Chapter 102: News from the Copper Mine

The village of Ratchet is busy collecting the large fangs of the steel-maned boarmen, and the fishmen of the Blacktip Clan are busy dealing with the armies of the invading northern castle.

The soldiers of the Northern Castle are well-trained and well-equipped, but they don't have much to do when it comes to dealing with the Blacktip Fishmen. Blacktip people live on the shores and islands of the Dust Swamp, and as soon as the soldiers of the Northern Castle arrive, they all hide in the sea. The water is the world of the fishmen, and the human soldiers do not dare to fight the fishmen in the water, even if they are good swimmers, so they can only take advantage of the fish-man huts on the coast. Moreover, the coastline of the Dust Swamp is not all sandy beaches that are convenient for human marching, many places are full of devouring swamps, and the fishmen can freely shuttle through the swamps, while human soldiers cannot march in the swamps on a large scale. What's more, the settlements of the most powerful clans of the Blacktip Clan are all on islands in the sea, and the fleet of the Northern Castle will not be able to land on these fish-man islands if they are not willing to pay a big price.

For a few days, the soldiers of the Northern Castle have killed some Blacktip Fishmen on the Dread Coast, but it has not had the effect they expected, so they continue to increase their troops on the Dread Coast, which makes the Canyon Fishman Village breathe a sigh of relief. There is only one squadron of soldiers left in the Northern Castle that is still stationed near the Canyon Fish-Man Village, and the main responsibility for dealing with the Canyon Fish-Man Village has been transferred to the pioneers of the Rumeng Guild.

Since the last time Mengfan retrieved Ishawak's heart, the people of the Rumeng Guild have been connected with the Northern Castle. Later, the people of the Dream Guild were attacked by the Blacktip Fishmen, causing a lot of losses, but they were blessed with a blessing in disguise, and after that, their relationship with the Northern Castle became even closer.

The Canyon Fish-Man Village finally got a chance to breathe, and they immediately excluded the messenger from asking for help.

At noon on this day, the messenger of the Canyon Fishman Village went ashore again from the beach near the dock of Jingya City, and this time the messenger of the Fishman of Ratchet Village did not even dare to go by land, which showed that the situation had reached a rather dangerous point.

Soon after the messenger from the Canyon Fishman Village arrived, the Fishman went to report to Yang Yi, and Yang Yi asked the Fishman from the village to bring the messenger to the village. This messenger is a fish-man with negotiation expertise, and is considered to be one of the smarter fish-people in the Canyon Fish-Man Village.

Yang Yi took the letter and read it, and found that the letter was written by the fishman prophet of the Canyon Fishman Village. The content of the letter is very simple, asking Ratchet Village to send fishmen to attack the soldiers and pioneers stationed in the northern castle near the Gorge Fishman Village, as for how the fishmen in Ratchet Village will attack, and how the two fishmen will cooperate, there is no mention of it. Look at the meaning between the lines, this is still a letter of command from the Canyon Village Fish-Man Prophet to the Ratchet Tooth Fish-Man, not a letter asking for help.

"How many fishmen did your canyon fishman village send out to deliver the message this time?" Yang Yi asked the messenger after reading the letter.

"A lot." The messenger replied

"And how many fishmen are there who are responsible for delivering messages to our Ratchet Fish-Man Village?" Yang Yi asked again.

"It's a lot." The messenger replied.

Sure enough, Yang Yi's guess was right, the fish-man prophet of Canyon Village sent more than one fish-man messenger in order for his letter to be successfully delivered to Ratchet Village.

"Isn't that a trick." Yang Yi was speechless. Only one Fish-Man Courier has arrived in Ratchet Village, and the other Couriers have most likely been intercepted by the soldiers of the Northern Castle or the People of Rumeng, so it is almost certain that they knew the contents of the letter before Ratchet Village.

"What's going on in your canyon fish-man village lately? How many battle fishmen are there in the village? The transports that attacked the Northern Citadel last time should have gotten a lot of good weapons and a lot of food, right? Yang Yi tried to get something useful out of the messenger.

This fish-man messenger did not answer after hearing Yang Yi's question, and when he came out, he had been told by the fish-man prophet in person that he could not reveal the information of the village.

"A few of you, hurry up and arrange some delicious food to bring over, the messenger of the Canyon Fishman Village has worked so hard all the way, how can he be hungry." Yang Yi asked the fishmen in the village to arrange food.

Soon after, a few fishmen took a sea fish, a piece of mussel meat and some seaweed from the village warehouse, both meat and vegetarian, which was a good meal for the fishmen.

"Come, come, eat something first." Yang Yi warmly greeted the fishman messenger.

The envoy of the Canyon Fishman Village trembled with excitement when he saw the food, and he risked his life to break through the encirclement, and he didn't dare to stop for a moment along the way, so he ate every little thing, and suddenly saw this big meal and was simply moved to cry.

"Recently, you have been besieged by the soldiers of those abominable northern castles and alien humans, and your canyon fish-man village has injured a lot of fighting fishmen, right?" Yang Yi intends to lure step by step.

"Uh-huh." The fish-man courier nodded in reply as he stuffed food into his mouth.

"I heard that the weapons and equipment of the humans in the northern castle are all made of fine iron, so it should be very useful, right?"

"Hmm."

"The fish-men of your village have such good weapons, why don't you drive those northern castle soldiers and outsiders away? Is it because there are not many fighting fish in the village? ”

The Fish-Man Courier nodded, then immediately shook his head again.

After seeing the reaction of the fish-man messenger, Yang Yi smiled lightly, "Even your little IQ wants to hide it from the master." ”

Yang Yi could guess the information he got from the fishman messenger even if he used guessing, and even if he got this information, he couldn't think of a place to use it.

"By the way, how has the copper mine in your Fishman Village been digging lately?" Yang Yi asked suddenly.

"Copper Mine!?" The fish-man messenger was taken aback when he heard this, and he quickly shook his head in denial. "No copper mines, no copper mines."

"Oh, it looks like this fish-man messenger knows something, so I can't let him go back now. The two armies are fighting each other, so I will leave him to entertain him with delicious food and drink. Yang Yi looked at the fish-man messenger and smiled wickedly. If the fish-man messenger refuses to be honest, then he will have to call the bear boy Benboba to entertain him. In the hands of the Pember, even the prophetic leader of the Blacktip Fishmen and the steel-maned thornweaver of the Boar People have to honestly spit out what they know, let alone a small fish-man messenger.

Copper is an important strategic resource, and Yang Yi has coveted the copper mine in Canyon Fishman Village for a long time. When he went to Canyon Fishman Village for the first time, Yang Yi suspected that the other party had found a copper ore vein, but the secrecy of Canyon Fishman Village was very good, and Yang Yi had not discovered the location of the copper mine for a long time. This time, since the fish-man prophet of the Canyon Fish-Man Village took the initiative to send clues, then Yang Yi was not polite.

The Fishman Messenger quickly stuffed all the food into his stomach, and after eating, he wanted to leave, but was enthusiastically left by the Fishman of Ratchet Village, and heard that he could eat and drink for free, and the Fishman Messenger happily followed the Fishman of Ratchet Village. Although this fish-man messenger is a little smarter than the average fish-man, he is still a worrying IQ, and his future miserable days can be imagined.

Yang Yi left the messenger of the Canyon Fishman Village, and the letter from the Canyon Fishman Village Prophet ordering reinforcements was lost by him, and the Fishman Prophet had not yet started to shout for help, and it seemed that he could hold on.
