"Master Van Lin, didn't I say it before, those money are all research funds sponsored by our Rogge Town, and you don't need to pay it back, it is already our honor for you to settle in Rogge Town."

Although Rogue Town is now in a financial crisis, Mrs. Leo still took out a hundred amethyst coins from the treasury to buy Lin Fan's exoskeleton, and she paid to help Lin Fan before because she wanted to sell him a favor, and she didn't want him to return the money to herself.

Lin Fan's price for this exoskeleton was fifty amethyst coins, he thought that this price was high enough, after all, the cost of this thing was only fifteen amethyst coins, and the most expensive was the amethyst ore as the core driving ability, which was worth about ten amethyst coins, but he didn't expect Mrs. Leo to give a high price of a hundred amethyst coins.

Lin Fan also heard a little about the financial crisis in Rogue Town, he didn't want to accept it, but seeing that Mrs. Leo was resolute, he didn't return the money, he pondered for a while, and said: "Mrs. Leo, I have a suggestion, why don't we cooperate to form a caravan, and the products I make will be sold by this caravan in the future." ”

"Really? Thank you so much, Your Excellency. ”

Mrs. Leo immediately smiled, the alchemy products of alchemists are very popular in this world, once this caravan is formed, it will definitely become a gold-absorbing machine, she originally considered whether to ask for help from the royal capital, but now the problem is solved at once.

For the decision to form a caravan, Lin Fan also thought about it, the current industry of this planet is very poor, he wants to create a spaceship to leave the planet, it needs to use a lot of resources and money, he has limited energy alone, it is impossible to take care of too many things, and Mrs. Leo cooperates to form a caravan, which can not only earn funds for the purchase of materials, but also do not have to consume his own energy and time, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Immediately, the two began to finalize the caravan, and the mode was similar to when Lin Fan cooperated with Xiao Xuanxuan on Earth before, but the conditions here were far worse than when they were on Earth.

"By the way, Master Fan Lin, during this time, I asked people to select some qualified apprentices in the territory, do you want to pick a few to go back and help?"

On this planet, there are a large number of apprentices around the average professional, and in addition to learning from the professional, these apprentices usually help the professional to complete some simple tasks.

"Apprentice?"

Lin Fan thought for a while, and felt that he really needed to find a few apprentices to help, now the intelligent robot has not yet come out, and a lot of simple and trivial work has to be handled by himself, if there are a few apprentices to help, then his workload will be reduced a lot, and after teaching them, some simple tasks can be completed by someone to help him in the future, and he doesn't have to do everything himself.

Even if the intelligent robots are brought out in the future, the role of these apprentices is irreplaceable, after all, those robots with primary intelligence cannot be compared with the brains of intelligent beings, unless he solves the problem of the holy relics and converts the intelligent robots into mechanical life.

Soon, eight young boys and girls were brought in from outside by the housekeeper, and these men and women were all children selected from the town of Rogue and several surrounding villages in the past half month.

Lin Fan originally wanted Duolun to choose first, but he didn't know that the other party disliked the qualifications of these apprentices too low, and he couldn't look down on any of them, so Lin Fan asked for them all at once, anyway, technology is such a thing, as long as the brain is good enough, the qualification is dispensable.

Eight apprentices, five men and three women, all children between the ages of eleven and fourteen, after they learned that they had been accepted by Lin Fan, an alchemist, they walked up to Lin Fan one by one and saluted respectfully: "Teacher." ”

When Lin Fan was about to go back with the eight apprentices, there was a rush of bells in the center of the town.

Not long after, the housekeeper Engels walked quickly to Mrs. Leo's side, and said with a heavy face: "Madame, it's not good, there are traces of demonized orcs in Ximu Village, ask for support!" ”

"Gather the soldiers now, let's go!" Madame Leo's charming face froze, revealing a rare hint of evil.

Rogue Town is located in the northern border of the Griffin Kingdom, and is only separated from the northern plains of the Orc Empire by a Warcraft Mountain Range, so the towns or villages here are often plundered by orcs.

Soon, in the square of the castle, there were five hundred swordsmen in leather armor and three hundred cavalrymen in full armor, and Madame Leo also changed into black leather armor at this time, with a thin sword hanging from her waist, and rode on a wildebeest covered with white scales.

"Let's go!"

As soon as she gave the order, the army of eight hundred people rushed out of the castle and rushed towards Ximen Village in the north.

Built in a canyon between two cliffs, Westwood Village is the gateway to the north of Rogue Town, and orcs who infiltrate the North must pass through Westwood Village if they want to enter Rogue Town.

When Lin Fan came to Ximu Village with the army, the battle had not yet begun, and standing on the wall of the village's wooden village, he saw the enemy attacking the village this time.

Gray-green skin, short stature, large pointed ears, long hooked nose, wide face and large mouth, wearing a tattered fur skirt, revealing a pregnant belly, wielding a thick wooden stick, and making a strange scream.

This kind of outside is exactly the same as those low-level cannon fodder green essences inside!

However, with the attack of those demonized orcs below, it was difficult for Lin Fan to associate the word cannon fodder with them, because these short guys were extremely ferocious.

He saw with his own eyes that a thin-looking "goblin" dodged the burly swordsman's relatively clumsy long sword with dexterous steps, and swung the wooden stick in his hand like a watermelon, smashing the swordsman's skull, which was really cruel and unwanted.

The 500-odd swordsmen in rudimentary leather armor outside the wooden walls gradually began to be unable to withstand the attacks of the thousands of goblins, and the situation was precarious, and one can imagine what fate would have suffered to the unarmed villagers in the village if these swordsmen were defeated and those murderous creatures rushed in.

"Quick, archers attack, don't let that damn goblin get close to the wooden wall anyway!"

A bald man, drawing his iron sword at his waist, screamed loudly below.

On the wooden wall, more than thirty archers improvised from the village immediately began to shoot at the goblins below, but unfortunately the weak oak arrows could not inflict substantial damage on the goblins.
