Vol 42 Chapter 9: :gift

Iron Castle, the backstreet of the slums.
This is an abandoned factory area. In the huge courtyard, in addition to overgrown weeds, there are also many rusty cargo boxes. At this time, in this deserted courtyard, a lot of eyes are standing. Orcs with a lazy look.
Some of them are orcs, some are snake people, and some are wild beasts that stand up from people, and even the Shumao tribe, who is higher than the factory building, is sitting on the fence.
This tree-mao clan held between the big-hand-shaped branches with a root of nearly 1 meter long and thick arms. After taking a deep breath, he did not exhale, but green smoke appeared between the branches on his head.
And not far away, it was a combination of cows and horses. To be precise, it was a celebrity horse clan talking with a tauren in a low voice. Their eyes floated to a nearby snake girl from time to time, but they didn’t. Dare to come forward to strike up a conversation.
This Snake Girl is the Toman branch of the Snake People family. In addition to the fangs in the mouth, there is a cat's claw-like venom on the fingertips of the right hand. The Toman branch is extremely poisonous.
The reason why so many talents from all walks of life have gathered here is because of the assistance of the local earthworm Ergin. It can be said that more than 90% of the capable but inferior guys in the slums have been summoned by him through various channels.
From this incident, we can see how strong Ergein’s heart is, he is clearly prepared to engage more of his own people, and then constantly test Su Xiao’s methods. If Su Xiao’s hands and eyes are open, then Ergein He won't be easily rebellious, but once he finds that Su Xiao is strong in the outside world, Ergein will gradually reveal his ambitions.
Please don’t get me wrong. Ergin is not going to be an enemy. He just wants to be the lord of the orc, especially the lord without a fief. The ownership of the lord badge has always been relatively vague. , And this is why, Grand Commander Kane is willing to use the position of the lord as a bargaining chip for cooperation.
Su Xiao admired the Ergoinla gang's gang formation. Yes, it was praise. The most worrying thing about him now is that he can't recruit people. As long as he gathers up to 100 elite units, he can set out to hunt on the main battlefield. , After fighting with the enemy, your team will definitely be killed or injured. At that time, you can recruit the defeated leader on the main battlefield to supplement the team's number.
Su Xiao can be sure that the team originally formed, even with the Lord of the Sun bonus, will not be a boss team. It can only become a boss team after undergoing the tempering of the main battlefield, eliminating one after another, and joining the next few rounds. At that time, you can work on the "Whitehoe Harbor" and "Ancestral Lighthouse" on the opposite side of the main battlefield.
Let's not talk about surprise attacks on these places, you can get a lot of camp reputation. Once the surprise attacks are successful, a large amount of materials are stored in the material warehouses of these two important sea clan sites.
In fact, there is a more ideal lineup, which is to find a flying alien, capture it alive, and use it as a flying unit to carry members of the boss team. This way, whether it is a surprise attack or retreat, it will be more flexible. .
In the abandoned factory building, a wooden table was placed here, and the contract scroll was placed on the table. Su Xiao was sitting behind the table, and opposite the beasts were waiting in line.
The content of the assessment is very simple. Check the information first, as long as it reaches the "Elite level", and then the other party signs on the contract scroll, even if it joins the lord, it is as simple as that the dozens of orcs that have joined on the side are all untrue. feel.
"I am the leader of the third unit of the original Bloodjaw Legion, once because of..."
Before Snake Sister's words were finished, Baha said, "You have been hired."
"I used to..."
Snake Sister was just about to take the initiative to expose her dark history, but she saw Ergoin, Viper, and Evil Tooth. This made her relieved. All three recruited. Then she had made mistakes with the children. Stealing lollipops is almost the same.
Recruitment proceeded smoothly in this wonderful atmosphere. At noon that day, a team of 120 members was formed. The leader was the Human Race, and the second was the Pureblood Orcs. Not only that, but there were also Shumao Races in the team. , Blood orcs, wild orcs, red dwarves, centaurs, mixed-blood elves, ghosts, and many races in the orc lineup, this team contains at least one third.
Some applicants who failed to join the team left cursingly. Obviously, it is impossible to expect these murderers to show demeanor. Fortunately, no one cares about this.
Under Su Xiao’s gesture, Eminem brought up a large sealed box filled with Sodor. The so-called Sodor is a large amount of currency for the orc camp, because it is made of precious metals and presents a dark golden color. Most contractors are more accustomed to calling them orc gold coins, or more simplified, calling Sodor directly as gold coins.
