Chapter 523 550 Take Over Mercenary City

Calais is still in chaos, people die inexplicably every day, and there are changes between interest groups every day. It can be said that there is no chaos. Sometimes people even forget why this chaos started, and just want to make it It ends early, but it seems like it will never stop.

At this time, Shengxuan had already seen the Mercenary City from a distance, the city where he lived for a short time but could not separate the relationship after all.

The journey along the way can be said to be full of scenery. Omar divided 53 provinces, naturally some are happy and some are sad, but Shengxuan is an exception.The honorary elders of this temple, the first-class lords of the royal family, the winners of the Holy Light Medal and the Amethyst Lion Medal, no matter which honors are appalling, although the honorary elders and the titles of lords have no real power, they represent the two major forces. The favor, and the two medals are a concrete manifestation of honor.

With such a dazzling halo, he won the highest standard of courtesy no matter where he went, I am afraid that this treatment is only slightly lower than that of the king and the pope.Of course, there is a reason for this. It is precisely in this turmoil that everyone hopes to be able to climb up to this upstart Omar, the celebrity in the eyes of the two major forces, and hope that he can help with a few good words when it is convenient for them. And it got what it wanted.

For these courtesies, Shengxuan chose to accept them calmly. As for the good words, he didn't know what year it was. He didn't plan to see the king and pope again. If possible, he hoped never to see each other again.

As for how much benefit he got, it can only be said that he has no mood to calculate it. Now hundreds of thousands of orcs are all armored and armored. Wan Dajun ate for several years.

But what Shengxuan has to solve is not only the hundreds of thousands of mouths, but also the entire orc group in the swamp waiting to be fed.And so far this year, there hasn't been any rain, so I don't know how the life of the swamp orcs is.

The problem of food is enough to worry him, but he has a little bit of confidence in his heart after having two rounds of high income.But the other troublesome thing was that he couldn't figure out what happened after thinking all the way.Why is the Mercenary City in chaos?What's the mess?How many secrets are there?Do those mercenaries really dare to fight against a huge empire?

No one gave him an answer to these questions, and he could only rely on himself to see, listen, and think.But what is certain is that there must be a black hand behind this matter, the little fox Julio, who is a cunning guy who can squeeze oil out of his bones.That's why he didn't see each other when he came back.

The army was stationed outside the city, and Sheng Xuan only led his personal guards into the city slowly, being careful all the way to guard against sudden attacks.But until entering the city, he didn't see the expected scene of flesh and blood flying and corpses flying across the field. Instead, he looked deserted and tidy.Even the constant fights in the past disappeared, almost making him think that he came to the wrong place.

"What's going on here?" Sheng Xuan looked at this unfamiliar scene, which was so different from what he expected, and was at a loss for a moment.But he knew that if he wanted to know the truth, he could only go to Greina right now.

After seeing each other again after many days, there was naturally some concern. After talking about their situation with each other, Greina introduced the situation of Mercenary City in detail.

Since Omar abolished the principality and transformed it into a province, it has completely cut off the way of the noble private army.The mercenary regiments supported by some principalities in the past were abandoned one after another, which made them lose the source of income behind them. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to those mercenary regiments.

There are even rumors spreading, saying that the royal family believes that mercenaries are always a hidden danger to Omar. This time, a city lord has been sent here to completely ban the mercenaries and nationalize many resources in the Moon Dance Forest. Anyone who dares to resist I'm afraid they will only end up being wiped out.

This is tantamount to cutting off the mercenary group's last source of income, which caused some troubles, but it was far less serious than the rumors.The principality era has also become history, and there will be no major wars in a short period of time. After the royal family implements the provincial system, it will be safer for merchants everywhere. The future of mercenaries is bleak. , then simply disbanded the matter.

However, several large mercenary regiments wanted to take advantage of the chaos to make a difference. They jointly issued a notice to establish a free city-state based on the mercenary city, which meant that they planned to break away from Omar's rule.

As soon as the news came out, the royal family paid a lot of attention, and there was indeed conclusive news that the royal family had appointed a city lord, which immediately caused the mercenary alliance to boil, and some idle mercenaries also booed, and there was a big battle mean.

But later they heard that it was you, and some people knew about your past, so they became afraid. After all, the orcs are famous for their fighting power. How could a few mercenary regiments be able to resist a fight?
As your footsteps approached, more and more mercenary regiments announced their disbandment, and those mercenaries began to find their own way out. From my point of view, the era of mercenaries is over. If you want to continue to survive, you have to rely on Calais Or venture into the Moondance Forest to do some menial work of collecting magic crystals and materials.

