Looking at the town of Manbach at night, even if there is not much light, it is relatively wilderness, and staying inside can make people feel more at ease.

You don't have to worry about the 'hunters' who suddenly appear, and you don't have to worry about the weird people coming to the door, you can sleep soundly.

There are guards on the city walls, and there are alarms for the loss of defenses, compared to the wasteland, this is heaven!

"A rotten, dirty, stinking, pathetic and deplorable world." Li Yinguang suddenly muttered to himself, and then shook his head with a wry smile, the problem is that he will stay here and never go back.

In the evening, in the 'black-hearted grocery store' in the slums, Li Yinguang didn't see Old Man Zhou, and he didn't know if the old man was deliberately hiding or really went out and didn't come back.

Whether Old Man Zhou betrayed himself or not, I won't mention this next to me, because it is meaningless, and it is difficult for human nature to be tested, especially in front of interests.

The matter of Scarface was uncomfortable and at the same time reminded Li Yinguang that in this world, only when you are strong enough can you make rules.

In other words, if you want to change the world, the first thing you need to do is to be strong, strong enough to coordinate all parties, no one dares to resist, you can draw rules and make your own rules.

Before you are strong, you can only succumb to yourself to adapt to the current world and follow the rules set by the strong people in this world.

"Dignity is only above the edge of the sword, and truth is only within the range of the cannon!"

After the Castle Iron Armor City successively devoured the 'Butcher', 'Steel Tooth', 'Big Mao', 'Xiao Mao' and 'Eagle King', although the deck, smelting furnace, and near-range weapons have been upgraded, it is many times stronger than the original, and similarly, the shortcomings of the Castle Ironclad City are also obvious!

In terms of staffing, there is a shortage of the Castle Iron City.

With the current scale of the 'Castle' ironclad city, in terms of combat power, it is obviously not enough to rely on Saipan and a dozen old men to command dozens of slaves.

A confrontation may not be able to bear it.

When the ironclad city is upgraded to a certain size, the mechanized corps is an indispensable configuration, and troops are needed for charging, attacking, besieging, and clearing battles.

The combat power of the conventional mechanical corps on the Castle is not weak, and this aspect must be improved.

There are only two kinds of manpower recruitment, town recruitment and hire, and slave purchase.

前者好处显而易见，战力可以得到保证，比如说‘机械暴徒’，‘佣兵’都有自己的打法与武器，甚至很多时候都不用提供机械，人家都自备好了，只要有银牛币和食物就可以。

The disadvantages are also very big, thorns, disobedience, difficult management, strong mobility, responsible for the personnel situation, etc., if it is used for a short time, the problem will not be very big, if these people are left in the ironclad city for a long time, the combat power can indeed be improved in a short time, and the hidden danger is really big.

Replenishing slaves is also a more common method, the advantage is that it is cheap and simple, and the disadvantage is that the combat power is messy, and many times it does not play a big role, and it takes a long time to fuse with the ironclad city to form combat effectiveness.

It is equivalent to cultivating manpower by yourself, and the advantage is that you have a sense of belonging to your own ironclad city and have a high degree of loyalty.

In addition to combat personnel, maintenance personnel, professional dismantling personnel, medical personnel, weapons specialists, armor specialists, smelting furnace maintenance personnel, etc., basically the above personnel, the Kasbah is lacking.

In terms of core personnel, there are barely only the butlers Goda, Irma, Buhe, Saipan, Sophia, Lan Ling and others in the Castle Iron City who can be regarded as middle and high-level management.

Xiaoman and Kuroko are still young, unless they have to do it as a last resort and when no one is available, they are usually reluctant to let them go out and fight with others.

Li Yinguang sighed and smiled bitterly.

"Low-key is a quality, and rampant life will not last long!"

Secretly warn yourself that you can't be arrogant, otherwise you will be easily killed. The earth is low for the sea, and the people are king, and they must not be rampant!

Building a high wall, recruiting good, and slowly becoming the king is the outline!

"What are you thinking?"

Lan Ling walked up to Li Yinguang and asked softly.

Li Yinguang shrugged his shoulders with a wry smile, and said helplessly: "Worried, all kinds of worries." As he spoke, he patted his chair and motioned for Lan Ling to come over and sit beside him.

Lan Ling looked like an ice beauty, hesitated, but still walked over and sat next to Li Yinguang.

You must know that this chair in the control room, in the past, was not something anyone could sit on if they wanted to, it represented the supreme command in an ironclad city, and only the city lord was qualified to sit on it.

If the 'Iron City' is regarded as an independent small country, then the chair in the control room is equivalent to the 'dragon chair'.

Li Yinguang didn't know what the rules were in other ironclad cities, but in the 'Ancient Castle', basically anyone could sit, and he didn't say so much.

The control is in his hands, a chair has a fart, and who can restrain it!

"You are the city lord of the ancient castle ironclad city, and you have money in your hands, what is there to worry about?" Lan Ling asked with a cold face.

Li Yinguang scratched his head, leaned sideways on her, and said with a sad face: "Aifei, I don't know, our ironclad city seems to be prosperous, but it is full of loopholes, as long as we are caught by the enemy, they can kill us." With so many people, as the lord of the Iron Armored City, am I not allowed to think about everyone's livelihood, or must I not think about everyone's future? ”

Love Concubine?

Lan Ling's face was faintly hot, facing the man who was leaning on him, he wanted to push him away and kick him away, but no, he was not only everyone's city lord, but also the man he wanted to follow, he would never give up for life, he would be loyal, it was a promise he made.

In fact, he is not as unbearable as he thinks, although many times he will show a bit of a scoundrel, greedy for money, and lustful, but in terms of right and wrong, it seems that he has never done anything wrong.

