On the seventeenth day after the New Year, Gresu led his men and disembarked from the ship at the pier outside Tiragarde Castle with great satisfaction. He looked at the fleet of ships lined up in the sea outside the pier, preparing to berth in order, and he felt extremely happy.
The ground is comfortable.
He did have reason to be happy, because for his active operations in the Kalimdor continent in the past two years, his boss, the owner of the nominal operating rights of the Storm Mine and the company's shareholder Lubuluk, praised him.
Although the Mulgore mine was lost, Gresu has opened up a new profitable business for the company, the arms trade, which makes it worthwhile for the company's senior executives to ignore the small mistakes Gresu has made. After all, in the venture capital company
In the history of business development, it is common to compete for the ownership of a mine.
Gresu was not so excited just to be praised by the puppet installed by the venture capital company president and trading magnate Mogul Razdunk. There were two reasons why he was really excited. First, due to his outstanding performance, he
Once again acquired a small stake in the company's many businesses on the continent of Kalimdor.
Second, Gazruin, the operator of the Pumice Mine, decided to leave. The reason for leaving was simple. Gresu proposed to the company's senior management to integrate the various mines in the Stonetalon Mountains and the Barrens, mainly the Wind Mine.
hole to facilitate the expansion of the Black Wolf Lake Arsenal in the new year.
Therefore, the company's top management jointly put pressure on Gazruin and forcibly purchased the small stakes in the pumice mine and the blast mine owned by Gazruin at a premium.
As for why the venture capital company is so optimistic about Black Wolf Lake, it is because the orc army is attacking detention centers in the northern part of the Eastern Kingdom continent to rescue the imprisoned compatriots. The war has been going on for nearly two years, and it is still unclear when it will end.
.
Moreover, at the beginning of the new year, an invasion of cave monsters broke out in Gnomeregan, the main city of the dwarf race. The gnomes were forced to abandon part of the city and fought tenaciously against the invaders.
Throughout the world of Azeroth, in terms of technology, or in terms of arms trade, the goblins' biggest competitors have always been the gnomes. Now that the gnomes are in trouble, it is time for the goblins to march into the arms field.
Previously, the venture capital company had been mainly engaged in forestry and mining, and the arms trade was dominated by corporate organizations owned by several other goblin trade kings. Now Gresu has opened up a little situation in the continent of Kalimdor, and the company executives also want to obtain
More profits.
Moreover, the well-informed goblins also learned that in the far north, a spreading plague broke out in the human kingdom of Lordaeron. The goblins were keenly aware that a war on another battlefield might be about to break out.
Therefore, the company regarded Storm Valley as more important and once again hired a large number of dwarf blacksmiths and goblin workers to go to the continent of Kalimdor to support Gresu's business.
However, due to the relationship between Ironforge and Gnomeregan, the Bronzebeard dwarves chose to support their race's closest partners, the dwarves. Therefore, the venture capital company did not continue to employ the Bronzebeard dwarves, but found the people of the Kingdom of Thaurissan.
Dark iron dwarves.
With a mighty team, Gresu first went to the pumice mine and officially took over this small mine, which had been in a state of half-dead state. The representative elected by the company's senior management, the goblin Kobo Plugg, also officially became the pumice mine.
New supervisor.
Gresu even secretly met with the Kokar centaur in the north of Thorn Ridge and negotiated a trade, and then he came from Ashenvale to Gale Valley in a hurry.
However, at the base camp of the Cliff Lake logging team, he received a message: five days ago, the logging team transported a batch of supplies to Black Wolf Lake and Gale Wind Mine in accordance with the long-standing regulations, but the transport team did not return immediately.
Gresu frowned and cursed: "I have only returned to the company to report on business for a few days, but your management is so lax! It seems that you are not going to take the rewards and dividends this year!"
He is a goblin with a strong desire for control. He thought that after he left, Gale Valley would still proceed in an orderly manner according to his arrangements. But now it seems that this group of people is really too lax and lazy.
So Gresu just rested for one night, and led his men to Black Wolf Lake the next day. He was going to severely reprimand the director of the transportation team, and also fine them their wages!
Outside the jackal camp, this dilapidated camp has now changed its appearance. The tents of the jackals have been dismantled, and the jackals living here have been moved to the back of the Black Wolf Lake camp, which is to the south of Black Wolf Lake.
Along the forest road, Prell had ordered his soldiers to build two wooden fence walls, dig four trenches, and use the excavated soil to pile up a short earth beam.
No matter how much the logging team destroys the forest in the Gale Valley, there is only one road in the valley that connects Cliff Lake to Black Wolf Lake. This is the road Gresu must pass when returning.
Pandaren Lao Chen has already transported a batch of supplies from Thresh Kingdom to Gale Wind Mine, mainly food and some iron ingots, as well as a small amount of weapons. Meri Dongfeng did not stay, and he was too lazy to participate in Thresh Kingdom next.
Join the tauren in the war against venture capital companies, and prepare to go back and continue to teach Med'an.
Prell shamelessly asked the archmage to take some time to guide the kobold and harpy mages who stayed in Rolling Rock Canyon. The archmage who had lived for more than three thousand years ignored him and followed him.
The returning convoy left.
Lexa was very unhappy and said: "That's why I hate human mages. They always act like they are superior to others, which makes it really hard for people to get close to them!" Prell laughed: "People who are capable are always the best.
There is capital to be proud of.”
He didn't like Merry Dongfeng's attitude either, but thinking of the money and goods sent by Medivh, he held his nose and endured it.
