Every human slave is worth one gold coin.

Reg bargained, "A man is worth two gold coins, and a woman can get one gold coin." ”

Yang Jiangong nodded in agreement.

It's not at all as easy as he makes such a promise.

Not to mention that it has always been difficult for the finances of the Lorkadin Kingdom to come in, but it is not easy to take these humans through the Camelot Kingdom for a month.

And it's impossible not to understand this, he seems to be a swollen face and a fat man, but in fact the drunkard doesn't mean to drink.

A large number of human slaves are owned by other orcs, while the Minotaurs have a limited number.

Among the entire orcs, the minotaurs are the kind of orcs who are unruly and contemptuous of other races. It all has to do with the history of the Orcs, who existed in the form of tribes about 200 years ago, and only the Minotaur were the leaders in the name. Now the lion and tiger people have come from behind, and even rule the entire orc, which has always been very embarrassing for the minotaurs.

The current situation is not very optimistic, and the only way to fish is to muddy the waters!

Therefore, Yang Jiangong expanded the population by buying human beings, and at the same time provoked conflicts between other minotaurs and other ethnic groups, so as to achieve the goal of gaining time and developing and strengthening himself.

As the saying goes, there must be gains, and there must be gains.

As long as the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, no matter how much the cost is, Yang Jiangong generally will not give too much consideration.

The Minotaur gave up the conquest of the Fairy Forest and agreed to Yang Jiangong's terms. Naturally, there are also self-considerations. Maybe the patron saint of humanity in front of him doesn't know yet. But Reg knew very well in his heart that the orcs had already consumed everything they could consume during the Great Migration, although they now occupied two-thirds of the human world. But it's winter. They are desperately short of food and supplies.

Although the Lion Emperor of the Orcs has gathered another 300,000 Orc troops, it intends to launch the deadliest war against the Kingdom of Camelot after the end of winter.

The entire beast clan is composed of dozens of tribal groups, large and small. When supplies are scarce, each ethnic group only thinks about itself. The Minotaurs also need to earn a little money for their tribe to survive.

That's exactly what Reg did to conquer the Fairy Forest. So it didn't think that by doing so, it would make the Minotaur Totem tribe behind it feel dissatisfied. You know, no matter what race you are in this world, you first have to have gold. And then there will be everything.

Next, when the two hours were about to expire, Yang Jiangong chose to return to Lol Cardin.

Before leaving. He deliberately summoned a brigade of Radiant Swordsmen to stay in the Fairy Forest. While assisting the elves in defending the forest, he handed over the 'slave trade' with the Minotaurs to Cicero.

Three days later.

Just when Cicero handed over five thousand human slaves to the totem tribe, a scene happened in front of his eyes. Shocked Cicero.

Except for five thousand strong male humans. Seeing the Minotaurs pushing 2,000 or more human females into the pen to be executed, Cicero stopped their cruelty in the first place.

"Why are these women being executed?"

Cicero stared at Regg's men, the Minotaur Gerdard, with an angry look in his eyes.

The Minotaur Gerdard was the second largest minotaur in status after Reg, covered in flame-like red heavy armor, revealing only a pair of cold eyes, with that icy killing aura. Just know that it is not a soft-hearted guy.

But that day, he witnessed the scene of the Radiant God defeating Reg and facing Cicero. Geldard was still very amusementous and restrained its pride.

"It's just too lazy to count and bring more slaves. We have delivered five thousand young human slaves. These human women are of no use other than to reproduce and waste food. So it's useless for these human women to keep. And it's not the first time we've done this. ”

If it is not of my race, its heart will be different!

There is nothing wrong with that.

In the eyes of the Minotaur chieftain, killing these human women was as casual as killing some useless brutes.

Different races have different views on life. Even Cicero had given a ruthless military order to skin and chop flesh on lizardmen.

But sometimes, knowing this, Cicero was a little unacceptable when he saw his own kind being executed like animals.

Cicero's anger rose at the sight of the human bones strewn all over the corral, but he couldn't vent the anger that had been suppressed in his chest to the other party.

At least, not now!

"Geldad, why don't you sell these women to me too?"

Cicero walked over to the corral, untied a young girl, and said in a negotiable tone toward Gerdard, "These women, next time I'll bring double the gold!" ”

The Minotaur Geldad, watching Cicero untie the ropes of the human women, did not force it, but he did not agree. "It's useless for the Minotaur to ask these women, maybe you're right. These human women can breed populations for you, and then you will have a large number of slaves. But I have to say, winter is coming, and food is getting scarcer, are you sure you want to take these useless women with you? ”

Maybe it's because Cicero is a subordinate of the Radiant Deity, or something else. This made it difficult for Gerdard and the other minotaurs to treat him as an ordinary human.

In the eyes of the Minotaur Gerdard, "Cicero in front of him may be a human being worth looking at." But the rest of humanity is no different from lowly livestock. ”

The Minotaurs have always been known for their bravery and pride, and it is nothing new for them to look down on other weak orcs.

"Hehe, you don't have to worry about this. My territory has enough food reserves, even if you give me face, you should sell me all the remaining slave women! ”

"After all, killing them like brutes has no value at all."

For Cicero. From a human point of view, most of these women waiting to be executed are very young and beautiful women.

Just because winter is coming. In order to save food, they were to be put to death like animals, and the carcasses were fed to the wild animals in the corrals.

Cicero looked at these young and beautiful women, and could hardly find an old face in them.

When his eyes swept over the corral, he instantly understood that those old, weak, sick and disabled people were afraid that they would become the layer of white bones in the animal pen from the beginning.

In the eyes of the Minotaurs. Human women are not as capable of working as male slaves, and the more slender women are, the more thin and weak they are, and they are all redundant slaves who waste food. It must be disposed of in time!

