Chapter 21: Light Mercenaries
The ice walls are thick, the buildings are magnificent, the river outside the city is covered with ice, and the fog is white. This is Ice City, an important city located on the northern border of the mainland.
Wang Dianhui and Hong Kong are both huge.
Zanla was half-kneeling below, holding the glacier sword in both hands, held high above his head. On a ladder of several layers of ice, an icicle with a diameter of several tens of meters stands. Blue energy floats on the ice. In the center of the icicle is a tall figure sitting on a large throne.
"Is foreign power common?"
An icy voice came from the icicles, echoing through the empty hall. Despite passing through the thick icicles, the momentum of the other party still made Zanla's heart tremble.
Zanla lowered her head: "Yes!"
"Is it just a lowly race that doesn't work?" said Icicle again, with a hint of doubt in his tone, "let it be! The King's old wounds will heal in a month or two." Let this little worm survive for a while. ”
Sara smiled, "Will the king do it himself?"
"The three marquis of the Snow League may have some ability, but they can't pose a threat, and the Snow League is sick and can no longer fight. Glacier City has ten large armies, the army is elite and morale is like a rainbow. This is an excellent time to take control of the ice sheets. Vaughn, the frost troll, said slowly, "As for the foreign army... While there is no threat on the surface, it should not be taken lightly. ”
"The search team will look for every alien who appears in the wild and kill him," Zara said. ”
"Keep the Ice Sword for now!" Vaughn was confident in Zara. "How's the investigation of the treasure of the alien race of ice demons going?"
"The news is more accurate, some clues have been discovered, just to be verified."
"Go, find the treasure!"
"Yes, my king!"
"Go down!"
Zahra, the leader of the search party, stood up with his glacial sword and retreated from the hall.
......
Syracuse.
Zhang Tong visited the machinery factory.
Tian Ling occupies a small area in the supply area of SnowTown, most of which is covered by large factories. Every machine shop is in good order. The workshop is always running. Robots shuttle between them. Semi-automatic mechanical production is underway.
The construction site of armored vehicles is quickly and automatically welded. It takes less than 30 minutes and is already taking shape. It is transported to the next workshop for other production.
I'm afraid that Snowtown's level of mechanical production is decades higher than Earth's.
"Armored vehicles in Snow Town are made here. Occasionally we would go abroad and buy some paintings at high prices through the black market or foreign tribes. We use robots for production and put them into factory work. Xue Ling looked at the robots at work, "Because the risk of going abroad is very high, the drawings and robots are very expensive, and most of the factories are useless." The Terrans will be able to start the machine factory as soon as the rent is paid. You have goblins as slaves, which is indeed a great resource to avoid the high cost of buying mechanical drawings. ”
Zhang Tong nodded: "The little goblin is good at mechanical manufacturing and operation. As long as we have good machine tools and manufacturing equipment, we will definitely be able to produce guns, cannons, armored vehicles, and even low-level robots!" he said, and observed the situation of the machinery factory, "It is worthy of the town, the machinery factory is higher than expected, and the ore resources are ......."
Ling Xue replied, "Within the jurisdiction of Ice Town, there are 7 resource secret areas. In addition, there are several natural mines on the other side of the snow-capped mountains. Offers Grade 1-4 ores. Nothing is a big deal. In addition, there are smelters, fur processing plants, gold refineries... And the raw material processing plant is perfectly suitable for large-scale production. ”
The urban production system is perfect. There are various basic production sites and processing plants. The elves of the Dawning region are no different from the outside world. Due to the limitations of materials and equipment, the Dawn region can only produce basic firearms, artillery, **, etc. The urban support on the ice sheet greatly improved the production equipment. At the same time, the ice sheet can directly produce grade 4 materials, further increasing the production capacity.
"Factory usage fees are not cheap."
"The Snow Clan is willing to pay half!"
Zhang Tong nodded with satisfaction. Factory usage fees are usually between 50,000 and 80,000 yuan. You can only rent for 15 days at a time. In the early stages, the losses will definitely outweigh the gains. He was not even able to return to the original price for a long time. However, this factory is not for profit. The Terrans need more advanced armored vehicles, more powerful bombs, cannons, and guns. Even if the premium is worth the cost, survival is king.
Goblins have a large number of mechanical drawings, armored vehicles, combat vehicles and helicopters in their hands... They can be mass-produced with Syracuse's equipment. Zhang Tong can produce more powerful war machines by purchasing better mechanical drawings through the Secret Shop, which is a good thing to empower humanity in the long run.
The difficulties of survival in the camp are different.
It is impossible for different national forces in each region to have the same difficulties.
Some areas are difficult, others are low.
The Plains of Dawn is a relatively difficult area. The rule is very fair and does not increase difficulties for no reason. In fact, the rewards for clearing the Plains of Dawn are higher than in most regions, including direct and indirect rewards.
Direct award refers to the super reward obtained for defeating the alien race, while the indirect reward has many aspects, such as regional resource production, obtaining slave races, etc. After the Terrans took over the Dogs, Elves and Dreads camps, the relationship between the three races and the Terrans changed from hostile to slave races.
The better the slave race, the better help humanity can get, so that it can better stand on the continent!
The most useful of the three races is undoubtedly the elves!
Zhang Tong went to a rented store and sold dozens of pieces of consignment equipment for a total sales of 160,000 gold coins. Buy about 100,000 gold coins from the Secret Shop. The gold in the trading line, the war spear, has long been sold. The buyer purchased weapons in Yan Bingzhen. As for the race, there were also indications that it was a human being from Yan Bingzhen.
