Chapter 29: Travels from the Eastern Kingdom (3)
In the Arathi Heights, Li Nan and his convoy followed the main road to this new map, heading towards their next destination, Fort Riptide. However, they had not been on their way for two days before they were stopped by a troll army of more than thirty people. The trolls were all blue-green skinned, with green or blue hair, and two long fangs sticking out of their mouths. Holding a short wooden spear and shield in his hands, he was wearing tattered old leather armor, many of which were torn due to the lack of maintenance for a long time, and some trolls still had several skulls hanging from their waists.
When Li Nan was playing the game, he knew that there were two troll clans in the Arathi Heights, but he didn't remember that they belonged to that clan, after all, they were just miscellaneous soldiers. There are even ogres on the map of the Arathi Heights, but the orcs have not yet invaded, so there is no ogre race in Azeroth. However, the strength of these trolls is not strong, they are just level 25. Of course, this level is just not strong for Li Nan, and Li Nan doesn't even have the intention of doing it with his own people. After all, he hired the Minotaur for this situation.
And those minotaurs did not disappoint Li Nan, and directly walked out of the team with a team of ten people, and then without saying a word, they directly wanted those trolls to charge. These are Kane Bloodhoof's personal guards, and the weapons they use are wooden totem poles twice as thick as their arms, these totem poles have been blessed by the elements of the shaman, making them harder than steel, and they also add fire damage when attacking, and under the eyes of the system's kryptonite dogs, these weapons are all purple epic quality.
In the face of those trolls who are 20 levels lower than them, these totem poles of the minotaur will directly seriously injure a troll with a single blow, and the tattered leather armor on these trolls will not be able to resist the attack of these murder weapons.
But despite this, Li Nan still saw the horror of these trolls, most of the trolls who were hit by the totem pole were half of their bodies beaten to a bloody blur, and the bonus of fire damage on the totem pole scorched their wounds even more. However, not long after the trolls fell to the ground, they rose to their feet again, and their wounds were almost completely healed. Except for a few who failed to get up again, their heads were completely smashed by the totem pole, and then they died and could not die again.
After about 20 minutes, the battle finally ended, more than 30 trolls were wiped out, and the ten minotaurs who went out of the battle were all wounded, one of them was even pierced in the shoulder by the troll's spear, and then poisoned and ineffective.
After the battle, some of the Minotaur soldiers went to clean up the battlefield, but there was basically nothing to recover, the enemy's weapons and equipment were smashed by the huge brute force of the Minotaur, and these trolls were just as poor and had nothing. And a shaman priest who accompanied the team inserted a totem next to him, Li Nan just felt a magic power escaping from the totem, and then a large amount of life energy began to escape from a space near the totem, and the ten minotaur warriors all sat around the totem, and at the same time took out some dried meat and water from their luggage, only to see that their injuries recovered quickly under the rapid absorption of life energy.
It didn't take long for Li Nan and the others to be on the road again, as for the corpses of those trolls, just throw them into the nearby grass, and soon some beasts will be attracted by the smell of blood. However, Li Nan didn't expect that the blood of those trolls was actually blue, and Li Nan asked those minotaurs to help him collect some of the blood of the trolls, maybe it would be useful in the future.
When the convoy didn't go far, they saw a large number of velociraptors emerging from the grass not far away, and they pounced on the corpses of the trolls. The number of animals on this side of the Arathi Heights may seem like a lot, but the main road here should be cleaned regularly, and these animals are not too brave to approach the main road. Of course, with such a huge convoy as Li Nan and them, those animals were even more afraid to approach.
Riptide Fort is the capital of the oldest empire of mankind, but after more than 2,000 years of baptism, it has now declined, and most of the nobles have left, and according to Li Nan's words, there is not much oil and water for those who remain. But if you want to get to the wetlands via the Sadol Bridge, you have to go to Fort Rapids to get a pass, which is part of Fort Rapids' source of income. There are not many ways for the human kingdom to reach the wetlands, one is to start from the dock of Nanhai Town and go to Minahir Port by sea, and the other is to take the Arathi Heights, which is usually taken by caravans by land.
Therefore, in order to pass through the Sadol Bridge, Li Nan and the others could only settle down at Rapids Fort first, and then wait for the pass. When passing through Dunhold Castle, Li Nan had hired a guide, and he was also very familiar with the business of this kind of caravan, in fact, he had to find a guide like them to get the pass quickly, otherwise you would queue up slowly, of course, the price was not cheap. But for this kind of unspoken rule, Li Nan is used to it, it is all the familiar formula, or the familiar taste.
Of course, the current Riptide Castle has not yet been baptized by the Orcs and the Scourge Legion, although it has declined and is not as prosperous as Lordaeron, but its spending power is still not bad. Anyway, in the two days that Li Nan was waiting, the goblin sales had already sold goods of several thousand gold coins. Of course, this consumption power is simply weak compared to Lordaeron and Dalaran.
After staying in Rapids Fort for 3 days, Li Nan led the caravan to leave the day after the pass was granted. The consumption here in Riptide Fort is simply expensive, and the place rented by the entire caravan is no longer large, and the rent is actually 100 gold coins a day. Li Nan wanted to curse on the spot, you must know that the workers at the wharf in Nanhai Town earn only about 100 gold coins for a year of hard work to move things. And after the pass was issued, the Sadol Bridge was actually closed to traffic at that time, so Li Nan had an extra 100 gold coins to stay for one night. If it weren't for Dingyuan pulling him, Li Nan would have asked the ghost agent to give the Gong Castle a fusion blow.
However, what made Li Nan most speechless was that when he passed the bridge, he still had to pay the transportation fee, which was still 100 gold coins. These nobles of Riptide Castle have completely become goblins, and their behavior is simply robbing money, Li Nan has already decided not to go here next time, and it is better to take the sea route.
