Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Mercenary Joins

"Two to three months is fine, the king beast is too powerful, about its exchange, it is not very common, please forgive me."

"It's not your fault, two to three months is still too long, use the military's channels in exchange."

Lu Chen's words made Lin Lei frown, he still didn't want to consume so much, even if he saw the military exploits of a king beast being consumed, he felt a little heartache.

"Mr. are you worried about Eagle Shao's revenge, in fact, don't worry too much about this, as long as you cooperate with those children of the family, in a short period of time, they will not dare to deal with us, although Eagle Shao is strong, but it is from other places, we are weak, but we are all local forces, strong dragons do not suppress the head snake, in a short time, we are fine, and we can even fight back against Eagle Shao."

Originally, Lu Chen was ready to go to war with Ying Shao immediately, but Lin Lei's approach made Lu Chen relieve too much pressure, but even so, Lu Chen still chose to refuse Lin Lei's words.

"That's not the problem, don't ask so much, go and help me get it, and how is the mining work in that mining area."

Seeing Lu Chen's insistence, Lin Lei didn't ask too much, let go of the heartache of the consumption of the king beast's military merits, and he said: "The equipment has been transported, and a lot of minerals have been dug up. ”

"Transporting all those minerals to the vicinity of the contractor's town, I may need them in a short time."

After talking about this, he talked to Lin Lei about some trivial matters, and Lu Chen left the tent.

Leaving Lin Lei, thinking of the two military merits given to him, Lu Chen wants to say that there is no heartache, it is impossible, it is a consumption of military merits, and the eagle is working hard in batches, isn't it just for a military merit, now. This military merit was directly consumed by Lu Chen.

But he really didn't have time, Lu Chen was a little scared in his heart now, he was afraid that if he improved his strength later and waited until he went back to the lower plane, what was waiting for him would be bad news.

He had already experienced a desperate experience. Don't want to experience the death of a loved one again.

After going back to his tent and resting for a long time, Lin Lei came over to find Lu Chen, wanting to see those children of the family.

Like last time, it was still a banquet, and by the time Lu Chen and Lin Lei arrived, several rich children were already brightly lit, and Lu Chen and Lin Lei were the last to arrive.

However, it is different from before. The last time they came, only the master greeted them, but this time, as soon as Lu Chen and Lin Lei appeared, everyone in the house stood up and greeted them.

These children of the family have their own Lin Lei to deal with, and Lu Chen originally planned to wait quietly for the banquet to end in the back, but he wanted to be stable. Others pointed the question of the conversation at him, and there was no way. They were looking for Lin Lei to form an alliance, just because they valued Lu Chen, and if they didn't talk to Lu Chen, they couldn't talk about it.

"Is this the poisonous scorpion that caused the Eagle family to suffer heavy losses, I have heard of Mr. Da's name for a long time, and I saw it today. Sure enough, it is extraordinary. ”

The flattery of those people made Lu Chen feel a little speechless, Lu Chen had only been in this real world for a few months, and they had heard of the big names there, and Lu Chen was covered in a black robe, so he couldn't see any bearing at all. is often misunderstood as a despicable villain, although he is a little funny in his heart, Lu Chen didn't show it at all, just nodded indifferently.

There is no indifference to those people, it is the limit of Lu Chen's achievement, let him be like Lin Lei, talk and laugh with those people, it will be a little difficult for Lu Chen.

Fortunately, Lin Lei quickly relieved Lu Chen.

"You know, most of the contractors are like this, they don't like to talk very much, please forgive me."

"It's okay, it's just this kind of concentration that they can grow so fast and become so strong."

Lu Chen scoffed a little at what the children of the family said, the contractor grew up so fast, and his own reasons were only a small part, and the persecution of the nightmare space was the foundation for them to keep improving their strength.

Listening to the pleasant conversation between them, Lu Chen originally thought that his matter was over, but soon, a discordant voice sounded.

It was a young man who was full of alcohol who spoke, at this moment, he looked at Lu Chen, and his face did not have the usual smile of other family children, but he was a little disgusted with Lu Chen, which made Lu Chen a little strange, he didn't know when he had offended this person.

