After Liu Zhen's incident, the caravan's journey finally went smoothly.
On the afternoon of the third day after entering the gravel wasteland, the caravan successfully arrived at the last checkpoint before Lu Gaoyin - Red River City (Oasis Satellite City).
Warev and Kane threw Liu Zhen, who was still in a coma, to the checkpoint garrison, and casually made up a reason to excuse him. Under Kane's illustrious reputation, these Lu Gaoyin gangs
The security forces simply did not dare to question their explanation which was full of flaws.
Liu Zhen dared to be so rude to Kane before, mainly because he had the support of the Lu Gaoyin royal family behind him.
But instead of these little soldiers...
What virtue and ability do they have that dare to question "Wise Kane"?
The caravan stayed in Red River City for a day, mainly because the caravan had to sort out the cargo list and various business orders.
Also, the two previous ones, a medium-sized caravan and a small-sized caravan that had been following Warrif's caravan, also said goodbye at this moment.
Warev didn't care, nodded and let them go, which made Xue Hua on the side look a little confused. It looked like they were almost at their destination. Wouldn't it be better to go to the city together tomorrow morning?
Warev saw his doubts and explained to him with a smile.
It turns out that not all caravans heading to the East have the ultimate destination of the giant city of Lu Gaoyin. There are many opportunities in Lu Gaoyin, but the various costs are also high.
The business tax rate is 20 to 30% higher than that of other surrounding small towns.
There are many small and medium-sized caravans who simply cannot afford such high costs. Sometimes the profits they make from a business trip that takes huge risks are not enough to cover the living expenses of the caravan crews in Lugaoin City for a week.
Coupled with the more severe commercial strife in Lugaoyin City, etc.
All this means that small and medium-sized caravans have no competitive capital at all.
Therefore, most of the targets of these small and medium-sized caravans are around Lugaoyin, an oasis satellite city similar to the Red River City where they are now. The costs of this kind of place are much lower, and the taxes are also lower.
It is enough for these caravans to earn enough funds to slowly develop themselves after selling their goods.
Warev's explanation made Xue Hua even more curious.
What's going on? Lu Gaoyin in the game seems to be an isolated city?
Why does Warev mean that the entire gravel wasteland has been occupied by human cities?
When he asked this question, Warev couldn't help laughing.
He laughed until Xue Hua's face turned red and he was on the verge of anger. The Arab drunkard wearing a blue turban slowly opened his mouth and explained to him Lu Gaoyin, a city in the hinterland of mankind, and the defense of Andali.
What a big difference there is between the Rogge camp where I tried to attack eastward.
In reality, Lugoin is a huge desert kingdom that covers an area of more than 3,000 square kilometers and occupies the entire southeastern corner of the Aranok Desert.
Due to the favorable geographical environment, there are barrier mountains to the west to prevent the invasion of demons, the Nobile Sea to the east, and the endless twin seas to the south, so the trade of the Kingdom of Lugaoin is very prosperous, and the population density is also quite high.
Therefore, Lu Gaoyin, a huge city alone, cannot accommodate so many people anyway.
Therefore, the Lu Gaoyin royal family later took the lead and began to build a new oasis satellite city on the entire gravel wasteland.
After these small towns were established, they were directly managed by political affairs officers sent by Lu Gaoyin. These local political affairs officers had the power to determine the amount of local taxes and form local guards to protect the satellite cities from monsters. This system is a bit like Xue Hua's
In the previous life, Country M had a federal governorship system, but it was still very different in terms of rights, selection methods and management areas.
Each satellite city must pay taxes to the Lugaoyin royal family three times a year, which can be paid in the form of grain or gold coins.
Everything else besides this is the responsibility of the administrative officers who manage the satellite cities themselves.
Of course, if the satellite city is attacked by an irresistible natural disaster, including but not limited to a monster swarm exceeding 5,000, a flying monster swarm exceeding 3,000, and the legendary black sand storm, the administrative officer has the right and obligation to report to Lu
Gao Yin asked for help.
Lu Gaoyin also has the right and obligation to immediately dispatch appropriate rescue forces to the satellite city seeking help.
Under this system, human power quickly began to expand rapidly on the gravel wasteland, and this expansion even affected the rebirth pattern of monsters.
Many monsters now no longer respawn in human cities that have been established for a long time, but choose to avoid areas with frequent human activities.
Even in the edge areas of the gravel wasteland, some monsters have been forced to cross the border, leave the gravel wasteland, and move to more distant dry highlands.
Of course, the dry highlands here do not refer to the barren land above Kejistan, but to a huge and extremely dry sand dune further south in the gravel wasteland.
The adventure journey of human professionals now begins in this sand dune.
After listening to Warev's description of Lu Gaoyin's situation in reality, Xue Hua was in a daze for a long time before slowly breaking away from the unreality.
Originally, Xue Hua had noticed some differences between this world and the shelter world in the game a long time ago, but he really didn't expect that his footsteps had only reached Lu Gaoyin. This difference
It suddenly magnified in front of his eyes.
Lugaoyin, which was originally just an isolated city in the game, has now become a huge human kingdom, and it also implements a federal governorship system very similar to Country M.
The rubble wasteland that was originally the first map of the second act in the game has now become the territory of the human kingdom.
The power of hell is almost completely undisplayed here. The evil forces seem to have been completely cut off by the mountains in the west and the ocean in the east and south.
Before leaving Rogge Camp, Akara told him more than once that Lugaoin is one of the heartlands of mankind and one of the few remaining prosperous cities and trade hubs of mankind.
But Xue Hua never thought that with the hell army pressing so hard, there would be such a powerful power hidden in the human heart.
According to Warev, who started chatting, there are no less than twenty large caravans on the sea in Lugaoin alone. These caravans reach as far as Shartra Island in the south, Datta Dura in the north, and even as far away as
The mysterious mystics on the Immortal Fortress also have trade relations with them.
In addition to the north-south route, these merchant fleets have also established trade routes along the western coastline with King's Harbor and Westmar, the only cities in the west that can resist the invasion of the Hell Legion, to Kurast and Jiji, which are in difficult situations in the eastern wetlands.
·Kul has transported war supplies.
They even reached the legendary "Urui City" through the inland waterway in the wetlands, the legendary city that connected heaven and hell and the hometown of the necromancer.
Among the ports in the entire world, only the wasteland-like land of fear and the fortress built on the land of fear, the Barrier Fortress, are areas that these caravans have never reached. That area is polluted by the terrifying hell energy.
, has become a terrible no man's land.
In addition to the barrier fortress, the only other human castle left in that area is the barbarian's hometown, the fortress built on the sacred mountain of Arreat - Harrogath.