"The war spear was put into the trading bank and bought by the Chinese within 30 minutes. It seems too cheap. ”
Zhang Tong took out 25,000 gold coins and bought more than 600 pieces of flour. Zhang Tong took the flour obtained and made a dough cake with very few ingredients. A piece of flour can be made into three or four pieces. Zhang Tong increased the limit of 2,000 pieces of flour and returned to the village.
There are 150,000 gold coins left in the personal backpack, about 300,000 gold coins left in the yellow warehouse, and 500,000 gold coins left in the mercenary guild warehouse, each group of gold coins is not much, and the mercenaries are not very rich, so they can only maintain a foothold in the desperate ice field. Because the desperate icefields have almost no way to make money, the gold coins can't make ends meet, and in the long run, they're doomed to bankruptcy!
Ice King treasure, it's time to find it.
Zhang Tong didn't tell too many people about the treasure map, but called Huang Tian and Lei Ming to study it.
The information on the treasure map is less accurate. The Ice King's palace is located beneath the ice, sinking into an endless sea of dark ice. It is not fixed, but moves regularly. It is for this reason that the Icemen have been unable to locate the treasure for hundreds of years.
This treasure map records the rules of the treasure hunting event.
As long as you arrive at the designated place at the designated time, you can enter the treasure.
"It's incredible!" Zhang Tong admired the Ice King very much. "No wonder there has been no shadow of treasure for more than 400 years!"
Huang Tian said: "Calculate the location of the treasure first!"
Lei Ming looked at the treasure map and said, "If there are no major changes in the treasure map, then it will not be difficult to calculate the approximate coordinate points." Precise positioning is not allowed. The information on the treasure map seems to be incomplete. ”
After some calculations, the three people calculated the coordinate position as "432X.322X.431". Coordinates consist of three sets of numbers representing horizontal, vertical, and height coordinates. The point formed by the three lines is the only precise coordinate. There are two unknowns to the data calculated from the treasure map, so it is impossible to determine the exact coordinates, only the approximate area.
The Ice King left behind several treasure maps.
Each copy has content.
With a treasure map, there are a lot of unknowns in addition to the coordinates, and the difficulty and danger will increase several times!
Leng Yun pushed the door and said, "Wood, there are a few outsiders looking for you!"
"Looking for me?"
Coordinate the positioning work and make every effort to fight thunder.
Zhang Tong followed Leng Yun out, and a few strange mercenaries stood at the entrance of the village. The mercenaries, including Chen Tingting and Qin Xiaoshi, were all there. Zhang Tong looked at several people, led by a tall middle-aged man, he was very handsome and manly. Although he is not young, he has the temperament of a hero in Japanese and Korean idol dramas.
"My name is Yang Guang. ”
"Oh, the leader of the light mercenaries of the Dawn Battalion?" Zhang Tong shook hands with him. "I'm Zhang Tong, the leader of the Yellow Mercenaries."
Yang Guangdian nodded: "Our personnel are scattered, and a large number of trolls have caused us serious casualties. Luckily, we met our friends from the Tsu people, and the mercenaries of the Dawn Battalion were saved. Currently, they live in Feng Bingzhen. I contacted Chen Tingting and Qin Xiaoshi. Only then did I know that they had been saved by the Yellow River, so I came here on purpose. Here, thank you for your help. ”
Does Yang Guang want a VIP?
Zhang Tong smiled and said calmly, "Colonel Yang, Tingting is my sister, no matter from which point of view, it should be so! There are not many relatives in the world, and it is really unexpected to see my sister." I would like to express my gratitude to Colonel Young. If it weren't for the care of the mercenaries of light, how could this stinky girl survive to this day?"
The meaning of this phrase is: you don't want to go back when our family is reunited!
Yang Guang is not stupid, "Where to say, the yellow mercenary is strong, we have all heard it." I am also very happy to be reunited with her family. If Tingting is willing to stay in the grave, I will sincerely wish her a better environment to grow up!"
Chen Tingting said gratefully, "Yes, thank you, Colonel!"
Yang Guang's gaze fell on Qin Xiaoshi. "Qin Xiaoshi, you go back with me!"
Qin Xiaoshi hesitated. "I want to be with Tingting, but ......"
Yang Guang frowned slightly.
"Xiao Shi is the chief pastor of your regiment. Huang Quan shouldn't have left her. Zhang Tong paused and added, "But Xiao Shi and her sister are good friends and have some relationship with me. And voila......"
Of course, Yang Guang is not a fool, he doesn't want to, "Qin Shi, as an important member of the Bright Mercenary Group, if he doesn't come back, how can he explain it to others? Please don't embarrass me! Xiao Shi, please think about it carefully." ”
Qin's poetry takes on complex colors.
Zhang Tong hurriedly said, "No, Huang Quan didn't mean to be embarrassed. I am willing to donate 150,000 gold coins to cover the cost of training two people over the past few months. ”
150,000 coins!
Pretty penny!
The Light Mercenary Regiment has just entered Djinn Town, and the relevant rules are already clear, and the mercenaries of the Dawning Camp have limited wealth, and it is difficult for them to gain a foothold in the desperate ice field. If 150,000 gold coins are injected, the pressure will definitely be greatly reduced.
The value of talent cannot be measured in terms of money.
If these two potential members give them away, Yang Guang will definitely not be happy.
In addition, giving away talent for the sake of money will definitely attract gossip and suspicion from subordinates!
Zhang Tong once again raised his influence: "Isn't it a good thing that these two groups take this opportunity to become brothers and exchange their needs?"
