Chapter 248 Forming a new army(1/2)
In the next few days, Sargeras and I had a discussion on the newly formed White Tiger Rogue Corps, and Betty also participated. After all,... although she was young, she was also a big sister for many years.
Although 100 million is not a big money for me, you must know that no matter who it is, 100 million is always 100 million, and it will not become one million. Moreover... money is a trivial matter. Once these guys betray me, I am afraid I will be angry. So... our research focuses on loyalty and discipline. I must ensure the absolute obedience of this team and guarantee my absolute rights to this team!
Obviously, Sargeras also understands this. No one in this world is a great charity. He is just for fame and fortune. He pays so much money and does not want to be wasted. What's more, no matter who faces betrayal, he may not feel good.
We made careful arrangements for loyalty and betrayal. The process is actually nothing more than moving the management system of large companies on the earth, managing each other layer by layer, supervising each other, and restraining each other. How can we rebel if we want to rebel? This is equivalent to my private industry!
However, I am not the one who seizes power forever. Apart from absolute command and ownership, based on the principle of doubting people and not using people, I delegate power to Sargeras. Except for ownership and absolute command, everything else is left to him to manage. After all... I cannot manage all this by myself.
As for Betty, he basically became my representative. Who is Glass' immediate boss, is equivalent to the executive president of the Earth Company, and Sargeras' status is equivalent to the general manager, and I...of course I am the chairman.
After nearly a week of continuous consultations, we finally reached a consensus that the money can be opened. My only requirement is to merge the thieves around the Fantasy City in a short period of time, and unify the Baihu Hall into the largest thieves' corps in the East Continent!
Sargeras is also an idea-worthy person. As the leader of a thief group, no one doesn’t want to carry forward the thief group. He excitedly took over my first investment. After 100 million copper coins, Sargeras excitedly left Fantasy City. Looking at Sargeras’s gradually moving away, I believe... It won’t be long before I will have a huge dark armed force. As long as the team develops to a certain scale, whether it is the Greedy Wolf Thieves or the Dream City, they will start to accept my sanctions!
Moreover, investing in the thieves group and having their own armed forces is only one advantage. On the other hand, the most important thing is that once the thieves group around the thieves belong to the thieves city, we only need elite troops to reduce their political power, then... I can secretly grasp all the forces around the thieves city. By then, even if there is no wall in the thieves city, no one will come to attack us. Even if they come to attack, they will have to face the numerous blocks of the White Tiger Hall!
Although from now on, the funds I have to invest are quite huge and are simply astronomical, you should know that the thieves group is not a charity hall. If it is done well, it will definitely be one of the industries with huge profits. I am not a good man or a believer. When the thieves group develop to a certain scale, they will not only not need me to invest, but also... they will bring me huge benefits every day!
After solving the Sargeras incident, the next problem was the city defense. This incident made me clearly know that our city defense was too weak, just a city wall. Apart from this, there was no strong defense business, nor sharp city defense weapons. When facing ordinary thieves, experts need to sit in the formation. If I encounter those powerful legions and those legions with senior generals, I can't imagine the consequences!
After thinking about it, I issued several orders in succession, drawing 4,000 out of the 10,000 slave soldiers to continue to increase, strengthen the city wall, and increase the height of the city wall by 40 meters again, reaching a height of 60 meters. In this way, the sharp arrows shot from the city will be at the end of the strong crossbow and the damage will be limited.
Moreover... it is difficult to get such a high ladder up if it is more than 60 meters high. As for the thieves' ropes, I have come up with a way to deal with it. Now... the mine produces too much iron ore every day, and all the excess iron ore is used to smel, and then wrap the outer city wall with steel plates to form a veritable steel defense line. At the same time... the steel plate is inlaid with sharp steel needles up to one meter long. In this way, I want to see how these thieves climb up!
