Chapter 61: Kane - Bloodhoof
Brad felt that something must have gone wrong, and Kane, as the co-leader of the Minotaurs, shouldn't he have fought the centaurs to the death in the Bleak Lands.
The last time he met Wojin at sea, and this time he met Kane, one of the future tribal bosses, Brad felt that this world was too small: "Your Excellency is Chief Kane?" ”
Kane was visibly stunned, but the minotaurs behind him were all on guard.
Brad hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I heard your name from a friend, saying that your Excellency is a wise and wise leader, and it is really extraordinary when I see it today. ”
Kane signaled his subordinates not to be impulsive, and said politely: "Your Excellency is not an ordinary person at first glance, I don't know who is from the Alliance, although our Minotaur tribe was originally a bleak place, but we still have some understanding of the Alliance. ”
"Don't speak dark words in front of the bright people, contemptible Brad. Tiris's method. Brad also said politely, for Kane, a real totem warrior, Brad has no need to hide his identity, and the positioning he gave to the Jade Leader in his heart is neutrality, although there is no new alliance and new tribe yet, but maintaining good relations with various forces in advance is the basis for neutrality in the future, and the Jade Leader is a very important part of opening up the market in Kalimdor.
Kane was obviously stunned, and was about to laugh, but he felt that it was inappropriate, and hurriedly whispered: "It turned out to be the marshal of the alliance, and your Excellency's deeds are like thunder even in Kalimdor." Although Your Excellency's appearance has changed, this unique aura cannot deceive people. ”
"It's over, I guess what you've heard is a lie. It was only the light of the old marshal, coupled with the heroic fighting of the legions of the Alliance, that I achieved victory. ”
Kane shook his head and said, "Your Excellency is humble. He can command the armies of the various forces of the alliance and convince all the generals, but I believe that no one in the alliance can do this. The strength of the tribe is undoubted, but it still ended miserably, and I have carefully studied your battle examples, and I am even more eager for your new army armament. ”
"Okay, no matter how much you praise me, I'm going to heaven. Let's get down to business. Being so praised by Kane, Brad was still secretly happy in his heart.
Kane waved his hand, and the two minotaurs brought three wooden crates. Kane sat down with the two of them and said, "Haha, I'm absolutely heartfelt. I wonder if you know about the war between our tribe and the centaurs? ”
Brad nodded and said, "I've heard that the nobles are fighting with the centaurs for control of the Bleak Lands. ”
Centaur Brad is still very clear. His Liaoyuan is a small khan of the Centaur tribe. To say that the origin of the centaur is also extraordinary. Their ancestors were the demigod Cenarius's son Zarta, and the third daughter of the Elemental Lord, Princess Thrydes, the two of them creating a race, which was also a very remarkable thing in Brad's opinion.
However, because Thrydes is the daughter of the Stone Mother, and the Stone Mother is a subordinate of the Elder God, she guided Cenarius not to recognize her son's marriage, so naturally she is not interested in centaurs, and the night elves who are close to Cenarius are extremely indifferent to centaurs. Coupled with the xenophobia of centaurs and trolls, centaurs are considered evil beings in Kalimdor. In the Eastern Continent, it was the survival of slaves, which was considered an inferior race.
As for the war with the Minotaurs. In Brad's view, this is the same as the previous war between trolls and human elves, because the growing population cannot meet people's needs for territory, and for the continuation and development of the race, there is only a fight to the death. There is no right or wrong in this kind of war.
There are still vast lands waiting to be developed in Mogaure and the Barrens, but neither of the two races that have killed the red eyes will back down, Brad remembers that in the previous life, it was the Minotaur who was finally defeated by the centaurs and had to leave the bleak land, if it were not for the help of the tribe led by Thrall to kill the centaurs, the minotaurs would probably be wiped out.
Kane sighed and said: "You should know that although we minotaurs are brave, we have encountered more powerful centaurs, they have the blood of demigods, and we are not afraid of melee combat, but the bows and arrows of centaurs are too powerful, and often when we charge halfway, half of the warriors fall." Their mobile combat capabilities are too strong, and we suffer a lot. When I heard that the marshal's muskets could reach hundreds of yards and that special musket corps had been formed, I was envious. It's a pity that Kalimdor is too far away from the Eastern Continent, and we don't have anything to exchange. ”
Brad immediately understood, Kane thought of using a musket to deal with the centaurs, but he didn't have a chance, but Brad was also very embarrassed by this, he didn't have many rune muskets, and now it was less than 20,000.
