Volume 2] Chapter 526 Heading towards the desert fiefdom——
Chapter 526 Heading towards the desert fiefdom
The elder personally went to prepare the material transportation operation. Dali began to officially hire these wandering mercenaries.
Mudin Khan shouted: "This lord will continue to employ us for one month. If you are willing to stay, sign up and agree in advance. It is the desert border and the environment is much more dangerous..."
Of course, his words are all nonsense. For dwarves who are naturally aggressive and brave (Gimli is a special case), even if they are unwilling, they will not quit halfway, otherwise they will be laughed at by others as timid. In short, no one
The dwarf leaves.
So Dali began to sign contracts one by one and pay. The mercenaries had to pay first, and it was in cash. There was no need to talk about loans or credit. Of these 621 mercenaries, the most powerful one seemed to be Mudin Khan. His daily salary was 1,000 gold coins.
, there are five relatively powerful people with a daily salary of 500 gold coins, and there are 300 ordinary powerful people.
, with a daily salary of 100 gold coins, and the rest are all soldiers with prices ranging from 30 to 80 gold coins. In short, hiring more than 600 people for only one million and hundreds of thousands of gold coins a month, compared to the crushing mercenary group
It's really too cheap. It would be even better if it was really like what these guys clamored for: "Crush the mercenary group in vain".
Of course, regular corporate mercenaries are expensive for a reason. They have a good reputation and are basically no different from the regular army except for the lack of military discipline. There are very few deceptive things like escaping from the battlefield.
As wandering mercenaries do not have a mercenary license issued by a formal association, they do not have a clear standard for their own strength. They usually bid randomly on their own. That is to say, there is often a deceptive situation where a person worth only 20 gold coins is confused and shouts for 100 gold coins.
Fortunately, the reputation of this red-bearded dwarf among the wandering mercenaries is quite high. If he presides over the registration, these soldiers will honestly report their worth. After all, in front of a master like him who can kill people, it is
Don't try to get away with it. During the registration process, Mudin Khan easily divided the team into six hundred-man teams. He and the five dwarves who received a daily salary of 500 each led 100 people.
Well, he is careful and methodical in his work, which is really unusual among carefree dwarves. Dali is even more determined to recruit Mudin Khan...
With a crash, ten gigantic beasts emerged from the lake—thunder lizards!
Dali was stunned, wow, this is obviously a rare specialty of the Orc Empire? How can it be found here?
Thunder monitor lizards look like saber-toothed dragons from the Jurassic era. They have thick skin, rough flesh, great strength, and infinite endurance. They are also docile and have a docile personality after being domesticated. They are the best beasts of burden! Some high-level thunder monitor lizards can spit out lightning chains.
, it is also the ultimate war beast of the Orc Empire!
The advantage of the Orc Empire is that it has a variety of powerful giant beasts, such as the Komodo beast of burden, the flying dragon beast, and this relatively rare species, the Thunder Dragon lizard. These giant beasts are really the power of nine cattle and two tigers, and they are technologically advanced.
It is a super-powerful production tool and war tool for the underdeveloped orcs. Because of this, the orcs' control over the giant beasts is no less strict than the mages' guild's management of the teleportation array.
These giant lizards slowly came ashore, and hundreds of workers at the station hung various saddles on them, and then piled various large and small bags on them. From a distance, they looked like an overloaded truck.
After working hard for a few hours, it was night.
The elder said: "We prepared food supplies to supply six hundred people for more than a month, and set off while the night was cool."
Dali said: "We are also ready. Everything will be arranged by the elders."
Six hundred powerful mercenaries and three hundred troops accompanied by elders escorted the monitor lizard on the road in the night. The monitor lizard's footsteps were low and slow. It was really an ox cart. How many days would it take to get here? Of course, with such high-end goods
That's pretty good, why would you dare to complain?
Dali couldn't help but ask: "Elder, is this giant lizard a specialty of the orcs? How come we have it here?"
The elder shook his head and sighed with a smile: "This is a long story. Ten thousand years ago, the orcs were just a weaker race. In the war between various races against the Zerg, the orcs provided the support of thousands of beasts of burden.
Allied logistics, after that earth-shattering decisive battle, the entire Silithus instantly
The land was desolate, and the casualties of various races were incalculable, but there were still some beasts of burden that survived because of their strong vitality. However, in the rush after the war, these remaining beasts of burden were quickly forgotten, and we cured those beasts of burden.
, the ten beasts of burden now are the descendants of the beasts of burden at that time.”
Dali was pleasantly surprised and said: "That's great, now we also have beasts of burden! We should do our best to breed and expand the number!"
The elder sighed: "No, due to generations of inbreeding and changes in the desert environment, these beasts of burden no longer have the ability to reproduce. These are our last beasts of burden, and they are too old. Maybe it's because of them
The last expedition."
Dali was shocked and said: "It can't be so miserable?"
The elder sighed: "If it hadn't been for the arrival of my little friends, they would have died of old age."
Is this a special treat for the first player to establish a fiefdom? Now that sea transportation is impassable and land transportation is not strong, what should we do in the future?
Dali asked: "Elder, if this batch of supplies in my territory runs out, what will I do in the future?"
