Chapter 534: Surrounding situation
"It seems that I have another general under my command."
Looking at Auer with a respectful expression in front of him, Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and a fourth-order recruitment order with a faint golden metallic luster appeared on the palm of his hand.
Next, it didn't take long.
The familiar reminder sounded in Lei Xiao's ears.
[Congratulations, Ole Fengchi, the fourth-level three-star cracking wind magician, has signed a master-servant contract with you and has become your new subordinate!
Hearing this, Lei Xiao helped the city lord Fanyin up in front of him, and at the same time opened the opponent's attribute bar.
Name: Al
Occupation: Great Mage of Split Wind
[Class: Tier 4 Samsung]
Loyalty: 100
[Skill 1: Wind Dragon Assault "Active" (Single attack with wind attribute spells, with tearing effect)]
[Skill 2: Wind Demon Strangling "Active" (wind attribute spell group attack, with tearing effect)]
[Skill 3: Storm Tornado "Active" (Wind attribute spell wide-area attack, additional tearing effect)]
[Skill 4: Wind Attribute Magic Mastery "Passive" (When using Wind Attribute Magic, moderately increases the damage)]
"From now on, Fanyin City, an important commercial hub, is under my control!"
After closing the attribute bar, Lei Xiao couldn't help showing an excited look on his face.
In this way, coupled with Kongqing Town, which is also a commercial hub, it is undoubtedly tantamount to choking the economic lifeline of most of Lengyan's eastern region.
When necessary, as long as the flow of goods is slightly controlled, the hostile forces will naturally be greatly affected in all aspects of life.
Of course, with huge funds in hand, I can also further expand the material reserves, laying a solid foundation for possible crises in the future.
Thinking of this, while being excited, Lei Xiao immediately said to Orr in front of him: "Okay, Lord Orr, let's get out of here first, I still have something to ask you."
"Obey! Your lord!"
At this time, Orr, who had just signed the contract, was obviously still a little excited, and nodded repeatedly.
In this way, under Orr's guidance.
After leaving the dungeon, Lei Xiao and his party returned along the corridor they came from, and finally came to a spacious and bright meeting hall.
"My lord, please take your seat."
After closing the double doors of the hall again, Orr bowed again and saluted.
"Very good, first describe the general situation of Fanyin City."
Slightly nodding his head, Lei Xiao said as he walked towards the throne at the top.
Next, through Orr's description, Lei Xiao learned about it.
After years of careful training by Orr, the garrison of Fanyin City has a total size of 8,000 people.
Among them, there are three infantry brigades, two cavalry brigades, two archer brigades, and a tactical support brigade composed of magicians, priests, and guards.
In addition, Fanyin City also has five elite second-tier guard squadrons.
Including what Lei Xiao had seen before, a squadron of rangers who were good at detection, a squadron of magicians, a squadron of knights, and two squadrons of heavy infantry.
Moreover, whether it is the captain of the garrison or the squadron leader of the guards, they have all reached the third level.
"Well done, this kind of strength is almost the sum of the two cities of Shuiyue and Fenglong."
After listening to Orr's military introduction, Lei Xiao nodded in satisfaction.
"Thank you Lord Lord for your appreciation."
Bowing slightly to Lei Xiao, Orr first smiled shyly.
Afterwards, a look of helplessness appeared on his grey-haired face, and he continued: "Because of this, a large amount of military expenditure has caused Fanyin City's financial situation to remain at a slightly profitable level. , so that the subordinates did not save much wealth."
"This statement is wrong. Aren't these well-trained garrison and guards the biggest wealth?"
Smiling slightly, Lei Xiao said, "From today onwards, Fanyin City's strength will reach a new level!"
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao waved his hand casually, and five hundred boxes full of golden dragons appeared in the hall.
"Here are 5 million golden dragons."
Looking at Auer's astonished expression, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and said, "These funds are used for two reasons. First, it is necessary to expand the garrison of Fanyin City to the size of a legion as soon as possible. As for the equipment, I will go down to When I come here, I will do a full facelift.
The second is to secretly purchase a large amount of supplies in the city, mainly food and daily necessities. "
Needless to say, the purpose of Lei Xiao's doing this is naturally to win by chance, in case of emergencies, war is inherently intriguing, and crushing the opponent economically is also a way to use military tactics.
