Chapter 65: Banquet Invitation

Although he is cultivating, with Lu Chen's current strength, without the help of high-level items, it is impossible to improve his strength in a short period of time, so Lu Chen, who enters the tent, can only maintain his own state.

Soon, the sky was gray, the night had come, and the tranquility outside Lu Chen's tent was suddenly broken, and Lin Lei walked in.

"What's the matter? The order of the military department was given? ”

The moment someone came in, Lu Chen opened his eyes.

"Not yet, sir, this time I came here for other things, someone invited us to a banquet to prepare an alliance with us."

"Alliance, someone you know?" Forming an alliance on the battlefield is indeed more numerous and can increase some strength, but if the people who form an alliance have bad ideas, not only will they not increase their strength, but they will also lose something.

Regarding Lu Chen's question, Lin Lei was very calm: "Don't worry, sir, I won't let people deceive, the people who are looking for our alliance this time are the same as us, they are all newcomers, not those veterans who have fought, let Mr. go over, just to support the scene." ”

With a contractor by his side, Lin Lei can be more confident when he forms an alliance.

And Lu Chen also reacted after listening to Lin Lei's words, with Lin Lei's wit, it is not so easy to be pitted, he is a little suspicious, since it is to support the scene, don't do anything by yourself, of course Lu Chen has no reason to object, in the tent, his strength cannot continue to improve, and it is not bad to go out to find other people to form an alliance.

……

In a luxurious tent, Lu Chen was dressed in a black robe and watched Lin Lei and Qin Xuan talking and laughing with others in the field, and he felt a little tired in his heart. Not only Lin Lei came over to this banquet, but Qin Xuan also came. The two of them are very clear about the relationship between the children of rich families, except for the beginning. introduced Lu Chen, and the rest of the things didn't need Lu Chen to do anything at all, he just watched from the side.

The banquet lasted for half an hour before Qin Xuan had time to leave from the center of the banquet and came to Lu Chen's side.

"How about it, can we form an alliance?"

"I don't feel good."

"Why, I see that you guys have a good conversation, they have other ideas?" Looking at the happy banquet, Lu Chen asked directly.

"They must have other thoughts. But this is not the main thing, today's battle of the army against the beast, they also saw it, which made them a little inflated, and they felt that the beast was very easy to deal with, and they came to us to form an alliance to prepare to take the initiative to take the task, go to the field to clean up the beast, and earn military merit as soon as possible. ”

Qin Xuan's words made Lu Chen a little speechless. They really use this as a playground.

However, after glancing at the maids walking back and forth in the field, Lu Chen felt that this was very likely to be true. They did come with a playful mind.

This made Lu Chen a little lucky, and chose to be with Lin Lei, although Lin Lei had never seen the battlefield. But he's at least not a pustule and knows what to do. What not to do, he has a lot of women in the town. But when he went to the battlefield, he didn't bring any of them, as for the few maids given to Lu Chen, it was to make Lu Chen happy, so they weren't counted.

Moreover, the materials he brought were all very sturdy and could be used several times.

The initiator of this banquet brought things that were particularly luxurious, but such things were useless on the battlefield, a large number of women, and it also affected morale, especially the mercenaries who fought outside, and when these rich children played with women in luxurious tents, Lu Chen really didn't know how much combat power those mercenaries could put into the battlefield.

Non-alignment, a pig teammate can kill others on the battlefield.

Because there was no intention of forming an alliance, halfway through the banquet, Lin Lei and Qin Xuan left together.

When they arrived outside the tent, the initiator of the banquet also specially persuaded him: "Young Master Lei, are you sure you won't join us tomorrow, you have also seen today's battle, those beasts don't have much wisdom at all, they are only powerful physically, we advance on a large scale, they can't stop it at all, maybe they will scare away as soon as we go." ”

"Thank you brother for your kindness, it's just that I'm a little timid, let's move forward steadily, here, little brother wishes you a victorious start."

After finishing speaking, Lin Lei and Lu Chen left the tent.

