Chapter 88 Trafficking in Persons
The strength is strong, and he is an orc, and the calculation of the time he came over is also more reasonable, after thinking about the situation at that time, Zhou Tian will naturally think that if there is no accident at this time, the lion-headed man who came to look for him at this time should be from the Thirteenth Legion.
Obviously, the current problem of the Thirteenth Legion is not small, and when they are left near Zhou Tian's territory, it means that this legion has almost given up on the Beamon royal family. Unless they had another backstage and were strong enough to confront Beamon the Great, the life of this legion would certainly not be easy.
In fact, from the series of performances of the Thirteenth Legion, it can be seen from Zhou Tian that the legion at that time has almost reached the point of exhaustion, if it does not get the corresponding support, maybe one day in the future, maybe that legion will be disbanded suddenly!
I don't know what is supporting them, but judging from the situation at the time, it is obvious that those orcs of the Thirteenth Legion are not willing to disband their legions like this. So tomorrow life is tight, but they are still fulfilling their responsibilities and solving their needs according to their own methods.
Obviously, it is very difficult to solve the logistics of a legion on their own, even if even the elven empire they are facing rarely invades, and usually only need to consider daily consumption. But even so, if you want to feed an army on your own, not everyone is capable of doing it.
It is estimated that it is precisely because of the pressure that as soon as Zhou arrived in the territory, someone in the Thirteenth Army took the initiative to contact him at that time. It's just that when Zhou Tian came to the door later, he encountered an accident, whether it was instigated or really accidental, in short, because of the previous incident, the relationship between Zhou Tian and the Thirteenth Army became tense.
As a result, because of the last incident, Zhou Tian and the Thirteenth Army have not been in contact, although the two sides are not hostile, but it is really difficult to reach a cooperative relationship for a while.
Without cooperation, then the Thirteenth Legion would definitely not be able to get hold of the things here in Zhou Tian. Depending on their situation, they have a way to get their hands on food and other things, but things like salt that are not produced nearby, so it will be difficult to get enough supplies to consume.
Not to mention how the orcs got those supplies before, they may still have other ways to do now. But since there is such a salt seller as Zhou Tian nearby, even if there is a misunderstanding between the two sides, as long as it is not really eaten for nothing and treated him as an enemy, those orcs have no reason to let him go as a channel to buy salt.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Zhou Tian thought about the identity of the lion-headed people at the moment, and even knew their intentions. As for the relationship between the two sides, it was like those orcs would take the initiative to come to the door, and Zhou Tian did not resist this.
Don't say that Zhou Tian hasn't given up the idea of establishing cooperation with the Thirteenth Legion, even if Zhou Tian had already given up that idea at that time, it is impossible to push this business sent to the door at this time. After all, the business that the other party is asking for will not pose a threat to him, and if a business like this is not done because there is a little misunderstanding between the two parties, then Zhou Tian's business is destined to become smaller and smaller, and eventually it will not be able to do it at all.
In this way, Zhou Tian already had a plan in his heart, and after listening to the report of his subordinates, he directly ordered without saying a word: "Bring them over!" After speaking, when the security guard left, Zhou Tian thought about it, and finally called Arnold to his side.
Although theoretically speaking, it should be impossible for those orcs to deal with him before Zhengtailong left, but it was a matter of his own life, Zhou Tian could not risk his own safety just because of a speculation. Therefore, theory is theory, and some precautions must be done on Sunday.
Arnold's strength is not as strong as the extremely strong lion-headed man Zhou Tian doesn't know, but based on the resources Zhou Tian has invested in Arnold, it is not a problem for Arnold to block the lion-headed man for a period of time. And as long as the lion-headed man doesn't have a chance to take him down instantly, he can hold on for a little time, and wait for his men and horses to come back to help, then even if the lion-headed man is in danger, Zhou Tian is confident that he can take the other party down.
After all, no matter how good the martial artist is, he is only a martial artist, and he does not have the ability of a magician to kill the enemy on a large scale. If they don't have a chance to get close to their target, a one-man sea tactic can force them back.
And obviously, in his own territory, once those orcs under Zhou Tian are dispatched, no matter how strong the lion-headed man is, it is estimated that it will be difficult to really pose a threat to Zhou Tian.
As a result, after taking Arnold's insurance, when the lion-headed man walked in front of him, Zhou Tian didn't have any nervousness.
