After Zidi checked the account books, she found out strangely: The person who purchased the most Dragon Riders in the city was actually a gang.
The store manager introduced the situation to her: "Master Mage, you may not know it well. The Ax Gang is the largest gang in our blood city and has a large number of plush horses. This kind of horse is very cold-resistant. Although the charging distance is short, its endurance is
Not bad, you can run freely in the cold weather of ice and snow."
"Some of the better plush horses also have magic-like properties that can keep knights warm."
"The Ax Gang formed a cavalry team using plush horses, called the Fire Ax Cavalry."
Zong Ge, who came with Zidi, didn't take it seriously at first, but when he heard what the store manager said, his strong interest was immediately aroused and he turned his attention.
Seeing that the captain of the dragon suit was also paying attention to him, the store manager explained in more detail: "The fire ax cavalry uses long-handled battle axes as weapons, and they practice blood-wrath fighting spirit. Only a small number of them are snow elves, and most of them are human race and
dwarf."
"When the Fire Ax Cavalry fights with all their strength, their blood-rage fighting spirit is so strong that they often ignite themselves. The velvet horses they ride will also be burned. In this case, both the cavalry and their mounts are bathed in bloody flames and attack
The power will increase several times!"
Zong Ge was fascinated by what he heard. This was the first time he encountered a team.
He imagined many scenarios in his mind, wondering how such a team should be used to perform optimally on the battlefield.
Zidi focused on another point and asked the store manager: "A local gang has raised a cavalry team. What are they going to do?"
The store manager quickly replied: "The Ax Gang's biggest business is escorting caravans. They escort goods for caravans inside and outside Blood City. The Fire Ax Cavalry is the biggest sign."
"Of course." At this point, the store manager lowered his voice, "If a chamber of commerce does not cooperate with them, the Ax Gang will turn into robbers and commit robberies. Very few caravans can defeat the Fire Ax Cavalry.
So now, the chamber of commerce in Blood City basically cooperates with the Ax Gang."
"And large chambers of commerce like the Bengbu Chamber of Commerce will maintain relations with the Ax Gang even if they have their own powerful guards."
Zidi frowned slightly, with a solemn look on her face, and asked: "The Ax Gang is just a local gang, but it can actually control the trade routes outside Blood City and collect protection fees from various caravans. Doesn't the Lord of Blood City care about this?
?”
"The leader of the Ax Gang is gold-level, but the Blood City Lord is also gold-level, and he is also a mage."
Before setting off, Zidi had already purchased a lot of information about the towns along the way through the Thieves Guild.
The store manager continued to lower his voice and said: "Our blood-related city lord is indeed gold-level, and he is also a mage, but he has not shown up for a long time. According to rumors, he has been practicing in the royal capital to prepare for winning this year's Warm Snow Cup competition.
.And the person who handles the government affairs of Blood City on his behalf is his disciple, who is just a silver-level mage."
"Moreover, the Ax Gang Leader is not only a gold-level fighter, he also has a gold-level weapon in his hand - the Blood Vengeance Axe."
"The Blood Vengeance Ax is not an ordinary gold-level weapon. In addition to being much more than an ordinary gold-level weapon, it has been a symbol of power for the Lord of Blood City for a long time."
"But more than 40 years ago, there was a rebellion in the Ice Sculpture Kingdom."
"At that time, Blood City was still called Xue Qing City. The city owner of Xue Qing City was a member of the royal family, but he was afraid of death after defeat and surrendered to the rebels in shame."
"The king successfully suppressed the rebellion and recovered Xue Qingcheng. He originally wanted to deal with the lord of Xue Qingcheng, but the king's mother interceded for the lord of Xue Qingcheng. After all, he is also of royal blood."
"The king still retained the position of the city lord of Xue Qing City, but changed the name of the city. After the name change, it was called Blood Relative City."
"After the city lord of Xueqing City learned about the new name of the city, he felt so guilty that he committed suicide that night."
"From that day on, the Blood Vengeance Ax fell into disrepair, passing through many owners, and finally fell into the hands of a strong snow elf. With this ax, he opened up a world in the city and founded the Ax Gang."
"The position of leader of the Ax Gang has been passed down to this generation, and the gang's power has become even greater."
