No matter what the outside world reacts, the battle between the Brotherhood and the remnants of the Zhengnan Army continues, but if Xiao Tianlei is willing, it can actually end quickly, and the Zhengnan Army in the middle has retreated to Guangpingji in Yuezhou, which can be regarded as a solution all the way. The Brotherhood could completely outflank the other two roads, but after Xiao Tianlei asked for the opinions of his brothers, he decided to keep those two roads and take some Shanyue soldiers to attack every day to carry out small-scale battles or raids, regardless of whether he had any results or not, even if it was to train soldiers, this was also to earn more gold coins.

The reason why they did not retreat was not because they did not want to retreat, but because the generalissimo Fu Kaijiang was half dead, and no one ordered the withdrawal of the army, anyway, the brotherhood did not attack, so it could only be so deadlocked, while reporting to the imperial court and waiting for the decision of the imperial court.

However, the leader of the Brotherhood led some Shanyue soldiers every day to invite the battle outside the camp of the Southern Army.

The two sides are just playing with each other, which is basically calm.

At this time, the Nanyue Pass had been opened, allowing caravans to pass, and the trade between Lingzhou and the outside world had never stopped, even when the three passes were closed, the merchants took the waterways and some small roads, and the Brotherhood would provide some help. The southern army also knew that there were also advisers who suggested that some soldiers pretend to be caravans to enter Lingzhou, but the inspection is very strict, and there are restrictions on the size of the caravan. The Shanyue soldiers under the banner of the Brotherhood are extremely powerful, and the martial arts of most Shanyue soldiers may be average, but a standard equipment, armor and weapons are complete, and they are also equipped with some stainless steel crossbows and other equipment, most of the Shanyue soldiers wear a horn helmet, but it has become the characteristic of a large Shanyue soldiers, Shanyue soldiers are extremely disciplined, not afraid of death, good at joint attacks, and will also use some poisons, net ropes, etc., good martial artists encounter, only to escape.

With the opening of the South Vietnam Pass, there are indeed many spies who have infiltrated Lingzhou, but if these people are honest in business, the Brotherhood will not do anything to them. Then, these spies will find that Lingzhou is very different from the original, it is not easy to move freely in Lingzhou, now everyone in Lingzhou has an identity card, because the current conditions are limited, the identity card is wooden, with a manual machine, the words and numbers are pressed up, in addition to the name, place of origin, there are Arabic numerals on the identity card, people inside the brotherhood, a look at these numbers, you can see the residence, age, gender and other information of the ID card, outsiders may be able to imitate, However, if you can't figure out the doorway, it's easy to show your feet. Outsiders are also issued identity badges, but they are limited to a certain area of activity, and they can't just walk around and run around without permission, and they will soon be discovered.

Moreover, many things in the Brotherhood are strictly secret, even many members of the Brotherhood do not know, and it is impossible for outsiders to know the secrets.

Of course, all this did not stop the spies from acting, each with a strange move, as a result, many were caught by the Brotherhood, the Brotherhood behaved quite leniently towards these spies, the way of dealing with them was simple and rude, very similar to the characteristics of the Brotherhood, interrogation, some did not even interrogate, directly let the payment of fines, even if many people secretly scolded the Brotherhood for "death for money!" "Generally, they will pay the money obediently, so many spies are shaken clean and slippery, and when they go out, they have no money on them, so it is difficult to move an inch, and if they do anything illegal and undisciplined, they can only be sent to do hard labor.

Lingzhou City has returned to the liveliness of the past, even more lively than before, war or something, as if it had never happened, originally, for ordinary people, it is still a peaceful and stable life, even if there are opinions, life still has to live. It's just that in some places in Lingzhou, there are more patrolling Shanyue soldiers, and there are some Shanyue people wearing red sleeves, and many workers line up every day to carry out various constructions.

At present, many Shanyue people and the families of the members of the fraternity have moved into the new houses built by the unity, because of the special design, taking into account various needs, these residences are very convenient to live, arousing the envy of many people in Lingzhou, hoping that one day they can also share a new house, and then have a piece of their own land. It's just that if it weren't for the Shanyue people, it would not be easy to join the brotherhood, the brotherhood mainly recruits younger children and teenagers, and has to carry out various assessments, and because they are afraid that the imperial court will send a large army to attack one day, many people are also indecisive and difficult to decide.

