Chapter 399: Unexpected Joy
At noon, the sun rises high and high, making the gravel under your feet hot and hot, if it weren't for the small green, I'm afraid someone would have been unable to support it.
Although this isn't the first time they've made their way into the Gravel Wasteland in the "summer", this caravan from the Flame Empire has experienced the enthusiasm of the Gravel Wasteland!
There is a small oasis hidden in this vast wasteland, if it weren't for Xing Xiaotian sending someone to inform her, Lacey. Banhard really didn't know that there was such a place in the gravel wasteland, and the more desolate the scenery in the distance, the more it reflected the beauty and strangeness of this oasis, bounded by the road of the time, and on one side was the endless endless gravel wasteland, where not a single inch of grass grew and made people despair; On one side, the water is rippling, the grass and trees are verdant, and it is a scene full of life.
The combination of completely different natural landscapes is truly breathtaking!
The caravan drank water from its horses, and all the caravan members gathered in the shade of the trees, and although it was only a small shelter, the gravel wasteland was already a rare luxury in this season, at least in the wilderness.
Lacey. Banhard sat alone in the shade of a tree, taking a sip of fresh water from a water bladder, her clear eyes looking into the distance, where there was a human she could not understand.
Yes, incomprehensibly, Lacey. Banhard didn't understand why Xing Xiaotian chose to settle in the orc country as a human being, although his identity was just a businessman, but with his ability, no matter how he went to that human country, it must not be worse than living in the gravel wasteland, I really don't understand why he stayed here?
Yes, Lacey. Banhard didn't understand, but that didn't stop her from being jealous of Xing Xiaotian.
When they met for the first time, Xing Xiaotian could only escape in embarrassment under her hands. Banhard's assassination attempt in the gravel wasteland regardless of his identity. She has a great possibility of strangling Xing Xiaotian in the cradle, but unfortunately~~ There is no regret medicine in the world, now that Xing Xiaotian's momentum has become a success, it is not so easy to assassinate again, and if she doesn't get herself, she has to put it in it, this is definitely not to grow others' morale and destroy her own prestige, you must know that although she is located in a blood-colored town, she still knows everything about the gravel wasteland, as far as she knows. The Ten Thousand Commanders Torture Xiaotian alone has killed no less than twenty or thirty people now, and this kind of record has exceeded the sum of her previous years.
Orc Captain, that is, an iron-blooded powerhouse, it is easy to defeat such a strong man, but it is too difficult to kill such a strong man, not to mention that Orc Captains are all powerful figures, and those orc soldiers under his command are a difficult bone to gnaw.
As for the "dragon" in the gravel wasteland, from beginning to end, Lacey. Banhard didn't believe it, and she couldn't have known what Xing Xiaotian was. Such a skill wants to subdue the dragon? It's almost the same as washing yourself and feeding the dragon.
Right here in Lacey. When Banhard was thinking about it, a slightly excited report suddenly came to his ears: "Dashuai, he is here!" ”
Following the squire's gaze, Lacey. Banhard saw the long caravan at a glance. The continuous herds of camels and pack horses and tall saramanta oxen, after seeing the size of the caravan, Lacey. Banhard's brow furrowed slightly, for the scale was clearly not up to the scale she had expected. This caravan is too small!
Despite this, she still stood up calmly and said in a deep voice without looking back: "Give me some energy." Kill them all if something goes wrong. ”
Although it was an equal deal, the two sides were still in a state of hostility, and any caution should not be exaggerated.
With Lacey. Banhard's words immediately reminded her of the clanging of armor and the dull footsteps of the whole team, and even without looking back, she knew that the players behind her were preparing for the battle.
With the passage of time, the two sides are getting closer and closer, each other's eyebrows are clearly reflected in front of them, compared to Xing Xiaotian's laziness, his command is simply elite to frighten people to death, the distance between warriors and warriors is like measuring with a ruler, every step is neatly aligned, the fine armor flashes with dazzling cold light under the scorching sun, the blades of knives, guns and axes are as smooth as mirrors, at a glance, you can know that it is forged from a hundred refined steel, when can the orc empire that can't even afford to use a pot be able to have such sophisticated equipment, You must know that this kind of equipment is not popular, even in the Flame Empire!
That kind of prosperous and solemn military appearance made all the people of the Flame Empire change their faces, and now the question that comes to everyone's mind is a question, if there is really a "wrong", can they still do it?
The answer is inexplicable, but everyone knows it.
"Thorn"
Lacey. Banhard shouted a name with an unchanged countenance, and then a human warrior dressed as an archer stepped forward, wound his bow like a full moon.
In the face of the bow and arrow that was about to be shot, the caravan led by Xing Xiaotian did not pause in the slightest, not even the slightest hesitation and fear, and the footsteps were still so steady.
"Whew~~~"
The sharp arrow blade sliding the air drew a high parabola in the air, and then accurately nailed it into less than half a foot in front of Xing Xiaotian, this hand was also amazing.
This is both a warning and a demonstration!
Xing Xiaotian looked at Lacey with a smile. Banhard glanced at him, then jerked his right hand and shouted, "Stop! ”
"Whoa!"
