Lei Ming couldn't help but ask on the road: "What does the goblin want to do?"
Zhang Mu recounted what happened: "The fight between the goblins and the Terrors is beneficial and harmless to us, but we must be careful of the goblins, they are not good people either, be careful of scams!"
"I will arrange for two teams of thieves to monitor the area!"
"Well, this is best."
Lei Ming perked up, "It would be best if the goblins take the initiative to contain the Terror!"
Upon hearing this, Huang Tian and his son nodded silently.
The library has records of the goblin clan, plus some information spread from the biochemical clan. Everyone has a rough understanding of the situation of the goblin clan in the Dawn area.
Goblins are one of the four races of Dawn, with the smallest population of less than 30,000. They are born with disadvantages, and their four attributes are not even comparable to humans. Goblins are the most astute race among the four races. Their intelligence is no less than that of humans, and they have excellent repair and creative abilities.
The Horror tribe and the Goblin tribe have long had a grudge, because the Horror tribe is too aggressive.
Before the arrival of the human race, there were only three races in the Dawn region, the Horrors, the Dogmen, and the Goblins.
The Dogmen are quite powerful, but they are less intelligent and have no specialties in production and life. The only thing worthy of praise is that dog people have strong fertility and many thieves, so they have strong survivability. This is also the reason why they can survive. Dog people's potential is not as good as humans, their creativity is not as good as goblins, and the whole family is impoverished. , so there is no threat to the phobe. In most cases, the phobe will not actively prey on the dog people.
The goblins are different.
Goblins can collect broken robots and trucks in the wild, repair them and use them again. They can even independently produce artillery, firearms and other tools, and they are quite good at planting. In order to suppress the development of goblins and increase the technological equipment of the tribe, the Horror Tribe plundered the goblins wantonly.
This time, the Horrors have provoked goblins and humans at the same time. The goblins took advantage of the Horrors' defeat to regain the occupied territory. The forces on the Bloody Plains will definitely reach a stalemate. The fear is that people will never dare to send troops on a large scale, because once they attack any side, they may be attacked by the other side.
Zhang Mu returned to the camp and directly held an impromptu mercenary meeting. He first asked the person in charge of Lingtian's guardianship: "How is the progress of Lingtian recently?"
"Goblin is very satisfied with his current life. He works very hard and everything is going well."
Huang Tian said disdainfully: "Weak goblins used to live a life of fear, but now they are protected by humans. They don't have to worry about food or drink. They don't have to worry about scavengers or monsters sneaking up on them. If they are paid for farming, they will escape." That’s weird!”
Zhang Mu asked again: "How does the food look?"
The mercenary answered truthfully: "The harvest of plants grown in these spiritual fields is about 30% less than that of the spiritual fields in the camp, but it is within the acceptable range. It can take up to 2 days to transport the first batch of food. The food problem of the stationed mercenaries , it will definitely relieve more than half of it.”
"Then I'm relieved." Zhang Mu rubbed his temples and stood up from his seat: "I will probably go back to the camp for a few days. From today on, Huang Tiantuan will serve as the vice president of the mercenary union. When I am not at the Blood Light Station , all daily activities are hosted by Dragon Soul. If you have any information about foreign races or other major events, please send a message to me in time."
Everyone was in an uproar.
It is no longer a secret that Huang Quan and Dragon Soul are fighting openly and secretly.
Now that Huang Quan has the absolute advantage, Zhang Mu takes the initiative to give part of the rights to Dragon Soul. What is he thinking
Even Huang Tian was slightly startled at this moment.
Zhang Mu said calmly: "We are all comrades who have fought side by side. We should know in our hearts what we should do and what we should not do! Huangquan does not represent the collective interests of the entire mercenary. The mercenary union needs you to go further. Talent and support, I believe in you.”
The group leaders were immediately in awe.
