After being silent for a long time, Meng Chen bowed to Lin Rufeng and said, "Thank you Senior Lin!" ”

Lin Rufeng waved his hand and said casually: "It's nothing, Lin just doesn't owe favors!" The 1,000 stone grain last time solved Lin's urgent need. and Lin's daughter...... Ay! Don't mention it! ”

After speaking, Lin Rufeng got up and said goodbye and left.

After sending Lin Rufeng out of the Earth Dragon Valley, Meng Chen secretly said in his heart: "The remnants of Taoyuan Village should have someone worship the Blood Refining Sect, and the credibility of this news is still very high. ”

Back at the town hall, Meng Chen immediately summoned Ellie, Alfred, and Chris to discuss strategies for dealing with the Blood Refining Sect.

Meng Chen asked Alfred, "How many Tier 4 soldiers are there in the City of Hope at the moment?" ”

Alfred replied, "My lord, there are currently 124 Rank 4 soldiers, and another 40 Rank 3 soldiers are undergoing promotion training, and it will take another 5 days to successfully advance to the ranks. ”

Afterwards, Meng Chen asked Chris, "How well are the knights and the new mounts on their toes?" ”

Chris replied, "My lord, the obedience of the Qingyan rhinoceros is very good, and the tacit understanding with the knights is very high. ”

Meng Chen nodded and said, "According to reliable information, the Blood Refining Sect will take action against the City of Hope in the near future, and it is very likely that there will be an elder of the Blood Refining Sect at that time, how do you think we should deal with it?" ”

Alfred and Ellie looked at each other, then looked at Chris, who looked confused.

Chris said, "Why are you all looking at me like this? According to the information gathered, the elders of the Blood Refining Sect were at least the peak of the 6th order, and they might even be 7th order powerhouses. The paladin is strong, but beyond a certain limit, I will be consumed alive! ”

Although Chris is not as lethal as Alfred, but only considering the ability to resist pressure in the face of strong players, Chris is definitely the first person in the City of Hope.

Currently, Chris's level has reached level 35, and the three attributes of strength, agility, and intelligence are 48, 20, and 28 respectively.

After pondering for a moment, Meng Chen asked, "If you face a 7th-order powerhouse, how long can you hold out?" ”

Chris replied, "Definitely not more than a quarter of an hour!" “

"What if you face the 6th Order Peak?"

Chris thought for a moment and replied, "The subordinates should be able to hold on...... Two hours, right? ”

Hearing this, Meng Chen patted Chris's shoulder and said, "Very good!" The Elder of the Blood Refining Sect will be handed over to you! Now let's talk about vigilance......"

"......" Chris was speechless.

After the meeting, Meng Chen ordered the lumberjacks in the Flamemane Lion's territory to be recalled, and at the same time raised the alert level of the City of Hope.

At this time, the warehouse of the City of Hope has 7,280 units of wood, which can temporarily meet the needs of building upgrades.

In the coming period, the City of Hope will retract its expansion and strictly guard against the sudden attack of the Blood Refining Sect.

Three days later, Meng Chen received a report from the soldiers, and Mu Lao and the others came to Dilong Valley again.

This time the caravan of the four villages was very large, with more than 500 wide four-wheeled ox carts.

Through this transaction, City of Hope will harvest a total of 9,000 stone of various metal ores, which is expected to be able to refine 90 units of metal and 410 units of metal.

At the same time, three hundred black cattle were also left in Dilong Valley by Mu Lao and others.

The City of Hope only paid for 300 Tier 1 equipment, 300 Tier 2 equipment, and 50 Tier 3 equipment.

It is worth mentioning that 400 sets of swordsman equipment and elite swordsman equipment belong to the obsolete products that are about to be upgraded in the City of Hope.

Since the Tier 2 Blacksmith Shop had magic forging equipment, Meng Chen was ready to eliminate all the scale armor and ring armor, and replace the swordsmen and elite swordsmen with low-end versions of the half-body plate armor.

The caravans from four villages came to trade, which was equivalent to helping the City of Hope clear the inventory of expired products.

When the transaction was over, Mu Lao and the other four village elders found Meng Chen and arched their hands: "Little Brother Meng, can't the price of the three-bow bed crossbow really be reduced?" ”

Meng Chen's heart moved, so he acted as a question: "The three-bow bed crossbow is the treasure of the town and village of the Osariel people, and the leader will never agree to sell it at a reduced price!" ”

The four village elders glanced at each other and nodded slightly, apparently they had reached some agreement in secret.

Mu Lao said with a painful face: "Little Brother Meng, this time I will bring thirty stone of Xuaniron ore, and plan to exchange it for a three-bow bed crossbow with the people of Oseriel. ”

Then, Mu Lao and the others led Meng Chen to the two ox carts.

Several villagers lifted the tarpaulin, revealing pieces of dark metal ore.

Meng Chen only glanced at it slightly, and obtained the specific information of the two carts of ore.

This car ore is indeed dark iron ore, and according to the fineness of the black iron ore, about 24 tons of dark iron can be refined.

"How?" Mu Lao looked at Meng Chen expectantly.

What can Meng Chen do?

Mu Lao and the others would rather pay thirty stone of Xuaniron ore than introduce other villages to Dilong Valley.

Meng Chen waved his hand helplessly and ordered the soldiers to deliver a three-bow bed crossbow to the caravan of Mu Lao and others.

Seeing Mu Lao and the others' happy looks, Meng Chen couldn't help but want to splash cold water, and said, "The three-bow bed crossbow needs special crossbow arrows to use, isn't Mu Lao going to buy some crossbow arrows?" ”

Mu Lao looked stunned for a moment, and asked, "Isn't it the same as the archer equipment, with twenty arrows attached?" ”

Meng Chenqiang couldn't hold back a smile and said, "The crossbow arrows of the three-bow bed crossbow are as thick as a wrist and half a zhang long!" If twenty bolts are included, the people of Ocellel will not be allowed to die? A crossbow arrow is 20 Austrian coins, how many are Mu Lao going to buy? ”

"A crossbow arrow costs 20 Austrians? It's equivalent to half an elite swordsman outfit! Mu Lao exclaimed.

Meng Chen Zhengse said: "It is not easy to make crossbow arrows, this is already the cost price!" Of course, Mu Lao can also choose not to buy it. But...... If you use a non-dedicated crossbow bolt, you may be damaged during use! ”

In the end, under Meng Chen's intimidation and hints, Mu Lao and the others reluctantly returned 10 sets of elite archer equipment in exchange for 20 special crossbow arrows with three-bow bed crossbows.

Looking at the backs of Mu Lao and the others leaving in a hurry, Meng Chen smiled and muttered to himself: "The service life of the out-of-sale version of the bed crossbow is 50 times, and the service life of ordinary crossbow arrows is only 2 times, I hope they don't shoot too happily!" ”

For the next few days, Meng Chen stayed in the Arcane Mage Tower, supplementing his scarce arcane knowledge through the magic books in the Arcane Library.

On this day, Meng Chen suddenly received a report from the soldiers that more than ten kilometers northwest of Dilong Valley, a light red light spot, twenty yellow light spots, and dozens of green light spots appeared.

Putting down the magic book in his hand, Meng Chen sighed, "One light red point of light and twenty yellow points of light? The people of the Blood Refining Sect are finally here! ”
