The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

Chapter 540: Help in times of need and icing on the cake

There are far more than 23 mercenary groups in Conaston, but only these 23 companies have accepted the bounty mission.

Xu Lai didn't have the time or energy to check all the information on the mercenary guild one by one.

Even if he doesn't check it himself, he doesn't have the manpower.

Moreover, Mohan has leaked the secrets of the mercenary guild and has offended almost all the mercenaries. It is conceivable that the mercenary guild in Conaston will inevitably decline.

This decline may even spread to other cities.

Therefore, it was even more unnecessary for Mo Han to completely offend Xu Lai for the sake of an irreversible situation.

It doesn't matter if he hides one or two mercenary groups. Unless he can guarantee that this secret will not be leaked for the rest of his life, the day he is discovered will definitely be his death.

The most troublesome thing is that after doing this, he doesn't even dare to leave Conaston now.

Because he knew that once he went to other cities, the mercenary groups he betrayed would not let him go.

As for the Mercenary Association, if they don't take the initiative to retaliate, they have done their best, and providing shelter is a no-brainer.

Since he couldn't even escape, how could Mohan dare to offend the only escape route he had now.

This is also an important reason why Mohan has become more stubborn in the past two days.

Before Xu Lai settled in Conaston, Mohan had always had a good relationship with Aini. Even after Xu Lai settled in, Mohan became more optimistic about Aini.

Mohan and most of the powerful people in Conaston preferred to see Aini reoccupy Conaston, and believed that Aini had a better chance of final victory than Xu Lai.

Otherwise, without Mohan's acquiescence, who among the leadership and staff of the Mercenary Guild would have the courage to continue such a fatal task?

Of course, after this incident, Mohan did not dare to continue to please both sides.

If Aini knew that Mohan had sent away all the mercenary groups that supported him, the other party would never spare him.

Therefore, Mo Han has probably transitioned into Xu Lai's camp now.

As for whether it is reliable, Xu Lai still needs to continue to observe.

But with the help of Mohan, the mercenary leader, Xu Lai felt much more relaxed.

At the very least, he had professional people who could help him handle the information on the underground mercenaries, Dark Alliance killers, and Thieves Guild members.

When the official clearing operation begins the day after tomorrow, it should not be a problem for Mohan and his mercenary guild to even contribute some of their troops to help deal with some characters like Little Kalami.

The other mercenary groups have already completed all the procedures in the past two days.

Other mercenary groups whose headquarters are not in Conaston have some troubles and need to communicate with the headquarters.

But the seven mercenary groups whose headquarters are in Conaston have not made any move until now.

The backgrounds of these mercenary groups are all relatively complex. Most of them are retired from the military, and the vast majority of those in leadership positions are former military officers.

These people are undoubtedly Aini's supporters.

It is not easy to establish a mercenary group in Conaston.

In addition to meeting the standards of the mercenary guild, having a large enough scale and a certain number of masters, they also need to have a stable base to form a group.

Obviously, only Aini is qualified to provide such a residence.

Even if the members of the mercenary group paid for the purchase with their own money, they still need Aini's permission.

Aini also took the opportunity to arrange a better position for his cronies and confidants in the army, and let the mercenary group take care of him in his old age.

The leaders of the mercenary group also wanted to use Aini's power. The two sides hit it off immediately, and one was willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer.

However, once the city changes its owner, the land, buildings, and a series of other privileges promised by Aini may not count.

"Jimmy, when will your troops arrive?"

Xu Lai set the date of settlement in three days because Jimmy's troops should be able to arrive in these two days.

Although there are some prisoners mixed in, the officers are all our own, and the entire unit can be used stably.

With the participation of more than 7,000 people, Conaston's strength, including his own, was more than 10,000. It would not be a big problem to clear out a few mercenary regiments.

Jimmy said slightly embarrassed: "There was a little situation on the way. Some prisoners wanted to defect, which caused a little chaos and delayed a little time."

Xu Lai waved his hand and said, "I don't want to know the process. Just tell me when your people will arrive and whether I can count on them the day after tomorrow."

Jimmy stood up in a hurry and promised: "They will definitely arrive tomorrow, please don't worry."

Xu Lai nodded and then said: "Then, President Mohan, it's time for you to clean up the family.