"Our acting City Lord tried several times to retrieve the Blood Vengeance Battle Ax from the Ax Gang. In the end, he was destroyed by the contemporary Ax Gang leader, and the acting City Lord suffered a lot."
"Alas, she is still too young."
"After several confrontations between the two parties, the Ax Gang had the upper hand. The city owner's side became increasingly weak. The other parties saw this and were unable to fight against the Ax Gang."
"So now, although the acting city lord in Blood City holds the title and controls the city guards, the real number one force is still the Ax Gang."
When the store manager said this, he showed a hint of pride and joy: "To be honest, the Dragon Power Riding potion is really great."
"With this potion, our pharmacy has established a relationship with the Ax Gang."
"There were some colleagues who came to squeeze us before, but since the Ax Gang bought Longliqi potion in large quantities, this kind of squeeze has become much less."
After hearing what the store manager said, Zong Ge and Zidi couldn't help but look at each other in silence.
They did not expect that the actual situation in Blood City would be like this.
In Snowbird Harbor, the city lord of Snowbird Harbor is undoubtedly the most powerful party, but here, the acting city lord of Blood Relative City was overtaken by local gangs.
Although the acting city lord occupies the title, it is obvious that there is nothing that can be done against the Ax Gang. When it comes to the game of local forces, the leader of the force himself must be given priority.
After Zidi thought about it, she immediately made a decision: "Prepare gifts. It seems that we have to pay a good visit to the leader of the Ax Gang."
"Is this necessary?" Hearing this, Zong Ge couldn't help but frown.
As a general, he had no favorable impression of pirates or local gangs.
Zidi nodded slightly: "Our alchemy workshop in Snowbird Port almost only does one thing, and that is refining the Dragon Power Riding Potion."
"Our shipments will become larger and larger."
"If the Ax Gang goes against us, it will be difficult for Blood City to ship."
"Blood Relatives City is one of the cities closest to Snowbird Port. We want to distribute goods across the country, and this is an important transportation thoroughfare. The Ax Gang also controls the nearby trade routes, which is very important."
"Okay then." Zong Ge nodded, "I'll go with you."
Although he and Zidi had serious differences or even quarrels, when a problem came, he would take the initiative to put aside his differences and work with Zidi to solve the problem first.
The Ax Gang is the most powerful in Blood City. With the Fire Ax Cavalry, they can control the trade routes around the city.
But the acting city lord has been unable to do anything against them. Even if there are city guards, they have not been used.
Zidi immediately guessed: The Ax Gang may have corrupted many officers. Perhaps as soon as the Dai City Lord ordered the annihilation of the Ax Gang, someone in the city guard rebelled.
Zidi didn't have the slightest motivation to bring things right for the acting city lord. The purpose of her trip, besides entering the Ice Sculpture Capital, was to conduct a smooth inspection along the way and implement her business plan.
The sales of dragon riding potions are booming, but Zidi is not satisfied yet. Because there is still a huge space to fill in the mount potion market in Blood City.
The dragon and lion mercenary group's potion production has been greatly increased. Next, more dragon riding potions will be sold in this city.
Only by occupying almost all the gaps in the mount potion market here can it be considered safer.
Even if a similar potion appears in the future, it will be difficult for it to become popular in Blood City because the market space is almost entirely occupied by the Dragon Power Riding potion.
Although there is a direct teleportation array between Blood City and Snowbird Port, due to the cost, it is impossible for the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group to use teleportation to transport goods.
Generally speaking, this mode of transportation is only used for major military activities.
It would be too expensive to use the teleportation array to transport goods. Even Zong Ge knew that doing so would definitely result in huge losses.
The cheapest transportation method is caravan transportation.
If the Ax Gang comes to make things difficult, it will definitely bring huge trouble to Zidi. If Zidi wants to use the Dragon Power Riding potion to seize the market, time is very critical.
Once delayed, if you want to achieve the same market effect in the future, the effort will be more than doubled or doubled. It is even possible that the same effect will never be achieved.
ps: I have read everyone’s suggestions, and the general response is the issue of the amount of updates. But in fact, group dramas are much more difficult to design than the plot and outline of ordinary online articles. I have just mastered this writing technology, and my proficiency
Low, it is difficult to increase the number. I am currently thinking about whether there is a more flexible update strategy that is more suitable for group dramas...
