The outermost layer of the living area outside the mine is a low wooden fence. The gravel and soil transported from the mine are piled outside the fence on the side of the hillside by the kobolds under the command of the goblins.
Gazruin spent a lot of money to build a special track for transporting ore, but the track was only built not far from the entrance of the cave. To unload the ore, gravel and soil on the mine cart, the kobolds still need to rely on their physical strength.
Work.
This is not because Gazruin is squeezing the kobolds' physical strength, nor is it the obstruction of other shareholders of the venture capital company. It is simply because the cost of transporting the finished rails, minecarts and installing them is too high and not easy.
These heavy supplies need to be produced and shipped by the goblins from Kozan Island, and then "escorted" by the warships of Kul Tiras, a maritime military power that has begun to penetrate into the continent of Kalimdor, and paid a lump sum to the pirates in the South China Sea.
After paying the travel expenses, we will rest briefly in the Echo Islands area and unload at the beach of Razor Ridge.
Then you need to pass through the territory of the wild boars, cross the north of the Barrens, and take the mountain trail from the southeast of the Stonetalon Mountains, passing through the two canyons of Rolling Rock and Hisel, and passing through the "Spider Web Trail" named by the goblins.
The forest road leads from a narrow mountain pass into the windy valley.
Like the kobolds, the quilboars are also an indigenous intelligent race with a large population. Like all indigenous people, they are extremely exclusive.
Fortunately, the wild boar people can at least communicate. The wild boar people who are engaged in herding, simple planting and breeding need to trade with the goblins who are running around the world, so in the Razor Ridge area, at least there is no need to worry about the wild boar people suddenly turning their backs.
The real danger is another notorious intelligent race: harpies. According to the goblins, these races with delicate faces and figures like night elves, flying at low altitudes with a pair of colorful wings on their backs, are the most shameless in the world.
Robbers and the most obscene gangsters.
Harpies belong to a matriarchal clan society. They have their own language and living habits. It is said that their ancestor is the messenger of the night elves' highest belief, the moon god Elune, the crow demigod Avanna.
But there are also some harpy clans that insist that their race and bloodline come from the high elves in ancient times. Because the queen of the high elves, Azshara, has endless desire for magical energy, she attracted the Lord of the Burning Legion, the fallen bronze titan Sasha.
Sargeras, and Azshara forced her people to change their beliefs and worship Sargeras like she did. This caused some highborne dissatisfaction, and they began to rebel against the queen.
So the queen used powerful magical power to curse, punish and expel these upper-class elves, turning them into half-elves and half-bird monsters, which are now the harpies.
This statement made the night elves and blood elves extremely dissatisfied, but due to the discrimination against the harpies by other intelligent races, this statement became the harpies' own entertainment.
In the past two years, in addition to the harpies who are almost all over the northern part of the Barrens, another force has broken in, and that is the centaurs who originated from the Desolate Land.
This race, born to be light cavalry and archers, quickly spread throughout half of the continent for its cruel, violent, and warlike reputation.
I heard that the peace-loving tauren race has been forced to migrate from the Desolate Land, and a centaur tribe following the tauren has appeared in the south of the Barrens.
These centaurs, who are good at running, even rushed to the vicinity of the Sweetwater Oasis. However, due to their arrival triggering strong resistance from the local indigenous wild boar people and harpies, coupled with the ferocious beasts of the Barrens, the centaurs have not yet broken in.
Stonetalon Mountains.
However, the goblin's convoy still encountered two centaur attacks. The first time all the people in the convoy of more than 60 were killed, and the second time the convoy of more than 170 people were also killed.
As a result, the people who were originally added to the logging team died in this way. It is said that Capelan was furious, and Gazrouin also suffered heavy losses because a cart of crude gold ore he secretly sent out was robbed by the centaurs.
For the goblins, they are willing to trade with any race, but only if they cannot offend them. This time the centaur's evil deeds obviously offended the venture capital company, so several shareholders who suffered heavy losses, including Capelan, came out.
He spent a large amount of money and hired the South Sea Pirates, including part of the regular navy of the Kingdom of Kul Tiras, to conduct an encirclement and suppression of the centaurs in the north of the Barrens.
So just like that, the news that Gazrouin had hidden the gold mine in the Gale Mine for five years was discovered, which made the shareholders of the venture capital company go crazy.
While Prell continued to silently slaughter the deep moss spiders, Gazruin was also in a state of distress. In terms of personal wealth alone, he could only be regarded as the average among many goblin merchants, although he had far more than the average goblin merchant.
