Chapter 541: Adoption of Slaves
The corpses of slaves and orcs turned charred and collapsed in the fire of the camp.
The Rock Leader Cavalry Regiment did not dig a cemetery for every slave, but hastily cleaned the battlefield and stacked the corpses, separating the corpses of humans, dwarves, and orcs, dousing them with grease, and then the corpses were reduced to ashes in the fire.
About 500 slaves were mercilessly slaughtered by the orcs, and the 'Rock Collar' only took the remaining 1,500 slaves, and the orc warden wizard and Ignaz the 'Claw of Tiamat' fled, and the Charles had no intention of leading the army in pursuit.
On the same day, the Hexagram Fortress was replenished with this group of slaves and began to build fortifications on a large scale.
The player's Priest Legion is dispatched to treat the injuries of the slaves, and calm their emotions with the [Calm the Mind] magic spell, and when the 'Rock Leader' Council issues a **** order against the slaves, let these slaves serve as auxiliary militias to help the fortress resist the counterattack of the orc army, they can recover their free body and get a land reward.
The edict spread through the fortress camp, and the humans and dwarves alike cheered. Some of the slaves were still kneeling on the ground, kissing the land, and weeping in tears to give thanks to the gods they worshipped.
"Then issue a second decree to gather NPCs with special talents, such as blacksmiths, such as engineers, and we urgently need to replenish a group of aboriginal deputies."
On the gray stone walls of the fortress, Charles looked out at the cheering camp and said to the head of the city, Yufpe.
Yuffie nodded and said, "These slaves know at least some superficial construction skills, otherwise the orcs will not mobilize them." Move to this unfinished fortress. β
"If there is a blacksmith inside, we can use the raw ore from the mine to build a furnace directly inside the fortress. Mass production of arrows and some low-grade iron tools. Charles also said with a hint of anticipation.
There are many projects to be built in the six-pointed star fortress, and Charles decided to let this newly replenished labor force first build a stone pass more than ten meters high in the valley road outside the fortress, so that if the orc army wants to attack the fortress, it needs to break through the pass first, so that the 'rock territory' has a depth of defense.
The more than 50 Hill Giants. Charles sent them to carry the stones.
Low IQ also has the benefit of low IQ, and these hill giants have no complaints about his orders, and are simple-minded and hardworking like scalpers. It's not going to be cheating or anything.
But to make military supplies in batches in this fortress, iron ore alone is obviously not enough, and after arranging the work, Charles temporarily said goodbye to Yuffie and the others. Ride the wolf back to the heart of the swamp of the open sea.
About three days ago. The businesswoman Via delivered the first batch of materials to the hinterland of the 'Rock Collar', and for the past three days Charles had been busy dealing with the orcs, and when she returned to the hinterland, she finally had time to meet with the businesswoman Via again.
Inside the tent, which was Yuffie's main tent, was covered with a soft brown carpet and a copper incense burner on the desk, which contained an alchemical spice that ignited when exposed to air. The refreshing aroma wafts through the tent.
A small charcoal stove in the corner of the tent was blazing. The metal kettle above was boiling water, Charles picked up the kettle and poured a cup of hot water for the businesswoman, and in the wooden cup were some barley grains fried to a withered yellow color, and when the hot water was poured into the cup, a rich aroma of tea permeated the room.
"Pleaseβ" Charles poured himself a cup as well, the slightly bitter taste of tea boiling in his mouth, and he instantly felt like he was back in the real world.
In fact, the player druid is massively cultivating plants that are unknown in the world of Dawn, but are very popular in the world of Earth. For example, tea, and barley. Thanks to this, Charles was able to sit down on his knees and make a cup of barley tea to soothe his tense nerves.
The businesswoman took a few sips, her thin eyebrows furrowed slightly, clearly not used to the taste of barley tea.
Charles didn't care, put down the cup, and asked with a smile: "Lady Via, you may have heard that the Rock Leader is using troops against the orcs, and it may be a week or a month from now, the 'Rock Leader' Alliance will face a tough battle. β
"Therefore, I need to purchase a batch of military supplies."
The Merchant Wanders around the Rock Territory these days, and must have heard about the war from the Guild players. She was not surprised when she heard this, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly: "Military supplies?" I was able to collect in the Great Desert and the price was ......"
"Our partnership is well established, Ms. Via." Charles interrupted the businesswoman with a wave of his hand, and said meaningfully, "I believe that the price will definitely satisfy my business partner." β
Wei Ya was stunned, smiled amorously, and did not continue the topic in this regard.
The Rock Territory borders the Great Desert, and the Charr has not gathered information on the other side of the desert for a long time, and since there is a powerful female native from the desert sitting in front of him, he listens carefully.
"The most powerful Saint Advent organization in the desert right now should be the 'Desert Alliance', the last time we met in the Tifanton Wasteland, there was a group of 'Desert Alliance' people in my caravan, you should have seen it." Businesswoman Via said slowly, "The headquarters of the Desert Alliance is right next to the oasis controlled by my clan. β
"An oasis controlled by your clan?" Charles was slightly surprised, as if he didn't know enough about the business partner.
"Yes, the Oasis of Silence has always been controlled by our Moonblade Clan, and you should have heard of the Oasis of Silence." Businesswoman Via glanced at Charles seriously.
"I've heard of it." Charles nodded.
The Oasis of Silence is a large desert region with several indigenous forces in addition to the Netherlands, the most famous is the Silent Oasis Witch Council, as it stands, the businesswoman Via seems to be a member of that council.
The knowledge that witches have passed down from generation to generation is not to be underestimated. Charles thought of the group of shark lizards that had not yet been killed, and asked with an idea, "Last time you said that there was a way to kill those shark lizards?" β
"Yes." The businesswoman Wei Ya seemed to guess that the priest had such a question, and her narrow eyes narrowed slightly, "The easiest way is to use poison, but it must be specially refined alchemy poison." Bounty hunters use that toxin to kill underground monsters in hordes, such as giant ants, purple worms, digging worms, shark lizards, ......"
"Purple insects can also be poisoned?" Charles was amazed this time.
The purple worm is a giant magic beast, even the most ordinary purple worm, the challenge level is above the lv20 model, this monster is like an underground dragon, and it is more than twenty meters long casually after the maturity period, and the purple worm itself is also poisonous, and the stinger at the tail end can almost kill any professional other than a high-level warrior in seconds.
"That's right. But once the toxin is used, it takes several years for the contaminated land to recover naturally. "But I don't have that alchemy poison on me, if you need it, I'll report it to the Witches Council when I return to the Oasis, and I think the old witches will agree to the 'guardian's request." β
"So troublesome?" Charles frowned, but then he thought that he couldn't do anything about the shark lizards, so he could only focus on the construction of the territory first, and wait for the businesswoman to come over next time. (To be continued.) )