Watching Lin Lei's figure gradually move away, a rich boy next to the promoter of the banquet spat on the ground and sneered: "I have always heard that Lin Ergongzi is resourceful, but I didn't expect him to be a coward. ”

"Forget it, let's continue to discuss the matter of moving forward together tomorrow."

Looking at the tent behind him that was lively again, Lu Chen, who walked away, thoughtfully: "Is there an old man coming to this banquet, are they other rich children who have lived on the battlefield for a while?" ”

"No, what's wrong?" Lu Chen's question, Lin Lei just thought about it for a moment and answered.

"Not a single one?"

Lu Chen's request again made Lin Lei pause, and he returned after half a sound: "Yes, there are none, maybe he didn't invite those old people." ”

Although he said this, Lin Lei's face had become slightly solemn.

There are connections between the children of the family, many of them are relatives, and those rich children are not all pustules, it is impossible not to ask those children of the family who arrived early, there are many children of the family invited to this banquet, if there are few old people, Lin Lei can be said to be normal, but there is no one, it is a little abnormal, there must be a demon when things go wrong, and the initiator of that banquet is likely to be bewitched by other people, so he initiated the banquet.

It's just that the purpose of launching the banquet and who initiated it, Lin Lei didn't know anything.

Walking to his tent, Lin Lei suddenly let out a sigh of relief and laughed: "No matter whose plan it is, we didn't participate in it this time, so we don't have to think about it so much, but the person who can plan this plan, family background, and strength must not be weak, so we'd better not ask." ”

Although he was talking to himself, Lu Chen knew that Lin Lei was talking to him, and he was afraid that he would do something impulsively.

Shaking his head, Lu Chen spoke: "It really has nothing to do with us. But from this, we can also see. The relationship between the old man and the newcomer is not harmonious, and it is good to ask someone else about the situation. But it's better to find someone you can trust, and if you're misled by those old people, we're in trouble. ”

After reminding Lin Lei, Lu Chen walked back to his tent alone, with Lin Lei's intelligence, he only needs to mention it, he can handle this aspect of things better than himself.

Nothing happened overnight.

The next day, everyone else was busy. Lu Chen was still resting in the tent.

However, at noon, Lu Chen was called out again.

When Lin Lei and Qin Xuan were found, there was still a mercenary in their room.

"Who is this?"

"Sir, this is the head of the Silver Fox, the mercenary I just hired, and we will fight together in the future."

After Lin Lei finished speaking, Qin Xuan explained to Lu Chen in a whisper: "The rich son of the Silver Fox Regiment who has been loyal for a long time has unfortunately died in a mission. Without the children of the family, the Silver Fox team would have no supply of supplies, and they would have no one to rely on on the battlefield. After you said it yesterday, Lin Lei and I both felt that the children of the family were a little unreliable, and we were afraid of being calculated. We brought such mercenaries, and they were already planning to follow us. Later, if you get enough merit. If they can make a contribution, they will also become the guardians of the territory, and their fate is tied to us. ”

After Qin Xuan finished explaining, Lu Chen nodded, indicating that he understood, he didn't expect Lin Lei to find such a mercenary, although it was unexpected, but Lu Chen was very satisfied, fate was tied together, so there was no need to be afraid of betrayal, and as veterans, they happened to have the experience that Lu Chen lacked, and finding them was indeed a good move.

"Now that Mr. has arrived, please tell Your Excellency Silver Fox what you think, the strength of the team we brought has already told you just now."

Now the most powerful in the team are Lu Chen and Lin Lei, although Lu Chen usually doesn't take care of things, but in order to show respect for Lu Chen, whenever something major happens, Lin Lei will notify Lu Chen and let Lu Chen watch, as for Qin Xuan, she is the representative of Lu Chen's interests, and some of Lu Chen's trivial matters are handled by her.

Not to mention Lu Chen's side, after Lin Lei spoke, Silver Fox pondered for a while, and then spoke: "Childe, I have heard of the strength of the team, but our team has not passed through the battlefield, and the combat effectiveness is really not stable, if we go to the beast area rashly like this, our entire team will lose half of it in ten days and a half." ”

This is almost all the veterans' opinion of the new mercenary, what the silver fox said, Lin Lei was not angry, but asked: "Then what do you think we should do?" ”

"The young master has just come here, and the army has not yet sent out the task, I suggest sir, don't wait for the army to send it, but take the initiative to take the task."