After half a month, the imperial court ordered Song Shixiong to take charge of the military affairs of the southern army, Song Shixiong ordered the southern army of Maoling Pass and Longya Pass to return to Maozhou and Yuezhou, and set up checkpoint defense in the border area, this war was basically stagnant, and the families of some captured generals brought some silver money to Lingzhou to ransom people, such as Song Shixiong spent a lot of money to redeem his two brothers.

Believing that there would be no war in a short period of time, Xiao Tianlei and a cadre of the Brotherhood returned to Lingzhou City, and the Pudu Temple was rebuilt, and various facilities were established, which became the headquarters of the Brotherhood. After this war, the Brotherhood basically gained a firm foothold in Lingzhou, and as for the fact that Daxia sent troops to attack or something after that, Xiao Tianlei and the brothers gained a lot of gold coins.

At night, Xiao Tianlei and a group of brothers gathered in a large hall of Pudu Temple, and it took a lot of time to return to Wild Boar Ridge, so they simply upgraded their equipment and matched hero templates here in Pudu Temple, and all the preliminary preparations were also completed, and the surrounding was strictly guarded, and some materials were piled up in the hall, some of which were still the armor and weapons of the generals captured on the battlefield this time.

"Who's next?" Xiao Tianlei asked.

"Brother Tianlei, it's my turn!"

Wu Meng's sister Wu Lan was crisp and authentic, raised a hand high, and ran to Xiao Tianlei from behind, followed by an underage black panther.

Xiao Tianlei has grown up together since he was a child and has more than 20 brothers, after these people matched the hero template, the younger brothers and sisters of these brothers have become the new candidates for the hero template, these years in the Boar Ridge, some courses have been opened, they have been educated, and gradually participated in the affairs of the brotherhood.

However, seeing Wulan popping out, Xiao Tianlei was slightly stunned, remembering that there should be other brothers who did not get the hero template, glanced at the other brothers, and shrugged their shoulders and chuckled, meaning to let Xiao Tianlei watch it. In the private chat system, Wu Meng, Xiao Tianbao, Jiang Kui, Ma Hu and a few others said that Xiao Tianlei understood the cause and effect, Ulan had long been looking forward to getting the hero template, and he was also very hard-working, and his grades in martial arts and other courses were good, and he had already stimulated his own anger, and the other brothers were very fond of this girl, and Ulan's mouth was also sweet, and as soon as his brother called, those brothers promised to give this opportunity to Ulan, anyway, there will be many opportunities in the future, and some of them have not yet figured out which template to choose.

"Brother Tianlei, is there anything wrong?" Wulan's little face was a little red because of excitement, and he stared at Xiao Tianlei with a pair of big black eyes and asked.

"Uh...... No. Xiao Tianlei actually doesn't care, since they all agree, naturally they have no opinion, "It's started!" ”

"Uh-huh!" Ulan nodded heavily, breathing a little heavily.

Xiao Tianlei pointed his finger at the center of Ulan's eyebrows, and the avatars of the hero templates on the system page in his field of vision jumped, and in the end, there were only a few female hero avatars left, among which the one with the highest matching degree turned out to be the wild huntress Nedri, who couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Wild Huntress Nedri, commonly known as the Leopard Girl, a female hero who can transform between humanoid and cougar form, Ulan matched this template, and it was unscientific to ask her to transform between cougar and humanoid form. However, when Xiao Tianlei couldn't help but look at the black panther beside Ulan, he suddenly had a guess.

Originally, there was some hesitation, but at this moment, Xiao Tianlei wanted to see what kind of situation would happen after Ulan won the leopard girl template.

The next moment, the brilliance spread from Xiao Tianlei's fingertips to Wulan's whole body, and then shrouded the black panther, seeing this scene, Xiao Tianlei knew that his guess was right.

Nedri the Wild Huntress, in-game skills:

Seek - When moving through grass, Nedri's movement speed is increased by 10% for 2 seconds, and the movement speed bonus is increased to 30% when moving towards enemy heroes within 1400 yards of her vision that appear within her vision.

