The next day, Xiao Ke and his entourage left Bai Zecheng and returned to the Iron Wheel Base.

Now Xiao Ke's position in the Bai Ze Council is very strange, he is one of the six overlords of Bai Ze, but under normal circumstances, the top six members of Bai Ze want to station all their private armed forces in Bai Ze City, and serve as the defense and order of Bai Ze City together.

But Chu Xiong didn't know if he had forgotten or what, and he didn't ask Xiao Ke to drive the steel battle group into Bai Ze City.

As Qin Bing said, although Xiao Ke had already made a lot of wages and gave the cake to Bai Ze's members, what he got in exchange was only a false rapport.

However, Xiao Ke is not in a hurry, as before, he will first focus on the four towns and canyon mines in Nanjun, and then operate this place as an iron pass.

However, as soon as Xiao Ke and the others returned to the steel headquarters base, they immediately got good news, and it turned out that the reward for counterinsurgency had fallen.

Some time ago, His Majesty's angel sent the news of canonizing Xiao Ke as the Marquis of Cen, which was just His Majesty's personal reward for Xiao Ke. And now it is His Majesty's reward for the entire Iron Warband.

First of all, the Steel Warband was fully affirmed and allowed to expand to an intermediate warband with a size of 30,000 people.

Then, Ling Feng and Ye Yun were both made marquis, Ling Feng was named the Marquis of Bravery, and Ye Yun was named the Marquis of Yingwu, both of whom were ninth-rank marquis like Xiao Ke. But unlike Xiao Ke, Xiao Ke has a fief and 300 households, while Ling Feng and Ye Yun only have titles and no euphemia.

But this is also a symbol of identity, Ye Yun's real identity is the eldest lady of Ye Valve, the dignified eldest lady was made a marquis by His Majesty, I don't know whether to be happy or to smile bitterly, she knows that the higher her rank is the marquis, and if her identity is not revealed in the future, the bigger the joke will be brought to her family.

Therefore, Ye Yun was sealed at this time, and his mood was complicated.

But Ling Feng is different, although Ling Feng is from the Shangpin Shi clan, but because he is a concubine, he is not treated well in the family at all, and there is no status to see, he chose to join the imperial camp, and he has already received the spurning of the Shangpin Shi clan, and now that he has finally seen the report, the excitement and joy in his heart are really indescribable.

What man doesn't want to worship the marquis?

The rest of Qin Bing, Lin Hao and others were also rewarded, and Wei Qing and Lin Hao were officially recognized by the empire and appointed as commanders, which can be regarded as having real identities.

As for Xiao Feng and the group of auxiliaries of the 3,000 battalion, they were also notified and officially arranged for them to join Xiao Ke's steel battle group.

The rest of the soldiers were rewarded according to their performance in the counterinsurgency.

In the past, the rewards of the imperial family came very slowly, sometimes for months, sometimes for half a year, and the rewards did not fall, and after they fell, they would be deducted layer by layer.

But Xiao Ke, Ling Feng, and Ye Yun are all protégés of the Son of Heaven, especially Xiao Ke, who is a new force that His Majesty Jiang Ning has planned to carefully support in recent years, so the reward of the Wheel of Steel this time came very quickly.

The eunuchs who issued the decree were followed by several giant royal transport airships, and at this time, a large number of rewards and materials were brought down from each airship.

In addition to the reward, His Majesty Jiang Ning also sent Xiao Ke the equipment and weapons of 10,000 warriors, which was convenient for Xiao Ke to expand the scale of the steel wheel.

Ordinary soldiers care a lot about the reward of money, but for Xiao Ke, Ling Feng, Ye Yun, Qin Bing and others, they care more about other things, such as the Spring of the Force, which money sometimes can't buy.

Your Majesty is also a rare generous time this time, and the rewards given to Xiao Ke, Ling Feng, Ye Yun, Qin Bing and others are mainly based on the Fountain of the Force.

Xiao Ke gathered all these fountains of the Force and gave them to Ling Feng and Ye Yun respectively, allowing them to break through their strength.

Within two days, Ling Feng and Ye Yun used all the Force Springs that His Majesty had rewarded the Wheel of Steel this time, and in exchange for the results, Ling Feng and Ye Yun had broken through from level 9 to level 10.

Since then, the wheel of steel has four 10-level powerhouses such as Xiao Ke, Qin Bing, Ling Feng, and Ye Yun, as well as four level 9 powerhouses of Lin Hao, Wei Qing, Yin Changfeng and Xiao Feng, as well as more than 15,000 steel warriors such as the Qinglong Battalion, the White Tiger Battalion, the Vermilion Bird Battalion, the Xuanwu Battalion and the Three Thousand Battalion.

……

The Land of the Dead, the Fallen Area of Humanity, and the Paradise of the Grim Reaper.

Kui Niu City, one of the five major cities in the occupied area, where the zombie civilization has been initially formed, although there are many low-level zombies wandering on the streets. But there are workshops in operation in the city, and the workshops are basically iron and iron training factories.

At this time, Qiao Zi'an followed the shadow, as well as more than a hundred of the Qiao family's dead guards, followed a zombie lord named "Poison", and walked in Kuiniu City, which was full of zombies.

The low-level zombies wandering around, smelling the smell of human flesh and blood of Qiao Zi'an and his party, all of them were like flies that smelled fishy, and gathered one after another, the dense sea of zombies, stretched out their rotten arms one by one, opened their mouths full of green venom, and grinned at Qiao Zi'an and the others, and there was a sound in their throats, obviously they couldn't hold back their desire for human flesh and blood, and wanted to attack and bite Qiao Zi'an's group of humans.

However, these zombies did not dare to step within three meters of Qiao Zi'an and his party.

It's not that the zombies are afraid of Qiao Zi'an and the others, but because of the poison of the zombie female lord who led Qiao Zi'an, with her nails as sharp as a knife blade, and a blood-like red tear mole under the corner of her left eye.

The Poison Lord invisibly exudes a strong will, and the zombies can communicate with her will, so even if the zombies don't speak to each other, they can communicate with their will invisibly.

The will of the poison is not to touch these humans, and not to step within three meters of this group of humans.

Zombies must abide by the will of high-level zombies, otherwise, they will be killed and devoured by high-grade zombies in an instant, in the zombie world, zombies devouring their own kind, can also improve their strength.

However, if it is a zombie that simply absorbs human blood, especially high-quality human blood, the appearance is often very powerful or very aesthetic, if it is a zombie that gnaws on ordinary human flesh and blood, or devours the same kind to improve its strength, although the strength is very strong, but this kind of zombie is often extremely ugly, and even strange.

Qiao Zi'an looked at the smoking exercise workshop in the distance, and asked the poison lord in shock: "You guys have a workshop here?" ”

The poison lord glanced at Qiao Zi'an: "Otherwise, what do you think, how did those black crystal ores and iron that were traded with you humans come from?" ”

Qiao Zi'an was a little unacceptable: "You zombies are already able to work in the workshop?" ”

Poison Lord: "Actually, we mainly rely on your human captives to work, so there are workshops, and we can also produce black crystal ore, but we still trade with you mainly ore." ”

Qiao Zi'an was relieved, it turned out that it was a human being captured by zombies working in the workshop, but zombies now know how to enslave human work, which is also very shocking.

Qiao Zi'an heard that in the zombie country, high-level zombies, such as lords or tyrants, will raise humans like livestock, just like a ranch, and bled people from time to time for them to drink, and when they are happy, they even kill a few captive humans to celebrate.

Sounds creepy.
