Chapter 76 Ladakh Mountains
In order to develop the crystal mine promised by Genoa as soon as possible and to ensure greater benefits in the town of Wesson, Haile Bailey and Yang Ling left in a hurry after plotting, preparing to make early arrangements after returning to the Levinsa Alliance.
Next, she will send people to the Ross Empire to find Genoa to secure the crystal mine, and send people to the Bantu Empire to deal with it to resolve the conflict between the Bantu Empire and Wesen Town. If the Bantu Empire sends a large army to attack Wesen Town, then her piece of
All your hard work will be in vain.
According to the preliminary agreement, the Bullard Chamber of Commerce under Haile Bailey will fully support the development of Wesen Town and provide various necessary manpower and material resources. In return, Wesen Town will provide future timber, ore and crystal cores, etc.
resources, Brad Trading Company will have the right of first refusal.
In addition, the Bullard Chamber of Commerce will build a large port at the seaport south of Weisen Town. After completion, it will receive half of the proceeds.
Building a large port will definitely not make much money in the short term, and may even result in losses; but in the long term, with the rich resources of Weisen Town, as long as the access is opened, there will be an endless stream of caravans coming and going. It will definitely be
A sure-profit deal.
Haile Bailey will definitely make a profit, and Yang Ling will not suffer any loss. Weisen Town is now almost empty of 200 yuan. With the strong support of the Bullard Chamber of Commerce, it will greatly accelerate the speed of development. The agreement with Haier Bailey,
Basically it can be said to be a win-win deal, everyone is happy.
The Bullard Chamber of Commerce is strong, but Yang Ling does not want to rely entirely on the assistance of others. The only way to develop its power is to firmly control Weisen Town in its own hands.
After the situation stabilized, he decisively ordered the army to be expanded to two hundred people. One hundred barbarians and one hundred elf archers, with Agusu as the general, followed him out to suppress the bandits.
Cassie led eight hundred warriors to garrison at Alashankou and was responsible for the construction of the fortress; Gude led the remaining warriors to garrison, responsible for frightening more and more mercenaries and adventurers, and responsible for the exploration of resources and the collection of intelligence. As for
The reconstruction of the tavern, the daily management of the dwarf weapons shop and the Shangri-La Hotel were all left to the old butler Mulberry.
Two days ago, Goode brought a large number of gifts to the elves, dwarves and barbarian tribes, recruiting 150 elves, 100 dwarves and 200 barbarians, plus 350 selected in the town.
Orion has recruited a total of 800 guards. Although the number is not very large, it is enough to intimidate ordinary mercenaries and adventurers.
After preparations were made, Yang Ling led his personal guards to set off. According to Parrot's information, there were countless indigenous tribes scattered near the Ladakh Mountains. There were dirty goblins, bloodthirsty ogres, and ferocious orcs...
, there are countless different tribes.
By exterminating the indigenous people near the Ladakh Mountains, there will basically be no threat from bandits from Weisen Town to the Alashan Pass. At that time, we can concentrate our forces to deal with the indigenous people outside the Alashan Pass.
The Ladakh Mountains are undulating, with each mountain higher than the other. As you walk along the trade road, you will encounter twists and turns from time to time. No one can count how many hills there are, let alone how many indigenous people there are.
Every winter, the hungry natives would fight, and passing caravans would often bear the brunt. Because of this, every caravan that went to Weisen Town had to recruit a large group of mercenaries to protect them, seriously affecting the caravan's safety.
Profits and enthusiasm, and in turn affected the development of the town of Wiesen.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Yang Ling and his party disguised themselves as a small, slow caravan. Dozens of light carriages were connected in a row, with thirty people pretending to be accompanying slaves, twenty people pretending to be escorting mercenaries, and the rest of the soldiers were hidden in
On the carriage.
From a distance, the slow speed of the carriage and the deep indentations indicated that it was loaded with cargo. But in fact, except for a few jars of Roma wine, it was all filled with heavy bags of sand.
The intoxicating aroma of wine drifting far away in the wind, the full load of goods, and the sparse number of guards, Yang Ling believed that it would definitely constitute a fatal temptation for the hungry natives.
Sure enough, not long after leaving Weisen Town, the Hornet on alert outside the caravan sent back the news that the fish had been hooked. A group of ragged goblins were quietly surrounding them, seemingly preparing to catch the caravan in one fell swoop.
Sitting cross-legged in the carriage, Yang Ling closed his eyes to rest, and unfamiliar images appeared in his mind. The fast hornet beasts were like high-speed cameras, transmitting back the surrounding situation in real time.
As his witchcraft power deepened, he found that the images sent back by the hornet became clearer and clearer, and the effective distance became farther and farther. If it was a blurry black and white image at the beginning, now it is a blurry black and white image.
