Chapter 542 - Hiring Refugees

The wave-breaking battleship quickly cleaved the waves, crossed a large area of sea, and returned to the vicinity of the ice and snow island.

Watching the battleship slowly sail into the hole in the island and enter the safe harbor, Li Xu rushed off the battleship as soon as possible and rushed towards the city.

After identity verification, he walked into the blue seal, and with a wary glance at the cold general who was patrolling in the distance, he entered the crowded group of uncamped refugees and walked towards the Ice Castle with difficulty

Walking among the large number of refugee NPCs, Li Xu curiously looked at these special NPCs without combat occupations, but at a glance, he was instantly stunned!

The first few times he passed by here, there were a large number of soldiers to help maintain order, Li Xu didn't carefully check the attributes of these NPCs, but now it seems that it makes him feel surprised and happy in his heart

Because of these different races, even the weird NPCs whose names Li Xu had never heard of, each of them was a high-level craftsman!

Just like the wounded soldiers of Wei Cheng in Tianmeng City, they have the ability to fight, but they have a life occupation, and these refugees of all ethnic groups are also high-level architects and foundries

The sudden discovery made Li Xu very happy in his heart, he looked at these NPCs, as if he had seen gold mines, and his eyes suddenly flashed with excitement.

General Bingyan was worried about the number of these refugees, but he didn't think that each of these NPCs was extremely precious to him!

Maybe this is also a special task set by the system, how can you make them your own?

Li Xu thought of an idea in his heart, and quickly walked towards the mountain pulse in the center of the city

Coming to the long street at the foot of the mountain, the Golden Armor Guard respectfully made a passage for Li Xu, allowing him to quickly lead to the foot of the mountain.

Climbing all the way to the Ice and Snow Castle and entering the fortress gate, he rushed to the fifth floor of the General's Great Hall.

In the main hall, General Bingyan and Bing Xuexin, as well as Tie Lao and others, seem to have been waiting here for a long time.

"Brother who rebelled against his fate." Bing Xuexin smiled and rushed to Li Xu's side, and the jade hand was naturally wrapped in the crook of his arm.

"Young man, you're finally here, have you forgotten our mission?" Tie Lao smiled.

"Fight against fate, time is precious, I hope you can cherish it." General Bingyan said coldly.

"Don't worry, General, I just went to the Ice and Snow River, and I rushed over immediately to deal with some personal matters." Li Xu said with a smile.

"So that's the case, now that the Shuixin Patriarch has returned, the situation over there should be stable, right?" General Bingyan's face softened slightly, and he asked lightly.

"Thank you for the kindness of the general, let the two patriarchs count this credit on my head." Li Xu bent down and said in thanks.

"You kid is quite smart, he knows the intentions of this general, and now the Water Spirit Clan must regard you as a benefactor, and the benefits will definitely not be less for you in the future." General Bingyan laughed.

"In that case, we need ice crystal ore, and the boy will be able to help." Tie Lao smiled.

"Ice crystal ore is a piece of cake, I have now obtained the full sharing of the Ice and Snow River, which is what the Great General wants to see." Li Xu said with a smile.

"Ah, the legal fief is fully shared!"

For a moment, General Bingyan and Tie Lao were all stunned, their faces were first surprised, and then they all smiled

"I didn't expect the Water Spirit Clan to value you so much, it's okay now, don't worry about the Ice and Snow River in the future, if you need any help, just talk to General Ben." General Bingyan laughed.

"I've just been about to report something to the general, and it's very important news for us." Li Xu said.

"What's the news, tell me about it." General Bingyan hurriedly asked.

"That is, in the early hours of tonight morning, the Holy Beast will wake up, and from tomorrow, the ice crystal veins can be mined at full strength. One more thing, my people are exploring the waters near the River of Ice, and now they have found a basic mine that can provide a large amount of metal ore. Li Xu said.

"The good news, we are short of resources now, the big war is coming, and having more resources in hand means that we can expand the size of our fleet and quickly increase our strength." Tie Lao said in surprise.

"Fight against fate, tell your conditions, how do you need this general to help you so that you can provide us with a lot of resources?" General Bingyan asked with a faint smile.

"I need a lot of money and security, otherwise someone else will rob the mine and we won't get anything." Li Xu said.

I finally found the ore vein, and now is the time to make money, but I don't know if I can get a lot of gold coins from the NPCs?

Li Xu has never done this before, and now he is just asking tentatively to see the other party's answer

"I'm afraid it's hard for us to help you with the matter of funds, but the security guards are absolutely fine, and I can transfer the legion to help you guard the island." General Bingyan really rejected the matter of funds.

