Chapter 248: Forming a New Army

Over the next few days, Sargeras and I had a discussion about the new White Tiger Bands, and Betty got involved, after all...... Although she is young, she has also been the eldest sister for many years.

Although 100 million is not a lot of money for me, you must know that no matter who it is, 100 million is always 100 million, it will not become 1 million, and ...... Money is a trivial matter, and once these guys betray me, then I'm afraid I'll have to be half angry, so ...... The focus of our research is on loyalty and discipline, and I must guarantee the absolute obedience of this team, and my absolute rights to this team!

Obviously, Sargeras also knows this, in this world, no one is a good person, who comes out to mix, nothing more than fame and fortune, people pay so much money out, they definitely don't want to be beaten, not to mention, no matter who faces betrayal, I'm afraid it won't be good.

As far as loyalty and betrayal are concerned, we have made careful arrangements, and the process is actually nothing more than the management system of the big companies on the earth, layer by layer, mutual supervision, mutual restraint, if you want to rebel, how is it possible! This is equivalent to my private property!

However, I am not a person who clings to power, in addition to absolute command and ownership, in line with the principle of not using suspicious people and employing people, I delegated power to Sargeras, except for possession and absolute command, everything else is handed over to him to manage, after all...... There's no way I'm going to manage it all myself.

As for Betty, she has basically become my representative, who is Glass's top boss, equivalent to the executive president of a large company on Earth, and Sargeras's status is equivalent to the general manager, and I ...... Naturally, it's the chairman.

After nearly a week of continuous consultations, the final ...... We finally reached a consensus, in terms of money, we can open up flowers, and my only request is that in a short period of time, the thieves around the Phantom City will be annexed, unified, and the White Tiger Hall will be formed into the largest thief corps in the Eastern Continent!

Sargeras is also a person with ideas, as the leader of a thief group, no one wants to carry forward the thief group, excitedly took over my first investment, 100 million copper coins, Sargeras excitedly left the Phantom City, watching Sargeras gradually disappear, I believe...... Soon, I will have a large dark army, as long as the team grows to a certain size, whether it is a greedy wolf thief or a fantasy city, they will all start to accept my sanctions!

Moreover, investing in the thieves group and having their own armament is only a benefit on the one hand, on the other hand, the most important thing is that once the thieves around the phantom city belong to the phantom city, then we only need to reduce the number of soldiers, so ...... I can secretly control all the forces around the Phantom City, and at that time, even if the Phantom City does not have a city wall, no one will come to attack us, and even if they do, they will have to face the many obstacles of the White Tiger Hall!

Although from now on, the amount of money I want to invest is quite large, it is simply astronomical, but you must know that the thieves group is not a charity hall, if it is done well, it is definitely one of the profiteering industries, and I am not a good man and a woman, and when the thieves group develops to a certain scale, then they not only do not need me to invest, but also ...... Every day will bring me great benefits!

After solving the matter of Sargeras, the next problem is the problem of city defense, this incident made me know clearly, our city defense is too weak, just have a city wall, in addition, there is no strong defense business, there is no sharp city defense weapons, in the face of ordinary thieves, all need masters to sit in battle, if you meet those powerful legions, those who have high-ranking generals, then I can't imagine the consequences!

After thinking about it repeatedly, I issued several orders in succession, and from the 10,000 slave soldiers, 4,000 were drawn to continue to increase the height of the city wall, strengthen the city wall, and increase the height of the city wall by 40 meters again, and the total height reached a height of 60 meters.

And...... More than 60 meters high, it is difficult to have such a high ladder to be able to climb up, as for the rope of those thieves, I have also figured out a way to deal with it, and now ...... The mine produces too much iron ore every day, and all the excess iron ore is used for smelting, and then the outer city wall is wrapped with steel plates to form a veritable steel defense line, and at the same time, it ...... Sharp steel needles up to a meter long were embedded in the steel plates, so that I could see how these thieves could climb up!

At the same time, the design of the gatehouse, which I have cancelled, adopts a mosaic wall building, at the top of the wall, there will be no more passages for people to move, and the top of the wall will be made of sharp blades and spikes forged from steel, even if you climb to the top of the wall, it will be useless!

On the inside of the city wall, I relied on the city wall, and every 100 meters, built a huge staircase, the entire city wall, from a height of 20 meters, was built into a hollow style, and the defending soldiers were hidden in the high bunkers, through the set up shooting holes, to attack the enemy outside! On the whole, the whole city wall was simply a huge pillbox with countless shooting holes, or a formidable battleship.

