Then there are the fish of the Golong River.

Before the establishment of Tucheng, there was no fishery in the Black Stone Collar, and although there were some fish in the Gem Lake, the production was too small, and it could only be caught in small quantities, which was not an industry.

With the prosperity of Tucheng, the resources of the Gelong River began to be exploited in all aspects, and fishing is one of them.

There is also a construction speed, and Malone did smile when he saw it.

It can be said that he started by construction, and when he was in Semburg, he relied on the rapid construction of the altar to enter the sight of the high-rise.

Later, in the construction of Black Rock City, Ma Long was also the main force among the main forces, and Tucheng also had a lot of things that he personally handed.

Looking at this bonus, Ma Long's heart was full of nostalgia......

Close the panel, get up and leave the house, he still has a lot of things to do, and he can't waste time here in a daze.

In the next few days, Ma Long made some preparations in advance for the southward expedition, such as troop deployment, logistics and transportation, and so on.

Although he doesn't need to preside over the arrangement himself, he still needs to ask and understand, so that he knows what to do.

Going south is not a trivial matter, and you must not just go, although there are logistical supplies arranged by the kingdom along the way, but you can't rely entirely on others, and you still have to do what you should do......

When Ma Long came to the dock area, he immediately felt lively, the whole area was in a state of noise, and the already hot weather seemed to be a little hotter here.

Workers carrying supplies, caravans haggling, fishmen shouting and selling, humans, dwarves, goblins...... Forming a lively scene.

Looking up, hundreds of boats on the river are contending, fish boats and cargo ships are flowing endlessly, competing for wonders and colors, and all kinds of ships are loaded with goods, constantly going back and forth between the two sides of the strait.

On the other side of the river is a small bazaar, which was originally used by the dwarves to transport supplies, and later became a place for the dwarves to trade with the barbarians on the north bank.

Recently, there have been many bold businessmen who have gone directly to pick up goods, selected high-quality goods at cheaper prices, and even traded directly with barbarians!

Of course, you'll have to be a local merchant in Blackstone, and if you're from outside, you'll have to wait for the dwarves to bring the goods ashore.

The price is naturally higher, after all, there is also a freight for crossing the river, and the quality may be a little inferior, but it is also much smarter than the human production itself, and the profit is still very considerable.

Marlon came to the dock to find Goldbeard.

He is now the manager of the Dwarven office in Blackstone, and he has opened a tavern as an office location without doing his job.

I hired a goblin as the shopkeeper and hid at the counter every day to drink.

The tavern business is not bad, not to mention that many merchants compete for favor in order to grab quotas, and the quality of the wine alone can attract a lot of customers.

After obtaining the practice of distilling liquor from the Black Stone Collar, with the dwarf's love of liquor, how could there be a reason not to study!

There is only one direction of their research, and that is Lie, how Lie came about.

There are many people who are not used to drinking it, but there are many who regard it as a treasure!

Malone has always felt that the wine in the dwarven tavern, Goldbeard must drink more than sell.

Stepping into the tavern door, Malone saw Jimmy running around and busy.

Then there was the Golden Beard, as usual, sitting at the counter, holding a bamboo wine glass, slightly drunk.

"Teacher, why are you here?" When Jimmy saw Malone coming in, he hurriedly put down the affairs in his hand and trotted over to salute.

"Why are you here?" Marlon rubbed his hard head, very satisfied!

Since my little sister grew up, she couldn't rub her head and melon seeds casually, but Jimmy didn't have to worry about it at all, anyway, she couldn't grow tall, and it felt just right.

Jimmy was a little helpless to comb his messy hair, he didn't know what to do about his teacher's habit of rubbing his head, and he didn't dare to hide, so he had to suffer, "I came here to help after I prayed in church." ”

Malone nodded in understanding.

Since the development of Tucheng, churches have been built in response to the needs of everyone, and many dwarves who have come to study, including Jimmy, have naturally moved here.

"I'm here to find your uncle." As he spoke, Malone had already walked up to Goldbeard, pulled up a stool, and sat down.

The drunken dwarven boss only found out about Marlon's arrival at this time.

"Haha......"

He laughed and said, "You came just in time, let's have a drink together, I'll please!" ”

The sensible Jimmy didn't need to say hello, he had already come over with the tray automatically.

Malone took the wine glass from his hand and said to Goldbeard, "Aren't you afraid that someone will sue you for child labor?" ”

Goldbeard was stunned for a moment, and wondered: "What child labor?" ”

Malone rubbed his nose helplessly, he was wrong again, there is nothing in this world that you can't hire child labor.

He put the wine glass in his hand to his lips, took a sip, and changed the subject: "Let's get down to business first." ”

Goldbeard squinted his drunken eyes and raised the wine glass in his hand, "Just say it"!

"I'm coming to you to borrow some artillery."

"How much do you want?" Goldbeard asked directly about the number.

"A brigade!"

"So much?" Goldbeard was a little puzzled, I don't know why Ma Long wants so many artillery?

"Go south to fight the orcs!" The Malone glass tilts and drinks a little again.

Nodding, the golden beard said, "I understand, I haven't congratulated you on becoming the earl of the human race." I can't decide the artillery alone, and the king can only decide on such a large quantity, but I will send the news back as soon as possible, and attach my own suggestions. ”

With a slight bow, Ma Long touched his cup with him and said, "Thank you!" ”

As long as Goldbeard can get the news to the Dwarven King as soon as possible, his purpose will be achieved.

Artillery is not something that the dwarves originally had, but they learned it from the goblins when they saw the goblin musket when they were exchanging techniques with the Black Stone Collar.

However, with their nature, they are a little disdainful of the petite shape and lethality of the goblin musket.

Then it was natural for the barrel to be thickened and the charge to increase, and the artillery appeared in this way.

It has to be said that the dwarves are very accomplished in metal refining.

Goblins forging muskets will blow up from time to time, or the problem is solved after technical exchanges, and rifling is added, evolving from smoothbore guns to rifled guns.

The dwarves have no problem directly on the artillery, and they have already formed a formed unit.

The dwarves have gained the upper hand in their cooperation with the barbarians in recent years, and the presence of artillery units has contributed to it......

A few days later, the dwarves sent a message that the king had granted Marlon's request, and not only that, but fearing that there would not be enough operators, directly supported a large artillery unit.

However, when the army set off, it was naturally not as fast as the letter, and if it wanted to reach Tucheng, it would take a while.
