They had seen Link's strength before and knew that he was no ordinary person.

His ability was definitely above the gold level, and he might even be a stronger person at a higher level. Having him by their side would undoubtedly be a great help to them.

Without further ado, Ottovia immediately let the guards lead the group through a depressed residential area.

The houses here were dilapidated, and many of them were deserted, leaving only empty rooms and messy floors. The footsteps of a group of people echoed in the quiet street, which was particularly harsh.

Finally, they arrived at the most magnificent mansion in the center of the town.

Although the mansion has suffered varying degrees of damage, it still stands out compared to the surrounding buildings.

This is the mayor's palace of Mislina City, once a symbol of power and glory.

After sending a servant to lead Link and others into the living room of the mansion to rest for a while, Octovia and Isabel immediately followed the butler to visit Count George who was seriously injured in the attack.

Count George is the lord of Mislina and their relative.

After a while, Octavia, wearing a crimson dress, slowly came into the living room. Her face was still pale, and her eyes were filled with deep worry.

"How is it, City Lord George, is he okay?" Link asked with concern.

"The situation...is not optimistic." Octovia sighed, her voice a little low, "I heard from the housekeeper that he was poisoned by a very strong poison. Many priests have been invited to treat him, but the poison remains in his body and there is no way to remove it. Healing magic can only play a mitigating role..."

At this point, Octovia's eyes became red again.

She tried hard to hold back her tears and continued, "And I'm very sorry, Mr. Link. Previously, due to some reasons, many chambers of commerce that had cooperated with the City Lord's Mansion suddenly withdrew their investment. I just found out that the City Lord's Mansion is now in financial deficit and cannot give you the compensation you promised in advance. I hope you can understand that when this crisis is over, I will definitely..."

"Did the cooperating Chamber of Commerce suddenly withdraw its investment?" Link narrowed his eyes and pondered in his heart.

Judging from the information revealed by the traitorous knight, this should be the work of Motdila, the pig-headed man. He is obviously controlling everything in secret, trying to overthrow the rule of Mislina City.

"As for the poison..." Link pondered for a moment, and came up with an idea. Maybe the purification skill could solve it. However...

Isn't this a good opportunity? A city is in my hands, why not...

Link knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, a chance for him to stand out in this alien world and realize his ambitions.

Use the city of Mislina as a bridgehead for the StarCraft soldiers, develop it, and then radiate to the surrounding areas!

"Let's talk about the reward later."

Link smiled slightly, appearing quite open-minded. "In the future, well, for now, please arrange accommodation for us in the mansion. The people I brought with me are mostly at the silver and gold level, so it should be no problem for them to protect you and Miss Isabel. As for the bandit troubles around us, I will try to find a way to solve them when the opportunity arises."

"Yes! Thank you very much for your generous help, Mr. Link!"

Octavia said excitedly. She knew very well that they were lucky to meet someone like Link at this critical moment.

As the hostess of the mansion, Octovia quickly arranged rooms for Link and his party to live in.

She had full trust in Link and the others. After all, if they were enemies, there would be no need for Link to rescue her and Isabel in the first place.

Of course, as a chain to maintain trust, Octovia also sent people to verify Link's true identity.

After leaving Ashaji and her group at the mansion to look after the house, Link left the mansion alone and began to wander around the city of Mislina.

He knew very well that if he wanted to truly understand the actual situation of the city, it was not enough to just listen to what others said, he had to see it with his own eyes and hear it with his own ears.

More than two hours later, Link returned to the same place.

There was a solemn and thoughtful look on his face, and it was obvious that he had discovered a lot of problems during this period of time.

After some inquiries, Link learned that not long ago, a group of robbers came to attack the city of Mislina.

Those robbers were powerful and numerous, and they brought great damage to the city.

The damage to the city wall was caused by continuous magic attacks. Now, not only is the city wall seriously damaged, but there are also very few guards guarding the city!

After walking around the entire city, Link even felt that there were less than fifty guards guarding the city!

These guards all looked tired and their morale was low. It was obvious that they were no longer able to defend the city.

Did he escape? Or did he die in battle? Link had no way of knowing. But in any case, this meant that the defense of Mislina City had become extremely weak.

Not only that, the citizens in the city had an even harder life.

Several major chambers of commerce in charge of the city's construction and economy suddenly withdrew their investments and moved out of Mislina City, which not only brought huge financial pressure to the City Lord's Mansion, but also put the citizens in a dilemma of having money but not being able to buy food.

