Chapter 286: The Greenskins Attack

The dwarf tilted his head and stared at the demon hunter with sincere eyes for nearly a minute, Xu Yichen could see the red blood spreading on the dwarf's eyes, but he still didn't speak, neither agreed nor refused.

Groyin put away his expression, seemed to have made up his mind, and said fiercely: "Okay! If you agree to give me the veins to mine, I can recruit my people and brothers! They are all the best miners! At the same time, they are all excellent blacksmiths and good warriors! ”

The demon hunter still didn't speak, he waited for the dwarf to make his request.

"All the dwarves you've gathered, including me, will join your warband!" Groyin carefully weighed the pros and cons: "I can probably call four or five people!" It's all for you! But I want 30% of the iron ore produced every year! ”

"Twenty percent, although I don't know how to smelt, but I'm not stupid." Xu Yichen walked to the ore pile not far away, picked up an inconspicuous stone, and said to the dwarf: "This is a rich mine, the metal content of the ore is almost more than 70%, and the annual output of 20% is enough to hire a whole shipload of miners." ”

The dwarf's face turned red all of a sudden: "Moradin's beard! We are dwarves, and mining and iron are as important to us as air and water! How can you compare miners to us! We are professionals! ”

"Twenty percent, not including you, at least give me five more dwarves!" The demon hunters didn't know the market for iron ore here, and they only guessed the value of this vein through the dwarves' expressions.

To put it simply, Xu Yichen was playing Gloyin, but the effect seemed to be good, and the dwarf seemed to have a vague sense of compromise, so the demon hunter added in time: "What's more, everyone in the warband builds personal equipment from you, for free!" ”

The dwarf Gloyin looked like he was about to have a heart attack, and clutched his heart: "This can't be! You're a robber! Do you know how many rare metals are needed to craft weapons for you transcendentals? How many gems are used? How many alchemical potions are used? ”

It seems that this is a bit beyond the bottom line, and the demon hunter added: "The materials are their own responsibility, and you and your brothers can provide labor and substrates." ”

The dwarf, who had a frightened expression just now, suddenly returned to his previous mean merchant's true colors, spat on his right hand, and grabbed the hand of the demon hunter before the other party could react.

"Reasonable! I agreed! The dwarf shook Xu Yichen's arm with a smile: "I'll write a letter to my clansmen and ask them to transfer the best young people in the tribe over!" Let's sign a contract now! This kind of thing, or is it safer to put it on paper, right? ”

A sharp whistle freed Xu Yichen from this awkward negotiation.

The demon hunter withdrew his hand from the dwarf's palm, and while Marx was not paying attention, he touched his back: "It's the alarm of the green skins!" I'll go over and have a look! ”

After speaking, Xu Yichen rushed out without looking back, while Marx coughed lightly, and said to the dwarf with a smile on his face: "Our Seris is obviously a pure warrior, don't trouble him with these trivial things, let's talk about the joint development of this vein, I personally believe in the reputation of the dwarves, I think ......."

Groyin looked at the smiling Marx in front of him helplessly, he didn't want to talk to the man in front of him about the voice, he had realized this man's shrewdness when he was building tools and weapons before.

He is not only proficient in various business models, but also involved in metallurgy, mining, planting, and construction, and there is almost nothing he does not understand.

Groyin sighed appointatively, put on a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, took out a small bench, and sat down at the table, intending to start a painful time, as for the greenskin? The demon hunter is more aaagh than them, let them roar at them.

When Xu Yichen rushed to the city wall, he saw that the refugees of nearly 200 people outside the castle were fleeing in panic in the direction of the city wall, and behind them, more than 40 greenskins were holding their weapons and roaring with their teeth and claws.

Because the castle itself is not large, it can only accommodate less than a thousand people, and the previous greenskin tribe has been doing evil here, and it has fallen into disrepair for a long time, and many places need to be renovated before they can be used.

So most of the refugees were temporarily living in makeshift camps outside the castle, but thanks to the church's support of enough tents and the simple wooden huts that had been cut down in the past few days, everyone finally had two places to stay.

In order to prevent unnecessary casualties caused by the sudden attack of the greenskins, most of the wounded and the immobile old people and children had been arranged by Marx within the castle grounds before the sun went down yesterday.

There were less than 200 of them, most of them children, after all, most of the people who survived the disaster that swept the city before were young adults.

The rest of the people were divided into two parts, most of them were arranged at the foot of the city wall and radiated outward, and more than 200 people were specially selected to rest as a guard post not far from the Black Forest.

Their job was to spot an enemy attack, raise the alarm, and flee, and it was these people that the demon hunters saw now, and of course many laborers who were looking at the trees on the edge of the Black Forest.

The strong green skin is much faster than humans in terms of running speed, and it is not unreasonable for them to call humans small shrimps, most of the adult green skins are two meters tall, and they have strong muscles, and they can easily wield weapons of thirty or fifty pounds.

Fortunately, Mancini and his team of mercenaries were at the end of the line with the militia, covering the rest of the group, and the militia gathered together to protect the flanks of the mercenary team with their own weapons.

Mancini led them to a stop-and-stop run, firing crossbow bolts backwards, causing the greenskins chasing after them to roar.

At the head of the line was the Shadow Assassin Colin, who seemed to have informed everyone of the Greenskin's attack in advance, otherwise they wouldn't have had time to escape.

He was running ahead of everyone without grace, and by the time Mancini was a hundred meters away from the walls, he had already scurried to the Demon Hunter.

The samurai and Li Yanlong had already rushed out of the city gate with their weapons, and the ranger's first arrow had already been thrown, hitting a greenskin's head diagonally from above.
