I'm going to ask Captain Qin Qian for comment." Jiang Hao first shouted at those figures from behind.
Then he turned his head and said to Lei Xiao with some embarrassment: "Brother Shachen, don't be offended. In fact, that guy is quite nice."
"It's okay." Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a calm smile.
Regarding those people, Lei Xiao would naturally not care about them.
He came here this time to participate in this so-called crusade as an ordinary lord and take the opportunity to learn more about the current situation of the lords.
At this stage, it is still very rare to encounter such an action where dozens of lords gather together.
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao did not hesitate, and immediately asked the question in his mind: "To be honest, my coming here this time was purely accidental.
I wonder why you are gathering here?"
"So that's it. No wonder Brother Shachen only brought five subordinates here. I guess the territory shouldn't be far from here, right?"
On the other side, Jiang Hao nodded thoughtfully.
This mountain range is full of ravines and covered with dense vegetation. It is naturally an easy task to hide a lord's mansion and several buildings.
Realizing this, Jiang Hao first smiled slightly, and then responded: "Since Brother Shachen is also from our Xiaoshen Regiment, then naturally I don't need to hide it.
Yesterday morning, a member of our Xiaoshen No. 9 group who had awakened his talent for treasure hunting was not far from this mountain stream.
An extremely hidden natural cave was discovered, and it was concluded that there must be treasures or similar high-value items inside.
And that cave happened to be located on the boundary of the Shanhai League, so after several unpleasant communications, we and the guys from the Shanhai League formed a joint exploration team.
The specific lineup, including several capable lords such as Captain Qin Qian and the opponent's boss Lu Ling, as well as more than twenty elite warrior subordinates with first-order seven stars or above, entered the underground cave together. "
Having said this, Jiang Hao paused for a moment and then said: "According to Captain Qin Qian, there is a cave in that underground cave, and the space can be said to be extremely vast.
However, not long after entering the cave, the team was attacked by a group of first-level and second-level monsters, and they had to fight to the death to escape.
Through our experience during this period, we have found that the more people there are, the less likely most of the monsters will be to show up at will.
Therefore, after discussing with the other party, we plan to concentrate a lot of manpower and explore again. If we are lucky, we may be able to obtain the treasures without fighting.
In addition, in order to call in more manpower, just in case something unexpected happens.
Captain Qin Qian also announced the gathering location in the chat channel. As long as all the lords who come come follow the command, the treasures will be distributed equally in the end."
"I see."
Hearing this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and thought to himself: "It would be a bit interesting for a thousand people to explore a vast underground cave together.
However, what makes me more curious is naturally the treasures inside.
Having said that, have two organizations that dislike each other chosen to cooperate now? I’m afraid things won’t be that simple, right?
That’s all, I am just an ordinary lord now, just wait and see what happens.”
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this, he saw several figures of lords walking over from the Shanhai Alliance camp.
The leader was the young man named Lu Ling who was carrying a two-handed sword.
When I got closer, I saw him smiling slightly, and first said: "Okay, Commander Qin.
The time is almost up, so let me ask you, the Xiaoshen Group, to take the lead and take charge of the two wings."
At this time, it could be clearly heard from his tone that he obviously did not take Qin Qian seriously.
"Are we taking the lead and taking charge of the two wings? Are you kidding me? Didn't we agree to distribute it evenly?"
On the other side, Qin Qian snorted lightly, and then said tit for tat: "Don't forget, I am the commander of this operation!"
"You said you were the conductor?"
Hearing this, Lu Ling seemed to have heard a big joke and laughed loudly: "How could I let you be the commander of this operation?"
"Lu Ling, what do you mean?" Looking at the other party's joking expression, Qin Qian's fair cheeks began to darken.
