I hurriedly came to the pond and found that there was no conflict yet, and the two parties clearly occupied both sides of the pond.
Qin Feng breathed out gently. It would be a pity if the rat-men escaped during the battle. The key is Liu Shui and other Taoist priests. Liu Shui can already use the three spells of spiritual energy shield, rejuvenation, and ice arrow. The other Taoist priests have almost reached the first level.
They will be even more important in the future.
When I arrived at Liuyun's camp, I entered his tent and found that there was another person. He was blond and blue-eyed, with a golden crescent beard under his big nose. He was tall and wearing a full set of silver knight armor. You could see bright silver locks from his neck.
Zijia, with a standard knight's sword hanging on his back.
When the visitor saw Qin Feng coming in, he stood up calmly, made a fist with his right hand and hit his right chest and then put it down. This is a etiquette that only knights who consider themselves Beiyamo would use. "Nice to meet you, Tenglong Mercenary Group"
Head of the group."
Qin Feng raised his eyebrows. He didn't feel like those rude low-level mercenaries. He put his right hands together into a palm, with the tips of his index and middle fingers
He swept it across his temples and put it down. Then he ignored the other person's surprised look and said to the Taoist priest Liu Shui next to him in Blue Star Language: "You take the rat-man captives back to the cave of the Tooth Tribe first."
The soldiers recruited by Sarcool can imprint the mother tongue of Blue Star and the lingua franca of this world from Qin Feng's mind. Normally, they use Blue Star language, which makes Qin Feng feel more familiar, but if there is a business alliance,
He also uses the lingua franca of this world, except he doesn't want others to know what he wants to say.
"Yes, Commander." Taoist Liu Shui turned around and went out. After a while, a large number of rat men, led by a small number of rat men, headed towards the mountain.
Qin Feng had no desire to continue talking. He didn't have much communication with these mercenaries. His previous idea of hiring mercenaries gradually improved with his strength, making it unnecessary for him to hire mercenaries.
So I poured myself a glass of water and drank a few glasses. I was really thirsty when I came here in a hurry.
"I am Andri, the deputy leader from the Red Wolf Mercenary Group. I think we have some opportunities to cooperate, which can make us mutually beneficial." Deputy leader Andri quietly watched Qin Feng drink the water before speaking.
.
Although I have investigated Qin Feng's origin from the beginning, I thought he was a knight from Bei Yamo. He was previously wearing leather armor in the style of Bei Yamo, but later he changed it to other armors that he had never seen before.
He has never used the etiquette of the North Asian Knights. It is possible that there is an error in the information, or there may be other reasons. However, Deputy Captain Andri did not ask questions about this matter first. He thought that these questions could wait until the two of them became familiar with each other.
ask.
"What cooperation?" Qin Feng put down the cup and listened to him.
"We in the Red Wolf Mercenary Group have a large number of contacts in Greenstone Town and know many nobles and businessmen. We even have contacts in Doherty City, the capital of the Kingdom of Paya. The products of the Tenglong Mercenary Group can be purchased by us.
Act as an agent to achieve a win-win result." Deputy Team Leader Andri looked at Qin Feng seriously, trying to read his thoughts at the moment from his face.
"How to distribute?" Qin Feng doesn't mind expanding business paths.
Deputy Commander Andri showed a sincere smile on his face, "The goods are naturally provided by your mercenary group. We are responsible for picking up the goods from you and protecting them from being plundered by bandits along the way. We also sell them when they arrive in towns and capitals, and then
I think we need to put in a lot of energy to protect the gold coins and send them back to you, but...our leader thinks we can become friends, so we won't ask for too high a price, and the profit from the goods will be 50/50..."
Qin Feng touched his nose and suddenly felt like killing someone, so he said lightly: "You can get the same price as other merchants, but there is no other way to trade."
"We agreed." Deputy leader Andre agreed simply. Looking at his smiling expression, Qin Feng felt like he was being fooled again, but thinking about it, he had nothing to lose, so he no longer had impulsive thoughts.
Deputy Commander Andri came to the door of the tent, opened the door curtain and looked at the station of the Ming Dynasty Army. He turned to look at Qin Feng and said: "Captain Qin Feng, do you know that you have violated the laws of the Kingdom of Paya?"
Qin Feng was embarrassed in his heart, but his expression remained calm, "Oh? I don't know which law it is. I really don't have the patience to read the laws in Paya Kingdom as many as yaks."
Deputy Commander Andri raised a finger and said: "First, the Kingdom of Paya stipulates that mercenary groups need to report to the official office to report their number, strength, equipment, and business area."
He stretched out his second finger and said, "Two, the number of people must not exceed 500." Then the third finger said, "You can only leave the officially designated business area with the permission of the local nobles."
"Rat Mountain does not belong to the territory of the Kingdom of Paya. When you obtain goods from the Rat People and then enter the territory of the Kingdom of Paya, you need to pay 20% of the commodity transit tax, and then pay 30% of the goods to the royal family of the Kingdom of Paya.
