Chapter 792: The King's Path
As soon as Jackie died, the morale of the government army dropped directly to the freezing point, and the last small wave of stubborn resistance of his own soldiers also gave up resistance, and stood there in a daze in despair.
At this time, Xiao Bing had already jumped into Xiao Di's arms, carefully checking whether there were any scars on his body, Xiao Di rubbed her head and smiled: "Silly girl, don't worry, how can anything happen to your brother and me?" Don't forget that I am already a ninth-order powerhouse now, even if someone is stronger than me, I at least have the power to protect myself, let alone a mere Jackie. ”
Xiao Bing punched Xiao Di in the chest fiercely: "Less, you can obviously not give him a chance to get close to you, why should you be so careless? This time the thunder of destruction he used was just restrained by you, but you can't be so lucky every time? Besides, what if you meet those top masters, such as Sha Wuran, do you also fight with him?" Don't forget that you are no longer a free and easy scattered martial artist, there are many people behind you who have to rely on you, and the entire Shura Gang can't do without you, what do you want to do with these people, you say?"
Xiao Di knew that Xiao Bing was indeed for her own good, and she could also feel her deep affection for herself, so she was silent for a while before she smiled: "Okay, Bing'er, I promise you, don't take risks as much as possible in the future, you must take care of yourself, so it's always okay, right?"
In fact, Xiao Di still has a few words to say, precisely because he is the only ninth-order master of the Shura Gang, and the people he will face in the future are all the top people in the hostile forces, so he must also seize every opportunity to sharpen himself, even if he has to take some risks, but in the face of Xiao Bing's tears, he still can't refuse her with a hard heart.
Xiao Bing broke into tears and laughed: "Forget you, I'm helping Sister Daisy to watch you, if you want to fight hard, you have to leave at least a few to talk about, otherwise who will the Shura Gang hand over in the future?" ”
Talking about this topic, Xiao Di was even more speechless, because he had been busy with all kinds of big and small things, now although he and Josephine had already held a wedding, they had not had a chance to have a round house, and Fa Xuelian did not seem to have any signs of pregnancy, but Xiao Di was not in a hurry, there has long been a custom in this continent, the more powerful the martial artist, the smaller the chance of leaving an heir, to some extent, it is also a natural means to maintain balance, this is like the lions and tigers of the animal kingdom, if their birth rate is the same as those sheep and rabbits, the entire food chain would have collapsed。
Xiao Di had no choice but to talk about him left and right, but fortunately, Xiao Bing didn't hold on to him all the time, and at this time, Henry was very discerning to relieve Xiao Di and came over to report the gains and losses of this battle.
This time, the government army sent a total of more than 10,000 soldiers, of which the proportion of dead, fleeing, and surrendering was about the same, and the officers were no exception, and the more than 3,000 soldiers of the Shura Gang also suffered one-third of the casualties, but fortunately, more than seventy percent of them were injured, and most of them could recover as long as they slowly recuperated for a period of time.
This is also the cruelty of the battle, this battle Shura Gang has taken advantage but still paid such a big price, but this is also within Xiao Di's expectations, and only those who survive such a cruel war can be regarded as real warriors and veterans.
In addition, the baggage and equipment of the government army were naturally seized by the Shura Gang, and the preliminary inventory was about 100,000 colored crystals, and Henry and others followed Xiao Di in the heart of the molten fire and saw a big scene, such a harvest is naturally not very important, but in the eyes of those soldiers who have been staying here, this is simply like a miracle.
At this time, the rest of the high-level people also came over, everyone watched Xiao Di wait for him to determine the next plan, after this battle Xiao Di is equivalent to the entire gang has determined an incomparable prestige, everyone is full of confidence in the future of the Shura Gang.
Xiao Di thought for a while and replied: "There are three things we have to do now, the first is how to deal with the prisoners of war this time, this matter is left to Bing'er, you go and ask the prisoners this time, if there are anyone who is willing to join our Shura Gang and work with us, as long as they sign a three-year sales agreement with us, after three years, they will be free, and we will not care where we want to go in the future;
The second is to continue to develop and expand our Shura Gang and make our Red Ridge Mountain more famous, so it is necessary to advertise and promote, Feiying, you go to the business alliance of Stormwind City for me to release a message - don't be afraid to spend money, just say that our Red Ridge Mountain Kingdom will officially declare its independence from today, and anyone is welcome to come to play with us, but if you dare to be disrespectful to us, today's Jackie and the others will be their end.
