Chapter 157: The Caravan Convoy
The scorching coal finally burned in the underground world, and Zhao Liang smelted mineralized iron nearby, turning tons and tons of ore into rectangular iron ingots, and then turning them into various tools and armor.
A pair of rough hands obsessively touched these iron ingots, and everyone's face appeared with irrepressible ecstasy, as long as there are these iron materials, then the entire camp will also have the capital to rise, and in a little time it will be able to rise in the northern frontier of the orc empire.
As the days passed, the mud in the above-earth world accumulated more and more, and the underground world changed day by day, the original arrow towers were all torn down, and now they were all replaced with iron, and all around the camp were replaced with heavy and solid iron railings, and the orc warriors patrolling the underground world were all wearing heavy armor, and even the Fox crossbow archers were replaced with a slightly thinner iron armor, wrapping their whole bodies inside.
The four hundred swordgazelle spear throwers were even more armed like steel monsters, and each of them had an extra gun bag on their backs, all of which contained ten throwing spears made of a hundred refined steel!
At this time, the underground world is like a complex of training ground and smelter, the fire of smelting is endless, the training horn is like a day by day, and all kinds of actual combat training and military training are in full swing in the underground world, just waiting for the moment when the wings are full, it will sweep the entire underground world.
Everything is ready now, but there is only one thing missing, that is, there are not enough soldiers!
Don't think about the tribes within hundreds of miles, they have basically been hollowed out by Xing Xiaotian, if you want to get more soldiers, there are only two ways, one is to go further, use the existing things of the tribe to exchange the population with other tribes, and the other is ~~ plunder!
Just after defeating the Wolf Legion, will it be too conspicuous to attack other tribes?
The war with the Wolf Legion can also be blamed on the defense of the territory, but attacking other tribes is the * naked expansion. The Orc Empire may allow a human merchant to fight an army while guarding his property, but it is impossible for a human to expand his power within his own territory.
Then there is only one way to go, trading!
Do you really want to run the road of business to the end?
Rely on~~ Then do it, Xing Xiaotian has never been a procrastinator. The moment he made up his mind again, he started to walk in the direction where Zhao Liang was.
When Xing Xiaotian saw Zhao Liang. He was forging a long knife, and the small hammer in his hand knocked out a little spark on the red knife body, not in a hurry or impatient, quite a bit of leisurely taste, but as soon as he saw Xing Xiaotian, Zhao Liang's good interest was gone, and he didn't hide his stinky face at all and asked, "Say, let me help you build something?" ”
"Huh. Or Master Zhao understands me, what is that, I want you to help me build ten sleds! ”
"Going far away?"
As soon as Xing Xiaotian finished speaking, Zhao Liang reacted, but before Xing Xiaotian could explain his words, Zhao Liang made a gesture of "Don't tell me", and asked in a deep tone: "When do you want it, and what size do you want it?" ”
Since Zhao Liang is so happy, there is no need for Xing Xiaotian to hide it, and said generously: "Two meters wide." Six meters long, you don't have to be pretty, just practical! Can it work? ”
"Give me the word "no" and come back in a week to get it! ”
Say it's a week. In fact, Zhao Liang has completed all the work in five days, and the newly made ten sleds look like a small boat with its tail cut off, with the "tip" slightly upturned, and the hull is cast into a "well" shaped support frame with solid steel bars, and the two thick iron sheets like huge skis connected below are raised high at both ends.
It's like what Xing Xiaotian demanded, it's not good-looking, but it's very practical!
Ten sleds are not heavy, and just ten Gazelles can be easily resisted. It's just that in the process again, Xing Xiaotian has been emphasizing. Don't bump it.
Aerial ropeways have already been built at the top and foot of the gravel valley to transport the ten sleds. Xing Xiaotian dragged it and tried it, and it was a little laborious when he started, but it soon became brisk, which showed that the skateboard under the sled was smooth, and it seemed that Zhao Liang was really not fooling.