With a bang, Eminem smashed open the corners of the big box, and the gold coins in it splashed out. The eyes of the orcs present were straight, even thinking about it. If they had enough money, how could they stay in the slums of Iron Fortress. .
The former elites or leaders of these orcs, their only good at fighting, but because they were removed from their legions, they basically had no source of income.
"Look here, everyone. There are 10 Sodors per person. From now until 12 noon, how you want to use the money is entirely up to your personal wishes."
Baha, Eminem, and Boubowan began to distribute gold coins. Since there were not many people, they finished the distribution in a short time. Ergein squeezed the money bag with 50 gold coins in his hand, and looked at the empty Viper in his hands. And evil tooth, questioningly asked: "Don't you have it?"
"We look down on this little money."
As Evil Teeth spoke, he smiled disdainfully, while Viper lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Ergoin poured out 20 gold coins from his purse, which made the look in Evil Tooth's eyes different, so he said: ‘Brother, I’ll confuse with you in the future. ’
"First use 20 Suoduo to have fun. I'm lost, both of you."
Ergein left with a smile, and ignored the two silently scented people behind. As for giving 10 gold coins to each of Viper and Evil Tooth, Ergein would not do it. Only if he rewards his subordinate is a lord. It's true that Ergein is rebellious, but he is not stupid at all. On the contrary, he pays considerable attention to maintaining the majesty of Lord Su Xiao.
If someone stood up and questioned that Su Xiao was an unfellow lord and should not have real power, Urgein would definitely stand up and kill the person who said this.
The orcs who got the gold coins left one after another. After a while, only Viper and Evil Teeth were left. The two of them were drinking sullen wine and looked up at Su Xiao from time to time. After that, they mumbled and didn't know what to say. .
"..."
Su Xiao, who was finishing the contract scroll, frowned. He looked at Viper and Evil Tooth, and noticed his gaze. Both Viper and Evil Tooth fought a cold war, trotting to the front of the wooden table, tied his hands on standby.
Su Xiao casually picked up two purses on the table, threw them to the two guys opposite, and said, "Get away."
"Yes yes yes, get out now, get out now."
Evil Tooth took the purse and slipped away. Viper didn't leave immediately. He hesitated and said, "Sir, I'm worried that those guys won't come back if they collect the money."
"..."
Su Xiao checked the movement of the name on the scroll, and raised his eyes to look at the Viper on the opposite side.
"It's such an adult, these guys don't care much about the contract, and there are professionals in this Iron Fortress who provide contract avoidance. I'm not saying that you will care about the money, an adult, but those guys have benefited for no reason. If I don’t do anything for you yet, in my heart, I am angry! I..."
At this point, Su Xiao raised his hand to interrupt, he took another money bag and threw it to Viper. Viper immediately put it in his arms after receiving it, but said in his mouth: "My lord, I am not asking you for credit. I am really worried about your loss..."
"Eminem, hang him up and beat him up."
Su Xiao spoke, and after hearing the words, Eminem got up.
"Now go, go now."
Viper backed away with a smile on his face, but fixed his eyes on the remaining money bags on the table, and left a little unwillingly.
Su Xiao put away the contract scroll. At this stage, his men are really full of talents. There are people who are rebellious, there are lightspeed walls, and the coexistence of cunning + cruelty. The team has 120 members, and one counts one. , Checking the information one by one, there is no loyalty that exceeds 50 points. What's more, 10 people together can not make up 100 loyalty points.
Su Xiao picked up a gold coin on the table and bounced it up with a ding sound. The gold coin whirled in mid-air and then fell. However, not a single foot was on the gold coin.
This makes Su Xiao wonder, is it possible that Caesar hasn't entered this world yet? Calculating the time, that guy should disguise his identity, mix in the second batch of contractors, and take a spaceship to enter the world.
With an attitude of giving it a try, Su Xiao took out a soul coin and bounced it up with a ding sound. The soul coin whirled and brought some light particles. When it fell, it was a thin and not too big hand. Hold it tightly.
"My dear friend, you seem to be looking for me?"
Caesar, who was in the united state of the human pot, appeared with a treacherous smile, but the soul coin in his hand had disappeared without a trace, and the soul coin was in Caesar's hand, naturally.
"I called a small team, but in terms of weapons and armor, it hasn't settled yet."
Su Xiao has been thinking about how to deal with this aspect. More than one hundred sets of boss-level standard armor + weapons are a huge expense, and he will definitely not be able to spend this amount when he has no fief.
Baha began to explain the current situation to Caesar. The more Caesar listened, the brighter the light in those eyes. In the end, he slapped his thigh and said: "My dear friend, have you forgotten, Cain The commander-in-chief has promised us hundreds of suits, and there are proofs."
