Just when Lei Xiao and a group of subordinates were about to enter the gate of Red Arrow Town.
Donna's somewhat urgent voice sounded immediately behind the group of people.
"Anything else?"
Hearing this, Lei Xiao did not stop, but turned his head slightly as he walked.
"Sir, may I ask why you entered Red Arrow Town?" Donna quickened her pace and immediately followed.
"Of course it's to completely eliminate Luo Ji's power here." Lei Xiao smiled lightly and said without hesitation.
This time, even though there were only seven people on our side, including Lei Xiao himself.
But the lineup of one fifth-level strongman, two fourth-level strongmen, and four third-level strongmen is already quite luxurious.
In addition, as usual, when Lei Xiao leaves the territory.
He carries twenty-four earth guardians who have reached the third-level three-star level, and two sky guardians of the same level.
This kind of combat power is naturally more than enough to deal with a small town that is not as big as Magnet Town.
"it is as expected……"
Hearing this, Donna didn't hesitate, and then said with a serious look on her face: "Sir, even if you are extremely powerful, you must be unfamiliar with the place when you first arrive here.
We are willing to sacrifice our lives to serve as your guide to repay your kindness in helping you!"
At the same time, the young and handsome mercenaries around her, the middle-aged mercenary Rock, and the middle-aged Pastor Patch and others also showed firm expressions on their faces and bowed to Lei Xiao.
"Not only did he almost have a conflict with the soldiers of Red Arrow Town, but he also served as a guide for these powerful men and fought their way into Red Arrow Town.
This is the craziest thing I've ever done in my life...and I hope it's not the last."
At this moment, the middle-aged mercenary Luo Ke couldn't help but gulp down a mouthful of saliva while having mixed feelings in his heart.
As for the young and handsome mercenary, when he looked at Lei Xiao, his eyes were filled with uncontrollable admiration, and he was so excited that he could hardly speak.
"Be a guide?"
At the gate of the city, Lei Xiao slowly stopped and couldn't help but reveal a hint of contemplation.
Originally, he planned to eliminate the forces of Marquis Luoji entrenched in Red Arrow Town, and then directly sneaked into Pine Tower City to settle the score with him.
After all, this guy has a murderous intention against him, and he has also sent spies to Kongqing Town to gather information, so naturally he cannot let him go.
As for this town that was already riddled with holes, Lei Xiao didn't have any special arrangements.
As you can imagine, it would undoubtedly be an extremely difficult and time-consuming task to reorganize a garrison team from scratch here.
Therefore, Lei Xiao just ordered that Mailan Town, our own city closest to here, be prepared to receive the refugee civilians.
"In that case, it would be a good choice if we could hire a group of trustworthy mercenaries for a long time to guard the city."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, and then his mind moved, and a handful of shining golden coins appeared in his hand.
"Here are 19 golden dragons."
First, he handed these gold coins into Donna's hands, and Lei Xiao said calmly: "There are a total of 10 people in your team.
One second-level expert, nine first-level experts. The second-level expert gets 10 coins, and the first-level expert gets 1 piece.
Consider these your commissions today, and my employment contract with you can be effective for a long time.
After cooperating with me to completely clean up this place.
Your mission is only one, and that is to defend this town from any threat from external enemies."
After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for anyone else present to react.
Lei Xiao waved his hand again, and ten boxes of golden coins appeared in front of everyone.
At this time, under the shining of two brilliant suns.
In a row of exquisite treasure chests, the golden dragons that were about to overflow were shining brightly, reflecting dazzling golden lights one after another.
This scene immediately caused an uproar among the surrounding crowd and the team that followed.
There is no doubt that not to mention these mercenaries, not even the merchants who hired them have ever seen such a huge number of golden dragons appear at the same time!
For a time, there was an endless stream of longing and shocked looks, and even more exclamations sounded from all directions.
"Oh my God, there are a hundred thousand golden dragons here."
