It has been a whole week since Lide returned to Yuxi City.
The results of the demon invasion this time were not widely disseminated. Lord Yunyang blocked the news, and all the outside world could hear were rumors and rumors. Not only Yunyang, but also the royal family was vague about this matter, and Xiqin, who had just formed an alliance with the royal family, was silent, so no one would open any pot at this time.
What's more, whether Yuxi City survived or not is an irrelevant matter in the eyes of most people.
To say that Lord Yunyang is actually not that stupid. Although Yunyang has always held a laissez-faire attitude towards Yuxi City, the scale of the demon invasion is actually very large. Lord Yunyang also secretly assembled the army, but it was not long before rumors After the news that the demons besieged Yuxi City but turned a blind eye to other human territories, this army did not go to the battlefield. Even when Li Yi led his troops to take advantage of the fire to loot, Lord Yunyang did not stop him.
As for the royal family, when the king heard that it was Yuxi City who was beaten, he applauded and applauded, feeling very relieved. Wumi, the prime minister in white, handed over a note, saying that human territory should be "inviolable", but was directly beaten back by the king. Secretly calling Umi away, it was a set of three consecutive questions:
"Thirty-six territories, how many territories are sincerely toward our royal family? Territories that don't obey the king's orders, what does it matter if they are destroyed or not? Besides, it's just a small city, so what if it disappears? This is not allowed. Bring it up again!"
Umi had no choice. Fortunately, the bounty hunters who hunted aliens did not belong to any faction. After Xiaohei, the eldest son of Nanchu, wrote to him, Umi immediately issued a notice in the name of the prime minister's mansion, passing the news to From all over the world, hundreds of bounty hunters rushed to Yuxi City to fight against the demons.
After Yuxi City was actually defended, the king immediately took the credit for himself, saying that the bounty hunters were transferred by the royal family to go to the Western Front, and that Yuxi City was able to defend was entirely the result of his mediation. No one blatantly jumped out to oppose this matter, and in the end it was nothing.
Only Lord Lingwu in the north, after receiving the news, first scolded Lord Yunyang and the king as "brazen", and then praised Li De as "not bad". She didn't know that Lide had made a deal with the King of the East, Shetong, and she didn't know the inside story of the demons' invasion of humans. She just thought that Yuxi City was barely defended with the help of bounty hunters, and she felt that a city could hold on. For so long, it can be said that it is not bad.
During this period of time, Li De actually did not express anything publicly, but only wrote a letter to thank the prince of Nanchu, Xiao Hei, and the Prime Minister of Bai Yi, Umi, and arranged for some gifts to be sent along with the letter. A batch of organic fertilizer was given to Wangdu, and a batch of steel was given to Xiao Hei. It is a recognized fact that the royal family is short of food, and Southern Chu is short of steel. Naturally, Li De's supplies are also suitable for them.
After writing the letter, Lide chatted with He Yue all night.
The matter was brought up by He Yue:
"Lead, I took a look. Some of the bounty hunters who participated in the defense of the city have already left, and some of them are living in Yuxi City waiting for the Yunhai faction because they have captured too much loot. The merchants who came over. I think we might find a way to keep them in Yuxi City during this period of time."
Lide looked very interested in this:
"Oh? But I heard that although these people are powerful, they don't like to be controlled by others. Otherwise, if you just join a lord as a guest, your life is probably much more stable than it is now. Such people, I am afraid that they will be tempted by temptation. No, what better way do you have?"
He Yue replied:
"I did think of a way, which is to set up a special organization to cooperate with these bounty hunters. After they fight here, they will definitely seize a lot of materials. I have consulted some bounty hunters, and they usually stay The next part of the materials will be used by themselves, and most of them will be dumped. But there are few big cities near the border, and there are not many traveling merchants, so they are also very troubled by this. Not only that, most of the current tasks are entrusted to them personally, The diffusion of each task is not very strong. I think that if we can set up a special organization, issue tasks to them, and recover materials from them, many bounty hunters can gather in Yuxi City. "
Lide nodded, pondered for a while, and pondered:
"But they will not obey the orders of Yuxi City..."
"They don't have to listen."
He Yue patiently explained:
"These people are staying in Yuxi City. They may not obey our orders, but if there is another alien invasion, they will not let go of this opportunity to make money. And when they find that relying on this institution can keep Living a more stable life while being free, they will naturally join the battle to defend Yuxi City. To put it bluntly, as long as these people exist in Yuxi City, no matter whether they actually obey our orders or not, the outside world will regard them as Consider it as the power of Yuxi City."
Lied asked again:
"Then how can you guarantee that the bounty hunters are willing to come to our Yuxi City to pick up the mission? And how can you guarantee that those who issued the mission are willing to put the mission in Yuxi City?"
He Yue replied again:
"Because Yuxi City can be said to be the city closest to the demons. In addition, the good trade channel between Yuxi City and Yunhai Territory will also play a role. Also, because we broke with Yunyang openly, the hand of Lord Yunyang If we can't reach our Yuxi City, it means that we can directly sell materials in Yuxi City, which can save cumbersome checkpoint fees. We can also make concessions on business taxes, all in all, so that they can get more benefits."
Lid smiled and nodded.
He Yue breathed a sigh of relief, but said with some distress:
"The only problem that is difficult to solve is the mission problem. To put it bluntly, it is also an intelligence problem. When this organization just started, basically no one would be willing to issue missions here. When this organization becomes popular, other territories can follow suit. Our approach, given greater support, we also have no way to maintain any competitiveness... "
Lied smiled and said:
"You don't have to worry about that."
He waved his hand, and casually said to He Yue:
"When I made a deal with Shetong this time, I asked him to regularly provide information about the other three demon kings and their henchmen. Where do these demons live and what are they good at? These snake pupils should be able to check Obtained. With this information, the hunting efficiency of bounty hunters will be greatly improved, and the death rate will be reduced rapidly. After repeated several times, they will naturally understand that it is the best choice to accept the mission from us."
Lid paused, and added:
"However, the name Bounty Hunter sounds too long. Let's call it Brave. Since you dare to compete with the demons and live a life of licking blood with the tip of a knife, this name is perfect. As for the organization... I think it is called The Warriors Guild is ready."
