"Okay then, where exactly is your camp?" Locke got the answer he wanted, and he wanted to continue to get something from these goblins that he desperately needed right now. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Just outside the town of Gadar, just to the south, you can find it when you go." Trader Zax looked at him with blank eyes.

"Okay, then it's decided, I'll buy your grain. Of course I need some other things, it's not convenient to talk about here, wait in your camp, I'll send someone to contact you. "Locke is ready to leave the inn, take a rest, and greet the other officers tomorrow.

"Oh, I knew it! There's definitely money to be made by chatting with you! Trader Zax jumped up excitedly, and then he looked at Locke expectantly and said, "Then the food in our camp..."

"Put it in your camp first, and I'll pick it up when I need it." Locke took out a gold coin and threw it out, and the goblin took it firmly in his hand, and then he bit the gold coin with his teeth, and blew hard, and put it to his ear to listen to the sound.

"This gold coin is a deposit!"

"Hey, that's not in my plan!" Zax, a goblin trader, said with some annoyance.

He put away the gold coins and looked at Locke dissatisfied.

"Time is money, friend. There's no way I'm waiting for your order and losing another customer who is bidding more than you. ”

"Whatever you want, Zax." Locke said nonchalantly. "If you want to move up the trader position, I advise you to listen to me."

"Because I can bring you wealth that you can't even imagine." Locke tempted, after all, there were too many places to use these goblins in the future.

"Alright then, valued customer." Trader Zax's eyes rolled for a moment, and then he continued. "However, if a customer needs food from my camp, and the price is higher than yours, I will sell it, and I will not refund your deposit."

"Whatever you want. However, when you leave, please inform me at the Fifth Legion. We still have some business to talk about. Locke told him that if the goblins ran away, he wouldn't know when he would find them next time.

"Oh, I love doing business with people like you! For the sake of that food, I will also leave someone to contact you. Zax said excitedly.

"See you then, wait for my news." Locke turned away from them.

It was late at night, and there were no pedestrians on the streets of Gadar town. From time to time, members of the marching garrison walked past Locke, and they stopped in line to salute Locke, who nodded to them and continued walking.

For this transaction with the crusaders and goblins, it was also a whim.

There was no money or food in the crusaders, and when I joined at the beginning, I didn't mention the money on me, and now I took it out again, and I couldn't explain the reasonable source. And because of his deep knowledge of the history of the Crusaders and the possibility of division in the future, Locke will not hand over this money, and it is obviously the most reliable to hold it in his own hands.

Through this conversation with the goblins, Locke had a bold idea in his heart.

That is to take the Fifth Legion and go directly to the Silver Pine Forest, and take control of it before the Forsaken.

According to Zax, the goblin is not very good now, but the Forsaken did not send people to occupy it, this is because the Nethercity of the Forsaken has not yet been built, and if they really wait for them to free up, the Silver Pine Forest, a resource-rich place, will be occupied by them.

There are still a large number of Lordaeron and Tirisfa's outcasts, and the remaining natives would be a great force if they could be armed.

The north-flowing shores of the Silver Pine Forest are backed by the endless sea, and in my own impression, it is a natural deep-sea port. The orcs of the tribe also landed from there. If you occupy the northern part of the silver pine forest, you will open up an outlet to the sea.

When the time comes, a port will be established there, and a camp and watchtower will be established in the northern part of the Silver Pine Forest, behind the flanks of Lordaeron, relying on the trade of the goblins. Establish a base at Fenris Fortress on Lake Lordamere to anchor the Forsaken in Lordaeron, so that it can echo the crusaders of Tiriss Fabrell.

Put the Forsaken into the Alterac Mountains and let them follow Icewind Hills into the Eastern Lordaeron region, where they will fight the Scourge.

This is the best opportunity right now!

If this opportunity is missed and the Forsaken enter the Silver Pines Forest first, it will be difficult to hold Sylvanas hostage.

Now, all this planning is inseparable from these little things!

Although these goblins are greedy, if they are used well, their plans can go smoothly.

Compared to the future Lordaeron, money is not an issue at all.

Speaking of the goblin race, despite their seemingly chaotic appearance, goblins have a clear and straightforward hierarchy.

They are broadly divided into eight classes.

Slaves, as the name suggests. In goblin societies, the slave trade was illegal but rampant. Simply given no rights, slaves were used for the hardest manual labor, or other miserable occupations, and had no rights at all.

Commoners and workers, less than traders and wholesalers, were commoners and workers, and were generally slightly higher than slaves. Most of the goblins, the lower classes, work long hours for a little money, or even less pay. Most of them want to become traders or journeymen to earn a comfortable place in the middle or upper class.