Imagine that when the enemy comes to attack again, they will not be able to see a single person in the face of such a tall wall, and they will be faced with nothing more than magic and arrows spraying out tens of thousands of shooting holes that fill the entire wall at any time, and if they try to jump over the wall, then ...... Among the tens of thousands of shooting holes, tens of thousands of spears will be pierced out and stabbed them down one by one.

Looking at my blueprints, I was very satisfied, and for the time being, from a defensive point of view, it was enough, but it was just ...... It's just defense, that's obviously not my style, I'm a person who likes to take the initiative, and taking everything into my own hands is my favorite!

In the eyes lit up, four big characters appeared in my eyes, although I have not seen that thing, but whether it is on TV or in the movie, I have seen it too many times, the so-called giant crossbow to defend the city, is nothing more than a crossbow body forged from steel, and then use a winch, pull the crossbow string, shoot out a hard arrow forged from steel, the power is so strong, it is almost the same as a cannonball.

Although, I don't have much research on this aspect, but ...... The basic principle of the giant crossbow, I believe that everyone on the earth knows, is that people can draw a similar sketch, nothing more than a basic body, plus a huge crossbow arm, plus a strong crossbow string, and the guide groove of the crossbow arrow, and a simple shooting mechanism, very simple, the difference is nothing more than the size of the power.

As I designed, it was ...... soon The craftsmen of the blacksmith shop forged the various parts of the giant crossbow from the most elastic material according to my request, and after precise installation and commissioning, they finally ...... The huge city-defending giant crossbow with a bow arm spread up to three meters is out of the factory!

It's a pity that after testing, the so-called powerful giant crossbow defending the city is not as powerful as expected, the range only reaches 300 meters, and the power is not strong, and the crossbow arrow is shaking when flying!

However, I am not discouraged by this, everything is always difficult at the beginning, as long as I continue to study and improve, I believe ...... We will definitely be able to study the most powerful giant crossbow to defend the city, and at that time, I am afraid that the enemy who will attack will be in trouble!

Top dog!

Looking at the huge, rough, and clumsy city-defending giant crossbow in front of me, I was silently thinking about what was wrong when a shout rang out beside me.

When I turned my head suspiciously, I saw Alanx and the Blood Wolf looking at me with shining eyes, and looked at the two of them suspiciously, and I was puzzled...... What did you find?"

No...... No......

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Alanx explained, "Boss, I heard...... You asked Betty to form the White Tiger Thieves, is that the case?"

Kindness......

After listening to the words of the two of them, although this was a very secret matter, I didn't want to hide it from them, and replied frankly: "That's right, the gang of thieves who came to attack the city last time have been taken in by me, and now ...... They're already part of our bandar of thieves!"

Hey

Listening to my words, the blood wolf said, "Boss, listen to Betty, you are going to develop the White Tiger Thieves Legion into the largest thief corps in the Eastern Continent, is that so?"

Looking at Alanx suspiciously, and then at the blood wolf, I was puzzled and said, "That's right, I have this plan, what do you mean?"

Hey

After listening to my words, the two looked at each other, and then ...... The blood wolf laughed and said, "Boss, you can't be partial, we are also one of the five rookies, how can you only favor Betty and ignore us?"

Looking at the blood wolf with a wry smile, I spread my hands helplessly and said: "What do you think, everyone is a brother, just say it, if you can do it, will I refuse you?"

Hey

Looking at me embarrassedly, the blood wolf continued: "Boss, now you are super rich, I think...... Can you also invest some money in us, we also want to ......"

Kindness?

Looking at the blood wolf suspiciously, I guessed, "What......? Do you want to form a bandar of thieves too?"

No, no, no......

Alanx said awkwardly: "Boss, you also know that I used to be the commander of the Night Legion, so you see...... Can you, this ...... Invest some money, let me also see a legion to play?"

Yeah......

As soon as Alanx's words fell, the blood wolf said, "That's right, boss, I also want to have another mercenary group to play, hehe...... The boss is so rich, sponsor it!"

this

Looking at the two guys with expectant faces, I couldn't help but be stunned, ***...... I haven't even noticed these two talents, and if these two guys are allowed to go out and get a team, then ...... Aren't there four military forces under my covert control?

Seeing that I fell silent, the two of them probably thought that I didn't want to invest anymore, and the next moment ...... Alanx said: "Boss, this money will never be let you spend in vain, since you invested, then my legion is naturally the boss, I just thought about being an official!"