They have good reputation and good reputation, but in front of gold, his good reputation is worthless.
Capelan, who has always been jealous, stood firmly by Gazrouin this time. The reason is simple. Although he thinks he has done his best, the fat-bellied heads at the venture capital company headquarters feel that he leads
The progress of the logging team was too slow, and there were constant voices of dissatisfaction with him.
Kapellan was in trouble. Although he was still envious of Gazruin's good luck, his friend was in trouble. Both of them were also under pressure from other shareholders at the company headquarters, so Kapellan did not hesitate to treat Gazruin.
Expressed strong support.
So suddenly, the Storm Valley Logging Team Base and the Storm Mine ushered in waves of goblin traders and their guards.
The two-story wooden building where Gazruin's office is located is brightly lit all night, and at least a hundred goblin guards are guarding the surroundings every day.
In the end, the venture capital company convened a general meeting of the Kalimdor Division. After three days of closed-door arguments and discussions, the matter was finally made clear.
Gazruin was promoted to deputy director of the mining division of the venture capital company, and became a middle-level leader of the company from a non-staff businessman. The operating rights of the Gale Mine were transferred to another goblin shareholder, Lubuluk.
Zluin obtained the right to operate the pumice mine.
The so-called pumice mine is located near the swamp where the venture capital company discovered oil in the Barrens. The swamp was named Silt Swamp by the goblins. In the mountains near the Raging River, inspired by Gazruin, the goblins united
The dwarves explored and opened up an iron ore cave with moderate yields.
As for Capellan, he was jointly impeached by other shareholders and sadly left the Storm Valley logging team, and the leadership was handed over to the goblin businessman Gresu. But after all, Capellan had a strong background, so he was transferred to Ashenvale to continue his new pioneering career.
.
All these decisions were made by the goblin businessmen of the venture capital company behind closed doors, while the kobolds who had the most direct relationship with the Gale Mine were ignored by all the goblins.
In fact, Gazrouin once tried to speak for the kobolds, but his speech was ultimately blocked because it was Rubluk who stopped him from speaking. And anyone with a discerning eye knows that this Lubluk is actually a venture capital company
President, the puppet installed by the trading magnate Mogul Razdunk in the Kalimdor Division.
Regarding all the changes in the mine, the goblins hid the news very well, or in other words, from the beginning, no one really cared about the opinions of these kobolds who had developed the greatest strength for the construction of the mine.
The goblins always move very quickly. Gazruin convened a meeting of all kobolds and solemnly introduced his successor, the goblin Gresu.
As Mogul Razdunk's puppet, Lubruk naturally would not come to work in the mine in person, so he proposed at the division meeting to directly merge the leadership teams of the Storm Valley Logging Team and the Storm Mine.
1, and then manage all affairs with Gresu as the overall leader.
Gazrouin had nothing to say about this. He had already made enough money and successfully entered the middle management of the company. Now that he had chosen to leave, he no longer had the right to dictate to his successor.
So under the surprised gaze of the kobolds, Gazruin left the Gale Mine. His mood was a bit complicated. He was happy for his promotion, but also felt guilty for breaking his agreement with the kobolds.
Gresu was not a newbie. In fact, he had been in charge of the affairs of the logging team as Capellan's deputy before this, so he knew Gazruin's policies clearly.
Seeing Gazruin leave, Gresu said slowly to the kobolds who were full of anxiety and expectation: "I think the agreement between Gazruin and you needs to be redefined. It is a bit inappropriate.
We need to re-formulate the terms!”
Gaspar looked around, stood up and said loudly: "We are here to work for Mr. Gazrouin in accordance with the agreement with him. Our cooperation has always been very pleasant over the years. I think Mr. Gresu
Re-formulating the contract is a serious violation of the spirit of the contract and a blasphemy to the sacred contract that the goblins have believed in for life! I strongly oppose it!"
Listening to Gaspar speaking the familiar business language of goblins in skilled goblin language, Gresu suddenly felt that it was ridiculous, so he burst out laughing: "Money is everything! Gaspar, I hope you understand something
, the management rights of the Gale Mine were transferred from Gazruin to myself, which means that the contract between Gazruin and you is automatically invalidated. I think Gazruin made this agreement with you all at the beginning!"
He looked at the kobolds who were about to move with undisguised discriminatory eyes, and said loudly: "The transfer of management rights means the reaffirmation of the contract. Seeing that you have contributed a lot, I am happy to continue to employ you to work for me. Okay.
Now, Gaspar, go and gather your elders, and I will read you a new covenant."