At the same time, the design of the gatehouse I cancelled adopts a staircase-style city wall building. At the top of the city wall, there will be no more passages for people to move. The top of the city wall will be composed of sharp blades and spikes forged by steel. Even if you climb to the top of the city wall, it will be of no use!
On the inside of the city wall, I rely on the city wall and build a huge stairway every 100 meters. The entire city wall is built into a hollow style from a height of 20 meters. The defending soldiers are hidden in the high bunker and attack the enemies outside through the set-up shooting holes! In general, the entire city wall is simply a huge bunker with countless shooting holes or a powerful battleship.
Imagine that when the enemy attacks again, facing such a tall city wall, they will not be able to see anyone. What they face is nothing more than the entire city wall at any time, and the magic and sharp arrows sprayed out from tens of thousands of shooting holes. If they try to leap over the city wall, then... in the tens of thousands of shooting holes, tens of thousands of long spears will stab them one by one.
Looking at my design drawings, I felt very satisfied. For the time being, from the perspective of defense, it is enough, but... if it is just defense, it is obviously not my style. I am a person who likes to take the initiative. Taking everything in my own hands is what I like the most!
The giant crossbow guarding the city!
As my eyes lit up, four big words appeared in my eyes. Although I had never seen that thing, I have seen it too many times in TV or movies. The so-called giant crossbow guarding is nothing more than a crossbow body forged by steel. Then, using a winch to pull the crossbow strings and shoot out a hard arrow forged by steel. The power is so powerful that it is almost the same as a shell.
Although I have not studied this aspect much, I believe everyone on earth knows that the basic principles of giant crossbows can draw similar sketches. It is nothing more than a basic body, plus a huge crossbow arm, a strong crossbow string, a guide groove of a crossbow arrow, and a simple shooting mechanism. It is very simple, and the difference is nothing more than the power.
According to my design, soon... the craftsmen of the blacksmith shop used the most elastic materials to forge various components of the giant crossbow according to my requirements. After precise installation and debugging, finally... the huge city-guarding giant crossbow with a bow arm spread of three meters was released from the factory!
Unfortunately, after testing, the so-called powerful giant crossbow of the city was not as powerful as expected, with a range of only 300 meters and a weak force. The crossbow arrow actually shaking when flying!
However, I was not discouraged by this. Everything is always difficult at the beginning. As long as we continue to study and improve, I believe... we can definitely study the most powerful giant crossbow to defend the city. At that time, the enemy who is invading will probably be in trouble!
Boss!
Looking at the huge, rough and clumsy city-guarding giant crossbow in front of me, I was silently thinking about something wrong when a shout rang beside me.
When I turned my head in confusion, Alanx and Blood Wolf were looking at me with shiny eyes, looking at the two of them in confusion, and I said in confusion: "What? Could it be... what did you find out?"
No...No...
With a wry smile, Alanx explained: "Boss, I heard... you asked Betty to form the White Tiger Robbers Corps. Is this a matter?"
kindness……
After hearing the two of them, although this was a very secret matter, I didn't want to hide it from them and replied frankly: "That's right, the group of thieves who came to attack the city last time have been incorporated by me. Now... they are already affiliated with our thieves!"
hey-hey……
After hearing my words, Blood Wolf said, "Boss, I heard from Betty, you are going to develop the White Tiger Robbers Corps into the largest Robbers Corps in the East Continent. Is that true?"
He looked at Alanx in confusion, then at the Blood Wolf, and I said in confusion: "Yes, I have this plan. What do you mean?"
hey-hey……
After hearing what I said, the two looked at each other, and then... Blood Wolf laughed and said, "Boss, you can't be biased. We are also one of the five rookies. How can you only prefer Betty, regardless of us?"
Looking at the Blood Wolf with a wry smile, I spread my hands helplessly and said, "What do you think? Everyone is brother. I just agreed that I can do it. Will I reject you?"
hey-hey……
Looking at me awkwardly, Blood Wolf continued, "Boss, you are a super rich master now. I think... can you invest some money for us? We want to..."
kindness?