Tradeable tax.”
Qin Feng's face was full of black lines, and he felt that he had better liberate the whole dark world without having to worry. "But does the Paya Kingdom have the ability to collect taxes now? It is estimated that the tax official may be robbed as soon as he receives the money.
Killed."
Deputy Commander Andri smiled and said, "You are right. The mercenary groups outside the city really don't pay much attention to them now, but if you want to deal with the city, it's better to obey them. The authority of noble gentlemen is still a little bit in the city.
Influenced.”
Qin Feng nodded, indicating that he understood.
"The combat effectiveness of the Tenglong Mercenary Group is obvious to all. Are you interested in our cooperation?" The deputy leader's smile made Qin Feng see an old fox.
Qin Feng heard the implication and did not answer the words. He turned on the light screen and saw that the map of Rat Mountain had expanded a lot. This was because Qin Feng had built sentry towers along the way.
I saw several little people carrying flags moving slowly among the mountains and forests on the big map. The largest group showed more than 300 people, and the smaller ones were about 20 people.
Moreover, the team of 300 people is already very close to Qin Feng and others.
"More than 300 bandits?" Qin Feng looked at the deputy captain Andri playfully, "As long as you pay, I will be responsible for protecting you, how about it? Our price is very fair, dear..."
"I think we can help you clear up other gangs of robbers. How about that as a reward for you?" Andri, the deputy leader, said with a smile.
In the end, Qin Feng did not ask the Red Wolf mercenary group to participate in the war. The large bandit groups would only be Qin Feng's prisoners and future members of the death squads. The other small bandit groups were too scattered. The Ming soldiers had to cover a lot of distances and the effect was very low.
, as long as the rat men in each stronghold continue to make sneak attacks, and let them lack water, food, injuries and fall behind, they will naturally be disintegrated.
Mountain roads are not easy for human armies to walk, and they are narrow, making it difficult to deploy large-scale formations.
Although Qin Feng did not let them participate in the battle, he asked them to leave Rat Mountain with him this time. After all, this is his territory from now on. If anyone enters the mountain in the future, the enemies of the Tenglong Mercenary Group will resolutely attack them.
Qin Feng has recruited two teams of guard archers and two teams of guard swordsmen in the past few days. Because their short-term combat and long-distance combat are very advantageous in mountain operations, Qin Feng combined them with the general banner Liu Zheng
A team of guard infantry stayed in the Baotang tribe, and there were also 7 Taoist priests recruited by the new Taoist temple. They will be stationed in Rat Mountain to cooperate with the Ratman leader White Fang for development. As a result, Sarcool's spiritual energy value dropped to 13634 points.
.
In addition to the 350 soldiers left behind, Qin Feng also had 700 Ming soldiers, 42 militiamen led by Bei Yamo, and 117 death squads. A total of 859 soldiers, plus 7 Taoist priests, a spy, and a businessman
.
Walking on one of the mountain roads, it would take half a magic hour to meet the bandit team of more than 300 people. Qin Feng put the death squad in front, followed by two groups of archers, and the remaining troops formed formations to follow.
Qin Feng walked in the middle of the Ming Dynasty soldiers, and was accompanied by Andri, the deputy leader of the Red Wolf Mercenary Regiment.
"The fighting power of the Tenglong Mercenary Group is really strong. In less than a month, the bandits near Greenstone Town have basically been wiped out by your mercenary group." Deputy Commander Andri looked at the famous warriors around him as he walked.
, the lineup was neat, and a chilling atmosphere arose spontaneously.
Qin Feng just learned that the mercenaries who followed him at the end were not all from the Red Wolf Mercenary Group, but elite soldiers from dozens of mercenaries who came to gather information. The Red Wolf Mercenary Group only had 20 people.
"The nobles of Greenstone Town have to give me a bounty. After all, our Tenglong Mercenary Group did them a big favor and restored local security..." Qin Feng joked, knowing that he would take out a copper plate from the pockets of the nobles.
They are all whimsical. The deeds of stingy noble gentlemen are familiar even in the most remote villages.
As he spoke, he looked at the light screen and saw that the death squads and the robbers met.
Qin Feng pointed his finger at the guard archers in the rear team and the death squads in the front team, and ordered softly: "200 meters in front of the archers, after three rounds of ejection, the death squads will charge..."
Even if the death squad members block the view of the guard archers, Qin Feng can give reminders through battlefield vision.
Switch to the light screen page and check out the buildings that can be upgraded by Sarcoor in upgrading large towns. I took a casual look and took a breath. The cost of each building is not less than 1000, except for the watchtower.
However, for future development, Qin Feng ordered several buildings to be upgraded, such as: town barracks, forging workshops, markets, farms, siege machinery stations, docks, restaurants, town halls, wide roads, and watchtowers.
