Chapter 818: Goblin Team
"Master, you have a thirty-minute break, I will now arrange for someone to count the number of people and allocate supplies!"
Although Abagon is a little flattering, but he is resolute in doing things, war is not simply to take the legion to the front line to fight, there are too many things to consider, just a logistics can not keep up, and before the war starts, the soldiers are afraid that they will be the first to mutiny.
"Downton, I've seen a lot of goblins, they all know how to read, and if anyone is telling me in the future that goblins are synonymous with stupidity, I'll have to break his front teeth. ”
Little Walnut floated in on an empty ray, his face excited, "Those goblins are so good at calculating accounts, I don't know many formulas, oops, you guys come in quickly, let the big brother see!"
As little Lori greeted, a group of small goblins walked in, their faces were all timid, and when they saw Downton, they immediately knelt down and didn't dare to raise their heads.
"Don't you feel ashamed that you can't even compare to a goblin?"
Homer was helpless, why was Walnut not self-motivated.
"But I can beat them a hundred, no, a thousand!"
Hu Tao lowered her head, her little hands behind her back, drew circles on the ground with her toes, and her little lips were full of unconvinced, and she felt that she was being looked down upon.
"What's going on?"
Downton looked at the butler.
"Except for the Jews, we goblins are some of the best merchants in the world, and although they have declined, there are always some goblins who have inherited this knowledge from our ancestors, and this is what we rely on to survive. ”
"Most of them live in Lombardy, and I bought them back!"
"Hmm!"
Downton nodded in understanding.
If the Netherel civilization is the most brilliant age of magic, and the giant civilization is the most prosperous era of force, then the great goblin civilization. It was the peak of technology and commerce, and with the help of goblin airships, the goblins spread their trade routes across the planes.
The venture capital company established by the big goblins once invested in more than 90% of the chambers of commerce in the Western Continent, and it can be said that it has many tentacles.
The goblin has a thin body, and its combat power belongs to the trash fish level. But relying on the power of his mind and gold coins, he has reigned on this continent for more than 10,000 years.
With the end of the era of goblins, goblins have gradually become lowly beings like rats, taking on the titles of robbers and thieves, which is disgusting, but not all goblins are willing to fall, like Abagon, eager to restore the glory of their ancestors and reproduce the elites of the era of goblins. They are hungry for knowledge.
In the entire Western Continent, Lombardy is the most prosperous country in commerce and the center of the world economy, and there is even a hint of the budding phenomenon of capitalism, where goblins do not have to face the fate of being hanged as thieves as soon as they are discovered, they can rely on their hands to earn a salary enough to live.
Merchants have a keen sense of smell and vision. When this talent of some goblins was discovered, they immediately signed a slave contract. Let them work for themselves for decades or even for life, as for the filthy reputation of the goblins, they don't care, as long as they can make money, even if the other party is a death row prisoner, they dare to use it.
"We now have eighty-six goblins in the West. A total of twelve million gold coins were spent. ”
When Abagun said this, he secretly observed Downton's expression, and was ready to be beaten.
The rest of the goblins buried their heads deeper, trembling in fear of their lives. It's not even worth a copper plate, and now it suddenly costs so much money, so it's no wonder that the owner is not angry.
"Ahh......h ”
"There will definitely be no loss, these goblins have more than ten years of experience, and all of them are dragging their families, their children have been educated, as long as they are systematically cultivated, they will immediately become a reserve force and participate in the construction of the western border. ”
Abagon hurriedly explained, sweating profusely, and didn't dare to wipe it, "I signed a lifetime contract with them for three generations, and when they die, even their souls belong to their masters." ”
"Master, we will be loyal to you for generations!"
The goblins hastened to show their loyalty.
"There's no need to be so troublesome, as long as you do it well, every three years, I will pay you the slave contracts of the three most outstanding goblin merchants without repayment!"
Not to mention that Abagon's vision is good, even if the goblins he picked out for selfishness are stupid, Downton also admits it, the goblin steward has proven his ability, spending more than 10 million to buy his loyalty, this deal, it is definitely worth it.
"What?"
The goblins were stunned, but they didn't expect that there was no punishment, but they ushered in a great news, if they were loyal because of fear just now, then at this moment, they were really eager to die for Downton.
"Master, what you said is true?"
A goblin asked, only to Abagon's immediate jump and jerk him in the cheek.
"Shut up, the master has always been a promise!"
The beaten goblin was not angry, but smirked.
"Master, Abagun will swear to serve you to the death!"
After giving his companion a warning look, Abagun fell to his knees in excitement and kissed Downton's boots.
