Chapter 529: Mercenary commission achieved

Seeing the old Walter, who has been acting calmly as the deputy commander, rarely showed a shocked expression, including the other two old great magicians, the mercenaries couldn't help but start to look at each other.

After a while, looking at Old Walter, who was still in a sluggish state, and Old Phil, the impatient fire magician, he couldn't help blowing his gray beard again. Asked: "Deputy head, what happened, you are talking!"

"The old man just received a report from the liaison officer of the Fanyin City branch."

I saw Old Walter took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and then said slowly: "Just as your Excellency Keqing said, the mountain fortress offensive and defensive battle that started early this morning was finally won by my Leng Yan army. end!"

Having said that, Old Walter's eyes fell on Lei Xiao, who was indifferent in front of him, and he couldn't help showing a look of awe.

Then, in an excited and slightly trembling voice, he continued to say word by word: "It is precisely because of the great help of Your Excellency Keqing and Her Royal Highness that after a fierce battle for a long time, our three legions of the Leng Yan Army have suffered 8,000 casualties. At the price of human beings, the five legions of the Holy Night Army were wiped out in one fell swoop, and the opponent's powerhouses above Tier 3 lost most of it!

Moreover, the embarrassed holy night remnants have all retreated to the side of their own borders, and spit out all the land they occupied before! "

"Deputy head, this... is this true?"

After listening to Old Walter's rhythmic and encouraging words, after a moment of silence, Old Phil, who was wearing a red robe, immediately stepped forward, grabbed the former's arm, and said in amazement: "My Leng Yanjun is really in the frontier battlefield. Such a great victory?!"

"Exactly."

Taking a deep breath again, Old Walter's old face was full of solemnity. He first bowed slightly to Lei Xiao, and then he said, "What Your Excellency Keqing said just now is exactly the same!"

Directly opposite, Lei Xiao smiled without saying a word, just nodded slightly.

"That's great! Actually, it was my Leng Yanjun who won a big victory!"

"Hahaha, God bless me Leng Yan!"

"It's a great joy to be able to get rid of most of the crumbs of those holy nights!"

"Speaking of which, it's really thanks to Her Royal Highness the Princess and Your Excellency Ke Qing! It's the pillar of my Leng Yan's country!"

Seeing this scene, the other mercenaries, including the other two old magicians, couldn't help cheering and cheering uncontrollably, and they began to sound one after another in the banquet hall.

However, while the mercenaries were exhilarated, pairs of embarrassed and awe-inspiring eyes focused on Lei Xiao again.

Just now, they were still trying to save the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, doubting the authenticity of Ke Qing's words. You must know that Your Excellency Ke Qing is the hero of this victory!

And they, just because of the war mission, began to maliciously try to figure out His Excellency Keqing...

"Your Excellency Keqing, I was the one with shallow knowledge just now, so please don't take offense."

I saw old Walter in a blue robe, stroking his gray beard embarrassedly, and said to Lei Xiao, "I am here to apologize to Your Excellency Keqing and the Princess."

After speaking, the old magician once again bowed in the direction of Lei Xiao and Ariel.

The other mercenaries also lowered their heads in shame.

With the unfavorable strength of three legions, they defeated the eight legions of the Holy Night Army... With such a shocking battle loss ratio, no one would doubt that this smiling young man in front of him was absolutely terrifyingly tough!

"Master Walter is welcome, everyone is welcome."

Waving his hand slightly, Lei Xiao still kept a smile and said: "As I said just now, we haven't gotten to know each other yet, so it's normal to have doubts.

Furthermore, this great victory was all because Her Royal Highness, the Princess, was at the forefront of the battlefield, fighting with all the Lengyan warriors without fear of life and death, and I was only there to assist. "

"Your Excellency Ke Qing is too modest. Just because he can be appreciated by Her Royal Highness, it shows that Your Excellency Ke Qing is by no means ordinary."

On the other side, the old magician Walter stroked his long white beard and then flattered.

Needless to say, although Her Royal Highness the Princess is known as both civil and military, she has never been on the battlefield.