Traders and wholesalers, it's really hard to rank traders and wholesalers, because some can be poor, some are very rich, but even the lowest traders are comfortable sitting in the middle class. These guys sold goods, including handmade or, more commonly, black market goods, under the rule of the Princes of Trade. Traders travel the world to sell their wares, while wholesalers set up shop for the giants and/or barons. Most of the lowly goblins want to become wholesalers and traders.

Trade fleet class, where the captain manages an entire ship, while some manage the entire trade fleet under a trade prince. The assigned fleet commander manages multiple trade fleets. The captain occasionally managed his private merchant ships, although he still had to pay taxes to the trading princes.

Slave owners, who were wealthy merchants, were obviously running a slave alliance on Kozan Island, or simply owning a few slaves for their own use. Although the Prince of Trade acquiesced to the existence of the Slave Union, the slave trade was silent. The goblins don't want to offend potential customers who might oppose this controversial trade, but it's a very lucrative deal.

Baron, for every piece of land owned by the Prince of Trade, there was a baron who served as an executive to manage the land and property.

The giants, the right and left hands of the trading princes, are entrepreneurs: men and women who perform all kinds of business, such as logging, drilling, mining, and other similar activities around the world. Venture capital giant Razdenk is an example of this.

The Prince of Trade, the five more or fewer leaders of the goblin world, each with their own private armies or legions, controls the lands of Azeroth, and collectively leads trade alliances.

These strict hierarchies have made most goblins work hard to climb up all their lives, but none of them can climb to the top at all.

With the scale of Lordaeron's subsequent rebuilding and the war, it was enough to make a goblin rush to the position of a baron or a trade magnate, and if this goblin trader Zax really had a good nose, he would definitely wait for him.

The advantage of this is that it will be able to get at least one Trade Prince to join Lordaeron's side, and even if they don't, it will keep them neutral. It will no longer be the case that it will lean towards the tribe or fall into the tribal camp.

Now it's only his own Fifth Legion, if you can get all the people, then you will immediately enter the Silver Pine Forest!

Eager for his future plans, Locke returned to the station, packed up everything and went to rest early.

And here in the goblin camp, there is a group of goblins discussing something.

"Zax, do you really believe that these humans can come up with that much money?" A goblin in a tattered teal shirt asked, Trader Zax. "They can't even afford food now."

The other goblins began to talk about it, apparently mostly in favor.

"Quiet! You idiots! Zax said with a look of disdain.

"You only see the immediate benefits, but you don't think about the long-term benefits in the future. Now the human kingdom is at war with the undead, and even if they defeat the undead, they will still have to face the free-will undead in King Cheng Cheng of Lordaeron. What does this mean? Innumerable riches! ”

Trader Zax looked at his companion with disdain. "Think about it, aren't food, weapons, minerals, daily necessities, etc., all gold coins? As long as we can get their exclusive purchasing rights! Your Excellency Strymwilder, Prince of Trade, may allow us to set up a company! ”

"A big company like a venture capital firm! Got it?! Fools! Trader Zax yelled at his subordinates.

"So, be kind to these humans! They are the key to our take-off! ”

"And what if they don't have any money in the future?" A goblin said questioningly. "We can't keep losing money in our caravan, can we?!"

"That's right! That is, all the money I paid to marry Colleen was invested in this business operation! ”

"What! Are you going to marry Colleen? How did I not know? ”

"Because I have more gold than you! Colleen loves my gold, haha. ”

Listening to the noisy goblins below, the trader Zax yelled. "Quiet!"

"If they can't come up with the money to buy the grain we have in stock, we'll let them mortgage the gold mines in the Silver Pine Forest!" Zax said with a smile.

"Oh?"

"Gold Mine?!"

The goblins began to talk again.

"Yes, fools, do you know why I have to go over there, there are rich gold ore resources in the human kingdom of Lordaeron, as well as copper ore and silver ore, this is all money! Before the war, it was one of the main sources of human currency! ”

"Before the trade, I will write an agreement, if they don't have the money, we can give them the grain temporarily, but we need to hand over the gold coins to us within a certain period of time, otherwise we will have to hand over the mines to us to mine." We've only had mining rights for a few years, and think about it, the gold that's rolling in."

Trader Zax fantasized about stretching out his palm, "Shoot me, Gold!" ”

"But those mines are long gone, and there are a lot of undead and other monsters in them. Even if it's cleaned up, no one will come to mine! A goblin questioned.

"Idiot! Don't you believe in the armies of our goblins? Don't you know that we also have an identity as a slave trader?! Will the slave trader still have fewer slaves? ”

"Alright then, now it's up to that human officer to dare to sign this agreement."

"Don't worry, he will. As far as I know, the Fifth Army is short of food, and they have to go out for training, and he will accept it. ”
