Lig said with some hatred: "It's okay to let you go, it's one thing for them to give it or not, it's another thing for us to go or not!" If you don't ask for it, how do you know they won't give! Remembering what I said, I agreed to whatever conditions they asked for after the war. When we grasp the power of Yinta City, we will have the final say, and I am afraid that they will turn out some demon moths? ”

Sikong looked relieved: "I see, Lord Lige, you are really prescient. Those people are now grasshoppers on the same rope as us, and we can't run away from them! Okay, I'll be right away! ”

Looking at Sikong's departing back, Lige picked up the pipe on the table and took a puff, and said to himself: "God forbid, I hope there will be no more mistakes, and it can be regarded as our hard work that has not been in vain!" ”

At this time, Cheng Lei was also smoking a cigarette, sitting on the roof of the command car and looking at the Silver Tower City in front of him. The team is slowly advancing, and there are no more captives now, after all, those people were promised to join the Lion King squadron, so it will be up to them to see how they perform.

However, it seems that the enthusiasm of these captives who took the initiative to join is still very high, and everyone is actively working when they are ready to return to the city, and they seem to be very motivated. Cheng Lei saw that they were doing well, so he didn't let them walk, and each of them gave them a horse to ride.

Zheng Bin kept saying that Cheng Lei treated them too favorably, these people were all mercenary veterans, so they should be allowed to walk to sharpen their edges and corners. also said that Cheng Lei's heart was too soft and like a girl, Cheng Lei just smiled and didn't quarrel with him as usual.

"What, they're back? You immediately take someone to the city gate to greet them, and tell Cheng Lei and Zheng Bin that I have prepared fine wine and are waiting for them in the Silver Tower. When Duke Duozan heard the news of Cheng Lei's return to the city, he immediately ordered Du Modao.

Du Mo was wearing a brand-new dress, and said solemnly: "Your Excellency Duke, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate for me to go by myself, some of it is not solemn enough, why do we have to send Lord Xilin with me to show our sincerity?" ”

Duke Duozan groaned slightly, took a sip of tea and said, "Du Mo, from now on, you will be the head of the city affairs of Silver Tower City, and you will be in charge of all the affairs of our Silver Tower City. How's that, it looks solemn enough now, right? Let Xilin send twenty elite soldiers to protect you, and go! ”

Du Mo's face was filled with a look of ecstasy: "Thank you Your Excellency Duke for your trust, Du Mo will definitely live up to His Excellency's expectations, and he will definitely fulfill his duties and never give up!" ”

Duke Dozan waved his hand and said, "Go!" ”

After Du Mo Lian answered, he went to Xilin and asked for twenty elite soldiers as escorts, and took the lead at the front of the team and went to the city gate as fast as possible to welcome the return of the Lion King's squadron.

These twenty elite soldiers are all fast guns and sharp blades, and they look quite imposing, and they are the backbone and elite of the Xilin Guard. Xilin was able to send all his right-hand men to Du Mo at one time, and most of the factors were that Du Mo was now the head of the city affairs of Silver Tower City, second only to Duke Dozan's second place in Silver Tower City.

If Duke Dozan's side succeeds in stopping the rebellion and cleaning up the rebels in this war, then Du Mo will become a role above 10,000 people under one person in Silver Tower City. Even Xilin and Xiling nominally have to obey Du Mo's command, which is unavoidable.

Judging from the current situation, the mercenary guards led by Cheng Lei defeated the mercenaries invited by the rebels in one fell swoop, which is great news for the Duke of Dozan's side. A large part of those who had supported and fallen to the rebels in Silvertower City had surrendered to Duke Dozan after hearing the news.

Among these people were some of the big gentry in the west and north of the city, and although most of the gentry in the north of the city were inclined to rebels, there were not a few who fell to the side of the Duke of Dozan after this battle. At least now the military budget on Duozan's side is very sufficient, which can be fully proved by this, the foundry in Nancheng is constantly supplying the made guns and materials, once the war starts, the rebels' already stretched military budget may not be able to carry out a protracted war at all.

And if you are not prepared for a protracted battle, I am afraid that judging from the current evenly matched situation, the chances of victory on Duke Dozan's side are very high. And Duke Dozan probably has many unknown followers, when he comes into contact with this talent, some people will regard him as a lustful and greedy gentleman, but if you really know him, you will be shocked by his thoughtfulness and treacherous slickness.

"Congratulations to Mr. Cheng on his victorious return, His Excellency Duke has sent me to greet you! You are the great heroes of our Silver Tower City, and His Excellency the Duke has instructed you to return to the garrison first, and all supplies and materials will be delivered immediately. Mr. Cheng and Mr. Zheng, please come with me, His Excellency the Duke wants to see you and have important matters to discuss. Du Mo saw Cheng Lei sitting on the roof of the car and saluted.

