"If we don't rely on the judgment paladins, we will definitely die?" Emma remained in her original position, still looking up at the sky.

"Yes, unless you abandon the Silver Ball base and retreat to a base further away from here." In Zhang Yuan's view, the answer to this question is very obvious. Judging from the size and equipment of this Protoss, it is most likely a reconnaissance detachment with enhanced firepower. Just a reconnaissance detachment almost wiped out the armament of the silver ball, and the result after the arrival of the follow-up troops is self-evident.

"I'm not leaving. This land is the result of several years of construction and cannot be given to anyone. Emma's voice was soft, but very resolute.

Zhang Yuan frowned, in his opinion, Emma's insistence seemed very strange. Compared to the vast wilderness, there are very few people. Although the Silver Globe Base is well built, 99% of the buildings are still abandoned. And the traffic location of the Silver Ball base is good, but there are not many resources around. It would only take a year for a group army like Silver Ball, which had a small amount of advanced technology and equipment, to build a better base than the Silver Ball base.

Emma suddenly turned her head, stared at Zhang Yuan with shining eyes, and said, "As a knight's squire, you have to protect me, right?" Emma asked. There was something strange on her face, as if it were disappointed as well as relieved.

Zhang Yuan replied seriously: "It is the duty and responsibility of the paladin to protect the knight squire, and attacking the knight squire is no different from attacking the paladin itself. Here's the details, you can take a look. ”

Zhang Yuan took out an electronic booklet and handed it to Emma, who began to read it seriously.

After seeing this, Emma stretched her body, lay back on the ground, looked up at the night sky without stars and moons, and said, "Okay, you can be a knight's squire!" But let's talk about the price. Tell me, how much money are you going to give me, these soldiers under my command must also be taken away, and as for the compensation of the silver ball, you can take care of it. ”

Although it was covered by a helmet, it could still be seen from the transparent mask that Zhang Yuan's expression became very exciting. He hummed a few times before saying, "Your fixed remuneration is only 100 yuan per month now, and it will be slowly increased in the future." Because I'm poor now. ”

"Have you ever been rich?!" Emma unceremoniously interrupted Zhang Yuan. For such a sharp question, Zhang Yuan was silent, and then honestly said: "No, and now it is poorer." I owe a lot of money to others. ”

"You're asking us to work for you so you can pay it back?" Emma asked sharply. Zhang Yuan was silent again, sounding as if the whole thing was like this.

"Okay, it's okay to work hard. What about my people? Emma once again threw Zhang Yuan an unsolvable problem.

"They have no choice but to be your mercenaries. Not everyone can become a knight's squire. ”

At this time, Zhang Yuan's tactical board suddenly flashed, and as soon as he pressed the edge of the tactical board, the screen lit up. There's a message in there. The Ruling Paladin Headquarters attached great importance to the Protoss army, estimating the value of 500,000 yuan for the information of their invasion, the corpses of the seventeen Protoss warriors, and the various equipment and ammunition captured, and paid 100,000 yuan to Zhang Yuan's account in advance. If Protoss corpses and equipment provide more valuable information, the honorarium can be added. After Zhang Yuan brought these things back to the headquarters, he could receive the rest of the remuneration.

According to the rules of the wilderness, Zhang Yuan won the battle almost alone, so he should distribute the vast majority of the spoils. This time Zhang Yuan was not polite, Emma was also very cheerful, and the silver ball only needed the corpse and equipment of a soldier to go back for research, and the rest was given to Zhang Yuan. This kind of advanced weapon is useless because of the limited ammunition, in fact, it is useless to take too much.

Zhang Yuan didn't expect that there would be so much remuneration for this unexpected mission. It looks like for the Adjudicating Paladin, the Protoss is a newly discovered enemy, and that's the most valuable part. As for the corpses and equipment of the warriors, the value of the reference is more than the value of the test. The masters of the headquarters can deduce the technical level and combat concept of the strength of these suddenly emerging Protoss through their physical evolution and the equipment used, so as to formulate targeted tactics and even develop new types of equipment.

