"Just now, my promise to the Cangxi Mercenary Group also applies to everyone here. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info" Lin Lei understated and threw out another bombshell: "As long as it is a mercenary group that has served Lei City for a long time, once the scale reaches the standard for promotion, you can first advance the funds required for the elixir of the head of the group to advance and solidify from me." ”

These words are undoubtedly the temptation of the devil, the boss present was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, all of them were like deer, and their eyes were wide open and looked at Lin Lei, for fear that they had heard it wrong.

It is very common for nobles to support the mercenary group they fancied in the Western Regions, but it is only to give long-term exclusive cooperation.

For example, defending the city, fixed-route trade protection, these long-term stable and lucrative tasks are enough for the entire mercenary group to develop rapidly in stability.

Basically, the development of a nobleman must be accompanied by the rise of a mercenary group, which is already a well-known thing, otherwise, with the poor bastard of the dead ghost Lin Xiong, who is already a second-level scale, he will not want to let Cangxi, who is already a second-level scale, accept the commission that even the deposit is short.

A mercenary group with a little less bad reputation and a little bit of scale, if it can get such a popular mission, it can easily attract those small groups to join, such as Backfire, according to the general practice, after the city stabilizes, it will gradually be annexed by the rhino.

The big mercenary group, some of them use means to suppress the small mercenary group, and if they are unwilling, they will definitely get out.

However, it is unheard of for a person like Lin Lei to directly lend money to a mercenary group to help the head of the regiment advance.

According to the regulations of the mission guild, there are two most basic criteria for the level evaluation of a mercenary group, one is the size and strength of the members, and the other is the solidification level of the group leader.

For example, for a second-level mercenary group, the leader must be at least level six, and have the required number of fifth, fourth, and third-level members respectively, and the total number of members must also reach the scale of 5,000, all of which are indispensable.

In addition, a mercenary group will also be considered, how many missions it has gone through, how much reward it has received, the ratio of success and failure of the mission, whether there have been recent violations, etc.

But these are easy to achieve, except for violations that can only be eliminated by time, everything else can be very boring, just spend a little money to brush the task, these are almost semi-public things.

Among them, the most critical and the biggest bottleneck restricting the development of the mercenary group is the solidification level of the group leader, except for cultivating honestly and buying solidified potions with the commission earned by the task, there is no possibility of doing anything at all.

However, under Lin Lei's promise, everything has become infinitely possible.

The long-term stable and well-paid mission is enough to quickly expand the scale of the mercenary group, as long as Lin Leiken agrees to advance the funds for the purchase of potions, these bosses present, including Ellie, do not have to wait for the scale to reach, they can now spend a little deposit and order the required potions first, after all, it takes a long time to order the exclusive potions.

Lin Lei did not set an upper limit for advances, so people who have not entered the water in their brains will definitely order their own exclusive potion sets in one step, as long as the combat power goes up, the money can be repaid slowly, and on the premise of owing money, the long-term employment is more secure.

"Wait a minute...... "Ellie Jie puffed out her cheeks and stood up, and said indignantly: "The scale of the first-level mercenary group is from one to fifty thousand. After our Cangxi advances to the first level, even if there are only 10,000 of them, it is completely enough to eat all the tasks in Thunder City, and you still have to get so many mercenary groups, when the time comes, where will you have so much work to do?"

Elijie's words can be regarded as offending all the bosses present, but Elijie's character, the last thing she is afraid of is offending people, not to mention, in terms of combat power and scale, Cangxi is the boss of the bosses present, who are you afraid of offending.

However, Ellie's words also reminded the bosses who are intoxicated with a bright future - everyone's scale has come up, but Thunder City is only a medium-sized city, so how to divide it up with such a task?

Lin Lei looked up at Ellie, glanced at everyone again, and then said unhurriedly: "Do you think that we will always have only one Thunder City?"

The advent of 'Ao Dai's Light' has changed the pattern of war between us and the demon dwarves, and the Tontetsu City, which has 50,000 warriors, has fallen, and the Thunder City, which has only 10,000 warriors, is standing, which is the best proof of this.

In the future, I will also work on the continuous improvement of 'Ao Dai's Light' to make it a magical equipment that can be used by ordinary mercenary warriors.

Magicians are not omnipotent, but, magic, should be omnipotent, magic that only magicians can use, not real magic.

