Section 696 Crabs
"Big brother, let's follow you in the future!"
"Follow you to fight the world, bring energy!"
"Yes, you will be our boss in the future, you can do whatever you want!"
Since that night, the young lady and the little sister who originally followed the Queen of Road Tyrant have asked to join Chen Xing's expeditionary force.
Although these bikers are all marginal figures in the family, they are also the children of powerful people who have received an aristocratic education since childhood. As the saying goes, there are three more nails in a rotten ship, and emaciated camels are bigger than horses, but their abilities are still much stronger than ordinary people.
This is also the reason why Ye Yang Qingyan will integrate this force, not simply as a hobby for drag racing, but also for the consideration of interests.
What Chen Xing lacks most now is manpower, and naturally those who come will not refuse, not to mention that although these people seem cynical and unreliable, their physical fitness and combat effectiveness are there, as long as they are well trained, they are a powerful force.
Subsequently, Chen Xing, at the suggestion of Ye Yang Qingyan, formed a motorized rapid combat unit based on these people.
The entire crew of this unit flew cruise locomotives and used excellent maneuverability to cut into the battlefield and carry out raids, support and other tasks. As for the investigation of such a major matter related to the life and death of the legion, Chen Xing still handed it over to the master group to deal with. These second-rate people are too prodigal to carry out too important tasks.
After that, it was calm for a while.
The expeditionary force has begun to take shape, but it is only beginning to take shape, and when the network resources at hand are exhausted, it is becoming more and more difficult to recruit later.
At present, the main composition of the expeditionary force is the regular combat troops of the original Beiqiao Regiment, the remaining personnel of the Thunder Light Regiment and the Master Regiment, the military police drawn from the Gray Horn City family troops, the troops of more than a dozen northern wilderness edge towns that have friendships with the Hanging Skull Alliance, the troops extorted from the magnates of Monitor Lizard City, and the motorcycle party led by Ye Yang Qingyan.
The total number of troops is less than 20,000, and it is only the first step towards the establishment of 100,000 people in the expeditionary force.
But the second step is that it is difficult and difficult.
The Monitor Lizard City is lined with mountains, and it has formed a fixed circle for thousands of years, and it is not something that an outsider can easily pry.
Unless it is a king-level powerhouse like Aliya, who is strong enough to ignore most of the social rules, he will be reduced by ten to break the game with his strength.
Obviously, Chen Xing did not have this ability, and it was impossible for Aliya to completely ignore the feelings of the other subordinates and forcibly ask them to cooperate with Chen Xing. If you really want to do this, it will be to forcibly put the mud on the wall, which will not only cause widespread dissatisfaction, but also make Chen Xing's follow-up work more difficult, which can be said to be meaningless.
Just as Chen Xing was thinking about the next step in recruitment, in a side hall of the Red Fort of Monitor Lizard City, the princess of Allure was gathering with her eldest brother, Gavin Maris, the first heir to the Red Dragon Principality. Also attending the party were several young talents who had considerable fame in the aristocratic circles of the Northern Alliance, including Ricardo, the "eagle owl on the dragon's shoulder".
"I have to say that this mercenary-born country nobleman is really surprising. In such an environment, it is really impossible to underestimate that 20,000 people can be deceived by cheating. ”
"But that's where his limit goes, and if he goes any further, he probably won't even be able to recruit anyone."
"You know, the sky of monitor lizard city always belongs to the red dragon."
A young nobleman raised his glass and talked eloquently. The tone was frivolous, and between the words, he was very disdainful of the rising star of the expeditionary commander.
"I always felt that a group of male lions bullying a little hamster was a bit of a fuss." Gavin Marris's expression was a little lazy and casual, and he didn't seem to be in high spirits.
"I don't know why, this guy reminds me of a crab that has been run over by a wheel." A young aristocrat quipped.
"It must be a freshwater lake crab in the fall." Another young nobleman added, causing a burst of sneer.
Autumn is the reproductive period for crabs, and a lot of "crab paste" will accumulate in the body. Once crushed, it will flow red, yellow, white and green.
"Gentlemen, now is not the time to relax!" Lacey said in a cold tone, "As long as he doesn't get out of our sight for a day, there can't be the slightest negligence." ”
"Only his body is the safest." She concluded.
The young talents kept their mouths shut, and only the least eyed would disagree with the princess to her face.
In terms of talent and strength, Lacey Maris deserves to be the leader of the younger generation of Ambergris. At a young age, he was promoted to the Holy Domain, and was favored by the secondary pseudo-god Manticor, and he had extremely high military talent, power and strategy, and was proficient in everything.
Coupled with her alluring appearance, ordinary men dare not speak when they see her.
But one of the people in the room ignored all this.
"My dear sister, how did you become so timid." Gavin Maris mocked, "Now you're like a little girl who is frightened by cockroaches." ”
"Gavin Marris, I don't want to argue with you right now." Lacey said with a cold face, "Please remember, that is our common enemy. "The common enemy of the Maris family." ”
"Good......" Garvin Maris shrugged in afoul, "listen to you, my dear sister. ”
"But......" the Red Dragon Prince paused, "I really can't think of anything else that person can do." ”
"There is no way that there will be any nobles in the country to respond to him, and we have reached an agreement with the Grayhorn City family not to send more soldiers."
"And the budget for the expeditionary force's military expenses is not enough for him to hire an outside mercenary group."
"It seems to me that he is at his end of the road." Gavin Marris said, then he turned back to Ricardo, "Am I right, my dearest friend?" ”
All eyes were on the young military genius. If there is anything else to think about here besides Lacey, it is him.
