Heavenly Calamity

Chapter 414: Power struggle

Views:

In the glorious hall, a Silver Horn tribesman was half-kneeling on the ground.

"Deputy City Lord, I have investigated clearly. The human named Zhang Mu is actually the leader of the Huangquan Mercenary Group. He has a high ranking in the clan and a high reputation. The Huangquan Mercenary Group is the leader of the clan. His power is very strong, and he is also the founder of the mercenary union, an organization of the human race."

"How do they compare to Gabriel's Heavenly mercenaries?"

"Not even close!"

Deputy City Lord Lelio narrowed his eyes slightly, "Did Josebe also win over a human force? There is another human force in the city that is not inferior to the Heavenly Mercenary Group. Why didn't Gabriel tell me!"

The subordinate said respectfully: "Sir, Deputy City Lord, before the human race arrived in Zhonghai City, they all came from different places on the mainland. They had never contacted each other, so it is reasonable not to know. But the more important reason is that the human race itself There is no unity, and there is fierce fighting among the forces within the clan. Zhang Mu is Gabriel's number one opponent in Zhonghai City, so he deliberately concealed the news about Huangquan, and the purpose of joining us is probably to use the resources and tasks provided by the deputy city lord to accelerate his growth. thereby defeating the competition!”

Gabriel has a strategic vision. After arriving at Zhonghai City, he immediately began to assess the situation. As a result, Gabriel was surprised to find that the racial power of the deputy city lord was quite strong in Zhonghai City. Two of the six bureaus out of the three bureaus and nine bureaus were the forces of the Silver Horn Demon. Because there were more jurisdictions, they had more power at the middle and grassroots levels of the city. Large, with many channels for tasks and resources.

Gabriel thought carefully and decided to surrender to the deputy city lord while leaking information about the human race. Deputy City Lord Lelio knew that the human race had amazing potential, but after their power declined, he immediately began to think about cultivating them. He wants to use the human race to develop a puppet force. When the human race becomes stronger, it will be able to replace the senior personnel of the elf faction. If the elf faction becomes weaker, won't Zhonghai City be under full control

Lelio is a smart man, Gabriel can only use him, but Lelio is not afraid of the human race's retaliation, because in his opinion, no matter how powerful the human race's potential is, they lack the confidence. So a small population is insignificant, and there is no backing among the top leaders of the alliance. At best, they develop their power locally. How can they threaten the power of the Silver Horns

Of course Lelio doesn't know it, he still underestimates humans!

In fact, the potential of the human race far exceeds imagination.

This method of cultivating humans to crowd out goblins is tantamount to attracting tigers and driving away wolves. In the end, the tigers will be more harmful than the wolves, and the clan's strength in Zhonghai City will be squeezed out.

“What does Josebey do with humans?”

"I have received some rumors that Zhang Mu may be awarded the position of investigation detachment!"

"Oh, is it so?"

Actually put into the investigation bureau

It's too easy to kill him!

"However, the city lord's daughter, Qiao Weier, was also assigned to the Investigation Bureau as a lieutenant. The army directly under his jurisdiction happened to be the search corps where Zhang Mu was working."

Lelio's eyes became more and more gloomy: "First, he placed humans in the investigation bureau where it is easiest to make meritorious deeds, and then sent his daughter to be the direct boss of humans to provide a protective umbrella... Josebe's ambition is not small!"

"what should we do?"

"It's easy to kill a few humans, but with Qiao Wei'er acting as a protective umbrella over him and Qiao Sebei as his backing, we can't do it openly."

The Silver Horn tribesman said: "I can find a few cronies to assassinate Captain Huangquan!"

Lelio thought for a while and said, "It's not that easy. In the past few years of overt and covert fighting, our main members have long been targeted by Josebe. No matter who is sent, they will alert the enemy."

"It's not convenient for us to do it, but we can spend a lot of money to buy a killer in Zhonghai City. As long as this person is eliminated, more than half of the power of the Underworld mercenaries will be destroyed."

"Is the earth spirit powerful in the later stage... You might as well give it a try." Lelio said to his subordinates: "You do it, but remember, be smart! After all, Josebei is the city lord. If we are caught, the alliance will sue us. It’s hard for the higher-ups to explain.”

The human race is growing at an extremely fast rate, and it is easy for the Investigation Bureau to obtain meritorious deeds. Qiao Wei'er's own strength is astonishing. As long as she makes enough meritorious deeds, her title and reputation will be raised to a certain level and meet the standards, and she can completely squeeze out the current incumbent of the Investigation Bureau. Director, Lelio felt a sense of crisis.

In fact, Lelio thought too much.

The city lord does have some concerns about the human race, but he does not know the potential of the human race. It was Zhang Mu's own attention to join the investigation bureau, and Qiao Weier also took the initiative to serve as a lieutenant.

The city lord originally wanted to arrange for his daughter to serve as a senior officer in the city defense bureau. The city defense bureau is a direct corps, and it is easy to use some connections to allow Qiao Weier to accumulate honor and reputation. After being promoted to a noble title, she can insert herself into a certain bureau of the deputy city lord. , or even go to the military department to compete for a high position.

Zhang Mu didn't know that he was unknowingly involved in the power struggle among the senior officials of Zhonghai City.

After he left the city lord's palace, he spent up to 3,000 green crystal coins to rent out a hotel specifically to entertain dwarves.

