Chapter 1368 The Secret Guard
Odie and others were dumbfounded, [-] gold coins per month?Although he got hundreds of thousands of gold coins, it was only occasionally. If he had a monthly fixed income of tens of thousands of gold coins, he would be very rich!Since this city lord is so rich, why hasn't he heard of this power?
Odie asked suspiciously: "According to what you said, the coastal towns in the southeast peninsula are so rich, why don't they have a good reputation? Those big forces that can represent the southeast peninsula are all in the central area of ​​the southeast peninsula Yes."

Nangong Dun smiled wryly and said: "My lord, the southeast peninsula has countless fertile fields, and due to the suitable climate and sufficient water, the food production is very huge. In addition to food, the southeast peninsula also has gold mines, silver mines and a huge amount of food. Copper mines and various precious trees.

"And these truly valuable production areas are all over the central area of ​​the southeast peninsula. Compared with the central area, the coastal area is simply poor!"

Saying that, Nangong Atsu shook his head with a sigh, while Moder showed a vague look of contempt.

The expressions of the two of them deeply stimulated everyone present. They thought they were a gang of beggars in the southeast peninsula, but they were unexpectedly wealthy!

Odie couldn't help jumping up: "No way? Gold mines, silver mines, and huge copper mines! If the southeastern peninsula is really so rich, why didn't the Empire and the Freedom Alliance occupy it? Why did all the news we know How impoverished and chaotic is the Southeast Peninsula?"

Nan Gongdun shook his head and said: "We don't know this very well, but poverty refers to the lower class people in the southeast peninsula. It is impossible for the upper class to be poor. But the chaos is real, even the city lords under the same banner will fight each other , but they will not send troops themselves, but buy mercenaries to fight."

"Mercenaries?" Zhao Hu asked aloud, he was curious about this kind of troops that would do anything for money.

"Yes, there are many mercenaries on the southeast peninsula. In addition to having a large number of troops, the city lords on the southeast peninsula can also temporarily recruit a large number of mercenaries. Therefore, the battle on our southeast peninsula is not what outsiders imagined. Thousands of people fighting is a big battle.

"As for why the mercenaries are on the southeast peninsula? It can be said that the chaotic places in the entire continent are places where mercenaries are active. You must know that the more chaotic the place, the more money can be made." Nan Gongdun said.

Zhao Hu frowned and said, "Since a city lord can hire a huge number of mercenaries at any time in addition to a large number of standing troops, then how can you be sure that I can help your family regain its glory?"

"Just because you are a major, you have two thousand cavalry! You must know that war horses are controlled commodities, because both the Empire and the Liberty Alliance lack war horses, and at the same time, the southeast peninsula does not produce war horses, so it is a great power to have a thousand cavalry on the southeast peninsula. It is." Nangong Dun said seriously.

Zhao Hu smiled and wanted to say something, but Odie said first: "If my lord sends soldiers there just because you can help my lord build a bridgehead, it's not worth the loss. After all, you just said a city lord You have a lot of troops."

"My lord, although the army of the city lord is very strong, most of them are half-farmers and half-soldiers, and because soldiers have no freedom, ordinary soldiers absolutely have no determination to fight to the end. Only professional warriors can really pose a threat to you. The samurai need territory to support, there will never be many, so as long as..."

When Nangong Dun said this, he found that Ou Di and Zhao Hu didn't take it seriously, knowing that he had to impose conditions on his own, he hesitated for a moment, and said with a desperate look: "My Nangong family is willing to provide secret guards for the Lord!"

"Secret Guard?"

Zhao Hu and the others were stunned, what is this?But seeing Maude jumping up with a shocked face, opening his mouth, and pointing at Nan Gongdun speechless, one can guess that this should be a very precious thing.

"Secret guards! There are secret guards in your house?" Maud finally shouted out the words lingering in his throat.

"The first Patriarch of my family was born as a secret guard." Nangong Dun said lightly.

"What is a Secret Guard?" Zhao Hu asked.

Moder said first: "My lord, secret guards are the kind of invisible guards who appear and disappear without killing people. I heard that they all have magical abilities, they can suddenly disappear without a trace, and they can easily sneak into places no matter how tightly guarded they are." .In the southeast peninsula, secret guards are the most mysterious unit, and few forces have secret guards!"

After hearing what Mode said, everyone couldn't believe it, because according to what Mode said, this secret guard is simply omnipotent and omnipotent.

So everyone's eyes, of course, focused on Nangong Dun, a guy who was more familiar with secret guards. Nangong Dun blushed, a little embarrassed.

