Su Hao's brows were frowning, his eyebrows were tightly frowned, but he couldn't tell whether he was worried or worried about something.

Dai Xiaolou did not lie. Every word he said was exactly the same as what Su Hao learned.

Su Hao knew that the zircons in his hands could be sold at a high price. Both the Imperial Industry Administration and the National Defense Forces were willing to pay enough chips. The only question was: Will the exchange be equal? ​​Or even nakedly occupied?

The previous incident of Konoha Town being sieged by dark creatures seemed to have no effect on Brigadier General Badam. He was still the supreme commander of 44 Pei. If he chose to hand over to the National Defense Forces and, according to regulations, he would have to carry out the entire set of work on receiving and inspecting the payment of materials. Considering the past, Su Hao did not think this was a wise choice.

Pay the Imperial Industry Administration to get the bonus? This choice was rejected by Su Hao from the beginning. No matter in any era, a rich civilian is a fat and round pig. The zircon reserves in the space field of HC993 are currently proven, which is as many as hundreds of millions of tons. Even if a ton of zircon is exchanged for a gold coin, it is a huge astronomical figure. The imperial nobles will definitely not let Su Hao go with huge wealth. As long as the information in the space field is exposed, he will immediately be torn to pieces by these guys who are more greedy than hyenas.

Therefore, Su Hao had to surrender to the military.

The question is, is it that we should choose the National Defense Forces?

Or choose the main legion?

Dai Xiaolou can be considered an acquaintance. This guy is impartial in his work. Although he is slick, he is still fair. More importantly, Su Hao and him have an indescribable sense of intimacy. On several occasions, Su Hao instinctively felt that he could trust this guy. But Su Hao himself couldn't explain why.

"You should choose the main legion and choose the Iron Fist."

Dai Xiaolou saw Su Hao's hesitation and smiled and increased the weight in his words: "The amount of 20% of the remittance is definitely uncontroversial. However, I can help you get more preferential treatment. For example, appropriately increase the exchange of military merits, and more types of weapons and equipment. Haha, don't underestimate the military merits of the main legion. Many nobles dream of getting it, but they can't even reach the threshold. Those fools only see the differences in military ranks between the brigade general and the major, but never think about the equipment and treatment between the National Defense Force and the main legion. The simplest example: when facing the dark nobles, a brigade general of the National Defense Force can only turn around and escape, while the major of the main legion can rush up to the other side. This is the gap."

Some words cannot be said too clearly. Dai Xiaolou believes that Su Hao should be able to understand what he wants to express.

Su Hao finally became biased towards the choice and said in a deep voice: "There is another question. Last time you said, my friend and I are the servants of the main legion of the "Iron Fist"?"

Dai Xiaolou nodded: "You can turn on the space converter too fast. Before I could send the army number, you left. The original identity document has been registered, and I will pass it to you now. Remember your number: Iron Fist Servant Army UU157 Infantry Battalion."

Su Hao stared at the screen, his voice and tone were serious: "So, when can we become the official editor of "Fist of Steel"?"

"This also requires military achievements."

Dai Xiaolou put away the smile on his face, and his voice became solemn: "As long as you keep handing over more strategic resources and accumulate military merits, you can get everything you want."

A week later, a huge military airship slowly landed on the temporary flight field in Konoha Town.

Su Hao did not choose to exchange for the contribution points of the empire, but instead exchanged all the zircons brought back for military merits recognized by the main legion of the "Iron Fist". Although the contribution points will also be recognized by the main legion and their actual value is far higher than military merits, Su Hao never thought about fighting for the benefits. Too many benefits often mean greater dangers. The nobles were almost crazy to think about contribution points. If they were allowed to know that they had received a large amount of contribution points, it undoubtedly meant that they had gained a significant gain in the space field. At that time, it was probably not a problem that Dai Xiaolou could intervene. Konoha Town would completely turn into powder under the locust-like aristocrats.

The military merit information of the main legion is internal confidential. Although the redemption standards are strict, there is no need to worry about the dangers of data leakage.

Everyone became excited as they looked at the four containers unloaded from the airship cargo hold.

At Dai Xiaolou's suggestion, Su Hao exchanged 50 main legion weapons and the equipment of the National Defense Forces standard 200 people. The difference between the two is mainly reflected in the caliber, firing rate, warhead, etc. of the short-barrel rifle, as well as the specific functions of the military backpack. According to Su Hao's original intention, he wanted to get more ordinary power armor. Dai Xiaolou directly rejected this request and told him bluntly: more than 500 kilograms of high-grade zircon are not enough to exchange for a armor. Even if it is exchanged with contribution points, it is far from enough. Unless Su Hao can bring back more ores from the space field and form a stable resource supply channel with the "Iron Fist".

