Chapter 268: The Current Situation in Fetanburg
Night has fallen before you know it, but the greenskin camp is still bustling with activity.
The stars in the distance came from the little spirits who were still working overtime, and under the combined light of the moonlight and the lights in the windows of the house, Urzago could see his surroundings clearly.
It's a house with nothing special on the outside, with a stone foundation, a wood patchwork body, and some greenskin-specific embellishments - bones and fur of unknown creatures, everything is very much in line with the greenskin's aesthetic.
The most special thing is that there is a mountain of garbage piled up with all kinds of discarded and broken rubbish outside the house, which is huge and messy, and at a glance, there are all kinds of messy things, from broken blades to broken copper and iron, to processed wood and fur.
In addition, Urzago discovered that there were many forest spider riders from the "Steel Rock" in the open space around the house, and the number was unknown.
Most of these forest goblins are chatting and farting, or simply dozing off on giant spiders, with only two guys dressed as bosses guarding the doorway.
By the light, Urzago looked at the two of them slightly.
The green-skinned one on the left is as tall as an orc, but his waist is more than a circle thicker, and his appearance is completely different from that of a normal orc, without the iconic large jaw and fangs that protrude from the corners of his mouth, only a slender nose and pointed ears.
the hair! This thing turned out to be a goblin?!
Looking at it like this, this figure, coupled with the two single-edged short axes around his waist that are not necessarily sharp but definitely heavy enough, is the reincarnation of the big stomach king of the year!
However, Urzago soon realized that something was wrong, that the overweight creature had a much lighter complexion than the average goblin, and that it didn't match his exaggerated size at all, that it wasn't green enough, but that it was just like a weak little fart.
In addition to this orc physique, goblin face, fart color green skin, another forest goblin with a cold aura is not so strange, he knows that the other party's name is Snagra, and the big spider next to him is his mount, and his strength is quite good, enough to be the boss in a small or even medium-sized tribe.
These two leaders who are obviously not good at stubble are guarding the door, and the identity of the loud voice inside is about to come out, seeing that this place is so heavily guarded, what is it?
Without waiting for Urzago to ask, the door in front of him suddenly opened from the inside, and the stone figure walked out, and he was not too surprised when he saw the wild orcs with a smile on his face, but asked loudly:
"Green Prophet, I'm too busy to greet you, how about it, I'm not bad here."
Although he despised the triumphant appearance of the black orcs, Urzago was very honest and nodded:
"Far beyond my imagination, what is this place called? The industrial park of Ironforge? the hair! I've never seen such smart ass, and there are so many, I wonder how they grow! ”
Stone likes to hear others praise him the most, especially when he hears a green-skinned man praise the tribe he has built with one hand and one foot, it feels even cooler than fighting hard, and when he is happy, he continues to show off.
"Those little dishes are really good, but they are nothing to us, come on, come in, come inside, I'll show you the real good things."
After saying that, he turned his head to the two leaders at the door and said:
"Just have the Broken Tooth Guards guard here, Lao Si, as I said before, you take the spider riders to Thunder Bluff, exchange Hawkeye and his people back, and then you guard there and continue to work."
The forest goblin hero nodded, rolled over and rode his "Black Lady", whistling loudly into the air as he went.
As soon as the whistle fell, there were countless shadows in the shadows, echoing with the howling wind at night, forming a terrifying and beautiful music.
It's those more than a thousand forest spider riders.
Only then did Urzago react, it turned out that what he had just seen was only a small part of it, and more forest goblins were still hidden in the dark.
The stone brought them from the "Iron Rock" to replace Hawkeye and his wolf cavalry.
The reason is simple, the people of Snagra are better at fighting in the dense forests of the Rabid Trail, and with these ghostly creatures, the caravans passing through this choke point are sure to be in bad luck.
Since returning from "Fetanburg", Stone has arranged all the few hundred goblin wolf cavalry of the tribe in the "Thunder Cliff" according to the previous plan, asking them to cooperate with the "Brotherhood of Gundred" in the mountains, and through the accurate information provided by these bandits, while guarding the northern barrier of the territory, attack the passing caravans and get some oil and water.
How can the unprofitable territory develop and grow, not to mention the former rich man, the "Fetaberg" side is now mud Allah crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect itself.
After a life-and-death battle with Zareth, the invaders were repelled with the support of their undisclosed allies, but Fetanburg himself was devastated.
After the war, repairing houses, recruiting troops, and stabilizing people's hearts and minds all cost a lot of money, not to mention the death of Matthew Halifax, the beloved old city owner, who was wounded by a traitor.
After suffering a series of major blows, Fitandila, the owner of the new city, tried his best to rebuild his home with his people, but had to bow his head on the other hand, and Torrep consulted with his allies whether he could postpone the surrender of his belongings for two years under the new trade deal.
When Matthew was still there, in order to say that he would send troops to help him solve the sudden appearance of undead creatures in the "Valley of the Dead Tomb", he promised to increase the annual income from 20% to 30%, although he is now dead, but Fitandila has no intention of denying it.
Whatever the reason, maybe it was because they had fought alongside the Stone and knew what it would mean to be enemies of the Broken Claw Tribe, or maybe it was because the Greenskins had helped them defeat the Zareth and keep their fortress.
Anyway, the new lord quickly signed a new agreement with Rip, the representative of the stone, but at the same time asked for a two-year delay before the execution began.
After receiving the news, Stone hesitated a little and agreed, but he put forward one condition, that is, Fitandila took a large shop in the most prosperous commercial area of "Fetanburg" to do business with the Chamber of Commerce established by the "Forgiveness Mercenary Group", and as long as she was still the city lord, she could not collect a copper plate tax from the new Chamber of Commerce.
The simple Fitandila thought that she had taken advantage of it, and she didn't think too much about it at all, and immediately agreed to this condition, who knew that this would become the most regrettable thing in the life of the future "Count of White Vitex", and at the same time, it may also be the most proud thing.
A few years later, some said that this decision cost Fetanburg more than 100,000 gold crowns a year in taxes, while others said that it was thanks to the creation of this new chamber of commerce called "Redemption" that Fetanburg was able to rise from the ashes of war as quickly as possible.
No matter so much, it looks like now anyway. It seems to be a bit of a loss for a stone to exchange at least 200,000 gold coins for a shop that is no longer worth much money and a tax exemption policy, but the black orcs believe that with the development of the territory, more and more good things will be produced in the future, and this little gold coins will soon be earned back by the shop.
