Yang Yi was taken aback by the cost of five thousand gold coins. At present, there are a lot of money-making projects in Ratchet Town, but the cost is also a lot, whether it is to buy weapons and equipment for fighting fishmen, wood for construction, various materials for training life occupations, etc., it requires a lot of gold coins.

Ratchet Town currently only has a little over a hundred gold coins, some of which they need to keep in case they need them.

Yang Yi was very distressed, and at this time, several pioneers came over, they were members of the Holy Sword Knights.

The Knights of the Holy Sword noticed that the hundreds of battle fishmen in Ratchet Town had suddenly left the town, and they followed.

"Chief of Fishman Village, you Echinodont Fishmen are trying to establish a new village in the Backwater Oasis?" The leader of the Holy Sword Knights asked Yang Yi.

The head of the Knights of the Holy Sword in the world of Azeroth, whose name is Brute, is a burly man with a full beard, and he looks like a middle-aged man, but his actual age is not yet thirty years old.

Until now, Yang Yi has not announced that Ratchet Village has been upgraded to a small town, so most people don't know about it yet.

Yang Yi didn't answer, he looked at Brut suspiciously.

"That's right, if you ratchet people want to build a village here, and we Knights of the Holy Sword want to invest some money, and then the village will build two and give us a few houses." Brut said cautiously.

"How many houses will I give you?" Yang Yi's mind couldn't turn for a while, and he thought for a while before he suddenly realized.

One of the big problems for the Trailblazers right now is that they don't have a place to be safe. The pioneer has to go up and down the line, and the body will not disappear after going offline, and it is very dangerous to go offline when the safety cannot be guaranteed, so the leader of the Holy Sword Knights thought about buying a few houses from the Fishman Village. It's not just a few houses, but more importantly, the houses are in the Fish-Man Village, which has enough security.

"Throwing money? Investment? The Pioneers have money, so it is better to let the Pioneers invest, so that the station of the Backwater Oasis can be quickly built. But the pioneers are not easy to manage, and they need to have strong strength to maintain law and order. What can I do? ”

Inspired by Brute, Yang Yi first thought of raising money from the Pioneers to build a station for the Backwater Oasis, but he became depressed at the thought of the fact that the Pioneers were not managed by the Fishmen.

Yang Yi was about to reject Brut, when his gaze touched the two minotaurs on the edge of the lake in the distance.

"By the way, you can find a way to bring the minotaurs in and work together. When the time comes, just let the minotaurs suppress the troublemakers. ”

Yang Yi suddenly realized that there were fishmen in various life occupations in Ratchet Town, and the pioneers invested money, and then asked the Minotaur to send some powerful warriors to maintain law and order, which seemed to be a good combination.

"The most important thing for Ratchet Town is that the Staggy Oasis does not fall into the hands of hostile forces, although the orcs of the tribe are honorable and keep their promises, they are extremely expansive and aggressive. The Minotaur is kind and peaceful, and the son of the Minotaur chieftain, Bane. Bloodhoof also has a good relationship with the fish-people in Ratchet Town. ”

"Say it again. This backwater oasis was not stolen by the fishmen of Ratchet Town, as long as the fishmen and minotaurs of Ratchet Town worked together to build a station in the Deadwater Oasis, then the orcs who belonged to the same tribal camp would be embarrassed to rob it. The Kokar Centaurs are the sworn enemies of the Minotaurs, who can help fight the Centaurs. ”

The more Yang Yi analyzed, the more he felt that this idea was very good, and when the time came, the passage from Ratchet Town to the inland would be protected. Orcs can't come and go back to the Backwater Oasis, and there are minotaurs fighting against the Kokar Centaurs. And the pioneers, if they have an interest here, they will also come to protect it.

"Everyone has some manpower and material resources for the construction of the backwater oasis station, each has its own benefits, and everyone earns money together, which is really the best of all three worlds."

Yang Yi made a decision, and when he came back to his senses, he found that the head of the Holy Sword Knights, Brute, was still waiting for his answer.

"Hmm. How much money are you going to invest in the Knights of the Holy Sword? Yang Yi asked.

"I wonder what scale this village plans to build?" Brut didn't answer directly, but asked Yang Yi that he was definitely not the kind of person who was reckless as the head of the regiment.

"I'm probably going to build a large village." Yang Yi replied.

