Chapter 263: The Spread of Black
Let's turn the clock back a little bit......
In the past two days, Goron's life at the mansion of Baron Kulakhan has been quite good. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info was able to reconnect with his biggest support, the Black City, which was definitely an unexpected help for Goron. This dark organization formed by a group of growing young black hand ogres, old street prostitutes, slave traders, and military and arms merchants has brought many unexpected surprises to Goron. Through a conversation with Ash, a young maid outfit, Goron finally learns what really happened in the Black City during the days he went into the abyss of Hell.
He, the boss behind the scenes, disappeared again, of course, it can't be a good thing for the Black City, a dark organization that has just been established, especially the new group of human traffickers, led by the cunning fat man Cameron, who has been quite restless for a while. However, after all, Goron had been inexplicably missing for two years, and during those two years without news, Goron's original partner, the goblin merchant Targin Hillman, was able to insist on his inexplicable "intuition" and strange "confidence" in the little ogre, and the old god was waiting for his return. Cassandra, the big boss of the old street who has established an intimate and ambiguous relationship with Goron on a higher level than a "partner", will certainly not be on the side of the slave traders. Coupled with the people of the Haunted Gold Mine in Tideport that Goron left behind, the new generation of black hand ogres who have gradually grown up is a force that cannot be ignored, they not only have the strength and robustness that they should have as ogres, but also have a very significant growth in intelligence under the influence of the mysterious radiation of the haunted gold mine, and some characteristic words that could not have been used to describe ogres have also begun to be used on them. For example...... "cunning".
Of course, there is also the top secret of the Black City that a grassroots intelligence officer like Ash cannot know, that is, the existence of trolls and atavistic mutant ogres. These new generation of black-handed ogres born in the haunted gold mine possess talents and possibilities that can only be described as "terrifying". The one-eyed ogre who was born a war king is just that. Even a once-in-a-lifetime peerless troll can almost make up a dozen in the nursery of a haunted gold mine...... When they are fully grown, perhaps even the entire pattern of the Dota Continent will change for them. Of course, only a few people in the Black City know about the existence of these xenophores.
All in all, under absolute deterrence and warning, the slave trader Cameron finally gave up his completely unrealistic attempt, and a civil struggle was put to rest before it could begin. Cassandra and Targin Hillman didn't pursue the matter too much, after all, as leaders. Goron, who disappears at every turn, does not yet have the charm and authority to make everyone willingly surrender. What's more, after the defeat and disappearance of the "Bloodstained Sanga", the large number of scattered pirates absorbed by the Black City took the opportunity to rapidly expand their own strength, but also buried a lot of hidden worries.
This group of pirate sailors had not even seen Goron in person, and where did loyalty begin. It is simply humiliating for this group of rude and lawless pirates to succumb to a group of "prostitutes" and "goblins". Cameron's idea of rebellion was actually due to pressure from his subordinates. And in the end, he was able to put down an infighting, and this cunning fat man also made a lot of efforts.
Although the internal troubles have not been completely solved for the time being, the Black City is still expanding rapidly...... Flourish.
In recent years, women from Laojie have formed a very terrifying brand effect. In the major population markets, it is hard to find money, and for a while, the originally hot goods, such as elf slaves, abandoned aristocratic daughters, etc., were not cared for in the slave market.
This is not surprising. Under the mature and advanced education mechanism of Lao Cai, even if the girls cultivated are mediocre in appearance, they can often sell for more than the price of the nobles' daughters. They are gentle and considerate. Empathetic and always knows what men need most. It always gives a man the pinnacle of pleasure he dreams of. It is completely different from those ordinary female slave prostitutes who have a miserable face and let others destroy them without any reaction after being settled.
Of course, other Fengyue places will not watch their jobs being snatched away. They tried their best to imitate Lao Cai, imitate her business model, and secretly learn her educational methods. However, there is one thing that these Fengyue places can't learn no matter how hard they rack their brains, and they can't give it to their girls anyway.
That is "hope".
That's right, it's "hope". The women who have fallen into the place of Fengyue, the word "hope" has nothing to do with them for a long time, they can only wait passively, waiting for the end of being abandoned like garbage after old age and decay. Before that, they had to sell their bodies, and then their souls, like machines, for the next meal of bread and oatmeal. But Lao Cai is different, she can give these girls hope again, and even be able to give them a conceptual ...... "home".
Maybe the work of these women is no different, and the work of the women of Lao Cai is even more complicated, harder, and more ...... Dangerous.
For example, intelligence gathering, and even personal assassination if necessary, giving with life.
The work is no different, but the nature has completely changed. When girls have "hope" and "home", it is as if they have regained their souls, they are no longer walking dead, and everything they have paid has a purpose, an expectation, and a value. Not only will they not be abandoned, but when they encounter difficulties, they will have a strong support behind them.
This is also the fundamental reason for the rapid development of the affairs of the Black City, the former Eboo Port Old Street, and now the Black City, using the power of these brave and dedicated women, has established a complete intelligence collection operating system in a short period of time.
Of course, this period is not all smooth sailing, the old Fengyue organization in the mainland has a powerful private army, even if it doesn't, it can also get the power to fight the black city through mercenaries and killer organizations. And when those private mercenaries won some victories for a while, what awaited them was an unimaginable fierce counterattack and crazy revenge. There is no shortage of people in the Black City. A private army of hooligans, slave hunters, remnant pirates, subhuman war slaves, and even elite ogres is a terrifying force that no dark organization can confront or contend with.
