"Then, this batch of weapons and equipment will be entrusted to you, now that the front line of Chiji Mountain is tight, please be sure to send it to the weapons administrator over there in time, this is the receipt, the other party will pay your commission after sending it, thank you!"

The blacksmith shop in Shanjin Town, which has already received an order equivalent to the entire production capacity of the shop, is working overtime to produce weapons and equipment, as long as there are mercenaries and armed caravans passing by to Chiji Mountain, they can take over the task of transporting equipment here, and produce batches and transport them away. This is what Iger and the others heard in the hotel, because it happened to coincide with their own route, and they could get the money if they helped, so why not?

Of course, the blacksmith is a place where Egger is the captain of the team, and the two beautiful girls go to sleep in the beauty salon, and the noisy environment here is really not suitable for them. The document shows a batch of spears, a batch of swords and armor, and there is a specific number below, and the ordinary mercenary team has to hire a carriage, so he naturally doesn't have such trouble, and he directly earns the space. This drew a respectful compliment...... Most of the mercenaries who can have space equipment are not small, not to mention that Egger also has the status of an intermediate mage.

The road from Shanjin Town to Donggu Lumberyard is a road, suitable for carriage traffic, Egger naturally will not be wronged by the girls, the next day he also hired a covered carriage, and set off after breakfast, without saying anything all the way.

Out of courtesy, he first visited the boss here, and Captain Ron was impressed with Egger's growth, and congratulated him on cutting off the suspicion of an incident, and asked him to meet Onniedel at the horse training farm, not to mention that Egg would also go. Her daughter Osa is very beautiful, and the most important purpose of this trip is to buy two junior war horses for Claire and Ellie, which will definitely not get around the hostess of the horse farm. But he didn't see the pretty huntress as he had hoped.

"It's Egg, it's great to see you're okay, Osa has been watching you, and I'm finally relieved to hear that you're okay in the end. Unfortunately, she originally planned to invite you to go to the Red Ridge Mountain to experience the experience, but I heard that you mixed well in the western wilderness, and then you were strained because of the lakeside town. I went out alone a few days ago. ”

The hostess was very welcoming to Egger. I haven't seen him for many days, this young man she was originally optimistic about is already an intermediate mage and baron, and Osa is not condescending to him. The more she looked at this young man, the more she liked it. The only thing that displeased this mother-in-law was. His female companions seem to be quite numerous: "These two beautiful girls are your companions?" ”

"Yes, Aunt Oni, they are my new teammates. This time we passed by here, just to buy two war horses for them, I don't know if it's inconvenient? The two girls also came to salute obediently, and their beautiful appearance and temperament were neither humble nor arrogant, which made the owner of the horse farm very fond of them.

"That's no problem, they are all knightly warriors, our horse farm is open to them, although they can only buy junior war horses, but don't worry, I will choose the best goods for them, come with me."

In business, Onidel was not ambiguous, led the three of them to the stable to choose horses, personally gave a lot of very pertinent construction, and combined with the preferences of the two women, she chose two of the top class in the junior war horse, and Ellie chose a big white horse, which matched her pure and dusty temperament; And Claire asked for a red horse, strong and powerful. As for high-end goods like magic reins, that is, a guy with excellent luck like Egger, or an ancestral heirloom like Osha, ordinary people can't buy it, one is to require a knighthood of at least a baron, and the other is too expensive.

"It's not too early, you can stay here with me tonight, there is still a long way to go past Chiji Mountain here, let's go early tomorrow morning." Onidel greeted the guests warmly, and casually teased them: "Osa's room is empty, do you want to stay together or do I prepare another one?" ”

This made the two sisters blush, and hurriedly took hands to occupy the place, and Egger naturally did not have the blessing to sleep with them.

"Seriously, Your Excellency Egger, I ask you to take care of that stupid girl in my family, she has a strong personality and is arrogant, and when idlers can't look down on her, you can get into her eyes, you just want to go to Chiji Mountain, if you meet, help me take care of her, if it's convenient, just accept her."