And people who saw the **** battlefield, the land of Shura for the first time, naturally couldn't command the army so calmly.

As for the main general of the mountain fortress, Bai Lao, although he is also a famous general of Leng Yan, he also has the reputation of a fortress general that will never fall.

However, in the previous confrontation with the Red Devils, he has never won such a big victory. In the past, the victory or defeat was at most 55 points, or in the case of evenly matched, not to mention the difference in combat power. .

Otherwise, the morale in the fortress would not be so low.

From this, the biggest possibility is undoubtedly that this young guest has played a decisive role in this victory and defeat.

Realizing this, Old Walter's slightly cloudy eyeballs rolled, and doubts flooded his old face again.

Or the question just now, who is this unfathomable young guest? Simply incredible.

"Master Walter is rude."

Looking at Old Walter's vaguely puzzled old face, Lei Xiao turned and said: "Then, we can continue to talk about it now, right?"

Immediately afterwards, without waiting for the other party to answer, Lei Xiao added: "At present, the Holy Night Army has returned to its old lair, and all the food, grass and luggage have been burned, at least in the short term, they are unable to launch an attack.

Moreover, as far as I know, the new king of Holy Night is extremely hesitant about the war between the two countries. All this is just the wealthy and powerful people of the main battle faction in Holy Night, who are playing tricks behind the scenes. Can't make any waves. "

Looking at the old magician's already hesitant eyes, Lei Xiao lightly shook the goblet in his hand and continued: "Therefore, as I said at the beginning, what Her Royal Highness entrusted to you is only a It's a very simple guardian mission."

"this……"

Hearing this, Old Walter once again glanced at the two old magicians beside him, both looking hesitant from the other's eyes.

Even so, the entrustment of Her Royal Highness the Princess is a war mission after all, so it is natural to think carefully about the pros and cons.

"Master Walter, Master Phil, and Master Swell, at present, Leng Yan has internal and external troubles and may be in danger of overturning at any time."

While sipping the rose-colored champagne in the glass, Lei Xiao said leisurely: "I know this, for the bohemian you, the impact is quite limited, but if you can help the Leng Yan royal family to defend the fortress, then everyone will undoubtedly It will gain the reputation of protecting the country and the people.”

Having said this, Lei Xiao smiled slightly and continued to add: "I think the noble mercenary group should not dislike it, and my reputation is getting higher and higher, right?"

"This is true. It has expanded its influence in the human race countries and can indeed attract more powerhouses to join."

Nodding slightly, Old Swell nodded thoughtfully.

"Old man, don't think too beautiful!"

I saw the impatient old Phil on the side with a stern face, blowing his beard and staring: "Once that holy night makes a comeback and attacks again for revenge, wouldn't I become the opponent's sandbag in vain?"

"Oh? Is Master Phil so unconfident about his own strength?"

Still with that tepid expression, Lei Xiao smiled half-jokingly.

"Not at all."

Hearing the vague displeasure in Lei Xiao's voice, the old Phil, who was wearing a red robe, coughed twice, and then laughed dryly: "This old man is just evaluating the risks of this mission, and I also invite Your Excellency Guest Qing. Don't take offense."

After Old Phil finished speaking, Old Walter and Old Swell on the side nodded again and again, and, unlike the former, both of them showed a look of eagerness to try.

Just as the young guest in front of him said, at present, at least in a short period of time, the chance of the Holy Night Army returning from a big defeat is almost zero.

Therefore, the entrustment of Her Royal Highness the Princess is indeed a win for fame and fortune.

They exchanged glances again, and old Walter, the deputy head of the regiment, immediately said, "Your Excellency Keqing, can you allow the three of us to discuss for a moment?"

"The three masters please."

After he finished speaking, Lei Xiao nodded slightly, then raised his glass and turned to leave.

While turning around, Lei Xiao couldn't help but slightly raised his eyebrows.

Judging from the visibly loose expression on the wrinkled old face of old Walter, this time the commission is already inseparable.

Next, naturally, it's time to talk about hiring prices.

And this is precisely the part that I don't care about the most.

