"I want money......" Iron Slag thought for a long time, and finally said this sentence.

Lena was stunned for a moment, then her black jade eyes slid back and forth in her slender eyes. She looked left, right, up, and down, looking at the young man in front of her with interest.

It was as if time had gone back to the day they first met, and that's how she looked at him with his bag full of explosives. It's just that there was more solemnity that day, and there is more ambiguity today.

Iron Slag couldn't stand such a star, got up and said, "I'm leaving." ”

"My sister has 2,786 gold, is it enough?" Lena took his hand and asked softly.

The market price of Wilderness Heavy Industries' Sand Sea Flying Fish is 680 gold, and Harley's Burning Eagle and RC's Kamikaze Warrior cost at least 2,000 gold. Lena's money was enough, but there was no way the iron slag could take it all.

"Lend me 500 gold." Iron Slag said dryly.

Lena took out a gold card from the pocket of her jacket, put it in the palm of Iron Slag's hand, and said, "There are 2,500 gold here." ”

"I want to go sand worm hunting, it's breeding season, and I should be able to find a lot of sand worm eggs." Iron Slag put away the gold card and said.

"Yo~ In order to soak the goddess official, I went out~" Lena said with a smile. Helpless, Tie Slag had to make the ins and outs of the matter clear to her, so as not to cause her misunderstanding again.

After listening to the iron slag's narration, Lena thought for a while, and then analyzed the situation.

The Sand Sea Flying Fish can be bought back directly, but the RC company is not in the Northern Wilderness Continent, so it can only consider Harley Industries, and the Fire Eagle locomotive needs to be customized, and it can only be picked up after three months. Lena has a Wilderness Heavy Industries "Lightning Leopard", and she asks the Iron Slag to drive back and scan Alice to see if she can replace it.

The Lightning Leopard is much more advanced than the Sand Sea Flying Fish, but Iron Slag is reluctant to accept this suggestion. This lightning leopard is Lena's car, and if something happens, no locomotive is equivalent to losing half a life.

Iron Slag's plan is to try his luck in the Endless Sand Sea, then go to Sand City to buy a car, and finally rush back to Iron Mountain Town before winter arrives.

"This time, you take Lao Niu and Lao Di with you, and I will send someone to help you look after your house." Lena said seriously.

Lao Niu usually has to guard the repair shop and the stronghold of iron slag, so he rarely goes out. Lao Di is Lina's all-round assistant, and he usually doesn't leave Iron Mountain Town. Don't look at Lao Di as thin as he looks, in fact, he is also a traditional evolutionary, but his level of evolution is the lowest among all people. According to the general algorithm of the Northern Wilderness Continent, he only has 16% evolution.

The way in which the degree of evolution is calculated comes mainly from a man named Alexander Lattimore two hundred years ago. At the time, Alexander was recognized as the strongest traditional evolutionary in the world, so this calculation was based on him. 16% means 16% of Alexander's combined ability.

Of course, traditional evolutionaries have different abilities, with Iron Slag and Lena leaning towards agile evolutionaries and Lao Di leaning towards perceptual evolutionaries. Lao Niu is an outlier, and he can't be said to be a tendency, he can only be said to be a complete power-type evolutionary.

Lina's arrangement is based on the fact that Lao Di is more stable, not easy to be impulsive, and has a strong early warning ability. He can do a good job of reconnaissance for the iron slag, and he can come up with some bad ideas if necessary. Lao Niu is the best candidate for logistics, loyal and reliable.

Iron Slag didn't agree with Lina's plan, he thought that Lao Niu was better, Lao Di was just a drag oil bottle, in short, it was inconvenient to take both of them.

"Okay...... I understand. Lena said. Iron Slag just wanted to nod, but heard her continue, "Sister will accompany you to ...... in person"

"Well, I'll take the old flute, and I'll have twenty more guards, two Tiger mechs, and four Rattlesnake sand buggies. Forget about the old cow, his speed is really too slow. Iron Slag said sincerely.

"You ......"

