At the southern end of the Scarlet Continent, in a forest called the Red Sea Forest, a large group of megalodon lizards are crawling rapidly on the ground.

The Red Sea Forest is located at the southern end of the continent, at the junction of the Arza Kingdom and the Hogg Kingdom, and is so large that the Gnoll traders who travel back and forth between the two countries every year must pass through the Red Sea Forest.

The Red Sea Forest appeared a long time ago, when the ancestors of the Gnoll Kingdom moved to the southern part of the continent, and it can be said that the Red Sea Forest has existed longer than the Gnolls.

As for why this forest is called the Red Sea Forest, it is because there is basically only one kind of tree growing in the Red Sea Forest, called the Red Blood Tree.

It is called the red blood tree, not because it can shed red blood, but because its sap is red. Of course, not only is the sap red, but the leaves are also red, and the branches are dark red.

The red blood tree is domineering by nature, and it is difficult for other tree species to survive next to it, and the sap of the red blood tree is slightly toxic and basically cannot be used, and in the long run, this area develops into a forest and gradually expands.

The red blood trees that are connected are like a sea of red, which contrasts sharply with the deep blue of the Evil Black Sea at the southern end.

The megalodon lizard is a rare species of lizard unique to the gnoll kingdom, with a huge body, when it lands on all fours, it is only a little shorter than an ordinary horse, with blue-black scales covering the whole body, and its defense is amazing, the head of the megalodon lizard is about the same size as the head of an ordinary horse, and its mouth is full of sharp white giant teeth, and its pale red eyes have both sides of the head.

The Megalodon is also a valuable mount in the Gnoll Kingdom, and powerful Gnoll warriors will become the only Gnoll Monitor Lizard cavalry unique to the Gnoll Kingdom when they submit their monitor lizards.

However, due to the scarcity of monitor lizards and their short tempers, there are not many gnoll monitor lizard cavalry in each kingdom, which is the property of the gnoll tribe, but the megalodon lizards are only raised by large tribes.

At this time, on the megalodon, sitting on the black-maned tribe of the Hogg Kingdom was the people.

Among them, the Grand Leader of the Blackmane Tribe, Tessirel, was sitting at the front of the line, and the megalodon lizard he sat on was more than a circle larger than the other megalodons, and a head taller.

Tessirel was well aware of the importance of going to the Hogg Kingdom this time, and decided to personally lead the team to the Hogg Kingdom just in case Tessirel dispelled the idea of sending the rest of the tribe there.

For the safety of the forty bloodline fruits in his hand, as well as the wolf belly ship that he bought smoothly, Tessiril drew one of the tribe's important combat forces from the tribe, the monitor lizard cavalry, a full five hundred.

The five hundred monitor lizard cavalry is an important combat force of the black-maned tribe, in order to make this transaction smooth, the black-maned tribe is also down to the blood, in case these five hundred monitor lizard cavalry are lost in the Hogg Kingdom, the black-maned tribe will definitely be greatly injured.

Fortunately, this time the Blackmane Tribe went to Hogg to trade, and after discussion, once the Blackmane Tribe brought back the wolf's belly ship from the Hogg Kingdom, the Greenmane Tribe, the Redmane Tribe and the royal golden-mane tribe will all allocate a part of their tribe's troop quota to the Blackmane Tribe.

Because even if the deal is reached, the number of wolf's belly ships obtained is limited, and the four major tribes have a large number of sufficient gnoll warriors, so in order not to cause competition, the four major tribes negotiated the amount of troops sent by each tribe.

The royal family's golden-maned tribes alone accounted for 30 percent of the troops, and the remaining 70 percent was divided equally among the other three large tribes, each of which accounted for about 23 percent.

In other words, once 10,000 gnolls were dispatched, the Blackmane tribe could send 2,300 men to the Duchy of Cairn by boat to plunder food and wealth, and half of the plundered food wealth could be left behind, and the other half could be handed over to the king for relief to other small tribes.

If this deal is successful, the other three tribes will have to hand over a certain amount of troops to the Blackmane Tribe.

The reason why Tessirel took on this task happily was because Tessirel had a special relationship with the Bloodfang Tribe, one of the seven major tribes of the Hogg Kingdom, and Tesiriel married his sister to Frances, the leader of the Bloodfang Tribe.

The three kingdoms of the Gnolls have been established for a long time, although they have long ceased to invade each other on a large scale, but small-scale battles are inevitable, this phenomenon is similar to that of the Terran countries on the mainland, so it is not easy to easily buy a precious wolf's belly ship from the Hogg Kingdom, but due to the relationship between France, it is much easier to go from Tessiriel.

The relationship between Tessirel and the Bloodfang Tribe is also known to the other three major tribes of the Arza Kingdom, which is why the other three tribes agree with Tessiriel's going, just like the ten wolf's belly ships purchased before.

More than five hundred monitor lizards were heading in the direction of the Hogg Kingdom, in addition to the five hundred megalodons ridden by the jackals, there were dozens of them used to drag food and water, and at this time, Tessirel in front of him was talking to a gnolls beside him.

The gnolls looked very different from other gnolls, larger than many gnolls, but instead of solid muscles, the deep fur concealed a pile of compost meat.

This guy was kidnapped by Tessiriel, a fat jackal who is a well-known merchant in the Red Sea Forest, who travels back and forth between the two countries all year round and is very familiar with the Red Sea Forest.

Speaking of this, I have to explain that the Red Sea Forest is not as safe and harmless as its appearance, because there is only one kind of red blood tree growing in the Red Sea Forest, the forest can be described as a single grass, and from a distance, all are exactly the same red blood trees, once you go deep into it, if you are not familiar with the Red Sea Forest, there is a high probability that you will be lost.

I remember that the ten wolf's belly ships of the Arza Kingdom were also bought by Tessirel after passing through the Red Sea forest in the same way.

This chubby gnoll man seems to be a very unusual guy named Brad, and Brad regrets it very much in his heart at this time, knowing that he shouldn't be greedy, he shouldn't go to that small tribe to trade.

Originally, he had traded enough blood worm eggs with other small tribes, but he was greedy for a moment and wanted to trade more blood worm eggs, and more blood worm eggs represented more golden dragons.

Originally, the Gnolls could only barter because they could not mint coins, but when plundering Terran territory, they would always harvest a large amount of Terran currency, such as gold dragons, silver deer and copper fish.

It's a pity that these currencies have no value in the territory of the gnolls, and can only fall into ashes in the territory of the gnolls, and at this time the Terran smuggling merchants appeared, and they smuggled a large number of goods urgently needed by the gnolls from the territory of the gnolls to the territory of the gnolls, and secretly traded with the gnolls, such as iron tools, grain, cloth, etc., and earned the difference by exchanging the goods and the gnolls for useless Terran currency.

Because the benefits are so lucrative, a large number of nobles often intervene in it privately.
