Five days later, Rabid Dog Trail.

A large convoy was slowly moving along the narrow mountain road, from east to west, dozens of large carriages were connected end to end, like a long snake winding, occupying the mountain path.

In addition to the wagons full of goods, the convoy naturally had a large number of well-equipped guards, otherwise I was afraid that as soon as I entered the rabid dog trail, it would be looted by the rogue bandits who came and went like the wind, and there were no pants left.

These guards were either on horseback or on foot, although the formation was loose, but all of them exuded a fierce aura, constantly looking at the jungle on both sides of the road, their eyes faintly full of murderous aura, at a glance they were battle-hardened warriors.

In addition to most of the human soldiers wearing strange standard armor, there are also a few alien mercenaries of different shapes and appearances, which are very conspicuous.

Among them were Chaos Dwarven Musketeers in pitch-black plate armor and tapered crowns, holding repeating muskets, and burly men with a shirtless belly wrapped only in iron plates, revealing a fat body.

The latter is the neighbor of the Chaos Dwarves, another race from the Sorrowful Mountains, the Ogre.

These two races are not very good-tempered, and now they appear in the same human caravan, and they still look like they are hired, which can be said to be extremely rare.

In the largest carriage in the middle of the convoy, two people sat up.

Near the door was a wealthy middle-aged man, covered in silk and satin, and the other sat inside, dressed in a black robe that blended with the shadows, and his face could not be seen clearly.

The middle-aged man is Shen Fu of the "Shen Chamber of Commerce" of the Aurora Celestial Empire, the steward of this caravan, and he is thinking about the route of the convoy after it arrives in the old world.

The caravan departed from Weijing, the capital of Aurora, and traveled west along the "Silk Road", crossing the Sorrow Mountains and crossing the Dark Lands, and as long as it passed through Fetanburg at the Rabid Dog Pass in front, it was considered to have officially entered the territory of the Old World.

According to the previous route, the convoy would pass directly through the border prince's territory, turn north, and enter the empire through the famous Blackfire Pass, first passing through the two largest cities of Nunn and Aldolph, and finally reach the destination, the most prosperous and dynamic city in the Old World, Fort Marion.

It must have been lively to hear that the former imperial pearl had just declared its independence, and there, he would exchange all the goods on the carriage for the specialties of the old world, and then return to Aurora in the Far East.

With the development of seafaring and shipbuilding, there were not many Aurora caravans willing to travel long distances by land, and more and more merchants chose to sail directly to Marienburg.

Shen Fu's "Shen Chamber of Commerce" is no exception, there is a fleet of ships departing from Fuzhou Port every year, but unlike other large chambers of commerce, they still retain the tradition of land caravans, once every five years, and have been traveling for decades, Shen Fu is now the manager of this route.

The ass decides the head, and since he sat in this position, he has been a staunch supporter of land transportation, a diehard in the eyes of others.

According to him, it is too risky to take the sea route, and once you encounter a storm or tsunami, you will have nowhere to run, and there will be no people or goods.

There are also those murderous pirates, now it is becoming more and more rampant, a few years ago even the port of Fuzhou was attacked by the dark elves' black ark, heavy losses, it is said that afterwards His Majesty the Dragon Emperor was furious, directly executed all the officials above the fifth grade in the city, a sensation.

In public and private, Shen Fu has been agitating for the family to increase the scale of trade on the mainland for more than ten years, at least the number of exchanges is more frequent.

In his opinion, after so many years of hard work, whether it is in the Ogre Tribe in the Sorrowful Mountain Range or in the Chaos Dwarf Fortress in the Dark Lands, he has long-term cooperation or friendship forces, which can be better utilized.

For example, this time, he spent a lot of money to hire two teams of alien mercenaries from the "Golden Tooth Tribe" and the "Ash Horn" Chamber of Commerce in the Ggothic Fortress, and they ate and drank along the way.

