The conditions given by Song Zining were so generous that even the big commercial banks were excited and wondered whether they should expand their business lines. The risks of these businesses were not great, and the demand was endless. It can be said that as long as warships can be built, the price is right.
, there is no need to worry about buyers at all.
Moreover, the industries attracted by Song Zining, coupled with the existing trading houses in Nan Qingcheng, have formed a relatively complete industrial chain, which can process from metal ingots to precision equipment for floating battleships. This is only a prototype, but it will bring
The benefits are obvious, and anyone who can be in charge of a business knows this.
The reason why Nan Qingcheng was able to gradually prosper under Ji Rui's rule was due to its relatively stable development environment and convenient transportation to all directions. However, no matter how talented Ji Rui was, he could not bring together all the mercenary groups in the city.
Sweep away, merge into one
1. Even if he could do it, he would not do it, because it means that there will be a behemoth that can be compared with the city guard. Once such a mercenary group is in the hands of outsiders, then Nan Qingcheng will have no surname.
Ji, it's hard to say.
But for the commercial bank, it doesn't matter what Nan Qingcheng's last name is. As long as it makes money and the money is stable, that's enough.
The contact with the trading company was quite smooth, but nothing happened to Qianye during the whole process. After two full days of idleness, Qianye simply gathered dozens of mercenaries and formed a caravan all the way to Guanlan City.
Guanlan is a big city, and the demand for caravans heading to this city is endless. Qianye's caravan is still selecting people, and many trading companies have heard about it and asked to join.
Most of the companies that are willing to come are medium-sized companies, and the goods they want to carry are only one or two trucks. Many companies are still waiting to see what the strength of Dark Fire is. In the eyes of experts, the current Dark Fire is just a patchwork of groups.
The ragtag group is far from meeting the standards of an elite mercenary group. The reason why they are willing to take risks is because Qianye is personally in charge.
In the end, Qianye only needed thirty trucks, plus ten troop transport and armored trucks, before leaving Nan Qingcheng and heading towards Guanlan.
The environment in the wasteland is harsh, and there are sudden storms from time to time. This is because the land mass is not large enough and the protective layer is relatively fragile. Once the external void storm is too violent, it will cause corresponding natural disasters within the land mass.
Therefore, not far from the city, there are gradually no roads in the wasteland. The so-called roads are pressed out by the passing vehicles. Even such roads are also subject to storm erosion and are intermittent.
The convoy does not move very fast, especially the heavy-duty trucks, which can't travel much faster than a person jogging in the undulating terrain. It takes about three or four days to drive from Nanqing to Guanlan City.
The whole day was spent in the deserted wilderness, and Qianye was not impatient. He sat alone in a troop transport vehicle and silently practiced Yao Pian. Among the many techniques, only Song's ancient scrolls could not be mastered quickly and could only be practiced step by step.
Do the water grinding work bit by bit.
The mercenaries are not as relaxed as Qianye, and they always remain vigilant. Those veterans who often run escort missions all know how many dangers are hidden in the seemingly peaceful wilderness. The enemy may be ambushing in various dark corners, or even hiding in
Outside Guanlan City.
In the morning of the next day, a puff of smoke and dust suddenly rose on the distant horizon. The old mercenary in charge of the lookout in the lead car immediately stopped the vehicle and sounded the siren. The convoy suddenly became chaotic. Fortunately, people encountered similar situations.
Not once or twice, a respected leader of a trading firm stood up and directed the trucks to drive down the road, form a circle not far away, and plant the flags of each trading firm to show their identity.
The mercenaries were different. The two armored personnel carriers moved forward, while the ordinary personnel carriers retreated to the side. The mercenaries jumped off the vehicles one after another and scattered to the two wings to seize advantageous terrain.
On the roof of the leading car, the Ice Wolf was holding a telescope and looking in the direction of the rising smoke. Qianye's voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Why are you so nervous?"
The Ice Wolf was excited. Unlike those little bosses, he had personally seen Qianye show off his power and kill the Fury of the Wind. He handed the telescope to Qianye and said: "I'm afraid there is someone so powerful in this area.
Most likely they are the Wolf King’s troops.”
Qianye didn't pick up the telescope, just looked at the smoke and dust in the distance, and said, "They are the Wolf King's troops."
"Really the Wolf King?" The Ice Wolf said with a complex expression and full of worry: "Then you have to be careful."
The reputation of the Wolf King is not good. Even within their own control area, they often encounter robbers. Now in the wilderness, there is no one around, and there are dozens of trucks of goods in front of them. It cannot be said that they are too fat.
Oil is worth grabbing.
"All combat preparations!!" The Ice Wolf was the tactical commander of this trip. If Qianye didn't say anything, he would be responsible for the dispatch and defense of the entire mercenaries. After giving the order, he thought for a while and shouted: "Everyone is ready."
Be smart and don't make it too obvious! People on both sides should hide themselves, and vehicles behind should move out of the way of the main road."
This series of orders are all to avoid irritating the Wolf King's people. Once their ferocity is aroused, it is hard to say what will happen. The Ice Wolf itself is also a twelfth-level warrior, and his combat power is not weak.
.But years of caution have worn away his blood, and he really doesn't want to have a direct conflict with the Wolf King's people.
