Chapter 717: Subduing the Mercenary Group
Seeing Nadal Henry Gru and others, either calm, or chic, or heroic, all of them seemed to be heroes in their own right, Gattuso and others couldn't help but be shocked again, and now they knew that Xiao Di dared to call out that the powerful government army was not completely hot-headed based on hatred, and indeed had his own confidence. E』.%
At this moment, the high-level of the entire Shura Gang is equal to gathering here, Xiao Di began to assign the next stage of tasks, and now it is easy to reach an agreement with the government army, this year must not be wasted, Xiao Di's plan is to use this year to include the entire Chiji Mountain into the Shura Gang's sphere of influence.
The battle between forces is not as simple as a duel between warriors, military, financial, manpower, material resources, etc. are indispensable, a sufficiently vast field and stable logistics are indispensable, although the terrain of the Red Ridge Mountain Kingdom is complex, the races of life are numerous, and the beliefs are even more chaotic, but fortunately, the territory is vast, once it can be unified and ruled, the potential for development is still very large, of course, this difficulty is not small.
After consulting with Gatto Soteland and other figures who were very familiar with the various situations in the Red Ridge Mountain, Xiao Di finally formulated the following strategic guidelines.
The situation of Red Ridge Mountain is different from that of most kingdoms, in general, there are three major forces, the first is the mercenary group, their sphere of influence is all over the Red Ridge Mountain, but they mainly control the north, and the second is the five families of Noxus, whose sphere of influence is relatively small but concentrated in the most prosperous central area.
The third force is the loose alliance of the rest of the races dominated by orcs and dwarves, they usually have a lot of internal contradictions, but once they encounter the external oppression of humans, they will be together, their sphere of influence is the largest, almost all over the west and south of the Red Ridge Mountains, but most of them are remote places, and they are often more primitive clan management methods linked by blood.
There are also some small forces, their situation is more complicated, some are a little financial, some are masters, some are a lot of fierce soldiers, anyway, they are not on the table alone, but they are not bad in their respective regions, for these forces, it is not worth sending large troops to deal with, and it is a waste of material resources and manpower, but sending small troops must be extremely strong, and no force in the previous Chiji Mountain has such strength.
Now Xiao Di's policy is to unite the mercenary group and the five major families to suppress the third force and expel countless small forces, although the masters in the Shura Gang are absolutely suppressed, but the number of ordinary soldiers is far from enough, if you have time to operate slowly, there is a three or five years Xiao Di is sure that he can do this by relying on the Shura Gang alone, but unfortunately what he lacks most now is time, so he can only take the path that can be completed, and he will slowly adjust it in the future.
Since he had to return to the heart of the molten fire two months later to participate in the spoils sharing conference of the various forces in the Black Wind Ridge, Xiao Di decided to implement several lines in parallel, and the mercenary group was naturally his sole responsibility here; the task of suppressing the five major families was handed over to the Gattuso couple, with Nadal assisting; it was a tough battle to deal with the third force, Xiao Di let Henry and Gru jointly lead the team, Gru's strong attack aura can be fully used in large-scale field battles, and Henry's strong supply can greatly reduce his own losses.
And dealing with those small forces is a trivial and complicated task, Xiao Di arranged for Xiao Bing to take Fa Xuelian and Li Qi Ruiwen as a team to deal with it, just as a training for them, after all, in Xiao Di's future planning, the three of them have a very important position, but they are too lacking in strength and combat experience, and it is very necessary to exercise well.
After assigning the task, Xiao Di went out immediately, for the convenience of his actions, he didn't bring anyone, first found the nearest mercenary group station, and asked them to inform the big boss Zhao Xin, Xiao Di quickly whipped up and went straight to the headquarters of the mercenary group.
At this time, the team of the government army has withdrawn from Chiji Mountain, and the high-level leaders of the mercenary group are finally relieved, these plague gods are really easy to invite and difficult to send away, if they are allowed to stay here for a few more months, the territory of their mercenary group will be robbed, according to the various large and small information they have, it is mainly Xiao Di who can send them away.
At this time, they suddenly received a message from a station from the teleportation array, saying that Xiao Di was going to come to them in person, and there was a small commotion in the house, the last time Xiao Di just suppressed Sun Yu's house through the light and shadow array, and the scene made them remember it vividly, and now Xiao Di wants to come over in person, to say that they are not nervous, it is absolutely fake.
Discussion and discussion, they didn't know what Xiao Di's purpose was, and in the end, Zhao Xin took the idea, anyway, go and welcome Xiao Di in first, although they also did some things to be sorry for the Shura Gang in the early stage, but after all, they didn't personally participate in it, and they helped Xiao Di a lot in the later stage, for the sake of this situation, Xiao Di shouldn't be too embarrassed for them, right?
Although they didn't admit it in their mouths, their actions undoubtedly showed their true mentality, not long after receiving the news, they all waited outside the door early, and they didn't see Xiao Di coming until the sun went down, but no one dared to have the slightest dissatisfaction, they were still full of smiles, and they were all kind like birthday stars.
