Chapter 268 Mission: In the temporary residence in the military camp, Ivan summoned the main leadership of the mercenary group¡ªfour second-level mages, three second-level warriors, and Wolf Second¡ªtogether, and told them about himself decision. {Quickest text chapter reading} "Eradicate the small human troops lurking in the Bloody Necklace Mountains. This is a long-term military mission issued by the Demon Castle Military Department, and it is also the mission you will perform in the next period of time." "Specific combat plan , I won¡¯t say much. I believe that with Ollie¡¯s help, you can handle this level of battle with the seized crossbows. What I want to say is that in this mission, the small group of human troops will be wiped out. Obtaining military merit is only secondary. The main purpose is to explore the terrain in the Bloody Necklace Mountains and prepare for choosing our territory in the future. "Standing in front of everyone, Aiwen talked eloquently, and then collected a piece of information on the market. The most detailed topographic map around the Demon Castle was spread out on the table. His fingers slowly slid on the map, and he continuously clicked on more than ten pre-marked locations on it. Everyone present was staring at the map with all their concentration, and the four mages were particularly eager, because the territory matters directly related to the construction of the mage tower, and the establishment of the mage tower was related to the growth rate of their strength. . "Although these maps are the best that can be found on the market, the terrain recorded on them may not be completely accurate, so you must go through the places I marked, focusing on the areas near the Earth's Inner Sea. You must look carefully at the five locations. In the future, our territory will most likely be located near the Earth's Core Sea," Ivan said, tapping his finger heavily on a certain spot on the map. "Lord Baron, this kind of mission of wiping out human lurking troops can only gain military merit. Should we take on some more missions that can earn gold coins?" After everyone agreed, a mage suddenly asked boldly. The meaning hidden in this mage's words is obvious. No matter how well the military merit mission is done, the final reward can only be attributed to Ivan alone. Of course, there is no way. After all, military merit can only be used together. Only in this way can the maximum effect be achieved, but if more tasks can be done to obtain gold coins, then everyone will be rewarded. "I'm not prepared to take on this type of group mission." Ivan shook his head directly, but then added calmly, "But I don't object to you taking on some of these missions privately, as long as your personal missions do not contribute to military merit. As long as there is no impact on the mission." "No, no," everyone present was overjoyed and said one after another. Ai Wen's men are all poor people. Even if the mages among them make some core parts for Ai Wen's constructs and earn a little bit of wealth, they can't be placed in a place like Demon Castle that easily costs tens of thousands of gold coins. No different than a poor man. Seeing that these mages had no objections, Ai Wen nodded and said, "Okay, if nothing happens, then you can prepare separately. We will leave tomorrow. If you need anything, just come to me and I will be responsible for helping you solve it." So everyone quickly withdrew, summoned the subordinates assigned to them, and began to prepare their luggage. After officially transferring 210 soldiers to the Demon Castle Military Headquarters a few days ago, Ivan's team only had about 70 people left. They picked through the mercenary hall and found more than 20 lone mercenaries. We have just gathered a hundred people, which is comparable to the number of a single human infiltration force. ??For mercenaries who take on tasks alone in such a war-torn place, either no one can take them for various reasons, or no one wants them for various reasons. Newly registered mercenary groups like Ivan can only pinch their noses and select people to replenish the team among those lone mercenaries that no one wants. Fortunately, in this regard, Aiwen's talented physiognomy once again played a huge role. The lone mercenaries selected were all the best among this type of people, or they had some kind of special talent that could be used in the team with a little training. It can be said that the addition of more than twenty lone mercenaries has even raised the average strength level of Ivan's mercenary group. After raising a mercenary group, so far, apart from receiving a notice that he can only stay in the military camp for a month, Aiwen has not received any other requirements, so he can now freely choose tasks. In fact, this is also normal. No matter how capable the leadership is, the newly formed team will always be weak in combat effectiveness. According to Felipe's explanation, unless the Demon Castle military headquarters lacks cannon fodder for the minefields, even if the troops are insufficient, the force will be issued. The red recruitment order will only find those experienced and established mercenary groups, but it is impossible to find their heads. Therefore, for at least the next two years, Aiwen does not need to consider this issue at all. He only needs to concentrate on strengthening his own strength and power. This isIt is also the time that the top management of Demon Castle has tacitly agreed to leave for the development of new small forces like Ivan. There¡¯s no need to worry that the higher-ups will suddenly forcefully impose any tasks on themselves, and assign tasks such as earning military merit and exploring terrain. For the time being, Alvin only needs to think about how to make money. In Bone Prison City, Ivan felt that he could be considered a rich man. In Meister City, Ivan felt that he could still be considered a rich man. However, when he arrived