However, Qianye didn't think so. He stood with his hands behind his back and said without looking back: "Everyone is ready to fight."
This order made all the mercenaries stunned. The Ice Wolf also looked stunned and said in surprise: "Master, why is this?"
"Of course it's a carjacking." Qianye said calmly.
"Carjacking, carjacking?" The Ice Wolf thought there was something wrong with his ears. On the edge of the Wolf King's territory, robbed the Wolf King's motorcade? In the eyes of ordinary people, it was already a blessing that the Wolf King's people did not come to rob.
Qianye ignored the Ice Wolf and issued a second order: "Block the road and prepare for battle. Whoever doesn't want to join the battle, just give it a try!"
Qianye doesn't need to say what the consequences of avoiding war will be. The rule in the mercenary world is to avoid fighting and flee, and you will be hunted for the rest of your life. But here in Qianye, this rule has been changed. Anyone who dares not to fight will probably be killed first.
He will die in Qianye's hands.
The Ice Wolf smiled bitterly and turned around and said: "Drive up the troop carrier and block the road. You two, lead people to ambush on both wings, and then attack when we are close. The rest of you, follow me in the middle to build a defense line."
After his order was issued, the mercenaries started to move one by one. Qianye glanced at the Ice Wolf, which immediately made him shiver.
This time Qianye brought out veterans who had been on many battlefields, and it didn’t take long to set up a simple defense line. They hid behind bunkers, clenched their weapons, and looked at the opposite side nervously. Some of them even had bruises on their foreheads and palms.
Sweat. There is no way, the Wolf King has been accumulating power for a long time, and his actions at this moment are equivalent to slapping the Wolf King.
After setting up the defense line, the Ice Wolf finally couldn't help it and reminded tactfully: "Sir, it's easy to hijack a car, but after the robbery, what will happen to the Wolf King? I'm afraid he won't let it go."
Unexpectedly, Qianye smiled slightly and said: "Otherwise, why do you think I organized this caravan?"
The Ice Wolf's heart skipped a beat, and he realized that Qianye was not here to open up a trade route, but to cause trouble for the Wolf King.
At this moment, the billowing smoke in the distance has reached the sky. An armored personnel carrier rushed out of the gray sand, followed by more armed trucks roaring out, rushing straight along the rugged road. Behind these armed vehicles, several kilometers
In addition, there is another convoy of heavy-duty trucks moving forward slowly. This convoy is only protected by two armed trucks, and there are only a dozen soldiers in total.
This is normal. Although the wilderness in this area is dangerous, the biggest source of danger is the Wolf King's people. Who dares to stroke the tiger's beard when they see the Wolf King's emblem on the truck?
So the armed convoy took a step forward to see if there were any good opportunities on the road. They had done this kind of thing more than once in the past and were already very skilled at it.
The armored truck rushing at the front had already discovered that someone was blocking the road ahead and had set up a defense line. A tall werewolf on the front of the truck could hardly believe his eyes. How dare someone block the Wolf King's convoy in this place?
He was also cruel by nature. He would grab the gun from the person next to him and aim it at the convoy blocking the road. He would shoot as soon as he got within range.
However, when he was still out of range, Qianye said: "Shoot."
The Ice Wolf lost his voice and said: "What?"
"I said, shoot." Qianye repeated it again, and then without waiting for his answer, he took off an extended sniper rifle from his back and aimed at the werewolf on the front of the opposite car.
"But, sir, the other party may not intend to fight..."
Before the Ice Wolf finished speaking, a pair of light wings suddenly appeared behind Qianye, and the sniper rifle in his hand spurted out long flames of the Force, and the gunfire sounded like thunder!
In the roar, the entire head of the tall werewolf on the opposite side exploded into blood mist, and the headless body fell to the sky!
Gunshots rang out, and the soldiers on both sides instinctively began to fire desperately. Suddenly, the battlefield was filled with gunshots and flames shooting into the sky! But at this moment, neither side was within shooting range.
The Wolf King's men have always been arrogant and fierce. They roared and turned the engine to the maximum. The armed trucks were like wild beasts and rushed towards the front position. The distance between the two sides was only a thousand meters, and they rushed into the shooting range in the blink of an eye.
Under the bombardment of various firearms, there were immediate casualties.
Qianye remained motionless as a mountain, the wings on his back reappeared, and a layer of pale golden light appeared on the sniper rifle. With the roar of gunfire, an armed truck exploded into a fireball, and the entire body of Sir Werewolf above was blasted into two pieces.
Instant death.
Qianye's gun muzzle moved sideways, and the third roar sounded. The werewolf first-class Viscount in the center of the charging team fell down in response.
After three shots, Qianye put away the sniper rifle, put it behind his back, and stood with his hands behind his back, obviously not planning to take another shot.
The Ice Wolf watched from the side with chills all over his body. Qianye fired three shots in an understatement and killed three of the four titled werewolves on the opposite side. Moreover, the leading first-class viscount was all killed with one shot. This was so powerful.
To what extent?
Now there was only one third-class viscount left on the opposite side. The Ice Wolf understood that this was reserved for him. He sighed secretly in his heart, knowing that he had no choice, so he drew out his sword and shield and faced the rain of bullets.
