Tang Shi said leisurely: "Based on the interest rate of 10 yuan per thousand yuan per day, I will lend you 7,000 magic crystals, 1,000 yuan per army. Treat it fairly. If you can come back as soon as possible, the interest repayment will be less. , if you delay in returning for more than half a year, the interest will double, and if my mechanical dragon is damaged, you will be responsible for compensation."
Everyone was shocked and speechless. This girl was even more terrifying than a loan shark.
Just from the monthly interest, 2,100 yuan of magic crystals were earned, and the interest will double in half a year. This is really... a huge profit!
Seeing their ugly expressions, Tang Shi said nonchalantly: "If you find it too expensive, you can choose not to borrow it. My mechanical dragon is a treasure."
Asa looked at the other three people and saw that they were all hesitant, obviously frightened by the number.
Finally, Asa gritted his teeth and made a decision, "Borrow it! At worst, just grab some more and bring them back."
"Okay! Have fun! Jin Jue, prepare the IOU and ask them to sign and fingerprint them. If they dare to default on the debt, we will chase them to the ends of the earth."
Tang Shi took away the extra 3,000 magic crystals with a bold wave of his hand, and they distributed the rest among themselves.
Qin Lie, Long Mian and Yan Xing had already owed such a huge debt without knowing it. They had been catching flying beasts in the Luna Forest for two months and were already going crazy.
The mechanical dragon is very large. As long as there is enough energy, there is no problem for a mechanical dragon to carry hundreds of people on its back. In addition, the flying beasts captured by Qin Lie and the others are not the largest in size, but they are not small in size. , the smallest one can carry several people at the same time, and the larger one can even carry dozens of people at the same time.
In the last month, everyone worked together and captured some more flying beasts. By the time of the expedition, there were more than 30,000 people in total, and no one needed to walk or ride a land beast. They could all ride on the flying beast.
On the day when the army sets out, spring is warm and flowers are blooming, and everything is recovering. It is the best time.
Yanxu and Tang Shi led everyone to see them off outside the main gate of Xia City.
Needless to say, the leaders of the seven armies all had red eyes and flew with their soldiers in the direction of their respective responsibilities.
While flying, you can still hear their shouts.
"Brothers! Charge with me! All for the magic crystal!"
"Brothers! When you see the magic crystal, you are not allowed to let go of any of them. Even if you can't see it, you must search for the magic crystal for me!"
"The magic crystal is our main goal this time! Conquering the city is the second best! Everything is for the magic crystal—丨"
A group of confidential officials standing in front of the city gate to see him off heard their excited shouts and broke into cold sweats. They all secretly looked at the head of state and his wife. Seeing that their faces were calm, the head of state's wife even kept smiling. , seemed to be in a good mood.
An official said in a trembling voice: "Husband, husband... Mr. Tang, aren't they going to attack a few first-level cities?"
The official waited for a long time, but in the end he didn't dare to call his wife, so he had to change it to "Mr. Tang".
"Yes." Tang Shi was indeed in a good mood. He had already seen the magic crystals rolling in. They were good things. As long as there were enough magic crystals, he could buy the entire Tianluo Continent.
"But, but their goal seems... seems to be wrong..." Everyone is clamoring for magic crystals. Shouldn't they boost their morale and seize the city
Tang Shi said with a smile: "Attack the city and look for the magic crystal. It's such a relaxing and comfortable thing."
A group of officials: "..."
The soldiers who went on the expedition left, and life in Xia Cheng remained as usual. There was no change because of their departure. Not even a single person was nervous. It could be seen from the happy expressions of the head of state and his wife on the day they saw off. , this battle is not scary at all, and there will be no suspense about the outcome.
Everyone knows that with the power of their Xia City, it is more than enough to deal with those first-level cities.
Especially after Tang Shi distributed those magic crystals to those former awakened warriors, they were able to absorb energy from them. This made each of them excited. Their former power was back, and they were no longer useless. They Still a capable warrior.
Although they were not selected for this war, sooner or later they will face their own battlefield. What they have to do now is to protect their city and wait for those heroes to return in triumph.
In just one month, the good news came back. The Seventh Army almost captured seven first-level cities at the same time, and they were heading towards Leso City.
When receiving the battle report, Yanxu just glanced at it and said nothing.
When Tang Shi read the battle reports, he said it was a waste of resources, because judging from these battle reports, there was no need to send so many people. Seeing that their troops passed by, two cities even surrendered without a fight and were directly defeated by those. The huge mechanical dragon was frightened and did not want to start a fight, so he surrendered directly.
The other three cities only went out to fight twice. They understood that the disparity in power was too great, so they did not resist for too long and surrendered directly.