The elder smiled and said: "Of course we will try our best to find a solution, but then the little friend will have to spend money to buy it. After all, these materials are the property of the kingdom."
Well, at least for now, I can only rely on the old man. But once the Zerg launches a large-scale attack in spring, will the old man still have the strength to rescue himself? Damn, isn’t the meaning of my existence to be a target for the Zerg to attack and distract the pressure on the oasis and World Tree?
Did you ask the old man to rescue you? Forget it, I don’t think about anything anymore. The old man will definitely not let me, a MT, get rid of him easily.
Dali thought of something: "By the way, once my fiefdom is built, can I build a teleportation circle?"
The old man sighed: "This is a bit difficult. Silithus is the ancient battlefield of the God War. There are many parallel planes in a violent state of space turbulence. Even such an important place as a desert oasis does not have the ability to repair teleportation.
The conditions of the array."
No? Even the teleportation array can't be repaired. How difficult is this fiefdom mission? Is it possible that I hire players to add millet and rifles and manpower to carry the food? Damn it, even if I want to hire it, I have to wait until the player reaches level 100?
Ah, wait, actually when I talk about this beast of burden, Dali reminds me of the famous product of the orcs, the two-legged flying dragon! Players are commonly known as airplanes. NPCs only have teleportation arrays in cities. If you go to the countryside, you can take a carriage, but in the orc empire
The difference is that they not only have carriages, but also bipedal flying dragon stations. As long as you are willing to spend 30 times more travel expenses than carriages, you can enjoy the addiction of flying.
And where are the wyverns? There are the Maryland swamps where the lizardmen migrate!
The Maryland Everglades is a vast buffer zone on the border between humans and orcs. It is a dense jungle with water nets, traps everywhere, and various bison, crocodiles, jackals, giant pythons, piranhas, petrified monitors, poisonous flies, and wyverns.
Haunted. This is the last gathering place of the lizard people. In the legend of the past life, this is also the smuggling channel for the smuggling groups of the two kingdoms.
In the prosperous period before the Ten Thousand Years War, the Lizardmen were famous for their beast taming. Many of the current beast-taming techniques in the Orc Empire were taught by the Lizardmen. To be precise, the Orcs themselves were tamed by the Lizardmen before they entered civilized society.
.The lizard people can speak dragon language, and the flying dragons are also related to the dragon clan, so taming the flying dragons is the lizard people's strength!
Dali's heart suddenly moved. Since the lizard people have returned to their hometown, they must return to their old business. I found them and asked them to help me tame the flying dragon and then transport it to Silithus to solve the logistics and transportation problem! Although the transportation volume is definitely
It’s not powerful, but it’s fast, safe and doesn’t require an escort!
Well, maybe it’s very difficult to implement, but it’s better than staring blankly now!
At this moment, several eagle whistles came from far away in the night sky.
The elder shouted: "A large number of Zerg are attacking, the team has stopped advancing, and all the soldiers have arranged a defensive formation to protect the beasts of burden!"
The dwarves were suddenly refreshed, waving their battle axes and shouting: "Let these bugs see how powerful we are!"
Mudin Khan shouted: "Hurry up and set up the formation! Denmod, your people guard the east, Askar, your people guard the north, Ofger, your people guard the west, Ibek, you and I guard the front.
!”
Suddenly, the entire team was in a state of chaos. Damn, are you just not listening to the command?
Mudin Khan shouted angrily: "Dammod, Askar, where are you people!"
The two shouted aggrievedly: "These trash can't tell the difference between east, west and north! You trash, I'm here, come closer to me!"
Mudin Khan was furious: "You two idiots, you are in the wrong position! Okay, Dunmod's people will guard the west, and Askar's people will guard the east!"
——Ah poof! Oh my god! How weird are you! How did you survive in the cruel world of mercenaries? Is it really okay to expect you to be in such a dangerous situation?
The elder patted Dali's shoulder kindly: "It doesn't matter, the desert always has such a magical power that can make people lose their way."
Dali smiled bitterly and said: "I hope there will be no problems with their combat effectiveness."
About a few minutes passed, and in a hurry, the iron barrel array was finally set up. At this time, a buzzing sound came from the front of the desert. The great elder and a group of accompanying druids began to cast spells as a whole group to bless the team with various wild blessings.
Strength, healing blessing, and then start to collectively cast spells and chant the ultimate move.
Here it comes! There are stars in the night, and a fluorescent ocean surges in. This is the insect eye of the Zerg! The powerful heartbeat suddenly stagnated! There are probably hundreds of thousands of them! This is the winter when activity is not rampant.
offensive?
Under the extreme shock, the dwarves began to breathe rapidly, their blood began to rush to their heads, and they roared in their throats. They couldn't help but rush forward like crazy!
Mudin Khan suddenly shouted: "Stick to your post! Stay calm! Maintain your formation! Don't leave any gaps!"
This loud roar that echoed through the night sky was like a wake-up call that immediately sobered up the minds of the dwarves.
The elder shouted: "Warriors, these are just children, let them see the power of Druid!"
Under the spell cast by many druids, a huge dark cloud gathered in front - Boom!!! Countless thunder and fire crashed down, and the entire night sky became bright!
