According to Archon Ares, apart from a small number of town soldiers, most of the 2,000-strong contingent were civilians who had no combat experience and were temporarily recruited. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"It's a pity that the morale of such a motley army will not be too high. Throwing these uneven personnel into battle is also the most likely to make mistakes. ”

Hearing Sauron say this, Archon Ares hesitated, "But...... At the level of defensive warfare, compared to encounters and sieges, etc. Waiting for work at ease and taking advantage of geographical advantages and resource replenishment can make up for the shortcomings of lack of morale. So right now, the most important thing is resources. We had food, we lacked weapons, and we didn't have time to build fortifications. ”

At the beginning of the war, the bow and arrow were the most direct and wide-ranging weapons of destruction, and at the same time, in defensive warfare, the most advantageous existence.

At this point, as Sauron pondered his countermeasures, his eyes looked at the wooden shelf next to the table, where a conspicuous bow was placed, and an arrow was placed on the string. This bow was a gift from the dwarf Thorin to show the dwarves' support.

Play with this bow and you'll find that everything from wood to carved is the perfect bow you want. As something that has been passed down from the dwarven elder family for generations, the value of this bow is naturally very high.

Perhaps many people have this question, how long does it take to make a bow and arrow?

Some people will say a week, ten days at most.

But through the rendering of his ears and eyes, Sauron knew very well that a bow like this would cost at least a year, and even three years for a better one. The production process is complex and the materials used are numerous, which is not only a craft, but also an art and an attitude to work.

A message from the guard officer Leon came from the door of the hall, and Sauron put the delicately carved bow back on the wooden frame. "Lord Lord, the guild merchant Morkin, in the name of a personal friend, requests to see you."

"In the name of a personal friend?" A slight smile crossed Zoro's lips. "Let him in."

……

"My lord, please forgive me for taking the liberty of interrupting."

Ares left the Hall of Lords, and like last time, the construction guild merchant Morkin, always showed his humility and courtesy.

The bow is the etiquette of a subordinate to a superior. Morkin takes off his hat during the salute and takes it off with his right hand in the center of the brim. With the right hand lowered, the body is aligned, in an upright position, with both eyes fixed on the 'superior', and the upper part of the body is tilted forward about 15 degrees, and then it returns to its original state.

"Honorable Lord of the Dragon Court Woodland, as the guild leader of the entire island area of the Green Shadeland, I can lend my own escort to my friend to meet his needs. I can even resell one of my totem poles that belonged to the town of Agate River to my friends. ”

Moorkin, a merchant in the Architectural Guild, is not a Dande. And his physical characteristics are not similar to those of the Dande, but the red hair and black complexion unique to the people of the Renault Kingdom, and at the same time, he also has a pair of brown eyes.

A Reynolds can climb to the position of branch manager in King Dande, and be in charge of such a sensitive area as Green Shade Island. It can be seen that Moore King is a businessman with a shrewd mind and knows how to do things.

Zoro smiled, "Daring to break the rules of a building guild is extremely rare for a guild manager. ”

Moore King responded to Sauron with these words, "It's okay to break the rules, as long as it's proportional to the gain." ”

A person, if he always shows understatement of respect, is a sign of hypocrisy and makes people produce disgust.

And exaggerating the respect of the facts is like a slap on the back, which is disgusting. Only by being impartial and equal is the most appropriate respect.

At this point, Moore King has mastered his balance extremely well.

"Morkin, I am more than happy to be your friend, and I am very much in need of help from 'this' among friends. Normally, totem poles are resources that need the king's approval before lords of large towns can buy from guilds. But there are exceptions to everything, and as the rightful lord of the Dragon Court Woodlands, in times of war, my bloodline gives me the power to requisition the personnel and supplies of any guild caravan within the territory. I believe that you should also know very well about this. ”

Zoro had already learned in advance that since Agate River Town had been captured by trolls, Morkin temporarily transferred the totem poles that should have been delivered to Onyx River Town to the Dragon Court Woodlands.

Therefore, Sauron believes that Moore King, such a smart businessman, will not trade things that cannot be changed.

"Exactly as you say. But I think you need more things, like food, weapons. and more buildings that a town needs. ”

For Moorkin, there were many merchants in a certain area, such as the building guilds, the foundry guilds, the textile guilds, the liquor guilds, and so on. Not having a solid relationship with other guilds can be a real headache.

Speaking of the key point, Zoro became interested, "Tell me my friend, what price should I pay?" ”

What Sauron didn't expect was that Morkin's attitude took a big turn, "Although I am a merchant, since we have become friends, you don't even need to pay a single gold coin, and the Green Shade Building Guild will do its best." The quest for the Castle of the Shaded Lands, my guild has a few alien stalkers to help you accomplish. ”

Although unexpected, Sauron did not show the slightest surprise.

First of all, Moore King was a merchant, and any merchant always sought a suitable price for the 'goods' he sold.

Because, a businessman, if he gives you a benefit, but asks for nothing else, it is a very strange thing that is worth scrutinizing.

At this point, Sauron looked at Moorkin's eyes and became meaningful.

He guessed that Moore King probably knew what happened to the Trolls Tribe, as we all know, a drop of totem liquid is worth a thousand gold coins, and with all the totem liquid of the Trolls Tribe, it can be said that the Lord of the Dragon Court Woodland has become the richest lord except for Black Mountain City.

In this world, wealth means power, and if Sauron wants to, he can hire all the mercenaries of the Greenshade to fight for him.

"Morkin, you are a clever guild merchant, in order to repay you for your help to the Dragon Court Woodland and to me personally. In the future, whether it is south or north of the Dragon Garden, I will grant you a village as a private domain. And all you have to do is to pledge allegiance to the Lord of the Dragon Court Woodland. ”

With the support of huge wealth, the potential of the Dragon Court Woodland is unlimited, and the price offered by Zoro is exactly what the other party wants.

Moore King was a businessman who knew how to invest in the long term, which made him even unable to suppress his excitement, and even the faint numbness on his square face glowed red.
