To be honest, Li Huailin was a little worried when he received Su Ruoyan's long-range message. The first thing he thought of was Jiang Xueping's matter. This matter was too troublesome. Although he had confessed to Su Ruoyan and seemed to have obtained her approval, it wouldn't be very troublesome if Jiang Xueping, this troublesome woman, caused trouble again.
At this time, Li Huailin was worried that Jiang Xueping would cause trouble again, so he hurried back. However, when he returned, he realized that it was not the case at all. Because the person waiting for him was not only Su Ruoyan, but also the Rebirth Guild Leader Night Flight.
"Sigh … Something about the company?" Li Huailin asked softly.
"Yes." Su Ruoyan said, "You are the boss of the company after all. You have to do something, right?"
"Uh …" Li Huailin directly facepalmed, "Okay, okay. What's the matter?"
"It's about the territory." Night Flight said seriously, "I need your help now."
"Territory? Oh, by the way, your guild territory is within my fief. " Li Huailin nodded, "What's wrong? What happened? Do you not have enough funds to build the territory? You want to borrow money from me? Then discuss it with Ruoyan. "
"No." Night Flight said, "It's about the territory guards."
"Territory guards?" Li Huailin asked.
"Didn't we say before that our guild territory is built on your fief? If there is a need, we can borrow some NPC troops from you to defend the territory, right?" Night Flight asked.
"Huh? I think I have mentioned it before. "Li Huailin nodded.
"But I thought that it wouldn't be good to borrow your troops for free. So, after discussing with your wife, we can rent some soldiers here," Night Flight said.
"Huh?" Li Huailin looked at Su Ruoyan, who was beside him. Su Ruoyan nodded, "Yes, isn't this good? Anyway, we need to spend gold coins to recuperate."
(What gold coins do you need to spend to raise an army?) Li Huailin couldn't help but complain in his heart. Of course, the soldiers of a fief would need to be supplied with food, weapons, and equipment. However, it was different for Li Huailin. After the first salary was paid, the loyalty of the soldiers plummeted. Of course, Li Huailin couldn't bear it and immediately stopped the second month's salary. As a result, when the salary was paid at the end of the month, the morale and loyalty of the soldiers in the fief skyrocketed. As a result, they inexplicably saved a lot of money. Other than the maintenance fees for the equipment and horses, almost all of Li Huailin's soldiers worked for free. They were no different from laborers.
Su Ruoyan, who was in charge of the fief's finances, definitely knew about this. Of course, Li Huailin couldn't expose her, so he nodded, "That's true. After all, raising an army is very expensive. You see, I can only afford to raise 5,000 soldiers. I can't handle any more."
"Is that so?" Night Flight naturally didn't suspect anything. How could there be such a good army if they worked without paying their salary? So, he nodded, "Although we are friends, these accounts have to be calculated clearly. So, this is considered business."
"Okay." Looking at Su Ruoyan next to him, Li Huailin nodded. My girlfriend is too awesome. She can even deduct a place to make money. Why didn't I think of it? She is indeed a professional. "Don't worry. Based on our relationship, we will definitely charge you the cost price. Uh, as for the specific price, you can discuss it with Ruoyan."
"We have already discussed this," said Su Ruoyan next to him.
"Discussed it?" Li Huailin asked, "Isn't it fine? Why did you call me back? You look so anxious."
"That's because we need guards now, but your wife said that you took the army away," said Night Flight.
"Huh? Now? "Li Huailin was a little taken aback. Indeed, he had taken the army away. Now, his private army was still burning, killing, and looting in the Demons' territory. They definitely couldn't come back. No wonder Su Ruoyan was looking for him. They were about to sign the contract, but in the end, they disappeared.
"What's the situation? Why do we need guards?" asked Li Huailin.
"Of course, it's our old rival. Kai Wang is getting restless again," said Night Flight with a smile.
"Why is it this guy again? Does he never stop jumping up and down?" Li Huailin facepalmed. "Doesn't he still owe you money? Shouldn't he be blocked by his creditors by now? "
"No, now they have paid off the debt," said Night Flight. "I guess the Gods have helped them get enough funds. I don't know where the Gods' funds came from. Not only can they support the construction of their territory, but they can also help the Spirit world …"
Li Huailin looked directly at Su Ruoyan next to him and then asked in a low voice, "Our side lent it out?"
"Yes," replied Su Ruoyan in a low voice.
