In the brothel, Kriges was beating things in the room frantically, looking hideous.
"Xu Kuang, damn Xu Kuang! He just spared Verrico's life, and now he has become a viscount. Damn it, damn it! I personally brought a wolf in!".
The prostitute stood at the door, trembling, afraid to make a sound, for fear that Kriges would notice her and make herself a tool to vent her anger.
Kriges regretted it greatly. Half a year ago, Xu Kuang defeated Viscount Baihua Veric, but did not take advantage of the situation to kill him. He immediately wrote a letter to reprimand Xu Kuang. Who knew that Xu Kuang ignored him at all, but instead
Veliko found many people to investigate him secretly. It was obvious that Veliko already knew something.
Who told Viscount Bai Hua these things is clear at a glance.
Kriges wished he could eat Xu Kuang alive.
Now that Xu Kuang has become a viscount, he has no chance to attack Xu Kuang at all. He understands that with Xu Kuang's intelligence, it will take only a few years to build Mushroom Ridge like an iron bucket, and a needle cannot penetrate water.
Can't be poured in.
Kriges sighed secretly, he really didn't know what to do next.
Suddenly, he raised his head and said to the prostitute beside him:
"Quickly, prepare a horse for me. I want to go to Mushroom Ridge myself."
…
Parker respectfully took the plan of Mushroom Ridge. He opened it and couldn't help but admire:
"This city is worthy of being built by the Viscount. It is really majestic. Even compared to Moriel City, it is not far behind.".
Xu Kuang smiled and said to Parker:
"By the way, we have also decided on a name for this new city. Let's call it Gladiolus City. I hope Deputy Director Parker can give you more support in the future."
Parker smiled and said to Xu Kuang:
"No, no, no, support each other, support each other.".
Xu Kuang smiled, but did not expose Parker.
They have never supported each other. Ever since Xu Kuang exposed Parker's background, Parker has been in Xu Kuang's hands.
Parker left, taking a small box with him. No one knew what was in the box.
Xu Kuang watched Parker leave, feeling very satisfied. He knew that from today on, there would be no Mushroom Ridge, only a new city called Gladiolus City.
Xu Kuang called Zhou Jin and discussed with him the expansion of the army.
Zhou Jin thought for a moment and said to Xu Kuang:
"Lord, I don't think we should be too anxious about the expansion of our army. We should expand our army slowly and not too hastily. We have exposed many shortcomings in these battles, including the problem that soldiers are at a loss when facing battles. If possible,
I think we can expand the army by one more brigade in the first phase. These two brigades should be enough to defend the new city."
Xu Kuang was very satisfied with Zhou Jin's response. He said to Zhou Jin:
"You are the military commander of the Panshi Army. This matter is up to you. But a brigade is just an expansion of the army. Our navy and air force also need to expand. Now there are tens of thousands of professionals in Mushroom Ridge. This batch of
If people want to be utilized, we can’t let them farm anymore, right? These people have to be utilized, and they should make the best use of their talents, do you understand?”
Zhou Jin frowned slightly and asked:
"I dare to ask my lord, most of this group of people are still new to the three professions and have not yet formed combat effectiveness. Those who have formed combat effectiveness cannot all be classified into the army. How should the specific proportion be distributed?".
Zhou Jin was not sure about this matter and could only let Xu Kuang make up his own mind.
Xu Kuang thought for a while and said to Zhou Jin:
"The samurai profession is the largest, with 70% of them being incorporated into the army. All nature priests are incorporated into the army. Magicians and other priests will be incorporated into the research institute first. We will wait until there are enough manpower before making plans."
Zhou Jin nodded, knowing that this was the only way he could do it now.
Xu Kuang thought of the reconnaissance brigade in his previous life again, and he felt that he could definitely build such a one.
"By the way, I think a special force can be formed. All members of this force are completely composed of three professions. They have another training system. Their role is not reflected in the frontal battlefield, but to provide services for frontal combat.
Such as reconnaissance, infiltration, capturing enemies, beheading... What do you think?"
Zhou Jin frowned slightly. He thought about it carefully and felt that there was something wrong with this matter.
His eyes lit up and he immediately asked:
"How many personnel do you plan to use to form this army?"
Xu Kuang smiled and said:
"The number of people does not need to be too large for the time being. One company is enough. Each profession must be available. It is best to be able to infiltrate and lurk behind enemy lines for months or even years. Professionals are a hard requirement, do you understand?"
Zhou Jin had already found a notebook and wrote it down.
Xu Kuang discussed with Zhou Jin for a long time, and then Zhou Jin left excitedly.
Not long after, Ryan walked over with a frown and a note.
"Master, did you approve this payment? Why did the army want to withdraw more than one million yuan at once? That Zhou Jin also said that this is only the first batch of money and food, and more will be needed in the future..."
Xu Kuang nodded awkwardly and said to Ryan:
"Yes, you will try your best to meet the army's needs in the future."
Ryan nodded, but he still felt that the troops formed by Xu Kuang were too expensive. They could fight if they could, but what kind of battles could they fight in peacetime?
One day later, Zhou Jin's results report was presented. He stated in the report that he had formed a reinforced company of more than 200 people. All of these 200 people were equipped with storage rings, which were distributed with various types of equipment.
Their professions include warriors, magicians of all types, alchemy priests, totem priests, healing priests, nature priests...
Xu Kuang felt numb when he saw the bill below.
The group of two hundred people had only been established for one day, and they had already spent more than 200,000 gold coins. Zhou Jin had six 92-step cannons for this group of people, and the number of artillery shells was almost unlimited.
Not to mention various other weapons and artillery, the equipment of this reconnaissance company is enough to arm a reinforced regiment of 2,000 people.
Xu Kuang:......
This is only a force that exists on paper, and it has already spent one-thirtieth of this year's military budget. Xu Kuang even wondered if Zhou Jin had embezzled part of it, but he thought about it again, so
I don’t respect Lao Zhou a bit.
Xu Kuang could only twitch the corner of his mouth and say:
"It's okay, they all have storage rings, so you don't have to worry about storage space.".
It is a pity that Xu Kuang can still only make one cubic storage ring. His only super-level work was given to Count Moriel. Now he can only purchase large-capacity storage rings.
Xu Kuang deeply realized that he was no longer needed in the urban construction of Gladiolus City. He needed to take a break from the busy government affairs and start studying his own work.
There is also the task of subduing Ewen Chris. He now stands on the top of the city every day and looks into the distance, just waiting for Ewen to appear and he will capture Ewen immediately.
Of course, this is just a thought. Ewen's attributes are frighteningly exaggerated, and his intelligence is close to 400 points. With this kind of intensity, any fireball you throw can be as good as level 4 magic (brave level). If you want to stop it with brute force,
Ewen Chris, is unlikely.
Xu Kuang was a little troubled.
On this day, Xu Kuang stood on the top of the city again. Instead of waiting for Aiwen, he waited for Kriges.