From Emma's point of view, she could just peek at the content on Zhang Yuan's screen, she immediately snorted and sneered, "What is this?" You seem to have just received 80,000 yuan, but you are only willing to pay me 100 yuan a month? ”

After Zhang Yuan replied to the confirmation message, he patiently explained: "The cost of the knight's squire's equipment and upgrades is borne by the paladin. In other words, not only you, but even the equipment of your soldiers will have to be prepared. You feel like 80,000 yuan is a lot, yes, it's a lot, and the value of the Adjurative Paladin's currency is much more valuable than the currency in the wilderness. But I need to prepare you with a full set of combat equipment, as well as a life support and medical kit. And in order to deal with the next attack of the Protoss, we need something that can deal with chariots, and the price of such things will be unexpectedly expensive. So this time, the money will be used to replenish equipment. ”

"Okay, you don't want the hundred yuan old lady, the old lady wants to sleep with you, at least once a week, this is my condition for becoming your knight's squire. To be honest, my mother has been coveting you for a long time! Emma's words made Zhang Yuan petrify directly, and then reluctantly acquiesced. To be honest, Zhang Yuan, who looks ordinary on the earth, is indeed a lot more handsome after experiencing several trial ground worlds. However, Zhang Yuan never thought that he had the potential to be a duck. At present, when there is really no money, Zhang Yuan can only succumb. Anyway, people are poor and short-sighted, and Emma is not bad-looking, Zhang Yuan, this guy is indeed evil, and acquiesced in this deal.

At dawn, the convoy from the Silver Ball base finally arrived in the valley. Zhang Yuan loaded all the loot into one of the fastest heavy transport trucks and said goodbye to Emma. Before leaving, he left Emma with more than forty rounds of bullets and taught him how to use it. The War Thunderbolt in Zhang Yuan's hand has been readjusted, and the bullets he carries are also special charges, which are half as powerful as ordinary War Thunderbolts. The price of great power is that Zhang Yuan estimates that if Emma opens three guns in a row, with his strength that he has roughly only strengthened at the top level, most of his wrists will be broken.

After a brief goodbye, Zhang Yuan was eager to leave. He had to rush back to the Holy Base as quickly as he could, hand over the mission, and collect the supplies.

While waiting, Telles sent a message. Leah has been admitted to the hospital arranged by Blue Moon and has begun to undergo pre-operative treatment. Telles has already completed all the formalities for the registration of the knight's squire and paid the corresponding fees. This surprised the beautiful young girl who registered for the business, and throughout the registration process, she inquired about Telles's origin from the side. Because in her experience, there has never been a knight squire who has registered and paid the fee himself, especially from Telles's words, the money is still paid by him.

Before Zhang Yuan left, Emma suddenly walked up to him, touched Zhang Yuan's face fiercely, and then said in a deliberately low and stiff voice: "Thank you, the person who didn't kill me this time." Zhang Yuan smiled, boarded the armored transporter, and walked away.

When Zhang Yuan arrived at the holy base, all the equipment he needed had been prepared and delivered to the designated warehouse. The value of this batch of materials is not 100,000, but 500,000 people. Li Jubing used his own reputation to guarantee Zhang Yuan, so that he got the balance in advance, although Li Jubing's current credit is close to complete bankruptcy, but it is more than enough to guarantee the balance of 400,000 yuan.

The final payment obtained in advance allowed Zhang Yuanzai to buy a large number of high-powered weapons and armored suits. Although these armored suits are simple, they are lined with light alloys after all, which will greatly increase the chances of survival of Zhang Yuan's soldiers.

The list of all equipment was drawn up by Blue Moon's Private Operations Staff. According to the information sent back by Zhang Yuan, they preliminarily analyzed the equipment and firepower composition of the Protoss, and gave a list of targeted equipment.

After the task was completed, Zhang Yuan immediately rushed to the Paladin Armament Depot to pick up the equipment. Under Blue Moon's mandate, he applied for and received the task of blocking the Protoss from the Adjudicating Paladin's core control area, and the additional task was to scout the location of the Protoss' forward base.