"As expected of one of the other two princes and royal highnesses, with such strong financial resources, it is really terrifying."
"Is it one golden dragon every day? In this case, an ordinary mercenary of the first level will get 30 golden dragons in a month!
You know, even if you are an old mercenary at the peak level of the first level, on a good day, you can only get 15 golden dragons at most in a month!"
"Yes, yes, a rookie mercenary like me only has 8 golden dragons a month."
"My strength is also at the peak level of the second level. The most I can get is 130 golden dragons a month.
And just by messing around with this gentleman, wouldn’t it be possible to get 300 golden dragons in a month? It’s simply unbelievable!”
"The most important thing is that this is a defense mission that is difficult to encounter in ordinary people! It is no different from a vacation!"
…
Hearing this, Lei Xiao continued to maintain a faint smile.
When he first captured Kongqing Town, he conducted in-depth research on the monthly income of the mercenaries.
Therefore, such a reaction was naturally expected by him.
"Young master, are you still missing some fighters? There are two second-level experts in the villain's team, and five are at the peak of first-level strength, with complete professional equipment.
It is a twenty-year-old mercenary team certified by the Mercenary Guild. Its credibility is guaranteed and it has never violated its contract!"
"My lord, my lord! There are three first-level peak level magicians in my team. They have excellent long-range strike capabilities. Please hire me!"
"Brothers, calm down! If you follow this master, you are going against Marquis Rocky! The end will be very tragic!"
"What are you afraid of? Behind this lord, there is also one of the two princes and highnesses standing. Are you still afraid of that old dog Luo Ji?
Besides, what kind of torture have these people in Red Arrow Town already suffered? We are doing justice to God!"
"It's just that I have long been displeased with these soldiers who do all kinds of evil in Red Arrow Town.
Today I will use the huge ax in my hand to teach these guys a lesson!"
…
Looking at the mercenaries not far away, the atmosphere was gradually rising, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
Then he said to Donna, who was still dumbfounded at the side: "Go ahead, I will leave all the selection of mercenaries to you.
Just choose what kind of team you think is suitable to be stationed here."
Before that, Lei Xiao had naturally seen the ins and outs of the confrontation between the female mercenary captain and the soldiers defending the city.
In addition, this person took the initiative to help others regardless of the danger, so entrusting this task to her was undoubtedly the best choice.
"Sir, you mean...let me be in charge from now on?"
Hearing this, the long eyelashes on Donna's delicate face trembled slightly, with a look of astonishment.
"Yes, it can be understood that way." Lei Xiao nodded slightly, waved his hand and said: "Time is tight, go quickly."
"As you command! Sir!" After hearing this, Donna and her team members trotted all the way and immediately began to work.
Since most of these mercenaries know each other, they also know each other's character and past very well.
Therefore, within a short time, Donna quickly returned to Lei Xiao's presence.
Immediately afterwards, her sassy voice reached Lei Xiao's ears: "Master Qi.
Currently, I have selected ten mercenary squads with good strength and combat capabilities, and have temporarily formed a mercenary squadron.
As for signing the employment contract, it can be done later at the mercenary guild in the city.
In addition, the mercenaries staying in the city should be able to form a second mercenary squadron.
However, since there is no large-scale mercenary group nearby, it is difficult to recruit mercenaries larger than a small team.
But please rest assured, sir, they are definitely very reliable guys."
"Very good, I will deposit a large amount of commission directly into the mercenary guild here in a while."
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment and then said: "By the way, the strength of the two squadrons is far from enough.
Let the news go out later, and be sure to recruit a large group of mercenaries in the near future to protect the city.
If there is a large-scale mercenary group of squadron or above coming to submit, we must carefully check it."
There is no doubt that this is true for Lei Xiao, who currently holds tens of millions of golden dragons.
Of course it's not a problem, it can only be described as a drop in the bucket.
The most important thing is to hire a large number of mercenaries to protect the city and even conduct large-scale legion operations.