Shen Fu also changed his original plan, buying and selling along the way as he walked, and now in addition to silk, porcelain, and tea from Aurora, the convoy also had a large number of ivory, rhino horn, medicinal herbs, and weapons and armor bought from the Chaos Dwarves.

These things are in high demand in both Aurora and the Old World, and when all the goods are sold out in Marienburg, and then bring the jewels of the Old World, the beer of the dwarves, and the crafts of the elves back the same way, most of them will be brought back to Aurora, and a small part will be exchanged for special products with this foreign race, which can not only enhance the relationship with them, but also make another profit.

Shen Fu calculated that in this way, he would make money inside and out, and the profit would be at least fifty percent more than the original estimate.

Few? You know, the original estimated profit is already twenty times, so if everything goes well, when he returns to Weijing, the total value of the goods in the convoy will be thirty times that of departure! And that's just a conservative estimate! Probably more!

He believes that when the time comes to put these priceless goods in front of the patriarch, his status in the clan will definitely be greatly improved, and then they will have to pay attention to the Silk Road in their hands, maybe in a few years, the position of the patriarch will also be his turn to sit!

After all, he is the only one who can deal with these primitive ogres and cunning Chaos Dwarves, and no one else can do it!

Aurora businessmen, if you want to learn to do business, you must first learn to be a person, as long as the relationship is good, are you afraid that there will be no business to do?

Just when Shen Fu was fantasizing about a better day in the future, the car door was suddenly opened, and a white and chubby head came in, with facial features very similar to him.

"Daddy...... Uh, no, Steward Shen, there is a situation ahead, can you come out and take a look? ”

The little fat man who interrupted Shen Fu's dream was his debt of love the night twenty years ago, but the roar of the Hedong lion in his family was too powerful, and he didn't dare to take it back when he was old, so he had to arrange an errand in his caravan casually to take care of, and he said that he was a distant nephew.

Shen Fu thought his son was too frizzy, so he first stared at him fiercely, and then turned around and whispered to the car:

"Mr. Ma, I'll go down and take a look."

The other man in the carriage whose face he couldn't see snorted softly, and there was no movement, like a ghost that didn't exist.

Shen Fu got out of the car, first raised his son's ear and taught a few words, and then followed him to the front of the convoy, and found something strange at a glance.

He has also walked the rabid dog trail a few times, and he has seen any strong winds and waves, but this time he saw the hell!

Deep in the jungle on the left hand side of the road, he could faintly see a majestic town, standing alone in the woods, as if it had fallen from the sky.

The point is, from a distance, the appearance of this town is very different from the old world castle he has seen, but at first glance, it is very similar to the city of his hometown Aurora!

Shen Fugang wanted to command the convoy to get closer, but suddenly found that there was no road in the woods in front of him, and the convoy couldn't get in if he wanted to.

At this time, the captain of the caravan's escort also came up to greet him, his face was very serious, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he suggested that Shen Fu leave this place quickly.

"Steward Shen, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's leave quickly, right?"

"Why, Captain Chen, don't you see that the city wall is very similar to our Aurora Celestial Empire? Maybe there are people from the Celestial Empire here. ”

Captain Chen first nodded, then shook his head and said:

"Of course I can see it, but if you look closely, there are no humans on the wall! It's all green-skinned! ”

"Greenskin?!"

Shen Fu was startled, and quickly took out a monocular from his arms, and took a closer look, sure enough, the materials used in the city wall were indeed green bricks that only Aurora had, but all the people walking on it were dense green skin!

He naturally knew the horror of these green mushrooms for many years, and it was not that he had never encountered them in the Rabid Trail before, and he knew that if these naturally aggressive violent maniacs discovered their caravan, it would definitely be an inevitable battle.

Thinking of this, Shen Fu quickly dispelled the curiosity and doubts in his heart, and beckoned the caravan to hurry on the road, but he firmly remembered the location of this town.