"Get up, you are also the first Chancellor of the Exchequer under me, and you will be looked down upon for being so humble. Downton picked up the grateful, goblin butler and patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, go ahead, but don't blame me for not reminding you, take care of those goblins, if something goes into serious trouble, I won't show mercy." ”
"If something really goes wrong, I won't kill them without you doing anything!"
Abagon's face was hideous.
"You guy, you have also learned to be gracious and gracious!"
Watch a group of enthusiastic goblins walk out. Homer sighed.
"It's just more than 10 million gold coins, so it's an investment, anyway, with my current net worth, I can afford to lose it!"
Downton wants to establish a logistics company, there is a shortage of this kind of economic talent, he trusts Sissi, but he doesn't trust the people she brought, those guys are from the business empire Lombardy, they must be experts in manipulating the economy, he doesn't want to be deceived and deceive, and even lose his pants.
"It's a trivial matter to lose all the gold coins, I think the master may become the laughing stock of the human kingdom, no, the entire continent. ”
Su Ya pursed his lips, the reputation of the goblins is too bad, and Downton must be ridiculed for using them to manage finances.
"Hey, I've been regarded as a barbarian, and there are not a few people who call me the Indigenous Duke behind my back!"
Because there were too many hill natives under Downton, not only the nobles, but also the commoners, who called him that, with his hearing, he had already heard the whispers on the streets.
When Downton walked out of the gate again, the blood and dead bodies on the floor and steps had been disposed of, and after seeing the Duke's methods, the servants dared to slack off, one by one respectfully and carefully, for fear of being punished for their mistakes.
"Let's go, let's go!"
Downton rode the Green Goblin and took the lead.
The scorching nightmare of the broken mouth was a man who went crazy, looking at the onlookers on both sides of the street, it put on the most beautiful running posture, and the four hooves of the fire not only knocked out the clearest sound, but also left a burning and dazzling hoof print on the long street.
The dwarven hoplites followed, the iron-spine dragon under their crotch running by, their thick limbs like hammers beating the drums of war, deafening so deafening that even the earth and the buildings on both sides trembled slightly.
The demon man has not received military training, and after running for a hundred meters, the queue is uneven, but fortunately, the demon servants on the horse are all assigned by the Black Flame Church, and their appearance and strength are naturally not bad, and they can be regarded as saving a lot of points.
The citizens looked at this legion, and after the initial stunned, they erupted in great cheers, the stronger the duke's power, the safer they naturally were.
Of course, some spies with ulterior motives looked a little solemn when they saw this scene, and the enemy's strength was even stronger than expected.
"Black hand, you lead the team, rush to the front line as much as possible, I will go first. ”
As soon as he left the city, Downton ordered his subordinates, and then took out the Holy Snow Falcon mount, jumped on it, and rushed towards the front line.
Now the time is urgent, if it weren't for the peace of the citizens and the show of strength, Downton would have taken off directly from the Duke's Palace.
The king and the Duke of the Four Realms have a bad relationship, and they both want to replace each other, so although he wants to annex the Western Territory, in order to avoid the fall of the royal capital, he does not dare to draw too many troops, so Downton's main opponent is still the Duke of the North.
Probably in order to complete his work in one battle, the Duke of the North actually displayed 50,000 soldiers on the shore of Yuexi Lake, waving flags to cover the sky and the sun.
On the other side, with Aoki Town as the center, there are only 8,000 people stationed there, most of whom are newly recruited hill natives.
"What kind of military formation is this? If the enemy attacks, I'm afraid it has already been breached, right?"
Hovering in the sky, looking at the loose camp, Downton's face darkened, as for not many human soldiers, he had already heard what Abagorn had said.
In order to cope with the upcoming war, he recruited a lot of natives, these guys are wild and untamable, disobedient, and have conflicts with humans every day, he has no choice but to transfer a few human regiments to the Eastern Front to fight against the king's army.
Although the number of human corps is more than that of the indigenous corps, it is still not good compared to the king's army, and the training has been neglected during the year, so the morale has already fallen to a low point, and it is definitely a one-touch collapse, fortunately, the commander of the king's army did not launch a general offensive for various reasons, otherwise the army in the west would have collapsed long ago.
"Both of them must be waiting for the other to attack first!"
Downton gasped, this situation was really more thrilling than walking on a single-plank bridge.
The natives in the camp did not practice, and one by one they lay lazily on the red clay square, chatting, farting and basking in the sun, occasionally catching a lice and throwing it into their mouths to chew.
"I'm Dibolo, the enemy's scouts are here again, it's so annoying!"
The natives looked at the holy snow falcon in the sky, not only did they not feel any nervousness, but they didn't even hide it, which simply made the other party see the situation in the camp clearly. (To be continued......)
