Chapter 64
After the war, it is naturally a time of harvest that I like to see.
The Iron Sword Regiment is worthy of being a veteran mercenary group that has made a name for itself in the coastal areas.
Although they used up some of their wealth to develop the Seth Guard Tower camp, various goods and jewels were still found in the warehouse.
"No wonder Jon asked for my opinion......"
Rod also looked at the wealth in front of him with some surprise, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice.
In the warehouse of the Iron Sword Regiment.
They found all kinds of goods and jewels from the coastal areas, as well as a small amount of gold coins, the total value of which was probably nearly twenty or thirty thousand gold coins.
Sure enough, it was a murder and arson gold belt.
In fact.
The total wealth of the Iron Sword Regiment is more than he thought, what Carlos did at the beginning led to the hasty transfer of the Iron Sword Regiment, and many assets that could not be taken away were simply abandoned by them, and after coming to Xiliu City, opening up contacts, gaining a firm foothold, buying supplies, etc., consumed a lot of their wealth.
The money came at a good time!
Rhodes seems to be cursed by poverty, and no matter how much money reaches him, it will be consumed in a short time.
In order to form a cavalry unit, he can be said to have exhausted the little money he had accumulated before, and this is still the lowest-cost low-level cavalry.
Even if he wants to update the cavalry with more advanced weapons and equipment in the future, he will not even be able to hear a sound if he invests that little money into it.
What's more, he also has a mechanic under him.
To say that these mechanics are really loved and hated, they are absolutely unambiguous about the improvement of combat power, the maintenance of weapons and the help in all aspects, as long as there are enough raw materials and time, a good mechanic can be worth hundreds of people, but the money consumed in this is also staggering.
Rhodes was a poor man.
In the past, in the Shadow Realm, he almost fought for his life for some money, but now as he killed one enemy after another, he plundered more and more wealth.
"But...... Someone has to get to exchange these things for money......" Rod thought to himself.
The number of gold coins in the warehouses of the Iron Sword Regiment was small, only about one or two thousand, and more of them were some precious goods and jewels from the coast.
In fact, with the exception of gold-loving creatures like dragons, many of the great powers do not have a lot of gold in stock.
From the point of view of storage and transportation, the gold coin is actually a very heavy metal in addition to its dazzling golden color.
For the kind of gold coin trading that is often thousands, even this fantasy world with dimensional equipment is very troublesome, after all, the general dimensional bag or dimensional ring has restrictions on load and space.
In many cases, perhaps a few pieces of heavy armor will make the load of a dimensional bag reach the upper limit.
In most cases, many organizations prefer to exchange gold coins for higher-value jewelry goods.
"Monkeys."
After pondering for a while, Rod whispered to the monkey behind him: "Do you find a few reliable people to get rid of the things in here?" ”
"No problem."
A hint of confidence flashed across the monkey's lean face, and he leaned over in reply.
"Hmm."
Rod nodded, he didn't doubt that.
The cargo throughput of the port of Xiliucheng is very large, and with the passage of time, the coastal ports gradually move along the Genei River, and the importance of the port of Xiliucheng will increase.
Like Monkey, who is in charge of the work of the intelligence network, he naturally has some ways.
"In addition, take out some of the funds from it, and I want you to recruit another 500 people for me." Rod commanded lightly.
"Yes, Your Excellency." The monkey replied in a deep voice.
Rhodes was a little understaffed.
After defeating the Seth Watchtower, Rhodes's hundred or so men lost thirty or forty men, and this was when he blasted through the camp wall.
I have to say that Rod's subordinates are also a group of crooked melons and cracked dates, and there are only seventy or eighty people left in the camp by the Iron Sword Regiment, and the rest are some slaves.
Even if they had a geographical advantage, Rhodes blasted through the wall with an extremely domineering attitude at the beginning, overpowering each other in terms of momentum, and both sides had their own advantages.
Coupled with the fact that Rhodes almost single-handedly killed the high-ranking members of the Iron Sword Regiment and dispersed those slaves, he should have won a great victory in any way.
But this group of fools started to heat up, picked up their weapons and screamed and pounced on the enemy's alchemy weapons, and as a result, twenty or thirty people were killed by a few shells by others.
The remaining ten or twenty people were brainless and reckless, and died in the chaos.
What hurts Rod the most is that there are a few pollisaurs, which can't be replenished in a short period of time, and one is really dead.
As for those wastes, to be honest, in Rhodes's mind, they are completely a bunch of cannon fodder, and if they die, they will recruit a batch.
There is no shortage of adventurers in this world!
On the contrary, it is these people who survived, Rhodes still has some feelings for them, after all, after several wars, these people actually have some changes in their hearts, at least, they are no longer those reckless adventurers, and they have a sense of belonging and honor in their hearts.
Sometimes that's how the team is built.
With these first batch of subordinates as the skeleton, Rhodes can quickly pull out another group of people, and after a few major battles in the future, after the baptism of blood and fire, these people will become the cornerstone of his rise.
Although after a few battles now, it is completely Rhodes who is reckless in front alone, and the others are more playing the role of waving the flag and shouting.
But Rhodes can't stop there, a great man once said, "10,000 years is too long, I'm only seizing the day", and Rhodes has to plan for the future in order to do things in the future.
The future is a long and thorny road.
"Jon!"
Rod turned his head to the big man on the other side and said in a deep voice: "After the monkey leaves, you keep an eye on the Iron Sword Regiment for me, and notify me as soon as there is a result!" ”
"In addition, transfer some of the seriously wounded back to the Yuliangmu Valley."
"Yes!" The big Jon replied sullenly.
The Seth Guard Tower was down, but it didn't end there.
Rhodes must keep a hand when the battle between the Iron Sword and Wessel is undecided, and while the Seth Guard Tower is a piece of fat, sometimes greed can be deadly.
Sending off those who were seriously wounded, most of the remaining people were Poly Dragoons, who could have been evacuated in a very short time.
It is precisely for this reason that Rhodes is a little anxious to digest this batch of goods, eat this batch of goods first, and then consider the rest when the results come out.
But.
Even if the Iron Sword Regiment defeats the Skeleton Regiment, their strength will be weakened, and once the strength of the Iron Sword Regiment drops to a certain level, Rhodes may not even retreat, and directly take advantage of the situation to destroy them.
After ordering these chores, Rod waved everyone back.
With a happy smile on his face, he rubbed his hands together and walked into the treasure house of the Iron Sword Regiment with a look of a wealth fan.
He wants to enjoy the joy of the harvest alone.
