A few days later, a convoy of cargo ships followed a tributary of the Seine to a steep canyon deep in the highlands.

The Grand Canyon was densely covered with countless rudimentary tents, and Arthur's forcibly recruited army was stationed here waiting for the arrival of grain and grass. These soldiers, who had been farmers, men, and burghers a few months ago, stood on the riverbank with their weapons in their arms, and watched the well-armored mercenaries of the brigade walk off the cargo ship.

Relying on the two strange treasures of the Phantom God Puppet and the Misty Sky Hanging Pendant, the nightmare pretending to be a strong human old man stood on the bow of a large cargo ship, grinning at the soldiers on the shore who did not even have the strength of a human position, and were at most sturdy men.

Spat contemptuously into the rushing river, and Nightmare pulled a tough tendon from between his teeth with his fingernails.

"Just with this group of people who were sent to death, they dare to go on an expedition to the Fourth Abyss? Hey, although the bloodline of those little guys in the Fourth Abyss is not very pure, they also have the noble blood of our evil ghost clan flowing in their bodies! Any of their teenagers has the combat power of status, and any adult is at least the strength of the peak of status or even the lower level of heaven!"

"With this group of waste, they dare to step into the fourth abyss?"

The dozens of descendants brought by the Nightmare learned from the Nightmare one by one, holding their hands in front of their chests shirtless, and looking fiercely at the Beihai army on the shore. In their eyes, these soldiers were not soldiers at all, that is, they were no different from those dwarves and dwarf slaves in the Fifth Abyss.

With the sound of sonorous armor crashing, 10,000 elite dwarven warriors and 5,000 majestic Warcraft knights stepped onto the shore from the cargo ship. They were well-armoured, murderous, and fierce, and they were several times better than those mercenaries who had just disembarked.

Lin Qi's two mercenary captains hired by the Mercenary Guild in Port Vias City stepped forward.

Barba, who was of Minotaur blood, roared loudly. Let these dwarves, who are dizzy from seasickness, hurry up and get their teams in order. And he already has the strength of a half-step holy realm. Slade, who had refined his fire-attribute fighting spirit, led those Warcraft knights to line up on a spacious flat ground in the canyon.

Barba and Slade are now the two masters of the Longshan family's private regiment, and they have brought with them 30,000 well-armed mercenaries with rich combat experience. Cooperate with 10,000 brave dwarves. Five thousand powerful Warcraft cavalry, such a force is enough to destroy all the armies of a small kingdom head-on.

Lin Qi was wearing a set of black robes and squinted on a large rock on the shore. Looking at the curious Beihai soldiers who gathered to watch. Arthur really spared no effort, the youngest of these soldiers under his command was only about fourteen years old, the older ones were already gray, and the best armor on their bodies was a tattered cowhide, and more than ninety percent of them were just wearing ordinary cotton clothes.

And their weapons, Lin Qi simply didn't bother to make any evaluations. A wooden pole was attached to an ordinary iron spear head, which was the weapon held by more than eighty percent of the soldiers, and very few even used long knives and swords. Because an iron spear head can be forged with only two catties of iron, and a knife or a sword can cost more than a dozen catties or even dozens of catties of good iron.

In order to arm this huge army as much as possible. Arthur could only do his best to reduce the equipment of these ordinary soldiers.

"Mr. Mo. What do you think of the combat effectiveness of this army?"

Hearing Lin Qi's question, Mr. Mo gently stroked and stood beside him. The hair color changed to pale gold, and her eyes also changed to light blue, and Edith's little head shook her head disdainfully: "Combat effectiveness?

Hooking his fingers casually, Mr. Mo said indifferently: "Yingang alone, when we have a cup of tea, he can kill everyone in this valley cleanly." ”

Wearing a complete set of low-grade holy weapon-level heavy armor, standing behind Mr. Mo with a look of shame on his face, it was Yingang who was captured alive by Lin Qisheng, and by the way, he also betrayed Mr. Mo's Yingang. Yingang was tossed to death by Lin Qi, and almost died several times at the hands of the four brothers who cramped and peeled the skin and knocked the bone and sucked the marrow, but under Lin Qi's deliberate control, he finally survived.

Now he has also been controlled by Lin Qi, and he has also become Lin Qi's hardcore thug.

And Mr. Mo also forgave him for the crime of betraying his information, but Yingang is obviously a straight guy, and he has never been able to forgive himself. Therefore, in the past few days when Lin Qi mobilized a large group of men and horses to go straight to the highlands along the Seine River, Yingang was cautious and conscientious to serve Mr. Mo, and tried his best to make up for the guilt in his heart.

Hearing Mr. Mo's words, Yingang suddenly puffed up his chest: "So, do you need me to kill them?"

