Chapter 325 Preparations Completed 【5K】
"Here are 200 sets of Tier 3 light armor and 200 Tier 3 long swords, enough for Mailan Town to equip two squadrons of elite guards."
Seeing Xuanyue and Baiguo's stunned expressions, Lei Xiao looked indifferently, smiled slightly and said.
It seemed that what was displayed in front of him was not priceless equipment, but a pile of cardboard boxes that could be seen everywhere.
These light armors, named [Silver Knight Light Armor], were all upgraded from Tier 3 equipment at the Fanyin City auction.
As for the third-tier long sword, it is called [Holy Light Knight Sword], which was obtained from the frontier battlefield.
Immediately, without waiting for the two to react.
Lei Xiao's heart skipped a beat again, and the 200 Qi Condensing Pills packed in a brocade box suddenly appeared in front of everyone again.
"These 200 Qi Condensation Pills should also be used to form a guard squadron. From the current garrison, pick out some outstanding first-tier nine-star soldiers and refine them collectively. It is enough for Mailan Town to get another 200 elite soldiers." Second-tier soldiers."
While pacing the only vacant space left in the treasury, Lei Xiao continued: "As an agricultural town rich in food, Mailan Town is very important to our territory. The training of the army was neglected."
"Obey! Please rest assured, my lord!"
In ecstasy, Xuan Yue hurriedly stepped forward, bowed to Lei Xiao and saluted.
On the battlefield, a squadron of well-trained second-tier elite soldiers is strong enough to contend with an ordinary first-tier soldier brigade.
In the state of forming a dense battle formation and confronting head-on, even if you face ten third-tier powerhouses or one fourth-tier powerhouse at the same time, you can still not lose the wind, which is evident from this.
Of course, this is without considering other factors such as professional restraint, equipment gap, terrain, etc.
"By the way, there is one more thing, fruits and trees..."
Checking Bai Guo's attributes again, Lei Xiao rubbed his chin and asked the young female guard, "Bing Guo, do you know an epee named Qing Shu?"
"To be honest, my lord, this person is the elder brother of the subordinate, and he is currently working in the capital."
Bai Guo took a step forward, bowed and responded: "When my subordinate was young, my elder brother was just an ordinary mercenary. Since we were the only siblings in the family, my elder brother loved my subordinate very much. It is also taught by my brother."
Speaking of this, I saw a smile unconsciously appearing on Bai Guo's cheek, and continued: "Until the subordinates entered the city lord's mansion and could survive on their own, then my brother left Mailan Town and went to the capital to venture out." .”
"So that's the case, then things will be much easier to handle."
Hearing this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, and immediately told Xuan Yue and Bai Guo the goals of the followers around Ariel that he planned to subdue today.
At the same time, he also succinctly explained his ultimate goal at this stage, the matter of trying to subdue Princess Ariel herself.
After listening to Lei Xiao's description, Xuan Yue and Bai Guo couldn't believe their ears, they opened their mouths slightly, and were in a daze state again.
As expected of the lord!
Even the dignified Fifth Princess Lengyan, who is at the pinnacle of power in this country, is not taken seriously, and even plans to take her as a subordinate... It is simply unbelievable!
You know, Princess Ariel, as Leng Yan's youngest princess, has been favored by the old king since she was a child, not to mention those princes and nobles who flatter and invite pets.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to call Princess Ariel the whole Lengyan Kingdom, the nobleman among the nobles, and the eldest lady among the young ladies.
The most important thing is that the Lengyan royal family has ruled this land for hundreds of years, and every member is full of pride and contempt for everything.
How easy is it to make members of the royal family who have received the top elite education and stand at the pinnacle of the top power lower their noble heads? !
Thinking of this, Xuan Yue and Bai Guo swallowed involuntarily, and looked at Lei Xiao with an extra bit of irrepressible respect.
After calming down for a while, Bai Guo with a ponytail took a step forward and respectfully said to Lei Xiao, "My lord, did you just say... my brother is currently in Kongqing Town?"
Speaking of this, her fair face showed a look of loneliness again, and continued: "But, if this is the case, why didn't brother come to look for my sister?"
