Not long after, just as Nalant thought, he discovered a gathering place of orcs in the woods more than a mile away.
"Sir, I discovered it. Bee discovered a gathering place for orcs!"
"Really? What is the size of the gathering place? Are there many orcs?"
"Sir, the number of orcs is at least several hundred, but the specific number of bees cannot be calculated. I have asked Xiao Huihui to go and investigate together!" Little Shirley replied with her little head raised.
"Okay, then we will temporarily retreat outside the forest and wait! In addition, let the bees continue to patrol in other directions to confirm whether there are any other orc tribes."
"Yes, sir!"
After giving the instructions, Nalant returned with a full load of subordinates and exited the forest, waiting for further investigation.
…
At the same time, an orc camp more than 20 miles away from Nalant and others welcomed a special caravan today.
Why is it so special? Because this caravan is actually a human caravan.
The relationship between orcs and humans is very tense now due to border issues.
Although caravans with great backgrounds can still go to the Orc Royal Court for trade, they can only go to the Orc Royal Court, and the team must also bring enough guards to protect the safety of the caravan, and hang a special certificate issued by the Royal Court.
A flag that allows trade between the two races.
But this team has no signs, and is more like a smuggling caravan that has always been somewhat shady.
"Your Excellency Kari, this is the leader of the Black Rock Pig-headed Human Clan!"
"Chief O'Ni, this is our lord's guard commander. This time I came here under your lord's order to discuss something with you!"
After the motorcade stopped, the person in charge of the motorcade immediately introduced the identities of both parties to Kari and the pig-headed clan leader.
Obviously, this is not the first time the leader of this convoy has come to this pig-headed camp.
"You adults have something to discuss with me. Of course you can, but now I want to take a look at the weapons and equipment I ordered from you last time!" The pig-headed clan leader didn't care at all about coming to see him for something. Instead, his eyes stayed on
On the carriage in the procession.
"Of course, we have prepared the twenty axes, fifty swords and thirty shields that the nobles ordered last time. We guarantee that you will be satisfied!"
The team leader responded immediately.
As he said that, he directly ordered his subordinates to open the carriages, and under the carriages were actually a handful of sophisticated weapons and equipment.
Although it looks only 80% new, this does not actually affect the use of the weapon.
And if any nobles from the principalities of the Holy Alliance saw this scene, they would probably arrest the entire convoy and send them to the gallows.
Because selling sophisticated weapons to the enemy is tantamount to endowment to the enemy.
After all, now that the threat of dark creatures has stabilized, there is already a faint friction between the orcs and the humans.
Any weapon sold to orcs may be contaminated with human blood in the future.
"Very good. You, the Klee caravan, really keep your word and are friends of our orcs. Let's go and sit in my house!"
When the pig-headed orc saw the high-quality weapons, his attitude immediately became friendly and invited the team steward and Nakali to head towards his house.
Soon, Kari and the caravan manager were trapped in the house of the pig-headed leader.
Although the other orcs in the pig-headed camp all live in low thatched houses, the house of the pig-headed leader is a stone house.
What surprised Kari even more was that the room was filled with all kinds of gold and silver vessels.
In addition, there were even two human women wearing animal skins inside the house.
These two human women were very agile. When their invitees sat down at a large wooden table, they immediately brought silver cups and pots, and then poured wine for them.
"Your Excellency Kari, don't be surprised. These items, including the servants, were all looted from the viscounty. In fact, a lot of them have been sold! Otherwise, the number would be even greater!"
Seeing Kari's surprised expression, the caravan steward on the side immediately explained in a low voice.
Only then did Kari nod, the doubts in his mind dissipating.
"Human race, tell me, what do you adults want to discuss with me? Are there more weapons?"
"Although we in Black Rock Village really need weapons and equipment, the furs and potions of Warcraft stored during this period are only enough to pay for the one just now!" The leader of the pig-headed man took a sip of wine and spoke directly to Kari.
It's funny to say that the Orcs are actually closer to the Dwarves than the Humans, but if they want to buy weapons, most of them can only buy them from the Humans.
The reason is very simple. First of all, the orcs cannot sign a contract with the elves.
Because this elf seems to only recognize humans.
In this way, if the orcs want to use iron tools, they can only buy them.
When it comes to purchasing, orcs are notoriously poor because they are not good at creating and farming, and they still live more of a primitive tribal hunting life.
Therefore, without enough gold coins or food, they have no way to buy weapons and equipment from the dwarves.
As for why they can buy it from the human race, it is because the human race covets the beast skins and magical beast skins obtained by the orc tribe after hunting.
Or the various magic potions that are difficult for humans to find in the forest.
The furs of these beasts and monsters can only be used as warm clothing for the orcs.
But once you get it within the Holy Alliance, it can be turned into a fine coat or leather boots and a hat worth thousands of gold.
Therefore, even though they knew that selling weapons and equipment to the orcs was siding with the enemy, many caravans still took the risk of smuggling due to the huge profits.
Of course, the real financial backers behind these caravans are all nobles of all sizes within the Holy Alliance.
Because only with their status, they can run a prosperous smuggling business without being traced and punished.
"Chief Black Rock, it's not about the weapons, but we adults have some good news to tell you!" After hearing what the pig-headed leader said, Kari shook his head and immediately explained.
"What's the good news?" Although the pig-headed man leader was a little bit hungry, he still got excited and asked after hearing the good news.
"Chief Black Rock, do you still remember the viscounty outside the forest to the east?"
"Of course I remember this. I, Black Rock Village, was the first one to break through the castle of your human nobles. That's why I have so many exquisite noble items in this house!" The leader of the pig-headed man immediately raised his head, obviously dissatisfied with their Black Rock Village.
The initial results were very satisfying.
"Chief Black Rock, I'm here to tell you this time that you can carry out the second robbery now, because there is another noble lord in that viscounty territory!"
"Oh? Really, another noble lord is here?" The pig-headed leader was indeed interested.
Since the noble castle was breached last time, I didn't expect that the viscount would abandon his territory and run away.
The reason why they didn't directly burn down the castle when they plundered was because they thought they could plunder once a year.
This is much better than hunting in the woods. Just go out and plunder enough food and wealth for half a year.
It's a pity that those nobles were too timid and abandoned their territories one by one during the robbery, and never returned.
Now after decades of waiting, one is finally here, which is of course very detailed.
"Absolutely true!" Cary answered in the affirmative.
