Chapter 736: Lust for Profit
Xiao Di said calmly: "There is still a period of time in the contract between us and Count Lankao, we must hurry up and exchange all the money for materials, Henry, you are right, the next year will definitely not be calm, now we have become a thorn in the side of many people, we must have a big move, whether it is a dragon or a snake, it depends on this time." ┡E small Δ said*."
Seeing that Xiao Di was already confident, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and as soon as they heard that there was about to be a battle, Nadal Gru Feiying and even Henry, who wanted to hone themselves in the fierce battle, were all excited, and the happiest among them was Xiao Bing, her gold and silver slashes on her slender hands turned flexibly like a snake without touching her fingers at all, which made the people watching next to her heart tremble.
Although Xiao Bing has not joined them for a long time, the name of the witch or the poisonous rose has already spread, except for Xiao Di, she is almost on par with Nadal Glu, Henry and others in everyone's minds, and even surpasses it.
After all, the first two are famous silent men, and the latter's overly handsome appearance and flexible eloquence and identity as a healer make everyone look down on his danger greatly, especially after seeing Xiao Bing's ghostly and ruthless fighting style, if you have to offend one of the two of them, I'm afraid everyone will choose Henry.
After the group returned to the castle of the Shura Gang in the Black Wind Ridge, they saw that the faces of the Ta brothers who stayed here were not very good-looking, and they were all sitting there sulking, Henry hurriedly asked them what happened, and after the three of them glanced at each other, the third Taxia said angrily: " Brother Henry, haven't we expanded here by two hundred soldiers during this time, my second brother and I went to Baron Landry with money to buy some war horses and equipment, where did I know that the other party said that there was no thing, let's come back and wait for news, I asked them when they would have the goods, but they said they didn't know. ”
The second Tar also complained: "We have almost saluted them when we have said all our good words, but they have completely ignored us, and they have made great mockery of us in their words, and if I had not thought about dealing with them in the future, I would have quarreled with them a long time ago." ”
Henry and the others were stunned when they heard this, and now that the relationship with these forces in the Black Wind Ridge has fallen out, they are counting on the transaction with Baron Landry to prepare military funds, where did they think that there is a problem here, isn't it a house leak and rain overnight?
However, Henry reacted quickly, and immediately asked, "Did Baron Landry say this himself?"
Tasha said: "That's not true, we didn't see Baron Landry at all this time, they were all received by one of his butlers named Stephenson, that guy has no strength at all, but he is very arrogant, and he takes himself very seriously." ”
Henry said suspiciously: "It is said that our contract with Count Lankao has not expired, and we have been working together very happily for more than a year, so they don't need to do this to us, right? Could it be that Gundam is making trouble behind his back?"
Xiao Di shook his head and said: "This possibility is extremely unlikely, don't forget that Gundam is the younger brother of Count James, and Count Lankao and Count James have been mortal enemies for many years, I probably already understand the reason behind this, let me ask you, what is the total amount of our transactions with Baron Landry over the past year?"
None of the people thought that Xiao Di would ask about this, and they were all stunned when they heard this, but Henry immediately said: "It's about fifteen thousand colored crystals in total." ”
Xiao Di glanced at Henry appreciatively and said: "Well said, everyone must know one thing, that is, the average net income of the five major forces in the Black Wind Ridge is about less than 10,000 colored crystals a year, and our Shura Gang has made a lot of money this year due to various reasons, and even past them, this will definitely attract the attention of Baron Landry's side- If I'm not mistaken, there must be someone on their side who covets our wealth, not necessarily Baron Landry himself, but probably just some of his henchmen.
Just like Gundam and the others on the Black Wind Ridge side, they will also feel that with the strength of our Shura Gang, they are not worthy of this industry, so they plan to take advantage of it, it is more than 10,000 colored spars, even if they catch one percent, it is also a hundred colored spars, and the annual income of a baron's housekeeper is probably so much, and it is absolutely impossible to say that no one is jealous of our Shura Gang.
In the final analysis, it is still a sentence, that is, everyone does not agree with the strength of our Shura Gang, whether it is Gundam them or Count Lankao, they all feel that our strength is not worthy of the wealth we have, just like a child takes a big piece of cake, everyone wants to come and take a bite. ”
Everyone suddenly realized, Xiao Bing said angrily: "These guys are too much of a bully, brother, let me go to them and teach them a lesson, otherwise I won't be able to get out of my heart!"