In contrast, the totem tribe preferred to use this part of the food to keep stronger male slaves in captivity.

But for Lol Cardin, women are also a demographic resource, sometimes more important than men. They are the fundamental guarantee for the harmonious development of the territory!

Cicero had officially signed a slave contract with the Minotaur Gerdard. Paid 10,000 gold coins borrowed from Fairy Forest. As for the additional two thousand young women. The Minotaur Geldard said that there was no need to write a deed of arrears. When the time comes, it only needs to hand over 4,000 gold coins to it.

Cicero, who has been in the aristocratic circle for most of his life, naturally knows what this means, and in order to do things well in the future, he will not expose it.

Five thousand young human slaves, plus two thousand young and healthy human women, this is all the income of Cicero's trade.

"Seven thousand humans, must arrive in Lol Cardin within a month. After lunch, we're off for a while! ”

A team of nearly 8,000 people walked on the endless open plain. It's so eye-catching and eye-catching!

Cicero did not refuse the Minotaur's kindness, and he accepted the other party's dispatch of a hundred Minotaur totem warriors to escort him. Safely get them out of orc-infested areas.

With these minotaur warriors and their totem poles in their hands, it would take little to fight to scare off the other orc raider forces on the plains.

These so-called raider troops, Cicero had learned a few days earlier.

Among them are short and filthy kobolds, these orcs with a dog's head, with scaly skin, only half the height of normal humans, and their skin is dark rust and pale black, in addition, kobolds' combat effectiveness can only be described as slag.

The second is the four-legged deer-headed man, the deer-headed man has good combat effectiveness, but the flaw is that he does not have any weapons and equipment, and the number is not as many as the kobold.

In order to resist the pace of invasion of the orcs.

Ever since the Kingdom of Carmellot abandoned the protection of towns and towns and small towns, and focused on defending cities and large towns, raiders began to wreak havoc everywhere.

A few of the Radiant Swordsmen were curious, and in their spare time, they used their crosses to dissect the corpses of two kobolds and deerheads, which literally coexisted with human and animal features, as if an animal cataclysm had occurred.

Compared to kobolds and deermen, the most difficult raiders are the non-negorams, who have a keen sense of hearing, piercing eyes, and are the best stalkers and stalkers, the best snitches and spies.

Cicero spotted the nezumi several times, but failed to catch a single live or dead nezumi. These things don't seem to be doing anything they are sure about, and after only one day of tracking, they quickly give up tracking.

……

As long as it is a slightly stronger orc tribe, there will be no shortage of food to survive the winter.

Just like the Minotaur Totem Tribe, before winter comes, it is enough to execute the surplus slaves, and there is no need to loot everywhere at all.

But compared to the fast-reproducing and weaker orc tribes, their need for food is simply too great.

How many raiders the Kingdom of Carmellot is suffering from the war, it is impossible to count.

The origin of the raiders, in the winter of each year, some beast tribes that are short of food will send a certain number of surplus people to collect food and resources for the winter.

And these surplus orc populations will form gangs of raiders, like locusts, to loot and destroy everywhere.

They usually come from some small tribe of orcs. For example, the kobold tribe, the deer tribe, and the rat people are the three most common characters among the raiders.

In times of scarcity, survival is paramount in the orc tradition, and raiders raid humans or orcs from other tribes.

Although the kingdom of Carmellot is the domain of humans, from the moment the orc army took over Cross Mountain, the kingdom became a paradise for raiders.

The raiders are a group of outlaws who eat almost anything under pressure to survive.

And this desperate way of plundering also made the main race of the beast race very annoyed.

For these raiders, even the Great Emperor of the Beast Clan, there is only one word to deal with them, and that is to kill!

Orcs run rampant with a large number of raiders every year, and correspondingly, there are Guardians of the Plains who specialize in hunting raiders. The fastest and most agile leopard people, the famous Black Rock tribe, have long played the role of raiders and raiders.

During the month-long march, Cicero first met these legendary leopard men.

When they discovered the huge human team and those mighty minotaur totem warriors on the plains, the leopard people did not run away like raiders, but quickly approached, and even formed an attack formation on the plains.

It wasn't until the escorted minotaur personally walked out of the team that the other side gave up the attack formation and dispelled the hostility.

"Dear Totem Tribe Warrior, I am Atkin, the glaring leader of the Black Rock Tribe...... I'll chase you away the troublesome raiders! ”

The height of leopard people is generally about two meters, and they are covered with large and small yellow spots, although their body shape is not as burly as that of minotaurs, but their agility and running speed are probably no one can compare with them.

In just a few moments, more than 2,000 leopard troops disappeared from Cicero's sight.

But the Minotaur who accompanied him told Cicero with a strong sense of warning, "Never trust those leopard people, they are the most vile and shameless raiders of the orcs." ”

The raiders are mostly made up of some overloaded tribal population, looting and destroying everywhere.

The leopard people then hunt raiders for profit, or make a temporary cameo as a raider, and no one can say who is the real raider.

In short, the law of the jungle is the iron-clad law of this world, the big fish eat the small fish, the small fish eat the shrimp, the tribes of the beast race seem to be united on the surface, but in fact there is violence and blood everywhere.

And in order to survive in this cruel environment, Cicero still has a very difficult road to go.

...... "Rege? ”

Cicero had seen it before the other party approached. But Cicero didn't expect to meet the first warrior of the Minotaur here.

In fact, if judged by the eyes of an orc, Reg is a very 'young and handsome' minotaur.

It is covered with very thick, healthy hair, and the length, color, and pattern of the hair are particularly eye-catching. (To be continued......)
