"Tonight, I'm going to do a clean-up operation," Rivigaz said. ”

"Oh? Really? As soon as Dante heard the opportunity to be useful, he immediately became interested and hurriedly asked, "Mr. Rivigaz, what is the action?" ”

Rivigaz took a puff of his cigar, flicked the ashes, and said, "I've found out the troll stronghold of a small force. The number of enemies is not much, probably more than a hundred. However, they seem to be the Haka clan scouts of Zur Grab, so I'm determined to destroy them! ”

"The Haka Clan?" Dante heard the word and continued to ask, "Mr. Rivigaz, how much do you know about the Trolls' Haka clan?" Can you tell us about it? ”

Rivigaz thought for a moment and said, "To be honest, I really don't know the specific situation of the Haka clan, I only know that they are a group of very cruel monsters. They are cannibals, and even their own people can eat them. As long as it's a race of non-trolls, whether it's humans or goblins or whatever, being caught by them is a dead end. ”

At this point, Rivigaz stood up, walked to the window of his office, looked out the window at the busy commercial street of Gem Harbor, sighed, and said, "You may not be able to imagine how much I have paid to keep Gem Harbor?" ”

“……”

Dante could certainly understand the plight of the big tyrant, but he was not in a hurry to make a statement, but listened to Rivigaz continue.

Rivigaz turned around, looked at Dante and the others, and said, "I don't know how many mercenaries died at the hands of the Haka clan alone, and I can't even recover a corpse. I can't remember exactly how many casualty benefits have been paid so far. However, now that more and more trolls have appeared around Gem Harbor, it feels like they can't be killed. You say, how stressed am I right now? ”

Dante heard the big tyrant's complaint and glanced at Hawking. Hawking also noticed that the boss was glaring at him, and moved slightly embarrassed to adjust his sitting position.

Rivigaz smiled bitterly, walked back to his desk, sat down, pulled open the drawer, took out a report, threw it to Grandet, and said, "Grandet, take a look at this report." That's the number of dead and wounded in the battle to clear the Bloodsail Pirates and the Haka Clan in Gem Harbor for nearly three months. Note the distinction between the dead and the wounded. ”

At this time, the old man of the encyclopedia suddenly responded to Dante with his heart and said: "Master, please note that when Rivigaz talks about mercenaries, he is actually referring to the players. Due to the relatively powerful wild monsters in Thorn Valley, and there are more alliances and tribes PK, it is inevitable that there will be many casualties. As an NPC, Rivigaz also gives players more tasks, so he pays more for players. ”

"Oh, I see, okay." Dante heard the old man's words and now understood.

“……”

Grandet took the report, shook his head, and said to Dante, "There are many casualties, Dante. More than 100 died, and more than 500 were seriously injured and disabled. This figure has happened in just three months, and the pension and condolence money alone are almost vomiting blood. The offers of these mercenaries are very high, which is a real headache. ”

"yes!" Rivigaz agreed with Grandet's words and lamented, "It's not that I'm reluctant to spend money, but I don't think it's worth it." It's a bottomless pit! ”

"Then ......," said Dante thoughtfully, "leave it to us now!" Let the professionals do it. ”

"Hehe......" Rivigaz seemed to be skeptical when he heard Dante's words, and said, "Mr. Dante, don't talk too much. Although I have heard Grandet praise you, I have not seen your strength with my own eyes. I hope you understand what I mean. ”

"Of course!" Dante patted his chest and said, "Relax, Mr. Rivigaz, it's not the first time I've taken on this kind of business." I won't say much about that empty talk. Let's just say what you need to do tonight? We did it first, and if we did it, we deserved it. How is it? ”

"Hmm!" Rivigaz seemed satisfied, and said, "I also hope that you can solve the law and order problem around Gem Harbor once and for all." So, please wait. With that, he stood up and walked outside the office, as if to get something.

After a short while, Rivigaz walked in with a large map, spread it on his desk, and said, "I just ordered a new large map of the Valley of Thorns, especially the various forces in the Valley of Thorns that can threaten the Gem Harbor, let's take a look." So, Dante and the others gathered around to see it.

Pointing to a red-marked area off the coast of Gem Harbor, Rivigaz said, "This place is still occupied by the Bloodsail Pirates. Captain Cape has already gone there with a new group of mercenaries to suppress the bandits. However, the Bloodsail Pirates seem to have some powerful backstage, and we have spent a lot of energy trying to eliminate them. ”

“……”

When Dante heard the name "Captain Cape" mentioned by the great tyrant, he thought to himself, maybe this is the solemn-faced Minotaur Captain just now, right? Seeing the worried look he looked when he walked out of the office, it turned out that this was the reason.

"Captain Cape is my right-hand man, and he leads his mercenaries to keep the Bloodsail Pirates in this area, making it impossible for them to break out. That's pretty good already. Now, I need to be able to take this area down. As he spoke, he pointed to an area northeast of Gem Harbor. Dante took a closer look and saw that the area was a primeval forest.

"This area is a stinky and hard piece of hard bones, a primeval forest, and the ground is relatively humid and low-lying, and there is swampy terrain, which is very troublesome. ”

When Dante heard this, he was puzzled and asked, "Is there anything important in this area?" Why is it so important? ”

Rivigaz pointed to the side and said, "Mr. Dante, please look here." This road here is the only road leading to the Northern Confederate territory in Gem Harbor. For us, this is the lifeline of land. No other place can build such a wide road. ”

Dante looked at the position pointed by the big tyrant, and sure enough, he saw the road. As Rivigaz said, the only road outside of Gem Harbor leads to the mountains to the north, and to the north of the mountains is the territory of the Kingdom of Light.

The road winds and turns carefully through the primeval forest and towards the north. Looking at this large map, it makes people feel that this journey is really full of dangers.

Dante looked at the large map and saw that in the northeast far from the port of jewels, in the depths of a large primeval forest, a large area was marked in bright red, and asked, "What is this big red area?" ”

"Zulgrab." "That's the territory of the Haka trolls. To date, no one has actually explored there. Of course, I'm talking about what I know, and I haven't heard of any brave man going there. It was an unidentified area, and no one could tell what was in there. ”

Dante continued, "So, shall we go and clear this swampy area of trolls tonight?" ”

"Yes!" Rivigaz nodded and said, "There must be trolls lurking in this area. I've received several reports of incidents here in the past two days. The situation is urgent now, as I have a shipment that needs to be delivered to the Kingdom of Light. The Alliance has promised to line up a line of knights to escort the goods for me, but because the tribe also has a stronghold along the avenue, they may fight with the Alliance, and I am really angry at both ends in the middle, so I want to clean up this area first, so I can save some trouble. ”

"Dante......" Grandet said to Dante with a wry smile, "the Horde and the Alliance have a stronghold in the Valley of Thorns, but their interests are more focused on fighting each other, and they don't care about the trolls at all. Those of us businessmen who don't have a hard time making a living have to find ways to protect ourselves. ”

"This ......," said Dante, "you don't have to worry, just leave it to us now." ”