Many shops have closed down and the streets are filled with the shadow of hunger and poverty.

Coupled with the looting of robbers and the constant threat of war, under internal and external troubles, many residents of Mislina who originally had the means sold their properties and chose to live in other cities.

Most of the people who remain in Mislina are the elderly, women and children, as well as some farmers who have few assets and rely mainly on farming for a living.

They struggled hard in this barren land, not knowing what fate would await them tomorrow.

The land in the north is barren and lacks resources.

If this situation continues for a long time, even without the robbers' active attacks, riots may break out in the city of Mislina in a short time.

By that time, with internal and external troubles intertwined, it is possible that the city will fall without being attacked.

Link pondered for a while and made up his mind. He looked up into the distance with a determined light in his eyes.

Afterwards, he came to a secluded and deserted place in the suburbs and contacted the StarCraft command center which was still in the mountains.

"It's time for you to come out." Link whispered, his voice echoing in the silent night sky, "Mislina City will be the starting point of my rise in this alien world!"

After saying this, he began to dispatch troops.

100 machine gunners and 15 SCVs were quickly assembled and prepared to board transport planes to the city of Mislina.

These machine gunners are well-trained and well-equipped, and their strength is comparable to that of silver-level adventurers. SCVs are excellent engineers and builders, and they can quickly repair damaged facilities in the city and contribute to the reconstruction of Mislina.

Not long after, several transport planes and Viking fighter planes arrived above the city of Mislina. They circled in the air, making a loud roar, attracting the residents of the city to look up.

"The 80 of you will be responsible for taking over the defense of the city and monitoring the movements in Mislina." Link gave the machine gunners an order, "Report any unusual movements to me immediately."

"Yes, Commander!" After the machine gunners bowed slightly to Link, they quickly dispersed and began to deploy defenses in various places in the city.

Their actions were swift and orderly, and they soon took control of the city's defense system.

Link looked at the backs of the machine gunners as they left, his heart full of anticipation.

He knew that the arrival of these machine gunners would bring great changes to Mislina. He then turned his attention back to this dilapidated city that was in imminent danger. Now with the help of these 100 machine gunners and 15 SCVs, can this once glorious city be rejuvenated?

How about trying modern construction in another world?

......

The sudden appearance of 100 machine gunners and their quick and decisive takeover of the city's defense undoubtedly brought unprecedented panic and shock to the guards who were originally stationed there.

The guards looked at each other, their hearts filled with anxiety and confusion, not knowing what this sudden change meant.

However, this confusion did not last long.

In the city lord's mansion, Ottovia decisively issued an order: all guards must unconditionally cooperate with these machine gunners to jointly build a solid defense line for the city of Mislina.

Ottovia's decisiveness and courage gradually stabilized the originally chaotic situation.

Ottovia knew very well that the current situation did not allow for any hesitation or delay.

She seemed to have seen through everything and understood that only by relying on Link could she lead them through this crisis.

Therefore, she handed over the power of defending Mislina City to Link without reservation, and she stepped back behind the scenes and supported silently.

After Link took over the task, he immediately launched a series of actions.

He not only carefully planned the city's defense strategy, but also keenly realized the importance of personnel replenishment. In order to strengthen the city's defense, he decisively ordered the extensive recruitment of guards in the town.

However, recruiting guards requires a lot of money, and the City Lord's Mansion is already stretched to the limit.

Faced with this problem, Link showed his extraordinary business acumen. He asked Ashaji to collect the glass bottles left after drinking Lao Baigan and take them to the vendors in the market to sell.

In this era when technology was not yet developed, these glass bottles were undoubtedly regarded as rare glassware, and each one could be sold at a high price, even for a few or even dozens of gold coins.

Link's move has solved the problem of funding shortage.

Of course, he already had a longer-term plan in mind. The funds obtained from the sale of glass bottles would eventually be recorded in the City Lord's Mansion's account in various ways until it was completely emptied and became the solid foundation for Link to control the city.

With the steady implementation of a series of plans, Link is gradually turning the city of Mislina into his own territory.

Soon, a message was posted on the bulletin wall in the center of Mislina City.

140. Have some fun

On the bulletin board, the newly posted parchment scroll swayed gently in the breeze, as if carrying some irresistible magic, instantly attracting the curious eyes of the people around.