"It's not his fault."
Lei Xiao waved his hand slightly, signaling Bai Guo not to worry.
In fact, the reason why this happened was naturally because of Lei Xiao's order.
The two elite squadrons that came with Princess Ariel were confined to the barracks near the Lord's Mansion in Kongqing Town, and they were not allowed to go out at will.
Therefore, it is reasonable for Qing Shu, the deputy squadron leader of the guard, to be unable to ask for leave to go to Mailan Town.
Immediately, Lei Xiao told Bai Guo all the ins and outs of the matter.
"So that's how it is."
Bai Guo nodded, then smiled confidently, stroked Lei Xiao's chest and saluted, "I would like to report to my lord, the matter of taking over my brother should be handled by my subordinates, please rest assured, my lord."
"Very good. In this way, the two current subjugation targets, the maid Xinghui and the deputy squadron leader Qingshu, are already under my control."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, with a satisfied expression on his face.
Next, while exercising his muscles and bones, Lei Xiao said to the young female castellan of Mailan Town, "By the way, Xuan Yue, how are the two commanders of the third-tier garrison under your command?"
"Returning to Lord Lord, since Lord Lord left that day, these two people have shown great enthusiasm. When cleaning up the remnants of the three elders, they have always been at the forefront."
Xuan Yue smiled, and then responded: "My subordinate guessed that after seeing the lord's arrogance that day, the two intestines were almost remorseful. It is conceivable that if they had not remained neutral at that time, and If you choose to show your loyalty to us, you may also be rewarded by the lord."
"I see."
Smiling lightly, Lei Xiao turned around and walked out of the piled treasure house, while turning his head to ask: "So, these two are pretty good?"
"Lord Master, that's exactly the case."
Xuan Yue quickly lifted the hem of her skirt, followed Lei Xiao and said, "These two have been in Mailan Town for more than ten years, and there is absolutely no problem with their character."
Having said that, Xuan Yue's eyes lit up, and she said again: "If the lord is interested, how about taking these two people under his command? In this way, the town of Mailan will be completely settled down."
"Alright, tell them to come see me."
With a slight nod, Lei Xiao walked out of the treasure house.
...
A moment later, Lei Xiao looked around in the spacious and bright main hall of the main castle of Mailan Town.
At this time, the place has already been cleaned, even the rough and clear marble floor tiles have been polished, and there is a faint fragrance of flowers in the air.
These aromas come from the two bright and colorful small flower beds around the throne of the city lord at the top.
If you observe carefully, you can see that these colorful flowers are in the shape of translucent crystals and exude a faint fluorescence, just like pieces of exquisite works of art, which make people feel dizzy.
When I came here last time, I didn't have these.
It seems that it should be Xuanyue's personal hobbies.
All in all, everything is simply unimaginable. Not long ago, this place was a battlefield full of corpses.
"My lord, this is a rare magical flower that needs to be watered with a little magic power. I have cultivated it for many years, but it has never bloomed."
Seeing Lei Xiao's expression of interest, Xuan Yue smiled and introduced softly: "It wasn't until the subordinates were promoted to the third level that they began to compete to bloom. Speaking of which, it was thanks to the lord. "
"I see."
Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly while standing in front of the flower clusters to observe.
A moment later, there was a crisp sound of armor colliding.
Two burly figures appeared at the entrance of the hall, they were the two garrison commanders of Mailan Town.
Seeing Xuan Yue, these two people bowed immediately to salute.
Immediately afterwards, when they saw Lei Xiao standing calmly not far away, they all couldn't help but look happy, and hurriedly gave Lei Xiao a standard knight's salute.
Before this, the scene of Lei Xiao being strong and spending money like water obviously left a very deep impression on the two of them.
"Commander of Bran's Cavalry, Commander of Maier's Infantry, you must be familiar with this lord, right?"
As the city lord, Xuan Yue also bowed respectfully to Lei Xiao first, and then said: "At that time, if this lord hadn't made a move, I'm afraid the city lord standing in front of you would no longer be me."
