Chapter 114: Cooperation with the Mercenary Guild

While the mercenaries were in doubt, Leon looked at the first visitors to Thrall with interest.

For more than two months, he led thousands of troops of the Hammer Tribe to build day and night, starting from the first cornerstone to the current small city beginning to take shape, I don't know how much hard work has been put into the middle.

Although the city of Saarland is far from perfect, and many facilities have not been built, everyone has their own houses and has begun to live a stable life.

Today, the city of Leon's hard work and hope has finally been discovered by outsiders - and that's a good thing!

"Welcome, mercenary friends from afar!"

Leon threw the rough log on his shoulder to the side, and said with a smile: "I am Leon, Lord of Sal. ”

The mercenaries were almost all stunned.

They had never seen such a noble lord before, and in the usual impression, those local lords lived in luxurious mansions, and they were full of grandeur when they came and went, and it was difficult for ordinary people to get close to them.

Where is there a person like Leon, who casually and kindly comes up and takes the initiative to greet them and welcome them.

Eli's reaction was the quickest, and he immediately saluted, "Hello, Lord Leon!"

"My name is Eri, we are free mercenaries from Glay City, please forgive me for taking the liberty of entering your territory!"

At this time, the other mercenaries all woke up from a dream, saluting and introducing themselves.

"There's nothing presumptuous about it..."Leon waved his hand and smiled, "You are the first guests of Sal City, come, let's sit down in the tavern, I invite everyone to drink!"

He turned his head and shouted at the soldiers who had stopped, "All disbanded, rest for a day today!"

The warriors of the Thunder Beast Battle Camp couldn't help but cheer, and they scattered violently, and in the blink of an eye, they all ran away.

During this time, while participating in the construction of Thrall City, the Thunderbeast warriors had to strictly complete the physical fitness and combat training set by Leon every day, except for going out to hunt.

Today is stained with the light of Ellie and others, and it can be regarded as a precious day of rest.

There is only one bar in Sal City, and the usual customers are basically thunderbeast warriors who come at night.

Since the day of the completion of Thrall, the Hammer Tribe has officially come to an end, and all of the tribes have become the subjects of Thrall, and they are also the inhabitants of Thrall.

With the exception of a thousand Thunderbeast warriors, the shops and farms outside the city absorbed all the other adult people, allowing everyone to have their own job.

Leon distributed the salaries of the warriors, and gold, silver, and copper coins began to circulate in the city, and the pattern of large tribes distributing according to their needs no longer existed.

Although many people were not used to it at first, gradually everyone accepted the new way of life, and after adapting to it, they did not want to go back to the original.

After all, life is much better now than it used to be.

The owner of the bar is none other than Fat Richard, the head chef of the original tribe, who has no business in the morning, and he is very comfortable lying on the chair basking in the sun, falling asleep and drooling for a long time.

"Get up!" Leon woke him up, "There's a guest coming, give each of us a glass of ale and a few snacks!"

Fat Richard turned over and stood up, rubbed his eyes and shouted in surprise: "Wow! There is actually a guest coming, Lord Leon, please wait a moment, I will do it immediately!"

With his fat buttocks, the fat chef of the pig descent ran to the kitchen behind him like a rabbit with an arrow.

Now that all the people are at home, he no longer needs to work hard for the food and drink of the entire tribe, except for supervising the food in the war camp, and can focus more on his own bar.

This is also the reward of Leon for his dedication and dedication.

Leon beckoned seven mercenaries to sit down at the wine table, and the white foaming ale was quickly served, one of them just a glass.

The ale is brewed in the bar, and because it consumes valuable grain, it is not much and expensive, but when the farmland outside the city is harvested, the situation will definitely improve.

This is also due to the wisdom of Elder Munstan, who ordered a batch of high-quality grain seeds from the gray camel merchants at a high price during the period when Leon led the people to explore the territory, so that the farmland that was later reclaimed would not be left without grain to grow.

A glass was enough, and the mercenaries were no longer inhibited, and they were very touched by LΓ©on's hospitality, knowing that usually those nobles would never look at them more, let alone sit together to drink and chat as equals as they do now.

When Leon understood the reason why the mercenaries entered the Sal Territory, he smiled and said, "Actually, you can go to the material shop in front of you first, there should be the mission items you need, and the price is definitely not expensive!"

"As the first visitors to Saarland, whatever you buy, I will ask them to give you a discount, of course, only today!"