Forcibly occupying the Black Wolf Lake camp was a huge gain for Prell. Gresu had previously negotiated a deal with the centaurs in Desolation, but the delivery had not yet been made, so they all took advantage of Prell.
Weapons suitable for centaurs are a little too big for kobolds, and a little too small for tauren, but they are still weapons, so long as they can be used.
Gresu is a thief. He does not produce armor. Instead, he specializes in producing weapons that are easy to make, such as long swords, throwing spears, spears, flails, daggers, arrows, and short bows. There are many types of these weapons, which can satisfy almost everyone.
needs of each race.
Prell just selected fifty ogres, who used maces as weapons and wore leather armor. The leather and cloth on the chest were simply sewn together with an iron plate to serve as the ogre's plate armor, and then
He gave command of the small team to Rexxar.
As for the gnolls, one hundred and fifty people were selected, all of whom served as archers to supplement the kobold musketeers. He personally commanded them, with the gnoll mage Hayahem as his deputy.
Time was running out, so Gonzalo led the tauren and raptor druids to continue their investigation. The news of Gresu's fleet had already been sent back before it even docked.
Therefore, Prell had to select some of the newly surrendered ogres and jackals as additional troops and units, because he knew that by taking down the Storm Mine and seizing Black Wolf Lake, he was just using the venture capital company to spend the New Year to defend the void.
A kind of luck.
When Gresu reacts, the real war will begin!
For this reason, Prell has been staying at the Black Wolf Lake camp these days. Tyros Stonebeard is very honest. He continues to smelt and forge with a few Bronzebeard dwarf blacksmiths, including some goblins and jackal apprentices.
Under the supervision of the tauren soldiers, work resumed.
Prell continued to make muskets and bullets, because the warehouse at Black Wolf Lake camp stored a lot of tin ore and other materials needed for forging, and he planned to expand the scale of the musketeers as much as possible.
Fezquez quickly adapted to his new role. Player promised him that he would guarantee the dividend rights of the Gale Wind Mine and made a big deal, promising to give Fezquez a certain share of the Black Wolf Lake industry.
Dividend rights.
Fezquez immediately took on the new role. He had no psychological barriers to betraying Gresu. Anyway, from the beginning, he was not from the venture capital company, but a subordinate and representative of Mr. Gazruin.
So three hundred muskets were "searched" by Fitzkus. Prell immediately selected three hundred kobolds from the Gale Mine, concentrated them in the northeast of the mine, and trained them roughly for a few days, and then immediately
On the battlefield.
Naturally, the Black Wolf Lake camp cannot produce bullets. Gresu has very strict control over muskets and bullets, so the huge amount of ammunition consumption has to rely on Prell.
Soon, two more goblin craftsmen who were persuaded by Fizzix said that they could also make bullets and explosives, so Prell formed a team and the three of them began to work hard on making them.
How to defend and counterattack, these military affairs have to be left to Rexxa and Magatha. The two people of Horror Totem also know that Prell has no other skills. Under the current situation, the production of weapons and ammunition is obviously more important.
While busy, Prell also re-determined the personnel arrangements for the daily operations of the Gale Wind Mine. His father once again became the general management foreman, responsible for the daily mineral production, and he also patrolled and guarded the mine.
He gave it to his father.
After a few tense days, Gresu and his convoy appeared on the northwest road of the Jackal camp. Looking at the quiet camp from a distance, he vaguely felt that something was wrong.
Most of the people living in the jackal camp were women and children. The camp had always been very noisy with the running and playing jackal children. But now, he could not hear any movement, and it seemed that there was something strange about the road outside the camp.
Soon he saw the wooden fence outside the camp and an earthen beam that surrounded half of the camp. Gresu cautiously ordered the convoy to pause, and then sent a team of jackals to inspect the specific situation.
"TMD!" Prell cursed while hiding behind the beam. Gonzalo had reported the news of the arrival of Gresu's convoy early. Prell also planned to trick Gresu into entering the camp to ambush him.
One hand.
Now it seems that Gresu is obviously not stupid enough to fall into the trap so easily. Seeing that the group of gnolls has approached the wooden fence, Rexxar asked: "What should I do?"
Of course he knew what to do, but after all, Prell still needed to give the order. "Hit!" Prell simply gave the order. The fortification work outside the camp could not be concealed, so he might as well just do it!
A group of kobold soldiers suddenly emerged from the trench behind the wooden fence and fired a round of volleys of guns. There was also a group of jackal shooters, under Prell's instructions, reluctantly fired a round of sparse arrows.
rain.
Most of the sent gnolls were immediately shot to the ground, and the remaining few rolled and crawled back in embarrassment.
"Do you want to rebel?" Gresu hid behind the steel shield set up by the Dark Iron dwarves. A considerate human mage mercenary applied the "amplification technique" to him, and the goblin yelled angrily.
"Aha, Mr. Gresu, we meet again! I forgot to tell you the good news. The Storm Mine is back in the hands of our kobolds, and the Black Wolf Lake camp is also ours!"
Prell simply stood up, and Lestalen also cast the "Amplification Technique" on him, and he shouted at Gresu.
Seeing Preel standing up through the telescope, Gresu's body shook violently, his head buzzed, and the angry goblin shouted: "It's you! Preel! Despicable kobolds! You guys
How dare you do this! I will kill you all! Kill you and all your disgusting compatriots! Kill you and your accomplices and hang them all over the forest! Let the corpses of you bastards become food for deep moss spiders
