Chapter 077: Bullying the weak and being afraid of the hard has to be so neat
Wendao, who received the highest courtesy as a dragon envoy, was arranged to rest in the VIP room of the fortress that night. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
The Redstone Fortress was originally a supply transfer station established by the Empire on the surface of the Gurambel Grounds, and since then it has functioned as a battle fortress for the Lystadians to guard the border, so the comfort of living has never been the focus of the pursuit. The place, which was dubbed the "VIP Room", was actually just a few pieces of locally sourced wooden furniture in a corner of the Imperial Material Warehouse, which was far worse than the dormitory of the Baixia Palace.
But now Wen Dao didn't have the heart to pay attention to the affairs of the room, and his heart was still in the afterglow of shock.
The name of the Fenris Wolf Cavalry was canceled by the Empire, and the son of the emperor who conquered the stars was reduced to exile, and he also received the permission of the Dragon King! It feels like a bite has been stuffed into a whole bucket of fried chicken, and I'm still a little confused when I digest it.
However, in this way, it makes sense to feel a lot of doubts before.
For some reason, the wolf cavalry exiled from the Empire crashed on the surface of the planet on the surface of the planet on the Goddess of Fury, and then sought political asylum from the Dragon King and was allowed to stay in Gurumbel - Wen Tao estimated that this matter must have been recorded in the Dragon Palace log, but due to the energy storm, he was unable to confirm it to the Baixia Palace now.
In fact, considering the dragon clan's heroic values of treating the entire planet as a bonsai, Wen Dao seriously asked whether Emperor Shun of the Northern Heaven really remembered the exiled Fenris Wolf Cavalry Legion, otherwise he would have forgotten to tell Long Ji about it.
In any case, the originally unmanageable strong enemy suddenly turned into a potential friendly army, which is definitely a surprise and surprise development from Wendao's position - although the wolf cavalry seems to be hostile to the Liensta, but if the other party recognizes the authority of the lord, then Wendao will negotiate as the lord's representative, and it is difficult to transfer the son of the former emperor and the top military of the empire to his command.
Hector, of course, raised his hands in favor of Wen Dao's idea.
"It should be done! No! it must be done! That's the Fenris wolf ride, the giant wolf that tears the stars!" the old madman ravaged him with a frenzy he had never done before. "Recruits, quickly take the wolf cavalry under your command and take the first step towards becoming a warlord!"
"Thanks to your outdated intelligence, we've taken a lot of detours, okay?"
Wen Dao deeply despises mental models. Whether it's the furious goddess who crashed on the surface, or the wolf cavalry of the exiled dragon leader, this old madman immersed in the game of war without leaving home is not only backward times, but is almost thrown into the dustbin of history.
"Hmph, that's because the old man doesn't care! This level of information, as long as the old man logs in to the empire's quantum network, how much will he need!" The old madman's tone of retort was quite weak, and judging from the gritted teeth, he seemed to have made up his mind to search for it as soon as he connected to the quantum network.
"Forget it, but you have a point. ”
Although he has little interest in the War Lord, since he has been appointed as the Lord's representative, he must of course fully exploit the potential of the territory. Coupled with the arduous task of building up the armed forces and expanding the border defense line assigned by the Dragon Palace, it would definitely be a lie to say that Wen Dao was not interested in that empire's elite army.
After thinking about it, Wen Dao decided to go to the two wolf cavalry to talk again, after all, if he couldn't confirm it with the Dragon Palace, it was impossible to believe it immediately just by the other party's words.
Wendao descended the passage to the fortress square, where the vehicles of the Sky Knights who had come to their aid from Leubek City were moored. The Lensta regarded the six captive landing craft as a national treasure, and at least four squads of knights patrolled the square.
Wen Dao didn't want to alarm the patrolling knights, so he quietly detoured from the left side of the square.
To his surprise, there was also a landing craft parked on the left side of the square. The front of the landing craft is painted with a white wolf pattern, while the entire body is covered with bullet holes and traces of explosions. The bruised landing craft undoubtedly belonged to the wolf cavalry who had been ambushed a few days ago, and the Lensta probably regarded it as a trophy and dragged it back with their surplus capacity.
There were no patrol riders around the near-scrapped landing craft, but there were four figures standing three low and one high next to the torch. The tall one might have been the military officer of the fortress from the way he was dressed, but the three short ones made Wen Dao blink.
(Hobbits?What are they doing here?)
The military officer was none other than the three harpy merchants that Fumidao had met earlier at the Tavern in Leubek City. Since the Dragonlords have never opened their borders, they should technically be considered illegal infiltration. However, from the conversation, the three illegal infiltrators not only did not have the slightest awareness of their position, but even arrogantly.
"No, no, no, this one is too badly damaged, and you can basically only sell scrap iron when you take it. ”
"Yes, yes, the quality is too far worse than the batch I received a few days ago!"
"So, I can only give you a third of the price!"