The whole caravan stopped with Xing Xiaotian's order, even if one or two animals wanted to move forward, they would be held by the soldiers around them, not to mention that they wanted to move forward, even if they wanted to turn their heads, they couldn't do it.
Xing Xiaotian leisurely stood up from the back of the Shaloman camel, and then stretched out his arms to Lacey. Banhard said happily, "Welcome to the Gravel Wasteland, great Lacey. Commander Banhard, may your prestige and beauty be as hot as the sun. As he spoke, he held his chest with one hand and gave her a chest salute that was most common in the Orc Empire.
"Even in the scorching sun, the night cannot stop the coming, and your prestige is equally awe-inspiring, the great human merchant: Your Excellency Xing Xiaotian!" While speaking in her mouth, Lacey. Banhard returned the favor.
Compared to the politeness of the two supreme officers, the soldiers below were not so friendly, glaring angrily one by one, and the serious killing intent was enough to freeze this scorching weather, if it were not bound by military discipline. Now the soldiers on both sides are probably fighting together for a long time.
Xing Xiaotian has absolute confidence in his military discipline, so he is not worried about his subordinates making a mess at all, but continues to face Lacey. Banhard politely said: "This is really a bad weather, I deeply regret what happened to your country, but I am also glad, not for your suffering, but for such an opportunity to bring us back to the good world." ”
This little thing is said, we don't care if it's true or not, at least it makes people feel comfortable when they listen to it!
Xing Xiaotian could clearly find that the hostility of the Flame Empire soldiers had significantly decreased a lot because of these words. Even Lacey. Banhard also gave him a subtle smile.
"Your Excellency Xing Xiaotian, your words are as sweet as rain, I also hope that there will be no more swords between you and me, but please forgive me for being straightforward, I want to know how much food you brought us this time?"
"Oh, it should, it should!" After smiling and agreeing, Xing Xiaotian gently slapped his palms twice, and then the entire caravan slowly operated here. Instead of moving forward, but unloading on the spot, one after another heavily armored kobold warriors carried bags of potatoes to the front of the two armies, and nearly a hundred tons of grain were in Racy. There was a mountain in front of Banhard.
The heavily armored kobold moves quickly. After carrying the grain, they formed a line again, and their right hands were all on the metal chains, so that they could attack at any time.
The punishment of the small heavenly jaw to Lacey. Banhard gestured, and then said heartily, "According to the rules of a merchant." You can send someone to inspect the goods first, if there is no problem, we will talk about the transaction, how about it? ”
Lacey. Banhard was not polite either. With a wave of his hand, a squadron was dispatched and began to inspect it on a large scale.
With the gradual progress of the inspection, the joy on the face of this inspector has become stronger and stronger. Banhard had been keeping an eye on the gravel wasteland, so these people were no strangers to the food "potato", and it wasn't until he confirmed that it was correct, and the squadron leader ran to Lacey with a happy face. Banhard's side whispered: "Dashuai, there is no problem!" ”
Lacey. Banhard nodded slightly, indicating that he already knew, and then nodded lightly to the attendant beside him.
This time it was the turn of the Flame Empire's caravans, but instead of the stuff of smoke and iron, they brought huge pieces of wood and cloth, yes...... These are the materials that Xing Xiaotian needs, or only these things can make him barely look at it, in fact, this transaction is not the goal, repairing it is Xing Xiaotian's purpose.
Xing Xiaotian even saved the procedure of inspecting the goods, and directly ordered people to harvest, and the whole transaction was like "poison". The transaction was like a scene, fast and full of gunpowder, and it was not until the completion of the transaction that both parties breathed a sigh of relief.
Xing Xiaotian really wants to talk to Lacey. Banhard talked about it again, it was best to ask her to stay for a meal or something, but he also knew that this was an unrealistic idea, fortunately, the two sides have now had a good start, I believe that day will not be too far away, the better the next trading time, the two sides will embark on each other's way home!
No one knew why Lord Xing Xiaotian would exchange these precious grains for those useless materials, and no one dared to ask, because the adult's decision was correct even if he didn't understand it, and whoever dared to doubt the adult's decision was doubting the adult's dominance, and it would be dead.
Xing Xiaotian used nearly 100 tons of grain in exchange for 300 tons of materials, and most of them were timber, this business seems to be a loss, but is it really so?
It wasn't until he started a fire on the way back that Xing Xiaotian found a clue in these woods, and he found a little frightened red at the axis of the wood!
Mahogany, half of these woods are mahogany, and they are all big materials, the thickest one of the mahogany is as much as one meter in diameter after being put aside, and there is no moth-eaten and hollowed out, your mother~~ This one mahogany alone is enough to be worth all the fares, it's worth it, it's too much of his mother's!
"Hahahaha......"
Xing Xiaotian's wild laughter immediately resounded throughout the wilderness, although these orc warriors under his command didn't know why the adults suddenly became so high, but this did not prevent them from understanding Xing Xiaotian's joy, and for a while, they all echoed each other, and for a while the ghosts cried wolf howls, so frightened that a horse that was peeing back. (To be continued......)