"Build a large village directly!?" Brut was surprised, this is a big deal. "We still need to think about how much to invest."

"Well, you're on our list of Ratchet Fishmen by now. And it was the first one to propose to invest, and the investment must have a place for your Holy Sword Knights. Yang Yi assured.

"Thank you so much." Brooke said gratefully. The reason why Brut said that he should consider it in the first place was actually skeptical, and he doubted whether Yang Yi, a fish-man, had the ability to directly build a large village on a backwater oasis.

After Yang Yi and Brooke finished speaking, they ran to find the two minotaurs on the edge of the lake, and if they wanted to attract investment for the new stronghold of the backwater oasis, they had to pull the minotaurs over first. So that the trailblazers will believe and be willing to invest money.

Yang Yi came to the two minotaurs, and he asked, "Jerrick, how is Bane doing?" It's been a long time since I've seen him, so take me to say hello to him when I see him. ”

Jerek knew that Yang Yi and Bane had a good relationship, so he replied, "Bane is at the crossroads, and I will bring your greetings to him when Jerek meets Bane." ”

"Thank you, Jerwick." Yang Yi thanked. "By the way, what do you say when the woods and lakes of this backwater oasis are restored to their former state, and then they are taken over by those Kokar centaurs?"

"The Kokar Centaurs can no longer be occupied, they only know how to destroy and destroy." Jerrick said angrily.

"Although the centaurs also believe in the Druidic teachings, these centaurs have never shown the slightest reverence for nature, and the centaurs only want to rule nature in order to fulfill their personal ambitions." Tuga also spoke.

The hatred between centaurs and minotaurs has long been deeply engraved in their own culture, and the minotaurs will not want to see the backwater oasis that they have worked so hard to regain their life be taken over by centaurs again.

"If we want the new Deadwater Oasis to no longer be occupied by the Centaurs, then we need to build a strong stronghold in the Backwater Oasis first, so that if the Centaurs come back, we can use this stronghold to fend off them." Yang Yi said.

After listening to Yang Yi's words, the two minotaurs nodded silently, this is indeed a solution.

"You fishmen want to build a new stronghold in the Stawater Oasis?" Jerek asked.

"No, it's not just us fishmen, anyone who doesn't want to see the centaurs retake the backwater oasis. When the time comes, you can work together to build a large base, or you can build separate ones. Yang Yi tentatively proposed. Even if they build their own strongholds, it doesn't matter, when the time comes, the Minotaur who is a neighbor will not be able to see death without help.

"But. It was not easy to build a stronghold that could withstand the centaur army, and the defenses built by the Horde coalition were not able to withstand the centaur attack. Tuga said.

"That's because the defenses are too rudimentary, and I plan to build a large stronghold, which will cost 5,000 gold coins for materials and other expenses alone." Yang Yi said.

"Five thousand gold coins. So much! ”

Both minotaurs were surprised, the minotaurs had been living a nomadic life before, and they didn't like to do business very much, so there were basically no rich minotaur lords, and they didn't think that it would cost so much gold to build a stronghold.

"Don't worry, the manpower and physics required for the construction are all up to me, you just need to send some minotaur warriors to help guard it, and you minotaurs will account for half of the new strongholds when the new stronghold is built in the future." Yang Yi said.

"Half of the new stronghold, the Minotaurs?"

The two minotaurs were even more surprised, and they could divide half of the stronghold by sending some minotaur warriors over, where was there such a good thing.

Yang Yi actually thought about it. The Minotaurs had never worked with the Fish-People before, and this was probably the first attempt, and the Minotaurs needed to be tempted enough to take the leap.

The Minotaur is essential to the new stronghold, whether it's attracting investment from the Pioneers, fending off the Centaurs, or preventing the Orcs from coming to the Backwater Oasis. If the share of the Minotaur is too small. When the time comes, the effect will not be good.

After hearing Yang Yi's tempting plan, the two minotaurs didn't say much, and soon after Mu Xiaolan and they returned, the male prairie lion's paw was also handed over to Jerek.

With a single claw, Jerek can't make a Totem of Purification, and he needs to make a trip to the Crossroads.

Jerek went to the crossroads, Tuga needed to collect seeds for various plants, and Mu Xiaolan and the others also went with Tuga to help.