Looking at Alanx's nostalgic expression, I knew...... After being the regiment commander for so long, he has become accustomed to that kind of life, and the current life does not make him feel satisfied, only leading the army will make him have a sense of existence and make him really excited.

After pondering, Alanx continued: "Boss, as long as there are sufficient funds, then I will immediately go to the Night Clan, recruit some old subordinates, and form our own Night Legion in Phantom City...... The city guarded by the Night Legion will never fall!"

Nodding his head definitely, I looked at Alanx excitedly and said, "Well, in that case, I have no reason to refuse you, just say it...... How much does it cost!"

This......

Alanx hesitated for a moment, and then said helplessly: "I don't know how much it costs, I don't know about this, it depends on how big a legion we want to build, basically, for every shooter, we have to pay a settlement fee of one hundred gold coins in advance, and then ...... You also have to pay a lot of wages every month!"

Listening to Alanx's words, I couldn't help but calculate, if according to the combat establishment of 10,000, then just the cost of settling in, you will get 1 million gold coins, and each soldier will have a salary of 10 gold coins per month, then the salary payment per month will be 100,000 gold coins!

Thinking about this, I nodded categorically, for the stability and unity of the Phantom City, this money is worth spending, after all...... The Night Shooters are world-famous, they are the longest-range strong archers, and they are extremely accurate, with such a force, then our Phantom City is really impregnable!

Thinking of this, I raised my head suddenly, looked at Alanx with a smile and said, "Okay, I'll give you 10,000 gold coins as start-up capital first, and according to your wishes, go and form a 10,000-strong Night Army."

Hearing my words, Alanx was stunned, but soon ...... This guy's eyes lit up excitedly, and he grabbed my hand excitedly and said, "Old ...... Boss, are you telling the truth? Formation...... Raise an army of 10,000 people! Oh my God! I just wanted to form a 1,000-man army!"

Smiling and nodding, holding Alanx's hand tightly, I nodded and said: "If it were someone else, I'm afraid I wouldn't even agree to him with the Hundred Legion, but you are different, you are my partner, my brother, as long as I can do it, how can I refuse?"

"Hehe......" Hearing my words, Alanx couldn't help but smirk.

But!

Looking at the smirkling Alanx, I suddenly became serious, and said seriously: "Since you want to do it, then you must do your best, whether it is the selection of soldiers or the training in peacetime, you must be militarized, regularized, select the best soldiers, and conduct the most thorough training, I don't ask you to become the largest legion in the Eastern Continent, I only have one request, that is, to become the strongest! Become the sharpest and strongest legion in the Eastern Continent!"

Hearing my words, Alanx's eyes flashed violently, and he said solemnly: "Don't worry, boss, I, the leader of the Dark Night Legion, am not in vain, the Dark Night Legion I led back then is now almost retired, from more than 100,000 soldiers, select the most elite to join our legion, that is worthy of the name of one in a thousand, I can assure you very responsibly, the 10,000 people I selected will be the most elite existence of the Night Clan!"

Hey

Listening to Alanx's words, I couldn't help but laugh happily, I absolutely believe in his words, after all...... He used to be the leader of the Night Legion of the Night Clan, who knows better than him which soldiers are elite and which soldiers are garbage?

Seeing that I finally fully agreed, Alanx looked at me excitedly and said happily: "Boss, thank you so much, but ...... Our legion probably can't be called the Night Legion anymore, you see, what should our new legion be called?"

This one......

He looked at Alanx hesitantly, and the next moment...... My eyes couldn't help but light up, and he smiled: "Since this army is composed of wind attribute night elves, then, let's call it Qinglong Hall, and externally, let's call ourselves the Qinglong Army!"

Listening to my words, Alanx's eyes couldn't help but light up, looking at me excitedly, Alanx said excitedly: "Thank you boss, please rest assured, I will definitely form the Blue Dragon Legion as soon as possible to ensure that the boss's reputation will not be weakened!"

Top dog!

Seeing the success of Alanx's successful negotiation, on the other side, the blood wolf couldn't help but get anxious, looking at me eagerly, and the blood wolf said with a bitter face: "Boss, Betty and Alanx have something to do, what about me?"

You?

Pretending to be puzzled, I looked at the blood wolf, and I was puzzled: "What's wrong with you?

