Chapter 136: Precursor to the Raid

When President Cruise and President Resa saw Xu Yi appear in front of them with a group of heavily armed elves in leather armor, they were both stunned.

The corners of President Cruise's mouth twitched, and he barely showed a smile, and stretched out his hand to President Ressa: "May you lose the bet, President Ressa, give the money." ”

President Resa stared at the elves behind Xu Yi for a long time, then took out a gold coin from his arms and handed it to President Cruise, shook his head, and sighed: "President Xu is really not an ordinary person, and it really opened my eyes to the fact that he can really invite the elves as guards." ”

Seeing the movements of the two, Xu was a little inexplicable.

"Did you bet?"

President Cruise smiled and put the gold coins in his pocket carefully, and then Xu Yi nodded and replied, "Well, I made a small bet with President Relsa, I bet that you can hire an elven guard, and he bet that he can't." Now, of course I won. Haha......"

Xu Yi was speechless for a moment, thinking that one of these two guys was almost fifty years old, and the other was over forty, and he still had the leisure to bet on such a small thing.

What's even more speechless is that the chamber of commerce of the two of them both earns millions of gold coins a year, and after making a bet, the bet is only one gold coin!

Not bothering to pay attention to the two guys who were still arguing about whether these elves were the guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, Xu Yi's eyes fell on a train not far away, and asked, "Have all the things arrived?"

President Resa ended her argument with President Cruise and replied, "Well, that's the first batch of ore equipment we're going to need. Except for those mine magic machines produced by your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. The Falcau Chamber of Commerce also provided a lot of other necessary equipment, and sent several mining experts to accompany it. Here. It's over there. ”

President Cruise and Xu Yi looked at several people in the distance who were obviously different from the guards of the Renekton Chamber of Commerce in terms of dress and demeanor, and couldn't help but ask Xu Yi, "President Xu." Did you make some kind of agreement with the Falcao Chamber of Commerce in private? Otherwise, why would President Morgan so readily agree to help and provide so much equipment this time?"

Xu Yi smiled slightly and replied vaguely: "When I went to Anweimar City before, I met with the Marquis of Joseph and talked to him for a while. ”

President Cruise and President Resa looked at each other, and the shock in each other's eyes was recognized.

This Xu Yi silently actually secretly reached some kind of agreement with the Joseph family, which is really outstanding.

Now that the people have arrived. The supplies were also prepared, and the group did not delay any longer, starting from the small town of Samara and marching mightily towards the Worrall werewolf tribe.

This time, the three chambers of commerce cooperated to open a mine in the Worrall werewolf tribe, so the materials prepared were naturally extremely abundant and varied, so the convoy of goods consisted of a full thirty-four large wagons, plus the coachmen responsible for transporting the goods and the guards of the three chambers of commerce, the convoy was extremely large.

Before that. Including the Renekton Chamber of Commerce, all the human chambers of commerce that do business with the orcs in the Black Rice Wasteland are just staying at the process of reselling goods to each other, and even if they form a caravan, it will be a few carriages at most. It simply can't be compared to the current team.

According to President Relsa, this caravan was now the largest human caravan he had ever seen or heard of entering the Black Rice Wasteland.

Bigger, the more noticeable it will be.

So the convoy has just stepped out of the confines of the small town of Samara. Stepping foot on the Black Rice Wasteland, the guards of the Renekton Chamber of Commerce reported. Someone nearby was monitoring the convoy.

Hearing this, President Cruise was a little nervous.

"President Relsa. Is the news you've received true? Is there really an orc clan targeting us? Do you know how many orcs are targeting us? Is there a big threat? Are we enough guards?"

President Resa shook his head, "I only know that there are orcs targeting us, but I don't know which orcs they are and how many there are. ”

"What then?" said President Crews, worried. "What if there are too many orcs and the guards can't stop them?"

President Relsa laughed: "Don't worry, the current orc race is no longer a thousand-year-old orc race. Even if any orcs really dare to come, it is impossible to come too much, and our guards will definitely be able to cope with it. Besides, President Xu also brought fifty elven warriors. They're worth hundreds of human soldiers alone, no problem. ”

Hearing this, President Cruise was a little relieved, and glanced at the elven warriors who were silently following the convoy on both sides of the convoy at this time, as if he had gained some comfort.