"…" Li Huailin was speechless. My wife is too arrogant. Here, two major guilds are fighting, and then she borrows money from both sides to help them develop. After the two guilds develop, they fight again, and after the fight, they ask her to lend them money. She even helps to protect them, as if she is afraid that one of them will be accidentally killed. This is really … I have to earn money from both sides.
"What's wrong? Do you know where the Gods' funds come from? "asked Night Flight while looking at the two who were whispering to each other.
"Uh, I don't know." Li Huailin immediately said, "Where were we just now? By the way, the Spirit world has paid off the loan and then came out again? "
"Yes, now that the Spirit world has gotten the funds from who knows where, they have started to build their own guild territory, but the construction speed is very slow. At this speed, they won't be able to catch up. I suspect that they are planning to attack our territory." Said Night Flight. "If they break through our territory, they can instantly get a lot of funds and building materials, which means that they can complete their territory in an instant. Recently, Kai Wang and the others have stopped building their territory. This is very unusual. I guess they are planning to attack our territory again."
"Oh? That's a good idea. " Li Huailin nodded, then looked at Su Ruoyan next to him and said in a low voice again, "The Spirit world's money isn't something we lent out, right? Do they have the money to pay it back?"
"I don't know, but I don't know what the Gods are going to do with the 1,000,000 Gold Coins. Don't worry, they have the money. They can afford it, "continued Su Ruoyan in a low voice.
"…" Li Huailin directly facepalmed. This was all done by this fellow.
"Cough, cough." Night Flight gave a slight reminder, and Li Huailin immediately turned around. Night Flight continued, "In short, we estimate that the other side will make a move in the near future, so we want your troops to come to our side to watch. If anything happens, we can respond immediately."
"If it's the Spirit world, can't you guys deal with it?" Li Huailin asked.
"Our current Level 3 Guild Territory will need another four days to complete. Right now, our Guild Territory is at its weakest, so we are worried that the Spirit world will take advantage of this time to attack," said Night Flight.
Li Huailin did not understand, so he inquired about the specific situation. As it turned out, upgrading a Guild Territory was divided into five levels. From level 1 to level 5, a Guild Territory would grow larger. Of course, it would also grow stronger. The buildings and functions inside would also increase. However, upgrading a Guild Territory not only required sufficient materials, but also risks. For example, when the Spirit World upgraded its Territory to Level 3, it needed a total of five days to level up. During this time, the Guild Territory's walls needed to be torn down and rebuilt. Hence, during this period, the Guild Territory would not have any walls, making it extremely weak. During this period, the Guild Territory would be especially vulnerable to attacks.
Previously, if a Guild wished to attack another Guild's territory, it needed the local Lord's consent. If the Lord did not agree, the Guild could not occupy or destroy the other Guild's territory. However, they could plunder. Night Flight was not worried that Li Huailin would agree to the Spirit World's raid request. However, if the other side directly robbed them of their resources without their consent, they would not be able to accept it.
Of course, if they attacked without the Lord's consent, the Lord could use the excuse of protecting their vassals to mobilize their private army to help defend the Guild Territory in their territory. Hence, Night Flight had come to request for protection. As long as Li Huailin's powerful Cavalry was present, Night Flight was not worried that the Spirit World would attack them.
"Right now, the Gods and Lei Zhu's Guild Territories are both Level 2 Guild Territories. We are the first Guild to upgrade our Territory to Level 3. It seems like we are shooting the bird that pokes its head out. Right now, Lei Zhu's attitude is also ambiguous. He said that he needs manpower for the construction of his territory, but he has been refusing to help. Although the Gods did not say anything, they will definitely help the Spirit World. Hence, we can't find a reliable ally, so we can only look for you," Night Flight concluded.
"That's right." Li Huailin nodded. "However … it's a little troublesome."
"What's wrong?" Night Flight asked.
"Of course, it's about the troops." Li Huailin smiled a little awkwardly. Just as he was about to explain, Night Flight's expression suddenly changed. Then, it seemed like he had picked up a long-distance call.
Li Huailin did not disturb him. After a while, Night Flight finished talking about the long-distance call. His expression changed drastically. "Trouble, the other party has begun to move."
"What?" Li Huailin was shocked. "Now?"
"Yes, now." Night Flight nodded. "Our insider has already informed us. The Spirit World has begun to gather their people. I guess the Gods will not be watching. Huailin, how are things on your side?"
"Uh …" Li Huailin facepalmed. "This needs a little explanation …"