Color pictures like digital TV, the closer the distance, the clearer they become.
Eight hundred meters, seven hundred meters, six hundred meters, six hundred and fifty meters... The incoming goblins are getting closer and closer, and the images sent back by the hornet are getting clearer and clearer.
Goblins are an ancient race, only half the height of ordinary people. Legend has it that they are a descendant of dwarves. Some people say that they have the same ancestor as dwarves, but the dirty-looking goblins have never acknowledged these claims.
Legend has it that thousands of years ago, they were the masters of the Terran continent and had a glorious history and civilization. Perhaps because of this, the goblins have an inexplicable sense of superiority, which is as famous as their timidity and filthiness.
In Weisen Town, Yang Ling once heard a joke.
A hungry goblin sneaked into a man's house, sneaked into the kitchen to eat and drink, and then packed a bag of grain and took it away. After being caught, facing the owner's anger, he argued that it was 'taking' and not 'taking'.
Stealing. Even though he was beaten black and blue, he refused to admit that he was stealing.
Unlike the powerful dwarves, goblins are short and thin, and do not know magic, which makes them as timid as mice. In the human empire, goblins are basically synonymous with waste. When calling a man useless, a woman
What they often say is 'you useless goblin'.
One can only imagine the impression that goblins have in people’s minds!
Goblins are timid by nature, but when they gather into a large group, they sometimes become crazy and take risks when they are outnumbered. The group of guys who attacked were no exception. There were old men with pale beards and little kids who jumped around when they walked.
Damn it, it’s a big, messy group. According to preliminary estimates, there are at least 800 people.
Are there still such robbers in the world?
After understanding the situation of the goblins, Yang Ling shook his head. This group of ragged goblins did not have uniform armor or distinctive flags, and were unaware of the hornet beasts following them. After a careful ambush, I believe that the barbarians only need one round.
A charge can wipe them out.
"Sir, the incoming goblins are getting closer and closer, do you want to attack immediately?" After receiving the scout's report and understanding that the enemy was getting closer, Agusu, who was dressed as a mercenary, couldn't hold back his anger.
"Don't worry, lure them closer, and then attack with the whole army and catch them all!" After a pause, Yang Ling continued: "Order the scouts to continue to guard the surroundings to prevent the enemy from ambushing!"
Although the hornet beasts reported the surrounding situation from time to time, Yang Ling still did not dare to be careless, lest they miss the ambushed enemies. Although the Ladakh Mountains are some distance away from the Tras Forest, there are also monsters from time to time, so it is better to be careful.
wonderful.
Under the command of Agusu, people pretended not to know anything and continued to move forward. Some barbarians even deliberately took out the wine flask and took a few sips. The intoxicating aroma of wine, the lax defense, the fully loaded carriage...
., the eyes of the incoming goblins were all red.
When they dived to about two hundred meters, the goblins suddenly stopped and lurked behind the rocks or bushes on both sides of the road. Soon, several guys holding staffs began to whisper softly, and the air began to
A strange wave slowly rippled.
Magician?
Yang Ling was shocked after learning about the opponent's actions through the hornet. Goblins are magic insulators. For thousands of years, no goblin magicians have been heard of. Could it be that the sun is rising from the west today?
Shocked, Yang Ling did not dare to hesitate at all, and immediately ordered the entire army to attack and quickly summoned the army of monsters. Suppressing the bandits had many benefits, but if he killed a thousand enemies and suffered eight hundred losses, it would be more than worth the loss.
After receiving the order, the army quickly got out of the carriage. The barbarians rushed forward fiercely with a huge ax as big as a wheel. The elves were faster, and their arrows were like flowing clouds, quickly killing the goblins in front.
"No, there's an ambush!"
"Iblis, hurry up, rush forward and kill their archers!
.....
Seeing the barbarians and elves suddenly jumping out of the carriage one by one, the attacking goblins were shocked. Under the command of an old man, the army was divided into two. One group blocked the menacing barbarians, and the other group gritted its teeth and pounced.
To the elf beside the carriage. At the same time, seeing that the situation was not good, the goblin mage holding the staff also nervously accelerated his murmuring speed.
As the goblin mages murmured, the magic power fluctuations in the air became more and more obvious. Just when Yang Ling was about to command the army of Warcraft to rush forward, several goblin mages raised their hands in unison, and fireballs appeared in the sky.
Burning?
Seeing the fireballs flying in the sky, Yang Ling was shocked again. He remembered the terrifying hydra monster and its terrifying fire magic. In shock, he turned over and rode on the unicorn, ordering the barbarians and elves to retreat quickly.