Later ones are the oldest. The Fengyue organization with the longest existence and the deepest strength has passed through many relationships. Invite a group of real strong masters to prepare to annihilate the top leaders of the Black City in one fell swoop, and there are even old thief-killer guilds like "Whispers in the Shadows". But they were greeted by a heavily armed army, a fully mechanized dwarven army attached to the Duchy of Cool Bear.
Yes, although in the abyss of hell, in order to compete for the abyss contract, Goron and the young master of the Cool Bear family, Marcus, fought to the death, but in the Dota continent. The arms trade between the Black City and the Cool Bear family has entered an incomparably sweet honeymoon period. The Cool Bear family's rebellious intentions have long been known, and the empire certainly did not sit idly by. Although both sides have not yet torn the last layer of skin and entered a full-scale civil war, the small actions on the territorial borders of various large, medium and small battlefields have not stopped for a minute. Although the Cool Bear Principality has a new concept of weapons and armor that is one era ahead of the entire continent with the help of the industrial technology revolution launched by the dwarven alchemy master Vegapunk Black Wine Barrel, even if the Cool Bear Principality has a large number of dwarven slave warriors, it is still at an absolute disadvantage in terms of the number of troops in the face of the entire empire.
After the Principality of Cool Bear secretly launched a full-scale war mobilization, inside the military workshop. Dwarven craftsmen skilled in forging took up their weapons, took to the training grounds, and went to battle, becoming warriors, musketeers, or mechanized tank helicopter pilots.
And the demand for arms orders has skyrocketed. Naturally, it fell into the hands of the emerging industrial manufacturing base, the Black City Military Factory on the Haishiwan Peninsula. The reason is simple, because there are abundant coal resources here. The newly discovered veins produce the finest metal ores, and there are some of the most dedicated workers here. The most advanced and perfect production workshop. It can be said that the Cool Bear Principality has no other choice at all. If you have to pick and choose the Black City, an increasingly cooperative trading partner. That's the head of commerce in the Black City, and the green-skinned goblin is too treacherous and slippery. God knows if it's his goblin instinct or business experience, this damn green-skinned dwarf has always been able to set the price of his weapons above the psychological bottom line of the Cool Bear Principality, and sometimes a little bit more, which is frustrating but barely acceptable.
In short, the downside of dealing with this goblin is that you often feel irritated, angry, depressed, and sometimes you can't help but want to strangle that greenskin dwarf to death, and for the Hill Kings of the Cool Bear family, it is easy to die to do this. But they won't, no matter how irritable and depressed they are, they won't abandon this partner easily. The reason is that although this green-skinned dwarf has all kinds of shortcomings, for the current Cool Bear family, this goblin, the black organization behind this goblin, has increasingly become an indispensable and important partner of the Cool Bear Principality.
The empire's intelligence organization is not dry, and the crackdown on the partners outside the Cool Bear Principality has not stopped for a day, and the arsenals that the Cool Bear Principality has secretly supported are always devastating soon after they are established, so that all the manpower, material and financial resources invested by the Cool Bear family have been wasted, not to mention, the manufacturing process and design drawings of those cutting-edge weapons have flowed into the empire, and the Cool Bear family cannot bear a heavy blow.
Only the Black City, the Black City that has established a very detailed and complete intelligence system and secrecy mechanism, and only the underground arsenal of the emerging harbor town, which is located in a remote area and difficult for the power of the empire to reach, can provide a steady stream of military support for the Cool Bear Principality. How could such a collaborator, Cool Bear, tolerate his surprises, so when the hostile ones attracted by the frenzied expansion of the Black City sent their killer weapons, they were confronted by the dwarven legions of the Cool Bear family armed to the teeth, and a gang of Dune Kings who were full of fire and had nowhere to vent in the goblin merchants......
There was no living ...... left When the fifth-order battle king-level dark walkers and the top three mercenary groups in the continent also mysteriously disappeared in the attack on the Black City, those organizations that united to resist the Black City finally realized that they were facing an opponent that they could not defeat under any circumstances, so most of the organizations were completely disbanded, and many of the remaining organizations chose to compromise and integrate into the Black City after being drastically streamlined and reviewed. There are also some organizations that choose to change careers, for example, some Fengyue organizations are ready to sell their dancing girls and singers and prostitutes, and then use them as the first pot of gold to enter the field of slave trade, but they immediately sadly find that the mysterious emerging organization Black City, which has just defeated itself in the Fengyue field, has already extended their clutches to the field of slave trade. Although it is not yet like the two major fields of Fengyue and munitions have occupied the position of ruler for the time being, the slave caravan belonging to the Black City is very active, and is engaged in a brutal battle with other veteran slave traders in all aspects for survival space. This field has long been a sword and sword, and there is no room for others to intervene.
Moreover, as the defeated in the confrontation with the Black City, these down-and-out Fengyue organizations are well aware of how terrifying the hidden strength of the Black City is. Because of the strict blockade of news and the fact that there are no survivors alive in every battle, they have mistaken the power of the Cool Bear Principality's intervention for the hidden strength of the Black City itself, and this wonderful misunderstanding is naturally the best for the emerging organization of the Black City, and even the result of the intelligence operation deliberately carried out by the big boss Cassandra. This is of great significance to the development and growth of the Black City, not only supporting the development and operation of the Fengyue Domain from the front, but also helping to expand the most difficult, fiercely competitive and cruel slave trade field from the side, and cannot be directly helped by the Cool Bear Principality.
