Lu Cheng felt like he was in a dream recently, first the high-level skills of Haschi and Shamer were abducted to the territory, then the high-level adventurers Arthur, Gru and Selina and the expert-level Jona joined the territory, and finally the grandmaster-level Leah and the epic Red Flame also joined the territory.

Could it be that the system has gone crazy lately and swipes high-level citizens?

It's impossible, there are many people on the world channel every day who say that there are too few high-level citizens, and the world information says that there are only a few players who have recruited high-level and above professions, and they are all expert-level. No one has ever mentioned it at the master level, let alone the epic level.

Lu Cheng knew that any high-level citizen was a huge wealth of the territory, and everyone could get a huge wealth for the territory, for example, the profit of the dwarf suit was the source of more than 7% of the territory's income, and it was difficult for Lu Cheng to think about how he would live if he still had an income of dozens of gold a day.

It's no wonder that Red Flame casually shoots at the perfect level of equipment, epic! It's 4 levels higher than the high-level, so it's no wonder that Red Flame would say that the weapons built by Shamer are rubbish, because that's the truth in Red Flame's eyes.

So here's the problem.

How much should Lu Cheng pay?

Grandmaster-level Liya is 50 gold, so the epic level is doubled to 100 gold?

But can 2 grandmaster-level ones compare to 1 epic-level?

Apparently not!

Lu Cheng thought about it for a while and decided to try to see if Chiyan could agree to the treatment of 200 gold per day.

"200 gold? Every day? Chi Yan's mouth opened wide in surprise enough to stuff a duck egg, and with a bang, the sword embryo fell to the ground without even being noticed.

"Uh... I know it's a bit little, do you think 300 gold is enough? Lu Cheng was taken aback, and Chi Yan's stunned expression was understood by him as a shock at such a "low wage".

"Ah, no, no, that's enough! That's enough! Chi Yan immediately put away his flustered expression and coughed pretending to be serious, "Ben... Miss Ben reluctantly accepted, well, I'm a little busy, ahem... Well, when I'm ready, I'll help sweep out the bandits in the territory. ”

"Oh, okay." Lu Cheng looked at Chiyan, whose face had changed many times, and was a little confused by the monk who was a little bit confused.

Does it feel wrong, is it possible that Chiyan didn't expect to be given such a high salary? In fact, she is very poor? Lu Cheng thought about it for a while, and smiled self-deprecatingly, what are you kidding, an epic blacksmith will be short of money? Anyone who builds a weapon and has to sell it for hundreds of thousands of dollars will be poor? Don't be funny!

"Ahhh Shamer, you idiot, the sword embryo fell to the ground and fell to waste, why don't you pick it up! ”

"Old... Teacher Chiyan, I can't pick up what you were dancing with just now. ”

A commotion could be heard in the distance.

Outside the territory.

The retreating robbers set up camp a few miles from the city walls, hundreds of improvised tents of all kinds were spread out, and the animals in the woods were swept away by the hungry robbers, and became the ingredients that were constantly tumbling on the campfires and in the soup, and the smell of food wafted far away, and the militia guarding the city walls swallowed and foamed involuntarily.

In the tent in the center of the bandit camp, Otis and dozens of bandit leaders of all levels sat on the ground.

"How long will it take for reinforcements to arrive?" Otis was the first to ask.

The cronie sitting on the right-hand side replied: "It is expected that all of them will be in place in another day, and now the total number of troops has reached more than 2,800, and there are 500 more on the way." ”

"Hmph, speed up and tell them to come to me with their heads up to me if they don't arrive before noon tomorrow." Otis ordered.

"Chief, there's news from my camp that a brother saw a small boat sailing along the coastline at noon today." A small bandit leader reported.

"Oh? Did you find any issues? Is it someone sent from above? Otis asked casually.

"Chief, that ship is not the type of ship used above, and it is not very large, but this ship has been operating near the coastline, and there are relatively few brothers left in the camp, I wonder if it is an enemy ship..."The little bandit leader said worriedly.

"Hmph~ I don't have time to care what will happen to your camp, if you don't get the things you want within the specified time, don't talk about you, all of us have to move our heads, don't mention these worthless things again, the only thing to do now is to capture this village in front of you and seize the cipher tube." Otis waved impatiently to interrupt the little leader.

"What the leader said is that the city wall is not the most troublesome, the most troublesome thing is the fire attack of the other party, a large area is burned, the warriors are seriously damaged, and there are many adventurers in the opponent's territory, this village has only been established for a long time, it stands to reason that there will not be so many adventurers, this is also a strong enemy that we did not expect." The henchman complained.

"What are you afraid of, their fire oil is not endless, as long as you lure the other party to use fire oil a few more times, it won't be long before it will be exhausted." Said a small leader.