The table is filled with sumptuous food, including all kinds of fish, shrimps, crabs, conches, sea shells, sea cucumbers, sea turtles... They are basically good marine specialties. This is a delicacy that the dwarves living in the mountains and forests have never tasted. Produced food The chef is also an expert chef. Although his level is slightly different from Zhang Mu's, it is still delicious.

Zhang Mu's warm hospitality made the dwarf very happy. He ate delicious seafood and wanted to have a good time.

"Master Bronzebeard, you have been shopping for a day, how do you feel?"

"Yes, yes! Zhonghai City is indeed prosperous, with convenient transportation and a vast market. In the purchase contract signed by the city owner and Nonoya Jin, the first purchase is expected to be 50,000 sets of equipment. The mine could not sell that much in the past six months. There are so many With more money in our account, we can purchase daily necessities and tools from the city, and the production volume will be further increased, and we will no longer have to look at Lu Ling's face in the future."

Bronzebeard laughed loudly and grabbed a 10-pound crab claw from the giant plate next to it. It was an ingredient collected from a giant crab monster. After breaking it, it turned out white crab meat, which was fragrant, tender, and very delicious.

Zhang Mu is equally happy. The dwarves create value for the alliance, and the underworld mercenaries can take 10%. The more Nonoya gold mines are sold, the more money Zhang Mu makes.

Bronzebeard suddenly said: "Brother, there is something I hope you can help me with."

"What is it?"

Bronzebeard replied: "There are too many races in Zhonghai City. You also know the temper of our dwarves. Although we have joined the Green Alliance and established a cooperative relationship with Zhonghai City, dwarves are not suitable to live in Zhonghai City for a long time. However, there are a group of dwarves. We sell high-quality weapons and equipment, and we are not planning to sell them wholesale, so they are not included in the city lord’s order. I hope humans can help.”

Bronzebeard wanted to cooperate with the human race. The dwarves would provide the supply and let the underworld mercenaries help sell it.

Dwarves are very generous and will definitely give you a very preferential price, and the mercenaries can also benefit from it.

"no problem!"

If Huangquan wants to gain a foothold in the Green Alliance, it must establish its own industry and integrate production to earn development funds. However, purchasing real estate and shops in Zhonghai City requires not only green crystal coins, but also alliance contributions. Bronzebeards have no contribution points, so even if they have money, they can't buy a shop. Zhang Mu received 3,000 contribution points in the mission, which was more than enough.

"Then I wish us happy cooperation!"

Zhang Mu and Bronzebeard cheered.

With dwarves as partners, making money is easy.

same day.

Zhang Mu took Lei Ming to buy a store. Zhang Mu had about 40,000 green crystal coins to spend. If he used the mercenary group's treasury, he could withdraw another 50,000 green crystal coins. A total of 90,000 green crystal coins could be spent. To purchase real estate. After some understanding, Lei Ming found out. Mid-range housing in Zhonghai City can be purchased for about 100 green crystal coins. If the specifications are higher, it will cost 200-300 green crystal coins.

Of course, there are also villas and manors, but the prices are too high and not affordable, and they are too scattered and not conducive to mercenary management.

Most of the mercenaries who have made it this far have some savings, so buying a house is not a problem.

Stores are much more expensive.

Shops in ordinary locations start at 1,000 green crystal coins, and the better ones cost at least 5,000 green crystal coins. Prime locations range from 10,000 to 100,000. Core locations are even more expensive, and with Zhang Mu’s current social status, he is not qualified to buy. .

Zhang Mu chose to buy, alchemy shop, alchemy shop, medicine refining shop, tailor shop, etc. The location is not good, mainly used to provide goods, all kinds of production equipment are complete, a total of about 40,000, the production team can directly take over and put into production. Zhang Mu spent another 45,000 green crystal coins to buy a store in a prime location specifically for sales.

Zhang Mu organized the mercenary warehouse and took out thousands of good scrolls, skill books, equipment, etc., including the B-level rare skill book [Heavenly Ice Tribulation], and put them all on the shelves for sale.

the next day.

The dwarves sent a batch of high-quality equipment, about a thousand pieces, all of which were gold equipment.

Huangquan is expected to open in a few days. Now it needs to buy robot management and invest an advertising fee to let more people know about the existence of the store. A series of things are quite tedious. Zhang Mu leaves it to goblins to do it. Goblins are naturally shrewd and like to calculate. It's quite suitable to be a businessman.

"After this period of investment, our savings have been basically exhausted." Zhang Mu found someone to decorate the store, and also found several young and beautiful bunny girls to stand at the door to attract passers-by. Only then did he discover that the money in his savings card The green crystal coins were almost spent, and "half of the money in the mercenary group's treasury was also taken out."

Lei Ming said confidently: "We have a lot of stuff, and we will be able to recover a lot of money quickly after the store opens. Afterwards, it is expected that the weekly profit will be stable at around 300-400 green crystal coins, and at least the mercenary group will be accounted for every month. 1,000 green crystal coins, plus 10% of the profit dividend from the Nonoa gold mine in the city, can earn nearly a thousand more green crystal coins every month, which is more than enough to maintain the development and growth of Huangquan."

If the net profit per month can be stabilized to reach 2,000 green crystal coins and 200,000 gold coins, even if the mercenary group does not go on missions, staying in the city every day will be enough for the basic expenses of the Huangquan members. First, keep from starving to death, and then do better. development of.
