Chapter 52 Fargoday Mine 2
Zhang Weidao saw this familiar scene, turned around and glanced at Jiage, who was watching the show, and motioned for him to go up first and try to persuade the other party to surrender. It would be best not to take action, as it would save them a beating.
As a result, when Jiage took a step forward and was about to speak, he saw the hands of the mage opposite him glowing with fire, and a fireball came towards him. This fireball seemed to be the tradition of kobold mage, and Jiage was so frightened that he teleported away.
Go to the rear dozens of meters away.
The fireball that lost its target continued to fly backwards, and a golden hand stretched out from the side to grab the fireball. The violent fire element was offset by the holy light attached to the hand.
Zhang Weidao shook his arm that was numb from the fireball, and then knocked down the guard blocking the way with a collision. He knocked the kobold mage to the ground with a blow from his pocket. With a few sweeps, he knocked down all the guards who were surrounding him.
Every one of them was lying on the ground groaning.
Seeing that there was no kobold on the field who could get up, Jiage ran over triumphantly and began to persuade him to surrender. At this time, none of the kobolds present could resist. They could only listen to Jiage repeatedly preaching to them how powerful human beings are.
The whole clan cannot be beaten together. Only by following the footsteps of the strong can they live a better life.
This was very consistent with the kobolds' nature of bullying and fearing the strong. Soon these kobolds gave in and all surrendered to Zhang Weidao. Looking at these kobolds with bruised noses and swollen faces, Zhang Weidao condensed a ball of holy light and swayed it on them.
These minor flesh wounds will return to normal after being swept away by the Holy Light. Such minor injuries do not require complete Holy Light treatment, just a light sweep with the condensed Holy Light will suffice.
The mage leader, who had regained his strength under the holy light, stood up and began to report to Zhang Weidao the number of kobolds in the tribe here. There were a lot of kobolds gathered in the Fargodi Mine, even more than in the Echo Mine.
After this merger, the total number of kobolds rose to more than 1,600.
Due to the fact that almost all kobolds are soldiers, they can raise a musketeer team of 800 people in wartime, unlike most humans who are civilians without fighting ability.
Because the kobolds here are next to two large farms, they can occasionally steal crops and sell gold sand to make a living. This orc invasion even made the kobolds stand up, and only after the human power weakened did they seize the mine.
control, now the human miners have been driven back to the farm.
The shaft from this mine to the lower kobold settlement is accessed through a hanging basket. Jiage was full of disdain when he walked into the hanging basket and went down the shaft. A mage who can't even build a suspended lifting platform is embarrassed even if he has no level at all.
Be the leader of the tribe.
At this time, the low-level mage was nodding and bowing to please Jiage, hoping that this knowledgeable senior could teach him more knowledge. Spell knowledge is the most important thing for a mage.
The overall structure of the kobold tribe in the lower level of the mine is similar. The difference is that the kobold blacksmith here has not learned from the dwarves and can only smelt ore and make some simple tools.
Zhang Weidao decided to send blacksmiths to train these rookies after he returned. These so-called blacksmiths were not as skilled as the blacksmith apprentices. The blacksmith apprentices in the camp could make ordinary weapons.
There is also a lot of gold sand waiting to be smelted in the blacksmith shop, and there are alchemy tools and a few gold lumps next to it. It seems that the kobold mage was refining gold just now.
Zhang Weidao picked up a golden marble and looked at it. The value of this golden metal particle was astonishing. A marble as big as this could cover the annual expenses of a civilian family. The real world is not like in the game where you can easily settle with just a few gold coins.
All expenses were paid in copper coins, and settlement in silver coins was already a very luxurious consumption.
As for the use of gold coins to pay bills, they are mainly for bulk goods transactions or high-end weapons and equipment. Gold is rarely used for ordinary market transactions. Zhang Weidao pressed his fingers slightly, and the gold bumps were slowly kneaded into a gold cake shape. The color and softness
All proved that this is high purity gold.
Jiage led his apprentices to start refining gold. Since the Echo Mine does not produce gold, it was also the first time for Jiage to come into contact with this precious metal. He had to practice it while he had the raw materials this time.
Zhang Weidao began to arrange for the kobolds to focus on digging and widening the entrance to the mine. They dismantled the wooden entrance made by humans and replaced it with a rock castle structure, turning the mine into a strong underground fortress.
Zhang Weidao decided to firmly control this mine that can produce gold sand. Anyway, it is not far from the Western Wilderness. It is no problem to control it as a stronghold. He is not prepared to return the Kingdom of Storm when it returns.
It's an overseas office.
The kobolds were busy with mining and infrastructure work. Zhang Weidao walked along the canyon outside the mine to the south river. Looking at the wide water surface of this river that divided several regions, it was four to five hundred meters wide on average.
There was an undercurrent surging under the river, but it didn't matter to Zhang Weidao, who was friends with the fish-man.
After standing for a while, the murlocs patrolling in the water came up to greet Zhang Weidao. Through communication, they learned that they had killed several groups of orcs who wanted to cross the river. Since all the bridges were destroyed, the only way for the orcs to enter Elwynn Forest was
They can take a boat, but they don't have the ability to build a bridge hundreds of meters long.
Glancing at the forest shrouded in weird twilight on the other side of the river, Zhang Weidao turned around and walked along the river bank toward the construction site for dredging the river. As for the forest shrouded in ominous twilight, since there was no need to go to that forest for the time being,
It's better to stay away and don't go into that weird place.
Even the murlocs don't want to get close to this Dusk Forest, and they always swim in the waters of Elwynn Forest during patrols. Being close to the waters of the Dusk Forest makes them very uncomfortable, and even the river is so lifeless that it feels a bit gloomy.
I walked east along the river bank for a while and came to a pier that had been abandoned for a long time. The abandoned waterway extending from the Crystal Lake in the north was right next to the pier.
In the past, when river transportation was prosperous, supplies from several surrounding areas were dispatched from here. Later, due to the invasion of fishmen, which affected the safety of water transportation, few people dared to use ships to transport supplies.
Now that the pier has been completely abandoned after the orc invasion, Zhang Weidao stopped and looked at the dilapidated pier and found that the infrastructure was still usable. He kept it in mind and walked quickly towards the upstream construction section.
Along the way, Xiao Hui ran back and forth boredly, running into the woods from time to time to pick wild fruits and make tooth sacrifices. Zhang Weidao also saw him grabbing bugs from the trees and throwing them into his mouth. No wonder this grizzly bear has grown so big. What did he see on the road?
Everyone has to taste it. This greedy guy is really incorrigible.
It was really tiring to lead this guy on the road. He just climbed up a tree and pulled out a honeycomb. He ate the honey and the owner was also besieged by bees. At this time, Jiage stayed in the Fargodi Mine to win people over. Zhang
