At the southern end of the Bloody Continent, in a forest called the Red Sea Forest, a large group of giant-toothed lizards were crawling quickly on the ground.
The Red Sea Forest is located at the southern end of the continent, at the junction of the Alza Kingdom and the Hog Kingdom. It is a huge area. Gnoll merchants traveling between the two countries must pass through the Red Sea Forest every year.
The Red Sea Forest appeared a long time ago and existed when the ancestors of the Gnoll Kingdom moved to the southern part of the continent. It can be said that the history of the Red Sea Forest is longer than the history of the Gnolls.
As for why this forest is called the Red Sea Forest, it is because there is basically only one kind of tree growing in the Red Sea Forest, called the red blood tree.
The reason why it is called the red blood tree is not because the tree can bleed red blood, but because its sap is red. Of course, not only the sap of the red blood tree is red, but the leaves are also red, and the branches are dark red.
The red blood tree is domineering by nature, and it is difficult for other tree species to survive next to it. In addition, the sap of the red blood tree is slightly toxic and cannot be used. Over time, this area developed into a forest and gradually expanded.
The continuous red blood trees are like a red ocean, forming a sharp contrast with the deep blue Black Sea at the southern end.
The Megalodon is a rare species of lizard unique to the Gnoll Kingdom. It has a huge body. When it is on all fours, it is only a little shorter than an ordinary horse. Its whole body is wrapped in blue-black scales, and its defense power is amazing. The head of the Megalodon is as big as
The head of an ordinary horse is about the same size, and its mouth is full of sharp white giant teeth. It has light red eyes on both sides of its head.
The Megalodon is also a precious mount in the Gnoll Kingdom. After a powerful Gnoll warrior surrenders his Gnoll, he will become the Gnoll Kingdom's unique Gnoll Cavalry.
However, due to the sparse number of giant lizards and their bad tempers, there are not many gnoll giant lizard cavalry in each kingdom. They are the property of large gnoll tribes, but only large tribes can afford to raise giant lizards.
At this time, sitting on the Megalodon Lizard were the people from the Black Mane Tribe who set out for the Hog Kingdom.
Among them, Tessirel, the leader of the Blackmane Tribe, was sitting at the front of the team. The giant-toothed lizard he sat on was more than a circle larger than the other giant-toothed lizards, and was a full head taller.
Texiril was deeply aware of the importance of this trip to the Hog Kingdom. Just in case Texirel gave up the idea of sending other members of the tribe there, he decided to lead the team to the Hog Kingdom himself.
In order to ensure the safety of the forty bloodline fruits in his hands, and to successfully bring back the purchased wolf belly boat, Tessiriel took out one of the tribe's important combat forces, the giant lizard cavalry, a total of five hundred.
The five hundred giant lizard cavalry are an important combat force of the Black Mane Tribe. In order for this transaction to go smoothly, the Black Mane Tribe also spent money. If these five hundred giant lizard cavalry were lost in the Hog Kingdom, the Black Mane Tribe would definitely be severely damaged.
.
Fortunately, the Black Mane Tribe’s trip to Hog to trade is not without benefits. After discussion, once the Black Mane Tribe brings the wolf belly boat back from the Hog Kingdom, the Green Mane Tribe, the Red Mane Tribe and the royal family’s Golden Mane Tribe will all
A portion of your own tribe's troop quota will be allocated to the Blackmane tribe.
Because even if the deal is completed, the number of wolf belly ships obtained is limited, and the four major tribes all have a large number of sufficient jackal warriors, so in order to avoid competition, the four major tribes negotiated the quota of each tribe's troops.
The royal family's Golden Mane tribe monopolizes 30% of the troop quota, and the remaining 70% is equally divided among the other three large tribes, with each tribe accounting for approximately 23%.
In other words, once 10,000 gnolls are dispatched, the Blackmane tribe can send 2,300 people by boat to the Principality of Kane to plunder food and wealth. Half of the plundered food wealth can be kept, and the other half can be handed over to the king.
Used to relieve other small tribes.
If this transaction is successful, the other three tribes will have to hand over a certain amount of troops to the Blackmane tribe.
The reason why Texirel readily accepted this task was because Texirel had a special relationship with the Bloodfang Tribe, one of the seven major tribes in the Hog Kingdom. Texirel married his sister to
Francis, the leader of the Bloodfang tribe, is his wife.
The three great jackal kingdoms have been established for a long time. Although they no longer invade each other on a large scale, small-scale battles are inevitable. This phenomenon is similar to that of the human countries on the mainland. Therefore, if you want to easily defeat King Hog
It is not easy to buy the precious wolf belly boat in China, but due to the relationship with Francis, it is much easier to go from Texiril.
The other three large tribes in the Alza Kingdom also know about the relationship between Texiril and the Bloodfang Tribe. This is also the reason why the other three tribes agreed to Texiril's departure, just like the ten wolf-belly ships purchased before.
More than five hundred giant lizards are heading towards the Hog Kingdom. In addition to the five hundred giant-toothed lizards being ridden by jackals, there are also dozens of them used to drag food and water. At this time, Tesiri in front
You were talking to a jackal next to you.
This Gnoll is very different from other Gnoll warriors at first glance. It is larger than many Gnoll warriors, but what is covered in the deep hair is not solid muscles, but a pile of compost meat.
This guy was kidnapped by Texiril. This fat jackal is a famous businessman in the Red Sea Forest. He travels between the two countries all year round and is very familiar with the Red Sea Forest.
At this point, I have to explain that the Red Sea Forest is not as safe and harmless as it looks. Since there is only one kind of tree growing in the Red Sea Forest, there is no grass growing in the forest. From a distance, they are all the same red blood.
Once you get deep into the tree, if you are not familiar with the Red Sea Forest, there is a high probability that you will lose your way.
I remember that the ten wolf-belly ships of the Alza Kingdom were bought by Texirel after passing through the Red Sea Forest in the same way.
This fat jackal, who looked very different, was named Brad. At this time, Brad felt very regretful. If he had known better, he should not be greedy and should not have gone to that small tribe to trade.
Originally, he had already traded enough blood worm eggs with other small tribes, but he was greedy and wanted to trade more blood worm eggs. More blood worm eggs meant more golden dragons. Going to that small tribe's
Brad was caught red-handed by Texirel, who was looking for a businessman.
Originally, since the gnolls did not know how to mint coins, they could only barter during transactions. However, when they plundered human territory, they would always harvest a large amount of human currency, gold dragons, silver deer and copper fish.
It's a pity that these currencies have no value in the Jackal territory and can only gather dust in the Jackal territory. At this time, human smugglers appeared. They smuggled a large number of urgently needed goods from the human territory to the Jackal territory.
Territory, secretly trade with the gnolls, such as iron, food, cloth, etc., and earn the price difference by exchanging goods with the gnolls for useless human currency.
Because the benefits are so huge, a large number of nobles often get involved privately.