Gurem, Hasum, and Arrom are the names of three harpy merchants, respectively. Although it is difficult to tell who is who from the outside, the trio offensive during the negotiation has an unexpected deterrent effect. The overwhelmed military officer made the proposal with a sad face.
"W-Isn't this price too low?"
"No, no, we hobbits are the most conscientious in business!"
"You won't find a second home for this price!"
"It's useless to leave you alone anyway!"
The offensive of the Harpy Trio violently shook the spiritual defense line of the military officer, and the military officer looked at the landing craft with a sad face, and then looked at the sincere Hapy, and just as he was about to grit his teeth and nod, deliberate footsteps sounded next to him. The military officer, who turned his head to look at him, immediately changed his face and saluted upright.
"See the Dragon Envoy!"
"Dragon...... Dragon Messenger?!"
This term for a particular profession made the hobbits shudder. When they looked back tremblingly, they saw the grim smile of the black-haired youth in the light of the swaying fire.
"Out, out!"
The harpy let out an unknown scream and ran away, but with a snap of his fingers, several shimmering matrix walls were erected out of thin air, turning the hobbit into a rat in the alley. The hobbits, who had no way to retreat from the left and right, trembled back in panic, but the dragon envoy's eyes were no longer on them.
"Sounds like they're supposed to be regular patrons here, right?"
Wen Tao looked at the landing craft of the wolf cavalry and confirmed it to the military officer in a gentle tone.
"Yes, yes!"
"Don't be nervous, I'll just ask, what is the approximate price they give?"
Wen Dao comforted the military officer, and received from him the answer that the price offered by the hobbits was about enough to buy six tons of wheat - six tons of wheat in exchange for a working Imperial landing craft. The price of this black chrysanthemum made Wen Dao still have the urge to hand over the Habi to the wolf cavalry, but compared to this, he seemed to have heard something more mindful of just now.
"Glad we met again, ask a question. Wendao turned to the hobbit and asked. "What happened to the 'batch you received a few days ago'?"
"That's ...... Say it casually!"
"Yes, yes, yes!
"Definitely not in the fortress to buy the m!"
In the face of the glorious coercion exuded by the dragon envoy, the frightened hobbit still slipped his mouth at the end. Wen Dao heard the words "ho" and squinted at the harpy, who could not escape and could not argue, and after struggling for a long time, he finally bowed his head and told the truth.
"Yes, it was acquired at Viper Fortress ......"
Viper Fortress is the stronghold of the previous Wendao led the Liansta people to crusade against poachers, and in the crusade war, Chinese Dao successfully paralyzed half of the bandits' landing craft with minimally invasive surgery. Originally, these landing craft could be restored with minor repairs, but the Lensta did not have such skills, so they entrusted the repair to the Hobbits, who were relatively friendly and famous for their craftsmanship.
Who knows, the Hobbits, after careful inspection, gave a report of "irreparable", and forced the military officers to sell them the scrapped landing craft at a super-paper price, as they did this time.
"I think those landing craft can be fixed, but they ......"
"Yes, it's really hard to fix it!"
The officer's expression was full of indignation, and the hobbit voice was particularly frightened. Wen Dao, who was stared at by the two, recalled the deacon's angry appearance, and at the same time opened a fierce arc at the corner of his mouth.
"Do you dare to look me in the eye and say it again?"
The fierce style inherited from the chief deacon and the dragon breath obtained from the dragon queen were mixed together, and a devastating superior coercion was born, and the hobbit who was watching gave up resistance almost instantly.
"Except、Unless the engine is replaced!"
"Replace it with an engine made by the Harpy Federation!"
"There will be an improvement in performance!"
"Very well, I'll leave it to you. Wen Dao announced in a tone that could not be refused. "As punishment for your illegal smuggling in the Dragon Territory so far, I want you to get those landing craft, including this one, repaired and sent back to me within a week. Not even a screw is missing, and of course I won't pay you a single one. ”
Fully understanding the hobbit's nature of bullying the weak and afraid of hard urine, Wendao tried his best to imitate the strong tone of the deacon.
"W-This is too much!"
"Or, I'll take you to appeal to Your Highness right now. ”
Wen Dao snorted coldly. Before he took office, these harpy profiteers didn't know how many good things they had taken from Gulambert! Now even if they wanted to track it down, it was impossible to trace it, and Wen Dao couldn't help but feel sad when he imagined the serious losses suffered by the territory, and his eyes became sinister when he looked at the hobbits.
The hobbits, who felt this, immediately changed their position.
"It is our Rongxingmu to be able to serve His Highness!"
"Guaranteed to be better than new!"
"If it's okay, we'll go first!"
Cushioned by accepting Wen Dao's harsh demands, the hobbits planned to evacuate the battlefield that had been soaked in dragon power before a bigger blow came, but Wen Dao's "stop" made them freeze in place. As the hobbit looked back with a sad face, Wen Dao coughed and slowed his tone slightly.
"When you're done with this, I have a big business to talk to you about. ”
"Big, big business?"