Brad said with some embarrassment: "I understand what Your Excellency meant, but you should know that rune muskets are very different from ordinary muskets, and we can't popularize them in our territory, let alone sell them." ”
A trace of disappointment flashed in Kane's eyes, but he still said: "Although our tribe doesn't have any good things, but there are still specialties in the Bleak Land, we used to trade with goblins, as long as the marshal is willing to sell some rune muskets, I can call the shots to stop trading with goblins, and replace it with Jasper Collar, I believe that the marshal traveled thousands of miles to Kalimdor not just to increase experience." ”
"Your Excellency misunderstood, I'm really not shirking, it's really difficult for rune guns to be popularized. However, although I can't sell rune guns in large quantities, it's still okay to get some of them, and we have to fight with centaurs, muskets are not the only winning weapon, artillery and mechanical vehicles in our territory, and we can even reach cooperation in other aspects, such as training other professions. Add new clans. ”
Hearing Brad's words, Kane's eyes lit up, knowing that the Jasper Territory had a new battle formation, and he had done an understanding of the Jasper Leader's army structure and equipment configuration, he knew that Brad was right, and Brad's unique development method really made him feel bright. But it's a pity that the Minotaur has been fighting with the Centaurs, and the Minotaurs of the other two tribes are still fighting on their own, and the Minotaurs themselves have not yet been twisted into a rope, and there is no good environment for development at all.
"Then how do you want to cooperate?" Kane knew that the Minotaurs didn't have that much to exchange for, and he believed Brad knew that too.
Brad shook his head and said, "Your Excellency has never been to other continents, and you don't know the prices of your specialties at all, as well as the bows and arrows of the centaurs you have captured, whether they are in demand in the kingdom of humans or the kingdom of the High Elves. Buying and selling is just to make money, but goblins buy at the price of cabbage and sell at the price of jewelry. ”
Kane smiled wryly and said, "I've heard a little about it, but the problem is that all trade routes are controlled by goblins, and we are not good at these and have no energy, the long way from the Bleak Lands to Ratchet City, plus the ships and sailors needed for sea transportation, it is simply impossible for us." ”
Brad nodded to show that he understood that every race in Azeroth had a special talent for each race, and this talent was innate. Although the human race is not outstanding in all aspects, its learning ability and creative ability are the best in Azeroth, which is the main reason why the human race has suffered heavy losses in the previous life, but it is still the strongest new force.
Brad picked up a longbow that looked rough on the outside, but was a well-equipped longbow and said, "Forget it, let's talk about the trade of these bows and arrows." The reason why the chieftain traded here, rather than selling it to goblins, must have been to sell it for a good price. ”
"These bows and arrows were captured by me during the battle with the centaurs the day before yesterday, and I thought that I might as well put them out and sell them anyway, but you can see that very few are sold." Kane said helplessly.
Brad nodded understandingly, although these bows and arrows are good for adventurers, and they are relatively cheap, but they are not suitable for them as low-level professionals, the hunter profession is not so easy to do, just the money of the arrow can make a hunter adventurer destitute, not to mention the pets that need to be grasped, and pets, carnivorous people want to eat meat, omnivorous fruits, no matter which type is a big burden on hunters, and it is not easy for hunters to change jobs, which causes the scarcity of hunter professions.
Only some large teams or unions will spend money on a small number of hunters, and it is difficult for individual adventurers to afford it. Generally a warrior, as long as you have a weapon to fight, it is the most popular profession.
"I have all these bows and arrows, of course, the chief should know that I can't give them to you at the price in Lordaeron. I can give a price twice as high as the goblin, I will take it all, and if there is a stock in the future, I will start at this price, I don't know if the chief will be willing. ”
Kane was overjoyed and readily agreed.
But when Kane really broke the price, Brad realized how crazy the goblins were, and it turned out that the goblins were exchanged for weapons and armor eliminated by the Alliance, and even old grain and black bread, and even the rangers cherished bows and arrows.
Even if the price doubles, the value of the bow and arrow is not worth mentioning, Brad has always believed in the principle of thin water, and once again took the initiative to raise the price and buy this batch of goods.
Seeing that everything had been decided, Kane said happily: "If the Jasper Collar is at this price in the future, and the Jasper Collar is also interested in doing this kind of trade, I hope we can cooperate for a long time." ”
Brad smiled and said, "This is naturally good, we have the intention of establishing a port here, and I believe that the road from the bleak land to the dust swamp is closer, which will be beneficial to both of us." ”
Brad knew that this trade was not so easy to do, and it was impossible for the goblins to watch the Jasper Collar swallow the huge piece of fat in front of him, and the competition between the Jasper Collar and the goblins had just begun...... (To be continued......)