What he said about 'not giving up on anyone' is even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is also the reason why this group of 'rabble' on the Iron Armored City of the Castle is loyal to follow.

That's right, in Lan Ling's opinion, the people in the Castle Iron Armored City are a group of rabble!

With one enemy and three enemies, it is just luck to be able to clean up the 'Big Mao', 'Xiao Mao' and 'Eagle King', that's all, if he is given the same opportunity, the Castle may not be able to create this kind of result.

"Where did you serve before?"

Li Yinguang felt that it was not very comfortable to rely on her, so he simply lay on top of her, pillowed his head on her lap, and the chair was big enough that he was not afraid of falling.

Lan Ling's body was a little stiff, looking down at him, Li Yinguang was also looking at her, looking at each other, and it took about two seconds before she took the initiative to look away.

"Ninth Monitoring Point Camp!"

Li Yinguang's eyes lit up, and he asked with a smile: "What is your ninth monitoring point camp for, is it under the jurisdiction of Mambach Town?" ”

Lan Ling shook his head: "No, I don't know exactly where it is, it seems to be under the jurisdiction of the 'Grand Duke', I don't know what the Grand Duke is, we only count the personnel on the periphery of the monitoring point camp." ”

After a pause, he continued: "The job is to supervise and probe the movements on the snowy wasteland, whether there are any snow beast herds, whether there are other unknown changes, etc.!" ”

"The monitoring point is used to monitor the movement of the snowy wasteland?" Li Yinguang was stunned, this was a bit unexpected.

Lan Ling nodded: "The ninth monitoring point camp is an independent existence in the area of Manbach Town, it is not under the authority of the Manbach Lord, and it will not conflict with the forces in the area of Manbach Town, its main target is the snowy wasteland." That's all I know! ”

Li Yinguang nodded, there seem to be nobles, lords, and even more 'grand dukes', 'legions' or something, but people at the bottom of the world don't know much about these.

Even if a person like Li Yinguang has an ironclad city, dozens or hundreds of subordinates around him, and some fixed assets, if there is no accident, the area of Mambach Town is basically 'their maximum range of activities', and it is difficult to go out and go to the farther area.

The Ironclad City Lord is like this, not to mention those poor people, ordinary people, and even the so-called hunters, explorers, adventurers and the like.

In this area, the town of Manbach is the core, and it is the most envied place for small camps and small villages within a radius of thousands of kilometers around the area.

Further out, there are snowy wastelands in the north, deep forests and wildernesses in the west, mountains and heavenly streams in the east, and thousands of miles of wasteland in the south.

I still have to come back after going around and around, unless, with an ironclad city of the level of 'Diwei' in my hand, I can open mountains and build bridges when I meet water, and I am fearless!

In the wilderness, all kinds of unknown beasts, strange insects, and unguardable weirdness, the deeper you go, the more wasteland, the more dead.

And those who can go out, understand a wider area, and have more insight and vision will not share their knowledge with ordinary people.

The outside world is indescribable for people living in a frontier place like Mambach Town, and the summer insects can't talk about ice, instead of wasting saliva, it's better not to tell them anything, let them live and die here, because this area is big enough for weak people.

"Have you ever been to the Snowy Wasteland?" Li Yinguang diverted the topic and asked.

Lan Ling said: "I've been there, I used to go there often, hunting cod in the wasteland, hoarding fish oil, there will be people from outside coming to collect it, I heard that people outside like to eat these things." ”

"Fish oil?"

"Well, fish oil is actually more expensive than cod spinal cord, but the premise is that it can be sold."

Lan Ling seemed to be afraid that Li Yinguang would not understand the key, and explained: "'Cod Dragon Marrow' is useful for human cultivation, and it can also be used to refine medicine, and it is a good material in the area of Mambach Town, but outside, there are more materials of the same level like this, so there is nothing unusual, and the price is only a few times higher than that of the area of Manbach Town. The fish oil of Wasteland Cod is cheap to buy, the quantity is large, and the profit is extremely considerable, but not many people know about it, and most people sell the fish oil as part of the fish! ”

Li Yinguang nodded: "The person who bought the fish oil came in from outside, right?" ”

"Yes!"

Lan Ling nodded and said calmly: "But those people rarely come into contact with us, and they only receive the goods...... At most, find a woman to solve the physiological problem, give some silver cows, and will not stay too long before leaving for another monitoring point. ”

"Many of the children in the welfare home are the children born to these transport ironclad city personnel and local women!"

Li Yinguang didn't ask about her parents' situation, these things are not important, compared to what she said, Li Yinguang is more concerned about where the ironclad city that came to the Mamanbach town area to buy fish oil came from, and where the rest of the monitoring point camps are.

Lan Ling seemed to understand Li Yinguang's thoughts, and said with a straight face: "The fish oil on the Wasteland Cod, after being dried and dried, can be stored for a long time, and basically it will not spoil if it is not damp. The Ironclad City, which comes to the monitoring camp to buy fish oil, only comes here about once every six to ten years. ”

After a pause, he continued: "The official personnel in the monitoring point camp will basically rotate in six to ten years, some will come, some will leave, and some will continue to stay, but those are all internal personnel in the monitoring point camp, and have nothing to do with us outsiders. ”

"Can't you leave with the Ironclad City, which transports fish oil?" Li Yinguang thought about it and asked.

Lan Ling frowned, and said indifferently: "Yes, as long as the physical strength reaches level three, the age is under eighteen, the body is intact, and the mental strength matches the physical strength, there is a recommendation from the internal personnel of the monitoring point camp, maybe it will be absorbed and taken away!" ”