For those of you who are not magicians, you can also solidify powerful magic into yourself, and the same is true for what I want to do, creating magic that ordinary people can benefit from, which is the most important thing for a real magician to do.

I want to make our Thunder City warriors, the sword and shield point out, the demon dwarves flee from the wind, we will no longer need to rely on the city wall to defend a city, the entire magic rune forest, is an area where we can crisscross freely.

Our future is not a small thunder city, we want to build an endless city in this boundless talisman forest.

Our future is to open up a fifth domain of our empire, which should be called ...... Minefield. ”

It was nearly noon, the gate of Lei City was wide open, and a group of soldiers dressed in special light armor for reconnaissance and with a small bag on their backs walked out of Lei City and spread out in all directions, with a group of three people, each of whom sank into the jungle around Lei City.

They are all at least third-order solidified warriors among the existing mercenaries in Thunder City, and in the entire Thunder City, all those whose strength has reached the third order and above, including the bosses of all mercenary groups, are all dispatched at this time.

The task assigned to them by Lin Lei was to thoroughly search the ten kilometers radius of Thunder City before it got dark, and find out every possible passage to the dungeon.

In the small bag on their backs, there is a small furball made of local plants, and when lit, it will produce a very thick smoke, which will be thrown into the suspected cave, and as long as you observe the direction of the smoke, you can know whether the cave entrance is a dead cave or an underground cave.

This method has been used by humans for countless years, and almost every mercenary understands it, although it may not be 100% accurate, but it is easy to understand, and anyone can use it.

As night fell, all the mercenaries returned to the city safely, and none of them were attacked by the demon dwarves, and no sign of demon dwarf activity was found.

In this case, it means that the city territory where Lei Cheng is located can already be assessed as a third-level safety zone, and this area does not belong to the active area of the demon dwarves, which is relatively safe during the day, and the third-level solidified warriors can move freely outside the city, and the second-level warriors, in the case of forming a team, can also go out of the city.

As for the combat power of the first level of solidification and below, unless it is the kind of old city that has existed for more than 20 years and there are other cities within 20 miles of it, it is not allowed to go out of the city alone at will.

Level 3 security zone, this is already the highest level in the history of this newly built city, when it was still Lin Liucheng, the dead ghost Lin Xiong did not dare to do such an evaluative detection at all, except for the bosses of the mercenary groups, no one dared to go out of the city alone casually.

However, Lin Lei was not satisfied.

After the night completely enveloped Thunder City, Lin Lei left Thunder City alone, and patrolled through them one by one according to the locations marked by the mercenaries on the map.

This night, within a radius of ten miles around Lei City, earth-shattering explosions sounded from time to time, blowing up many places, and the entire range of hundreds of meters collapsed several meters, and even shook the bosses of the mercenary group who had worked all day to the ground, and they were convinced.

Yes, Lin Lei is so "better than a leisurely stroll", walking through the cave passages one by one, as long as Nina can sense the breath of the demon dwarf's activity, then regardless of the thirty-seven twenty-one, all of them will be rewarded with a fire god demon crystal to enter.

With such a way of playing, even if there are really demon dwarves hidden in the cave passage, I'm afraid that after the first explosion, they will hide back in the underground lair, and more than 20 fire god magic crystals will be thrown out, and it will be impossible to kill a few demon dwarves, most of them will just hear a sound,

Millions of gold coins, just to make a sound? I'm afraid that in the entire history of the empire, there is no such a loser.

But Lin Lei just wants to let the demon dwarf, as well as thousands of mercenaries up and down Lei City, know that I, Lin Lei, can be so extravagant and wasteful, Lao Tzu is rich, that is, rich is rich, Lao Tzu can stone you to death with money, if you are not afraid of death, you will try it, you dig a channel, I will blow one, see if you dig fast, or I blow up fast.

With such a fuss, if it weren't for the fact that Lei Cheng was still a lonely city, it could already be assessed as the standard of a first-class safety zone, and a first-level solidified soldier could also go out of the city alone at will.

In the early morning, facing the morning light, Lin Lei, who had a smooth head, jumped down from the city wall, looked back at the newly changed word "thunder" on the city gate, turned around, and slowly walked towards the northwest.