Zhang Mu showed a little tiredness and sat back down. He hadn't rested for a long time. The situation on the front line was temporarily stable, so it would be okay to take a break. After Huang Kai's death, Huang Tian had some changes. Therefore, raising the status of Dragon Soul and temporarily withdrawing Huang Quan from the front line is actually a kind of trial.
Zhang Mu needs to reaffirm Dragon Soul's attitude. If Huang Tian and his son are smart enough, they will not cross the line.
"I almost forgot." Zhang Mu interrupted the discussion and took out the [Super Post] from his backpack: "There is another thing that needs to be announced."
Zhang Mu described the value of the post: "This thing is very precious. As for how to use it, it is necessary to refer to everyone's suggestions."
[Super Post] The value is self-evident. Who doesn’t want to know the situation in other areas, and who doesn’t want to know if they have any surviving relatives? However, judging from the description of the super post, its effect does not cover all areas, but only works within a certain range from the Dawn area.
Huang Jianye suggested: "The remaining population in various places and the living conditions of human races in various places are the most important things for everyone. If the statistics can be clearly calculated, it will help enhance everyone's desire for the outside world and stimulate fighting spirit."
Zhang Mu thought of his family members and immediately added: "The living conditions of relatives and friends are a matter of concern to everyone. If you can find your relatives who are still alive through super posts, I think it will be more meaningful. Of course, it is just a post , cannot serve the whole camp, we must select a part, make a list, and send it out through posts. If any living relatives see it, they will definitely reply in the reply... "
The mercenaries discussed the matter of [Super Post] for dozens of minutes.
Finally, according to different mercenary groups, certain quotas are limited and the mercenaries can compete. Although the probability of relatives and friends surviving is slim, or they may not be able to see the post, people are like this. Even if there is a glimmer of hope, they will cling to it like a life-saving straw.
The information carrying capacity of the post is very large. In the end, 2,000 people were selected, and each person paid 100 gold coins, which was regarded as a family search fee. In the end, a huge sum of 200,000 gold coins was collected.
The vast majority of people in the Shuguang camp are Jiangcheng citizens and have no close relatives in other provinces. Not everyone needs to participate. These 2,000 places are enough.
As for the cost of posting a super post, it only costs 20,000 gold coins, leaving a huge balance of 180,000. Zhang Mu cannot use public money for personal gain, so as not to cause gossip. This gold coin comes from mercenaries, and of course it must be used on mercenaries.
Zhang Mu plans to build an exclusive treasury for the union to store the union's collective funds. The mercenary union spends too much money, especially frontline military expenditures, which cost a lot of money. For example, in the battle that just ended not long ago, the round-trip transportation cost for 4,000 people reached 80,000 to 90,000 gold coins!
Each group is responsible for its own group expenses. Some small groups are not very wealthy and frequently spend gold coins, so they may face financial constraints. Whenever a small group encounters a problem of capital turnover, it can apply for a subsidized loan from the union, misappropriate union funds, and fill the gold coin funnel first.
180,000 gold coins is the initial investment, and more similar activities will be held in the future, and even regular donations will be raised to raise funds for the mercenary union to replenish the treasury.
Zhang Mu is young, but he knows the benefits of money!
The current mercenary union is an empty structure, an organization that was temporarily condensed due to the shock of Huangquan's prestige and the pressure of the living environment. If the union controls a large amount of funds, and eventually gradually builds an interest group that truly benefits every mercenary group, and even every mercenary, then union members will truly have a sense of identity and belonging.
In the future, even if you leave the Dawn Camp.
The mercenary union is still monolithic and will not be disbanded due to the impact of other forces. It can even absorb more mercenary groups and become stronger!
The mercenary meeting ended.
Zhang Mu led the Huangquan mercenaries into the bus shelter, looked back at the group leaders and said, "Everything will be in vain during my absence!"
"President, just don't worry!"
"We will definitely make the main station do well!"
Zhang Mu took the nearest bus back to the camp.
Walking out of Shuguang Station, hundreds of people felt like they had been reborn.
