Thunderblade's forces have completely taken over the defenses of Flint City.

At this time, Thunderblade and his large army rested here.

His troops, in total, numbered about 8,000 men.

Among them, there were 80 beast soldiers and 200 crossbowmen.

Compared to the Fire Eagle Legion, such a man is simply not worth mentioning.

But the Thunder Blade has no choice but to support it head-on.

On the side of Xiandu City, he should have known about Su Chenglong's death in battle, and the Seventh Immortal Emperor was naturally furious and sent a holy decree to Thunder Blade, so that Thunder Blade could do it himself.

Thunder Blade knew that the Seventh Immortal Emperor was angry, and he had no other choice but to promise the Seventh Immortal Emperor to relieve the siege of Agni City, and made a military order.

However, after learning that the Seventh Immortal Emperor would not send reinforcements, Thunder Blade took the opportunity to make a request, and he asked the Seventh Immortal Emperor to authorize him to recruit troops on his own.

It didn't take long for the Seventh Immortal Emperor to agree to Thunder Blade's request, which made Thunder Blade overjoyed.

In these relatively quiet ten days, the Fire Eagle Legion stepped up the siege of Agni City, but Agni City is a big city after all, with a developed economy and a large population, plus even after the defeat of 10,000 people with Su Chenglong last time, there are still more than 40,000 defenders in the city, and the Fire Eagle Legion has organized several strong attacks, but they have not succeeded.

Retreating, the Fire Eagle Legion besieged the city of Fire and began to attack some other small cities. The momentum is like a bamboo, and in more than ten days, more than a dozen small cities have been laid.

"General Lei, His Majesty the Emperor has given us the right to recruit troops on our own, but now we have no food and grass. If there is no food and grass, and there is not enough money, this is something that cannot recruit soldiers, especially cultivators, who are not treated well, and will definitely not come. ”

In the living room, Chen Chao, Lei Blade, and Ni Qiang sat side by side, and Chen Chao complained to Thunder Blade.

The Seventh Immortal Emperor gave Thunder Blade the right to recruit troops, but did not give Thunder Blade any financial support, which is equivalent to empty words.

Hearing this, Lei Jian smiled lightly and said, "Oh, Lao Chen, money is something outside the body, don't take it so seriously." ”

Chen Chao's face was embarrassed for a while: "Money is indeed not everything, but no money is absolutely impossible." General Lei, there are 8,000 of us, if the Fire Eagle Legion attacks, we are afraid that we will not be able to hold Flint City. ”

"Don't worry, we are in such a northern place, and the Fire Eagle Legion will not run so far to attack us for the time being, seeing that we are few people. We are safe for the time being, but when it comes to recruiting troops and raising money, you can slow it down and I will always think of a way. Thunderblade mused.

"Now you don't know the salary of a cultivator, it's ridiculously high, recruit a thousand soldiers who cultivate as soldiers in the Yuan infancy, and don't have tens of millions of silver, I'm afraid you don't even think about it." Chen Chao frowned for a while.

The value of a cultivator is so expensive. This is universally recognized, after all, it is not difficult to cultivate to a cultivator who can reach the Yuan Infant Stage and earn 10,000 taels of silver a year.

Chen Chaoda complained bitterly, and Thunder Blade also agreed, saying: "You don't care about it for now, you just need to build the fortifications of Flint City and train the soldiers." I personally handled the matter of recruiting and raising money. ”

After Chen Chao left, Lei Jian said to Ni Qiang: "Ni Qiang, you help me pay attention to the movements of the three giants in Flint City, by the way, the movements of the city lord should also be watched." We have to rely on them for the money we recruit soldiers. ”

Although Ni Qiang didn't react to Thunder Blade's words, he didn't know what Thunder Blade was going to do, but he still gladly agreed.

At this time, Flint City is naturally the world of thunder blades, and as soon as hundreds of thousands of soldiers are stationed here, the old forces of Flint City can only live with their tails pouted.

In terms of division of labor, Chen Chao was responsible for building fortifications and training soldiers. And Ni Qiang is now his captain of the guard and head of intelligence.

……

In the dead of night, Lei Dao began to concentrate and cultivate, and now, the Nine Dragons Heavenly Divine Technique has been able to condense four True Qi Dragons, but in this small city, cultivating this kind of exercise is too dazzling. Therefore, although Thunder Blade knew that he had reached this strength himself, he had not yet tested the power of the four True Qi Dragons swimming in the sky.

At the same time, he was still strengthening the effect of the "God Refining Handbook" on the True Fire Refining God Ding, and after practicing penance again and again, the Thunder Blade became more and more proficient.

It's just that at the beginning, Thunder Blade promised the Xuanying Sword Emperor not to use True Fire to refine the Divine Ding with ordinary cultivators, so Thunder Blade could only use this trick on Warcraft, Demons, and Demon Beasts.

But at this time, he was busy solving the siege of Agni City, where did he have so much time to find demonic beasts and demon beasts to cultivate?

Therefore, the cultivation of the Thunder Blade is just a person's cultivation, and the specific power is still unknown.

However, Lei Jian knew very well in his heart that it had been almost a year since he entered the Little Immortal Rank, and his current strength should have taken a big step.

"I don't know, I'm still in the middle stage of the Little Immortal Rank, how far am I?"

Lei Jian thought in his heart, recalling the duel between Taiyi Xianzun and Dugu Wuji at the beginning, that is the strong demeanor of the best master, coming and going without a trace, one punch to the mountains and rivers, a sword to break the clear sky, thousands of miles to kill, that is the peerless master!

"Boss, did you sleep?"

Outside the room, Ni Qiang's voice came.

Ni Qiang came to look for it so late, naturally there was something important, thinking of Lei Blade's instructions to Ni Qiang, a smile appeared on the corner of Lei Blade's mouth, it should be a gain.

Called Ni Qiang in, Ni Qiang was not restrained in front of the thunder blade, he just sat down and took a sip of tea, and said, "Boss, I got an important news." ”

"Speak quickly!"

"The three major families in Flint City are all doing business with the Fire Eagle Legion! More than half of the weapons they forged were sold to the Fire Eagle Legion! That city lord Tiangao is not a good bird, he used his subordinates to help the three major families as cover, and even helped them transport weapons, from which he got huge benefits! ”

"Haha......"

Hearing this news, Thunder Blade laughed directly: "God help me!" ”

Bowing his head, Lei Jian asked Ni Qiang: "Can you get tangible evidence?" ”

Ni Qiang nodded and said with a smile: "This doesn't need tangible evidence, when they transport weapons, we go to arrest their current situation, and then, on the other hand, to check their account books, I think, this must be a check." ”

Thunderblade nodded, letting out a long sigh of relief.

The three major families in Flint City are all engaged in weapons and iron mines, and they can be said to be very rich. This is just the right time to help Thunderblade recruit troops and raise money!

It's a godsend!

Thunder Blade now understands, no wonder Zhang Tiangao is reluctant to give up the city defense to Thunder Blade, it turns out that they want to transport weapons out of the city and trade with the Fire Eagle Legion!

So, Lei Jian and Ni Qiang explained, and their strategy began to be implemented.