"Take the initiative, do you mean we're going to take the initiative? This is in line with a few of my friends. Silver Fox's words made Lin Lei's eyes narrow.

"Take the initiative? The young master misunderstood, what I want you to take over is a defensive mission? ”

Lin Lei's tone, Silver Fox also noticed, although he didn't know why Lin Lei's expression changed, but he still said his suggestion, and at the same time he had already made up his mind, if Lin Lei insisted on going his own way and wanted to drive to the field immediately, he would leave with his teammates, so that a blind person becoming a leader is not a good choice.

However, Silver Fox didn't expect that his defensive words would make Lin Lei's expression soften.

"Why take on defensive duties? Also, don't we win all the time? What needs to be defended? ”

"We have indeed been advancing, but the army has mainly defeated the main force of the beasts, and has not done to kill the beasts, there are still many beasts alive behind us, those beasts have been harassing the towns and supply lines established by the military, what I want you to take is to defend the city under construction, or the task of protecting the supply line, if you can't get it, you can clean up the beasts behind, you must not take the task of forward reconnaissance, at least not now."

Glancing at Lu Chen, Lin Lei could already feel that Silver Fox really wanted to join their team, not with other thoughts, but Lin Lei was still a little puzzled by Silver Fox's approach.

"Why? I remember that when you go to the front to investigate, you can get the most merit. ”

"Go to the front, you can indeed get the most merits, but the heaviest casualties are also the front, I know that the young master wants merit, but please wait for the young master, at least train the troops before moving forward."

Lin Lei's character, Silver Fox likes it very much, and the main thing is that Lin Lei has enough resources to meet the needs of their team, so Silver Fox doesn't want to give up Lin Lei, the gold owner, so he is also diligent in explaining.

"The young master's troops, the biggest problem now is that there is no group combat experience, it is easy to do chaos in the face of beasts, in the war, chaos, this is a manifestation of suicide, although the enemy behind is not weak, but after all, it has been cleaned up by the army, there are not many who are too strong, we can use the beasts behind to train the soldiers, and wait until the troops are no longer flustered in the face of the beasts, and at the same time can do it in an orderly manner, we have the capital to move forward, there are many meritorious deeds, it is impossible to earn, the army is the foundation of the young master, as long as there is a strong army, Why worry about the difficulty of military achievements. ”

I have to say that the silver fox's eloquence is good, and at the same time he thinks very comprehensively, Lin Lei was moved by what he said, although Lin Lei wants to get military merit immediately and prove himself to the family, but he is a smart person, he will not be affected by these emotions, he wants to accept the silver fox's method.

Although he had an idea, Lin Lei did not agree immediately, but looked at Lu Chen and asked respectfully: "I don't know what Mr. means." ”

Lu Chen could naturally feel Lin Lei's thoughts, and after thinking about it for a while, he did not deny the Silver Fox's opinion, however, Lu Chen also put forward his own opinion: "It's really good to train the soldiers first, let's go to the back, however, the defensive task and protection and supply are too passive, and the beast is likely not to attack for several months, so our troops have not been trained, which is very unfavorable to us, if we take the task, take the cleaning task." ”

Lu Chen's words, the silver fox had a different opinion: "Lord Scorpion, the defense task is not as easy as you think, there will be beasts attacking the towns under construction every day, the supply line of the army is also very long, and there are beast attacks everywhere, although there are very few at one time, but it takes a few months and trains slowly, we can still train the team, the army of this planet has only developed one-eighth, and it will take decades to completely clean up the beasts on this planet, and we have a long ......." ”

The silver fox wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Lin Lei, glanced at Lu Chen, Lin Lei said: "Okay, Silver Fox, just do what Mr. Scorpion said, tomorrow, I will apply for the task of cleaning up the beasts behind, no, no tomorrow, I will go immediately." (To be continued.) )