After saying this, Caesar put a voucher on the table, which Baha just took out when he explained the situation. This voucher was given by Cain to the material library for 2,000 gold coins. This voucher has now been scrapped.
After a while, Caesar took out all kinds of bottles and cans. In less than an hour, a weapon and armor call approval were placed on the table, with the signature of General Kane and the badge printed on it. After seeing this thing, Baja asked a little worried: "Kane, won't you turn your face on us because of this, right?"
"Of course not. We are adjusting supplies in Iron Castle. These supplies are not Kane's. He turned his face away."
"The Lord of the Iron Fortress..."
"It's okay. This is Kane's personal approval. This is a great favor. The city lord and the general are missing three levels of official positions. The city lord of Iron Castle is more willing to admit that this batch of text is true than anyone."
"Then how do we get through the Iron Fortress Supply Office? Even if both Kane and the City Lord approve this batch, but the Iron Fortress Supply Office does not recognize it, we can't help it."
Speaking of this, Baha was worried. Without these weapons, armor, etc., the more than one hundred orcs recruited this time would not be willing to set foot on the main battlefield.
"How can I not recognize the voucher I issued?"
Caesar looked at Baha with a treacherous smile. Baha suddenly realized that the quartermaster of the Iron Fortress was right in front of him. Before that, he was wondering why Caesar didn't come to gather. It turned out that he had already started to profit.
As soon as Caesar entered this world, he came to be the quartermaster of the Iron Castle. This is not a coincidence. This guy has guessed that Su Xiao will definitely go to the main battlefield to gain prestige, and the best starting point to go to the main battlefield is iron. Fort City.
"My dear friend, shall we take prestige..."
Caesar smiled wickedly and rubbed his hands. The implication was obvious, that is, to do something to speed up the speed of gaining prestige.
"Being not."
Hearing what Su Xiao said, Caesar was suspicious.
"When I have a fief, you will find a way to become a quartermaster of the Sea Clan."
"Well, um~, pretty good."
The center of Caesar's pupils showed a pale yellow light. Various operations have been brewing in his mind. Buying goods in his camp store? No, the real superb operation is to go to the enemy's camp store to purchase goods.
The Orcs and the Seas have been evenly matched for many years, so from the richness of the Orcs camp store, you can infer how the Seas camp store will be. Perhaps Su Xiao has the capital to attack the "extremely strong".
Su Xiao fully expanded the lineup list, selected battlefield missions, and then began to look for his favorite missions in it. The content is as follows:
[Faction Mission·Capture/Surprise Whitehoof Harbor. 】
Difficulty level: ★★～★★★★ (The difficulty of the camp mission is ★～★★★★★).
Brief description of the task: Because the sea tribe occupies the Whitehoof Harbor, which is close to the main battlefield, and uses this as a landing buffer zone, the orc armies are under tremendous pressure.
Reward for capturing Whitehoof Harbor: 38000 reputation points (occupy at least 2 natural days).
Surprise attack on Whitehoof Harbor reward: 500～37000 reputation points (according to the number of enemies killed in the surprise attack and the degree of damage to the building).
Mission time limit: 3 natural days.
Task penalty: reputation value-1000 points.
…
【Faction Mission·Destroy the Ancestral Lighthouse. 】
Difficulty level: ★★★★★
Brief description of the mission: Destroy this landmark building, frustrating the morale of all the Marine Corps.
Task reward: 45,000 reputation points.
Mission time limit: 5 natural days.
Task penalty: reputation value-5000 points.
…
【Faction Mission·Soul Fountain. 】
Difficulty level: ★★★★★
Brief description of the task: Destroy the source of soul on Floating Island, causing the mist of soul on the island and the surrounding waters to disperse, exposing the Wraiths to the sun.
Task reward: 54900 prestige points.
Mission time limit: 10 natural days.
Task penalty: reputation value -3200 points.
…
None of the top lineup missions on the list are suitable for doing now. Just killing the enemy on the battlefield or destroying the enemy’s important buildings can also gain reputation, but compared with the faction missions, the efficiency of the former is much worse. .
Su Xiao looked down for a while and quickly found a very good faction mission. This is a small sea fortress on the edge of the main battlefield. According to reliable sources, a batch of energy crystals will be transported out of the crystal forest tonight. , And then stay in this fortress for one night, not only to complete the follow-up processing, but also to allow the transportation team to rest.
This task only rewards 1200 reputation points, but the total income should be around 3000 prestige points, including killing enemies and robbing supplies. Considering that the team has just been formed at the moment, it is the best choice to try the water with this small fortress.
