"City lord, we are here to seek cooperation."

Ji Lin sat in front of the city lord. He asked the city lord to change his clothes, and then sat back in the chair that belonged to him in his own city lord's mansion. Ji Lin pulled a chair and sat directly opposite him. The fat city lord moved uneasily on the big red soft chair that could accommodate his body.

There were only him, Changheng, Chongshan, two confidants, and the city lord in this room.

Jiang Na... Let her not get too involved in these dirty deals.

The city lord was very smart. After all, those who could survive in this gap would die if they were not smart. He instantly realized the intention of the commander in front of him to "invite" him here.

He was sure that the other party needed him, but the cold touch of the black gun muzzle against his forehead made his faith waver.

Ji Lin kept putting pressure on him.

"You, you said..."

"Look, the city lord is too nervous."

Ji Lin smiled and waved to let Chang Heng, who was pointing a gun at the city lord, stand aside. The blood on Chang Heng's body from the fight had not been wiped off, and the red and black military uniform made him look more like a killing god.

"Some people in Seta who intended to rebel launched an attack on Vika's troops. Do you have any clues about this matter, city lord?"

Ji Lin emphasized the word "rebellion", meaning that this place was about to be taken over by Vika. If you don't obey, you will be sent to hell one by one when the large army arrives. And forced the city lord to hand over a letter of surrender that satisfied him.

He started to talk nonsense, not caring whether the city lord believed it or not, these were just some small preparations before he really started to negotiate.

Negotiation is an art.

It was unrealistic for him and these hundreds of people to take over the entire Seta Industrial State with hundreds of thousands of people, complicated business systems, and government structures.

Just dealing with the bureaucracy would waste a lot of his time.

There must be someone who is familiar with the city and willing to cooperate with him.

The city lord in front of him is a good candidate.

"No, no! Absolutely not, those rebels are so hateful! I am willing to help the Kingdom of Vika find these rebels hiding in our city!"

The city lord gritted his teeth, and sweat dripped from his face, as if the attackers had just killed him and only one page of his household registration book was left. The muzzle of the gun was no longer aimed at him, but the hands were tightly grasping the handles on both sides of the seat, as if they were trying to crush them.

"Then, we can discuss it easily. For the safety of the city lord, I have arranged a team of musketeers for you to be responsible for the safety of the city lord's mansion, and also arranged an assistant to help you with your work." Ji Lin waved and an officer who looked older than the others came out and stood in front of him: "This is Chongshan, I hope you can work happily together."

Chongshan stretched out his hand, and the city lord shook hands with him with a fake smile.

"It's a pleasure to work together."

"Oh, by the way, I'll keep your account book for you, your housekeeper is still not tough enough. Also, Lord City, I don't think you will play tricks. My tolerance has its limits. There are more people willing to cooperate with us than you think. If you still want to continue to live a comfortable life now, just cooperate honestly."

Ji Lin left this sentence before leaving, which made the city lord, who had been able to hold his face tight before, look ashen at this moment, and his eyes stared at the door.

"Lord City, it's an honor to be your deputy."

Chongshan picked up a piece of paper, which was full of Ji Lin's needs just now.

A garrison that can accommodate a thousand people, a hospital for treating wounded soldiers, the city lord's mansion is responsible for the maintenance of the army, and a factory in the territory is taken over to provide logistical services for the army. Nearly ten items are listed.

"Let's discuss how to solve the practical problems?"

He said with a smile.

The next morning, the sun rose as usual.

The city was peaceful as if there was no battle.

The mercenaries heard the news that the city lord was ambushed by the advance team, and they wanted to rush in to rescue the city lord in anger. This was not because they cared about the city lord, but because they cared about their own rewards. The city lord took the reward to appease them and emphasized that the matter was over.

And brought the information that they would be hired if they needed their help in the future.

But the butler did not mention the spoils of war.

Ji Lin didn't want to provoke those mercenaries for the time being. It was a bit difficult to maintain the city's security with a hundred people, not to mention dealing with mercenaries who would shoot cold guns at you. The money given to them was taken out of the city lord's treasury, and he didn't have to pay.

If money can solve the problem, it's not a problem.

It's fun to spend money that doesn't belong to you and do your own things.

If he wants to take over the city, he must compromise in some aspects. It's too unsafe to make enemies.

And speaking of enemies, he is not very hostile to these mercenaries. If they hadn't attacked at night, he wouldn't have been so smooth to get the leadership of the entire advance team.

The previous leadership was all dead.

When the mercenaries evacuated, he sent the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, rescue the wounded, and pack up the equipment and bring it back to Seta City. He even drew a picture of a stretcher and asked them to find a tailor shop in the city to make one and have the soldiers carry the people back.

A week passed, and the city continued to operate steadily as if it had not changed its flag.

The city lord directly vacated the camp of the city guards. Although they are called city guards, they are actually just disguised policemen. There are a total of 100 guns that are used in turn. They are mainly responsible for guarding the city walls and patrolling. The training level can only be said to be in line with the level of the time.

A simple comment is Fenglinhuoshan.

Retreat and turn are as fast as the wind, and outflanking is as slow as the forest. Looting money and invading like fire, friendly forces are as immovable as a mountain when they are in trouble.

These original city guards were not recruited by Ji Lin, but directly dismissed and let them go back to their homes. No wonder the city lord wants to hire mercenaries. These guards who only know how to eat are useless. After all, Seta is a free city-state in the cracks, where there are all kinds of people, and it is not enough to recruit some policemen.

What's more amazing is that after he replaced the city guards with a nine-man Vika musketeer squad to patrol, the public security situation in the entire city can be said to be completely renewed.

No one is blind enough to provoke these musketeers, they really know how to shoot.

What kind of looting, smashing, burning, and collecting protection fees, street hooligans can't be beaten by the butt of a gun, and they will be honest after two hits.

In order to reduce the negative emotions of the people in the city towards them, Ji Lin ordered Shen not to fight, and absolutely not to burn, kill, and rob. Violators will be punished by military law. He gave ideological education to the soldiers every day, told them the consequences of burning, killing, and looting, and gave them money.

Of course, the money came from the city lord's treasury, and he had no money to find.

The clinic in the city was overwhelmed by nearly 800 wounded soldiers. The wound treatment system in this dungeon was really terrible. He counted more than 100 soldiers who were wounded in the battle, which was one-tenth of the total number. Ji Lin had no choice but to hold back his tears and take a little money from the city lord's treasury to find a hotel to be temporarily converted into a hospital for these soldiers to recuperate. He now wanted to add as many soldiers as possible.

Not only was he busy with the affairs in the dungeon, he also took time to see how his territory was developing.

A lord was willing to sell him a ranch for 150 gold mines, so he immediately chose to buy it, and then took a photo of the ranch next to the hunting spider, so that he could start cultivating the hunting spider troops to fight for him in the future.

Chongshan has been upgraded.

After seven days of management, Chongshan was finally promoted from a first-level official to a second-level official, and his characteristics remained unchanged.

After being busy with many things, he was almost exhausted in the city lord's mansion.

His eyes were staring at the sky.

He really wanted to be an emperor like other lords.

And next week he will have to solve the factory problem. As an industrial state that relies on large blue crystal veins to make a fortune, Seta is famous for its cheap energy. These cheap energy sources have prompted a large number of steam factories and research institutes to take root here. The weapons and equipment used to fight them were all provided by the local enterprises reluctantly under the threat of the city lord.

Steam machine soldiers and steam mortars.

After he completed the basic configuration, he should go to meet these local snakes.

At this level of completion, he should be able to get musketeers.