Xiao Di jumped off the horse and let them go to take care of the good life, in order to hurry he brought three horses over, one was tired and immediately changed to the other, so after coming here, the three good horses were also tired and almost foaming at the mouth.
After everyone welcomed Xiao Di into the hall, after a few words of greeting, Xiao Di immediately said straight to the point: "Boss Zhao Xin, you are in charge, you are welcome, the purpose of my coming here is very simple, that is, to persuade you to be loyal to me, I don't know what you think?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, they didn't expect that Xiao Di had so much higher requirements for them just because they hadn't seen them for a few days, before they just let their mercenary group remain neutral, but now they are completely asking to be his subordinates.
It's just that they also understand that Xiao Di, who almost single-handedly forced Hart and the others to retreat, definitely has the confidence to say this - you must know that it is an eighth-order martial artist, and it is also the best in it, although there is no information to indicate whether there has been a battle between them, but Xiao Di grabbed George and the others alone But the evidence is conclusive, he is definitely an eighth-order martial artist, which is already god-like and unattainable for a group of them fifth-order and sixth-order people.
Seeing that they were all talking about it, and Xiao Di didn't urge, Zhao Xin smiled bitterly and said, "Xiao Di, my lord, this matter is very important to us, can you let us discuss it?"
Zhao Xin habitually called Xiao Di's name at the beginning, but as soon as he said it, he felt that it was inappropriate, and immediately added another adult, but it still sounded very weird.
Xiao Di smiled slightly: "Please, you just don't exist for me, just discuss it casually, just give me an answer within three days." ”
After speaking, Xiao Di stopped talking, sat there and slowly began to taste tea and eat snacks, Zhao Xin and they didn't dare to leave, so they began to discuss in a whisper next to them.
Although Xiao Di said that he could wait for them for three days, Zhao Xin and they were not stupid, who would dare to let Xiao Di sit here for three days, they discussed it after just over an hour, and Zhao Xinlai and Xiao Di confirmed.
Zhao Xin cautiously asked, "Lord Xiao, we want to ask, if we join the Shura Gang, how are you going to arrange for us?"
Xiao Di said calmly: "Boss Zhao, I understand your concerns, I am worried that I will annex your mercenary group, and then divide it, and finally let you be cannon fodder, you can rest assured, after you come over, I will arrange an independent team for you, and all the officers will also be arranged by yourself, I will only send a few officials to assist you, and in the future, all of you will be responsible for the food and equipment of our Shura Gang, so you don't have to worry as much as before." ”
Zhao Xin and the others were relieved a lot when they heard this, Xiao Di did this is tantamount to treating them as a regular army to co-opt, so that although they are not as free as before, but they also have an extra guarantee, after all, the mercenaries live a life of licking blood with knives, most of them are just money, and there are always a few people who are really like Xiao Di back then who purely exercise their abilities.
Zhao Xin asked again: "This is the best, but Lord Xiao, you also know that there are still many people in our mercenary group who are used to going alone, what if they are not willing to join the Shura Gang?"
Xiao Di nodded: "This is simple, you can ask the brothers when the time comes, we are welcome to go if you are willing to go, and we will respect their choice if you don't want to go, and leave on your own, as long as you don't go against our Shura Gang in the future, they can stay in the Red Ridge Mountain Kingdom, and the same is true for all of you, no matter who wants to leave, I don't force it, but this is only for now, once I agree to join the Shura Gang and then I want to leave, then I can only deal with it according to the gang rules." ”
Zhao Xin and they breathed a sigh of relief again, Zhao Xin stood up and bowed respectfully to Xiao Di to show his submission: "Thank you for answering your questions, I, Zhao Xin, am willing to take refuge in adults, and from now on, only adults and horses are looking forward, now I will take people to deal with the specific matters of joining the Shura Gang, and I will also ask the gang leader to send someone to supervise at that time." ”
Xiao Di happily patted him on the shoulder and said: "Boss Zhao is polite, I can trust you, you just let it go, and finally remember to give me the roster and material list, everyone will be their own people in the future, you don't have to worry about other people's bullying, as long as I, Xiao Di and the Shura Gang are still there, you don't have to look at other people's faces, okay, I'm leaving, you guys are busy." ”
After saying that, Xiao Di got up and left directly, Zhao Xin and the others hurriedly stood up and sent them off, until Xiao Di's figure was far away, they could only breathe a sigh of relief, and a few people with poor strength simply sat on the ground and gasped, they usually rarely even encounter seventh-order martial artists, let alone eighth-order ones, the pressure Xiao Di gave them was too great, it felt completely like getting along with a dragon, without a trace of security, I don't know when it will become a snack.
ps: Speaking of mercenaries, I suddenly remembered the "Mercenary World" I watched many years ago, which can be regarded as the precedent of opening YY flow, hehehe.