"Hopefully, the Minotaurs will be happy with the plan for this new base, otherwise they will have to build a small and medium-sized village-level base in the backwater oasis. I don't know if I can keep it when the time comes. Yang Yi looked forward to it.

After some inspection and thinking, Yang Yi had already decided to build a stronghold in the backwater oasis, and now the problem is only the size of the construction. So Yang Yi sent a team of fishmen back to report, and asked the old blind to arrange for the fish-man construction workers in the town to come to the backwater oasis, and asked the fish-men to come with building materials and food.

After the fish-man builders and building materials arrived, the first thing to be built was the fence and the arrow tower, and the construction drawings of the wall and the arrow tower were all non-consumable drawings bought by Yang Yi before. These buildings that only have architectural functions and no architectural effects have no hierarchical requirements for the construction site, which means that they can be built in a suitable place.

Unlike Yang Yi's construction drawings with architectural effects drawn by the lottery system. Those buildings must be built within the boundaries of the corresponding level of the village, for example, the seashell farm cannot be built beyond the scope of the ratchet village.

The fish-man builders of Ratchet Town began to plunge into intense construction, and Yang Yi waited for an answer from the Minotaur.

Time passed day by day, until the fifth day after the departure of Jerick the Minotaur came to the Backwater Oasis with a rumbling sound of fifty Minotaur Kodo Cavalry.

Yang Yi walked out of the construction site after hearing the dull rumbling sound. He discovers that Bane the Minotaur and Jerek are on the team.

"Bane, I'm glad you're here." Yang Yi said happily.

"Friend, your offer is impossible to refuse, so I'm here with the people of the tribe." Bane said with a smile.

As soon as Yang Yi heard Benn say this, his hanging heart relaxed, he knew that the minotaur was planning to cooperate with the fishmen in Ratchet Town.

"By the way, have you come up with a new name?" Bane asked suddenly.

"A new name?" Yang Yi hesitated for a moment, and then he quickly spoke: "I have thought of a new name, it's called 'Poses', 'Poses. ratchet'. ”

Yang Yi has actually thought about his new name for a long time, and it looks like many names, but this Poses. The name of the ratchet was the one he had just come up with in a moment of hesitation. The name doesn't mean anything special, it's just easy to say.

"Poses, Bane remember, it's convenient to call you in the future." Bane said.

"Poses, the fish-man, that's a good name." Jerrick followed suit.

Yang Yi began to talk about the topic after telling the two minotaurs about his newly proposed name, and he asked, "You minotaurs have decided to build a backwater oasis with the fishmen of our Ratchet Town?" ”

"It's decided, the backwater oasis is a good place, not to mention the plan you gave us very well." Bane said.

"Well, it's a pleasure to work with." Yang Yi said with a smile.

"It's a pleasure to work with." Bane also said with a smile, and then he took out a leather bag from his waist and handed it to Yang Yi, "Poses, here are some architectural drawings, including buildings such as city walls and defense towers, which can be used to build a backwater oasis this time." ”

The Minotaurs are not the kind of race that likes to take advantage of others, and Bane brought a dozen or so drawings of large village and town-level buildings.

"That's great, just missing the drawings for these buildings." Yang Yi knew Bain's temper, and he was not polite, so he reached out and took the leather bag.

Yang Yi chatted with the two minotaurs for a few more words, and learned that this group of minotaur Kodo beast cavalry was only the vanguard, and there was a large group of minotaur warriors coming towards the backwater oasis.

From Bain. Bloodhoof learned that the Minotaurs were willing to cooperate in the construction of the Ratchet Village, and Yang Yi immediately prepared to start the investment plan, as for the layout of the city walls, defense towers, and fortifications, they were handed over to Bane, who was more experienced than Yang Yi in this convenience.

"If you want to attract investment, you must first advertise it, and then there will be more people to have a choice. So far, I have never heard of an Aboriginal who would accept the investment of a pioneer to build a village together, let alone Bain. Bloodhoof and his minotaur are there, and there should be many people who want to add in. ”

"Building a large village-level stronghold is not a small amount. How does the new stronghold benefit the pioneers? How much money can be invested, and how much benefit can be shared? Forget it, don't think about these problems now, anyway, first put out the advertisement to attract people, and then they will naturally take the initiative to make various requests. Yang Yi thought for a while, feeling a little big, but he quickly came to his senses.