Time passed by one minute and one second. When the time came to noon, the abandoned factory building still looked empty, with only Su Xiao sitting steadily, and the three of Ergein, Viper, and Evil Teeth on the side. As for the remaining more than 100 The members obviously didn't plan to come back after they got the gold coins, or in other words, they didn't believe that Su Xiao was the lord.
"My lord, I'll get those guys back one by one."
Ergein opened his mouth, saying this is both a loyalty and temptation.
"Everyone has his own ambitions. Besides, don't you see that someone has come back."
While Su Xiao was talking, a Centaur raced into the abandoned factory building. As soon as he rushed in, the Centaur, who was almost soaked in sweat, fell to the ground. His face was on the ground, his mouth was breathing heavily, and his muscles , Because of the severe pain in the soul from time to time, it hurts.
The next second, a wailing Shumao clan rushed in, and as soon as he fell to the ground, a puff of green juice was sprayed from his mouth. I wonder if this was the Shumao clan version of blood.
The orcs who had signed the contract in the morning rushed to the abandoned factory building one after another, and the lonely atmosphere just became lively.
Su Xiao glanced at the time, at exactly 12 o'clock, all the 120 members of the lord team arrived.
"Everyone is very punctual, none of them are late."
Baha's words caused all the orcs to stare, and one of the leopard clan suddenly disappeared in place, and the sharp claws grabbed Su Xiao's side neck.
With a scream, a layer of transparent coating blocked the attack of the Xun Leopard tribe. The folded arm blade on the Xun Leopard tribe's arm bounced away, like a metal claw, and tore at Su Xiao, ready to catch the thief first. Wang, and forced Su Xiao to surrender the contract scroll.
Noisy! Noisy!
Mars was splattered all over, after a set of smooth and powerful combos of the Xun Leopards, they failed to break the soul plating of [Night of the Wild Hunt]. In fact, this is forgivable. The soul plating of 140,000 points of durability makes it possible. The elite group of the orcs of the Xun Leopard is broken, and it is too difficult for him to be true, plus he has not yet received the bonus of the title of the sun lord.
It was originally a thrilling attack, but at this moment, it was suddenly embarrassed. The Xun Leopard clan leaped back with full force. When he was in the middle of the air, Su Xiao pressed the handle of the knife with one hand at a not fast speed. At the same time as the demon was released, The demon, like black and blue smoke, forms a blade whip with a precise arc.
Snapped!
The blood feathers exploded, and a piece of broken arm blades spun on the wall. As for where the Xun Leopard clan had gone, the big blood mist dispersed in the air was the Xun Leopard clan.
"Everyone, if you are dissatisfied with the content of the contract, then don't waste our time. Let's go together. Although I am a lord, I am not good at using force, but I will also have combat ability."
As Su Xiao spoke, he drew the long knife around his waist, and for the first time released blood to these orcs. As the blood dissipated, the eyes of the orcs present immediately became clearer. In a short time, the loyalty changed The average is around 20 o'clock, and it rises to just over 30 o'clock per capita.
There are many reasons for this. Not only are they afraid of Su Xiao’s aura, but also because the orcs present feel that following such a powerful lord, there are actually quite a few prerequisites. With a little hope for the future, loyalty will naturally be somewhat. promote.
Compared with these guys, the increase in Viper's loyalty is quite amazing. It soared directly from 10 to 85. Considering this guy's horrible personality, such an increase is not worth a surprise.
Evil Teeth’s loyalty increased normally. At 30 points, only Ergein, this guy’s loyalty seems to be locked at -20 points. It seems that this guy is full of admiration and admiration at the moment, but his loyalty is 1 point. It's not up.
"Don't be stunned, here."
Baha flew outside the abandoned factory building. A few minutes later, all the orcs were in several vehicles. It is worth mentioning that the vehicles of the orcs are generally very large, all of which are three-story structures. You only need to remove the interior You can sit in the seat frame of a large race such as the Shumao tribe.
Several trucks departed from the slums, and after going around the city, they drove into the parking lot of the supply depot. As soon as they got out of the car, Caesar, wearing a formal suit, came forward with his head raised and his chest raised. Caesar still looked wicked.
"Where did you come from?"
Caesar carried his hands behind his back and looked impatient. Seeing this, Baja quietly stuffed a purse over, and the men on either side of Caesar immediately chose to lose sight for the time being.
"Ah~, show me the approval note."
After receiving the approval, Caesar immediately changed his expression and said with a bit of flattery: "It turned out to be the approval of Lord Kane, please, please."
