I haven't seen any battleship design drawings in the exchange, so you can imagine the preciousness of the ship's drawings, and this is not a primary ordinary or high-quality ship type, but an excellent quality battleship, and the price of 12,000 gold coins is really cheap.

In addition to the battleship drawings, Lu Cheng also found the matching fire ** paper.

[Primary Cannon** Paper] Ordinary quality, short-barreled 120mm caliber front-loading cannon, can only fire solid shells, weighs 5 tons, and has a maximum range of 2 kilometers.

[Primary rapid-fire ** paper] ordinary quality, short-barreled 75mm caliber front-loading rapid-fire gun, can only fire solid shells, weighs 1.5 tons, and has a maximum range of 1 km.

Materials required (substitutable): 2000 units of steel ingots, 600 units of coke, 300 units of high-quality hardwood, 30 units of iron nails, 50 units of iron sheets, 100 units of bolts, 40 units of ropes, 80 units of tools.

Solid shells (replaceable): 8 iron ingots, 3 coal, and 3 tools each.

Lu Cheng looked at the price, the price of 120mm cannon ** paper is 3000 gold coins, and the price of 75mm rapid-fire ** paper is 1000 gold coins, and even the previous drawings add up to about 19000 gold coins.

Lu Cheng looked at the drawings again and found that there were no other useful drawings, and most of the kobolds' equipment were bronze and a small amount of iron, Lu Cheng couldn't look at it at all, so he could only go back to find minerals.

"Huh!" Lu Cheng suddenly saw a mineral with a particularly high price.

【Flame Iron Ore】Primary fire attribute ore, produced in a hot environment containing special substances of iron ore, with special effects.

The price per unit reached 30 silver, which is 100 times more expensive than iron ore of about 30 copper, and I don't know what the effect of using flame iron to build weapons and equipment will be.

There are only more than 3,000 units of Yan Iron Ore in the kobold warehouse, which is exactly the total price of about 1,000 gold.

"Where did you get this iron ore from?" Lu Cheng asked after selecting all the items.

"My lord, this iron ore was dug from a hot cave underground, but the production is relatively small, and only one piece of iron ore can be found out of 100 pieces of iron ore." Batlló didn't hide that the iron ore is a much higher metal ore than iron ore, but the kobolds are still at the level of refining bronze weapons, and they can't use this high-grade mineral, and it is better to use it to pay off debts than to pile it up in the warehouse and get moldy.

Lu Cheng, who had gained a lot, did not stay long and led the troops to leave the kobold village.

After seeing Lu Cheng and them leave, the Fourth Elder asked hesitantly, "Great Elder, what should we do next?" ”

Batlló glanced at a few people from the Second Elder's faction, and said gloomily: "We have suffered a lot of losses this time, and the Terran Lord has also given us a chance, and we can also recover our losses by dumping iron ore on the Terrans, so there is no need to report it to the Terran side for the time being, what do you see, Second Elder?" ”

The second elder wanted to stumble on Batlló, but if the matter was reported this time, let alone grabbing the position of the great elder, he might not be able to keep his position as the second-in-command, so he could only agree to Batlló's concealment and not report.

Kobold people are good at hole mining, all kinds of iron ore in the warehouse are piled up nearly 10,000 groups, according to the price of 30 silver groups, can also sell thousands of gold, and other types of ores are more, all add up to the value of more than 10,000 gold coins, and the speed of kobold mining is very fast, basically digging thousands of groups of mines every day is not a problem, the daily ore can be worth more than 500 gold, several times higher than usual, according to this income, it will take a few months to make up for all the losses.

"Great Elder, do we really want to make peace with the Terrans?" The Third Elder asked.

"Hmph, of course that's impossible, the news came from my clan before, my clan is closely monitored by the dwarf clan, and we can't mobilize too many people to come over so as not to be noticed by the dwarves, so we can only rely on ourselves. As soon as we find the large magic spring, our people will immediately send a large number of reinforcements to take over the island once and for all, making it a core stronghold of our people. Batlló continued, "Fourth, how is the excavation progressing underground? ”

"Great Elder, we've dug a few new tunnels near the magic tide you sensed last time, but we still haven't found a spring." The Fourth Elder replied.

"Then keep digging deeper, maybe even deeper." The Great Elder said.

Historically, the kobolds were a subsidiary race of the dwarf race for a long time, or more appropriately, slaves, because both races were good at mining, so there were a large number of kobold miners in the dwarf cities, and many of the secret kobolds in the dwarven underground mines knew it well.