There are countless resources that Omar relies on in the Moon Dance Forest outside the mercenary city. If these resources are lost, it will definitely be a heavy blow to Omar. It is also reasonable to say that Omar wants to take back those mines and forests, but this is quite different from the real situation.

"There must be someone behind this. It is true that I was appointed as the city lord, but I have never heard of the fact that I will forcibly occupy the resources of the Moondance Forest. Instead, the royal family promised me that the mercenary city has autonomy. Resources are sold to Omar at reasonable prices."

"How could this be?" Hearing Shengxuan's words, Greina couldn't help but be surprised. This was completely different from what she had heard before, and it could be said that the gap between black and white was reversed.

"That's the fact. I have a city lord's decree signed by Nicholas himself. Could it be fake? The reason why the royal family has such an attitude towards the mercenary city is to unite the orcs. After all, the harsh environment and high-strength Only the orcs can endure the mining activities,

What's more, there are still a large number of orc slaves there. If Omar really wants to take it back, they don't know how to treat the mercenary group. .

What's more, they don't know how to treat those orc slaves. Once they are freed, they will return to the swamp after all, continue to enslave them but offend the orcs, so they simply pushed the matter to me, which solved the problem It's a good plan for them to win the relationship again. "

Hearing Shengxuan's full of complaints, Grena couldn't help but give a reproachful smile: "You, don't get cheap and act like a good boy."

"How could it be cheap? Now the mercenary group is disbanded on the surface, but those mercenaries are used to living a life of licking blood. Do you let them retire to the countryside to cultivate the fields?
I'm afraid that sooner or later they won't be able to bear the loneliness, and it's unknown if they will do something desperate. Omar has already completed the reform of power, and I don't think those mercenaries are so stupid as to enter the country to make trouble. There is wind and rain in the Mercenary City.With such a big sword hanging over my head, how do you want me to take advantage of it? "

Greina couldn't help giggling after hearing this: "I didn't expect that our city lords would become less and less courageous after this time of being a king. Don't worry, even if they really have the heart to take risks, they will never dare to come here. The mercenaries are messing around in the city."

"Oh?" Sheng Xuan was about to ask why, but suddenly remembered a few people, a few old people who seemed harmless to humans and animals.The reason why nothing radical happened in Mercenary City was probably because of their deterrent effect. "So what should I do now according to my sister's wishes?"

Grena couldn't help but smile when she heard this: "Mercenaries naturally have their own rules. Instead of letting me tell you, you might as well go to the mercenary union and take a look. There is an answer."

"Okay, I'll go take a look without further ado." Speaking of which, Shengxuan got up and walked out quickly, and Grena naturally followed.

The mercenary union has long since ceased to be as noisy as it used to be. There were only three or two idle mercenaries chatting in the hall. When they saw Sheng Xuan and the others coming in, they couldn't help casting curious glances. Someone recognized Sheng Xuan's identity, and those few mercenaries seemed to see him. He ran away like a plague god.

Shengxuan wanted to stop them from asking what happened, but Grena secretly grabbed his sleeve, and then saw Qianqianyu pointing forward, and then saw that under the large counter, old Minuo was playing chess with him bored.

Sheng Xuan leaned forward with a smile on his face, but the opponent ignored him at all. After watching for a long time, Sheng Xuan, who knew nothing about Omar Chess, had no choice but to sabotage the situation and take a random step with a chess piece, not wanting old Mai Nuo's eyes to shine .

"It turned out to be the leader of the Fallen Leaf, oh no, it should be called the Lord of the City now. I didn't expect that the Lord of the City also has a deep understanding of chess skills. Why don't you play a game with the old man?"

"I don't know any chess skills, I just took a random step because you ignored me." "Oh, that's more luck. No wonder the city lord has achieved his prominent position in just a few years of hard work."

Shengxuan knew that he intended to tease him, so he simply messed up his chess pieces: "I have something to ask you, can I borrow a step to talk to you?"

"Look at this place, is there any place cleaner than this? If you have something to do, just order it." There was a lot of resentment in the words, and Sheng Xuan simply showed the aura of the city lord when he heard it impatiently: "In that case, then we Just do business, don't talk about the slightest sympathy."