For our side, it is obviously a brand new attempt.
As you can imagine, there is still a big gap between mercenaries who are good at small team combat and professional soldiers who are good at large-scale military formation combat, and their behavior is completely different.
However, with Lei Xiao's financial resources, theoretically it may not be impossible to gather all the huge number of mercenaries in Leng Yan.
In this way, quantitative changes will naturally lead to qualitative changes.
The mercenary troops, which are not weak in their own right, will have no problem cooperating with the regular troops in attack and defense.
"In short, although this idea has been proposed before, it is a brand new attempt after all.
Let’s start with this mercenary force.”
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, and then deliberately raised his voice a lot.
Then he said calmly: "By the way, if I find any mercenaries who dare to continue to be arrogant and domineering here, the consequences will be the same as these black-armored soldiers lying on the ground."
"Yes! Please don't worry, sir!" Upon hearing this, Donna quickly bowed again.
The selected mercenaries, after taking a look at the corpses scattered on the ground, all had expressions of awe and nodded quickly.
"Okay, the other mercenary teams will stay here to guard the gate and clean up the battlefield for the time being. Your team will follow me alone."
Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao waved his hand and put the ten boxes of glittering golden dragons back into his pocket, and took his own steps again.
After successfully entering the city, Lei Xiao noticed.
In the streets and alleys of this Red Arrow Town, dead leaves are falling, the doorways are deserted, and everything is desolate.
There were only a few scattered shops open on the street, and the few pedestrians passing by were all dressed as merchants and mercenaries.
"Sir, this is the outer part of this town. Only outsiders like us can stay."
At this time, Donna took a step forward with a solemn look on her face. She sighed softly and then introduced: "The residents in the city are all controlled by the people in power here.
They were concentrated in the more closed inner city area, where the guards were even tighter and denser, with about nine squadrons of troops.
Among them, there is an elite second-order Guards Squadron, all soldiers directly under Marquis Rocky who were transferred from Pine Tower City.
Moreover, the person in charge here himself is a ruthless and ruthless third-level peak powerhouse, so please be careful."
"It's pretty much what I expected." Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded.
This special town falls within the sphere of influence of Marquis Rocky, so naturally no one dares to mess with it.
Therefore, a team of one thousand soldiers was enough to completely suppress the residents of the city.
"I have to say that this is the first time I've seen a city's garrison. It's not external but focused on internal affairs."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but curled his lips slightly.
"Sir, the aura at the bell tower in front is very dense, forming a very impressive momentum. It seems that there are about eight or nine hundred people."
Immediately afterwards, the rough sound of the knotweed sounded in Lei Xiao's ears again.
"Sir, next to the clock tower is the wall area of the inner city!"
On the other side, Donna quickly added: "That inner wall is like a heavy shackle, completely isolating the poor residents in the city from the outside."
"I see. No wonder reinforcements haven't appeared for so long. It seems that the enemy is arranging their troops there, waiting for us to fall into their trap."
Looking at a tall black bell tower in the distance, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
Just like that, after passing through several empty streets.
Another towering city wall appeared not far in front of Lei Xiao.
Looking carefully, this city wall is at least six or seven meters high.
The place was already densely packed with a large number of archers, crossbowmen and magicians who were waiting for murderous intent.
Under the bright sunshine, the cold light shining from the tip of the sharp arrow complements the small magic circle that is constantly rotating at the top of the staff, ready to go.
Then, taking advantage of the cold aura emitted by nearly a thousand people at the same time, and the strong murderous intention that had already filled the air.
Donna and the mercenaries beside her couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of spit, feeling a chill running down their spines.
As for Lei Xiao and his party, they still had a calm look on their faces, obviously not taking this into consideration at all.
"Is this the inner wall that blocks the residents of the city?"
At this time, looking at the towering and solid city wall in the distance, Lei Xiao said lightly: "Then, let me completely break this heavy shackles that have imprisoned the residents of the city for many years."
