The situation is getting better day by day, because Qin Yin's nobles are sending more and more gifts, if not for expanding the palace and building more warehouses. wWw.QuAnBen-XIaoShuo.CoMRex didn't even have a place to put these supplies.
There is no need to worry about the logistics of Daliang City. Rex estimates that with food alone, he can feed the hundreds of thousands of people in Daliang City and Bone Castle for thirty to fifty years.
Sikka also served as regent in Metatrin City and issued a note to Qin Yin's envoy stationed in Metatrin City. She withdrew a battalion of troops from Mars City to support Rex's three troops in Garulan. Liancheng.
Rex's 500,000 troops are stationed in three big cities. This camp of Sika can be said to be a drop in the bucket. However, the will of the Metatlin people has been fully expressed. Mars City is the border of our kingdom. We will not continue to go south, so please don't use your brains on Rex's territory.
In this regard, Holy Rock City remained silent. Although it is different from what was expected, Rex will not continue to move westward. In this way, most of the land in Garulan will be lost. It was left in the hands of Prince Sephiroth in advance.
Rex sent some supplies to Sanlian City and transferred 20,000 people back to Sanlian City to supplement the manpower gap in Daliang City. The main force in Daliang City is close to 100,000 people.
It was not until February that a new envoy arrived, but it was from Scotia. The envoy group was escorted by a mercenary group of more than 20,000 people. Because there were too many mercenaries and they looked like elite regular troops, the defender of Daliang City did not even dare to let this envoy group enter the city.
Look at the equipment of this small mercenary group. Are they still mercenaries who are ridiculed by the regular army? Could it be that the emperor of Scotia sent a ninth-level mercenary group
Finally, the leader of the mercenary group was invited to Daliang City. Rex and Salin met this guy at the same time.
The leader of the group who entered the city alone was a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a dignified appearance and a serious face. In the palace, I met the two queens with the courtesy of mercenaries. The group leader introduced himself very formally. and presented his coat of arms.
"Your Highnesses, I am the leader of the Dragon Slaying Mercenary Group. Gu Xin, they call me Gesaiin. I advanced to Silver Sword Master last year and am getting a little older. I hope your Highnesses will take me in."
"Take it in?" Rex was a little surprised. Look at this group leader. Even though this was a silver sword master, Rex and Saleen were not afraid. Behind them stood Nicholas. Strong people like Tris and Su.
"Gu Xin, I don't understand." Salin also looked at Gu Xin with doubtful eyes. He tried to convince the Red Tiger Mercenary Group but failed. The current mercenary group outside Daliang City is definitely on par with the Red Tiger Mercenary Group.
"Maybe I'm not very good at life." Gu Xin's expression was a little gloomy, and he said: "I just hope to become a regular army of His Highness and no longer be a mercenary. Those brothers who follow me will no longer have to suffer from the nobles. I can safely rely on my own ability to support my family. I didn’t get along well with the local nobles of Skochina. Even though I roped in two eighth-level magicians, I was still kicked out of Skochina. Obtain the corresponding territory."
Gusin's description was a bit confusing, but both Salin and Rex understood it. What tempted the two of them the most was that the mercenary group had two eighth-level magicians.
Seeing Salin and Rex deep in thought, Guxin misunderstood and thought that they did not want to take in his mercenary, so he could only swallow his anger and said: "Your Highness, Downey sent me here, he must be hoping that I can help His Majesty fight, hire me mercenary group. If,"
"No, Gu Xin." Rex interrupted the leader and said, "I'm just worried about those two eighth-level magicians. What do they think?"
"Your Highness, the magicians of Scotia. Most of them are not willing to get involved with Alchemy City. If the conditions you provide are only slightly worse than Alchemy City, they will definitely be willing to stay."
Salin found it a bit funny. Gusin was not a good lobbyist because the terms he offered were too low. Saying this directly means there is no room for bargaining.
"Gusin, if your family, your mercenary group, and your family are all in Skochenya, how can you feel at ease fighting here?" Salin asked the question he was most concerned about. If the family members of these mercenaries In Scotia, one would never fight desperately for Rex.
"Your Highness, there are not too many mercenaries with families. There are about seven thousand people. I have sent them to the Kingdom of Metatrin."
Rex and Salin looked at each other. Although this Guxin was not smart enough, he still had his wisdom. Let the mercenary's family members go to Metatrin and serve as hostages. If there is any mutiny here, those family members will not be able to be saved.
This is a good condition for surrender, very straightforward. The only thing I'm worried about now is the two magicians. The magicians don't have any families. If they cause trouble, Daliang City will be doomed. However, this seems to be a contract. There are not many contract positions left in Saleen, but Rex has very few followers.
Salin continued to talk to Gu Xin, and Rex ordered two magicians to be invited to the city.