The iron slag suddenly started with a lion, and Lena was stunned for a while, then came back to her senses, hugged him fiercely, gritted her teeth and said, "It's getting worse and worse now, and I know that I'm going to set my sister." With so many people, what do you want to do, do you want to fight? ”

"There are thousands of people in the garrison, and I only need twenty." Iron Slag argued.

"There are only five Tiger mechs in the entire garrison, what do you want to do? Be honest! "Two coyotes will do......" "No!" "Two hyenas."

"What do you want to do?" Lena asked, increasing the strength of the bear hug.

"I want to hunt the golden sandworms...... Iron Slag said.

"Golden sandworms?" "Hmm." "The Sand Sea Storm Insect King?" "Uh-huh......" "No!" "Huh?" "It's too dangerous!"

"If you don't give it to someone, I'll go myself." Iron slag threatened. He knew that if he said that, Lena would definitely compromise. Indeed, Lena quickly let him go, then found paper and a pen, and began to calculate the costs of personnel, ammunition, vehicles, and equipment.

Once the math was done, Lena showed him the list.

The market price of the wolf mecha (commonly known as coyote) is about 850 gold, the fuel and maintenance fee for the expedition is about 20 gold, and the pension for the mecha pilot is about 360 gold.

The market price of the Viper Sand Truck (commonly known as the Rattlesnake) is about 160 gold, the fuel and maintenance fee for the expedition is about 2 gold, and the pension of the sand truck driver is about 180 gold.

The garrison members of the Autonomous Council have about 30 gold for their full equipment and about 150 gold for their pensions.

In addition to the above items, there are also ammunition, medical care, and food below......

"Assuming the whole army is wiped out, we don't have enough money to fill this hole." Lena analyzed.

"It is said that a golden sandworm egg is worth thousands of gold."

"Well, I saw one at an auction in Sand City, and it sold for more than 3,800 gold." Lena said.

When Tie Slag heard more than 3,800 gold, he immediately looked at Lena with bright eyes, and then said in a different tone, "Sister, I want a tiger mecha." ”

"It's so bad~" Lena grabbed the iron slag's hair, then pushed him, and said with a straight face, "I know how to pretend to be pitiful." ”

Iron Slag grinned, and then said a few nice words. He can't do the coquettish and cute thing, but it's okay to put down the bully of Iron Mountain Town and pretend to be pitiful with his eyes a little. In the end, Lena promised to give him twenty heavily armed garrisons, two wolf mechs, four Viper sandmobiles, and related drivers, for a total of twenty-six.

Lena explained to Iron Slag that there were two reasons for not giving him the Tiger Mech. First, the Tiger mecha has a record in Sand City, and if it is damaged, it cannot be replaced by an outside mecha; The second is that the market price of the Tiger mecha is too high, and even if a replacement can be found, the price is not expensive.

"If you are really in danger, you and Lao Di can just escape back." Lena lowered her voice and said close to the iron slag. She had prepared for the worst, assuming that the team was wiped out and the mechs and vehicles were destroyed, it would cost about 7,000 gold to fill the hole. She can sell the relic her mother left her, a fairy stone ring. The reserve price of this ring at auction is between 8,000 and 12,000 gold, and the price can be high and low, and it is said to fluctuate between 8,000 and 20,000 gold.

It's just that when this ring is auctioned, my father may be very sad......

After making arrangements, the iron slag took a detour back to the repair shop. Lena then summoned Lao Di to the office and discussed with him the selection of his entourage. Among the more than 1,000 garrison members of the Autonomous Council, there are also descendants and collateral members. The so-called lineage is the people that Lena brought from Sand City, or those who later served her and went through the trials. These people are all people who can be born and die and rebel together under the order of Lina. And the side system is the person with limited loyalty, or limited ability, or people from other factions in Sand City or the local area.

The question discussed by Lena and Lao Di is whether the candidates this time should be selected from the lineage or from the side line, and if they are selected from the side line, from which wave of people will they be selected. There are about eighty members of Lena's lineage, and the rest are considered sideline.