Despite this, the defense power of the National Defense Forces standard combat uniforms cannot be ignored. At least, the defense effect is far beyond the ordinary outerwear of the mercenaries in Konoha Town.

Of course, a set of medium-sized mining equipment is not less than that. At the same time, there is also a set of amplification devices that maintain the stability of the space conversion system. With this kind of thing, the maintenance time limit of the space converter can be multiplied. The specific time depends on the amount of crystals invested in the energy engine. As long as there are enough crystals, even if the space door is opened for a whole year without any problem.

Su Hao has been appointed as the new mayor by Qiao Tianyu. The promotion of his position immediately received response from all the townsmen. Su Hao had a good reputation. With the relationship between Kensen and Mo Xingkui, it is naturally easy to select elite troops from mercenaries and hunters to form a new guardian force.

Instead of rushing to turn on the space converter, he spent a lot of time reorganizing the mercenaries in Konoha Town. These people have a new name: "Town Guards".

Su Hao has resumed his job as a doctor. The rest of the work was handed over to Kensen and Mo Xingkui. He just stayed in the newly built hospital every day, facing every patient or injured with a smile.

It takes time to develop a "bee swarm". Before these people under him have sufficient loyalty, Su Hao will never turn on the space converter. In the face of huge wealth, anyone may get lost and become a speculator or whistleblower. Only the "worker bee" will not do this.

It mainly falls under the jurisdiction of the main legion, so Su Hao is not worried about the coordinates of the space conversion. This kind of thing has never happened in the history of the main legion. Because the legion only obeys the emperor and does not have the energy to manage space resources. From the number of Su Hao's troops, it can be seen that there are as many as millions of servants under the "Iron Fist" and there are astonishing resources to supply the main legion every day.

This is just a legion of "Fist of Steel". If you look at the entire empire, the scale and number are terrifying, it is simply unimaginable.

There is a lonely hill bun about two kilometers away from Konoha Town. Since the location is in the direction of the empire, there are no obstacles around it, and there is a highway next to it, and there is even a metal road sign nailed to the log.

A man in his thirties stood on the mountain bag, standing as straight as a javelin, holding a tactical telescope in his hand, carefully observing the city walls that were vaguely visible in the distance. His hair was short and neatly trimmed, without a single messy hair, his eye sockets were deep, and his broad shoulders were always under pressure. Even if he stood there, he exuded the momentum of the superior and a faint murderous intent.

Valam didn't initially like this task.

As the eldest son of the Clemen family and the first heir who is highly valued, Valam has always adhered to all the disciplines of soldiers and various essential military qualities. Many noble teenagers will join the army at the age of eleven, which is the so-called "semi-adult" in the conventional sense of the Imperial Civil Affairs Office. This system is said to have been formulated by the emperor himself tens of thousands of years ago. In order to allow more next generations who are aspiring to become soldiers to receive training from childhood丨In the official list, this special force is called the "Youth Army". They do not undertake main combat tasks, but must set out with the army during wartime, be responsible for a series of related responsibilities such as logistics management, transportation, equipment maintenance, and technical guidance. Some teenagers with sharp thinking, especially those who show strong talent in tactics, can even be directly selected to the staff headquarters to make suggestions for the battle itself as trainees.

Varam joined the Young Army at the age of twelve and retired at the age of 23. According to the comments given by the Imperial Defense Force headquarters, Varam was a very outstanding officer. He obtained the rank of lieutenant at the age of 15 and was promoted in sequence. When he retired, the rank was already a colonel. The nobles liked to take shortcuts in many things, and the same was true for the rank of military rank. Many noble children became young soldiers not for the so-called "loyalty to the emperor", but for the purpose of getting a retirement certificate in the army. According to relevant imperial decrees, if there is no such thing, they will lose the qualification to inherit the title and must pay more than 95% of the property inheritance tax. In short, every nobleman spent his youth in the military camp, but not everyone could become a qualified soldier.

The Young Army is no longer as brilliant as the emperor's early days. It is full of dirt from aristocratic families of all sizes. It is common to drink, gambling, bribe bosses, and other actions. The jokes and attention to women far exceed the concern of tactics and fighting courses. Under the influence of this bad atmosphere that is increasingly corrupt and no one dares to touch, the instructors are too lazy to care about these guys who come in and spend time. Some even take the initiative to ask for bribes, and after being satisfied, they will give them a high score on the test paper that fails. As long as these aristocratic scoundrels are honestly till they graduate, then you, me, everyone is well.