People gathered around, pushing and shoving each other, vying to get a quick look.

However, when their eyes fell on the densely packed text, most people showed confusion and bewilderment on their faces, and only a few people frowned, trying to decipher something from between the lines.

"Hey! Who here can read? Please read to us what is written on it. Are they going to increase taxes again? Or is the city lord going to abandon the city and flee?"

A rough voice sounded among the crowd, full of anxiety and uneasiness.

Indeed, in this small town, not many people can read. The pressure of life makes people busy and exhausted, and even three meals a day are difficult to guarantee. How can they have the leisure to learn those seemingly useless characters?

Just then, an old man who looked to be in his fifties or sixties slowly walked out of the crowd.

He was dressed simply, but his eyes revealed a bit of wisdom and calmness. The old man slowly walked to the bulletin board, squinted his eyes, and carefully examined the contents of the parchment scroll.

"A month... 60 silver coins?" the old man muttered to himself. Although his voice was soft, it was loud enough for people around to hear clearly.

"What? 60 silver coins? Old sir, please tell me what is written on it? We are all waiting to hear it!" a young man urged anxiously.

The old man coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and then read aloud: "The City Lord's Mansion is now recruiting experienced hunters between the ages of 16 and 30, limited to 50 people. After passing the interview, the monthly salary can reach 60 silver coins..."

As the old man read aloud, the noise in the crowd gradually died down, replaced by waves of gasps. When the old man read out "the monthly salary can be 60 silver coins", the crowd burst into an exclamation of disbelief.

"This... This can't be fake, right? As long as you are strong, you can earn 50 silver coins a month?"

"Yeah, an experienced hunter can actually earn 10 more, 60 silver coins a month, that's incredible!"

"When we were recruiting soldiers before, wasn't the monthly salary only 30 silver coins? Why has it increased so much now?"

People were talking about it, their faces full of surprise and confusion. In this world, the monthly salary of ordinary jobs was mostly between 15 and 20 silver coins, and even if you joined the army, you could only get a salary of about 40 silver coins.

But now, the monthly salary offered by the City Lord's Mansion for conscription is as high as 50 silver coins, or even more, which is undoubtedly a huge temptation.

Link, standing on the top of a tall building in the distance, had a satisfied smile on his face.

He looked at the agitated crowd in the square and thought to himself: "With a lot of money, there will always be brave men. As long as the salary is attractive enough, there will be no problem in recruiting people."

Link knew very well that strength was the foundation for maintaining a regime.

Without a strong army, everything is just empty talk.

Now, with the news of conscription spreading, I believe more fresh blood will be injected into the army soon.

As for setting the recruitment time three days later, Link also had his own considerations.

There can't be no spies for that gang in this city.

Now that the news of recruiting soldiers has been released, he wants to see whether the gang of robbers will be unable to hold back during these three days and choose to launch another attack before the military strength of Mislina City is increased.

"100 machine gunners, waiting for battle to prove their strength." Link muttered to himself, with a cold light in his eyes.

......

Back at the mansion, Link originally wanted to find Ashaji and Violena and do something else that would please everyone.

But when he passed Ingrid's room, he heard faint suppressed moans from inside. In fact, the room was not closed tightly, and the door was ajar...

"This guy, could it be..."

Link peeked in through the crack in the door and saw Ingrid sitting naked on the bed. She took out a hot towel from the wooden basin and wiped her plump and attractive body with one hand. She made seductive movements and her lipstick-painted little mouth made seductive moans...

swallow...

Link swallowed with some difficulty.

Ingrid's figure is definitely not inferior to Ashaji and the others. She is 180cm tall. The measurements of a normal woman are about 96/66/102 cm, while Ingrid's are 116/60/92 cm. She has a thinner waist and bigger breasts. Just thinking about it makes you feel very nice.

Link couldn't help but push the door open and walked in, closing it tightly behind him...

Ingrid seemed to have noticed Link coming in, and she looked shy, with her hands barely covering her key parts...

"Lin... Lord Link... I'm wiping my body, how could you..."

"I don't believe that you, with your gold-level strength, can't sense my arrival. You even left the door ajar. Do you think I don't know you did it on purpose, little slut?"

Link roughly pressed Ingrid onto the bed, and his hands climbed onto Ingrid's huge, soft breasts, kneading them hard.

"Ah... Master Link! No... Don't...!"

"Do you want it or not? You can't talk incoherently!"
