Edward's army made its way into Forscart City.

Contrary to Mocha and the mercenary leaders, Edward could be regarded as innocent of all crimes after entering the city.

Although Edward proposed to buy the city, he also brought out 10,000 gold coins and handed it to all the mercenary groups.

In fact, this money is not bad for a medium dungeon, and it is not bad to be able to buy one percent.

The leaders of the mercenary group just need an excuse to accept their own surrender.

Originally, after entering the city, he was going to quietly return the money to Edward, and even the treasury in the original city lord's mansion was also given to Edward.

In fact, for the treasury of the City Lord's Mansion, the various mercenary groups almost fought.

It was Mocha who came out loud and proposed to close the vault, and then slowly count and divide the accounts.

Because of too much treasure and distribution problems, this vault has not yet been officially opened.

According to the preliminary prediction of Mocha and others for this treasure house, the value is also more than five million gold coins.

You must know that this is the underground world, the underground minerals are abundant, the gold content of gold coins is also higher, and the value is also underestimated, so these treasures can at least double when they are obtained from the underground world.

Edward spent 10,000 gold coins to get a city and a treasure trove worth more than 10 million, which was a lot of money.

However, after entering the city, Edward not only did not take back the 10,000 gold coins, but also treated all the mercenary group leaders very politely.

The treasure vault accepted, but instead took out a million gold coins and offered a reward for the mercenary group to join Edward's troops.

At the same time, all kinds of construction sites illegally occupied by major mercenary groups are acquiesced.

It can be said that although Edward occupied Forscart City, he was not guilty of any crimes for the mercenary group.

At the same time, it also opened a warehouse to release grain to help the refugees who had fled to Forscart City.

Therefore, for a while, many mercenaries felt that Edward was indeed a very reputable and generous good city lord. A large number of mercenaries and refugees joined Edward's ranks.

Edward again had eight hundred more than a decent force.

In fact, Edward was not purely trying to win over the people. Rather, Edward had no intention of occupying Forscart City for a long time.

This is its own back road. Therefore, we must have a good mass base.

Otherwise, when the time comes, he will run away or the enemy army will attack, and he will not be betrayed by these people.

Of course, Edward's idea was simple. But it is a rare or very abnormal practice for the underground world full of intrigue and intrigues, and in fact, it is also rare to see it on the territory of the Church of Light in the underground world.

Because this world is a world where the strong are respected.

The weak must unconditionally serve the noble people and those of the powerful professions, or they will be put to death.

The lords and nobles of the city only knew their pleasures and the struggle for power among themselves, and they did not care at all about the misery of the common people below.

If the name of the village is rich, then it will be known and forcibly taken away by the lord or noble, and if you dare to resist, you will be killed.

The law was only between commoners, while both the nobility and the profession had privileges.

It makes sense to win over the mercenary group, after all, it's wartime. The mercenary group has a strong force at their disposal, so it can be said that Edward is generous and respectful of talents.

But opening a warehouse to release grain is really rare for the underground people, and ordinary civilians are slaves to the nobles. And the price of grain in this material-poor and underdeveloped place has increased dramatically. Saving civilians with food is a waste in the eyes of some high-level Dark Elf professionals, or there is no place to spend money.

What is the use of such a thing as a civilian, except for paying taxes and even taking up space as cannon fodder.

It's combat time. Edward didn't plan to occupy this place for long, and even if he saved the civilians now, it wouldn't be someone else's in the end.

When Edward learned what the gang was thinking, he wondered if he had made a mistake.

However, Edward soon reacted, although it was a loss to do so. But Edward could not have watched the ragged paupers starve to death in wailing.

Although he is only a lord for a while, he must also fulfill his responsibility and not let these refugees die like this.

Edward did. However, due to the lack of food in Forscart City, Edward still had to raise a large army. Therefore, the refugees had to eat very thin soup.

For this reason, Edward issued a quest with gold coins to the mercenaries who were unwilling to join Edward's team, asking them to go to the fiery red mystery to hunt some monsters and return to increase the food in the city.

In short, Edward truly assumed the responsibility of the lord of the city. Despite the hardships of life, the refugees are grateful that they have met a benevolent lord.