I don't need you to participate in a frontal battle, but I'm worried that the actions the day after tomorrow will affect ordinary people, so people from the security team cannot be dispatched.

I hope you and your people can help maintain order, and the most important thing is to prevent the leaders of the mercenary group from escaping.

For ordinary mercenaries, if they run away, they will run away, so there is no need to worry.

But these leaders of the mercenary group, especially the leaders of the mercenary group who are closely related to Aini, I hope that they can appear in front of me one by one. "

Speaking of this, Xu glanced at Mohan and said, "I think you probably know better than me which mercenary group leader has a better relationship with Aini."

Mohan swallowed, knowing that Xu Lai was trying to cut off his retreat and let him completely break with Aini.

He himself also knew that people on both sides of the head and the rat tend to end badly, so he stood up decisively and replied:

"Don't worry, leave this matter to me. I will keep a close eye on those people and never give them a chance to escape."

Speaking of this, Mohan hesitated for a moment, and finally asked: "Your Excellency Xu Lai, why don't we attack directly tonight.

Give them three full days to prepare, there are too many variables.

Normally at night, there won't be too many people at the mercenary group's station. Even if Viscount Jimmy's men haven't arrived yet, we can organize some elite forces to conduct a raid and clear out these leaders.

As long as the leader is killed, ordinary mercenaries will become useless. Once your soldiers arrive, they will have no choice but to surrender and be imprisoned, waiting for processing. "

After Xu Lai thought about it, he shook his head and said: "No, I am an upright teacher and can defeat my opponent in an upright manner.

I just want all the opposition forces in Conaston to watch. Even if I give them three days to prepare, they can't come up with any tricks.

After this battle, Conaston will surely be able to completely settle down, and there will no longer be people who are erratic and turbulent. "

Mo Han looked confused and couldn't understand the idioms Xu Lai said, but he could understand what Xu Lai meant.

This is the magic of these heavenly heroes, there is no language barrier at all.

Xu Lai didn't want to be trapped in Conaston for too long, so he had long wanted to find an opportunity to wipe out all the opposition forces.

Therefore, these three days were given to them by Xu Lai on purpose, hoping that they could take advantage of these three days to communicate and collude.

Xu Lai is making troop arrangements here to ensure that all the leaders of the mercenary groups, especially Aini's supporters, can be wiped out in one fell swoop.

And these mercenary captains, who were being plotted by Xu Lai, were also discussing their own strategies.

Being temporarily blocked in the city for two days, it wasn't too much of a problem.

Xu Lai has not and will not completely block the city. If so many people in the city are blocked, a lot of people will starve to death.

But it’s not a big problem now, which doesn’t mean it won’t be a big problem tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

"Leader, please make a decision quickly. Today, there are already several newcomers who have just joined the group and left the group without even saying hello.

The Mercenary Guild didn't even pay attention to our opinions at all and went through the formalities directly for them. "

The leader of the group was tall and tall, with a square face full of sadness.

"This is nothing surprising. It is said that they killed corpses everywhere in the mercenary guild that day.

Mohan is old and has no responsibilities, so it is inevitable to give in to Xu Lai. "

"The Tigers sent an envoy and invited us to come together tomorrow to discuss countermeasures. I think he wants to form an alliance with us.

Moreover, it is said that the Tigers have recruited at least three local mercenary groups. Their four mercenary groups combined have over a thousand people. "

The square-faced man glanced at the deputy captain beside him and said in a deep voice: "So, do you also think we should form an alliance with them?"

The deputy captain gritted his teeth and said: "That's right, rather than being targeted, it's better to just give it a try.

That person named Xu came here for us. My friend in the mercenary guild told me that it was the person named Xu who specially transferred all the detailed information of our seven guilds.

This guy clearly wants to kill us. "

After a moment of silence, the square-faced captain asked the other deputy captain:

"Qiuqiu, what do you think?"

The person called Qiuqiu was surprisingly a young woman.

Qiuqiu is not only a young woman, but also a hero descended from heaven, and her level is not low.

It can be said that the mercenary group paid a heavy price for Qiuqiu to reach this level.

Of course, this price has been paid off. With Qiuqiu's blessing, all mercenaries below the vice president can receive huge improvements.