Hey

Hearing the other words, the blood wolf couldn't help but laugh awkwardly, and while laughing, he said: "Boss, Betty and Alanx have something to do, now I'm idle alone, I want to form a mercenary group to play, hehe...... After all, I used to be the boss of seven wolves!"

Play!

Looking at the blood wolf in amazement, I screamed in disbelief: "Could it be ...... Do you think we're all playing? Please...... We call it ideals, that call ambitions, okay? Do you think we're playing at home?"

dizzy

Hearing my words, the blood wolf slapped his head violently and said with a smile; It's my mistake boss.,I'm not trying to play.,I mean the boss should understand.,For the mood of building a mercenary group,I want to ...... I'm no different from Alanx and Betty!"

Listening to the blood wolf's words, I couldn't help but nod slightly, and continued: "Okay, I believe you made a mistake, but...... I'd like to hear your thoughts and know ...... Although I have some money, but this money is all exchanged for blood and sweat by the people of Phantom City, if you want me to invest, you can invest, but there has to be an explanation!"

Listening to my words, the blood wolf glanced at me with admiration, and continued to speak: "I know this, the boss is definitely not the kind of outburst, let alone a loser, although the money is very generous, but it is spent in key places, when it is time to spend money, the boss is absolutely not stingy, when it should not be spent, it is a penny to be taken care of, at this point, from your attitude towards the four girls of the new moon Rumei, I have already felt it." ”

Speaking of this, the blood wolf paused slightly, and after thinking for a while, he continued: "The formation of this mercenary group, firstly, I like that kind of life, on the other hand, from the perspective of interests, the goods transported by Phantom City to other cities will be undertaken by our mercenary group for free in the future, in this way, basically we only need to spend the formation fee, as long as the mercenary group is established, we can start making profits immediately, at this point, the boss should have a number!"

En'en'......

Listening to the words of the blood wolf, I couldn't help but nod my head again and again, ***...... Recently, too much money has been spent on mercenary groups, because there are too many thieves, every shipment of goods is shipped out, 20% of the profit will be lost as escort waste, if I have my own mercenary group, isn't this cost saved?

Thinking of this, I looked at the blood wolf excitedly, and when I was about to say yes, the blood wolf continued: "And don't forget, boss, once the Phantom City is attacked by the enemy again, then we can stand up and help the Phantom City retreat from the enemy, after all, ...... Although the mercenary group is managed by me on a daily basis, since it was built at the expense of the boss, then this mercenary group naturally belongs to the boss!"

Very good!

Looking at the blood wolf excitedly, I smiled and replied, "I don't need to say any more, it's enough, let's talk about it...... How much does it cost?"

Hearing my words, the blood wolf couldn't help but hesitate, looked at me with a wry smile, and the blood wolf shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said: "It depends on how big the mercenary group you want to build, the big one, the more money you naturally need!"

Listening to the words of the blood wolf, I couldn't help but think for a while, and then ...... I said categorically to the blood wolf: "In terms of scale, I don't have any restrictions, it's exactly according to your wishes, you can develop as much as you want, as long as you can manage it, I won't stop it!"

Speaking of this, I paused slightly, and after thinking for a while, I said to the blood wolf: "That's it, don't say I'm biased, since I gave Alanx two million gold coins, then it's the same for you, what do you think?"

Hey

Hearing my words, the blood wolf couldn't help but smirk, and while laughing, the blood wolf hugged his fists and said loudly: "Thank you boss, don't worry, I will definitely make you proud of me, but...... Since you've named Alanx's legion, let's name our mercenary group as well!"

Listening to the words of the blood wolf, I couldn't help but be slightly stunned for a moment, and then, my brain was running quickly, since Betty's thief legion is named after the White Tiger, and Alanx's legion is named after the Green Dragon, then this legion must also be named after my four phantom beasts.

Now, the green dragon and the white tiger have been occupied, and the only ones left are Suzaku and Xuanwu, and now ...... The Phantom Beast Legion of the Lost City, since it is completely formed by the Phantom Beast Envoy of the Fire Attribute, then it is natural that the Vermilion Bird Knights will be their only name, and the next ...... The mercenary group of the blood wolf can only be called Xuanwu!

But think about it, the purpose of the existence of this mercenary group is nothing more than to defend against foreign enemies and protect goods, and the characteristics are almost exactly the same as Xuanwu, characterized by protection!

Thinking of this, I raised my head sharply and said firmly to the blood wolf: "I think about it, your mercenary group is called Xuanwu Hall, and to the outside world, you can call yourself the Xuanwu mercenary group!"
