"Everyone, our time is tight, and our preparations, whether sufficient or not, can only go so far."

The young man looked around at the people at the table, his mood was mixed.

"The city defense forces of Iron Feather City, as well as elite combat forces such as Xiao Xiao and Wu Gang, have completely entered a state of war. We can no longer infiltrate on a large scale like before."

"So, we can only have a total of ten people participating in this operation. In other words, we will face more and stronger enemies with fewer people."

"I hope everyone can come back with me, so please protect yourself and retreat if you encounter danger."

The young man really wanted to persuade these people to give up now. They should not follow him deep into that dragon's pond and tiger's den.

The current situation in Tieyu City is completely different from before. The entire city defense army is like a giant beast that has been awakened. The whole city is searching for traces of them. Groups of heavily armed soldiers arrive at a call.

It is no exaggeration to say that they are like mice actively entering the tiger's mouth, ready to steal a piece of bone it has just eaten from the tiger's belly.

Nourahan said impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense, didn't you say time is urgent?"

Bai Feng also said: "Yes, let's set off quickly!"

"Okay, let's take action!"

The boy nodded to signal the end of this hasty and brief meeting.

Everyone gathered on the deck, and there was also a group of people watching. Most of them actually didn't know what the young man and these people were going to do. They only knew that this battle was by no means a simple matter.

When passing by a bald man, the young man lowered his voice and said:

"Is it okay if you give me your father's relics?"

"Ha, if you say it's a relic, it's just a pile of tattered paper."

Boronar patted his shining bald head and said with a smile:

"I can't hold my sword firmly right now, so I can't go with you. I have to do my best!"

"Thanks!"

The young man patted Bronnar on the shoulder, feeling beyond words.

Boronard handed them the city design that was originally his father's legacy, which made the implementation of the rescue plan more concrete and gave the boy more confidence.

"Ha, don't say such nonsense."

Boronar patted the young man on the shoulder and said seriously:

"You all have to come back! We have prepared fine wine and roasted meat for you."

"good!"

The young man reached out and fist-bumped with Boronar, and the feeling of their joints touching gave him more strength.

Then the young man turned around and walked towards Bai Feng and the others.

"The boat is ready, let's go!"

Bai Feng shouted and waved to the boy, and the boy ran towards them quickly amid the urging of his companions.

"Hei Lao, won't you stop them?"

Zhan Mang looked at the ship going away, feeling very confused in his heart. His brother ignored his dissuasion and joined the dangerous action of the human boy. Bai Feng, who had always been independent, could not stop him, and Heisha was the only one who could persuade him now.

Bai Feng, Zhan Ya and other tiger elders who were senior warriors of the tiger clan did not say a word.

Faced with Zhan Mang's question, Heisha let out a long sigh. He looked up at the sky. There were a few scattered stars twinkling in the dark sky.

"This is their choice, everything is determined."

After saying that, Heisha closed his eyes and re-entered meditation. Although Zhan Mang, who was holding the wheelchair, wanted to ask what happened, seeing how tired the old man was, he could only push the wheelchair silently and leave the place where a biting cold wind was blowing.

deck.

This small merchant ship left the fleet and headed in the opposite direction.

"This boat is going faster than I thought."

The young man sighed. They now had to take a detour to another landing point. It was originally expected to take less than half an hour, but now it seems that it will only take less than half the time.

The sailor on the ship who was tightening the sail said: "This ship is driven by a steam boiler and is much faster than ordinary ships."

"Steam boiler?"

The boy didn't expect to hear this word.

Bai Feng said: "I've heard about it. Which country do you humans come from? What kingdom of Sti made it?"

"It's the Kingdom of Stiva. It turns out this is the steamship of the Kingdom of Stiva!"

Only then did the boy notice that the flag on the ship was the three-color golden anchor bunting of the Kingdom of Stiva. This powerful country that once competed with the Noah Empire for hegemony was famous for its prosperous maritime trade and shipbuilding industry.

Among the human countries, Noah's Holy Empire is known as the strongest in land warfare. It has the largest professional army, the highest warrior armor rate, and a large number of servant nations. The main body, Sergeant Noah, is brave and militant by nature and has strong combat effectiveness. At the same time, there are also a large number of outstanding soldiers in the army.

A general who has fought many large-scale foreign wars without any defeat so far (referring only to human battlefields).