Looking at the Blood Wolf in confusion, I guessed: "What? Is it possible... do you also want to form a thief corps?"
No no no no...
Alanx said awkwardly: "Boss, you know, I used to be the leader of the Dark Night Legion, so you see... Can you... invest some money to let me show a legion to have fun?"
Yes Yes Yes Yes ...
As soon as Alanx finished speaking, Blood Wolf said, "That's right, boss, I also want to set up another mercenary group to play with, hehe... The boss is so rich, I'll sponsor it!"
this……
Looking at the two guys with anticipation, I couldn't help but be stunned. Grandma's... I never noticed these two guys. If these two guys were asked to go out to build a team, then... wouldn't there be four military forces under my secret control?
Seeing me silent, the two probably thought I didn’t want to invest anymore. The next moment... Alanx said, “Boss, this money will never be spent in vain. Since you invested, then my army is naturally the boss. I just want to live up to being an official!”
Looking at Alanx's nostalgic expression, I knew... After being the commander of the regiment for so long, he has become accustomed to such a life. His current life cannot satisfy him. Only by leading the army can he have a sense of existence and truly excite him.
While thinking, Alanx continued: "Boss, as long as there is sufficient funds, I will immediately go to the Dark Night Clan, recruit some old subordinates, and form our own Dark Night Legion in the Fantasy City. At that time, if there is another enemy attack, then our Dark Night's strong archers will welcome our enemies with arrow rain. Believe me... The city guarded by the Dark Night Legion will never fall!"
kindness!
He nodded with certainty, and I looked at Alanx excitedly and said, "It's OK. Since that's the case, I have no reason to refuse you. Tell me... how much does it cost!"
this……
Alanx hesitated for a while, then said helplessly: "I don't know how much it costs. It depends on how big the legion we want to form. Basically, for every shooter, we must pay a settlement fee of 100 gold coins in advance, and then... we must pay a large amount of salary every month to complete it!"
After hearing Alanx's words, I couldn't help but calculate that if it was based on the battle of 10,000 people, the settlement fee alone would be worth one million gold coins, and each soldier would be worth one hundred thousand gold coins per month, and the monthly salary would be paid!
After thinking about this, I nodded decisively. For the stability and unity of the Fantasy City, this money is worth spending. After all,... Dark Night Shooters are world-famous. They are the strong archers with the farthest shooting range, and they are extremely accurate. With such a unit, our Fantasy City is really solid!
Thinking of this, I suddenly raised my head and looked at Alanks with a smile and said, "Okay, I will give you 2 million gold coins first as startup capital. According to your wishes, I will form a Dark Night Legion of 10,000 people!"
ah!
After hearing what I said, Alanx was stunned, but soon... the guy lit up his eyes excitedly and grabbed my hand excitedly and said, "Old... Boss! Are you saying true? Form... forming a 10,000 army! Oh my God! I only wanted to form a 10,000 army!"
He nodded with a smile, held Alanx's hand tightly, and I nodded and said, "If it were someone else, I would probably not even agree to the Hundred-Man Legion. But you are different. You are my partner and my brother. As long as I can do it, how could I refuse?"
"Hehe..." After hearing my words, Alanx couldn't help but giggle.
but!
Looking at Alanx with a silly smile, I suddenly became serious and said seriously: "Since you want to do it, you must do your best. Whether it is the selection of soldiers or the regular training, you must be militarized and regular, select the best soldiers, and conduct the most meticulous training. I don't ask you to become the largest legion in the East Continent. I only have one requirement, that is, to become the strongest! Become the most sharp and strongest legion in the East Continent!"
After hearing my words, Alanx's eyes flashed suddenly and said, "Don't worry, boss, I, the leader of the Dark Night Legion, was not a waste of time. The Dark Night Legion I led back then has almost retired. From more than one hundred thousand soldiers, I will select the most elite to join our legion. That is a veritable choice of one in a thousand. I can guarantee you very responsibly that the ten thousand people I have selected will be the most elite existence of the Dark Night clan!"
hey-hey……
After hearing Alanx's words, I couldn't help but smile with joy. I absolutely believed his words. After all,... He was the leader of the Dark Night Legion of the Dark Night Clan. Who knows better than him who is elite soldiers and trash?
