I thought it would be a big war, but I didn't expect it to end so easily.

Looking at the São Paulo players who were cleaning the battlefield, I couldn't help but mutter: Am I too good?

While thinking about it, I counted the damage rate through the army menu, and I was a little surprised that there was not a single death under the cloth.

"Mr. Coolin." When I was a little absent-minded, Retona and Numa came to my side

Retona was obviously in a good mood, and looked at it with a smile on his face: "How does it feel." ”

I touched my nose and said, "It seems too simple, it stands to reason that the Fire Knife Guild shouldn't be so weak." ”

Retona smiled: "Hehe, you are right, the real combat effectiveness of the Fire Knife Guild cannot be so weak, it can only be said that they were too unlucky, and they were killed by two commanders at the beginning." ”

Speaking of this, Retona exclaimed: "The key to the success of your decapitation tactic this time, well done." ”

I smiled and said, "It's over." ”

Just as we were talking about this, a big soldier walked up to Retona and said respectfully: "President, the casualties are counted, this time our army has lost 13,557 people, the enemy has suffered 135,000 casualties, 100 captured trophies, 100 magic crystal cannons, 100 heavy crossbows to defend the city, and 56,000 pieces of three-star equipment above level 100 in the well-preserved arsenal ironworks in the city, 34,000 pieces of four-star equipment and ····· five-star equipment."

Retona listened carefully to the battle statistics, and the smile in his eyes became brighter, but he still waved his hand to interrupt: "Assess how much these are worth." ”

The big man immediately replied: "According to Mr. Platon's assessment, the booty harvested by our army in this capture of Orleans is worth at least 800,000,000 gold coins. ”

The slave horses and Xi Ling and others on the side were also full of joy: "Not only is it a big victory, but it is also a bumper harvest." ”

I looked at Retona with wide eyes and said, "Rich, rich." ”

"Haha, it's also a nine-star city built by the Fire Knife Union with a huge amount of investment, of course it has this value." Retona laughed: "Of the 900 million gold coins, 200 million is your reward." ”

"I made 900 million in just 20 minutes, and even if you get rid of the 200 million you gave me, you still make 700 million." I was a little stunned: "It's too easy to make money." ”

Retona glared at me angrily: "You only saw the scenery for these 20 minutes but didn't see it, how much energy did we spend for these 20 minutes, not only to hire you, a mercenary who is a money obsessive, but also to integrate the army, allocate personnel, and specify tactics..." ”

Retona said a lot of things that made me dizzy, and I quickly waved my hand: "Stop, stop I don't understand this, but I only know one thing, and now that the task is complete, you shouldn't pay me." ”

Retona is happy to start trading right away! Give me 200 million gold coins.

Looking at the 200 million gold coins in many places in the package, I smiled happily.

Rich, rich!

But what to do with this money, if I lose all of the base, I will be too unwilling to think about it, but if I don't recharge the base, my base will not be able to upgrade.

Ay! It's really tangled!

Maybe it's because I'm laughing so idiotly, my eyes are too tangled, and everyone looks at me with a strange face.

And they stared at me with such strange eyes, and I laughed a little embarrassedly: "Well, since the task is completed, let's stop haha." ”

Retona hurriedly said, "Mr. Cunne, don't be in a hurry to leave yet. ”

I was stunned and said, "Is there anything else?" ”

Retona smiled: "Is Mr. Cuin satisfied with earning these 200 million!" ”

I thought to myself and said, "You mean there's still work to do." ”

Xi Ling smiled: "The attack on Orleans City is just the beginning, and there is still a fight to come." ”

Retona said: "How about it, are you interested in continuing to cooperate, the price is according to what you said at the beginning, and you will be paid 300 million for each city captured in the future." ”

I was overjoyed and said, "Haha, it's a fool not to make money." ”

Retona said: "It's a pleasure to work with. ”

I actually appreciate this foreigner, bold and generous, and he is a good customer.

In addition, the cooperation with São Paulo was quite smooth and pleasant, so it is also a good choice to continue the relationship.

Retona spread out the magic map again and said excitedly, "To be honest, I really didn't expect this siege to go so smoothly, but it also made me know one thing, Mr. Cuin's mechanical troops are far more effective than we imagined. ”

Xi Ling was also excited: "So I think we should take advantage of the victory next." ”

Retona smiled and nodded, "Yes, I think so too. ”

I subconsciously said, "Before the Fire Knife Guild gets used to our attack pattern, take some territory?" ”

Retona shook his head with a smile and said, "It's not to capture, but to destroy the defense of the Fire Knife Guild." ”

I was stunned and said, "Why is that?" ”

Xi Ling shook his head with a wry smile and said: "This is also no way, the total strength of the São Paulo union is only 1 million, so we simply don't have enough military strength to garrison the city." ”

I wondered, "In that case, why do such a thankless job?" ”

Retona smiled: "First: I just can't get used to the rampant domineering of the Fire Knife Guild, as long as I can make trouble for them, I am happy to do so, every time I capture a city, the power of the Fire Knife Guild will be weakened, and the loss of property will be immeasurable."