"Lord, please rest assured, this subordinate knows what to do."
Hearing the sound, Aur's face suddenly showed a knowing expression.
Then he responded: "The business travelers in Fanyin City have all set up large and small warehouses in Fanyin City, and in recent years, their subordinates have also focused on building their own large-scale secret storage facilities. Simple."
"very good."
Nodding in satisfaction, Lei Xiao pondered for a while, and asked for Orr's staff and robe, the specific attributes are as follows:
[Name: Staff of Sylph]
[Grade: Tier 4? Epic (Purple)]
Attack Strength:
[Additional effect 1: Sylph's pursuit "When using wind attribute magic, the damage is increased by 40%)]
[Additional Effect 2: Sylph's Guardian "Wind Attribute Spell Damage Reduction 60%"]
[Remarks: The magic staff from the Winged Human Race, a race born with two wings, is not only good at thunder spells, but also very good at wind spells.
[Name: Robe of the King of Law]
[Grade: Tier 4? Epic (Purple)]
[Defense Strength: ]
[Additional effect 1: Magic power increase? Where "When using a spell, the damage is slightly increased"]
[Additional effect 2: magic protection? Where "slightly reduces damage received"]
[Remarks: Tier 4 robes made by elven magic craftsmen are standard equipment for first-line elven magicians, but in the human race, only high-level nobles or famous veterans can afford it.
Without hesitation, Lei Xiao started to upgrade directly.
[Congratulations, your "Level 4 Weapon: Staff of Sylph" has been upgraded to "Level 5 Weapon: Staff of Fengshen"!
[Congratulations, your "Tier 4 Armor: Robe of the King" has been upgraded to 101 pieces of "Tier 4 Armor: Robe of the King"!
"Has the weapon been upgraded to Tier 5? Not bad."
Slightly raising his eyebrows, Lei Xiao opened the attribute bar of the new weapon again.
[Name: Wand of the Wind God]
[Grade: Tier 5? Extraordinary (Silver)]
Attack Strength:
[Additional effect 1: Wrath of the Wind God (when using wind attribute magic, the damage is increased by 60%)]
[Additional effect 2: Wind God's Protection "80% damage reduction of wind attribute spells"]
[Remarks: This staff was made by a magic craftsman of the Winged Human Race. It is said that the final manufacturing steps were completed above the sky. The previous owner was a winged warrior of the Winged Human Race.
"It's perfect. This new staff will undoubtedly further strengthen Orr's wind spell ability!"
Nodding in satisfaction, Lei Xiao's heart moved slightly, and he handed back the upgraded Tier 5 staff and the Tier 4 robe from the beginning.
While handing it over, Lei Xiao couldn't help showing a pensive look on his face.
Just like I thought before.
The equipment level of the human race countries has a certain upper limit after all, the fifth level is already the peak level, and there are much more precious potions, not to mention.
So wait until the time comes.
If you want to develop further, you have to leave the place where the human race lives, and move towards a farther unfamiliar area to explore other races with extraordinary strength.
Of course, with his current power, he is still far from reaching the strength to compete with other powerful races.
After all, according to what Jiang Li said alone, the elves who had an enmity with her, the powerful fifth-level powerhouses, already had more than two hands.
"This is a fifth-level staff that is enough to protect the country?! Isn't this subordinate dreaming?!"
While Lei Xiao was thinking to himself, on the other side, Orr could hardly believe his eyes, and was instantly stunned on the spot.
Next, Al, who was trembling all over, was shocked and grateful, needless to say.
When the other party holding the staff regained his composure, Lei Xiao, who was sitting on the throne, took the teacup handed by the battle maid A Ling, and said again: "Okay, Al, what should we do now? Let's talk about business."
"My lord, please speak, your subordinates will know everything and say everything!"
Seeing that Orr's resolute face had already been completely replaced by excitement, he quickly responded.
"About the three princes, how much do you know about the power distribution in the eastern region of Lengyan?"
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao, who was holding a steaming cup of tea, asked immediately.
