After Cheating, I Became the Strongest Beast Master

Chapter 297 Water Heart Flame Mine

Gu Yuzhi said: "If I remember correctly, when I was in the city guard army, Yinhong's beast control ability was the highest. I remember that there was a fourth level of transcendence.

 The second one is Shi Yao. When you retired from the army, you were about to break through to the third level of transcendence in your ability to control beasts. "

Shi Yao clasped his hands and said, "Sir, my beast master has broken through to the fourth level of transcendence."

Gu Yuzhi then looked at the remaining four people, "Du Yu, you are the most senior here. Your main force to control the beasts died in a war, so you withdrew from the city guard. How is the main force that you have retrained now?"

Du Yu didn't expect that the Lord of the City would still remember him. It had been nearly sixty years since he quit the City Guards. This time he fought again in order to provide some benefits to future generations. His gray-haired man had tears in his eyes and choked with sobs. He said: "Reporting to my lord, my newly trained beast master has transcended the fourth level of heaven."

Gu Yuzhi nodded gently, "Not bad, I'm looking forward to your performance."

 Others around looked at Du Yu in surprise. This old guy's beast control was actually able to be retrained to the fourth level of transcendence. It seemed that he had another adventure after quitting the city guard.

 Next, Gu Yuzhi mentioned the remaining three people, Gu Wu, Shi Chen, and Shi Luoshan, one by one.

These three main beast masters are all transcending the realm of the second heaven.

"Then follow the old rules and divide the income according to battlefield contribution. If it is an opponent you kill yourself, 90% of his benefits belong to you. However, the distribution of collective combat contribution will be based on Mr. Chen's opinion. You are all old men in the army. "I don't think I need to explain any more rules." Gu Yuzhi reminded the six people.

 The six of them understood that City Lord Gu was using this method to remind them in a subtle way that they should abide by the rules after joining the mercenary group, and Chen Xing had the right to allocate contributions to the collective battle.

 So the six people knew that if they wanted to obtain more benefits, they naturally had to establish a good relationship with Chen Xing.

 “I understand,” the six of them said in unison.

Gu Yuzhi turned to Chen Xing and said: "Then I will leave these good men to you. If there are any who do not follow the rules, you can tell me."

Chen Xing clasped his hands and said, "Thank you, Lord City Lord."

 After signing the contract, Chen Xing led everyone back to the station.

 Six super-level beast masters, plus 547 high-level beast masters.

Even if this force is placed in Stone City alone, it is not a weak force. Some weak families cannot gather six super-level beast masters alone, let alone more than 500 high-level beast masters. .

According to Jin Yewei's intelligence, it would be difficult for an average large mercenary group to gather six super-level beast masters.

 Because a super-level beast master requires a lot of resources, which Chen Xing fully understood after becoming a super-level one.

 For super-level beast masters, there is no such thing as "enough" resources.

If you don't have enough resources, how can you allow more super-level beast masters to share resources with you, unless there are very few special circumstances, such as a certain mercenary group occupying a huge resource point, but this kind of force will not be single. Instead of developing a mercenary group structure, more complex industries will develop. This kind of force is no longer considered a mercenary group.

 Armed personnel who complete various tasks for money, participate in armed conflicts for profit, and occasionally work part-time as robbers and bandits are the mercenary groups in the eyes of foreigners.

Returning to the mercenary group station, Zhao Guangming asked Chen Xing, "We are all here. These are retired soldiers from the city guard. Their fighting qualities should be much better than ordinary beast masters. They can go directly to the battlefield with a little training. Next What should we do next?”

 “Let me think about it.” Chen Xing took out his tablet and opened the internal map tool.

Zhao Guangming came around and looked at the finely drawn map depicted on the tablet. It not only showed the mountains and rivers in the northwest region, but also the precise coordinates of various cities and large resource points that had been detected, and the gathering places of dangerous monster groups.

At the same time, there is a filter icon in the upper right corner, which can selectively filter which information to block.

This map tool is an internal software and can only be opened by high-level officials within Daxia who have granted permission.

Moreover, the level of detail of the map information that can be viewed is also different depending on the permissions.

As the executive officer of Xinhuo Black Robe, Chen Xing naturally has extremely high authority and can view basically all map information.

 Chen Xing first chose to hide the resource point in the upper right corner.

 Suddenly, a lot of content was missing from the tablet.

Chen Xing said: "Call the other six people over. After all, they are locals in Stone City. Let's see what they have to say."

Gong Yinhong and the other six were called in, and Chen Xing briefly explained the current situation.

Du Yu thought for a while, and then said: "Sir, I don't know what your purpose is?"

“Since you have been hired, and you are also brought by the city lord, I naturally trust you. In order to work together, I will tell you the core mission of our mercenary group—to destroy the City of Nine Reds.”

 Six people stayed at the same time,

"ah?"

"I?"

 “Is it just us?”

"Mr. Chen, is it because your pronunciation is not standard? Could it be the city of wine pools?"