Second: Although we don't have the ability to garrison the captured cities, we can sell them to other unions that need land, which means that we are not thankless, but have money to earn. ”

I suddenly said, "You want to sell the captured city to other unions. ”

Xi Ling smiled: "That's right, most of the city territory of the Bright Empire has been occupied by the Fire Knife Union, many trade unions, and even some old trade unions have suppressed them so much that they can't survive, and some trade unions don't even have a decent city, so many people are willing to pay money to buy cities, this time we captured Orleans in order to sell Orleans to our old friend Musket Union, as long as there is a base for development, they will soon be able to form a certain combat effectiveness, so that we can not only make money, It will also be able to support more allied forces against the Fire Knife Guild. ”

I thought for a moment and said, "That's why you're going to do that valuation after you take Orleans?" ”

Xi Ling smiled, "The complete city can be sold for a higher price. ”

I couldn't help but exclaim: "Buying and selling cities, hehe, you guys are so talented." ”

Retona laughed, "Each other." ”

Xi Ling said: "Okay, I've finished introducing what should be introduced, and the next thing is to discuss what to do." ”

My eyes widened as I carefully examined the magic map in front of me.

The map is large and completely covers all the current territories of the entire Empire of Light, and many cities are marked with a conspicuous ball of flames.

At this time, Xi Ling pointed to the flames and said, "These are the subordinate cities that belong to the Fire Knife Guild, and our goal is to occupy them and sell them. ”

I nodded and counted carefully, only to find that at least 70% of the cities in the entire Bright Empire were occupied by the Fire Knife Guild.

This surprised a little: "They have a lot of territory." ”

Retona said in a deep voice: "Not only is there a lot of territory, but the number of troops is also amazing, which can be regarded as a big business. ”

At this time, Numa, who had rarely spoken, also spoke: "However, their territory is large, and they have to divide more troops to defend other cities, which can be regarded as one of their weaknesses." ”

I nodded slightly and thought about it, "By the way, the defense of other cities will be stronger than Orleans City." ”

"Most of the castles have around 150,000 guards. ”

I wondered, "Don't you think about it, can these troops hold the city?" ”

Xi Ling said: "You don't understand this, in fact, these people don't have to be able to hold the city, as long as they can hold on to the enemy's attack for an hour, the large reinforcements of the Fire Knife Guild can arrive." ”

It dawned on me: "It turns out that their task is not to carry it to death, but to delay time." ”

Retona said: "Exactly, in general, 150,000 defense; Coupled with the strength of the city walls and the [Magic Crystal Cannon] [City Defending Heavy Crossbow], it can support more than an hour even in the face of the onslaught of a million troops, and the loss of Orleans this time was completely unexpected, because they didn't expect your mechanical troops to seize the city walls and gates so quickly. ”

I thought about it, "So, when we attacked Orleans, reinforcements from the Blade Guild were already on their way. ”

Xi Ling smiled, "That's right. ”

I wondered, "What will happen to Orleans now that the reinforcements are lost?" ”

Xi Ling smiled: "Of course, I went home." ”

I touched my head, and sure enough, the market is different depending on the national conditions.

Thinking about it, I continued: "The last question, when will the city be handed over to the musket guild. ”

Retona looked at the time and said, "Soon, the people of the Musket Guild were notified when we successfully captured Orleans, and now that their men have arrived in this direction, it is estimated that their takeover army will be felt in half an hour." ”

Looking at the few foreigners in front of him with complacent expressions, guessing that it seemed that they had done such a thing before, and they all looked so professional.

They're real mercenaries, and I'm a thug at best.

Time passed quickly, and half an hour later, I saw a large number of people galloping towards this direction from a distance.

Nu Ma frowned and smiled: "It's the spear emblem and the rose banner, and the musket city defense troops have come to take over." ”

Retona said, "Alright, now that the troops are here, let's move on to the next battle." ”

I was stunned, "You mean we're going to attack the next city." ”

Retona smiled: "Of course, this night is still very long, and the casualties of the troops are minimal, and they are completely capable of continuing to fight." ”

At this time, Xi Ling also smiled and said: "Money fan, do a good job, if you are lucky, you will really make a fortune when you capture a few cities in one night." ”

I was overjoyed and said, "Then what are you waiting for, let's go now." ”

I'm not interested in how the Muskets took over Orleans, and all my mind is now on the battle that is coming.

Retona put away his map and looked north: "Next battle, Trafford." ”