Ricardo put down his glass, thought seriously for a moment, and said, "I think so too. Unless there is a miracle, I can't think of any other way for him to conjure the remaining 80,000 people. ”
"Even if it were me, in his environment, I would be helpless."
Lacey nodded and admitted, "That's true, even if it were me, I wouldn't be able to think of a solution." ”
"Isn't that right?" Gavin Maris put one hand on Lacey's shoulder and the other on Ricardo's, "Even the two smartest and wisest geniuses in our monitor lizard city can't think of a way, what kind of waves can a mercenary-turned-country nobleman make?" ”
He smiled slightly, "As far as I know, crabs can't swim. ”
"Hahaha!"
Gavin Marris's words enlivened the scene again, bursting with laughter.
At this time, Chen Xing was still thinking sadly in the military tent in Beiqiao Town.
The current environment is that the nobles of the Red Dragon Principality seem to have reached some kind of agreement to avoid him.
Conscription through conventional means, and no one came to conscript, the situation was very difficult.
If a team can't recruit people, the expeditionary force becomes a joke. With 20,000 men alone, there is not even a decent battle.
"Lord Commander, there is a group of mercenaries outside asking to see you."
In the midst of his thoughts, the herald came in to report.
"Let them in."
Chen Xing put away his thoughts and met with the visitor. This kind of thing, it's useless to be in a hurry, you can only take your time and find a solution.
If you can't do it, you can only stand by and wait for the opportunity to arise.
"My lord, do you remember me?" A mercenary in his thirties walked in and held out his hand with a smile on his face.
"Wu Erxiong!"
Chen Xing's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward to hold the other party's hand. This Wu Erxiong is the mercenary of the Red Kingdom that he met when he was adventuring on the goddess plane of the Green Continent, the leader of the bear huddle, and his hometown is near the Stinky Water Lake.
"I heard that the adults were the commanders, so I was cheeky and brought my brothers over to beg for food, hoping that the adults would not dislike us." Wu Erxiong said with a smile.
"Great!" was worried about no one, and suddenly an old friend came to defect, which made Chen Xing unhappy.
"I also brought a friend with me." Wu Erxiong whistled, and a silly-looking mercenary in his thirties ran in.
"Zeng Daming!"
Chen Xing called out the other party's name for the first time, and he was also a person he knew on the goddess plane of the Green Continent.
"Hey, hey, it's me!" Zeng Daming touched his head and said, "After I left last time, I got in touch with Erxiong, and we often drank together when we had nothing to do. That day, I learned in the news that you were the commander-in-chief, and as soon as we put it together, we wanted to come and join you. ”
Zeng Daming rubbed his hands, "If the boss doesn't dislike it, bring a few brothers." ”
"Where is this, you can come, I can't be happy in my heart!" Chen Xing grabbed Zeng Daming's shoulders hard, feeling a little excited. They just met in Pingshui, but they didn't expect that the other party would always remember him and come to defect at every opportunity.
Just then, the herald ran in again.
"Lord Commander, there is a person outside who claims to be a veteran of the Hexi Regiment and asks to see him."
A wave has not settled, and another wave has risen.
"Hexi Regiment veteran?" Chen Xing frowned slightly, he didn't have a very good impression of the Hexi Regiment, but the other party claimed to be a veteran, obviously not the head of the Hexi Regiment.
"Invite him in."
It didn't take long for a thin middle-aged mercenary to lift the curtain and walk in. He was hunched on his back, and he was about forty or fifty years old.
"It's you!" Chen Xing was surprised.
He knew this mercenary, it was the logistics soldier of the Hexi Regiment that he met on the way to support Tienuo.
"Your Excellency, you remember me!" The veteran was both happy and a little surprised, "I didn't expect the adults to remember me, I was just a small person, I thought the adults had forgotten it a long time ago." ”
"Don't say that, we probably wouldn't have been able to find our teammates without your guidance." Chen Xing said.
Speaking of the old man, the veteran's expression was a little gloomy, "We have all heard about the matter of Commander Tienuo......"
"Our Hexi regiment is also finished, the regiment commander is dead, the deputy regiment commander is also dead, and only us veterans are left."
"We discussed it, and we have nowhere to go anyway, so we just came to you."
"As long as the adults don't dislike it, our old lives are yours!"
"Welcome, very welcome!" Chen Xing shook the veteran's hand vigorously, "Don't go anywhere in the future, just follow me to fight the world!" ”
"Great!"
"Xiao Yang, Xiao Yang!" Chen Xing shouted outside, and Xiao Yang immediately ran in, and came to him in three steps and two steps, "Boss, what's the matter?" ”
"You take them down to rest, change into new clothes, and have dinner together tonight."
"I'll do it right away!"
As soon as Xiao Yang ran to the door, he suddenly remembered the rapid alarm outside.
"Attention units, attention units! There are a huge number of unknown forces approaching, there are a huge number of unknown forces approaching! ”
"All units are in place right away, all units are in place right away!"
"What's going on!" "What's going on!"
Chen Xing rushed out of the military tent and was stunned at first sight.
Thousands of floating boats flew in the sky, densely packed, like a swarm of bees.
Smoke and dust billowed on the ground, stretching for dozens of kilometers, and the roar of vehicles swept the sky.
It was ferocious, as if it was going to be an earth-shattering battle.
As time passed, a fluttering flag appeared in sight, and it turned out to be a mercenary group.
Big and small, too many to count!
"Wild Sand Mercenary Group, come and meet!"
"Flaming Iron Wolf, come and see you!"
"Turkey Regiment, come and see you!"
"South Hillside Battle Regiment, come and meet!"
"Iron Gyro Squad, come and see you!"