Cheng Lei glanced at Du Mo with squinted eyes, took a sip of the cigarette butt in his hand again, and said, "Lord Du Mo, it's not the same if you haven't seen you talk for a day." My guess are you promoted? Seeing that the old acquaintances are all official. You go back and tell Dozan that if he wants to do something, he will send someone to discuss, and he won't let people rest after the battle? ”

Du Mo was so choked that he was almost speechless: "This ...... Mr. Cheng, I'm really not an official. His Excellency the Duke has graciously invited you, and there is really something important to discuss. I'm just passing on the word, if there's something wrong with what I'm saying......"

Cheng Lei was a little impatient, originally he thought that he could recruit Du Mo to manage some chores or something, but now it seems that it is impossible. This guy must have been promoted, otherwise he would have gone to whisper to Cheng Lei in private, and he wouldn't have spoken in the same tone as just now, so Cheng Lei is very impatient now.

He took one last puff of his cigarette, threw the butt of the cigarette out, and said, "Lord Dumo, how dare I say that there is anything wrong with you." We didn't have much else to do, we just were too tired from a fight. Now, go and ask the Duke of Dozan to discuss the matter with us on his behalf! Okay, that's it, by the way, and let the Duke send back the five snipers I sent him, I'm afraid he won't need them for the time being. ”

Then Cheng Lei waved his hand, and the chariot team of the Lion King Squadron, as well as the captives and all the horses, all entered the Silver Tower City. The common people in the city were wide-eyed when they saw so many war horses, and now the city was crazy that the mercenaries of His Excellency the Duke had defeated the mercenaries of the rebels, and they all described it vividly, as if they had seen it with their own eyes.

Cheng Lei's return made these rumors come true, and everyone was boiling, scrambling to watch this mercenary guard team that won more with less. The balance of victory has tilted more seriously in favor of Duke Dozan, and more than half of the big households in the west of the city and half of the big households in the north of the city have sent people to surrender. I am afraid that it will not be long before the big gentry in the west and north of the city will have to rejoin the Duke of Dozan.

Now Silver Tower City has become a one-sided situation, and all the signals indicate that it is in favor of Duke Dozan's side, and the situation seems to be clear all of a sudden. The 200 soldiers of the northern families of the city where the First Guards of Baili were stationed had also run away dozens of people, which was also ordered by their masters, otherwise these soldiers would not have such courage at all.

Neither Duke Duozan nor the rebels expected that Cheng Lei's return would have such a great impact on the forces of Silver Tower City. Now the prestige of the Lion King Squadron is skyrocketing, and countless civilian youths want to join this army that is said to be like a divine soldier. It's just that no one knows if this nominal mercenary guard will accept people, because no one dares to ask them.

"Rubbish! You can't do this little thing, how did you offend them? Now at this particularly sensitive time, Cheng Lei is the person who can't be offended, don't you know? Duke Dozan had a rare look of impatience, he was really in a hurry.

Du Mo's face was pale, and the beads of sweat on his face kept slipping: "Your Excellency, I really didn't offend them. That Cheng Lei felt that he was not in high spirits when I first saw him, I'm afraid there was something unpleasant! ”

"How could it be, it stands to reason that he should be happy after such a big victory, how could he not be in high spirits?" Duke Dozan was also a little puzzled at this time.

The two looked at each other, and in the end, Duke Duozan had to let Du Mo retreat first, and talk about it when there was something. also asked Du Mo to say hello to the five snipers under Cheng Lei, and each sent them two gold coins to send them back.

"I said Lao Cheng, why did you have that attitude towards that rat-faced guy, wasn't it good before?" Zheng Bin asked a little puzzled.

Cheng Lei sneered: "Du Mo, this guy used to be a diplomatic adjutant, and his current position must be much higher than before." This is Dozan, that guy has drugged him, otherwise why would he suddenly have so much weight! ”

Zheng Bin looked at him a little strangely: "Since Duke Duozan asked us to discuss things, then let's go." You see how bad it is for you to make such a fuss now, how will you meet and talk about things in the future? ”

"Hmph, Dozan that old fox is simply dizzy! If you have something important to discuss, then come to us yourself or send someone to talk! Now that we've defeated the Fangs, that's our biggest asset. What does this old boy think, let's go see him, really think of us as his mercenary guard?! Cheng Lei said hatefully.

Zheng Bin sighed and said, "You, you, you're just too angry." Even if we go to see him and talk, since we want to gain a foothold, we must first get on good terms with this Duke of Dozan. Otherwise, in this world, our eyes are dark, and we will inevitably be stumbled by. ”

"If someone stumbles on us, then trip back! I don't believe it, with the strength of our Lion King squadron, we can't win against these backward natives. One day I will let the Lion King Squadron stand at the pinnacle of this world and become the master of this world! ”