Only the last two cities were strong-willed. They were the City of Louis that Asa encountered and the City of Carter that Yanxing encountered. They resisted desperately and sent cavalry to Leso City and Ghana City for help. Obviously, these two first-level cities , should be a vassal city of the second-level Leso City and the third-level Ghana City, that's why they resisted so fiercely.
However, in the face of absolute power, any resistance is in vain. Before the cavalry asking for help reached Leso City and Ghana City, Louis City and Carter City had already fallen, and even the city gates were burned by the mechanical dragon's fire breath. Became coke.
Asa is a great mage, with terrifying strength. If you dare to resist him, you must be prepared to bear the consequences of his wrath.
Asa did not hold anything back and directly cast a spell to draw thunder, killing an enemy army.
Louis City was really captured. More than half of the generals who sent out troops were killed in the battle. Seeing that they were about to die, they had no choice but to surrender and save their lives first, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements.
It's a pity that Asa is not a soft-hearted person. After the surrender of Louis City, he did not leave the city owner like other cities.
Asa directly killed the city lord and imprisoned all his personal guards and confidants, making even his last sweet dream come true. However, Yanxing was not as ruthless as Asa. He just imprisoned all the prisoners. Fifteen hundred people and a mechanical dragon were left to guard Carter City in case anything went wrong.
Tang Shi had no objections to their way of handling the situation. They had conquered the city and it was up to them to decide how to deal with it, as long as the city could be stabilized and no trouble would occur.
Yanxu obviously thought so too.
This time he sent out three unreliable guys, Qin Lie, Long Mian and Yan Xing, just to train them. It was impossible for them to stay in Xia City forever. Xia City simply could not accommodate so many masters. The location is the entire Tianluo Continent.
Not surprisingly, the battle went very smoothly.
Another month passed, and news of the capture of Leso City also came back. However, after counting the magic crystals they obtained, they felt that the quantity was still too small, and it was not as much as they thought, so they thought, anyway, They had already come out, so they couldn't go in vain, so they moved the front line forward.
This time it was not a single army fighting, but seven armies joining forces. No one dared to challenge them wherever they went. They just pushed forward and conquered the city along the way.
The good news came back one by one, and Xia Cheng responded in time. After the first good news came back, Yanxu sent troops to guard the cities that had been defeated.
Until half a year later, they had captured more than twenty cities, large and small, including 6 second-level cities, 3 third-level cities, 1 fourth-level city, and the rest were first-level cities.
In just half a year, Xia Cheng's power has expanded dozens of times.
Seeing that they had no intention of coming back, Yanxu could only issue an order to let them guard the existing city and not to capture any more cities.
It's embarrassing to say that they have such strength, but Xia City does not have that many available manpower. If the captured city is not guarded by trustworthy people, it may not be safe. Before consolidating the existing power, Yanxu will He did not plan to start a war easily anymore. Even Yan Jing felt that he did not understand the request to withdraw troops at this juncture. He personally called Yan Xu to ask about the situation.
Yan Jing said bluntly: "Now, the entire northern part of Tianluo Continent has been almost completely occupied by us. There are only two fourth-level cities left. We can unify the north. Even if the front is too long and the rear supplies are insufficient, we We are also confident that we can take down these two cities in one go and then slowly make repairs. The ceasefire now will undoubtedly give them a chance to breathe. If the two cities join forces to deal with us, it will also be a troublesome matter."
"How do you know they haven't joined forces now?"
After all, this advancing war has been going on for half a year. The leader of the Seventh Army is so famous that many cities are frightened. Seeing the cities being attacked one by one, Yan Xu doesn't believe that the two fourth-level cities have not joined forces, unless They already arrogantly believed that with the strength of their single city, they could deal with the seven armies.
"If they join forces, they should be eradicated so that the north can be peaceful." Yan Jing insisted.
"I know that eradicating them will be a matter of time, but not now." Yanxu sighed: "What are the casualties on your side?"
"137 people died in the battle, 469 were seriously injured, and over a thousand were slightly injured." To achieve such a great achievement at such a price is very worthy of Yanxu's nod. It is impossible for a war not to kill people, and the damage can be controlled to this level. The level is already very good and he is very satisfied.
He also knew that the current damage situation must be thanks to the Holy Light Beads given by Tang Shi, which was equivalent to the second life of the soldiers. Just like this, 137 people were still killed in the battle, which only showed that their Holy Light Beads Someone will die when the light beads have been used up, or even the holy light beads of comrades have been donated.
"You need to organize things first, and wait until all the necessary materials are in place..."
"boom!"
At this moment, a loud noise shook the entire Xia City!