"Okay, originally I wanted to talk to the city lord about some old friendships, but it's a pity that people can't get up to you with a little talk." "Hehe, okay, since I said that, I really want to talk to you." Sheng Seeing that old Mai Nuo was completely acting like a hob, Xuan couldn't help being slightly angry.

"Who encouraged me to sign that damn agreement when I first registered with the mercenary group? In the end, we couldn't resist going to the dark canyon to fight to the death? We carried out the task of escorting taxes, and who made it happen? Who was it in the end? Did you leak the news?"

"My lord, if you have a large number of adults, let me let the old man go. You must know that the mercenary city is not as good as it used to be. What are you talking about?"

"Why can't you say it? Isn't it all about our friendship?" "Hey," old Mai Nuo laughed and tried to get away with it, so he changed the topic: "I don't know what will the city lord bring to deal with us this time. These poor mercenaries?"

"To deal with you? Now I'm afraid you are trying to find a way to deal with me, the city lord."

Hearing something in the words, old Mai Nuo couldn't help asking: "Oh? How do you say this?" "If you don't know how to say it, then I will tell you."

So Shengxuan told the truth about what he had heard, and then took out the city lord's decree issued by the royal family. Although Nicholas's dictated interests would not be described in detail, the rights and responsibilities of the city lord were clear.

Old Mai Nuo couldn't help but twitch the corner of his eyes after watching the city owner: "What did you do to make the royal family trust you so much? If I had known that Lao,,,,,, Shi would also enter King Jingqin with you, maybe I could make a fortune too." official."

"Don't you have an official position now? What are you doing with it?" Sheng Xuan said jokingly.

Old Mai Nuo rolled his eyes and rolled his eyes at him: "How can I have any official job? I'm just an old man who sweeps the floor and does odd jobs."

"President of the mercenary union, isn't that good enough for you?" "Is this considered good? Compared with you, it's not even a scumbag. Besides, the mercenary city is already like this. Is there a need for this union to exist?" ?”

After talking about these things, old Mai Nuo suddenly felt wrong. He was just a deacon at the front desk of the union. When did he become the president?When he wanted to ask, Shengxuan had already started a new topic.

"Did I say that the mercenary group will be disbanded? Those people are used to the life of mercenaries, what else can they do if they don't become mercenaries? Do you really expect them to pick up hoes with hands accustomed to swords? I believe that as long as the lord of the city makes an announcement, If you, a good old man, come forward to appease, all the mercenary groups will come back soon. At that time, those little mercenary groups will let you pinch and beat them round?"

"Hey, in your eyes, although I, the little deacon of the mercenary union, seems to have a lot of money, I'm not actually a role that is splinted? It goes without saying that the above few, but now they don't see the situation well. Fuck off.

And I don’t dare to provoke those well-established mercenary groups that I face on weekdays. Those who have no background are more fierce than the other. There is also the tiger in the royal family peeping, what kind of life do you think I am living?I really want to go back to the countryside to get a piece of land, and grow some radishes and cabbages for the elderly. "

"Are you going to farm? Since it's your wish, I can't force it, so I have to hand over the position of president of the mercenary union to someone else. It just so happens that some of my subordinates have nowhere to go."

Old Mai Nuo became anxious when he heard it. He finally understood what Shengxuan meant, that he wanted to give himself the position of general manager. A display of great forces balancing interests,

Can't help hastily said: "Don't, our relationship, who else can you use if you don't use me? Besides, who can understand the mercenary city better than me?" "But you are tired of facing the life of mercenaries, I can't force it Let you suffer, although I can't bear it in my heart, I can only watch you go and have a good time."

Seeing the intrigue between the two of them, Grena couldn't help laughing coquettishly: "Hehe, well, Shengxuan, stop playing tricks on Old Mai Nuo, maybe you don't know that he has a nickname called Mercenary City know-it-all,

There is nothing big or small in the mercenary city that he doesn't know about for thousands of years, and he has accumulated a lot of connections. All mercenary groups, big and small, have to give him some face. I'm afraid you really want to stabilize the mercenary city. Can't live without him. "

"Hehe, well, since my sister has already spoken, I will make it difficult for you old man, but I don't know if you can still sit in the chair of the mercenary union president?" "Sit well!" Old Mai Nuo As soon as I finished speaking, I felt a little regretful, and said to myself: "Why are you so restless? Let this brat get caught in it with a few words. I didn't think he was so thoughtful before. Could it be... It must be true to learn from those politicians."
