identity in place;

The mercenary group was successfully formed;

The armor is in place, and the supply of armor-piercing arrows and ordinary arrows is sufficient;

The soldiers of the two battalions had done everything they needed in one day, and they temporarily had the foundation and survivability to act in Tianbao County, which included both the power of money and the convenience brought by the chakra realm powerhouse leading the way in front, but Meteor still vaguely sensed that Tianbao County's attitude towards his group of people seemed to be a little too relaxed.

If all this happened in Sifang City, Meteor couldn't imagine what kind of disaster it would be to let two thousand armored men enter the city.

Perhaps this is a change in the temperament of the rulers of different cities. ”

When Meteor and Xiao Ying mentioned this topic, the latter felt it and said, "I have traveled to many different cities, in fact, not only your Sifang City is strictly guarded and maintains the absolute control and rule of the family over the city, but there are also some cities that are more powerful than Sifang City. ”

Later, Xiao Ying mentioned Liancheng County.

"When I followed the trading house, I went to Liancheng County, the situation there is much more complicated than Sifang City, there are many families, there are dozens of wealthy families, each city has a native ruler, for the Liancheng Shui family is very resistant, every moment is in a state of competition, whether it is taxes, weapons and equipment, city defense, mercenaries, or slaves, doormen, the competition is very fierce, so, many times, our Tianbao County trading houses prefer to go to Liancheng County to walk, and there will be a high return in terms of price. ”

“......”

Meteor's understanding of Liancheng County is very shallow, and when he heard everything Xiao Ying said, he suddenly became interested and listened very seriously.

"However, the fierce competition also has drawbacks, many families began to loot supplies in the later period, and even some mercenary groups in the city and county served these families...... When there is no money, while looting materials, while competing with other families, the contradiction is becoming more and more acute; the Shui clan has done a good job, but by the major families with the slaughter of the city decades ago, forced to avoid the original hatred, can only endlessly launch an offensive against the Sifang City, consuming the resources and strength of the Shui family. ”

“...... Do you mean that the Shui family itself does not intend to have internal friction with the Yan family? I don't believe this. ”

"I'm just saying there's this factor that pushes ...... In fact, under the impetus of many years, the younger generation of the Shui family hated the Sifang City Yan Clan in their bones! However, the people of Tianbao County have long seen that after the First World War decades ago, as long as the Liancheng Shui family continues to assassinate and attack through mercenaries, they can rely on the huge tax revenue of Liancheng County to completely crush the Sifang City, and without damaging their own main force, they will force the Yan clan to exterminate step by step, but unfortunately, it may be because of the death of Yan Yi, the Liancheng Shui family unilaterally suddenly increased the intensity of the war, so that Yan Xuan was furious and brought the gods to slaughter the city again...... As a result, it also completely angered the Shui clan, which led to the fall of Sifang City and the decline of the Yan clan. ”

Hearing this, Meteor nodded slowly.

I have a deeper understanding of the situation in Liancheng County and Sifang City.

"Why did the Yan clan and the Shui clan fight in the first place, so they couldn't be at peace with each other?

Meteor couldn't help but ask.

Xiao Ying didn't deny it:

"Tianbao County also has its own competitors, but Tianbao County's opponents are commercial in nature, and they are far from reaching the intensity of loss like Yan and Shui. ”

"Commercial nature?"

"Yes!"

"There are many commercial houses in Tianbao County, and there are many families, but the ruler of our county is not an old family, and the rule of Tianbao County is not strong, and he only manages the city defense army of each city, neither interferes with the interests of each family, nor favors any family, and there are people from major families in the city defense army, it can be said that there is no distinction between each other, as long as any family crosses the line, it will be suppressed by other families...... Our Xiao family also moved here precisely because of the good environment here. ”

"I see. ”

Meteor suddenly understood why his men and horses did not cause all kinds of fierce exclusions after entering Tianbao County.

Tempo County itself is an area that embraces countless forces.

Anyone who commits a crime in this area may be surrounded and suppressed by the major families immediately......

Therefore, the people of Tianbao County didn't care at all, and only two thousand transcendent guards fled from the territory.

While they were talking, Mu Tou and Chen Hai came back from their own families one after another, bringing good news.

Each of their families has their own teams of guards and mercenaries, but they are allowed to contact the Flame Mercenaries directly to help them if they are understaffed, and the commission will be the same as the market price.

Very good.

After Meteor thanked the three of them, he said:

"I plan to leave a group of people in the city, led by Zhang Qun, who will be responsible for the task of hiring guards for your three families, and once there is a task, Zhang Qun will know what to do. ”

After all, they are all veterans and veterans of the guard camp in Sifang City, and they have dealt with mercenaries and spirit beasts, and unless they meet a master of the chakra realm level, they can deal with the past.

"Deputy regiment. ”

Boss Zhang Qun was not happy and did not want to leave the army.

Meteor said solemnly: "Tianbao County is now our base, we must have enough understanding of Tianbao County to develop the cause of the mercenary group...... Among these big bosses under my hands, you are relatively shrewd, and I believe that you can ensure the safety of your brothers and provide us with a more stable rear at the same time, do you understand?"

"Yes!Vice!!"

Meteor then ordered a few shrewd and capable centurion chiefs to assist Zhang *** to give him 500 people, and asked Xiao Ying to help choose a mansion to be used as a temporary residence for the Flame Mercenary Group.

"Also. ”

"You must be careful of the eyes and ears of the Liancheng Shui family, Tianbao County must have their eyeliner, don't go out of the city if you have nothing to do on weekdays, try not to be alone, so as not to let the Liancheng Shui family have a chance to take advantage of. ”

"Yes, Deputy Regiment. ”

A group of people promised.

Meteor handed Zhang Qun a box of money as the cost of the event, and when everything was settled, he hurriedly left the city with the remaining more than 1,500 horses and horses, and marched in the direction of the Sunset Mountain Range under the guidance of Xiao Ying.

Along the way, I saw quite a few mercenary teams.

Compared with the desolation of the territory of Sifang City, the mercenary groups in Tianbao County are numerous, and they are strong, and they are in a hurry; when they arrive at the edge of the Sunset Mountain Range, they can see the campfire camp area where the mercenary group is camped from time to time, all of them are calm and capable, with sharp eyes, exuding a dangerous aura that people and animals should not approach, warning passers-by.

It's rare to see a team as large as the Flame Mercenary Regiment.

"Meteor, you have to be careful, the order inside and outside the city of Tianbao County is one heaven and one earth, if it weren't for the fact that the Liancheng Shui family should have been preparing to take over the territory of Sifang City, I really don't want to grab food with these mercenary teams in the territory of Tianbao County...... Fortunately, we have enough manpower, and before we expose our weaknesses, no one should come and provoke them easily. ”

Xiao Ying's reminder made Meteor suddenly realize that the so-called order and peace in Tianbao County are probably only relative.