It is precisely because of Qiuqiu that the ranking of their Rainbow Mercenary Group has risen again and again, and is now among the top three top mercenary groups in Conaston.

"Xu Lai, I have inquired about his deeds, and generally speaking he should be a good person.

At least compared to that old guy Aini, Xu Lai is much better.

And all in all, our relationship with Aini is not that deep.

I heard that all of Aini’s shops in the city were taken back and re-rented.

But Xu Lai still gave those businessmen a three-month transition period, and the original owner would still have priority if he continued to rent. "

"What do you mean by that?" The other deputy captain immediately became alert.

Qiuqiu did not continue to cover up, but simply said: "I mean, why can't we cooperate with Xu Lai?

Our guild’s previous ranking was not very high, and our relationship with Aini was not very deep.

And I went to inquire specifically. Many businessmen came here specifically to do business after learning that Xu Lai occupied Conaston.

It is said that it is because Xu Lai's Qingfeng City has very good public security and various policies.

As soon as he took office, he immediately introduced various policies to promote business development and benefit the common people.

Just by canceling the city entry tax, poll tax and other exorbitant taxes, we don’t know how much money will be saved for our mercenary group every year.

As far as I know, many low-level mercenaries are actually very supportive of Xu Lai.

If we blindly confront Xu Lai, we will only end up being deserted by everyone.

This is the case when we unite together and are lucky enough to protect ourselves.

But I guess if we have to confront Xu Lai head-on.

Not to mention that only our few mercenary groups are united, even if all the mercenaries in the city are united, they will only be crushed into pieces.

In addition, even if the old guy Aini can recapture Conaston, believe it or not, he will only double the exploitation of us.

So, I really don’t know why we have any reason to continue to support Aini. ”

The square-faced captain nodded, then glanced at the deputy captain and several other captains in charge of leading the team.

“Even so, he is just a descending hero, why should he confront the nobles of the entire grassland.

Although Earl Aini is a little greedy, we have invested hundreds of thousands of gold coins in him. Now that we break up with him, won’t the previous investment be wasted? "

Qiuqiu shook her head silently, too lazy to continue paying attention to the deputy leader, but looked at Fang Zhengmian with expectation.

Seeing this, Fang Zhengmian also sighed and said: "What Bulova said makes sense. Xu Lai is weak and I don't think highly of him.

If we go to him now, the future may be even more miserable.

In my opinion, we might as well take out a sum of money and get forgiveness from Xu Lai.

Everyone will keep out of each other's way and live in peace in the future.

In this way, if Xu Lai is defeated in the future, it will not affect us. "

The girl called Qiuqiu laughed angrily: "My leader, are you stupid?

Now they are clearly asking us to take sides. Do you think a person like him will take a fancy to the savings of a small mercenary group like ours?

I am not afraid of saying something unpleasant. Even if you sell all the assets of the entire mercenary group, including the people, how many gold coins can you get?

See if Xu Lai will look at you more when you send this money over!

You still keep your distance from others, do you think you have a choice? "

The leader of the mercenary group was scolded by his subordinates but he didn't get angry.

Even the captains sitting in the hall looked accustomed to it.

"Look at you, don't be anxious, can't you just talk it out nicely!"

The leader said humbly.

Qiuqiu rolled his eyes at him and snorted coldly:

"I heard from other heroes that Xu Lai will gather all the heroes of Conaston tomorrow, saying that he wants to send away all the villages, manors and towns near Conaston.

I think he must be very short of manpower now. If we join him now, it will be a timely help.

After tomorrow, even if you want to join him, it will be icing on the cake at most, and it will be worthless. "

Qiuqiu has made an indelible contribution to the success of the Rainbow Mercenary Group.

For reasons known to everyone, Qiuqiu is not only the deputy leader, but also the only one who can legitimately manage his own leader.

Even Bulova, who is also the deputy leader, can only bow his head and endure when Qiuqiu scolds him.

"Okay, you always have your own ideas. If we get close to Xu Lai, will he be willing to accept us?

After all, we were all Aini's people before. Can he trust us so easily?"

Qiuqiu patted her plump chest and said, "Don't worry, I will go tomorrow and meet him in person." (End of this chapter)