Hearing this, the two commanders of the garrison couldn't help showing a bit of embarrassment, and one of them said quickly: "My lord, at that time, the two of us didn't understand it for a while, and now we regret it very much. "
After all, expressions of remorse appeared on the resolute faces of the two of them.
Otherwise, they would undoubtedly be able to get acquainted with this young man with a profound background.
"Now is your second chance."
Xuan Yue smiled at the two, and after obtaining Lei Xiao's permission, she told them about Lei Xiao's identity as the lord of another world.
Of course, it also includes Lei Xiao's important goals at this stage, matters with Princess Ariel and his party, as well as the matter of changing clothes for all the members of Mailan Town, providing a large amount of third-level equipment and Qi Condensation Pills, and forming a guard force.
At the same time, the knotweed exuding a mighty aura had already completely sealed the entire room, and the two of them were even more stunned.
Even Chaoyan, who had just risen to the fourth-tier powerhouse, deliberately stood beside the two of them, showing her mighty aura, with an unfathomable expression on her pretty face.
At this moment, there was a huge wave in the hearts of the two of them.
Originally, they thought that the young big shot in front of them should be the son of a wealthy noble family.
However, only now did they realize that this calm-faced young man obviously possessed much more energy than they had imagined, and it was almost to the point of admiration!
Realizing this, the two of them knelt down on one knee without any hesitation, bowed their heads deeply to Lei Xiao, and said in unison: "The subordinates are willing to be loyal to the lord! Willing to die for the lord!"
"Then, let's start signing the contract."
Slightly nodding his head, Lei Xiao lowered his body and helped the two of them up one by one. Immediately, two third-tier recruitment orders gleaming with silver lights appeared in his hands.
After a while, the familiar success notification sound began to ring in Lei Xiao's ears one after another.
[Congratulations, Tier 3 and 2 star light knight Bran Iron Cavalry has signed a master-servant contract with you and has become your new subordinate! 】
【Congratulations, the third-tier two-star great swordsman Maier Stormwind has signed a master-servant contract with you and has become your new subordinate! 】
Seeing that everything was going smoothly, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction, and then opened the property bar of the two.
【Name: Bran】
【Occupation: Light Knight】
[Class: Tier 3, 2 Star]
【Loyalty: 100】
[Skill 1: Quick thrust "Active" (physical single target attack, additional shield-breaking effect and armor-piercing effect)]
[Skill 2: Immediate cross slash "active" (physical single target attack)]
[Skill 3: Sword and gun mastering "passive" (when using a long sword or a lance, the damage is slightly increased)]
【Name: Maier】
【Occupation: Great Swordsman】

【Loyalty: 100】
[Skill 1: Leaping Heavy Slash "Active" (Physical single target attack, additional serious injury effect)]
[Skill 2: Storm Slash "Active" (small-scale physical attack)]
[Skill 3: Great Sword Mastery "Passive" (when using a big sword, the damage is slightly increased)]
After closing the property bar, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
With the allegiance of the two commanders of the Tier 3 garrison, the stability of Mailan Town will undoubtedly be further consolidated and improved!
"Okay, Bran, Maier, take all of these."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao's heart moved slightly, a Tier 3 cavalry gun and a Tier 3 two-handed sword, two pieces of Tier 3 plate armor, two storage rings, and 15 Tier 1 potions and 15 Tier 1 potions each as standard. The second-order potions appeared in their hands one after another.
"Thank you very much, Lord Lord!"
After receiving the priceless items from Lei Xiao, the two of them were overjoyed, and they bowed their heads deeply to Lei Xiao again.
"When I'm not around, help Xuanyue manage Mailan Town well. If I make great contributions in the future, I will have other rewards."
Nodding his head slightly, Lei Xiao raised his hand, motioning for the two to get up.
After finishing all this, Lei Xiao, who was sitting on the throne in the hall, discussed with Xuanyue some other matters about Mailan Town, such as increasing food production, recruiting new soldiers, and food support for Magnetic Town.
It wasn't until it was nearly dusk that Lei Xiao, under the watchful eyes of Xuan Yue and others, left Mailan Town with a group of strong men and galloped towards Kongqing Town. Of course, he also brought Ginkgo with him.
