Of course, in order to publicize such news, the sergeants used many different methods, including pretending to be merchants, selling the goods they had just bought an hour earlier at a low price, and then pretending to whisper to the person who bought the goods, and the reason why they sold the goods quickly was actually because they got such a news, and other small tricks deepened the fear of ordinary Xiangcheng residents and merchants.

At the station of the Night Wolf Mercenary Group, Rick showed the Night Wolf an edict stamped with the Queen's jade seal to prove that he was not talking nonsense, and then after giving Night Wolf enough stimulation, Rick took Wei Mang out of the Night Wolf Mercenary Group's station, and then asked Wei Mang to contact the leaders of the other three mercenary groups.

In the next three days, Rick visited the leaders of the other three mercenary groups, in fact, as long as Wei Mang raised the name of "First Earl of the Blue Moon Empire", these mercenary groups that were careful to survive among the major forces were still happy to meet Rick for a while, and Rick pretended to be the same brother every time, and clearly expressed to the teams of the four mercenary groups in Xiangcheng that he intended to reclaim the "territory", and intentionally or unintentionally, Rick emphasized that if the mercenary group was unwilling, Then the next step will be to send a garrison from the Divine Fortress to help him.

At the same time, the three hundred sergeants who followed Rick into the city had already made the rumors fly all over the city, and the originally prosperous street market in Xiangcheng seemed to be much depressed, and the situation of people coming and going in the past began to become sparse, and after the acquaintances met, the words of greeting were no longer how much money you made today, but whether you heard new news today, some people who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic and some treacherous businessmen. then take the opportunity to wave the role of rumors to the end. Fueling the flames yourself and making money from it. So on the sixth day after Rick entered the city, the gate of Xiangcheng, which had not been closed for twenty years, was closed under the joint discussion of the four mercenary groups.

This did not stop the rumors, but made more merchants and residents who did not leave Xiangcheng believe the rumors even more, so the three hundred sergeants, at the behest of Rick, changed the content of the rumors and began to spread the news that Her Majesty Xià, the queen of the Blue Moon Empire, had ordered the Xiangcheng to be returned to the imperial administration. And the first-class earl, who was responsible for receiving Xiangcheng, had already arrived at the Divine Seal Fortress.

At this time, Sha Huoman and Capri, who stayed in the Shenfeng Fortress, were extremely admiring Rick, because in the past few days, the merchants of Xiangcheng who had swarmed in from the north gate of the open fortress had almost filled the entire fortress, and they also let the residents of the original fortress know what the real merchants were like.

In this process of creating rumors, Rick has not been idle, for Rick. The top priority is how to make the four major mercenary groups in Xiangcheng bow down to him and recognize his status. Although Rick has now rightfully moved into the former lord's mansion, after all, it can't be practical without the support of strength. At the same time, Rick was still worried about where the legion formed by several countries had reached.

'Chrissy, is there any way you can find out the enemy's whereabouts?' After two days of frustration, Rick finally came up with the idea of asking the ladies about it, as Rick hadn't really spoken to them since he left Boyent.

'Nope! Chrissy replied honestly, because if you know the direction of the other party's whereabouts and probe with a purpose, then whether it is the Wind Exploration Technique or the Earth Listening, you can profit from some information, but now you don't know how many people there are in that mysterious legion, and where they come from, in this case, there is no place for such a number of probing spells.

Rick turned his head to look at Egret and Gyokuro in disappointment, and now both of them shook their heads gently, although Egret as a warrior is definitely a first-class powerhouse, and Gyokuro, as a killer and spy, is an absolute master, but neither of them has ever had experience on the battlefield, so some skills that can only be used in war, the two girls will naturally not understand.

So Rick sighed again, thinking hard about whether there was any good way to find out the enemy's whereabouts, and Chrissy on the side couldn't bear to see Rick's sad look, and said casually: "Now I don't know how to find out the enemy's whereabouts, but before I was sealed in the zài 10,000-year crystal, before our army went into battle, there were phantom beasts that specialized in listening to news, responsible for detecting the actions of all enemies. ’

One sentence made Rick suddenly realize, these days he has been busy learning about the situation of the Shenfeng Fortress and the situation in Xiangcheng, and he actually forgot about his phantom beast, and ** and Coco stayed in the backpack because they had enough magic crystals as food, and did not do anything to attract Rick's attention, as for the little lazy worm, he has been dreaming of the 10,000-year-old crystal.

Thinking of this, Rick immediately took the little lazy worm out of his backpack, and then grabbed the ** and Coco, who were overfed and were turning their bellies to breathe, and after still being on the ground, he ordered: "You guys, quickly let me find out the whereabouts of the enemy." On the side, Chrissy and the heron began to laugh, because Rick was obviously transforming his boredom into the phantom beast's body, and then looking at ** Coco, he looked like he was ignoring, and the little lazy insect showed a pitiful look of being wronged, and even Yulu couldn't help laughing.

