The battle during the day calmed down the monsters in Dodan Canyon, garrisoned in the camp.
Some people from the small town gathered around the camp. They were not only watching the infantry carrying the corpses of the monsters, but also some small town residents took the initiative to help push the rolling stones to the side of the hanging tower. After all, these rolling stones still need to be transported to the 40-meter-high tower.
On top of the city wall, a simple hanging tower with a wooden structure was built on one side of the city wall.
The merchants in the small town also gathered around the military camp, looking at the carloads of monster corpses being transported into the military camp, and kept shouting slogans such as "Buy leather, teeth, and magic core at high prices."
They wanted to stop the carriage and snatch several monster beast corpses from it.
The infantry were unmoved by this. Once a businessman tried to approach, they would be warned by the cavalry nearby.
The corpses of the monsters that were brought into the military camp were skinned and fleshed, but in the end even the bones were not transported out. Now a large number of monsters are surrounded by the northern city wall, and no mercenary group can go out of the city to hunt under such circumstances.
If mercenaries want to hunt monsters, they can only temporarily register as defense personnel in Duodan Town at the military camp.
Only then can they take turns to climb the city wall. The number of defense personnel who can climb the city wall every day is limited to twenty, and they are not allowed to leave Duodan Town at will during the beast tide, otherwise they will be deprived of their volunteer qualifications.
On the city wall, it is impossible to hunt Warcraft without excellent archery skills. The mercenaries can only carry a few Warcraft down from the top of the city on their backs every day.
Such a quantity simply cannot satisfy the merchants in Duodan Town.
So some businessmen found Selina, preparing to explain the situation to her, and hoped that she could open a trade channel from the military camp and let the businessmen in the town also participate.
There are so many Warcraft materials, and everyone wants a piece of the pie.
Selina and Surdak also talked a lot about this. Surdak felt that these businessmen were speculators and they would not help the development of the town. Moreover, once the beast tide passed in the future, they did not know what would happen.
No matter where you go, this kind of speculators really have nothing to work with.
Selina hopes to establish some contact with these merchants, mainly regarding the price of these Warcraft materials. Now the seller has the right to speak, and the price of Warcraft materials should naturally be determined by the military camp.
When the merchants saw that the military camp was finally willing to trade some of the Warcraft materials with local merchants, they all came together at once.
Surdak knew that he could not peel off so much leather, so he decided to take out some monsters and sell them whole.
Nowadays, this kind of Moon Blade Fire Wolf is only at the first level, and its valuable parts are very limited, so the price of a Moon Blade Fire Wolf is also very transparent.
After deducting the transaction tax that needs to be paid, the profit left by Suldak to these merchants is only 15%. If these fire wolf leathers are transported to Wilkes City, they can make more.
Although profits have been reduced a lot, it is still better than nothing.
…
After every battle, Surdak would become extremely busy.
A large number of wounded people needed to be treated by Surdak himself, and he had to skin as many of the monsters as possible while the magic power on them was still there. Only then could it be possible to harvest the magic mark of life.
After the injured soldiers were removed from the battlefield, the wounds were simply treated by the rescue team organized by the town hall.
When Surdak returns from the battlefield, he only needs to use Holy Light to rehabilitate the wound, so this treatment process is relatively simplified, saving Surdak a lot of precious time.
Only some of the unlucky ones with serious injuries still need Surdak to start the sacrificial ceremony, exchanging the sacrifices for the blessings of the ‘Divine Blessed Body’ to help them survive the most dangerous period.
Suldak has converted the first-floor guest room of the small building where he lives into his temporary clinic.
The kitchen next door was where he skinned monsters, and there was only a wall between the two rooms.
Suldak dragged his tired body and asked his cavalry to carry out a seriously injured man, then stood at the door of the small building and shouted listlessly: "Next one!"
"Um... Sir Commander, the one just now is the last one." The cavalry guard guarding the door of the small building whispered to Suldak.
"Is it gone? Then you should go and have a good rest!" Suldak looked up at the night sky. Before he knew it, it was midnight, and he ordered the cavalry guards around him.
The night sky is filled with stars.
In Duodan Town, the starry sky that can be seen is like a long river flowing slowly from south to north.
Only by walking out of Duodan Town and running into the vast grassland can you see the complete starry sky.
The wooden dormitory in the military camp was still lit with lights. A group of soldiers gathered at the entrance of the canteen, looking at the merit exchange list and calculating the day's gains.
The merit exchange list at the entrance of the canteen has mobilized the enthusiasm of many soldiers. Although the daily battles are very dangerous, many soldiers hope to fight on the front line.
The soldiers in the military camp were in high spirits, and Suldak breathed a sigh of relief.
