After the negotiations, Meng Chen and Alfred immediately led more than 300 soldiers and two unconscious beast soul messengers back to the mountain pass.

As soon as he entered the mountain pass, the armor on Alfred's body suddenly turned into wisps of holy light and dissipated.

Not only that, but Alfred's sword-wielding Wind Rose was overwhelmed and shattered into pieces on the spot.

Even Alfred fainted due to the backlash of strength, and Meng Chen hurriedly ordered the soldiers to take him to the hospital.

Subsequently, Meng Chen climbed to the magic turret where Ellie was, only to find that Ellie had already fainted due to the overdraft of her magic power.

Meng Chen immediately ordered the soldiers to send Ellie to the hospital.

Standing in the pass with a melancholy face, looking at the devastated scene and the soldiers who had suffered heavy casualties, Meng Chen sighed helplessly, "This battle is really miserable!" ”

The three heroes of the City of Hope were all lying in the hospital, and Meng Chen could only personally direct the soldiers to clean up the aftermath.

In the battle with Nanban City, the soldiers of the City of Hope lost 246 deaths, including 148 knights, 36 rangers, 14 sword and shield warriors, and 15 sharpbow archers.

The number of seriously wounded soldiers reached 135, including 82 knights, 24 rangers, 6 sword and shield warriors, and 8 sharpbow marksmen.

In addition, under the strange spells of the Beast Soul Sacrifice, more than 300 soldiers have a loyalty of less than 60 points, and more than 50 soldiers have a loyalty of less than 30 points.

This battle was the worst battle in the City of Hope since its founding!

The direct economic loss, Meng Chen's initial estimate, is around 10,000 gold coins.

Indirect economic losses cannot be counted for the time being, and just quickly making up for the low loyalty of hundreds of soldiers will require the additional consumption of a large amount of light blue quality food.

Note: High-quality food, high-quality accommodation, and cordial greetings and exchanges can all increase a soldier's loyalty.

Of course, the city of hope, as the victorious side, has equally huge gains.

The most important benefits are 360,000 tribute stones, as well as four green quality mines.

The value of the mine is immeasurable, but those 360,000 tribute stones are enough to exchange for 360,000 gold coins!

Although the above benefits have not yet arrived, the City of Hope has four Beast Soul Messengers (including a corpse), and Meng Chen believes that the Beast Soul Sacrifice will not easily break the promise.

If the Beast Soul Sacrifice really repented, Meng Chen could only sacrifice these three Beast Soul Messengers to the Well of Eternity of Ocellell.

In addition to the compensation income of Nanban City after the war, he killed hundreds of Beast Soul Warriors and one Beast Soul Messenger, allowing Meng Chen to gain 6,240 soul power and 41,600 experience points.

In addition, burying the soldier's body in the cemetery, after the soul conjuring of the tomb keeper, you can also recover 3912 soul power.

"The sudden increase in soul power points has allowed a large number of soldiers to advance smoothly." Meng Chen sighed.

After arranging everything properly, Meng Chen looked at the collapsed parapet and scratched his head.

Since the four construction queues were under construction, Meng Chen could only order the carpenter to make a fence and repair it temporarily.

Then, Meng Chen escorted the four beast soul messengers to the blacksmith shop in the City of Hope.

The three living Beast Soul Emissaries were not only severely injured, but also had to face the erosion of the giant beast venom, if it weren't for the extremely strong flesh of the Beast Soul Emissary, these three Beast Soul Emissaries would have burped a long time ago.

Meng Chen consumed hundreds of gold coins through the resource space to tailor four metal cages for the four beast soul envoys, and their raw materials were the blue quality metal in the Red Rock Mountain Underground Palace.

For the next three days, the City of Hope was on high alert.

After all, the three heroes were lying in the hospital, which made Meng Chen quite insecure.

Fortunately, there were no accidents during this period, and as Ellie woke up on the third day after the war, Meng Chen was slightly relieved.

The next day was the fifteenth day of July, which was also the day when the Dilong Valley Market opened.

Since Ellie had not fully recovered, Meng Chen ordered her to continue to recuperate, while he went to the pass to deal with the transaction.

When he took over Ellie's work in person, Meng Chen found that this job was so cumbersome.

With the fame of the Dilong Valley Market, twenty or thirty villages within a radius of five or six hundred miles would send caravans to participate in the trade.

In addition, there are a large number of traveling merchants, who come specifically for weapons and equipment.

Meng Chen, who was sitting in the trading center, was surrounded by fifty or sixty merchants, constantly answering all kinds of questions.

Some people asked about the market of different goods, some people asked about the abnormal movement of the Earth Dragon Valley a few days ago, some people asked about the exchange amount of gold knife coins, and so on.

These people were all the patrons of the City of Hope, and of course Meng Chen couldn't face them coldly, so he could only patiently answer their questions one by one.

In just one morning, Meng Chen, who had a dry mouth, almost collapsed.

Fortunately, there were fewer businessmen who came to inquire in the afternoon, so Meng Chen had time to take a nap.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Meng Chen paid close attention to the transactions of the merchants.

At this time, Meng Chen noticed a bad phenomenon, there were actually two dealers in the market.

At present, the official ratio of Austrian dollars to gold knife coins is 1:1, and second-rate dealers sell Austrian dollars at a ratio of 1:1.5.

After a little investigation, Meng Chen quickly found out the source of the Ao Yuan of the Erdao dealers.

They disguised themselves as traveling merchants but did not carry any goods, and used the exchange limit of 100 gold knife coins to obtain Austrian dollars, and then sold them for 150 gold knife coins, making a net profit of 50 gold knife coins between one entry and one exit.

Although this practice may seem to have no effect on the City of Hope, it will increase the transaction costs of regular merchants, and at the same time, it will also bring a bad reputation to the Dilong Valley Market.

"These damn moths, it looks like they have to change the exchange rules!" Meng Chen scolded in his heart.

Just as Meng Chen was thinking about how to put an end to the second-tier dealers, a woman wearing a lake blue gauze skirt walked into the trading center.

This woman's appearance seems dignified and elegant, but she is charming and self-inflicted.

The round and full breasts, the slender and delicate waist, the fair and delicate skin, and the straight and slender thighs all attract the attention of many men.

The woman walked into the trading center on her front foot, and a large group of male merchants followed her on the back foot.

These male businessmen did not dare to come forward easily, but only dared to hide not far away.

The woman seemed to be accustomed to being watched, and she didn't have any embarrassment, but inadvertently looked back and smiled, hooking away the souls of the men around her.

Meng Chen also belongs to the group of people who have been snatched away from their souls.

However, Meng Chengui was the city lord, of course, he had to maintain a certain degree of prestige, so he could only muttered in his heart: "Where did this goblin come from?" The appearance and figure are all of the top grade, coupled with the temperament of showing off on the outside and charming on the inside...... 95 points!"

The woman came to the center of the hall, bowed to Meng Chen Yingying, and said, "Dare to ask Your Excellency if you are the Lord of Meng City?" ”
