After enjoying the sumptuous dishes, all four of them were full of food, and they were still unsatisfied.

It just so happened that the kobold troops had returned, bringing back seven people in addition to the goods.

The seven people survived, four of them were members of the four-star grass mercenary group, and the other three were members of the caravan.

The members of the Four Star Grass were all ashamed when they saw the head of the group, and honestly stood aside and kept silent.

Because this is a mercenary group that has just been established, these people have just joined. So out of distrust of the regiment commander, coupled with the pressure of the Otra Dilong, he made the wrong choice. Now that I have been rescued here, I regret it very much.

The members of the three caravans cried over their leader, and informed them that one of the horses had been lost in the panic and that their goods would not be recovered.

Matru was heartbroken to death, but he still comforted them with a pretended not to care, saying that it would be good for some people to come back.

"So, what's your plan next?" Jia Zhengjin asked after they had identified the survivors, and Matru had counted the goods.

"Lord Keane, thank you for your hospitality!" said Phyllis, the head of the regiment, "Although our four-star grass mercenary regiment has lost its troops, there are only seven people left. But we will still resolutely carry out the mission and escort the caravan back to the Beit Empire! This is the first mission of our mercenary group, and we must do our best to complete it!"

"Ambitious, very good!" Jia Zhengjin nodded in praise.

"Master Keane, from our standpoint, we can't say anything about the next battle between you and the City of Light. After all, Phyllis is a mercenary of the City of Light, "I can only wish you good luck!"

"Don't worry, I didn't take it to heart. Jia Zhengjin waved his hand and looked at Matru, "Old horse!"

"Master Keane, I'm Matru, not an old horse!" Matru protested.

"Okay old horse!" Jia Zhengjin nodded and said, "When are you going to leave?"

"Of course I hope the sooner the better," Matru sighed, "but now that the horses that were bought at a high price before the departure have almost been killed by the Ortra Disaurus, and there are not enough men to men! I wonder if Lord Keane can give me some villagers to help fight the goods?"

"The villagers can't do it!" Jia Zhengjin shook his head, "Why don't I rent you some kobolds?" Don't look at their small size and great strength! And their combat effectiveness is not weak, and they can be used as bodyguards on the road when they are armed!"

"Kobold?" Matru remembered the heavily armed army of kobolds, and his eyes suddenly sparkled, "Yes, yes, yes! Lord Keane, what kind of lease is this kobold?"

"5 gold coins per kobold per day, and you need to pay a month's deposit upfront. You don't need to compensate for the kobold's death, but you need to return all the equipment and weapons to me!" Jia Zhengjin thought for a while and said.

"Oh my God!!Lord Keane, you're too dark~~" Matru suddenly raised his hands and said on his back, "The goddess of fairness is above, and she will definitely blame you!"

"I don't believe her, what are you afraid of?" Jia Zhengjin said with a smile.

"......" Matru was speechless, thought for a moment and said, "Lord Keane, how about 5 gold coins per kobold per month?"

"Damn, are you darker than me?" Jia Zhengjin hurriedly shook his head, "This is impossible!

"The goddess of fairness will shed tears!" Matru argued, "How about three gold coins in 5 days?"

"It won't hurt if you pinch it a few more times!" Jia Zhengjin said, "2 gold coins per person every day, it can't be lower! If you hire more than 20, I'll give you a 9% discount!"

"No, no, no! The goddess of fairness will shake her head. Matru hurriedly said, "Give in at last, 1 gold coin per day!" I'll hire 20 kobolds, and Master Keane will give me a 50% discount!"

"You want to be blind!" Jia Zhengjin said busily, "It's okay to get 1 gold coin per person every day, but if you hire 20 kobolds, I can only give you a 20% discount!"

"Fair Goddess ......"

"Tell me about the goddess of fairness again, and I'll scold her for being nosy!"

"Uh~~ Lord Keane, don't blaspheme!" Matrou's face was full of black lines, "In that case, you can give me a seven-percent discount, right? If it doesn't work, I won't rent it!"

"Deal!" the two finally negotiated a price, and Matru leased 20 kobold soldiers, all of whom were in full sets of iron armor and holding iron spears.

"It's all warriors, it seems a little unstable, do you want to rent another 20 kobold crossbowmen?" Jia Zhengjin said.

"Forget it! enough for the time being!" Matru was already in heartache to death, and of course it was impossible to ask for it again.

Jia Zhengjin laughed, he actually didn't care about these at all. It's just fun to bargain with him, in fact, even if you let the kobold escort him back for free, it's not impossible, anyway, these kobolds hire themselves and the price is cheap to death. And without cannon fodder with IQ, it won't hurt if you die.

What he was thinking about now was whether there was a problem with these kobolds staying away from the den. After leaving, do they still count as the upper limit of the nest **?

Having rented a kobold, the next step is to find a way to buy some new horses to carry the goods. So Matru turned his gaze to Jia Zhengjin again: "Lord Keen, do you have anyone here who can domesticate ordinary horses or horses, or even make any vehicles?

"You have one such person in front of you," Jia Zhengjin stretched out his hand to himself, "and mine is even more advanced!"

"Oh, what a high-level law?" Matru immediately became interested.

"I can use these ready-made horses and train them into magical vehicles with spatial capabilities! Such a horse can carry the equivalent of five to ten horses before! However, this method is relatively costly, and you need to pay me 500 gold coins for each time you help you cultivate such a space-type horse!"

"500 gold coins!!!The Goddess of Justice will cry loudly!" Matru shook her head vigorously, "Is there any other way?"

"Yes, I can help you raise ordinary horses, but each horse sells for 10 gold coins!" Jia Zhengjin said, raising his right hand and spreading his five fingers.

"Oh my God, Lord Keen, you should change careers and become a merchant!" Matru's eyes widened, "In the Bright City Horse Market, the most expensive horse is only 5 gold coins!"

"Then you can go back to Guangming City and buy a horse and come back!" Jia Zhengjin said with a smile.

"You're too good at business!" said Matrou, who struggled for a while, gritted his teeth, "Okay, then I'll buy fifteen ordinary horses, can I deliver them now?"

"Fifteen horses, they will arrive tomorrow morning. Jia Zhengjin said, "It's better for everyone to stay tonight and have a good rest." ”

"It's fine!" Matru thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

When the people were arranged into a few simple empty houses that had just been built by craftsmen, Jia Zhengjin called Wolf and Buddy: "Bring the troops, let's go out and grab the horses!"