Mr. Mo rolled his eyes, Lin Qi shook his head helplessly, and then he patted Yingang on the shoulder heavily, and spared no effort to praise him: "You are a loyal and good student, really, Yingang, you are a good man, but, uh, when I didn't say anything!"

Yingang looked at Lin Qi blankly, he didn't know where he had said the wrong thing.

With the sound of crisp hooves, the swaggering Arthur rode a pitch-black earth dragon at a rapid pace. On Arthur's side are Diogo and Esther, who also ride the Earth Dragon. Accompanying them were a group of knights of punishment who were wearing golden armor, suppressing and killing, and their mounts were also black earthly dragons.

From afar, Arthur had already spoken loudly with 100,000 points of ridicule and disdain: "Wane, Mr. Longshan, it is really beyond my expectations! The Longshan family will actually cooperate with me? This really puzzles me! If it weren't for the honorable Lady Aloes sending a letter, I really think I heard it wrong, is this a sweet dream?"

'Quack' laughed, Arthur rode quickly in front of Lin Qi, and then he jumped off the earth and hugged Lin Qi hard. His hands slapped Lin Qi's back fiercely, making a 'bang' sound. If 'Wanen Longshan' was really an ordinary old man, this random beating was enough for him to recuperate in bed for more than ten days.

Lin Qi quietly broke free of Arthur's arms, he took out a gold coin, and threw it to Arthur.

"In the face of sufficient interests, no problem is a problem!" Lin Qi said indifferently: "Our earl wants me to apologize to you, he admits that he failed in the matter of competing for Miss Esther's heart, and you succeeded!

Arthur's laughter became more and more rampant, more and more proud, he turned to Esther and smiled: "Esther, listen, Count Longshan, who once fell in love with you at first sight, he finally admitted defeat to me!"

Playing with the gold coins thrown by Lin Qi with a smile, Arthur said gently, "So, Lady Elos's words, are they true?"

Lin Qi nodded: "Lady Elos is a respectable lady, and her words, of course, have supreme credibility. The Longshan family will provide you with a part of the military expenses and rations, and even a part of the ordnance, in exchange for the fact that where your army passes, our Longshan family will conclude a commercial trade contract with those forces of the Fourth Abyss. ”

Arthur squinted at Lin Qi, he stared at Lin Qi for a long time, and then laughed wildly and presumptuously again: "Oh, no, no, sit and wait to eat white food, this is not right, Wanne? Mr. Longshan, you can't get it for nothing!"

Lin Qi said in a deep voice: "We don't get it for nothing, we provide ......"

Arthur waved his hand, and he said in a low voice: "Oh, no, no, dear Wanne, Lord Longshan, do you think that with Miss Esther's full help, the so-called military expenses and food and grass are still a problem?"

Lin Qi really wanted to punch Arthur's high nose - Esther was now a traitor who had turned her back on the family, and she had even lost the Ten Thousand Poison Celestial Orb, how many resources could she have in her hands? If the Silver Iris family really went all out to help Arthur, would these soldiers under him still have incomplete armor and weapons?

Taking a deep breath, Lin Qi showed a warm smile: "So, Your Royal Highness, what is your opinion?"

Arthur pretended to think for a while, and then he showed a strange smile: "In the future, I should get fifty percent of the profits from all the trade gains of the Longshan family in the Fourth Abyss. You know, how much energy I spent to organize such a huge army!"

The corners of Lin Qi's mouth twitched, such a huge army? Look at those peasant soldiers who don't even have armor and hold wooden sticks in their arms, are they also soldiers? You really have spent a lot of energy on these troops! Fifty percent of the profits? How dare you open your mouth!

After being silent for a while, Lin Qi said in a deep voice: "Liangcheng, this is a ...... that the family can accept."

Arthur interrupted Lin Qi's words: "Don't say anything about the limit that the family can accept, so let's give me thirty percent of the profit, just settle it down, I don't want to waste time on this little benefit, if you agree with my opinion, we will sign the covenant, if you don't agree, then, please go back to Berelli obediently!"

Lin Qi looked at Arthur in astonishment and shock, he was silent for a long time, and then he smiled bitterly: "You are really a qualified big businessman, then, as you wish, Your Royal Highness, you have thirty percent of all the profits obtained by the Longshan family from the Fourth Abyss Trade!"

Stretching out his hand, Linzi and Arthur shook hands vigorously.

Arthur couldn't help but laugh a few times when he saw that his blackmail had been rewarded very richly, and then his attention turned to the mercenary team brought by Lin Qi. His eyes flickered over the five thousand elite Demon Beast cavalry, apparently composed of Easterners, and then nodded earnestly.

"The Longshan family is friendly with Duke Lvsen, it seems to be true, this is Duke Lvsen's descendant troops, right?"

"Then, they must join the attack on the Fourth Abyss, this is my last condition!"

Lin Qi sighed, and 'helplessly' accepted Arthur's last condition.