"My lord, as a commercial center with great mobility, Fanyin City can easily collect a lot of information provided by merchants and mercenaries. In addition, my subordinates like to analyze intelligence when they have nothing to do. I really have some information. Confidential information."
Bowing slightly to Lei Xiao, Orru said: "First of all, there is no doubt that the main sphere of influence of the eldest prince's faction is in the surrounding area centered on Songluo City, with a total force of about 70,000 to 80,000 troops scale."
After a pause, Orr continued: "That's why my subordinates are not very worried. The Holy Night Army will attack soon. After all, apart from the mountain fortress, if the Holy Night Army wants to drive straight in, there is also a group of cities composed of the eldest prince. second barrier."
"I see."
Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao took a sip of hot tea and nodded thoughtfully.
Before that, he had already learned that the lord of Songluo City, Marquis Luo Ji, was a loyal dog of the eldest prince's faction.
Unexpectedly, apart from Luo Ji, other surrounding cities have also secretly joined the camp of the eldest prince.
"However, Lord Lord, due to the mysterious disappearance of Luo Ji some time ago, Songluo City is still in a relatively chaotic state..."
Speaking of this, looking at Lei Xiao's calm expression, Auer suddenly understood: "It turns out that it is all the master's masterpiece, so it makes sense!"
Bowing slightly to Lei Xiao, Orr said again: "Na Luoji is the representative of the extermination faction among the nobles. It is said that he not only ruthlessly slaughtered all the alien lords in his sphere of influence, but also dispatched experienced elite The search team will assist other surrounding cities to encircle and suppress the alien lords."
"Obviously, he no longer has this ability."
Slightly raising his eyebrows, Lei Xiao responded lightly while putting down his teacup.
As for the Suppression Faction mentioned by Orr just now, Lei Xiao had already heard Ariel mention it before.
At present, there are roughly three attitudes towards the alien lords who suddenly descended on all parts of the world, including the Lengyan Kingdom, and the dignitaries of the human kingdoms.
The first type is the extermination faction with the largest number and the toughest attitude.
Advocates are incompatible with the lords of other worlds, and they must be completely wiped out so as not to affect the original power structure.
The second type is the lesser number of coexistence groups.
This part of the nobles and dignitaries argues that since there is such an incredible miracle as a lord from another world.
Then, there must be a deep meaning, and the alien lords who descended are all human races.
Therefore, it is natural not to kill at will, but to try to take the initiative to make friendly contacts and establish a channel for communication with each other.
The third type is the observation group with the smallest number.
This small group of dignitaries neither supports the first nor the second, and advocates that the same should be done in response to all changes, and they should see how things will develop before making plans.
"Your lord is indeed extraordinary, and his subordinates admire him very much!"
Sincerely flattering, Orr continued: "In addition to the power of the first prince, the second largest power in the eastern region of Leng Yan is the second prince."
Nodding slightly to Lei Xiao, Orr continued: "The Second Prince's forces here are located in the center of Lengyan's eastern region, with Tiege Fort as the core, with a total strength of about 60,000 to 70,000 troops. "
"Is it Tiegebao? It turns out that it is the site of the second prince."
Hearing the name of the place, Lei Xiao nodded slightly while looking at the teacup that was still rising.
About this ~Lei Xiao is also no stranger, it is the residence of the Blue Rose Knights.
Another city not far from the Blue Rose Knights is the residence of the Broken Blade Knights.
"It seems that my plan to win over the two is indeed correct. Once there is a conflict with the forces of the second prince, these two independent knights will undoubtedly become two sharp knives that penetrate the enemy's vitals."
Nodding thoughtfully, Lei Xiao raised his head again and asked, "What about the power of the fourth prince?"
"Returning to Lord Lord, the fourth prince is too elusive. Therefore, the subordinates have not figured out where his sphere of influence is."
Shaking his head helplessly, Auer immediately responded: "However, apart from the influence of the first prince and the second prince, the more important cities such as Songlin City, Luolong City, and Lan Lengbao belong to unknown forces, presumably they should be Distribute them in these cities."
"Understood. So, is it true that the fourth prince is the most mysterious?"
Hearing this, Lei Xiao rubbed his chin while revealing a contemplative expression.