“There seems to be no place called the City of Wine Ponds nearby.”

"Of course we don't just rely on us." Chen Xing said, "Don't you know the recent situation in Jiuchi City?"

“I know, last month Jiuchi City wanted to seize one of the largest mineral veins in our Stone City.

I heard that the city lord also killed several of their beast masters, and then there were several battles between the city guards. "

“Those people in Jiuchi City are really disgusting. Over the past few years, they have been trying every possible way to seize the resources of our Stone City, both covertly and openly.”

“I have heard that there are several mercenary groups dealing with the City of Nine Reds, and there seems to be mysterious forces behind those mercenary groups.”

 “Could it be the Lord of the City?”

A few people looked at each other and seemed to have guessed the answer.

 In recent years, there have been deep conflicts between Stone City and Jiuchi City. What's more important is that there is a Burning Sky Giant City behind Jiuchi City.

It is difficult to deal with the Nine Red City simply by relying on the power of Stone City, so the Lord of the City united with Daxia.

Thinking of this, the six super-level beast masters felt that they might have guessed the truth.

 After they came in, they felt that there were many masters among the dozens of Daxia beast masters who originally lived here.

 Now it seems that it is the force sent by Daxia.

"This is the best result, but it should be no problem for you to grab some resource points and hunt down the super-level beast masters in Jiuchi City." Chen Xing looked at the six people.

"That's no problem." Du Yu nodded, "This is not the first time I have killed the beast master of Jiuchi City."

Shi Yao thought for a while and said, "Okay."

Gong Yinhong reminded: "It is best to check the intelligence before taking action, especially the strength of the beast masters stationed at the target resource point."

Gu Wu said: "Then leave it to me. Detecting information is my old skill, but it's too slow for me to find out information alone. Many of the mercenary regiments used to be scouts. I saw several familiar faces. Chen Sir, I want some mercenaries to accompany me to gather information."

"No problem, I will ask Ning Yi to accompany you to select people later. After the selection is completed, register them. The selected people will serve as full-time scouts."

“You can take a look at the map first. Our target is this area.”

Chen Xing zoomed out the map and pointed at the western area of ​​the Lake of Fire, two thousand miles northeast of Stone City.

 Several of the six people actually noticed the tablet on the table when they came in.

It's just that I didn't take a closer look when I was communicating with Chen Xing just now. Now I'm a little scared when I take a closer look.

“The map above is so detailed.” Gu Wu was very surprised.

He compared it with his memory and found that the map was more detailed than the map in the city guard camp. And it can be zoomed in and out. The picture above is extremely clear.

“I have long heard that Daxia’s machine-created objects are extraordinary, and now it seems that they are indeed so.” Shi Yao praised.

Gong Yinhong said: "The northwest area of ​​Qianhu District, there are more resource points in this area, I think it is okay."

 Stone City is located two hundred miles southwest of the Lake of Fire, and Jiuchi City is located eight hundred miles northwest of the Lake of Fire. There is a large lake of fire between them.

 The eastern part of the lake of fire is a huge lake of fire nearly 800 miles in diameter.

 The central and western regions are made up of many scattered small lakes, so this area is also called the Thousand Lakes District.

 The more special the geographical environment, the easier it is for resource points to be born.

 The quality of monsters living in the eastern large lake is higher, and the water level is quite deep, so many resource points are inconvenient to mine.

  Comparatively speaking, the fire lakes in the central and western regions are much smaller in both depth and area. Deep water supports big dragons, while shallow water supports bastards. Therefore, the resource points in the central and western regions have become a place for more forces to compete because they are convenient for exploitation.

These resource points were previously occupied by Jiuchi City. Beast masters from Stone City would be killed or captured as coolies to mine resources if they came near.

However, as Stone City has grown in recent years, it must have more resources. Therefore, the conflict between the two cities in the past few hundred years has mainly been a war that broke out around the competition for resource points in the Two Thousand Miles of Fire Lake.

 This is history on the surface. After knowing Gu Yuzhi's identity, Chen Xing knew that the conflict between the two cities was inevitable.

 The six people then briefly discussed the details, and finally decided to collect the information first before taking action.

 Wait until the six people left.

Chen Xing said: "Brother Zhao, there are six super beast masters in the mercenary group, plus the beast masters we brought, we have a total of 19 super beast masters."

Zhao Guangming nodded, "You and I, as well as Ning Yi Zhou San, and Ning Yi Zhou San's family each sent 4 super-level beast masters to accompany us, as well as Uncle Qin, totaling 19 people.

This is only the number of transcendent beast masters. Some people have more than one transcendent beast master. It is normal for the number of transcendent beast masters to double. "

Chen Xing murmured, "I just don't know how much effort the super beast master from Ning Yi's Zhou San family will put in."

Zhao Guangming consoled him: "Since the families behind Ning Yi and Zhou San have all invested in our salary, they will definitely not do stupid things that do not work hard, and they may work harder than the beast masters of the mercenary group. Otherwise, if both parties are unhappy, their bet will be in vain.”