Xiao Di smiled dumbly and patted Xiao Bing's head and said: "Bing'er, don't worry, you will fight in the future, but not now, our top priority now is to arm the team first, plus those elixirs and enchanted weapons, you can rely on your own strength to get a place in this Black Wind Ridge, and the rest will be said slowly, this time I will personally go to Baron Landry, and bring back those war horse equipment no matter what." ”
Then Xiao Di said to Henry: "Henry, take out all the money in our hands, this time we will buy everything at once, and we won't have to rely on them anymore in the future." ”
Henry immediately expressed his doubts: "Boss, all the money is used to buy equipment and war horses, so what about the defense of our castle? There are also various facilities to be maintained, the construction of residences, etc., that requires a lot of money." ”
Xiao Di patted Henry on the shoulder and said, "In the future, our castle will not need it, as long as our army is here." ”
Henry frowned and said, "Boss, what do you think, how can we defend without the castle? How can we protect everyone's safety? This is a symbol of whether a force is strong or not, as far as I know, there is no force that does not have its own main city." ”
Everyone also looked at Xiao Di strangely, Xiao Di patiently explained: "We have no industry and fixed income here at all, and the money and goods before are basically robbed except for dividends, so there is no point in us sticking here, on the contrary, we have fixed the scope of our activities.
Unless one day we can bring the entire Black Wind Ridge under our rule, then we will consider building the main city to protect our people, so now all the money can be used to improve the army, and there is no need to invest in defense. ”
Xiao Di actually adopted the guerrilla warfare method of those nomads in the previous life, which is undoubtedly the fastest way to improve military strength in a short period of time, as for how to rule the people and develop the economy, he has not yet had the energy to take care of it, at least after occupying the Black Wind Ridge, in a sense, the reckless military force can not be completely a derogatory term, it can still play its positive role at a specific moment, but it is certainly not a long-term solution.
Although Henry and the others didn't quite understand what Xiao Di meant, but based on their trust in Xiao Di, they didn't say much, Henry immediately took people to sort out and count, and three days later, the statistical results came out, and the Shura Gang now has a total of 800 fully armed warriors, 500 war horses, and about 15,000 colored crystals.
Xiao Di divided the team into five teams, Rock, Hurricane, Shine, Dark Moon, and Trap, which were led by five people from their team, and these teams could not only play alone, but also fight together, and could fully wield Xiao Di's command ability in the field of perception.
Nadal is under a rock battalion of 200 heavily armed defensive warriors, and Tashan is his deputy, whose role is to block the opponent's attack and protect his teammates behind him and on both sides, so their defensive ability and shield armor are excellent.
Gru's command is a Hurricane battalion of 200 archers, and Tal is his assistant, and their task is also very clear, which is to deal as much damage to the other side as possible, and the soldiers of this battalion are naturally good archers.
Under Henry's command is the entire mage army, the Radiant Battalion, which includes both ordinary attack type mages and healers, with Tasha as his assistant.
By the way, I want to mention here that unlike the paladins and priests on the alliance side of Azeroth Big 6, the shamans and druids on the tribal side, here in the demons of the Molten Heart, the healing profession is mainly a profession called war priests, and their specialties are relatively comprehensive, whether it is attack magic or healing magic, and even have a certain melee ability, although it is not very strong in every aspect alone, but it is better in practicality, and it is still terrible if the number is on the scale.
Xiao Di is very welcome to the profession of war array priest, because the tactic he is setting now is guerrilla warfare, so the ability to run and endurance are very important, except for Henry, which is different, it is difficult for ordinary priests to be competent, but war priests can easily do it, so he spared no expense to recruit, but now there is still a big gap in the number.
Then there is the Dark Moon Battalion composed of Xiao Bing's assassin team, with Flying Shadow as her assistant, their role is more to scout in front of the station and assassinate the opponent's middle and senior officers in the war, but like the healing team, this team is also not formed now.
Finally, there are two hundred heavy cavalry led by Xiao Di himself, they are the best in the whole team in terms of personal strength and equipment, of course, the task is also the most arduous and dangerous, that is, to disrupt the enemy's formation and create an opportunity for their own troops to attack.
ps: I also found a trick for my junior brother, he won't run away today, right?
