Chapter 164: Want to Play Tomb King!!
It is very simple for the stone to come to such a conclusion, within a radius of a few miles, the only one who is most likely to know his bottom and can get so much real money is "Fetanburg".
It has been two and a half years since the two sides reached a trade alliance, plus the beginning of the year, the other party has paid tribute three times, and all the property worth 300,000 gold coins has gone into the pocket of the stone, otherwise how could he have so many teeth to send to the boys, but this good day seems to be coming to an end.
The imminent movement of "Fetenburg" is also related to the fact that the overall situation around it is getting worse and worse.
Since the beginning of this year, the border prince's territory has changed abruptly, on the one hand, other human forces have begun to squeeze them out openly, asking their chambers of commerce not to trade with these Arabi descendants, so that the amount of trade they rely on for survival has dropped significantly, on the other hand, after paying so much protection money every year, this mysterious ally from the north has not moved at all, how can they have no idea.
Rep had already said that the city lord Matthew Hafacris had already approached him several times, saying that he wanted to send someone to meet the prince of Arthas and deepen the cooperation between the two sides, but he was prevaricated by the mercenary captain.
Last year, Matthew hired a small mercenary group to follow Rep's convoy of escort goods, but he was guessed by the stone, and took the green-skinned boys to ambush them in the woods in advance and kill them cleanly.
Of course, this is also inseparable from the sudden appearance of "Thunder Cliff".
The stone had already expected this, Rep escorted the convoy every year on this road, and now there is a green-skinned fortress here, and "White Fox" Matthew is not a fool, and he will connect the two at the first time.
Only in this way can we explain why not long after the "Thunder Cliff" was built, someone immediately spent a lot of money to hire a group of bandits and launch an attack.
If you want to be someone else, how can you run to provoke the greenskin for no reason without knowing the slightest detail, you must know that in the eyes of normal people, they are all existences that they are afraid to avoid, besides, only the people of "Fetanburg" know that this fortress has oil and water to fish, maybe the 300,000 gold coins are piled up behind the city wall.
In addition, there is also a situation where the bandits, like now, are killed by the greenskins, but they also achieve their purpose, temptation.
In such a place so close to the Rabid Dog Pass, a new green-skinned tribe suddenly appeared, this is not a date, on the side of the couch, how can others be allowed to sleep soundly, whether these greenskins are the people of the Prince of Arthas, whether they can finally break through the city, it is always right to come and find out.
In order to prevent his speculation from being true, the two sides directly tore their faces, and Matthew could not directly send his regular army, so these small groups of thieves who could be commanded by spending a little money became the best candidates, and now they suffered heavy casualties, and the final payment in the back can be saved.
Suspicious, cautious, and free to advance and retreat, he deserves to be the famous "White Fox".
Thinking of this, Stone was shocked and immediately called Sgenara, asking him to lead the swift spider riders into the forest and call back the green-skinned boys who were still chasing the shrimp.
If he guessed correctly, there should be a large army of Fetanburg hiding in the shadows at this time, waiting for the outcome of this siege.
If these bandits can really capture the city gate, then they will appear immediately and pick the fruits of victory, but the stone happened to come to the "Thunder Cliff" today, and brought so many orc boys, the man in black did not dare to act rashly and retreated decisively, and that army must be the same, but in any case, the boys who chased it out were very dangerous, and they must come back quickly.
At the same time, Shi also ordered the goblins who were cleaning the battlefield to speed up, and quickly packed up and retreated to the city, in case there was something he didn't expect in the middle, and if there was really an enemy to kill him, then his own losses would be great.
……
Fortunately, perhaps because these bandits sent their heads too simply, until Sgenara returned with hundreds of unfinished orc boys, the army of "Fetanburg" did not appear, but according to the forest goblins, on the rabid dog trail on the other side of the woods, there were indeed traces of a large group of people and horses just passing by, and the number was as high as thousands, indicating that the other party had withdrawn in advance.
On the wall of "Thunder Cliff", Signara's words can be regarded as verifying the guess in front of the stone, the mysterious man in black must be Matthew's man who did not run, and it doesn't matter who it is.
"Lost! Sure enough, it was the shrimp of "Fetamburg" who was doing things behind the scenes! ”
Shi Shi scolded with a complicated face.
"Boss, let's kill it! These grandsons saved them, and they dared to fight our idea! ”
Skarsnik was not stupid either, and immediately reacted and said murderously.
In fact, he was the last one to fear, if it weren't for the fact that the leader happened to come over today, with the hundreds of goblins under his command alone, even if he could hold on to the attack of the bandits, he would definitely not be able to stop the regular army of human shrimp.
The stone is also just as lucky, fortunately, this time I went to the "Steel Rock" and turned around and came back so many new brothers, if they hadn't gone out of the city and cut the shrimp to cry dad and call mother, it would not be so easy to scare the people of Fetanburg away.
However, despite his displeasure, he firmly rejected the green proposal of the Night Goblin.
There are many reasons for this, now that the boys have just finished the battle, the territory needs time to digest the previous results, rather than stupidly attacking a heavily guarded human fortress.
Although he had not lost the stone skeleton until now, he was not arrogant enough to think that he could climb the walls of "Fetanburg" with a group of newly subdued men without any equipment.
The last person to do this, the ugly bull's head still hangs in front of Orgrimmar's own house.
Besides, even if the fortress is breached, if nothing else, Rep will definitely be finished, and the stone will lose one of its most important sources of information, and at the same time, the biggest source of income every year will be gone.
Anyway, the two sides have not yet torn their faces openly, the previous trade alliance agreement is still there, and the other party will still give money next year, I believe that after this time, they also have a clear understanding of their own strength, and they will definitely be honest for a while.
At least for now, it seems that it is more useful for the Horde to keep them than to destroy them directly!
So the stone decided to wait, and when the territory is built next year and the boys are ready, he will go to them to settle accounts and slaughter them again!
Although he decided not to send troops, this does not mean that the orc lord has not moved, he has never been a person who is beaten silently, since the other party wants to do something, then he must also have something to say, so that the memory of the "white fox" city lord is a little deeper.
"Crouch, I heard you're having a hard time? I'll make a deal with you......"