When the dragons attacked the Hammer Dwarf Country, the kobolds took advantage of the chaos to get rid of the control of the Hammer Dwarf Kingdom, and a kobold on this island fled and reported a shocking message to the higher-ups, before the dragons released the forbidden spell to attack the fortress city on the island, the dwarves ordered the kobolds to dig tunnels frantically underground, and the dwarves planned to hide underground to avoid the devastating blow, but the dragons came too fast, and the forbidden spell was too powerful, even the dwarves hiding underground were not spared.

In the process of digging the tunnel, the kobold actually found a large magic spring deep underground. Before the kobold could relay the message to the dwarves, the dragon army arrived in the fortress city, and in the chaos, the kobold escaped the utterly destroyed city and brought the news to the kobolds.

But at first, the kobold clan didn't believe in the news, when the dragons attacked the Hammer Dwarf Country, chaos filled this sea area, all the races were desperately trying to escape, a lot of plausible fake news spread everywhere, and some people even swore that there was a powerful artifact in the underground secret vault of the steel castle, the capital of the dwarves, of course, no one would believe that if the Hammer Dwarf Kingdom really had an artifact, there would be no chance to fight with the dragon army, and it would not be easily destroyed as in history.

However, a few years ago, the kobold recorder accidentally found the same information in 3 other records, it turned out that more than one kobold who dug up the large spring escaped that year, and 3 other kobold who escaped also reported the same information, but it was too chaotic at the time, all the records were not carefully organized, and hundreds of years have passed, all the information has been broken, and only one approximate location can be used as a reference.

The strength of the kobold is not as good as the dwarf, although he took advantage of the chaos to get out of the control of the dwarf, but the dwarf did not give up controlling the kobold again, in order to prevent the history of being enslaved again, the kobold had to do everything possible to enhance his strength, and the magician as a high-end force will of course be focused on training, but in the territory controlled by the kobold, there are only a few small magic springs, and the magicians who can be trained every year are very limited, so the importance of a large magic spring is self-evident.

To find the exact location of the magic spring, you need a magician to feel the intermittent magic tide unique to the magic spring, Batlló's most important mission on this island is to find the magic spring, and in the case of the previous magic tides constantly perceiving the direction of correction, Batlló can feel that the underground excavation is not far from the magic spring, and it is expected that the next magic tide will be more than a month away, as long as it is confirmed that this magic spring is indeed large, then the whole clan will immediately move to this island, And as the greatest hero, he will also get great benefits, and joining the elder group of his clan is also a sure thing.

Lu Cheng left the kobold village with the troops and joined the other 2 teams, because more than 300 people from the Ramira family were added, so the 4 ships could not take everyone away at once, so they had to return to the territory in 2 batches, because they were worried about the safety of the territory, the first batch of people who returned to the territory were mainly elite troops and adventurers, and the second batch of people who returned to the territory were more than 100 people from the Ramira family and 300 militiamen responsible for the protection task.

"My lord, our tail is following us again." Leah glanced at the trees in the distance.

Lu Cheng let Chiyan and all the adventurers return to the territory, only Liya stayed behind to be responsible for the protection and monitoring mission, when in the wild, the magician who let go of his hands and feet can exert more terrifying power, and all kinds of auxiliary spells are very useful, and the players who come with him don't know that they have been exposed long ago.

"It's okay, leave them alone, let's go back to the camp and rest." Lu Cheng dragged Liya back to the kobold camp as a temporary resting place.

Lu Cheng is not worried about what tricks these players play, the difference in strength can make these players clearly aware of what they can and can't do. Of course, if someone really doesn't have long eyes, Lu Cheng doesn't mind teaching the other party a profound lesson.

After resting for a while, the militia reported a message to Lu Cheng: "My lord, there is a lord outside the camp who asks to see you. ”

Outside the camp.

Galava's hot eyes stared at the well-equipped militia in front of him, Lu Cheng's militia was uniformly equipped with steel swords and steel armor, most players are still in the stage of iron weapons and even bronze weapons, and the militia team with a full set of steel equipment is very rare, as strong as Galava also used the strength to barely equip 100 people, and Lu Cheng's troops are all steel equipment, and even Galava has seen a lot of teams with better equipment before, which shows that Lu Cheng's strength is far stronger than him.

Of course, Galava didn't want to see a stronger player nearby, and he had to know his opponent before he could defeat him, so he ventured over to find out the details of his fierce opponent, and of course, if the player was a fellow Indian, he would find a way to unite with each other to eliminate all the opponents around him.