"The subordinates don't know if the secret guards of other families are so powerful, but the secret guards of the Nangong family are not that exaggerated. They just have undergone strict training and can hide themselves with the help of the environment. At the same time, their combat effectiveness is much stronger than ordinary soldiers, and more importantly What's more, they are very good at lurking, spying and assassinating."

Before Zhao Hu had time to react, Oudi couldn't wait to ask: "How many secret guards can your Nangong family provide for my lord?"

"Why do you always say that your lord is still my lord?" Although Nan Gongdun was a little dissatisfied with Odie's words, he also knew that Odie was his lord's confidant, and he definitely couldn't offend him now. , so to be honest.

"The Nangong family has only trained five secret guards over the years, and these five secret guards can all be handed over to the Lord."

Speaking of this, Nangong Dun felt a little heartbroken. You must know that your family has spent so much wealth and energy to train so few secret guards. You can see how precious it is if you don't even bring the secret guards with you as the Patriarch. up.

"Five secret guards? What's the use of so few people?" Odie said with a look of disdain.

Seeing Odie's appearance, Nangong Dun hurriedly said: "My lord, don't underestimate these five secret guards, they were cultivated by the Nangong family after years of frugality.

"These five secret guards are fully capable of monitoring the movement of tens of thousands of troops. It can be said that with the secret guards, you can know the opponent's combat plan and the number of troops in advance. At the same time, if the opponent's defense is not tight, it is not a good idea to let the opponent's general die before the battle. Difficult."

"Hmph, the secret guard is as powerful as you said. If you brought the secret guard out, the result of this battle would have been reversed. Why didn't you bring the secret guard out?" Odie still had a look of disbelief.

"My lord, the value of the secret guard is more important than my patriarch. After all, my patriarch died in battle, and another patriarch can be erected at any time. However, the loss of one secret guard will seriously hurt the vitality of the Nangong family. To express the surrender of the Nangong family to the lord, the subordinates would never dare to propose to hand over the five secret guards to the lord." Nangong Dun said with a wry smile.

"Hehe, it turns out that your patriarch is not the only one who has the final say in the Nangong family? In this case, can you guarantee the decision you made, and can the Nangong family support it?" Odie laughed.

"There is no problem with this, because the family has already regarded the secret guards as bargaining chips, so as long as the family confirms the ability of the lord, then these five secret guards will become the lord's servants.

"And if the lord is recognized by the family, as long as the lord is willing to support enough manpower, material and financial resources, then the Nangong family, who has mastered the training method of secret guards, is absolutely willing to train more private secret guards for the lord." Nangong Dun said confidently.

"Hey, that is to say, the benefits you mentioned can't be realized for the time being. You have to wait for your family to confirm it, right?" Odie sneered.

Nangong Dun was stunned for a moment, and nodded in embarrassment. When Odie was about to say something, a black shadow rushed in from the door, and when he took a closer look, a giant black-haired wolf the size of a pony was coming. Shaking his head and tail, he rubbed against Zhao Hu's thigh.

Both Nangong Dun and Mode looked at the big black wolf in surprise. They never imagined that Zhao Hu could keep such a pet.

"Hey, Hei Lang, I singled out dozens of enemies just now. Do you regret not having time to participate in the battle?" Zhou Wen, who had always been at odds with Hei Lang, provoked Hei Lang with a smile.

Hei Lang didn't take this sissy seriously at all. He glanced at Zhou Wen with disdain, and then growled at Zhao Hu in a low voice.

Zhao Hu frowned: "There is a convoy fifty kilometers away? There are only more than 100 guards?"

Zhou Wen and the others didn't respond, but Nangong Dun and Mode were taken aback. Could it be that this new lord who has taken refuge can understand wolf language?
Odie interrupted and said, "My lord, it should be the team of the provincial governor and the division chief, but they are too impatient, right? I came back with the front foot, and they came with the back foot?"

"Hee hee, uncle, this is a major matter related to gold coins, so of course I'm impatient." Zhou Wen laughed.

Ou Di nodded and asked Zhao Hu: "My lord, shall we send someone to greet him?"

Just when Zhao Hu was about to agree, Moder suddenly remembered something, and shouted in a panic: "My lord, our group is actually the vanguard of the rogues, and the Lord Mingyue issued an order to reward your weapons, so it won't be long before the next batch of rogues will get here!"

"How many people are there in the next batch?" Zhao Hu and the others were a little nervous.

I didn't expect that the 2000 rogues were actually the vanguard. If the next wave of rogues exceeds [-], I'm afraid the population of the southeast peninsula will have to be re-estimated. It is impossible for so many rogues to appear in a sparsely populated place.

"I'm not sure. It depends on how many rogues came after hearing the news, but there must be more than 2000 people." Nan Gongdun said.
