Recently, Baicheng has been plagued by disasters, and the city lord is very worried about it.
A large group of ferocious scorpion tail beasts emerged from the Black Canyon. The Black Canyon is the main transportation route of Baicheng. Once this place is blocked, it will undoubtedly strangle the throat of Baicheng.
Baicheng has invested a lot of military and financial resources to eliminate the scorpion beasts, which has caused a lot of damage to Baicheng's strength.
Finally, after many efforts, the Black Canyon was finally opened, but the negative impact has not disappeared until now.
Recently, the orcs in the north are ready to move. A group of the most elite wolf cavalry bypassed the monitoring post of the Luohan Mountains and was harassing the marginal areas. Not to mention that they almost captured Baisong Town,
they also attacked villages and caravans, causing great losses and injuries to civilians and merchants, so that people complained everywhere. As the city lord, he naturally suffered huge pressure for this.
"Lord City Lord!" At this time, an assistant came in with a stack of information on the table, "This is the recent situation in White City, and there is also information about your evaluation."
Although I haven't read it yet, I can guess a thing or two. White City has been hit by natural disasters and the performance has declined rapidly in the past few months. Various rumors have been spreading, many industries have been impacted, several chambers of commerce have given up investment and business activities in White City, and the price of grain and weapons in the city has skyrocketed.
That's it.
Natural disasters are inevitable, and the lord will not blame them for it.
The most important thing is that the people's grievances are difficult to quell.
The wolf cavalry caused several villages to be massacred, and each village always produced one or two talents, becoming merchants, soldiers, officials, or warlocks.
When the news of the village being massacred and the revenge of relatives came, how could they not lose their minds?
They all wanted to destroy the orcs and avenge the dead.
The city lord felt great pressure, but the wolf cavalry was very mobile, so how could they be easily tracked?
Therefore, they could only station several thousand black armored soldiers in the main towns to temporarily protect the safety of the town. However, this approach was considered too conservative, and countless people criticized and condemned it.
For this reason, the reputation of the city lord plummeted, and many people believed that the city lord was cowardly and incompetent.
The city lord picked up the report.
"The statue of the city lord was splashed with dog blood!"
"The inaction of the city lord of Baicheng led to 500 people protesting in the streets!"
"The three major chambers of commerce announced that they would give up investment in Baicheng, and one chamber of commerce evacuated Baicheng. Some experts predicted that Baicheng's fiscal revenue in the first half of the year would shrink by at least 5,000 gold coins!"
"The city lord's support rate has declined!"
"The reputation of Baicheng has declined, and several nearby cities have benefited from it and ushered in a development boom!"
"..."
The whole article was full of negative comments, and many of the news came from several surrounding cities.
Other city lords deliberately fanned the flames and ridiculed, and even spread rumors that the orcs were about to attack Baicheng with a large army, which scared many businessmen away. Many projects that were originally carried out in Baicheng were cancelled.
The city lord crumpled the information into a ball and angrily smashed it against the wall: "Foolish people!"
The assistant said cautiously: "What should we do?"
The city lord took a few deep breaths and asked helplessly: "Talk to the Hound Mercenaries again. If it doesn't work, just follow their price!"
The Hound Mercenaries are a mercenary group in White City. Different mercenaries have different structures.
This is a mercenary group with intelligence as its main business. It is responsible for collecting magic beasts, herbs, minerals or other intelligence, and selling them to the military, merchants, mercenaries, adventurers, and making profits from it.
The Hound Mercenaries raise a large number of low-level magic beasts such as wolves, dogs, and eagles, so they have outstanding search capabilities.
The White City Army's reconnaissance capabilities are far inferior to those of the Hound Mercenaries. If you want to track the wolf cavalry, you must use the Hound Mercenaries!
What is a mercenary?
Mercenaries mean mercenaries!
This kind of army is an unrestrained free force. Don't expect the hound mercenaries to work voluntarily. The city lord is also prepared to pay a high enough fee.
The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.
But he never expected that the leader of the hound mercenaries seemed to see that the city lord had to rely on them, and directly offered a sky-high price of 2,000 gold coins.
What is this concept?
This is 50 times the normal price, at least it will drain the financial surplus of White City this month! White City has fought several battles, and its finances are already very tight. The hound mercenaries still want to make a fortune at this time?
This practice of robbing and robbing made the city lord very angry, but the mercenaries are free forces, and the city lord of White City can't do anything to them. The first negotiation broke down directly.
Now the situation is forced, if the wolf cavalry is not eliminated, the loss will be more than 2,000 gold coins.
The city lord's assistant was very helpless and was about to say goodbye and leave.
Suddenly there was a bang.
A guard burst in through the door, shouting with joy on his face: "Lord, good news! Good news! The wolf cavalry has been completely wiped out."
The Lord's eyes widened: "What did you say?"
"Good news from Baisong Town, 500 elite wolf cavalry of the Orcs have been completely wiped out!"
The Lord stood up "whoosh", and couldn't believe that the wolf cavalry that had troubled him for many days would be wiped out by a small town. This thorny problem was solved just like that?
"What's going on?"
"What's going on?"
The Lord hurriedly confirmed the details and finally verified the news himself. He laughed excitedly and shouted: "Well done! Great job! Hound mercenaries? Go eat shit!"
The assistant quickly flattered him: "God bless Baicheng!
The Lord waved his hand: "Let Liu Qian hold a press conference! I want to let all the people in the city know this good news! ”
After the official press conference, the news spread throughout the Baicheng area. Countless civilians, businessmen, and soldiers admired Baisong Town.