If you send people from the lineage, the safety factor of the iron slag and the old flute will be relatively higher. However, in the event of an accident, the descendants cannot be easily abandoned, and the loss of more than twenty descendants is equivalent to cutting off one of her arms. These descendants are all low-ranking officers in the garrison, which increases Lena's control over the garrison. The loss of more than 20 descendants means the loss of de facto control over a part of the garrison.

Lao Di proposed to send descendants to restrain their hands, and if something really happened, the risk factor would rise sharply because they couldn't let go of each other. Iron slag is strong in combat, and its escape ability is first-class, so there is basically no danger. In addition, Iron Slag is notorious, and even if he sends side personnel, no one will dare to resist his orders. After all, when you reach the endless sand sea, your life will be in danger at any time. In this case, the inherent relationship between superiors and subordinates will become blurred, and the most useful thing at this time is to see who has a hard fist and who has a high prestige.

In the end, Lao Di suggested that the entourage choose one or two from each of the factions in the side to disrupt the inherent factions of these people. After entering the sea of sand, they speak with their fists, and those who do not obey are immediately executed. As for the pilot of the mecha, he can only use the person of the lineage, which is the highest symbol of force in the army, and cannot fall into the hands of others. For the rest of the sand bike drivers, choose people who are honest and have average ability, no matter what side faction they are.

At the end of the discussion (in fact, Lao Di was talking alone), Lena felt that Lao Di's plan was good, so she let him implement it.

As soon as Lao Di came out of the office, he went straight to the camp of the garrison of the Iron Mountain Town Autonomous Association, and began to look through the list of garrison members.

Although Iron Mountain is small, it has a population of more than one million, which is equivalent to a small city. Therefore, the garrison of Iron Mountain Town also has a scale of more than 1,000 people. Lao Di is nominally the vice captain of the garrison, but in fact he is the real power captain of the garrison.

Under normal circumstances, the Sandtown side will send two sheriffs to Tieshan Town to manage, the main sergeant is also the chairman of the autonomous association, and the deputy sergeant is also the captain of the garrison.

However, the deputy sergeant who came to serve with Lena back then was an honest man who was nearly fifty years old. He didn't have much ambition in the first place, and because he was old, he had long lost his ambitions. Moreover, when he saw Lena's iron wrist, he had no idea. In the past three years, he has basically retreated into the background and rarely managed things. Now he sits in the office on the second floor of the autonomous association every day, drinking tea and reading newspapers, or being a good man, playing round games everywhere, and is basically in a semi-retired state.

As for the other office on the second floor of the Autonomous Council, the former Knife and Tooth Society, and now the Black Tooth Society, it is a representative of the local rogue forces.

Lena, the sheriff of Iron Mountain, would never have allowed such an organization to exist. But there are too many chaotic people and things in Iron Mountain Town, so she can only take this kind of counter-violence measures.

Everywhere, there are people who are both strong and unruly. These people cannot be absorbed into the regular army and are difficult to control. The simplest and most brutal way to deal with these people is to set up some organizations like the Black Fang Society and the Ghost Horn Society, and then absorb them and manage them in a unified manner. It can not only throw bones for them to eat dogs, but also use the regular army to exterminate them at once, which is quite convenient to manage.

For three years, Lena has used this simple and crude way to manage Iron Mountain Town in an orderly manner.

During this period, the only accident was that Daoya actually asked Lina to be his girlfriend. Lena thought about this matter for several days but didn't understand why Knife Fang had such thoughts of self-destruction. Actually, Lena underestimated her appearance a little. Daoya looked at her for three years, and finally couldn't resist her charm, and thought that Daoya would have a scale of hundreds of people, and he could be on an equal footing with her.

But Daoya forgot that his hundreds of people were all hooligans and ruffians, not to mention the degree of unity, the will to fight, training and other issues, even in terms of equipment, there were only earthen guns and artillery, and iron slag could kill them all by one, not to mention a regular army like the garrison of the Autonomous Society.