Otis glanced around and said coldly: "I don't care what method you use, if you don't complete the goal within 3 days, I will personally let you taste the taste of life is better than death." From now on, every 2 hours, launch an attack of more than 5 teams of 100 people, the opponent is not allowed to retreat until he uses the oil he has, and those who withdraw will not be killed! ”

"Yes, Chief!"

A few hours later, the robbers launched a new offensive again, and Lu Cheng rushed to the city wall as soon as he received the alarm from the city wall.

"Lord Lord, the robbers have invested 5 hundred-person teams this time, and the other bandits are stationed in the back, and there is no intention of attacking them directly, but it may also be a trap." Arthur is the only high-level adventurer left behind in the territory.

Lu Cheng carefully observed the meeting and found that the robbers attacked near the North Second Gate this time, and the robbers of about 500 people rushed to the city wall with all kinds of siege equipment, and quickly put the ladder on the city wall, and the robbers who did not suffer much loss immediately rushed to climb up, but this time the robbers also learned the lesson of fire attack, and the interval between the ladders was relatively large.

The militia and a small number of adventurers on the city wall immediately gathered, wielding all kinds of weapons to suppress the robbers, and a few robbers with strong force barely climbed the city wall but were quickly eliminated by the adventurers, and the sound of fighting on the city wall of more than 100 meters was quite chaotic.

"My lord, do you need to arrange a fire attack?" Arthur asked.

"Command, fire attack." Lu Cheng was worried that the robbers were deliberately mobilizing a small number of troops to confuse their sight, and then forcibly occupied the city wall and opened the city gate to lure other robbers in.

Groups of oil were poured under the walls and quickly set on fire, and surprisingly, when the robbers found out that the militia had begun to pour the oil, they quickly retreated, and only a few unlucky people were burned to death.

Looking at the robbers rolling away, Arthur and Lu Cheng looked at each other, it was obvious that the robbers had retreated in a premeditated manner, and they immediately retreated if they couldn't hit it.

"It seems that this time is going to be peaceful!" Lu Cheng smiled bitterly, he had guessed a little bit of the robber's plan in his heart.

Sure enough, a few hours later, another wave of robbers rushed up, and after a fierce fight, the robbers, who had left dozens of corpses, fled back under the blazing flames of burning oil.

Over the course of a day, the robbers continued to launch more than 10 brief attacks, each of which took place in a different location and showed no pattern. The militia and adventurers on the walls were exhausted, running back and forth from the north to the south of the walls many times, long exhausted. Lu Cheng wanted to ask the militiamen who were far away not to go over to support and rest on the spot, but at this time, another wave of robbers of nearly 1,000 people suddenly launched a sneak attack, and Lu Cheng had to send militia to help.

"This can't be done, if you don't wait for the robbers to come, the militia will be tossed without any strength." Lu Cheng muttered.

"Hehe, Miss Ben is here, don't be afraid of these little thieves!" Chi Yan didn't know when he arrived on the city wall, and patted Lu Cheng's shoulder hard, "Look, this is the elite legion of the territory I formed!" ”

Rubbing his shoulder, which was a little painful, Lu Cheng looked in the direction pointed by Chiyan, and saw that there was a militia team of 200 people standing at the gate of the North No. 2 City Gate under the city wall in a neat and orderly manner, and every militia was fully equipped, with dwarf steel swords, dwarf steel armor, and dwarf steel shields above the level of quality, and under the strong request of Chiyan, hundreds of gold were spent to specially configure equipment for secondary parts such as leather helmets, leather boots, and leather bracers. This team has also become the main army in the territory after the adventurers.

"It's pretty good, it looks imposing, and the combat power should be very strong, right?" Lu Cheng nodded with satisfaction.

"Alas, don't boast, you haven't had time to do intensive training yet, you can only say that it's so-so, and you can only become a really powerful army when you finish training in the future." Chi Yan waved his hand and said bluntly.

"My lord, the robbers are attacking again!" The watchtower saw that the robbers were attacking again.

"How many are there?" Arthur asked.

"There's... There are many, many people, maybe 3000 people! "The militia on the watchtower has calmed down.

"3,000 people!?" Lu Cheng was also taken aback, in the past, the most robbers were only more than 2,000, but if 3,000 people can be launched to attack this time, then how many robbers are there, is it increasing all the time?

"Ahh Liya, who had just rushed over, saw the crowds of robbers outside the city wall and sighed, "My lord, I originally wanted to take you to see the site of the dry dock, but it seems that this place is also quite busy, do you want the little girl to help?" ”

"You're a magician, of course you have to help, come, go with your sister and talk to the thieves outside about life." Red Flame hooked her finger at Ria and tempted.

"I hate it, I only like handsome guys, can you eat beautiful big sisters or something?" Leah rolled her eyes.

"Yo, the little girl is very interesting." Chi Yan clasped his hands to his chest, glanced at Liya and said, "30 gold, how about doing a vote together?" ”

"Ahhh Leah's eyes were full of little stars.

Leah, you're off, hey!