Egger hurriedly nodded and agreed, the other purpose of his coming here this time was probably to abduct Osha, but looking at the tone of others, it seemed that he was still eager to do so, and he always felt a feeling of helping his daughter entrust her for life: "Aunt Onie, are you so relieved that Osa went out alone a few days ago?" ”

The female owner sighed and shook her head: "How can a mother not worry about her?" But what about it? She's a hunter and has good qualifications, and if I keep her chained here, it's a disservice to her, and the chick has to let it learn to spread its wings, right? What's the matter with worrying, I still have to let her out. What's more, it has always been her wish to go to Chiji Mountain to kill the Black Stone Orcs, and I have my own responsibility, and I can't stop it. Fortunately, you take care of her, and I know your strength, so I can feel at ease. ”

"Blackstone orcs?"

"That's right, his father is gone over there......" After a long silence, she said softly: "I know that you may have a lot of women around you in the future, but you have to remember, don't let down my daughter, you must treat her well, you know?" ”

Iger nodded vigorously......

As soon as you step out of the Elwyn Forest, the scenery on the side of the road is completely different, unlike the lush green forest, this is a red earth, few trees, and the eye is full of vastness......

Withered vines and old trees, faint crows, ancient roads west wind thin horses! It is obviously not appropriate to say that thin horses, whether it is Elijie's white horse, Claire's jujube red horse or Egger's dark cloud cover snow, they are all good war horses. At first glance, they were very excited when they came to this vast environment, and it was as easy as an outing, but slowly they found that this place was not as beautiful as they imagined.

The deficit of the Red Ridge Mountains is reflected in the barren red soil, which is too arid and lacks sufficient fertility in the soil to grow crops. Not only that, but for ordinary civilians, it is full of dangers. Many of the thieves who had infiltrated the Elwyn Forest, as well as the ferocious gnolls, peeked out of the sparse bushes on either side of the road from time to time, and were ready to rush out of their hideouts and rob whenever they felt a chance...... Most of the victims have no chance of survival.

Of course, for the current three members of the Warcraft Mercenary Regiment, these bandits are not a threat enough, and in layman's terms, their level is too low. Claire and Ellie are both level 32, and Egger looks the weakest at only level 24, but is that really the case? And these bandits, who have an average level of only about 20, are at most just adding some excitement to their boring journey.

The trouble is not only that, on some red cliffs on both sides of the road, there are often some web-weaver spiders climbing up and down, and some will also attack humans, they can not only use their webs to catch their prey, but also usually have a high poison, if you don't have a little strength, it is really not easy to get through here.

This desolate scenery did not end until they saw a large lake, which the map showed to be the source of life in the Red Ridge Mountain, the Zhishui Lake. It was only here that they began to see some trees, greenery, and people, and in the distance they could see a large town, which was the destination of their trip, Lakeside Town.

However, judging from what they knew from the Lion King's Pride Tavern, Lakeside Town's situation was quite awkward. It looks like the town is getting bigger every year, but that's what worries me the most. The lake was originally larger, but because of the literal meaning of its name, it resembled a backwater lake, with no circulating water source, and only a few small rainfalls per year to maintain its water, and the ongoing drought here has begun to take shape, and the lake is shrinking year by year, and the water storage of this durable reservoir (forgive me for using this word to describe the lake) is also decreasing every year, and it is gradually drying up. Now we can still rely on the original foundation to survive, but what about ten years from now? What about a hundred years from now? Will there still be the so-called lakeside town of Zài?

Originally, there were no people here, and the aborigines were the jackals of the Red Ridge Mountains and the fish-people of the lake, as well as all kinds of wild beasts. But then human prospectors discovered that the barren hills were rich in copper and other minerals, and for the purpose of warfare, humans began to migrate here one after another, first miners, then blacksmiths, then merchants, and finally civilians, and the small lakeside village has now developed into a huge town, which may be a good thing for mankind because of the economic growth it has stimulated.

Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, a large number of high-quality ores are produced here; Relying on the water, the fishery here is also very developed, and the specialty of the lakeside town is the spotted sunfish, which is known for its tender meat, and is a high-end dish at the banquet of the aristocracy. There are also precious pearls that can also be harvested from the huge mussel shells produced in these waters. However, as more and more people grew, they dispersed the gnolls in the area, and repeatedly surrounded and suppressed the fish-people who occupied the lake, and the ecological balance here was destroyed like never before with the rapid development of human industry.

With Lakeside Human Industry becoming increasingly important to the Alliance, a horde of Blackstone Orcs began to intervene in the desolate land, and they began to destroy it in a way that was catastrophic for the already fragile ecological balance of the Red Ridge Mountains......

It simply can't feed so many over-the-top borers...... Whether it's a Horde or a Union! (To be continued......)