"My lord, there are not enough tents for refugees, and we need to buy a batch of tents here." Lisa Bloodwell, the dark ranger who has admired Edward since he personally persuaded him to surrender the entire city of Forscart.

And now looking at Edward, who was meditating over there for all kinds of government affairs, Lisa Bloodspring couldn't help but feel a little stupid. She noticed that Edward was different, but at first it was just a gut feeling, and now she felt as if she really had a liking for the kind little lord.

At the gate of the City Lord's Mansion on the other side, two little beauties were arguing.

"Sister, do you really want to lead the flaming flames to join this stupid lord's men?" Salegi Sistin said, pulling Mocha Sistin.

"Didn't I teach you to speak well? How can you call Lord White an idiot? Mocha tapped Salegi on the head and said.

"How is he not stupid? The money in the treasure vault was originally his sister's, but now it has been lost to him. You think that an ordinary mercenary group only has a dozen gold coins for a junior task, but he gives each soldier thirty gold coins per month, and the leader of the mercenary group ranges from one hundred to two hundred gold coins. A small mercenary group is at least a thousand gold coins, not counting the subsidies and casualty benefits he promised. He spent 100,000 gold coins just to recruit 800 troops, he is a lord! If I come, it will only cost five thousand. And those refugees have consumed so much food in vain, and now the price of food we buy is extremely expensive. Not to mention that he also issued missions to those mercenaries, all starting with a hundred gold coins. The price of this mercenary mission increased him four or five times. He's a big wrongdoer. "Sarlegi seems to be very proficient in arithmetic, and in fact the mage is definitely not bad at mathematics. After all, the connection between various magic formulas and mathematics is still very high.

"Hmph, all you know is money. I spent 10,000 gold coins to apprentice you. You've been learning magic for the past few years, not a few thousand gold coins a year. Are you talking about money now? Mocha said angrily.

"Ahh Sister, why do you count like that? I'm a high-level flame mage now, and I brought you those classmates of mine, and you don't compliment me and talk to me about money! Salegi screamed.

"Yes, so I have to give you a salary of a few hundred gold coins every month for this high-level flame mage, if it weren't for you being my own sister, I would have given you a long time ago." Mocha said, rolling his eyes.

"Then I'll do my part." Salegi said unconvinced.

"So Lord White is not stupid, although he spent so much money, but he also gained the hearts of the people, don't you see that the city is much more orderly than when I managed? And what happened to the refugees. Aren't our fathers and mothers all commoners? Even if we are high-level professionals now, do we have to be superior to them? Mocha seemed bland, but there was a hint of excitement in his tone.

"Oh, I see." Salegi was honest, she remembered that her parents were just ordinary mercenaries, and after a mission, the sisters' father also died.

Then the sisters were left to the care of their mother, who eventually fell ill and died.

Until Mocha showed a strong talent for swordsmanship and worshipped the old leader of the Red Flame Mercenary Regiment as his master. has slowly become a strong man now.

And this is also a tragic past that Salegi doesn't want to remember, which is why Salegi cares so much about gold coins, in fact, he has been used to it since he was a child.

Later, life was better, and Saleji was also sent by Mocha, who inherited the Red Flame Mercenary Regiment, to learn magic. It took three years until I recently returned from school.

It can be said that the powerful computing power gave Salegi a superhuman talent in magic, and also allowed her to get rid of the embarrassment at that time.

"But my sister's choice is not bad, actually. After all, this stupid ...... Lord White is still very generous, if my sister goes. Our mercenary group can receive at least thirty gold coins per person, oh no. We're at least the largest mercenary group, at least double. As for my sister and me, two beautiful women, at least 10,000 gold coins. Saragi's saliva was about to come out.

"What nonsense are you talking about! We're not going to sell ourselves. Mocha knocked Salegi on the head.

"Hmph, I can see that little lord is very hot-eyed sister. And didn't this little lord just enter the city and send 20,000 gold coins to his sister to recruit him? Salegi said with a wink.

"Hmph, I don't have anything to say to you, let's go in quickly." Mocha has nothing to say to his money-greedy sister, and he can't do without money in three sentences.

Edward, who was reviewing government affairs, heard Mocha coming, and hurried out.