Javelin Throw - Human Form: Nedri throws a javelin at her target, dealing damage while in flight. Cougar Form: Her next attack will attempt to inflict lethal damage on the target, and the lower the target's health, the more damage it will do.

Jungle Ambush - In human form, Nedri will place a trap at a specific location, and the vision of the unit that steps on the trap will be exposed to Nedri, and the damage will be taken over time. In her cougar form, she pounces on her target, dealing a small amount of damage when she lands. The Pounce is not affected by cooldown reduction.

Wild Gallop - Human Form: Nedri channels the cougar's soul to heal allied units, briefly increasing their attack speed. Cougar form: She quickly swings her claws at enemies in front of her.

Cougar - Nedri transforms into a cougar form and gains new skills.

Obviously, Ulan and the Black Panther next to her have obtained the Wild Huntress hero template, and Ulan didn't have to change form or anything, and the Black Panther became her partner.

"Huh...... Xiao Hei, how good! Xiao Tianlei thought about it, and Ulan woke up from the trance state of obtaining the hero template, and immediately hugged the black panther Xiao Hei happily.

"Ulan, how do you feel?" Xiao Tianlei asked.

"Hmm...... There seems to be something more in my head, I can know what Xiao Hei is thinking......"

Ulan doesn't know how to tell it, he has just obtained the hero template, and the skills need a while to explore, however, Xiao Tianlei still knows from Ulan's words that Ulan and the panther Xiao Hei can communicate with each other at this time, and the panther Xiao Hei has not changed much on the surface, but Xiao Tianlei believes that as long as it grows bigger, it should become a strange beast, in addition, about Ulan learned some ways to make traps, and there are some skills in the use of Gang Qi.

Next, Ulan synthesized equipment, and the initial equipment of the synthesis, in addition to a spear, there are also four javelins that are more than one meter long, which are extremely sharp.

"Ulan is so lucky, this time, the mount is also there, and the black panther is a mount, which is really majestic!"

Xiao Tianbao was a little envious, there was a thunder lying in front of him, he had more than doubled his size, pestering Xiao Tianbao all day long, Xiao Tianbao couldn't move his back, originally, Xiao Tianbao wanted Thunder to be a mount, but now it seems to be the other way around. The other brothers are also discussing, it is good to make a war horse a mount, but how can there be a special and majestic beast, so they all have the idea to get some special mounts.

Regarding this point, Xiao Tianlei felt that he could try to use some heterogeneous hero templates on some suitable beasts, and a group of people were discussing it enthusiastically, Xiao Tianlei received a spiritual fluctuation from the steel mane, it seemed that someone was approaching it, and it was someone from the Brotherhood.

Xiao Tianlei told his brothers, and walked out, Steelmane was eating in a shed outside, Xiao Tianlei rushed to take a look, but saw Qin Yue sneaky, while carefully pacifying Steelmane, took out some fruits for Steelmane, and approached Steelmane's side, to be precise, two large leather bags behind the saddle, which stored some of Xiao Tianlei's weapons and equipment, such as the North Wind Chain Flail, the Infinity Sword, the Ice Bow, the Winter Shield, and the Star Staff.

"Ouch...... It's so heavy! It's ugly! ”

Qin Yue pulled out the North Wind Flail, glanced at it and put it back in disgust, and reached out to pull it out, but he pulled out the Star Staff, and the crescent-like blade was revealed, Qin Yue's face was happy, and at this moment, a voice came from behind him: "Xiao Yue, what are you doing?" ”

Qin Yue was frightened, and hurriedly put back the Star Staff, turned around and replied, "Cousin Lei, it's nothing, I'll take a look...... Yes...... I'll help you feed the pigs! ”

"Oh......" Of course Xiao Tianlei didn't believe it, Qin Yue snatched Xiao Tianbao's shuriken, but he knew, but he didn't expect Qin Yue to start his weapon again, he was usually guarded, and when there was a meeting today, outsiders were not allowed to approach, but Qin Yue took advantage of the loophole.

"Really...... I don't lie to you! Qin Yue was a little flustered, and her face turned red.

"Don't just go near the steel mane, it eats everything!" Xiao Tianlei reminded.

"Eat everything?! You mean it...... Eat...... Person? Qin Yue was stunned for a moment, understanding the meaning of Xiao Tianlei's words.

