Although the quality of the iron ore is slightly worse than that in Jiuxue Village, the price is low, the quantity is large, and the management is sufficient. The most important thing is that compared to Jiuxue Village, hundreds of kilometers of mountain roads are saved.
Even farmers who have no business experience, it is clear at a glance how to choose, let alone those businessmen who are as smart as monkeys.
Not only will they not load the truck before arriving at Heijing Tribe, but they will empty the vehicle as much as possible before arriving at Heijing Tribe to load iron ore - it is faster, more convenient and dangerous to walk empty on the mountain road.
Sex is lower.
Now the iron ore in Old Ax Village has piled up in the cave, and Shanoba is worried about this.
The appearance of the middle-aged woman became a fuse, which directly ignited Sanoba's life.
Shanobah discovered the middle-aged woman and arranged for the Zhentarim to lead the way, but she had no intention of going down to join them.
She doesn't know how to work for the Zhentarim, it's a cesspool.
Compared to what the Dark Intelligence Network has done, she is as clean as a white lotus.
She is going to the Black Well Tribe now purely out of revenge. She actually wants to see what the origin of the Black Well Tribe that has squeezed her out and cannot continue to maintain is.
In particular, he has an inherent advantage when facing kobolds.
The Black Well Tribe is not difficult to find, because people here come and go and it is very lively. Compared with the deserted Old Ax Village, it is a different scene.
Shanobah looked down from high in the sky and could see more clearly.
Among these caravans, there were not only human ones, but also small trucks pulled by kobolds, which were also packed to the brim.
If placed in other places, if humans and kobolds met, even if they didn't draw swords at each other, they would still be at war with each other.
But here, the most we can do is to vigilantly keep a distance, and then everyone goes their separate ways.
Occasionally, a team of twelve well-equipped kobolds would patrol along the mountain road, each with their heads held high and their morale high, just like knights patrolling their territory.
Regardless of whether they were merchants or kobold merchants, they all bowed and saluted when they saw these patrol teams.
In addition to the kobold patrols, there are kobolds everywhere along the mountain roads. They usually appear in groups, ranging from a dozen to dozens. There is even an area densely packed with hundreds of kobolds.
.
When I took a closer look, I realized that they were all construction sites.
Those kobolds are repairing and widening the road, and they are working enthusiastically one by one. These kobolds are short in stature, but not very weak in strength. The smaller miner's pickaxe is wielded very vigorously by them.
Shanobah even forgot about her business and changed her body again, leaving only a pair of black dragon wings. Her body returned to human form, and she lurked quietly and carefully observed the construction work of the kobolds.
When it comes to the work efficiency of a single kobold, it is definitely not as efficient as the humans in Old Ax Village - despite their physical limitations, the strength of these kobolds cannot keep up with that of a half-grown human, let alone those who have been engaged in physical work for a long time.
prime of life.
But it can’t handle large quantities.
The human miners in Old Ax Village, all put together, are not as many as the kobolds in a large construction site.
Many kobolds work together to achieve considerable speed.
The most important thing is that Shanobah didn't find any lazy kobolds, and she didn't even see a few of the supervisors. Occasionally, there were a few kobolds wandering around, and they belonged to the deployment staff. After the deployment, she picked up the miner's pickaxe.
Let's do it too.
Now we are building roads, not mining, and there is no temptation of profit.
Why are these kobolds so desperate?
If it were placed among human miners, it would not be impossible, but unimaginable.
"Blast! Blast! Blast!"
Accompanied by a barking sound from the kobold.
The kobolds on the entire construction site picked up their tools, huffed and puffed, and then retreated from the construction site within a few dozen seconds. They were numerous but not chaotic, as if they all knew what they were supposed to do.
Accompanied by a series of muffled sounds, several obstructing boulders on the Kotou artificial land and a mountain blocking the road cracked at the same time, and streams of white gas with an acidic smell came out from them.
After waiting for a minute or two, the kobolds roared again and rushed back pulling more than a dozen small carts, gravel for gravel, loading carts for loading stones, and carts for push carts.
The division of labor is very clear.
It didn't take long for the road to be cleared again and all the gravel dumped into a narrow area for widening.
This scene made Shanobah dumbfounded.
The kobolds are using alchemy bombs to clear the way!
This is simply a rare treasure.
If it were used for mining, wouldn't the iron ore mining speed be amazing?
wrong.
It is impossible for those old miners not to understand things that I can understand at a glance, and they have probably been used in daily mining.
Now we are just applying mining methods to road construction.
These kobolds are so professional in building roads, and they must be even more professional in mining.
At this moment, Shanobah's heart was burning.
Why hadn't she noticed before that the little guys all over the mountains and plains in the rocky fields were so capable?
If I had known earlier, I would have definitely greeted a lot of people with my Dragonborn status.
No, ten years ago.
There once was a pack of kobolds who served me as their master, but they were extremely stupid. At best, they could only give me some game every day, and they couldn't even clean the cave.
After that temporary residence was abandoned, I no longer wanted to deal with these noisy little guys.
Perhaps, at that time, the stupid image of kobolds was engraved in his cognition, and he usually treated them like weeds on the roadside without giving them a second glance.
Shanobah excitedly transformed into a pterosaur again and soared into the sky.
