Lu Chen frowned when he mentioned this. There are many benefits to guarding. Not only can it help Lu Chen reduce stress, but Lu Chen can also harvest the evil spirits they hunted. Logically speaking, expanding the guard should be a good thing.
However, the barbarians are not slaves. Every time Lu Chen goes into battle, he will give his guards a lot of bonuses. At the same time, if they die in battle, Lu Chen will also be given a pension, as well as the cost of fighting. It can be said that once the guards are dispatched, the consumption of money will never be.
will be lacking.
Of course, if it was a normal hunt, relying on the trophies plus supplies from the royal court, as long as there were no major mistakes, Lu Chen would not lose too much, and he would even make a profit with his strong strength.
However, things were no longer normal when it came to Lu Chen. Spiritual items accounted for the majority of the barbarian war spoils. But now, all items containing spirituality were exchanged for black pearls by Lu Chen. Therefore, Lu Chen was a little worried.
But in the end, Lu Chen gritted his teeth and agreed to Ji Hongdie's proposal.
"As long as you follow me, even if I'm not around and they hunt, I can still get experience points. Although it's only one-tenth of what I would get if I did it myself, it's still a lot."
"If I expand my territory, I can form a town myself and let my subordinates form villages."
"I hunt evil spirits around the town and sit in the center of the town, while the warriors under me are expanding the territory. As long as they kill the evil spirits, I can gain experience points. If I have enough subordinates, I can gain experience even while sitting.
You can gain a steady stream of experience points.”
Thinking of this, Lu Chen felt a little excited.
However, he also has some considerations of his own.
"My subordinates must be stronger. If they are too weak, the village they formed will be easily destroyed. At that time, not only will I have no harvest, but I will also have to pay a large sum of property."
"Moreover, too many subordinates have died, and the clan will have objections to me. The eighth prince has been unable to gather enough manpower because he was possessed by evil spirits and destroyed the village. Now he has almost no chance of being crowned king."
While Lu Chen was thinking, Ji Hongdie also spoke: "I calculated the funds in our hands. Your Highness, you don't have a territory yet. You only have rewards from missions, and most of the spiritual items are owned by your Highness..."
Sir, according to my calculations, the number you can build now is around one hundred, which is the limit our family can afford."
"One hundred? I understand. I will let Weisong, Ya, and Ying recruit and expand their subordinates."
Helping Lu Chen rub his shoulders with one hand, Ji Hongdie stroked Lu Chen's chest with the other and said, "My lord husband, when your subordinates expand, I would like you to go there in person."
Ji Hongdie was afraid that if Lu Chen was away and Ya and others were recruiting subordinates, the subordinates would not obey Lu Chen's orders.
Lu Chen didn't care much about this.
He thought that when he was fighting for the throne, he would fight against thousands of troops by himself. Therefore, he cared more about his own strength than his subordinates. If Lu Chen could not gain experience points when his subordinates killed evil spirits, he would not recruit them.
Subordinates.
Therefore, if Lu Chen had time to recruit subordinates, he might as well practice his sword in his room.
Moreover, after recruiting his subordinates back, Lu Chen was not afraid of those people being disobedient.
When the others arrive, Lu Chen will face them head-on on the pretext of seeing their strength. After seeing Lu Chen's strength, those subordinates will know whose orders they should obey.
Seeing Lu Chen's lack of interest, Ji Hongdie rolled her eyes and thought of other ways.
"Your Highness, there are only seven days left until the exchange competition. The sons of leaders from all over the country, as well as young strong men who feel that they are powerful, have come to the royal court. There are some powerful people in the military camp. Don't you want to meet them, Your Highness?"
These words made Lu Chen react.
"There are only seven days left, time flies by so fast."
Yes, twenty days have passed since we returned from Shiniu Village.
After cleaning up the totem poles that day, Lu Chen and others took the Sky Whale back to the royal court.
There were no surprises along the way. After returning to the royal court, Lu Chen, who was eager to gain experience points, thought of attacking again.
However, he wanted to go out immediately, but his subordinates had to rest after two battles. Even if they were ferocious, they had to cultivate themselves. Fighting non-stop would crush them.
In desperation, Lu Chen could only rest for a while.
Of course, while Lu Chen rested, Xie was busy all the time. He wanted to report what happened in Shiniu Village to the royal court. Then Wu Zhu took some totem fragments and used witchcraft to feel something. He quickly confirmed that Xie
what was said.
Then came the rewards, of which Lu Chen got the lion's share.
Of course, Lu Chen took some of the rewarded spiritual items and gave them to Ji Hongdie, asking her to exchange them for blood-replenishing pills, spells, and cheap but useless spiritual items from Yunzhou for Lu Chen to absorb.
Being so busy lasted for a full week. When he had rested, Lu Chen started his second mission with Xie.
The mission this time was very clear. There was a powerful evil spirit haunting the village, and the village was unable to fight it, so it headed towards the royal court for rescue.
This mission was not an accident. After arriving at the place, Lu Chen and others sensed the evil spirit. After the evil spirit was beaten by Lu Chen's subordinates for a period of time, Lu Chen turned on the endless rage and directly relied on the power of Demacia.
Beheaded.
When Xie Sui died, Lu Chen gained 20,000 experience points, but that was all he gained that time.
Unwilling to be reconciled, Lu Chen scanned the surrounding villages again at night before returning to the royal court.
Then came another break, and then, the third mission.
But this mission, like the last one, is to deal with an evil spirit that the village cannot resist.
Arrive quickly on the Sky Whale, then attack and kill, sweep around at night, and return.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen was speechless.
"Well, I originally thought that I would encounter a treacherous situation in the Pioneer Camp, but now it seems that the treacherous situation is not so easy to form."
Going on a mission once and resting for a week, this situation made Lu Chen a little dissatisfied, but to be honest, the frequency of such battles was already very high.
After all, the barbarians risked their lives every time they went on a mission. There were four life-and-death missions in one month. If it weren't for the tenacity of the barbarians, they wouldn't have been able to persist.
And Lu Chen couldn't speed up the pace.
Thinking of the two completed tasks, Lu Chen took another look at the attribute interface.
Lu Chen directly ignored the other attributes, and he looked directly at the columns of experience value and aura value.
[Aura value: 830]
[Experience value: 110000]
Eight hundred points of spiritual energy and 110,000 experience points, this is what Lu Chen gained from his two gains plus his previous accumulation.
Of course, just from the mission, Lu Chen would not be able to gain so many experience points. After each mission, Lu Chen would sweep around the village and clean up all the evil spirits that could be dealt with.
That's why he was able to gain so many experience points.
These experience points are enough for Lu Chen to improve again.
However, after thinking about it for a while, Lu Chen did not improve anything else, but directly spoke to the system in his mind: "System, complement the Bull Demon Shock Fist."