at Demon Castle, Ivan realized that he could only be regarded as having just escaped from the proletariat. . In Demonic Castle, there are only two ways for mercenaries to make money, which is to do tasks or sell trophies. But for Ivan, he has one more option, which is to do business. The twenty to thirty thousand gold coins in hand can be directly It would be too wasteful to exchange it for a piece of knighthood. You can use it as capital for business transactions first. Ivan feels that he has always been the type of person who regards money as dirt. Accumulating dung in your hands will only stink and attract the prying eyes of wild dogs, but spreading it is different. As long as you spread it well, you will get a bumper harvest. After wandering around the Demon Castle for a few days, Ivan I discovered an interesting phenomenon. The business in Demon Castle is actually not rich and not active. It is only because we are on the battlefield and the demand for various weapons and equipment is huge that a abnormal prosperity has spawned in Demon Castle. The evidence is simple. Apart from the sale and purchase of weapons and equipment, there are extremely few commercial activities related to service enjoyment in the Demon Castle. Even another material that was as important as weapons and equipment had very few sellers and was extremely expensive. That material was food. After inquiring about the news, Ivan knew the reason. In fact, the reason for all this was very simple. The armies of demons and humans were fighting everywhere on the Gray Plain, so that the Gray Plain, which covers an area of ??more than 300,000 square kilometers, was everywhere. Tens of thousands of territories are almost in flames of war, and most of the territories are unable to carry out normal production activities. Only a few heavily guarded areas, such as a few territories around the Demon Castle, can successfully produce food. The food produced is not even enough to fill the bellies of the free mercenaries. Fortunately, the Demon God's Castle official not only did not purchase part of this pitiful output as military rations, but also opened a food exchange project in the mission hall. Although the price was a bit low, at least it did not cause famine in the Demon God's Castle. Although the Devil's Castle does not officially restrict commercial activities, there is no excess local output. All materials required for commercial activities basically have to be transported from far behind. Along the way, bandits, bullies, beasts, and human infiltration The cost of transporting troops to Demon God's Castle has suddenly increased to an astonishing level. You will be considered a business wizard no matter what. Ai Wen doesn¡¯t have a lot of supplies to buy or sell, but he has a small world, and food is produced for free in the small world. Aiwen¡¯s food business in Demon Castle is completely profitable. It doesn't take much money to buy a store. The total cost of all the expenses is 10,000 gold coins. The only thing that needs to be worried is that there must be a reasonable explanation for the source of the food. Demon God's Castle can openly announce to the outside world that the food they exchange is the product of the small world or demiplane, but Aiwen cannot. Now the weekly harvest in the small world is enough to feed and drink more than two hundred people. It will not attract attention in the short term, but as time goes by and the quantity accumulates, it will inevitably arouse suspicion from others. "The source of food can be explained by bringing excess military rations from the rear in the early stage, or you can exchange some from the mission hall as a cover. In the later stage, it depends on whether your territory can be obtained as soon as possible. Without a territory as a backing, No matter what business you do, it will arouse others' suspicion after a long time." Ai Wen thought to himself. Now in the small world, in addition to potions and food, there is actually a slight surplus of small world source power that has reached a daily output of more than 1,700 units. However, it is a bit sensitive to take out this special product of the small world. Ivan can't guarantee that someone with a heart will not see the way out at a glance. "Ideally, when opening a tavern for catering business, the daily income is only a few hundred gold coins at most. Although it is not possible to accumulate wealth quickly, it is better to be stable and steady. This is the normal state of all commercial activities." Because the location has already been surveyed. Because of this, Aiwen quickly bought a five-story building covering an area of ??more than 400 square meters. He lived upstairs and had a ready-made store downstairs. With a little decoration, it could be used as a tavern. Ivan has made up his mind to run this tavern as his stronghold in the Demon Castle. Anyway, he is also engaged in a monopoly catering business in the Bone Prison City. The benefits that can be obtained and the things that need to be paid attention to in this aspect of the business are all It can be considered as a profound understanding. The renovation plan for the tavern in Bone Prison CityHe copied it immediately and threw it to the invited construction team. Ivan left Supervisor Xiong behind and took his guards to the Nest Tower. According to the news Ivan had learned these days, it was the only place in the Demon Castle. A place where soul fragments can be purchased without restrictions, and it is also the only place in Demon Castle where little devils can be sold without restrictions. Because of the existence of the Nest Tower, the slave unions in almost every corner of the underground world have only left a small service point in the Demon Castle, which only collects information and does not have any slave trading activities. ¡¡¡¡¡ It¡¯s a catch up on last night¡¯s update Chapter 268 Mission Chapter 268 Mission, go to the website