"Your Excellency, I'm here this time ......"
"Buy salt. ”
"Uh, yes. The lion-headed man who was robbed by Zhou Tian was stunned for a while, but then he nodded without concealment and admitted Zhou Tian's guess, and then regardless of what Zhou Tian thought, he took care of himself and continued: "Of course, coming to you to buy salt is only one aspect, in fact, I have another business to find you and want to cooperate with you, I don't know if you are interested?"
"What business?" Although he couldn't tell the other party's purpose, no matter what, Zhou Tian was still quite interested in the lion-headed man's words at that time. After all, Zhou Tian still hasn't dispelled his ambitions for the population of the Thirteenth Legion so far, and now although it is impossible for the other party to take the initiative to send those soldiers over, since the lion-headed man intends to do other business with him, whether it can be done or not, Zhou Tian will not mind hearing about it.
It's just that Zhou Tian didn't take the lion-headed man's words too seriously at that time, but as soon as the other party spoke, he 'scared' Zhou Tian.
"Human trafficking, you can't do it?"
"Population?" Zhou Tian was really frightened by the lion-headed man's words, after all, although the Orc Empire does not prohibit human trafficking, it is only forbidden for nobles to do this kind of thing, in fact, if anyone really wants to do this kind of business in the Orc Empire, it is good to have the strength, but not the strength to move an orc, and then it will be considered good luck not to be torn apart by the orcs in the village where they are located.
Of course, no matter how fierce the orcs are, they can't stop those slave traders who act for profit, and for this reason, the orc empire has always been the hardest hit area for human trafficking.
According to the situation of the Orc Empire, there is no such thing as a human trafficking business, which is not worth making a fuss about. But the problem at the moment is that the other party actually came over to invite Zhou Tian to do this kind of business together, and it was still an incumbent officer who spoke, facing this situation, Zhou Tian must be a little difficult to accept.
But regardless of whether Zhou Tian can accept it or not, since the lion-headed man ran over and said that to Zhou Tian, then he must be ready to take action, whether Zhou Tian intends to cooperate with him or not, his own thoughts The lion-headed man must still say it at this time.
"As long as you can afford to pay for it, I can sell you the soldiers of the Thirteenth Legion. Although there are not many female orcs, the soldiers in our thirteenth legion have very good physical fitness, and the proportion of warriors who can fight is extremely high, I believe that according to the situation of your territory, adding some slaves should be beneficial to the development of your territory!"
Although he knew that there must be a reason for the other party to say that, after listening to his words, Zhou Tian still couldn't help but ask: "Do you know what you're talking about?
It's no wonder that Zhou Tian behaved like that, but the words that the lion-headed man said at that time were too 'scary'.
Selling orcs is not unusual, after all, the situation of the orc empire is there, not to mention the serious infighting among the nobles in the upper echelons, and they don't have the heart to care about the life and death of those orc civilians. Even those nobles really want to take care of those civilians, and according to the situation of the orc empire, it is almost impossible to ensure the food and clothing of all orcs.
Zhou Tian relied on the ability of the Ten Thousand Realms Supermarket, taking advantage of the price difference between the two realms to continuously supplement the required consumption with food from another world. Therefore, in the end, it will be able to maintain the needs of the orcs under his command, otherwise according to the stomach of the orcs, coupled with their limited food output, if it is really managed like other countries, it will not take long at all, and the orc empire will inevitably be in civil strife.
So although it seems a little unsatisfactory, the actual way the Orc Empire was governed at that time still had its reason for existence.
Waging wars to weaken neighbors and alleviate demographic pressures, while slavers were allowed to plunder their own kingdom in order to reduce the number of orc civilians. Moreover, although the life of the orc slaves outside is not very good, no matter what, no matter how bad they are, they are still alive, if they are really allowed to develop freely in the orc empire, then I don't know how many people will starve to death.
Zhou Tian didn't think about those problems before, but after sitting in his position at that time, it was inevitable that Zhou Tian had his own ideas about the situation in the Orc Empire, and for some of the decisions of Emperor Beamon, Zhou Tian, who was originally unacceptable, now has slowly understood something.
It was precisely because Zhou Tian had his own views on the situation of the Orc Empire that Zhou Tian was a little unacceptable to the cooperation proposed by the lion-headed man at that time.