Valam is a very alternative figure among the nobles. He knew very well that the reason why he was able to become a colonel at the age of 23 was entirely because of the role played by the family behind this. Valam was full of gratitude and resentment. When he was promoted too fast, it meant that he would never lose the opportunity to participate in the frontline battle. Valam was never afraid of death, and he always wanted to become a general. However, this idea was not in line with the actual interests of the Clement family. They needed a family heir with a strong style, integrity, fairness, and majestic power. If Valam became a general, it meant that the Clement family must put in more resources to support Valam within the army to gain greater voice.

Many things are not what they imagined. The Clement family needs a vibrant leader, and the rest of the family members are unwilling to provide more resources to support Valam. Although the former and the latter have different ideas, they have common interests. In this case, Valam can only obey the family's orders and needs and are forced to take off his military uniform. According to the ancient rules within the family, he must receive more than ten years of training and various training after retirement | to officially take over the entire family at the age of 35.

In two years left, Valam will become the true patriarch.

Whether he likes it or not, he has taken steps and can never look back.

Varam felt that he had lost too much of what he deserved: life in the army, the girl he loved for a long time, the adventure life he had wandered around, the impulse to do whatever he wanted, and the future vision that every young man had... All of this was smashed by the four words "family needs".

On the road of life, you have to make efforts to gain something. There are some roads you have to go on, whether you like or dislike. The elderly always guide young people with their own experience, and young people always resist with ideals and impulsive instinct. When no one can convince the other party and cannot use actual evidence to show that they are correct, power and suppression become the ultimate channel for coordination and unity.

The empire could have had a young and promising general.

However, the Clemen family has an additional reserve clan leader who is careful and has the strength of "general".

This is reality.

Although Valam was observing the town in a telescope, he was thinking about Ruyan's past in his mind. He was a little confused for a moment and forgot about time. He kept a fixed posture for a long time, like a statue frozen by a spell.

A subordinate in a black uniform came over and reminded carefully: "Your Excellency, the time is almost over. This is a border area. If you stay here for too long, you may encounter dark creatures."

Varam slowly lowered his telescope, stared at the town with a cold gaze, and nodded faintly.

When three heavy maglev cars appeared outside Konoha Town, it caused a sensation.

This car is novel in style and is specially designed for wealthy and nobles. It has thick bulletproof armor. The body is strong and powerful, and is even equipped with a car-mounted machine gun with powerful firepower. Despite this, the body itself looks smooth in lines and smooth in the paint. On the surface, it looks like a sports car that is unsatisfactory, not a chariot in the conventional sense.

It is impossible for civilians to afford such things. What's more, the three floating cars are all inlaid with the unique emblems of the Clement family.

Valam is tall, which is also one of his most proud capitals. However, when he came to Su Hao in a black coat surrounded by dozens of bodyguards, he unexpectedly discovered that the young man who looked only twenty years old in front of him was as tall as his own, and his body exuded a strong murderous intent and a faint bloodiness that only veterans had.

"Hello, I'm the representative of the Clement family."

After a brief self-introduction, Valam took off his sunglasses, revealing his thick eyebrows and deep eyes. He looked at Su Hao seriously, his tone and voice full of majesty: "You may not know me, and you may also feel unfamiliar with the name of the Clemen family. But you must know Brito."

"Brito?" Su Hao frowned slightly.

For a moment, he had searched all the information about the name in his mind: the noble man who shot Bella with a long shotgun during the siege of Dark Creatures and almost killed her on the spot.

"Brito is my brother, you beat him to a disabled person."

Valam's brown and black eyes stared at Su Hao, his voice deep and majestic: "He can only lie in bed for the rest of his life. According to the doctor, ordinary surgery cannot change his destiny. If he wants to restore Brito's health, he will have the highest level of repair potion, and there is no other way."

Su Hao's expression seemed calm and composed, but his eyes showed unconcealed coldness.

This casual attitude suddenly made Valam's face look angry and asked coldly: "According to the imperial law, the murderer will pay for his life, and the seriously injured must pay enough material compensation. What are you going to do?"

Su Hao raised his head, raised his chin slightly, and asked in a volume and tough tone that was not inferior to the other party, "Why don't you ask why your brother was beaten half to death by me? He almost killed my man, how should he calculate the account?"

When Valam came, he had already had a detailed understanding of the past and after the incident. As the heir of the family, he certainly understood what kind of person Brito was. To be fair, Valam actually didn't want to interfere in this matter, and he also believed that Brito was the fault of his own. However, Brito was a member of the Clement family after all, and had a direct academic relationship with him. If there was an internal conflict in the family, Valam would definitely be absolutely fair. But once the matter involved outsiders, whether right or wrong, Valam had to seek justice for his own people first.

"You mean the woman named Bella?"

Valam's rock-hard lips slowly bent, revealing a hint of malicious sneer: "Of course I know, she is still alive. And she is healthy."