"President Xu, it would be better if you could bring some dwarven guards. President Crews suddenly had a question. "By the way, I'm curious, why did you bring an elven guard, but not a dwarven guard? Even the arrogant elves are willing to serve as the guards of your chamber of commerce, why don't the dwarves refuse?"

Xu Yi replied helplessly: "This...... The reason is not clear for a while, in short, the dwarven guards don't think about it for the time being. Even if they are the elven warriors of the Night Song Clan, they can't be regarded as the guards of our Chamber of Commerce strictly speaking. If you really want to say it, you can only be regarded as mercenaries. ”

"Do they listen to you, then?" said President Ressa, sniffing a crucial question.

"They will listen to my orders, but the specific command is not in my hands, after all, I don't understand how these elven warriors fight. Xu Yi replied.

"If only I could listen to your orders. If you really encounter any situation, I hope that President Xu will let them cooperate with the guards of our Chamber of Commerce. ”

"Well said. ”

At first, the road was relatively peaceful, but according to the reports of the guards of the Renekton Chamber of Commerce, more and more watchers appeared in the vicinity.

Although the watchers did not take any action, the atmosphere in the entire caravan became tense invisibly.

According to President Relsa, when they came to the Black Rice Wasteland to do business before, they had also encountered many times when they were monitored by orcs, but most of the time, those orcs obediently retreated in the end, and did not make any moves, and only a few times did they actually start robbing.

But no matter which time, there are not as many watchers around as there are this time.

It can be inferred from this that not only are they making a big move this time, but I am afraid that the orc side will also make a big move.

And since there is such an obvious big move, I am afraid that the orc clan will not be willing to retreat like this this time, but will choose to really do it.

Hearing President Relsa's analysis, President Cruise became worried.

He suggested that it would be better to go back and ask the Kingdom army to assist in the defense, but President Relsa directly rejected it.

This caravan operation is a private operation of the Chamber of Commerce and has nothing to do with the Kingdom military.

Without an order, the army of the kingdom would never come to serve as a guard for the private chamber of commerce.

Although with the connections and abilities of the three of them, they can use Count Guò Satsuma to give orders to the kingdom army, but this kind of thing is indispensable, even if the kingdom army can serve as a guard this time, can it also serve as a guard next time?

Not to mention that the three chambers of commerce want to open mines in the Worrall werewolf tribe, they can't let the kingdom army help protect their mines all the time.

"The orc race is a race that values force very much, if we can't take this opportunity to deter all the orc races in the Black Rice Wasteland, then even if the mine is opened in the future, I am afraid that there will be no peace. President Resa said his true intentions with a stern face. "So this time, we must take this opportunity to beat these orcs and make them remember forever that they don't come to provoke us in the future!"

"I support. Xu Yi immediately expressed his attitude. "Instead of being on guard every day, it's better to do it once and for all. ”

Both of them made their statements so clear that President Crews naturally had nothing to say but to support.

According to President Relsa's experience, orcs are generally much more intelligent than humans, so they tend to rob at night.

Based on the distance between the small town of Salaam and the Worrall werewolf tribe, the convoy would only take a day to get there.

Therefore, if the orcs want to rob, there is only one chance tonight.

So after Xu Yi heard this analysis, he didn't care about the bumps in the carriage, and immediately fell asleep.

It wasn't until late in the evening, when the convoy stopped somewhere in the wasteland to set up camp, that Xu Yi woke up.

Seeing that President Resa was busy directing the guards to set up camp, Xu Yi jumped out of the carriage and came to an elf from the Nightsong clan and asked, "Hey, Fario, how's it going?"

This elf, named Falio, was the leader of the fifty elven warriors.

According to the agreement reached between Elder Elucia and Xu Yi, Xu Yi can order these elves to accomplish something, but the specific command will be carried out by Fario, and Xu does not need to interfere.

Xu Yi naturally trusts Fario's professionalism, and naturally he won't point fingers at these elves when they are fine, so he didn't come to ask about the situation until now.

No matter what he thought in his heart, Fario was still very respectful to Xu Yi on the surface, and replied after giving him a salute: "Elder, I have already smelled the stench of those orcs in the wind, and I have felt their malice. From what I know of them, they should be attacking tonight. ”

"Well, well, you can help the other guards protect the caravan tonight. Xu Yi paused, and then said, "But I want you to pay priority attention to protecting your own safety." It doesn't matter if the goods are gone, but if you are injured or even killed, it is irreparable loss, understand?"

Fario's eyes moved slightly, and he nodded in response, "Follow your orders." (To be continued......)