Just when Rick was helpless, a crisp phoenix roar came from the air, and the huge body of the blood phoenix appeared in Rick's field of vision, Rick immediately forgot all the unpleasantness, rushed over without waiting for the blood phoenix to stop, added a flight to himself, and flew up in the air and hugged the blood phoenix, since the last time he left the training ground in the Boyin Pemont Mansion, the blood phoenix returned to Rick's side for the first time.

The arrival of the blood phoenix also made the others very happy, and the happiest thing was actually Gyokuro's phantom beast, the dark guardian beast that looked like a big black cat, greeted Rick for a while, and the blood phoenix walked with its characteristic steps to catch up with Gyokuro's dark guardian beast, while Rick continued to worry about how to find out the enemy's news.

Suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his head, and Rick jumped up for joy and said happily, "I'm so stupid to have such a useful spy and not use it." Then he hugged Yulu and kissed him twice, then pointed at the Dark Guardian Beast and the Blood Phoenix and said, "Aren't they the best spies?" ’

Xiangcheng soon fell into confusion, from ordinary residents to a forest of mercenary group members, everyone was discussing the upcoming troubles and apocalyptic crises, and the only four mercenary groups who knew the situation were full of bitterness, and they could neither make the real news public, nor stand up to refute the rumors.

If the real news is made public, then the characteristics of Xiangcheng, a city that has always had a sense of neutrality, will no longer exist, and the fair and just environment of Xiangcheng will of course become a bubble, and it is almost impossible to restore the previous status again, and once the truth of the facts is made public, then the Miracle Mercenary Group and the Qinglong Mercenary Group will inevitably become the ridicule of the people of Xiangcheng, and the original legitimate mercenary group will become the lackeys of a certain force, even if this is the case, it is also unacceptable. And neither Bubaro nor Long Flash want to see such a situation happen.

In addition to not being able to disclose the real news, the four major mercenary groups also have no way to stand up and refute the rumors, because although this rumor itself does not have any basis, but within the four major mercenary groups, this is an open fact, there is such a legion forced into Xiangcheng, and everyone is clear, the key to the problem is that the purpose of the legion to force into Xiangcheng is not for the prosperity and beauty of Xiangcheng as the rumors say, but just to take the opportunity to occupy the Shenfeng Fortress, so if you want to refute the rumors, It is inevitable that the true purpose of the legion will be made public, which is impossible to accept whether it is a legion composed of several coalition forces or the four mercenary groups that play an auxiliary role in this offensive process.

As a result, Xiangcheng became even more chaotic, and the four mercenary groups that were originally responsible for maintaining order in Xiangcheng also promoted the idea and authority of maintaining order.

Just when Xiangcheng was in a mess, and more Xiangcheng residents and merchants were considering whether to leave Xiangcheng, Rick finally posted a notice in the original City Lord's Mansion, announcing that the residents of Xiangcheng would officially take over the territory that he had been rewarded by His Majesty the Queen of the Blue Moon Empire, and that from this day on, Lord Marquis Xia Hua and his subordinates would take over the maintenance of Xiangcheng, including taxes, security, and public order.

The merchants are very happy, from the mercenary group that used to need to pay money to protect themselves, to now they don't have to pay taxes to anyone at all, almost all the merchants and merchants are very happy, and even on the first day of the announcement, there are many merchants who have heard the wind and returned to Xiangcheng from the Shenfeng Fortress, and they seem to be explaining the changes and exhibitions of Xiangcheng to others.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the three hundred sergeants who were originally responsible for spreading rumors have become the maintainers of public order in Xiangcheng, and in order to promote the economic development of Xiangcheng, the first lord order issued by the Marquis of Xia Hua is to exempt all merchants in Xiangcheng from taxes for a whole year, that is to say, for a whole year, all merchants in Xiangcheng do not need to pay any taxes to anyone, and before that, it was the four major mercenary groups that collected taxes. While distributing the relevant lord's order, Rick sent an invitation to the leaders of the four mercenary groups, inviting them to dinner in the lord's mansion.

Rick's lord order obviously hurt the interests of the four mercenary groups, which made all the personnel of the mercenary group, from the head of the group to the ordinary mercenary, very unhappy, after all, for mercenaries, interests are always the first, so although Rick only invited the leaders of the four major mercenary groups, but the number of mercenary groups that actually came to the lord's mansion was more than four, including the leaders of some other small mercenary groups, who also came to the lord's mansion, and seemed to want to ask the new and obviously self-appointed lord for an explanation.