The Kingdom of Stiva, which once competed with Noah for hegemony, is also known as the Sorcerous Kingdom, the Kingdom of the Sea, the Commercial Empire, etc. The country is a holy place for academics and commerce, gathering a large number of scholars and businessmen, commerce, machinery manufacturing, and shipbuilding industries.

When the emerging industries developed, it became the only powerful country to compete with the Noah Empire.

Nurahan knocked on the ship's plank and said with emotion: "These are indeed novel things. I feel that this ship is stronger than other ships."

The young man smiled and said: "You have never seen a magic ship. That thing is the crystallization of human wisdom. It is driven by magic core and can travel thousands of miles in a day. No matter how far away the port is, it only takes a few days."

"Oh? We orcs are not good at water and are not very interested in these things floating around on the sea."

Bai Feng shook her head. Although she and the other orcs sounded a little confused, they didn't think it was of any use.

The young man explained: "The goods that can be carried on the ship are not comparable to the carriages on the road. You can carry an entire fleet of ships with one ship. This is a very convenient method of transportation for commerce."

"Are merchants important? Do they need to make these things to facilitate commerce? Although they are very rich."

Bai Feng frowned, obviously not understanding.

There are basically no merchants in the orc territory. They are basically vendors wandering around in their respective villages selling some rare items. Bai Feng has never seen or even heard of large caravans or well-known merchants.

"Merchant is of course very important. The useless items accumulated in your hands can be brought out by the merchant in exchange for the items you need. For example, if a salt-producing area is short of food, a businessman will bring food from the food-producing area in exchange for salt, and then give the salt to the salt-producing area.

The grain-producing land allows merchants to earn the price difference and at the same time solve the problems between the two places."

The young man explained earnestly that if these orcs could be made to understand the importance of doing business, it might be possible to reduce the number of wars.

Bai Feng still had a confused look on her face. She said, "Uh... It sounds like it's very troublesome. Why don't we just let the people from their two territories fight, and the loser will listen to the winner, wouldn't we all be lacking?"

There is not even a middleman to make the difference, once and for all.

The thinking of orcs is so simple and crude.

"Um? But what if the distance is too far and there are still many mountain roads on the road, making it impossible to fight?"

"Hmm... It seems that we have to rely on merchants, but we have clan leaders and elders over there, and they will discuss this kind of matter with other leaders in the surrounding areas."

"All right......"

The regional culture and political system of the orcs are different from those of humans, and the boy also realized that his knowledge may not be that practical for orcs such as Bai Feng.

"However, most of the places where rivers meet are important places. If you have many strong ships and more artillery, you can directly control the trade in a large area. Most cities rely heavily on supplies imported from outside.

, this can also effectively block and deter the main city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.”

"This is quite interesting."

Bai Feng and a group of orcs listened with great interest.

"Well......"

It seems that the original intention of my conversation was to persuade these orcs to learn to develop peacefully.

Why does this involve fighting again?

The young man's face was covered with black lines.

After some time...

"How far are we from there?"

Nurahan stamped his feet impatiently. The tall and strong leader of the orcs was now holding on to the guardrail on the deck sickly. Besides him, many people were riding on a ship for the first time. The rocking ship made them feel uncomfortable.

These warriors can't wait to put their legs on solid land.

"We're here, everyone, bring everything you need to bring."

The young man glanced at the cave not far away and the turret on the city wall overlooking the entire river, and felt a little nervous. Fortunately, because this city wall faced the mountains and forests, there were no guard posts, and the turret was also very old, and the barrel

It was covered with rust and moss, and it was obvious that no one had done any maintenance for a long time.

This cave is the sewer outlet in the west of Tieyu City, which can lead directly to the inner city of Tieyu City. It is the hidden entrance mentioned in the memory of the undead. The boy had specifically confirmed the existence of this tunnel two days ago, and originally wanted to use it as an escape

The insurance plan after the plan failed, I didn’t expect to use it even if it succeeded.

The water ahead was too shallow and the ship could no longer move forward. Before disembarking, the soldiers began to finalize their clothes. The young man put on civilian clothes, while the orc soldiers put on guard equipment.

The main personnel following the boy in the rescue plan this time are still orc warriors, including six tiger warriors including Bai Feng and Zhan Ya, four strong orc warriors including the strong orc leader Nulahan, and another

The three non-combatants are two human sailors and a human captain.

"After we leave, you three should be more honest."