Orcs are born with racial advantages. Orc warriors are stronger than human warriors. As one of the most elite arms, the wolf cavalry can fight ten of them if they encounter ordinary human troops!
How many people are there in the Baisong Town garrison?
Even with the black armored troops sent, they can barely protect themselves!
The Snow Wolf Mercenaries made outstanding contributions!
Oscar, the planner of the operation, was exposed again.
Baicheng was boiling. When people learned about it, they immediately started to discuss it.
After reading the newspaper, a citizen of the city screamed, "Damn, why is it this guy again!"
The boss of a media said with a wry smile, "Why is it this guy again? Is he a headline killer?"
A nymphomaniac girl screamed, "Wow, it's an idol again! "
Undoubtedly, Oscar has made the headlines again.
"White City Daily": "Oscar outsmarted the Orcs and wiped out the Wolf Riders at the lowest cost!"
"White City Warcraft Magazine": "The Iron Arm Ape is a ferocious and brutal Warcraft with very strong combat capabilities. The materials it produces are of limited value and are not welcomed by mercenaries and material merchants. Therefore, to deal with them, you need the courage of a tomato!"
A military magazine called "Frontline" used a whole page to analyze it from beginning to end, and finally wrote at the end: "Oscar cleverly used the Black Armor Army to feign defeat to lure the enemy deep into the country, and then used the Warcraft to severely damage the Wolf Riders, and finally joined forces to encircle and annihilate the enemy. It was linked together and wonderful! The general's talent was fully displayed in the midst of strategizing! "
The media exaggerated the facts. Oscar did not have the ability to make ingenious calculations.
This encounter was purely accidental. Oscar set a trap only to kill the Iron Arm Ape. It had nothing to do with the orcs.
Moreover, if the wolf cavalry had not split up, Cheng Wu's black armored army would have been destroyed in a few rounds of attacks. There was no time to retreat, and there was no chance to send out a distress signal for the mercenaries and Baisong Town to see.
Dare not do anything.
The brilliant results are in front of us. The wolf cavalry was eliminated, the hidden dangers no longer exist, and the Iron Arm Ape was eliminated, and the environment of Baisong Town is more stable.
At the same time, the Iron Arm Ape's entrenched area is rich in herbal minerals and has considerable commercial value!
Oscar's role in it is self-evident!
…………
In Baisong Town, Oscar had just finished his training and was only one step away from the 11th ring. It is expected to be reached within three or two days.
No matter what the city was in, Oscar always kept himself out of it and did what he had to do every day.
"A letter from Baicheng! "Qin Yue saw Oscar coming out and handed him a letter, "The city lord reported the matter to the lord, and this time a big reward will definitely not be missed! In addition, the city lord invites you to be an official in Baicheng."
"Forget about being an official, I'm not interested."
Qin Yue smiled and said, "I guessed it!"
"But I plan to leave Baisong Town and move to the city!"
Qin Yue showed a happy expression, "Really?"
Oscar nodded and said, "I will be able to advance to a magician soon. The equipment in Baisong Town is too poor. There is not even a decent laboratory. We need a better living environment."
Qin Yue nodded repeatedly and said, "You should have gone a long time ago! Your talent can be better displayed in Baicheng! "
Oscar's reputation in Baisong Town is too high, not only does it make Weinan feel uncomfortable, but he himself is also not comfortable. Now that the orcs have temporarily retreated, Oscar has nothing to worry about. He wants Alice to live a better life, and at the same time he needs a better environment, so he naturally has to move to the city.
Baicheng is a place with a population of two to three million.
Various families, different mercenaries, chambers of commerce, companies, major forces, various institutions... Its structure is ten times more complex than Baisong Town, and its prosperity is ten times that of Baisong Town. It is far more suitable for showing off than Baisong Town.
Mu Alice walked out of the room, holding a snow-white cloak, "Master, the mayor will hold a celebration banquet tonight. As the protagonist, you must dress well."
This cloak was sewn by Alice overnight. It was made of a complete piece of wolf skin. It was snow-white, flawless, soft and warm.
Oscar put on the cloak, and the whole person looked very heroic!
Alice said very satisfiedly: "It really matches the young master! "
Oscar scratched her nose and said, "Of course, it doesn't matter whose work it is! You go change your clothes, we'll go to the banquet right away."
The two girls changed into their attire for the banquet. Alice was youthful and lovely, Qin Yue was beautiful and charming. The two completely different beauties following each other were enough to make any man jealous. The three of them boarded a bright and luxurious carriage. Meng Hu wore a brand new armor and drove Oscar himself.
The four of them attended the celebration banquet.
Behind Oscar followed two charming beauties and a giant man with a bear-like figure.
It was hard not to attract attention!
"Sir Oscar!"
"Please come in! "
The guard took over the carriage respectfully, and then took Oscar to lead the banquet. The banquet was held in a hall, decorated with lights and colors, very festive, far more festive than during festivals.
The whole air was filled with the tempting aroma of wine and meat. A long table was filled with silver tableware, wine, delicious food, etc.
Oscar sat side by side with the mayor.
The others sat at the long tables on both sides.
Wei Nan came up to greet him personally, shook his hand warmly, and said excitedly: "You are really the lucky star of Baisong Town!
Those orcs are cruel by nature, and they don't let go of the elderly and children. Their methods are extremely cruel, and the people have long been indignant! Or you have a way! No matter what, please accept my greeting today!"
Wei Nan stood up and bowed to Oscar.
The mayor was like this, so how could other merchants dare to be careless? They all stood up and bowed to Oscar to show their respect.
Oscar's reputation in Baisong Town has reached its peak.