Third, it is necessary to continue to develop our Red Ridge Mountain Kingdom, especially the economy, in the future, our enemies will become stronger and stronger, and there will be more and more troops, and we must have a strong standing army and stable and fast logistics supplies, both of which are indispensable. ”
Henry and the others silently wrote it down, the money is earned quickly, and the speed of spending is also flying, Henry has already roughly calculated, not to mention anything else, just according to Xiao Di's meaning, he must contact the Royal Alliance of Stormwind City to issue the highest level of announcement, the alliance will announce the official declaration of the independence of Red Ridge Mountain to the entire Azeroth continent many times a day, and the cost of this is as high as 10,000 colored crystals a day, and 30,000 colored crystals in three days.
This is exactly Xiao Di's current concept, if you have money, you must spend it as quickly as possible, so as to improve the strength and morale of the soldiers under him as soon as possible, and meet the next challenge, after all, he is now equivalent to leading the Shura Gang to challenge the order of the entire Eastern Kingdom Continent, and the matter will definitely not end so simply, there must be a lot of people who want to find trouble.
It's like a person suddenly becomes rich, the people around him don't know that his wealth is based on his own ability to work hard, will always subconsciously think that he is lucky, and there will always be someone who wants to get a piece of the pie, for these people you can only use a tougher way to beat them back, once is not enough twice, two times is not enough for five times, until these people are hurt, and the bystanders are afraid, they will willingly admit your position.
Everyone naturally has no opinion on Xiao Di's previous decision, but most people can't understand why Xiao Di spends such a large amount of money on publicity, in everyone's opinion, it is better to buy hundreds of sets of sophisticated armor or thousands of high-grade pills or enchant hundreds of pieces of equipment with this money, even if it is to buy more grain and grass to store up, only Henry Ritchie and a few others can understand that Xiao Di is to build momentum, to establish authority, and to make the Red Ridge Mountain Kingdom among the top forces in the Eastern Kingdom Continent The first step has been taken.
After returning to the headquarters, Xiao Di and Tyrande, Henry Ritchie and others went into the data room and studied carefully for several days, and finally settled on a series of means to develop the economy, such as replanning all the land, which areas were used as mining areas, which were pastoral areas, which were logging fields, which were markets, which were barracks, which were residential areas, etc., and at the same time rebuilt several main roads to connect the roads between the various areas of the entire Red Ridge Mountain Kingdom.
In addition, the Shura Gang also announced the future rules of the Red Ridge Mountain Kingdom to all residents, all those who are now in the Red Ridge Mountain Kingdom, regardless of race, age, gang, gender, as long as they are willing to be citizens of the Red Ridge Mountain, they can get a small piece of land, and at the same time have civil rights, as long as they are bullied outside, the Shura Gang can make decisions for them, of course, they also have the obligation to pay taxes and abide by the law.
The announcement of the Shura Gang also made it clear that if you don't want to be a citizen of the Shura Gang, you will never force it, but you must move out of here within a time limit, and the Shura Gang can also help provide a lot of money for the journey.
The Red Ridge Mountain Kingdom originally had a vast space, but for various reasons, there had never been a unified administrator here, so it was forcibly divided into nearly a hundred large or small separatist forces, but now it is different, maybe there were still some people talking behind their backs or waiting to see the jokes of the Shura Gang, after the defeat of General Jackie, the opposition of the entire Red Ridge Mountain Kingdom to the Shura Gang and Xiao Di disappeared without a trace overnight, so almost ninety-nine percent of the residents were happy to stay.
And after learning that the dwarven king Harden of the Danmoro Kingdom in the west and the Weiss head people of the Sorrowful Swamp Kingdom in the east have agreed to form an alliance with the Shura Gang, even the swamp races and dwarves living here have stayed with peace of mind.
Xiao Di sent out a lot of scouts from the Dark Moon Camp, asking them to contact many old friends they had made before, and invite them to come and have a look here, of course, it would be best to live here for a long time.
Xiao Di deeply understands that things such as land, money, and equipment are of course very important, but what is more important than this is talent - of course, the talents here are not limited to martial artists, such as Master Lowry, a talented enchanter, the role of the Shura Gang is definitely not less than a thousand-person team, so he attaches great importance to them, not only in terms of money and financial expenses as much as possible, but also very respectful.
You must know that Xiao Di's current identity is no longer what it used to be, it is definitely not trivial, not to mention anything else, the identity of that ninth-order martial artist alone is enough to deter most people, and he can still respect these technicians with a skill so much, these people are of course grateful, all of them are playing with their lives, and they all want to show their value in front of Xiao Di.