There was a commotion among the kobold construction team below, and many kobolds became trembling with fear and almost knelt down.
This situation made Sanoba burst into a proud laugh, which turned into a deep roar in her mouth.
Although the Zhentarim is not a good thing, the plan is still relatively reliable.
Everyone knows that kobolds naturally worship dragons, and Shanoba understands this very well.
If she faced the dragon, her plan would definitely fail.
But facing the half-elf, she had an absolute advantage. It would only take a matter of minutes to wrest control of the kobold tribe from him.
Soon Shanobah arrived over the Black Well tribe and began to circle at low altitude.
This is her favorite tactic.
It can not only observe the enemy, guess their strength through the enemy's reaction, find their weak points, and easily defeat them.
She was also able to make use of her reputation as a vicious person in the past to create riots, break up without a fight, and abandon a bunch of cargo before running away. She often encountered caravans, and that kind of situation was what she liked to see the most.
But this time, she not only wanted to use her own evil reputation, but also the influence of the dragon's bloodline among the kobolds.
"Pterosaur! That's a pterosaur, everyone run."
"No, no, that's not an ordinary pterosaur. I recognize those wings. That's the black dragon girl... that vicious robber..."
"The Black Dragon Girl? Wasn't she already wiped out by Cormyr's battle mage task force? She had been in and out of the rock for a while, and why did she suddenly appear again? Could it be who resurrected her?"
"That's just a rumor. As long as the Battle Mage doesn't show her head publicly, we can't be sure. It's still unknown whether the Battle Mage has ever fought against her!"
"Isn't the black dragon girl always active in the west of the rocky land? Why did she suddenly come to the east?"
"You ask me, who am I asking? Hurry, hurry up, hide quickly, the kobolds will definitely deal with it."
…
"All non-combat professional kobolds must enter the mines. All combat professional kobolds must enter combat positions. They are not allowed to leave their posts without authorization. Those who leave their posts without authorization will be dealt with by military law."
"All ballistas and ballistae are in position. No firing is allowed without orders."
"All flight units are in position. No takeoff is allowed without orders."
The following reactions are polarizing.
The most panicked ones were the human merchants doing business here. Many of them were old people from the high road, and they recognized Shanobah's identity at a glance.
Many simply threw away their goods and got into nearby stone houses. Anyway, their goods were either various old grains or iron ore that had just been loaded onto the truck.
All of them were bulky and heavy goods, and no matter how much the pterosaur tossed them around, they couldn't even move a few cars.
Although these businessmen were hiding, they still peeked out vigilantly. They were very curious about how the Black Well tribe responded to this crisis.
The reaction of the kobolds was not only beyond Shanoba's expectation, but even beyond the expectations of the merchants.
They did cause quite a commotion, but they did not fall to their knees.
On the contrary, within just a few minutes, its ferocious claws were revealed.
Ten seven- to eight-meter-high police sentry stone towers simultaneously lifted their sunscreen camouflage cloth, revealing the large ballistas underneath.
This was only part of it. Some of the cave camouflage on the surrounding hillsides had also been removed, and ballistas were exposed, along with three large catapults.
Faced with this situation, not only Shanoba was startled, but she was secretly glad that she did not fall hastily.
Even the businessmen took a breath of cold air and cursed in their hearts. What kind of unscrupulous and black-hearted businessman would even sell such a destructive weapon to these kobolds?
Aren't they afraid that these weapons will suddenly be fired at them one day?
Fortunately! Fortunately! I am an honest businessman. Otherwise, I would have died without knowing how.
The location of these kobold ballistae is also quite unethical.
Not only was the inner square covered, but the outer square, which was the trade market, was also covered. Every transaction they made was covered by these ballistae.
In her mind, Shanobah warmly greeted the middle-aged woman and the Zhentarim behind her from top to bottom.
What a bullshit dark intelligence network, the best intelligence in the world.
They have air defense forces, so why don’t they find out such important information?
If she hadn't been cautious, she would have been shot into a sieve.
He just ran away in despair, but he was very unwilling to do so.
You didn't know it by looking at it, but now you know that the Black Well tribe is so unusual, so naturally you are hungry for someone else's body... no, the leader's position.
Judging from the number of caravans gathered at the opponent's door, it is not difficult to guess that this Heijing tribe is making a fortune every day.
This is much faster than robbery.
She must find a way to seize this gold mine. This will be the biggest business deal in her life. Once successful, she can enjoy the profits for the rest of her life.
How should I grab it?
Zhentarim?
Hey!
That's a group of devils who eat people without spitting out their bones.
Let’s not talk about whether the other party is willing to spend a lot of money. Even if he does spend a lot of money to take down this iron mine, he probably won’t even be able to drink soup. The real big head will be taken away by the dark intelligence network.
Moreover, in the rocky land, the opponent, a powerful foreign dragon, still has to look at the local snake, Cormyr.
Those war mages don't interfere much in petty fights, but they will not sit idly by if they seriously threaten the High Road, especially the Zhentarim, an evil organization that is ambitious and well-known to everyone.
This is a last resort, a last resort.
You still have to rely on yourself for everything.
Since a half-elf can gather so many kobolds with his own strength, it makes no sense that he, a dragonborn, cannot do this. He will wait until he gathers an army of kobolds and then kill them back.