Caesar gestured to the guard in front of the storehouse while making a please gesture: "Open storeroom No. 5."
"But... Mr. Caesar, there is no Lord City Lord..."
"Come on, this is the personal approval of Lord Kane," Caesar walked forward and said in a low voice as he spoke, "You are stupid, regardless of what is going on with those big people, you and I follow orders, no one should be guilty. ."
Due to Caesar's height, the guard who leaned over to listen repeatedly nodded and said, "Yes, I listen to you."
After a while, the storeroom opened. The strange thing was that the door of the storehouse was closed after all members of the leader team entered the storeroom.
With a click, the lights in the storeroom turned on, and Baha said: "Hurry up and find the armor and weapons that suit you, up to 10 minutes, fast!"
Hearing this, all the orcs knew that there was something tricky in this matter, and began to pay close attention to choosing armors, weapons, etc. Su Xiao walked among the rows of shelves, and every time he touched a armor, he stored its income. In the space.
The whole journey took 20 minutes. The lord team drove away from the supply office. Not long after they had left here, a black vehicle stopped in the courtyard of the supply office. The lord of Iron Castle got off the vehicle, walking slightly in a hurry.
Caesar in the dark saw the city lord rushing over, he brewed his emotions, and then rushed out quickly. Before the city lord could react, Caesar was already kneeling and hugging his thigh, Caesar snorted and cried loudly. Said: "My Lord City Lord, you have to call the shots for me!"
"!"
City Lord Fetz showed an angry face. As soon as he was about to reprimand, Caesar interrupted his spellcasting and cried out loudly: "My lord, someone just mentioned the materials with the approval of Mr. Kane. The young one just said something to see your approval. That group just kicked me out so far."
"Say, who picked up the supplies?"
City Master Fetz was sullen in his heart, with killing intent hidden in his eyes.
"He calls himself White Night, a lord."
"Who?!"
Lord Fetz frowned.
"That man calls himself Lord of the White Nights."
"this…"
City Lord Fetz put on a mask of pain a bit. After receiving the supplies list, he pondered for a moment and said, "Just take it as it has never happened."
"How can this work?!"
Caesar's expression seemed to explode. Seeing this, City Lord Fitz narrowed his eyes.
"Sir, you have the final say."
Caesar fainted at once, and City Master Fitz could only say to comfort him: "I know that you tried your best to stop it. Thanks for your hard work, leave this to you, I don't worry."
…
The main battlefield, the edge zone, in the dense forest on the east side of the Crystal Forest.
Su Xiao sat on a tree branch and looked at the time. It was only three o'clock in the afternoon. According to intelligence, the transportation team could only transport a batch of energy crystals from the "Crystal Forest" to the small fortress at around five o'clock in the evening. As for why the teleportation array is not needed, the Orcs and Sea Races have tried, but the energy crystals are all exploded.
Therefore, this kind of strategic materials can only be escorted by one by one transport team. First, they will be transported from the Crystal Forest to the small fortress. After processing, they will be sent to the "Whitehoe Harbor" by another team in the fortress. "Ancestral Lighthouse", then transfer to the "Reef Island", and finally to the base camp of the sea clan.
"My lord, the latest information has arrived. In about 2 hours, the enemy transport team will arrive near our ambush point."
A ghost clan scout opened his mouth. This person is not a member of the lord team. After Su Xiao accepted the mission of the "Intercept Transport Team", he was responsible for providing information on the mission. The mission of this lineup is almost It is available throughout the year, and naturally there is a corresponding investigation team.
"Who is leading the transport team this time? What is the level of combat power?"
Baha spoke, and hearing Baha’s question, the scout replied: "This time the leader is a spellcaster."
"Spellcaster?"
Su Xiao was surprised. I didn’t expect the Sea Clan to trust the caster more than expected. Hearing what the scout said, this caster seemed to take the Sea Clan to act alone, and there were no other casters around, which greatly reduced Su Xiao’s killing intent. .
The reason is that Su Xiao remembered one thing. Before, the crow girl held the "Book of Necro" and brought the "Book of Necro" back to the Arcane Eternal Star. Can the caster this time also do this? ?
In this way, it seems to be able to give gifts to the Arcane Eternal Star again. Last time I asked the crow girl to bring the "gift" called "The Book of the Necronomicon" to the Arcane Eternal Star. It can be described as "overjoyed" over there. But this time, as long as the caster is captured alive, he can choose one of three among "Book of the Necropolis", "Crown of Soul", and "Nether Bone Ring".