Although the sky in Dawn Plains cannot be called blue, at least it is not filled with oppressive red like Bloodlight Plains. In addition, there are thousands of mercenaries stationed at the front line, so Shuguang Camp does not have to worry about being attacked by surprise, and the tension will naturally relax.
Leng Yun's white robe was dirty and had many signs of damage. She took a deep breath and felt intense fatigue. Now she didn't care about anything and just wanted to have a good sleep. Like Zhang Mu, she had not slept for many days and relied entirely on the [Fatigue Relief Potion] for support.
"We're back! Hahaha..." Du Rongrong rushed into the camp like a cheerful sparrow, "The camp feels like home. It's not like the Bloody Plains. The whole thing is on tenterhooks. When I stay at the station and take a nap, I have to Keep one eye open to avoid the blood rush. I'm going to have a big meal and then a good night's sleep to treat myself!"
Everyone walked into the camp with smiles on their faces and heads held high.
Zhang Mu rode the Black Claw, Du Rongrong rode the big red bear, and Lei Ming rode the Iron Lizard Beast. They led about 300 mercenaries back. Every soldier looked dusty, with numerous gaps in their weapons and serious wear and tear. Most of their armors were damaged and stained. The shocking bloodstains clearly show the suffering suffered on the front line.
"Huang Quan is back!"
"Very good!"
In the streets and alleys of the camp, mercenaries gathered collectively to watch the soldiers returning from the front line, their eyes full of awe and admiration. If Zhang Mu hadn't taken the lead to fight in the Bloody Plains, how could the camp have the stable life it has now
Zhang Mu returned to Shuguang Camp, first took off the equipment, and went to the equipment shop to find a cyborg repairman for repairs.
The repairman of the equipment shop is a powerful biochemical clan, nicknamed Iron Hammer. While carefully assessing the wear and tear of the equipment, he asked: "How do you want to repair it? Ordinary repairs are affordable, but the maximum durability value will decrease. It may lead to a decrease in attributes and quality. Advanced repairs are at least twice as expensive, the equipment's durability decreases less, and it is more durable."
"Of course it's a high-level repair, especially for my sword. It's okay to use more expensive materials, but you must make sure that the attributes are not degraded."
The cyborg hammered the sword blade and exclaimed: "Not bad, it's a gold weapon! The higher the quality of the equipment, the more expensive the repair cost. This sword costs 4,500 gold coins, two swords cost 9,000 gold coins, plus other equipment... Since you have contributed so much to the camp, you only charge a cost of 14,000 gold coins!"
Zhang Mu almost spit out a mouthful of blood: "So much?"
Iron Hammer put down his sword and hummed and said: "Golden equipment requires level 4 materials to repair. In a place like Dawn Camp where birds don't shit, do you know how difficult it is to get a few pieces of level 4 materials? I just charged a little for the materials. , I didn’t even earn a single gold coin for my hard work!”
Equipment repair costs have always been very expensive, especially high-level repairs. The cost of three or four repairs is no longer lower than the value of the equipment itself. If the equipment is repaired too many times, its attributes and quality will decline. It is better to just buy a new one. Most of the worn-out equipment in the hands of the mercenaries was eventually sold to the camp at a low price, and Zhang Mu paid the price honestly.
Advanced repairs and maintenance take a lot of time, so I can only pick it up tomorrow.
Zhang Mu put on casual clothes and walked on the street of the camp. He felt completely relaxed and began to think about future plans.
The most important thing now is undoubtedly to further improve his strength. Although he is the well-deserved number one master in Dawn Camp, there is still a big gap compared with the top masters of foreign races. Although the village chief is powerful, he cannot directly participate in the ethnic war.
"Practice [Hundred Refinements of Barbarian Body] is the fastest way to improve your strength. This is a C-level combat skill, which should be no worse than hurricane swordsmanship." Zhang Mu's physical fitness in naked clothes is only 140 points. This is due to the dragon bloodline, otherwise he will die. It looks like more than 100 points, "It's really not an easy thing to lose fifty or sixty points of physical fitness!"