However, when Surdak looked in the direction of the stables, he saw more than twenty indigenous herdsmen dealing with a group of injured horses. The dead horses were also placed outside the empty field. There were now a large number of hunting monsters, and there were many monsters in the military camp.
There is no shortage of meat, so these war horses will be buried with dignity.
In the daytime battle, at least two hundred horses were lost. This was Surdak's biggest loss.
There is no way, using Gubo Laima as a heavy cavalry mount is a bit reluctant. Countless armored horses collided with Warcraft on the battlefield, so that the horses were also severely damaged. This is what gives Surdak the biggest headache.
place.
…
Quartermaster Handel delivered the third batch of supplies.
In addition, two letters from Bena City were also sent.
In order to express his gratitude, Suldak took the time to meet with him and took him to have breakfast together in the canteen of the military camp.
Breakfast consisted of toasted wheat cakes and broth, with shredded onions and tomatoes added to the broth, which indeed tasted better.
But these vegetable ingredients alone still cannot hide the sour taste of these fire wolf meats.
While eating, Suldak asked Handel about the adventure group.
The adventure group in Duodan Town seemed to disappear out of thin air, suddenly becoming without a trace.
He was a little strange. The beast tide was approaching. What else could these adventure groups do after leaving the border town?
"I heard that after the beast tide comes, there will always be some monsters that climb over the Thorny Mountains and enter the occupied areas of the Green Empire. Other places in the occupied areas of the White Forest Plane will also be attacked by monsters. These adventure groups are scattered to various small towns in the occupied areas.
, taking the opportunity to hunt those lone monsters is not only safer, but sometimes you can also get rewards from the town or nobles."
Quartermaster Handel said to Suldak.
"I heard that the situation in Nantu Town and Plantos Town is much more serious than yours, so the next supplies will be given priority to those two towns."
Surdak asked curiously: "What happened?"
Quartermaster Handel whispered: "I heard that a group of monsters successfully climbed over the city wall and rushed into the town. It seems that many people died..."
"Ah! How could this happen?" Surdak said in surprise.
After all...the beast tide hasn't come yet!
…
This time, Quartermaster Handel took advantage of the convenience of transporting military supplies and delivered the items sent by Hathaway and Beatrice to Suldak as soon as possible.
Surdak was quite sympathetic to this.
He asked Quartermaster Handel to pick from the pile of Moon Blade Fire Wolf corpses, take whichever one he liked, and then give it to him as a gift that symbolized friendship.
This is not a bribe, this is friendship.
The first letter was written by Beatrice herself.
'My dear, at this moment I really want to stand in front of you... and kiss you.
Hathaway and I work at the Foreign Affairs Bureau. Recently, due to the unstable situation, prices in Bena City have risen a lot.
Please don't think that I am a philistine woman, but the leathers you sent have indeed brought great changes to our family.
The shop has almost become an important economic pillar for the Gophero family. Thank you for continuously providing these leather goods.
The Gophero family has finally seen a turn for the better. At least some laughter can be heard occasionally in the house that makes people feel chilled to the bone.
In the morning, my father specially sent someone to tell me that I should go home and see him when I have time... You must not know how long I have been waiting for this sentence!
I can't wait to cross the portal and run to Bai Lin's plane... to see you!
But now the Bailin plane portal is under military control, and the date of our pass is two months from now.
Please take good care of yourself before I arrive at the Bailin plane to see you.
Love you Beatrice Gophero.’
Hathaway's letter reads:
‘Hi, how are you doing in Bailin?
I heard that there may be a tide of beasts over there, and you will hunt monsters every day.
is that so?
Is life in Bai Lin very fulfilling and busy?
Now, the situation in Bena Province is not very good. Tarapagan has become a battlefield. It has involved all the noble lords in Bena Province. The army is pressing down on the border. Many civilians in Tarapagan have taken refuge in Bena.
There are still some civilians in the city who are eager to leave here.
Beatrice and I have to deal with a lot of letters at the Foreign Affairs Bureau here every day, including those applying for immigration.
The lords of other provinces wanted to get a share of the pie in Bena.
I also heard that Duke Newman is also planning to evacuate from the Warsaw plane recently, and I heard that the main force of the Bena Army will return home soon.
Beatrice and I have joined the temporary planning team, and recently we have to discuss with the Ryan family a series of issues that will arise after the withdrawal, including the ownership of Handanar County and how to transport the resources obtained through the portal.
In Ivorson City, the only problem left with Handanar County is resource conversion. It is estimated that the Duke may have to lose some money on this expedition.
When he came back, he must have felt even worse when he saw that some of the land in the north of the tower had almost turned into scorched earth.
My vacation with Beatrice has been postponed for two months and I am looking forward to that day.