Seeing the attire and age of the two magicians, Rex vaguely understood why they were associated with the mercenary group.
The magic robes worn by these two magicians were obviously dyed with white cloth. They couldn't tell their personal faces at all. Look! Jianqiu is seventy or eighty years old. Like Hua'er. Lars is older. The magic wands in their hands must not have been replaced since they became low-level wizards, and there are still traces of swords on them.
He is really a pure mage. Even if he has powerful power, he will not rob or attach himself to any annoying nobles. But why are you willing to rely on yourself now
"Two Masters
"His Royal Highness!" The two magicians responded quickly.
"I want to know why you came to Daliang City?" "Because, His Highness's reputation." "
"reputation?"
"Yes," a magician tried his best to hide his embarrassment and said: "We two have autistic personalities and have practiced together since childhood. After the teacher passed away, we didn't walk around." Find nobles who support you. But His Highness's reputation still reached our ears. Your Highness, you will remain polite even to a first-level mage,"
"But, I am only a sixth-level mage, you follow me"
"Your Highness, you are still Glycos! We hope to become your followers, or court magicians. The two magicians have never asked for help like this, and now they have to be shameless. They are really worth every penny. Nothing. The wealth left by the teacher was almost consumed by the two of them when they advanced to become magicians. If there is no more support, they can only go and rob.
The problem is that if you go to rob, you will be shamed for the rest of your life. If the people in Alchemy City know about it, they will also come to attack.
On Salin's side, he was chatting happily with Gu Xin. Gu Xin was raised as a low-level mercenary, and he was surrounded by a group of brothers with similar temperaments.
Gu Xin started his career with twelve brothers, starting from the first-level mercenary group. In ten years, he managed to reach the sixth-level mercenary group. Because of the lack of magicians of the corresponding level, he was stuck at this level for more than two years. It was not until last year that he recruited two down-and-out magicians.
It was also his luck. These two magicians were the type who didn't know how to communicate with others, and it was not like the nobles had never tried to recruit them. But they were annoyed by their bad temper. When Guxin went to recruit, the two magicians had already begun to sell off their equipment. Guxin spent money to buy the equipment and returned it to them, and the two magicians simply joined the mercenary group.
However, Gu Xin couldn't bear the consumption of an eighth-level magician. The two of them endured it because they had a bad temper with Gu Xin.
"How come there are more than 20,000 people in the sixth-level mercenary group?"
"Your Highness, there were only more than 4,000 people there originally. Before leaving, His Majesty Downey gave me more than 10,000 people. They were all small mercenary groups and were forcibly merged into my group."
"How can I control these more than 10,000 people?" Salin asked directly.
"Your Highness, these more than ten thousand people have been trained by me along the way. Even if it is a difficult battle, they will not escape. My own people and relatives have all been sent to Metatrin. This time There are tens of thousands of people, so it’s not a big deal if you are more careful." Gu Xin said disapprovingly.
"Gu Xin, I can accept your people, but for these more than 10,000 people, I have to deal with them separately.
Gu Xin frowned and said nothing.
Salin said: "You need to sign a contract with me and become my followers. I will give your brothers the treatment of regular soldiers. Report everyone's family members to me, and I will let Metatlin Officials, are you satisfied with allocating land to them as the first payment for recruiting you
"Of course, Your Highness". Gu Xin was a little excited now, "It's just that those who are traveling with you"
"If they are not your people, the treatment will not be the same. Gu Xin, my main army, is treated very well. Those more than 10,000 people still need to be observed, and we cannot give them this kind of treatment from the beginning."
Seeing what Gu Xin wanted to say, Salin said: "You have made a promise to those mercenaries. Don't worry, joining the regular army, even if it is not the main force, is still better than being a mercenary. I just can't trust their loyalty."
"Will the two masters deal with it poisonously?" Gu Xin. He was just too good to people, so he didn't forget about the treatment of the two magicians.
Rex also needs followers. If they can follow her, these two masters will not be so miserable in the future.
"That's good." Gu Xin looked much better. He respected the two magicians very much, but he was unable to provide them with any good treatment, so he always felt sorry for them. This time the two magicians asked to come with them, and he was worried that the Kushui County Council would not be able to support them.
"Well, Gu Xin, now that we have made a decision, let's sign a contract." Salin tried to keep his tone calm to hide his inner joy. This Gu Xin turned out to be a Silver Sword Master. Although he was a newly advanced one, he was definitely much worse than Su and Zola. But this Silver Sword Master is not someone you can recruit at will. Once his rank stabilizes, he will have another helper.
Moreover, Gu Xin's inability to cling to nobles does not mean that he cannot fight. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to bring a first-level mercenary group to the sixth level in ten years.
As Salin spoke, he took out a black magic scroll. Because of the death of the three kings, Saleen could now recruit several powerful followers, and the scrolls were already prepared. D! ~!
