Chapter 53: The Chicken for the Monkeys

After such a long time, the numberers who have developed in this world have actually accumulated a lot of strength, and I wonder if there are one or two treasures at the bottom of the box after the novice world of the numberers. But if it were said that in less than half a year, if it were not for the facts, perhaps no one would believe this crazy news.

Take Hu Bin as an example, the two cities are congenitally deficient in rents due to their sparse population, but fortunately, the business is developed, and the income mainly depends on commercial tariffs, which is about 16,000 dinars per city per month. Combined with the output of the three villages, it can bring Hu Bin about 3,000 dinars per week. Combined with the income from the semi-monthly cross-sea trade port, Hu Bin's monthly income in the territory totals 53,000 dinars. It seems that Hu Bin can save 100,000 dinars in just two months, but in fact, Hu Bin is still working hard to create additional income for the replenishment of the territory's funds.

Take the soldiers who consume the most as an example, in order to ensure the urban defense of the two cities, it is necessary to ensure a large number of troops in the main city, plus Hu Bin needs a corps that can be dispatched at any time, and Hu Bin consumes about 16,000 dinars per month for the soldiers' recruitment fees, maintenance fees, food salaries, and promotion subsidies. In order to form a pure cavalry corps, Hu Bin trained a large number of hired cavalrymen and riders, resulting in an additional monthly maintenance cost of about 4,000 dinars.

The expenses that had to be incurred for the development of the territory included trade subsidies from the city's chambers of commerce, some of the city lord's mansions were paid for minor tasks, as well as the cost of repairing the city's defenses, and the spy salaries of the intelligence department, etc. The various expense items brought in an expenditure of 3,000 dinars per month.

In order to maintain the relationship with the domestic aristocratic families, Su Jia organized a banquet for Hu Bin once or twice a month to maintain Hu Bin's reputation in the Salander aristocratic circle. The extravagant consumption of materials and food and wine made each banquet cost around 4,000 dinars.

And the remaining surplus of nearly 30,000 dinars is at Hu Bin's disposal.

However, the maintenance cost of each level 6 class is 100 dinars per week, and Hu Bin has to add at least 10 such big eaters every month. At present, there are about 30 sixth-level soldiers in Hu Bin's army, and this number is still increasing. In order to equip these additional soldiers with imported equipment, Hu Bin also had to bear an average expenditure of 1,000 dinars per set of equipment.

Lord Reed, a great nobleman who seems to have unlimited scenery and strong troops, is actually facing the threat of a fiscal deficit at the end of every month, which is why he wants to launch an attack on Rhodok so much, he can't quickly convert his troops into a source of wealth, and what awaits him is to be dragged down by his own army. If it weren't for the fact that most of the harvest of this adventure fell into his own pocket, and he hadn't had time to spend it in a hurry, Hu Bin didn't know that it would take the Year of the Monkey to make up his mind to save up the 100,000 gold coins.

In fact, as soon as he returned to the territory, the large amount of money that Hu Bin had gained from this adventure was partially consumed as soon as he returned. A large number of cavalry in the corps could not be trained in just one month. This is the housekeeper Geldan to fill in the east wall to make up the west wall, and also mortgaged the next month's shipping income to make up a large sum of money to recruit. The finances of the territory were in deficit because of Hu Bin's order, and Hu Bin brought back a huge amount of money to fill the hole.

But no matter how distressed he was, looking at the large group of elite cavalry following him, Hu Bin's heart immediately turned cloudy and clear. It was all worth it, just looking at Gerry, who was next to him, and now from time to time he was looking at the legions in the rear, and exclaimed in one way or another for those tin cans.

However, not only Hu Bin was very troubled by these soldiers, but everyone faced such a problem, usually it was easy to recruit and difficult to raise soldiers, resulting in everyone not daring to maintain too many troops. However, in the week leading up to the opening of the store, each numberer is trying to replenish their forces as much as possible. The area around the store is not a safe place, and there is only one kind of person who goes there, and that is the gambler.

Most of the numberers are still tied to their lives now, and according to the principle of paying the ransom after being captured, the wealth in their respective packages has become the gambling money in the eyes of the numberers. The casino is the land that surrounds the shops, and the numberers who have faith in themselves will come there, either alone or in groups, and will earn a lot of money as long as they kill the other numberers. And most importantly, the numberers of this faction can also fight in the melee zone, and when the time comes, there will be revenge and resentment.

When Hu Bin and Gerry arrived at Derrehem City, they found that the city had been placed under martial law by Marshal Kraggs, and the two of them, who had no inn to live in, had to set up camp in the wilderness. There are still two days and one night before the store opens, but it is not excluded that there are numbered people who come in advance like them, and it should be said that as long as people who are interested in this place, they will come here in advance in these days to squat and look for soft persimmons that have placed orders.

However, Hu Bin and Gerry were lucky, the soldiers who were on guard at night did not notice anything abnormal, and both of them had a good night's rest.

