Chapter 680: Trade Union Review
According to Black Sun's intelligence, the location of the arcane eye fragment is locked within a radius of almost 0.3 kilometers.
Luo Ming originally wanted to try it too, so he took the piece of Arcane Eye Fragment in his hand and directly scanned it in a wide area to find it.
The result was unworkable, and the two pieces seemed to have a wonderful resonance that greatly interfered with the scanning.
Of course, there is another possibility, which is that the arcane eye fragment itself also has the function of shielding detection.
But even if this method doesn't work, it's nothing, it's just that you can't be opportunistic, so just work hard.
The Cabinet quickly drew up the plan, which Lockin signed and sealed, and hundreds of people in Vanshey County were mobilized.
A whole squadron of militia and a squadron of standing troops were immediately dispatched to impose a preliminary blockade of the area.
A total of more than two hundred and forty people seemed impossible to block such a vast area, but Luo Ming's method was also very simple.
He sent men to build improvised watchtowers every 100 meters outside the area, each manned by ten men, armed with muskets, bows, horses, and flares, forming a circle of surveillance.
In addition to this, he cleared out a no-man's land more than 100 meters wide in the outer ring - this was originally a wilderness, but there were no people.
Four groups of cavalry, each of twenty men, patrolled the no-man's land, and like the garrison of the watchtower, they could cut down anyone suspicious at the sight of them.
Next, Luo Ming issued missions in several towns in Vanchy, and hired a large number of mercenaries, or adventurers.
In fact, there were far more people who came to try to apply than he hired, but Luo Ming asked the mercenary guild to carefully screen them, and most of them were eliminated.
Although the mercenary union in Van Xi County is also a relatively powerful snake, it has a wide range of connections, can contact many mercenaries, and has friendships with many nobles, and the common people will definitely not be able to provoke them.
But in front of a great aristocrat like Luo Ming, they are just tools that must show their use value in order to continue to exist.
Of course, the mercenary unions have branches all over the mainland, which is quite remarkable, but the branches in each region are not really much united - the reality does not allow them to be very united.
If the mercenary unions of the whole continent can unite, then what is the repayment? Is such a large force united to prepare for a rebellion?
It's not Luo Ming's turn, and other grand dukes, kings, emperors and the like will be the first to strike and uproot them.
Moreover, the mercenary union is really vulnerable in the face of the regime.
The mercenaries they can contact are not organizations with hundreds or thousands of people like the Jiaertai Mercenary Group - this kind of large organization does not need to find business through the intermediary of the mercenary union, after all, the mercenary union also charges a fee to act as an intermediary - basically a few or a dozen stragglers.
This kind of stragglers are actually quite similar to the so-called martial arts masters on the earth, they may have unique skills and can exert good strength in small-scale battles, but in large-scale battles, they don't know how to order and prohibit the cooperation with the legions, and they are completely scattered.
For example, Luo Ming was confident that he would defeat three hundred such mercenaries with a hundred elite soldiers, and he would suffer minor damage.
Therefore, after receiving Luo Ming's order, the people of the mercenary union began to work overtime to conduct the review, and even the president even wrote a special letter, saying in a very humble tone: "Thank you for entrusting us with such a glorious task, I am sincerely afraid, and it is a great honor."