Earlier, Edward wanted to recruit Mocha because he looked too much like a favorite star in his previous life, but now after dealing with government affairs, he found that this idea was more urgent.

After all, the government affairs in the city were all handled by Mocha before, which shows that Mocha is still very talented.

"Lord of the city, my sister and I came to see you, are you happy?" Salegi said with a smile, and finally didn't forget to throw a wink.

"Happy, happy, I'm so happy!" Can Edward be unhappy that he is simply looking forward to a savior?

"Then our Flaming Flame Mercenary Regiment has come to take refuge in you, do you have to show a little?" The fox's tail was exposed.

"Yes, of course. You can open it at such a price, as long as Sister Mocha comes to help me, it's not bad money. Although Edward was a little strange that Mocha's younger sister seemed to have a very open personality, he didn't care so much, but just stared at Mocha and smiled.

"Then 100,000 gold coins, my sister and I will calculate it separately, by the way, the previous 20,000 is a deposit. Let me tell you, you don't have a loss, our mercenary group still has a hero-level master, and 100,000 gold coins still depends on your bold face. Salegi said generously.

"100,000 gold coins!" Lisa on the side couldn't stand it anymore, she just fell in love with Edward, although she was a little shy and didn't dare to confess, but in her bones she was still a dark elf, and it was impossible for her to let go of the man she valued.

Now Mocha is such a big threat to himself, and now he has a sister.

How could he agree to such a ridiculous idea, who also considered himself to be the lord's right-hand man.

The previous 20,000 gold coins were not a bad price for the more elite Fiery Red Flame Mercenary Group, and even more than Lisa could accept it, after all, Mocha had a high prestige in Forscat City.

But now he still needs 100,000 gold coins, not counting Mocha's money, isn't this blackmail?

"I agree!" Edward didn't care much, money could be sold for at least about 10 million in the surface world with the mineral treasures Edward looted, and 100,000 gold coins were just a drizzle.

"No, Lord Edward, ordinary high-level professionals in the underground world are only five hundred gold coins per month, and now the adult's offer of eight hundred gold coins is already very kind. You still need 100,000 gold coins, and as far as I know, the Flaming Flame Mercenary Group is only a dozen high-level mercenaries, even if you add seven or eight mages, it will only add up to 20,000 gold coins. Now that 20,000 has been given, you still need 100,000 gold coins, which is really a lion's mouth. And I've never heard of that hero-level powerhouse, and if you want to cheat the lord out of money, I won't agree. Lisa said angrily.

"What do you disagree with, who are you? Your Lord has already agreed, what's the use of your objections? Besides, why don't we have a hero-level powerhouse, this is your loneliness, this hero-level powerhouse is something we finally rescued and used as a hole card. A hero-level powerhouse, is 100,000 gold coins too much? Saleji argued.

"I, I'm the lord's steward, and I'll take care of the money." Lisa suddenly remembered that Edward had already given Lisa the key to the treasury in order to ease government affairs.

It's just that Lisa insisted that everything must be reported to Edward, so she didn't expect that the finances were actually in her own hands.

Edward rolled his eyes, as if it was like this, and he had no choice but to get himself a housekeeper.

"Sister Mocha, do you have a hero-level powerhouse? Why didn't you see it before? "Edward is a little curious, after all, a hero-level powerhouse, his temperament is still obvious, unless it is an assassin-type hero, otherwise the strong aura of a hero-level powerhouse will seem incompatible with ordinary people.

"Well, we did save a hero-level powerhouse, or a minotaur, but he is seriously injured now, so he can't come." Mocha said.

"Minotaur! Can you know what his name is? Edward was immediately thrilled when he heard the Minotaur.

"It seems to be called Dyce Thunder or something, I don't know the specifics, this strong man is too seriously injured, we can only give simple treatment." Mocha recalled.

"Brother Dyce! It's actually Big Brother Dyce! Take me there. Edward was instantly unsettled when he heard the name, and immediately shouted, "And call Alista and them, Sister Mocha, take me to see Big Brother Dyce." ”

"Oh, good." Originally, I felt that Edward had an unusual relationship with the Minotaur clan, so I came to see Edward, but I didn't expect that the Minotaur strong man I saved actually knew Edward. (To be continued.) )