In this direction, the nearest city was supposed to be Citizen, but this once the largest city within a radius of 100 miles has disappeared along with the red clouds in the sky, and the place where Lin Lei is going is a city about twenty miles away from Citizen, Andriol Castle.

The scale of Andriol Fort is no smaller than that of Afte, and more than ten years ago, it was also the largest city at the forefront of the Western Regions, with a full 60,000 mercenaries stationed.

However, after the completion of the Atom Railway, the Antle Fort is actually in its protection line, according to the custom, the security of the city territory will be raised to the second level of security, and the city lord no longer needs to bear the full number of mercenaries stationed, and then, most of the mercenaries were transferred to the Citizen to garrison, and the Antle Castle only left less than 20,000 basic troops.

If it weren't for the fact that Andriol Fort had no troops to reinforce, Citizen would not have fallen at dawn.

Andriol Fort is behind the side of Atom Rail, and Atom City, Thunder City, forming a long triangle shape on the map, the direction chosen by Lin Lei is not straight to Antle Castle, but straight to Aft Iron.

The most important thing at present is to open up the forest passage with Andriol Castle, so as to provide a lifeline that can be quickly returned for subsequent supplies, trade exchanges, and troop exchanges.

A medium-sized city, the passage connecting the big city, according to convention, is a five-meter-wide paved road, which can be used by cars. The biggest problem in building such a forest passage is that it is necessary to cut down countless hugging giant trees, and a hundred third-level mercenaries, who can be repaired about 200 meters a day when they work at sunrise and rest at sunset.

Cutting down trees and paving roads was originally the lowest level of strength work, and the first-level solidified mercenaries were fully competent, but to build a life passage through the two cities, it was necessary to pay the price of a third-level solidified warrior before anyone would be willing to accept such a job - only a third-level solidified warrior could still evacuate safely in the event of a sudden attack by the demon dwarves.

And like the long passage that runs through Thunder City and Andriol Fort, which is sixty or seventy miles away in a straight line, its difficulty will increase several times, and the safety factor will not be guaranteed, and the third-level soldiers will not dare to accept it, and they will have to pay at least the price of the fourth-level solidification before anyone will accept the task.

It is precisely because the price is so expensive that the purse of the dead ghost Lin Xiong can't stand it at all, so until the mining area has output, this life passage will not have a budget.

At a normal rate, it will take half a year to build a forest passage from Thunder City to Andriburg, if everything goes well.

"Half a year?" the corners of Lin Lei's mouth twitched, and he slowly sank into the jungle leaning against the guard area under the city.

At this time, on the wall of Lei City, all the bosses of the mercenary group gathered here, watching Lin Lei disappear into the jungle from a distance, but they did not come to see Lin Lei.

"Alyssa, you say, can he really open the passage to Andriel Fort in ten days?" Ellisa asked Alyssa beside her with a suspicious expression, and after thinking about it, she added: "You say, could he be actually a wood archmage? If you can use magic to remove those trees, it's not impossible." ”

On the surface, although Ellijie looked very skeptical, in the end, she had already automatically assumed that Lin Lei could accomplish this goal, but she didn't understand the mystery yet.

"How do I know......," Alyssa shrugged, and said as a matter of course, "Anyway, he said yes, and it will do." ”

"Hey, you have so much faith in him, you girl......" Ellie leaned into Alyssa's ear and said with a sigh...... Could it be that you like him, right?"

"Don't tickle me ......"

Alyssa turned her head to avoid Alyssa and hit Alyssa with her fist and hatred, a flush on her face that she didn't know whether it was anger or shyness.

"Look, it's on fire. Elijah dodged Alyssa's pink fist and suddenly pointed in the direction of the jungle outside the city.

"He wants to burn it with fire?" Alyssa stopped playing and stared and thought for a moment: "This method is not impossible, but unless it is a tenth-level fire type great magician, otherwise, the magic power is not enough to consume." ”

In the Talisman Forest, there are many varieties of trees, trunks and branches can be burned, but the leaves are almost impossible to burn. If a large tree starts a fire, it may be burned clean, but it is difficult to affect the nearby trees.

It is very difficult to start a fire in the forest, and anyone who has been in the forest for a few days knows this, otherwise, if humans want to conquer the Talisman Forest, it will be too simple, just burn it down. (To be continued.) )