But the plains were different during the day, and Hu Bin saw several groups of people wandering around them from a distance. However, due to Gerry's highly skilled reconnaissance skills, they were unable to observe the strength of their own group. Hu Bin suddenly had a hint of murderous intent, the tiger's whiskers are not something anyone can touch, if you don't kill a chicken to open the eyes of the monkeys, they won't want to live in peace these days. Hu Bin didn't come to have a drink with these poor ghosts, and the 100,000 gold coins in his bag were still waiting to be exchanged for precious enchanted items.

After discussing it with Gerry, Hu Bin chose a numbered gang to attack. Hu Bin selected this group of people to be the numberers of the Swadia camp, and there are a total of three numberers who act in a team, and their strength is not bad. It can be seen that they can mix in the middle of this camp, maybe they can make a fortune here and return to China and work hard, and it will not be a problem to mix with a fiefdom lord. But they ran into Hu Bin and Gerry.

Speaking of who is the most famous number in the whole continent, maybe even Hu Bin can't guess, the answer is Lord Gerry. Gerry's Daimyo had already heard of the numberers of the other factions during the battle before the onset of winter. And Hu Bin has always been regarded as an aboriginal lord because his strength is too exaggerated. With the exception of a few unknown Kugit numberers, only later Rhodoc numberers knew of the secret. And they will say that they will not do this kind of thing to boost the enemy's morale.

Until now, many numberers did not know that the famous Lord Reed was a numberer like them. So when the Svadian numberers on the opposite side saw a native lord swaggering towards them with Gerry, they all thought that Gerry had encountered some good task again, and they were quickly pulled into the battlefield by the two.

Five numbered ones appeared in the center of the battlefield, and behind them were their respective forces. Hu Bin looked at the strength of the three people opposite, adding up to about two hundred. The proportion of infantry ranged cavalry is very good, but there are too many new recruits. It seems that it has only expanded to this size this week, and it is really not easy to deal with these forces if it were a legion of ordinary numberers.

"Space Tip: Numbered 000003, you enter the guard area of the other numbered person and take the initiative to attack. Space prompts the first battle, and this world does not prompt the second time.

The default numberer 000003 the attacker, the 002195 is the encounterer, and the 043555, 000716, and 002117 are neutral. ”

Hu Bin and the others' heads lit up with their own numbers, and the others were taken aback when they saw the numbers on Hu Bin's heads, while the other three were even more frightened when they saw the troops behind Hu Bin. All the neutral cavalry, what is that class called Haojie Knight, the equipment on his body is very good. Isn't Lord Reed an aborigine, how can it be a numbered 000003.

However, as a red halo lit up under Hu Bin's feet, another numberer also lit up with a blue halo, and the three of them had a white halo under their feet.

"The belligerents wait for the other numberers to join the faction, note that the neutral faction numberers will only join the belligerent faction if the neutral faction numberer applies to join the faction and the belligerent faction numberer agrees. Neutral faction numberers who have not applied to join the warring faction, have applied for both warring factions at the same time and have been accepted by both warring factions, or rejected by both warring factions, are classified as chaotic factions, marked with a black aura, and can attack all numberers at will, and will also be attacked by all numberers, so please consider carefully before making a decision.

Do not leave the battlefield for 20 minutes after the start of the battle, do not inflict damage between those numbered in the same faction, and do not issue orders to attack the same faction, except for accidental injuries between soldiers. All numbered people have 3 minutes to prepare their camps, and the battle begins in 3 minutes"

As the space prompt ended, a dialogue screen appeared in front of Hu Bin, and 3 dialogues popped up on it at the same time. The red team on the other side turned pale, apparently not receiving an application from his companion to join the team. With a casual click of one yes and two rejections, Gerry joins the attacker, and the two numberers who tried to sell their teammates have to have the latter cheeky to return to the encountering side.

However, it was clear that the numbered person of the encountering party was completely disappointed with the two men, and a black aura enveloped the two wallgrasses. Hu Bin looked at the person who was panting with interest, this guy is decisive enough, he is a man.

"Hey, 95, don't look, it's you. Are you interested in killing those two broilers first, if you agree, I can let you retreat. "The last thing Hu Bin looks down on is betrayal, and since he was attacked by Prince Rhodok, he has been very sensitive to the word betrayal.

No. 95 was stunned for a moment, and then nodded fiercely. "No problem, even without you, I'm going to kill them."

The two belligerents who had negotiated each withdrew from the pre-battle exchange zone provided by the space and began to rearm their arms. The two on the chaotic side were left in the middle of the battlefield, and the space gave them time to choose an open space as their starting location.

Hu Bin and Gerry waited carelessly for the battle to begin, in fact, just now, the fate of the three numbered people had already been decided. A large number of cavalry lined up in a long line behind Hu Bin and Gerry, waiting for the lord's orders, and then leveling the entire battlefield with the enemy.

The battle is on the verge of breaking out.