"Hmph, if it weren't for you doing a good thing to me, the miscellaneous pieces of the Eagle family would have died a long time ago."

His words made Lu Chen understand when he had offended this child of the family, and according to their plan, Lu Chen was indeed a good thing to ruin him.

Secretly observing the people around him, Lu Chen found that although the other people had smiles on their faces, if they looked closely, they could still see a trace of disgust, obviously, they were a little repulsed by Lin Lei and Lu Chen for Lu Chen to destroy their good deeds.

When Lu Chen was thinking like this, the other children of the family had already grabbed the somewhat drunk child of the family and calmed him down, but the effect was not very good, maybe his manpower had lost too much during the last detection, and this time he was very unhappy, shouting loudly, and wanted to say something.

"It's all you, if it's not you......"

His voice made Lu Chen a little bored, looking at him, Lu Chen said in a cold voice: "What, do you have any opinions about me, you want to be my enemy." ”

Lu Chen's words, as if they were scraped from the Nine Secluded Land, made the people around him shudder, and the rich kid who was looked directly at by Lu Chen trembled all over, his heart was cold, and most of the wine woke up in an instant, Lu Chen's words just now contained a trace of spiritual power, which made the rich kid sober up.

There is no intention to drink, and the child of the family also regrets it a little, Lu Chen can face the person who is alone with Yingshao, he doesn't dare to confront Lu Chen head-on, originally he just wanted to use the wine to harden his mouth, so that Lin Lei and the others realized that they were wrong, and gave up some interests in the later negotiations, but they didn't expect Lu Chen to be so tough, and directly asked if he was an enemy.

Facing Lu Chen's forced gaze, he dodged and didn't dare to say anything, but the people around him gave him a round.

Looking at the group of people who were talking and laughing again, Lu Chen didn't say anything, and followed Lin Lei into the banquet, watching them drink and discuss at the same time.

There was nothing for Lu Chen to do in this kind of negotiation, and when Lin Lei was negotiating with them, Lu Chen was like a vase, sitting quietly next to him.

Except for what just happened. The rest of the negotiations went unexpectedly smoothly, and there were almost no accidents, Lin Lei reached an agreement with them, and after the agreement was reached, Lu Chen followed Lin Lei and left.

On the way back, Lin Lei looked at Lu Chen and said, "Mr. did a good job just now. Originally, I wanted to deliberately create some topics to show how powerful Mr. Xia is, but I didn't expect them to make a move first. ”

This praise, Lu Chen accepted it calmly, when he was at the door, if Lu Chen was not stronger, those children of the family might catch Lin Lei and their mistakes, and let them give up a lot of things, Lu Chen's strength. Let them understand that Lu Chen is not easy to mess with.

After arriving at his camp, Lu Chen did not leave his room again, but cultivated underground, although now the simple meditation cultivation is very slow to improve his strength, but Lu Chen still does not dare to let the time be wasted.

This cultivation was a whole day, until the next day, Lin Lei told Lu Chen. After changing from the military to what he wanted, Lu Chen came out of his room.

It's just that. On the way there, Lu Chen found a strange scene, their camp was crowded with people, it was really crowded, Lu Chen found that there were tens of thousands of people around their camp, which made Lu Chen startled. He thought it was the eagles who came to attack them.

But after taking a closer look, Lu Chen found that those people were ordinary mercenaries, not Ying Shao's elite team, and. Although the mercenaries were numerous, they were all very safe around, and no troublemakers appeared.

This made Lu Chen a little puzzled, and he didn't know what these people were doing here.

He didn't think much about it, while watching, Lu Chen walked towards Lin Lei's tent, and when he got to Lin Lei, he could know the reason by asking him.

When he arrived, Lu Chen found that Lin Lei was instructing his subordinates to do something, and when he saw Lu Chen coming, he waved his hand to let his deputy Lin Feng retreat.

"What's going on with the people out there?"

Entering the room, Lu Chen asked about the outside matter, but, for Lu Chen's question, Lin Lei's face was a little strange, and he looked at Lu Chen for a while, and then he spoke: "Mr. Don't you know?" ”

"I should know?"