Hearing what Zhao Guangming said, Chen Xing felt that it made sense.

 At the same time, Stone City was within a valley three hundred miles away.

 A group of beast masters are stationed here.

 In the core camp, a secret negotiation is going on.

“I heard that the people from Xinghuo have arrived. Do you want to contact them to coordinate the operation?”

"It's just a group of child soldiers. What's there to connect with? I heard it's an organization composed of young people who have just graduated and those who haven't graduated yet. Don't you want them to get a share of the pie?"

“This should be the purpose of sending them here from home.”

"Heh, it's better not to cause trouble for the child soldiers. They can just pick up some soup and drink it from the outside. This way they can still ensure safety."

“Send them a piece of information and give them the areas where the masters of Jiuchi City are stationed in the nearby areas.”

 “Old Han, do you want them to participate?”

“Heh, I heard that the leader of Xinhuo this time has something to do with their old Han family.”

The man known as Lao Han said calmly, "That boy is my niece's student, but I have never seen him.

I didn’t want him to participate in the operation. I gave him the intelligence map to prevent them from accidentally stepping into the pit. "

Someone next to him said in a loud voice: "I agree with Lao Han. We are all working hard for a common goal. Fair competition is fine, but don't let competition ruin your original intention!"

After Gu Wu screened forty scouts, he took a group of scouts to explore the information. Before leaving, Chen Xing told Gu Wu the locations of several resource points that he focused on.

Gu Wu didn’t ask too many questions. He took note of the location of the resource point and set off.

 That night, a mercenary who claimed to be from the Heart of Resistance brought a piece of information to Chen Xing.

 The information records in detail the number and strength of the beast masters stationed in various resource points in the Fire Lake, as well as in the remaining resource areas of Jiuchi City.

Although the intelligence is not very specific about the number of enemies stationed in many areas, there is only a rough number, and there are only intelligence estimates for the strength of the strong ones.

 But this information is very important to Chen Xing.

 War is all about intelligence. Chen Xing understood this when he played games before.

Full-map fog of war and full-map field of view unlocking are two different levels of difficulty.

This information saved him a lot of energy.

 It just came a little late. If the information had arrived one day earlier, Chen Xing would not have sent Gu Wu out.

 Six days later, Gu Wu returned with information.

 Chen Xing convened the top management of the mercenary group to discuss and finally determined the target—the Shuixinyan Mine north of Zhonghu No. 174 in the northern part of Qianhu District.

 According to intelligence, this Shuixinyan Mine is a large-scale rich mine.

The forces stationed here belong to the Chi family, the overlord of Jiuchi City. There are more than 600 beast masters, and the number of super beast masters is no less than 8.

At the same time, it is known that the owner of the Shuixinyan Mine is the seventh elder of the Chi family, Chi Xie. He is a master who has been famous for hundreds of years. His main beast control is at least the sixth level of transcendence.

“It seems that as a geological expert, I discovered a rare and large-scale precious mineral vein.” Chen Xing said with a smile at the meeting.

 Compared to Chen Xing's satisfaction, the others were not in such a good mood.

"Mr. Chen, Red Scorpion's main beast master has already transcended the sixth level thirty years ago, and it is said that his main beast master is water and fire, and his strength is not affected in the fire lake realm." Shi Yao's face suddenly changed.

What is the concept of transcending the sixth level? Even Red Scorpion alone can probably defeat a group of them directly.

“It’s okay, leave Red Scorpion to me and leave the rest to you.” Chen Xing waved his hand.

Hearing this, the six people were surprised. This was an opponent who transcended the sixth level.

But looking at Chen Xing's confident expression, the six of them were doubtful, mainly because Chen Xing looked too young, but if he could really deal with it, the six of them couldn't help but have a hint of awe on their faces.

 After determining the target, Chen Xing set off with a large force.

 But it was only when he actually managed more than 500 people that Chen Xing realized what a terrifying talent Han Xin’s “the more the better” was.

 Let alone Han Xin, the more the merrier, Chen Xing felt that just having to manage these more than 500 people would give him a headache.

The food, clothing, housing and transportation of more than 500 people, including how to move and command, and in addition to more than 500 people, each person also has several beasts to control, which adds up to thousands of beasts to control!

Thousands of beasts have to be managed, eating, drinking, and urinating. How to arrange their patrols, camps, and battlefield layout distribution in the wild?

Originally, he wanted Zhao Guangming to help, but Zhao Guangming was not willing to accept such hard work, so he quickly declined, saying that he was not capable.

Zhao Guangming immediately said to Chen Xing seriously: "You are the commander-in-chief of this operation. There are only a few people, more than 500 people. It is up to you to practice. You don't have to be proficient, but you can't understand it completely. "

Practice is the best teacher. Fortunately, these more than 500 people are not newbies on the battlefield. They stumbled at the beginning, but gradually became more proficient. After a few days, Chen Xing gradually became more proficient in managing the mercenary group. The speed of travel gradually increased.
