In the early morning mist, the second regiment of the slave hunting regiment led by Count Bacon quietly passed through the northern defense line that the Marquis of Red Fox was proud of, and entered the hinterland of the Marquis of Red Fox's territory. Taking advantage of the accidental death of his two younger brothers, Count Bacon could claim that the Marquis of Red Fox had sent someone to assassinate his two younger brothers. For this reason, the capture of Hongye City became a matter of course. As for the truth of the matter, it is natural that the Earl of Bacon will torture the captured slave miners and the mine overseers who have been turned into slaves overnight.

In the morning, bands of freed slave miners were driven to the relatively scattered and weakly defended villages. Because of the inhuman torture of the slave hunting group, these extremely miserable slave miners transferred the pain inflicted on their own heads by the slave owners to the unprovoked villagers in the villages. For a time, these foreign slaves who knew that they were certain to die unleashed their inner beastliness, burning, killing and looting in the villages.

Originally, Zuo Zhe had a chance to save these battered miners, as long as Zuo Zhe acted in advance. However, Zuo Zhe chose to get out of the way, because Zuo Zhe changed his mind. The reason is as simple as that, Zuo Zhe changed his mind and looked down on these slave miners. In other words, Zuo Zhe's strategic goals have shifted. So far, the potential of Warcraft's recruitment system has been far from being tapped. At this time, what Zuo Zhe wanted most was still gold, a lot of gold. And if the target is a gold mine, the gold mining efficiency of the miners of the four clans under Zuo Zhe is ten times and a hundred times stronger than that of the miners in this world!

And if he commanded this group of miners, Zuo Zhe's pace would be greatly slowed down, and he would even lose the most important mobility as a result. After all, the Orc Prophet's perspective skills, coupled with the Night Elf Warden's continuous teleportation skills, and the Terran Archmage's group teleportation skills, these three strategic-level skills give Zuo Zhe an incomparably powerful maneuvering ability! Zuo Zhe only needs to leave a shadow of the undead responsible for positioning in the hidden caves along the way, and he can quickly teleport between places with his troops!

Moreover, the large amount of gold in the Immortal King City also greatly alleviated Zuo Zhe's gold hunger. With the gold of the Immortal King City as the backing, and the undead creatures of the Immortal King City acting as "experience babies" for Zuo Zhe's heroes and soldiers, Zuo Zhe no longer needs to fight the regular army of the Hegemony Kingdom.

The accumulation of various reasons made Zuo Zhe give up these foreign slave miners, who were difficult to strengthen and had relatively low basic quality. In fact, even the civilian class of the Hegemonic Kingdom is no longer favored by Zuo Zhe. Because there is only one decision-making level in the entire team, Zuo Zhe will not be vetoed by the heroes as long as he does not make a particularly stupid decision. Therefore, even if Zuo Zhe changes his order, he will not have any objections. Even the paladins have no opinion on Zuo Zhe's decision.

The only one who has an opinion among the people is Ji Ya, who can't be included in the Warcraft space. Regarding the situation that the homeland has been destroyed in history and the homeland has been in the vicissitudes of life, Ji Ya, who has strong willpower, only broke free from the negative emotions with a little sadness.

"Your Majesty, although you can change your order, it is better for you to have a clear plan than to act blindly. At this time, Ji Ya had already changed out of the intricate and delicate "shroud" like an imperial butterfly like a work of art, and changed into a simple black mage robe. Taking off the wide hood on her head, Ji Ya revealed a striking long golden hair, which made Zuo Zhe often have the illusion of finding gold.

Compared with Ji Ya's peerless appearance, what attracted Zuo Zhe more was the golden blonde hair. Trying to divert his attention from the blonde hair, Zuo Zhe found that the golden sticker on Ji Ya's forehead had been replaced by a crescent moon sticker of the same style as Bao Qingtian.

Regarding Ji Ya's outfit, Zuo Zhe was not in much mood to complain, and said seriously, "It's still a bit early to say that the plan is too early, and our understanding of this world is too limited." Now it can be said that there is only a short-term plan. ”

Speaking of this, Zuo Zhe's eyes were once again attracted by Ji Ya's blonde hair fluttering in the wind, and he concluded in a firm tone, "At present, we have two goals, that is, to increase our strength and scavenge more gold!"

Ji Ya couldn't understand why Zuo Zhe had such an almost pathological desire for gold. In Ji Ya's view, gold is just a precious metal. The most important thing for a magician is, of course, knowledge. With knowledge comes power, and with power there is no shortage of gold.

It's a pity that Zuo Zhe consumes gold faster than Ji Ya can imagine, so he has been desperately wanting to get more gold.

And when it comes to finding gold, that's the specialty of the Terran peasants. A person with a sense of gold pointed Zuo Zhe to the nearest place where a large amount of gold was stored. And this location is the Hongye City that holds the canyon in the middle of the Blood Leaf Mountain Range!

As a transportation hub connecting the north and the south, Hongye City not only has the important task of monitoring the evil neighbors in the north, but also has an irreplaceable and important position of connecting the north and the south in commerce! Therefore, taking advantage of this irreplaceable strategic position, the Marquis of Red Fox has set a very high tax in Hongye City. Taxes alone were enough to make a lot of money flow into the pockets of the Marquis of Red Fox.

The poignant sirens shattered the usual prosperity and noise, and after a bloodied cavalryman rushed into Hongye City, the order of Hongye City immediately switched to a wartime state. The gates of the city were closed, and heavily armed soldiers climbed up to the top of the city, and a flying demonic beast carrying a famous magician flew back and forth in the air around Hongye City.

In the center of Hongye City, the Marquis of Bacon, who is personally sitting here, has received a strange piece of information. According to the intelligence, an unknown number of foreign thugs are wreaking havoc in the many villages south of the Blood Leaf Mountains, burning, killing and looting!

In order to investigate and deal with these large numbers of thugs, it is necessary to mobilize a large number of troops in Hongye City to suppress these foreign thugs. But the problem is that since the Grand Duke's sudden rise, the Red Fox Marquis Territory south of the Blood Leaf Mountains has never suffered a large-scale invasion by exotic thugs!

At this time, a sudden change seems to mean that something unimaginable has happened. However, even if there is a conspiracy in this, the Marquis of Red Fox still has to send troops out to suppress the mob. Because of the defense against the Grand Duke in the north, Hongye City has a large number of elite troops stationed all year round. Of course, a large part of the military expenditure of these elite troops is supported by other nobles and royal families, and the Marquis of Red Fox alone will not raise such a large number of elite soldiers who have almost no combat opportunities on weekdays. Well, the elite is the equipment and training of the soldiers, and as for whether the soldiers themselves are elite, that needs to be tested by war.