"Okay, to protect the safety of the mine, you need at least 10,000 soldiers, can the general do it?" Li Xu asked.

"It's very simple, I will give you a military order, you can ask Uncle Tie to help you mobilize the army, follow you to the location of the mine, and then station guards there." General Bingyan happily took out a golden token and handed it to Tie Lao beside him.

"Thank you, General." Li Xu said with a smile.

"I'll help you with the guards, when can you help me provide ore?" General Bingyan asked.

"Starting tomorrow, I will do my best to mine the veins, and the resources provided to you will be more and more over time, please rest assured." Li Xu said.

"Very good, then you hurry up and deal with this matter, and don't delay the matter of increasing your reputation." General Bingyan nodded with satisfaction.

"Don't worry, General, I have one more thing I want to ask you." Li Xu hurriedly said.

"What else?" General Bingyan looked at him puzzled.

"This matter can actually help you solve the problem, now that there are many refugees in the Ice and Snow City, it has blocked the streets and alleys of the entire city, I don't know what the general has planned?" Li Xu asked.

"What you're talking about is this, the matter of refugees is really a headache for General Ben, these refugees of all ethnic groups are all ethnic groups taken in by my ancestors in countless battles, they have been helping us expand the city, but now you have also seen, all the places on the ice and snow island have been expanded, and there is no other space, but the number of these refugees is increasing, which really gives me a headache." General Bingyan said with a sigh.

"Yes, these people came here with the old generals and have always regarded this place as their home, but the Terran royal family has never recognized their Terran identity, nor has they given them a territory to survive, and we dare not let them out at will, lest they become the rise of the second demon clan." Tie Lao shook his head and said.

"General, don't worry, now I have a way to help you solve the problem." Li Xu said with a smile.

"Fighting against fate, do you want to take them to the River of Ice and Snow and become your craftsman?" General Bingyan's eyes lit up and he asked with a smile.

"The general is right, these refugees are of no use to you, but they are a piece of heart, but they are the best craftsmen to me, and both sides can solve problems, so why not?" Li Xu asked with a smile.

"You're right, but these NPCs are all under the command of my Ice Legion, and although they are blocking the city now, you still have to pay some gold to get them out." General Bingyan smiled.

"Why pay for it? General, I'm here to help you solve your problems. Li Xu exclaimed.

"Fighting against fate, don't think that General Ben doesn't know anything, as long as your strength is raised to a certain level, you people will come to the Ice and Snow Island as required to help us fight against the demon clan, and when they come, these refugees will definitely need something, and my trouble can be relieved." General Bingyan said lightly.

belch

Li Xu listened to his words, and couldn't help but stand there in a daze, this general's mind is really delicate, he actually thinks so long-term, it seems that the plan to get these refugees for free is afraid that it will no longer work.

"How about it, fight against fate, for the sake of our familiarity, if you need these refugees, I can give you a cheaper price." General Bingyan was like a businessman who was a philistine, and he actually talked about business

"General, don't forget it, I still have to help you provide a lot of ore resources, won't you help me with this little favor?" Li Xu said helplessly.

"Rebel brother, my father can't help it, don't you have a lot of gold coins, just help my father." Ice and Snow said in a coquettish voice.

"Xin'er is right, I am in charge of hundreds of thousands of legions, as well as this huge ice and snow island, and now I have to step up preparations for war, and I also need gold coins to maintain, but I can give you a discount of 30%, and let you choose the manpower you need freely, what do you think?" General Bingyan smiled and said.

"I'm going to think about that." Li Xu was stunned.

It seems that the plan to take these refugees away without paying for it is completely unworkable, but the price of 30% and the right to choose freely make him feel excited.

Even if you can't come up with a large amount of money, aren't there still three major legions that can help?

"Tell me, General, what is the price?" Li Xu sighed and asked.

"Uncle Tie, the Life Legion has always been in your charge, you can talk about the price, all the gold coins will go into the legion treasury and be used to make the Zuò fleet." General Bingyan said.

"Okay, don't worry, general, I'll discuss it with him slowly." Tie Lao nodded and said.

"You guys go and raise your reputation first, this matter will be discussed by Uncle Tie and you, I don't have any opinion." General Bingyan waved his hand, signaling for everyone to leave

Li Xu bowed down and said goodbye, followed Tie Lao out of the fortress, and came all the way to the foot of the mountain.

"Young man, according to the rules, there are different levels of craftsmen to be hired, and the prices are also different, so I'll send you the price list first." Tie Lao turned around with a smile, and with a wave of his arm, a white light flew towards Li Xu