"Xiaoyue, you are so smart!" Xiao Tianlei praised.

Being praised by Xiao Tianlei, Qin Yue was not happy at all, screamed, ran behind Xiao Tianlei, grabbed Xiao Tianlei's shoulder, and looked at the steel mane in fear.

Xiao Tianlei was happy, but he didn't show it, and said, "Okay, let's go, it's not early, go back to sleep." ”

Qin Yue also realized that she was out of shape, but she was really scared enough just now, and she had palpitations, but she still forced her to calm down and said, "People are not used to going to bed early, by the way, Cousin Lei, I heard that there are a lot of spies in Lingzhou!" Qin Yue blinked and changed the subject.

"There are so many spies, what a good thing!" Xiao Tianlei didn't care.

"Is it a good thing to have more spies?" Qin Yue was puzzled.

Xiao Tianlei is not telling a lie, disguised as a caravan spy, Xiao Tianlei is really welcome, no matter what his purpose is, to do business, how much to stimulate the economy, these people don't want to make money, just a pit. If you commit a crime and get caught, you will have an extra group of slave laborers, you can confiscate your property, you can kill and earn gold coins if you are disobedient, and you can also train a group of talents to come out, in short, there are many benefits, and you can make Lingzhou more energetic. As for the secrets of the Brotherhood, they are basically in secret places such as Wild Boar Ridge and Conch Harbor, and they can't find anything in Lingzhou, and those areas that are somewhat confidential also have strict security measures, even the insiders of the Brotherhood cannot easily enter.

Xiao Tianlei didn't persuade him, but only mentioned it slightly, and Qin Yue suddenly realized that Xiao Tianlei had this bad idea!

"And what if they know the secrets of our Brotherhood?" Qin Yue asked again.

"You're also from the Brotherhood, how much do you know?" Xiao Tianlei asked.

"......" Qin Yue was stunned, and then her mouth was raised, she worked hard in the brotherhood, and in the end she didn't know anything, so she couldn't help but say a little aggrieved: "Cousin Lei, people have been in the brotherhood for so long, there is no credit and hard work, everyone else is divided into rooms and things, what can I share?" ”

"Our brotherhood is helping the poor, you don't lack anything, what else do you want?"

"I also want a piece of majestic armor and weapons." Qin Yue didn't beat around the bush and said directly.

"You girl, what do you want armor and weapons, and it's very expensive!" Synthetic equipment, not to mention the materials, how many lives are the gold coins required for a piece of equipment!

Qin Yue grabbed Xiao Tianlei's arm and shook it: "Cousin Lei, don't be so stingy, I see that you have so many weapons, you can't use them up alone." Qin Yue recognized Xiao Tianlei, among all the leaders of the Brotherhood, only Xiao Tianlei could have so many weapons, which was also a major reason why Qin Yue thought that Xiao Tianlei was the most responsible among the leaders of the Brotherhood.

"Who said I can't use it up, every piece is useful, and it's all tailor-made, and I want to match the martial arts, and I won't take advantage of it."

"You also need supporting martial arts!" Qin Yue is in a difficult situation now, getting a good weapon, he can't exert his power, it's not interesting, and he still asked unwillingly: "Then how can I make one for me!" ”

"Well, if you do something big, maybe it's possible." Xiao Tianlei said ambiguously, one or two weapons are nothing to Xiao Tianlei, but everything has to pay a price, and it can't be given in vain.

"Credit......" Qin Yue was in trouble, she couldn't think of anything she could do for the brotherhood.

Xiao Tianlei actually said casually, although he knew that Qin Yue was a little secret agent, but she was really unprofessional and a little stupid, just be a little vigilant. After that, Qin Yue made small reports to Xiao Tianlei from time to time, saying some "secret" information she heard, but often Xiao Tianlei knew it first, and the value itself was not great, but Xiao Tianlei found that Qin Yue had a talent for intelligence work, and considered whether to transfer her to work in the intelligence department.

The time enters October, and it is the time of the new year's dragon blood wine, tobacco, and perfume trade, and many people pour into Lingzhou, among which there are businessmen who hope to get a piece of the pie, and there are also many uninvited guests with various purposes, and Lingzhou is becoming more and more lively.