Since the day the construction of Thrall began, Rock Hammer, Rose, and Concordia have led teams of Thunderbeast warriors into the mountains and forests of the northwest, hunting a large number of beasts and monsters, and gathering countless materials.

All these valuable materials are now stored in the warehouse, and Leon has taken precautions to have people open a special material shop for sale, just waiting for the day when others will come to the door.

And such a good thing? The mercenaries couldn't sit still, and they couldn't wait to rush to the store to make a big purchase.

Even if it's not needed for the task, buy it and take it back to Glai City to resell it, and then you can make several times the profit, and this money is really not too happy!

"Don't worry, with me, the store won't be closed!" Leon laughed.

Looking at the itchy appearance of the other party, he was secretly snickering in his heart.

Known as the Savage Land, Thrall is too closed to even mercenaries who are accustomed to adventuring around, and if Thrall wants to become prosperous, it must establish connections with the outside world and find ways to attract people here.

Profit is the real surname of people, and now these mercenaries have been given some benefits and sweetness, and they will come back soon, and when the news spreads, then there will be more and more people who come to pan for gold.

"Ellie, there's one more thing I'd like to entrust you with to help with. Leon said.

Ellie's expression was as shrewd as he certainly understood that Leon's benefits were not taken for nothing: "Please say, as long as we can do it, there will be no problem!"

"It's not a dangerous thing, it's easy for you..."Leon smiled and said, "I hope that when you go back, you will be able to explain the situation here to your mercenary guild and convey my wishes." ”

"I hope that the Mercenary Guild can establish an office in Sal City, so that this place will become a stronghold for mercenaries, and all mercenaries can freely hunt and gather in my territory as long as they pay a fee!"

This idea was not an impromptu idea of Leon, but was well thought out, once the mercenary union established an office in Saarland, then the rich natural resources of Sal Ling were bound to attract a large number of mercenaries.

For Leon, he doesn't care that the beasts and monsters in the territory are hunted down by people, and many valuable materials are collected and dug up, which is seriously an opportunity for Sal Ling to develop, and attracting mercenaries is the best way to drive popularity.

As long as a large number of mercenaries come in, it will definitely lead to the prosperity of catering, accommodation, weapons and equipment, and so on.

Collingworth currently has a dead blockade of Thrall's territory, prohibiting all caravans from entering the border between the two realms, but Viscount Melle is able to stop the merchants, but not the mercenaries.

The free passage of regular mercenaries is clearly recorded in the kingdom code, which offends the mercenary union, and the ten viscounts can't resist it.

Leon wants to use the power of the mercenary guild to break the blockade of Collingworth, and he can even trade directly with the mercenaries to buy all kinds of materials needed for the territory.

And if the merchants of the Grei region and even the southwestern provinces were to notice the business opportunities that existed in the Sal territory, it would be strange that Viscount Merle would be able to continue his blockade strategy.

Of course, this is only part of Leon's plan, in order not to be controlled by others, he also plans to organize his forces to go north to open up a trade route, and establish trade in the Iron Fort area and even the western provinces of Xinjiang.

When Thrall has accumulated enough strength, Leon will have to cross the Nucang River south again and fight a few more battles with the elves!

Compared to the goal plan in Leon's heart, what is the benefit, you must know that the most precious thing in the Sal Territory is not the Warcraft material, but the endless mineral deposits buried in the mountains.

The prospecting team led by Rubin found no less than ten deposits in the mountains around the basin alone, and one of them was in the city of Saarland, which was very convenient to mine.

These mineral deposits are undoubtedly the source of wealth for Sal Territory for decades or even hundreds of years to come, and if that Earl of Astin knew the value of this territory, I am afraid that his intestines would be repentant!

"Really?" said Ellie, taken aback.

Where is this Leon asking them for help, it is simply a gift to them!

The mercenary union is extremely keen on opening up new strongholds, because each local stronghold is an extension of the union's power, they didn't know about the existence of Saarland before, and once they knew, they would take the initiative to come to contact them without Leon proposing.

And now, if Avery and the others return to Glay to report to the union with Leon's wishes, a real credit will fall on their heads.

It's a pie from the sky!

"No problem, absolutely no problem!" Ellie nodded desperately: "Lord Baron, please rest assured, we will definitely convey the news back to Glay as quickly as possible!"

"Here, let's have a drink!"

Leon laughed and raised the wine glass in his hand!
