Lord of the Nation: My talent is 100 million points strong

Chapter 72 The three major forces in the city
Lei Xiao's next itinerary is to find Kunbu, the president of the Kongqing Town Chamber of Commerce, whom he accidentally rescued in the forest a few days ago.

Lei Xiao clearly understood that without that guy, he would not have been able to obtain information about the Shadow Forest where the territory is located and the surrounding areas so quickly.

The most critical thing is the important information that the two Terran nations are at war.

Of course, there are also the second-order potion Qi Condensation Pill and the car light spar that the other party lost.

With this level of relationship, Kumbu is naturally the first choice for breakthrough if he wants to learn more about the detailed information and power distribution of Kongqing Town.

Since Kumbu is well-known among the surrounding merchants, Lei Xiao and Hu Zhang came to a shop named "Song of the Nightingale" after a simple inquiry without much effort.

Although the scale of this shop is far smaller than that of the Shanglu Trade Fair just now, it is also the most eye-catching and grand one among the surrounding shops.

"Let's go in." Lei Xiao nodded to the knotweed, and took the first step.

"Welcome to Song of the Nightingale!"

As soon as he entered the door, a young man in his 20s greeted him immediately.

I saw him politely speaking to Lei Xiao and Polygonum cuspidatum in a voice as familiar as it is precious: "This shop mainly deals in all kinds of top knitwear, aromatherapy and glass products, which can be wholesaled or retailed, and also provide professional private customization. Please two Guests are free to choose.”

"We're not here to buy things. Is your boss here?"

Lei Xiao waved his hand and went straight to the topic.

"Who is looking for me?"

Before the young man could reply, a middle-aged man with a big belly and a brocade robe came out from the back room of the spacious shop.

Needless to say, it was Kumbu who came.

When he got closer, the middle-aged businessman looked up and down the disguised Lei Xiao and Knotweed, his greasy face was full of doubts: "Do you two know me?"

Looking at the suspicious fat face of the other party, Lei Xiao smiled faintly, but took off the hood on the illusion cloak, and the original appearance was immediately revealed in front of Kunbu's eyes.

"It turns out that you are here, my lord! Come on, please come inside!"

Kunbu immediately recognized Lei Xiao who had saved his life in the Shadow Forest and sent someone to escort him all the time, and he was both surprised and happy.

Of course, the main reason why this middle-aged businessman was so enthusiastic was because of the aristocratic status that Lei Xiao let Nan Xing inadvertently reveal at that time.

The aristocratic son who is guarded by a master is obviously a commoner businessman like Kumbu who has a little money but yearns for power more, and is eager to make friends with a big man.

Respectfully let Lei Xiao and Polygonum cuspidatum into the richly decorated reception room in the back room.

While pouring tea carefully with an exquisite glass teapot, Kunbu seemed to inadvertently ask Lei Xiao, "I wonder if the lord has made a special trip to visit the villain today. What is your order?"

"Your Excellency, you are being polite. It is not an order, but I have a lot of money recently. I want to see how the overall environment of this town is. If possible, I would like to do a small business here."

Lei Xiao still maintained a faint smile, and responded with the words he had already prepared: "Because I am always conservative, and I never fight unprepared battles, especially the overall safety factor and guarding of the city. It is an important criterion for consideration, so please give me some pointers."

"My lord, you are asking the right person! I have to say, I really admire your unique insight!"

Kumbu's eyes lit up, knowing that his chance to perform had come.

I saw him rubbing his hands excitedly, and at the same time he quickly started to introduce it endlessly.

"To be honest, my lord, in fact, the size and strength of this Kongqing town have already reached the standard of a small city."

"It's just that the current city lord is afraid of paying more taxes to the royal family, so the change has not been made for a long time."

"As for the security situation in the city, you can rest assured that there are more than 2000 people in the garrison directly under the city lord alone."

"Under the Lord City Lord's command, there are several third-tier powerhouses with extraordinary strength, including the City Lord himself, who is also..."

Through Kunbu's detailed description, Lei Xiao learned about it.

The military strength of this empty green town can be said to be extremely impressive.

First of all, the city lord himself is a third-tier nine-star powerhouse.

It seems that the breath of the third-order peak powerhouse in the center of the city that the knotweed felt when he first entered the city is undoubtedly the city lord himself.

Secondly, under the city lord, there are three loyal third-tier powerhouses.

One of them is in charge of the city defense standing army of about 2000 people, basically composed of first-level soldiers.

The other one is in charge of the city lord's personal guard consisting of elite second-tier soldiers, with a scale of about 100 people.

As for the last one, he has brought another 1000 standing army and has been recruited to the battlefield on the border of the kingdom.

"In this way, let's not talk about the third-tier powerhouse who was recruited and the 1000 first-tier soldiers."

"Currently, the main defensive force in the city is composed of 3 Tier 100 powerhouses, 2000 Tier [-] powerhouses, and [-] Tier [-] soldiers, including the city lord himself..."

After listening to the middle-aged businessman's introduction, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

"My lord, besides these regular troops, there are two other important forces in the city."

I saw Kunbu refilling Lei Xiao's tea while continuing to say, "That's the major mercenary regiments and the Merchant Fair."

"Oh? The Shanglu Fair is also one of them?"

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in surprise.

"It seems that adults already know something about Shanglu Fair."

Kunbu put down the exquisite glass teapot, nodded and said: "The Shanglu family, one of the wealthy families in the kingdom, has two third-tier powerhouses sitting in this business in Kongqing Town. There are nearly a hundred guards at home."

"As for the two third-tier powerhouses, one is the president himself, and the other is the chief appraiser, Master Fang Hai."

After a pause, Kunbu added another sentence: "It is said that the president of the trade fair in Kongqing Town belongs to the collateral branch of the Shanglu family and is not very popular with the family, so he was assigned to such a remote place as Kongqing Town .”

"understood."

Lei Xiao nodded, and asked with frowned eyebrows: "What about the other mercenary force?"

"If you go back to your lord, the mercenary forces in the city are a bit complicated."

Kunbu took a sip of the steaming black tea and continued to introduce it.

"There are a total of more than 1000 mercenaries in the city. Among them, some of the mercenaries headed by the Blood Scorpion Mercenary Group are about 200 people, and they wear the same pants as the city owner."

"When the garrison army is inconvenient to show up, these people are often the ones who do dirty work for the city lord."

"With the support of the city lord, and the head of the blood scorpion mercenary group, he is a long-established third-tier senior powerhouse. These people are usually domineering in the city, and everyone dares to be angry. Word."

Kumbu sighed softly, and immediately pouted his head, and added: "By the way, the villain just heard that Shui Mang, the deputy head of the Blood Scorpion, seemed to be poisoned by some inexplicable food..."

"Maybe it's retribution."

Shaking his head dumbfounded, Lei Xiao had sharp eyes, and asked Kunbu again: "Could it be that the city lord's reputation is not very good?"