This trip is hundreds of miles, the distance is not short, and the most important thing is that there are not enough animals in the camp to pull the sled, but this is not difficult for Xing Xiaotian, as early as the day Xing Xiaotian ordered Zhao Liang to make a sled, he went back to modern times and bought ten white parachutes online.
The howling north wind brings cold air, and at the same time, it can also provide endless power for Xing Xiaotian.
Under Xing Xiaotian's order, the whole head of the cow was loaded into the car, but he brought more pots and pans and other miscellaneous items, as for the sword, he didn't bring any of them.
For the sake of prudence, Xing Xiaotian only sent two squads to accompany him, namely the two old teams of kobold and fox.
The two squads selected by Xing Xiaotian were all very excited, because what they had seen and heard along the way was enough for them to brag about for a long time, not to mention that they would bring back the population that the camp was in dire need now.
As soon as he was ready, Xing Xiaotian opened the two parachutes in public, and tied the parachute ropes on both sides of the "head car", and then opened the parachute little by little against the wind, which was very troublesome at first, but when the parachute opened a corner, the rest was much simpler, the howling north wind helped Xing Xiaotian complete the rest of the work, and a huge "white mushroom" suddenly unfolded under the stunned gaze of those orc warriors, and the "head car" was violently pulled.
Xing Xiaotian's method was very simple, just like the sails of ancient times, except that he moved the sails to the snow.
One parachute was obviously not enough to pull the entire convoy, and when the second parachute opened, the convoy began to move slowly.
"Hold the car, don't let it move!"
Under Xing Xiaotian's order, the orc warriors who were watching surrounded each other and dragged the sides of the sleigh one after another.
The third parachute, the fourth parachute...... When the sixth parachute opened, everyone was already a little unable to control the progress of the sled car, and the six parachutes with full wind brought a huge pull, dragging everyone forward, and a long drag mark was pulled out under everyone's feet.
"Get in the car! Get in! ”
It wasn't until the two selected teams jumped on the sleigh that the situation improved, and just a moment before Xing Xiaotian was about to come out, a beautiful figure jumped onto the sleigh car at the head, Nicole!?
"Why are you here?"
"If you want to know about the whole gravel wasteland, I don't think there is anyone in the entire camp who can compare to me, how much can you save with an extra guide, isn't it?"
Xing Xiaotian thought about it, and it was true, and immediately smiled boldly: "Then let's go, brothers, let it go!" ”
With the retreating crowd, the entire convoy glided out with visible degrees to the naked eye, like a small train running on the snow, and it didn't take long for the entire camp to be left far behind.
The orc warriors who rode the sleigh for the first time were very curious, and some even climbed the wall to study how the sled cars moved, but unfortunately they never found anything!
In fact, with the existing manpower is enough to pull these sleighs, but that will definitely take a lot of time and body, so is it comfortable to sit on the sleigh?
Nicole stared at Xing Xiaotian with great curiosity, at first she just wanted to find a place to settle down because she was tired, but the longer she was in contact with Xing Xiaotian, the more secrets she had in this man, the brave posture, the endless methods, and the non-discriminatory smile, all of them were tempting Nicole to find out.
When a woman is curious about a man, it also means that her fall is not far off.
In order to test the degree, Xing Xiaotian took the lead in jumping off the sleigh and ran for a while, which was not laborious but not easy, even if there were no forty miles, there were about thirty miles, which was converted to about nine meters per second, which was about the same as the degree of the Olympic 100-meter athletes, and it was just the degree that the orc warriors could keep up with.
Sitting in the open air for a long time can make people's body temperature lose unconsciously, Xing Xiaotian didn't want to lose staff because of frostbite, so every once in a while, he drove a team down and let them run on both sides of the team, until they moved their whole body, Xing Xiaotian would let them climb into the sleigh car, and then change to another team to run down.
According to this degree, as long as it takes one day and one night, Xing Xiaotian and the others can travel thousands of miles away, which is simply fast compared to relying on animal power.
In the early morning of the next day, a little orange fire appeared in the vision of Xing Xiaotian and others, and they finally saw the crowd~! (To be continued)