"Indeed, most of the people from outside come here because of the relationship between the husband."

"Because of me, whatever, don't sell off, you know, I hate that." Lu Chen, who couldn't figure out the relationship, didn't think much about it, and asked directly.

Seeing that Lu Chen was indeed a little impatient, Lin Lei didn't say anything else, and explained: "Those people came here because they wanted us to hire them. ”

"Tens of thousands?" A group of people came over and wanted to accept the hir, Lu Chen had seen it, but it was a little unusual for so many people to come together.

"All of them, speaking of which, they came over, and Mr. has a great relationship, Mr. led the team last time, and none of the people led by him died, so that they all felt the mercy of Mr., and Mr. alone controlled the king beast, and the matter of defeating the Eagle Minority and 10,000 troops alone has also spread throughout the army, which shows that Mr. is strong."

"A strong and benevolent person, they want to come and follow, and it is a matter of course, after all, it is very dangerous here, and only by following the strong can they get merit while saving their lives."

After listening to Lin Lei's story, Lu Chen was a little speechless, he wanted to say that he was able to keep the fifty people who had passed last time because of the small number of people, Lu Chen could shelter at will, but if there were many people, Lu Chen could not protect them.

Lu Chen didn't hide this, and told Lin Lei directly, but Lin Lei had a different opinion on this.

"Mr. was able to let those fifty people come back last time, it is true that they are few in number and easy to protect, but I heard them talk about the situation on the battlefield at that time, the reason why they were able to come back, in my opinion, in addition to what Mr. said, it also has a great relationship with Mr.'s ability, Mr. is good at defense, this is the main reason why they can all come back, if Mr. is the ability of the offensive department, even if they are small, Mr. can't let them all return."

Lin Lei's words made Lu Chen stunned for a moment, and thought about it carefully, it is true, the defensive ability makes Lu Chen's offensive ability insufficient, but this ability makes his ability to save his life and the ability to protect others very strong, if he didn't have the ability of the earth system, he transformed the terrain and built a fortress, so that the beasts could not approach those soldiers, no matter how hard those soldiers tried, there would be casualties, and the battlefield at that time was too chaotic.

If there is no fortress, there is no need for the beasts to attack in person, when they attack, the chaos of the mercenaries is enough to make Lu Chen's team collapse, it is his fortress that keeps his soldiers safe and sound.

While Lu Chen was thinking about this, Lin Lei's voice continued to sound.

"On the battlefield, with the help of defenders like Mr., their hope of survival has been greatly enhanced, for the sake of life, now, they all want to enter our team, originally they were quite afraid that we would offend Ying Shao, but after Mr. sought justice from Ying Shao, they all felt that Mr. could be compared with Ying Shao, so there are so many people who want to enter our team today."

After understanding the whole story, Lu Chen only shook his head, but he was still curious about Lin Lei's choice.

"What do you do with those people?"

"Since they are willing to come in, I dare to ask for it, of course, I will have a small test, only accept the stronger part, and it is expected that about 10,000 people will be recruited among them."

Lin Lei's words made Lu Chen a little surprised: "Is it okay for so many people, I remember that your family is no longer supporting you." ”

"The army is not a large number of people, but also weapons, equipment, food, and this is still mercenaries, not regular soldiers, if you accept them, you need to give them a lot of money, Lu Chen is a little worried about Lin Lei's financial resources, whether he can feed so many people."

For this kind of problem, Lin Lei is full of confidence: "Don't worry, since I dare to accept, I have a way to arrange, I am ready to recruit some battlefield veterans, they have their own equipment in their hands, which saves a lot of costs, they came over, because they are optimistic about our strength, and potential, in their eyes, with such a strong person as Mr., we will be able to get a territory of our own sooner or later, therefore, they come over, most of them want to establish military merits, go back alive, and be a small official in the territory or something." ”

"With this in mind, they won't be too demanding, and it will save some money, and I will only have to take care of their food, and besides, I don't just have fun in the barracks these days." (To be continued.) )