Seeing that I finally agreed completely, Alanx looked at me excitedly and said happily: "Boss, thank you so much, but... our legion probably can't be called the Dark Night Legion anymore. Look, what should our new legion be called?"
this……
He hesitantly looked at Alanx, and the next moment... my eyes lit up and he laughed: "Since this army is composed of wind-attributed night elves, then it is called Qinglong Hall. To the outside world, I call myself the Qinglong Legion!"
After hearing my words, Alanx's eyes couldn't help but lit up. He looked at me excitedly. Alanx said excitedly: "Thank you, boss, please rest assured. I will definitely form the Azure Dragon Legion as soon as possible to ensure that the boss's name is not weak!"
Boss!
Seeing Alanx's successful negotiation, on the other side, Blood Wolf couldn't help but get anxious and looked at me anxiously. Blood Wolf said with a bitter face: "Boss, Betty and Alanx have something to do, what about me?"
you?
Looking at the Blood Wolf pretending to be puzzled, I said in confusion: "What's wrong with you? Just say anything!"
hey-hey……
Hearing other words, Blood Wolf couldn't help laughing awkwardly, and while laughing, he said, "Boss, Betty and Alanx have something to do. Now I'm idle alone. I want to form a mercenary group to play, hehe... After all, I used to be the boss of Seven Wolves!"
Play!
Looking at the Blood Wolf in shock, I screamed in disbelief: "Do you... do you think we are all playing? Please... we call ideals and ambitions, okay? Do you think we are playing house!"
faint……
After hearing my words, the Blood Wolf slapped his forehead suddenly and smiled, "Missing the tongue! I missed the tongue. I didn't want to play. What I mean is what the boss should understand. I think... there is no difference between Alanx and Betty!"
kindness……
After hearing the Blood Wolf's words, I couldn't help but nodded slightly and continued, "Okay, I believe you've misled your tongue, but... I want to hear your thoughts. You know... Although I have some money, this money is exchanged for the people of Huancheng with their blood and sweat. I can invest, but there must be an explanation!"
After hearing my words, Blood Wolf looked at me admirably and continued to speak: "What I know is that the boss is definitely not the kind of explosive household, nor is it a prodigal son. Although he spends money generously, he is all spent in key places. When it is time to spend money, the boss is definitely not stingy. When it is time to spend money, he has to care about every penny. In this regard, I have already felt it from your attitude towards the four girls of Xinyue Rumei."
Speaking of this, Blood Wolf paused slightly, thought for a while before continuing: "The establishment of this mercenary group is because I like that kind of life. On the other hand, from the perspective of interests, the goods transported from Fantasy City to other cities will be borne by our mercenary group for free in the future. In this way, basically we only need to spend the establishment fee. As long as the mercenary group is established, we can start to make profits immediately. The boss should have a good idea about this!"
Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes ...
After hearing the words of the Blood Wolf, I couldn't help but nod. Grandma's... I have spent too much money on the mercenary group recently. Because there are too many thieves, every batch of goods will be transported out and 20% of the profit will be lost as a escort. If I have my own mercenary group, wouldn't this cost be saved?
Thinking of this, I looked at the Blood Wolf excitedly. When I was about to agree, the Blood Wolf continued: "And don't forget that once the Fantasy City is attacked by the enemy again, we can stand up and help the Fantasy City retreat. After all... Although the Mercenary Group is managed by me on a daily basis, since it was built by the boss, then this Mercenary Group will naturally belong to the boss!"
very good!
Looking at the Blood Wolf excitedly, I smiled and replied: "No need to continue talking, it's enough. Tell me... how much does it cost?"
To be continued...
