Chapter 61: Threats
The roar came from far and near, and a menacing cavalry appeared outside the Earth Dragon Valley.
There are more than 30 cavalry in this team, and they wear a wide variety of armor, and the weapons in their hands are also varied, such as broadswords, hammers, and spears.
The only thing this cavalry is worthy of praise is the ox mount under their crotch.
This ox is larger than the black ox, with a shoulder height of nearly two meters, a body length of nearly four meters, and four short horns on the top of its head, which looks very similar to the four-horned monster ox.
At this time, the caravan of Shanli Village had just passed through the gate of the parapet wall, and the appearance of this group of ox cavalry immediately made the villagers of Shanli become confused.
Mu Lao's face changed, and he said secretly: "How could those reckless men in Manniu Village find Dilong Valley?" ”
Meng Chen, who was standing behind the parapet, said secretly in his heart: "It seems that the person who came is not good!" ”
Meng Chen asked Alfred beside him softly, "Alfred, how many soldiers do we have nearby?" ”
Alfred bowed and said, "Lord Lord, in addition to the garrison of fifty people, there are also 50 elite swordsmen, 50 elite archers, and fourteen three-bow bed crossbows hidden in the grass fern bushes behind the fortress. ”
Meng Chen nodded and said, "Very good!" ”
Fifty meters away from the parapet, the scalper cavalry reined in their mounts and slowly stopped their charge.
And the position where the scalper cavalry stopped happened to block the road of the caravan in Shanli Village.
At this time, the leading scalper cavalry, driving the mount a few steps forward, shouted at Mu Lao: "Mu Lao Er, let me arrest you!" Do you think I won't be able to find a place without telling me? ”
Mu Lao, whose face was ugly, said loudly: "Niu Hanzi, what do you want to do here?" ”
"Of course it's to make a deal! Mu Er, you are not kind! A set of tattered swordsman equipment, just exchange me for a black cow, are you so easy to deceive when I am a barbarian cow village? Niu Han pointed at Mu Lao and scolded.
"Trading is something you want me to do. If you don't want to trade, who can force you to not do it? Mu Lao said in a deep voice.
"Humph!"
Niu Han snorted coldly and said, "Second Mu, I won't embarrass you today." As long as you spit out all the things that you cheated on me before, I will let you go. Otherwise...... Don't blame me for not being emotional! ”
When Mu Lao heard this, he trembled with anger, and scolded secretly: "Damn Niu Hanzi, it's just a shameless bastard!" ”
The mountain beside him said angrily: "Mu Lao, Niu Hanzi is too bullying, or let's fight!" ”
"Fight, what to fight? Niu Hanzi's strength is not weaker than yours, the ox they ride is a hybrid of brute bulls, and a few charges can trample most of us to death! Mu Lao said hatefully.
After thinking about it for a while, Mu Lao sighed and said loudly to Niu Han: "Niu Hanzi, you are ruthless this time!" I bought 80 black cattle from your Manniu Village, the original price was 80 sets of swordsman equipment, and now I will give you 80 sets of swordsman equipment. If you dare to gain an inch again, then our Shanli Village will fight with your Manniu Village! ”
"Hahaha! Mu Lao Er, I heard this kind of cruel words so that my ears were calloused! But...... Who put me in a good mood today? As long as you leave 80 sets of swordsman equipment behind, I'll let you go! Niu Han laughed.
With a wave of his hand, Mu Lao asked the villagers to unload 80 sets of swordsman equipment and throw them in front of the scalper cavalry.
Only then did Niu Han lead the ox cavalry to get out of the way and let the villagers of Shanli Village leave.
After the villagers of Shanli Village left, the ox cavalry turned over and dismounted from the oxen with a smile, picked up the equipment on the ground and tied it to the back of the oxen.
Niu Han drove his mount to the parapet and shouted, "Who of you here can call the shots?" Find someone in charge, there's a big deal coming to the door! ”
After thinking for a moment, Meng Chen ordered the parapet gate to be opened.
Meng Chen led Alfred to stand at the door and said to Niu Han, "Your Excellency is Brother Niu from Manniu Village, right?" Next to him is the Commander of the Soldiers of the Village of Hope, who is responsible for all foreign transactions. ”
Niu Han looked at Alfred and asked Meng Chen, "You are the translator surnamed Meng?" Are these Ocellians the ones who trade weapons and equipment with Shanli Village? ”
Meng Chen nodded and said, "It's Meng Chen down there." The people of Ocellell are willing to make fair deals with anyone. ”
Niu Han waved his hand and said: "My Niu Han has always been fair and reasonable in making transactions. I have a big deal to talk to the people of Ocellrean! ”
Meng Chen smiled and said, "In that case, please invite Brother Niu Han to come in and talk in detail!" ”
Niu Han glanced at the dozens of soldiers inside the parapet, turned his head and beckoned more than thirty scalpers behind him, and entered the Dilong Valley through the gate of the parapet.
Introducing Niu Han into the fortress hall, Meng Chen began to introduce Niu Han to the four suits and the trading rules.
Meng Chen smiled and asked, "How many sets are Brother Niu going to buy?" ”
"What the hell are you doing in the Village of Hope? Why only accept special ores, timber and stone trade, can't the sword coins of Wumeng City be used here? Niu Han complained.
Meng Chen smiled and replied, "This is the rule set by the leader, and we as subordinates can only obey it." ”
"Don't the people of Ocellil need cattle? Those black cattle are just the lowest grades, look at the big yellow cattle I ride, it's an authentic wild cattle hybrid. I use the scalper to trade with you, how about it? Niu Han patted the wooden table and said loudly.
Although there are already 100 Black Bulls in the City of Hope, these Black Bulls are too slow to be used for hauling rather than being mounts.
Therefore, Meng Chen was still very moved by Niu Han's proposal.
After pretending to discuss a few words with Alfred, Meng Chen smiled and said, "Lord Commander accepts to trade with scalpers. Brother Niu thinks that a scalper is worth how many sets of swordsman equipment is worth? ”
Niu Han shook his head and said, "I don't want weapons and equipment!" ”
"Don't want weapons? So what does Brother Niu want? Meng Chen said with a puzzled expression.
Niu Han grinned and said, "I want the blacksmith who forged these weapons and equipment!" ”
"Impossible! The blacksmiths who forge the equipment are all Othar people, and they have a hard time adapting to life outside the Valley of the Dragons. ”
"So what does it matter? As long as the blacksmiths arrive in Manniu Village, we will definitely have good food, good drink, and good wine, and their lives will definitely not be worse than Dilong Valley! ”
"The people of Ocellell will never sell their own people!" Meng Chen firmly refused.
Seeing Meng Chen's refusal, Niu Han's face turned cold, and he snorted: "You haven't communicated with that commander, how do you know that he will refuse?" “
"What if the Othello refuses?" Meng Chen asked in a deep voice.
Niu Han sneered: "If the people of Oseril dare to refuse the friendship of the Barbarian Cow Village...... Do you see my dozens of brothers outside? There are hundreds of scalper cavalry like this. Don't be in time...... Toast without eating and eating penalty wine! ”
Facing Niu Han's threat, Meng Chen's face was gloomy, and he forced a smile: "Brother Niu, please wait a moment, I need to discuss it with the Commander." ”
"Then hurry up! I don't have that much time to spend with you! Niu Han said unceremoniously.