Sure enough, just after Lei Xiao had just wrapped a piece of golden fried fish that was full of sauce, crispy on the outside and tender inside, and put it into his mouth.

The three old magicians, taking quite vigorous steps, appeared in front of him again.

"Your Excellency Keqing, since it is the entrustment issued by Her Royal Highness Princess, then our Dragon Tooth Mercenary Group is naturally bound to!"

Facing Lei Xiao and helping his beard with a smile, Old Walter said impatiently, "Our Dragontooth Mercenary Group is willing to accept this commission!"

Speaking of which, a hint of hesitation appeared on Old Walter's old face, and he said, "But..."

"Master Walter is talking about commissions, right?"

Nodding to the old magician, Lei Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, there are enough golden dragons on Her Royal Highness, Master Walter only needs to say a number. a month."

"Understood, the old man will be blunt."

Hearing the sound, Old Walter hardly hesitated, and immediately said: "Your Excellency, including the old man, the twelve powerhouses present, and the two elite second-order mercenary squadrons of my Dragontooth Mercenary Corps, a total of 212 people, one day How about 60,000 golden dragons, plus room and board above the average standard?"

After speaking, old Walter swallowed involuntarily.

This price is about 10% higher than the standard commission. He deliberately added it after negotiation. After all, he has to give Your Excellency Keqing a chance to bargain, right?

According to previous experience, even the richest aristocrats will definitely bargain more or less. After all, no one's wealth can be blown by the wind, or can be doubled with the move of a finger.

Looking at the golden dragon, flowing into other people's pockets, even if it is the Leng Yan royal family bidding, you have to shop around.

You must know that if it is calculated on a monthly basis, it is 1.8 million golden dragons, which is enough to equal the total profit of an ordinary-sized city for more than ten years, which is evident!

For example, the former Fanyin City Lord Or, couldn't come up with so much money...

For ordinary civilians, the price of this day is undoubtedly an astronomical figure that cannot be earned in a lifetime!

At this moment, old Walter was thinking about whether he was getting a little taller.

On the other side, Lei Xiao smiled lightly, and then said decisively, "Deal!"

For him, it was natural to use only a mere 1.8 million golden dragons in exchange for a month of stability in the border area.

At present, Lei Xiao still has 7.6 million gold dragons in cash.

Moreover, Lin is still taking the time to secretly deal with a large number of ordinary valuables obtained from Wang Xi and Luo Ji.

In addition, if necessary, Lei Xiao could immediately use the Shanglu Trade Fair, or in the name of any city lord under his control, to hold several large-scale auctions alone, so as to obtain a large number of golden dragons.

As a result, Lei Xiao naturally would not be short of money. Instead, he felt that using only these golden dragons was simply too good value for money.

"What?"

Hearing Lei Xiao's unhesitating response, Old Walter looked at each other again in shock with the other two great magicians.

At this moment, the three people couldn't help but have the same thought: "This is definitely the case with the gold owner, the commission... I'm afraid it will be a little lower."

Realizing this, the old faces of the three showed a vague look of remorse again.

He was keenly aware of the psychological activities of the three old magicians in front of him~www.readwn.com~ The smile on Lei Xiao's face gradually deepened.

As soon as his mind moved, three small dark gray magic scrolls instantly appeared on the palm of his hand.

"This is the fourth-order magic scroll that seals the absolute element defense enchantment?!"

Recognizing the precious item in Lei Xiao's hands at a glance, the three old magicians all swallowed and spit, their wrinkled old faces full of surprise.

You must know that this kind of absolute element defense enchantment that can completely resist any attack below the fourth-order powerhouse within 10 seconds, but only the fifth-order magician with boundless mana can make it!

As long as they don't encounter fifth-order powerhouses, for them fourth-order powerhouses, it is tantamount to an absolute life-saving trump card!

Its rarity and value, at auctions, gold dragons with more than seven figures can easily be auctioned, and they are often priced out of the market, which is evident!

"Your Excellency Keqing, you are..."

Looking at the small scroll in Lei Xiao's hand with a three-pointed eagerness in surprise, old Walter asked cautiously.