By the time they returned to Kongqing Town, the sky was already getting dark.
Lin, Fang Hai, and Guan Zhong also reunited with Lei Xiao at the Lord's Mansion of Kongqing Town not long after returning from Magnet Town.
"My lord, my subordinates have transferred hundreds of carriages from Kongqing Town just now, and are heading towards Magnetic Town, preparing to pick up the residents who have moved there."
In the hall of the City Lord's Mansion in Kongqing Town, the dusty Lin took a step forward, bowed to Lei Xiao and reported: "While the subordinates are waiting for the three of them to return, they have already sent the maid Xinghui's parents and younger sister Xinghui back to you." After picking it up, it was placed in a property near the City Lord's Mansion, belonging to the Shanglu Fair."
"very good."
Lei Xiao nodded in satisfaction, and looked at Bai Guo, who was quite curious when he came here for the first time.
So far, after a little twists and turns, the preparations for taking over the two third-tier attendants beside Ariel, Xinghui and Qingshu, have been completed.
"If that's the case, let's start with Aoki who is the vice captain of the guard."
Seeing Bai Guo's expectant expression, Lei Xiao smiled faintly.
...
Not far from the city lord's mansion of Kongqing Town, there was a former idle barracks.
Now the Royal Guard and Maid Corps directly under the Princess, as well as Lei Xiao's two Great Swordsman Squadrons and Magician Squadrons are stationed.
At this moment, the sky has completely darkened.
On the dark blue night sky, there are stars dotted with two bright waning moons, exuding pale golden brilliance.
Under the night sky, in the huge barracks, people were buzzing everywhere, the smell of food was overflowing, and it was time for dinner.
Although Lei Xiao strictly ordered the two elite squadrons under Ariel's command not to leave the barracks.
However, it provides excellent accommodation and delicious food.
Moreover, during the meal time, Lei Xiao deliberately arranged the three elite squadrons under his command next to the opponent.
From time to time, they talked about the high-quality treatment of some territories, such as the Qi Condensation Pill that may be rewarded at any time, and more powerful Tier 4 equipment, etc.
Hearing these second-tier soldiers under the command of the princess, they were all dumbfounded.
As elite fighters selected layer by layer, although their treatment can be said to be the highest in the entire Cold Flame Kingdom.
But rewarding Qi Condensation Pills worth tens of thousands of golden dragons at any time, and fourth-tier equipment worth hundreds of thousands of golden dragons... For them, it is undoubtedly an extremely incredible thing.
So much so that the vast majority of soldiers are skeptical about this.
However, thinking of Lei Xiao's side, there is still the loyalty of a fifth-order powerhouse, and even Princess Ariel is not in his eyes.
The hearts of these soldiers were further shocked.
Thus, Lei Xiao's goal has been achieved.
At least in the hearts of these elite soldiers, an unfathomable image has been established, which not only serves as a deterrent, but also lays a good foundation for the next step.
Having said that, in the barracks at this time, many soldiers had already finished their dinner and began to walk in groups to the dormitory not far away.
"Vice Captain Qingshu, what are you thinking?"
Among the crowd in twos and threes, I saw a young captain of the guard standing in front of a burly commander who seemed to be in deep thought, and said doubtfully.
Immediately afterwards, following the line of sight of the burly commander, the young team leader noticed.
The usually unsmiling vice-captain turned his attention to a group of battle maids not far away who were covering their mouths and laughing.
Seeing this, the young team leader suddenly showed a bright expression, and said: "Vice-captain, this subordinate happens to know a few pretty maids who are single, do you need to..."
"Don't talk nonsense."
He casually gave the team leader a chestnut, and the vice-captain named Qingshu took off his helmet.
While sighing softly, there was a rare warmth on the resolute face and said: "I just suddenly remembered my sister, I haven't seen her for a few years, and I don't know how she is doing now, I think it should be like this Are you slim?"
Just when the two of them said this.
Among the crowd, a slender figure with a ponytail suddenly appeared in front of him.
bang.
The helmet in his hand fell to the ground, and Qingshu's resolute face suddenly revealed an expression of disbelief.
