"Whoosh-"

A fireball glowing with a fiery red glow and a pale cyan hue enveloped around it drew a bright trajectory in the night sky and landed on the tundra about a kilometer in front of the camp.

"Boom-"

As soon as the fireball hit the ground, it immediately erupted with a violent explosion and a strong light that shone across the sky.

Along with the light and the sound of explosions, there was a faint mournful howl of wolves.

If you look closely, you can also find that in the distant firelight, countless figures flew up at the same time, and then scattered and exploded.

"These werewolves put on such a dense formation, but it saved us a lot of effort. Hogan put down the telescope in his hand and nodded in satisfaction.

Baron Franklin on the side looked up at the flickering magic cannonballs in the sky that kept flying into the distance, and then turned his head to look at the guards of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce who were operating all kinds of military magic machinery on the periphery of the camp, and were silent.

This operation was originally scheduled before departure, so of course he knew that those werewolves from the Wolf werewolf tribe would come to attack the caravan tonight.

Because this was originally his warning to Hogan.

These orcs living in the northern tundra, the first reaction when encountering a human caravan is definitely not to communicate or do business with each other, but to rob.

When they saw the large amount of daily necessities that the caravan of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had brought to them, Baron Franklin could be sure that they would definitely not let go of this piece of fat that was sent to the door.

At that time, the werewolf only chased them away to choose another good time to rob them.

For this reason, Hogan also asked Baron Franklin, since they were a big fat piece of fragrant meat compared to these orcs. So why not just pretend to say yes to do business with them. Invite them into the tribe. Wouldn't it be easier to rob again?

Baron Franklin's answer was simple.

First, those werewolves at the time did not necessarily have this IQ.

Second, even if they have this IQ, they may not have the guts.

If the human caravan is attacked in the wilderness of the northern tundra, the Maro Empire will be powerless even if it wants to, because this tundra originally belongs to the sphere of influence controlled by the orc race, and if there is not enough reason to support it, the Maro Empire will never use such a large amount of manpower and material resources to deal with this kind of thing.

What's more, the Maro Empire has long issued a warning to all human caravans within its borders. Don't trespass into the territory of the orc clan, because this is completely equivalent to a sheep in the mouth of a tiger.

Now that their caravan has broken in by itself, the official Maro Empire will naturally not care about it without the support of sufficient reasons.

And if the werewolves invited them into the tribe to attack and rob, it would be tantamount to giving the Maro Empire an unavoidable reason.

The human caravan entered an orc tribe and disappeared, including an Imperial nobleman, so it was impossible to fool it in any way.

The orcs are not all stupid, it is estimated that the northern tundra is within the control of the orcs, and they will not do such a thing to provoke the officials of the Maro Empire to make trouble for themselves.

So as it is now, attack in the wilderness at night. is the best choice.

But these werewolves of the Wolf werewolf tribe probably didn't think of it anyway. This time, they actually kicked an iron plate, and it was a trap set for them.

"Director Hogan, I'm afraid the military magic machines that your Chamber of Commerce sold to the Imperial Military Department are not so strong......" Baron Franklin suddenly asked, staring at the battlefield where the werewolves were being slaughtered unilaterally.

Hogan glanced over his head and replied with a smile: "Of course, the latest military magic machinery is prioritized for the Chamber of Commerce Escort, there is no doubt about this. ”

"And are these the most advanced and powerful military magic machines your New Flying Chamber of Commerce has right now?" Baron Franklin asked again.

This time, Hogan was smiling and silent.

Seeing the smile on his face, Baron Franklin immediately understood.

What he saw was definitely not the most powerful military magic machine that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce possessed, but even what he saw in front of him was already extremely shocking.

The northern tundra of the Maro Empire has always been controlled by the orcs, and this fact has always made many people feel quite dissatisfied within the Maro Empire.

After all, it is unreasonable that there is a large area within such a large empire that is not under its control.

However, the reason why the Maro Empire has not taken this piece of land back from the orcs is that in addition to the fact that this land is not very valuable, there is another equally important reason, that is, the price to pay to regain this land is too huge.

The orcs are naturally much stronger than humans, and this group of orcs lives in the northern tundra, so they are extremely fierce by the harsh environment.

Although the total number of all the orcs on the northern tundra is about 500,000, more than half of these 500,000 orcs can immediately become powerful orc warriors.

According to the estimates of the imperial military, if you want to completely defeat these orcs, the empire must at least send an army of 300,000 or even more than 300,000.

This was a difficult operation for the Imperial military to bear.

Aside from the previous war with the Candela Empire, at no other time had the Maro Empire mobilized an army of this magnitude.

Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, the Maro Empire can only let this land continue to be controlled by the orc tribe in the end.

And now Baron Franklin witnessed the New Flying Chamber of Commerce escort team relying on super military magic machinery, just relying on the escort team of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, which was less than three hundred people, to easily crush the werewolves of the Wolf werewolf tribe that attacked at night, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

If the Imperial military could all be equipped with such powerful military magic machines, wouldn't it be easy to drive these orcs away and retake the northern tundra?

Of course. Baron Franklin was not a member of the military. So the thought just spun around in his head. and was crushed.

After the battle lasted for a while, the magic call box that Hogan had been holding in his left hand suddenly flashed a little red.

Hogan quickly connected.

"Captain Alston, what's the matter?"

"Director Hogan, those werewolves have begun to retreat, do you need to pursue them?"

"No, we don't have enough manpower, so let's stop chasing and let them escape. Captain Alston. And I have to work hard for you to continue to be vigilant. ”

"Well said. ”

After hanging up the magic call box, Hogan stretched and smiled at Baron Franklin, "Alright, Lord Baron, it's okay now, we can finally get a good night's sleep." ”

Baron Franklin looked at the pitch-black wasteland in the distance, and thought to himself that with the usual ferocity of the werewolves, they were forced to retreat after only ten minutes of fighting, which showed how terrible the blow they had received.

Even the werewolf clan can only choose to flee in the face of this kind of attack, what if it is the imperial army instead?

###

Early the next morning. The caravan set out again, but did not continue its march deep into the northern tundra. Instead, they turned back directly to the location of the Wolf werewolf tribe.

This time, instead of being stopped outside the tribe, the caravan was invited directly into the tribe, and met the patriarch of the Wolf werewolf tribe by the way.

Under the appearance of the five orcs from the Black Rice Wasteland sent by Xu Yi and Hogan's detailed explanation, the Wolf werewolf tribe finally let down its guard against humans and agreed to carry out preliminary cooperation with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

In the end, the two sides signed an agreement, the Wolf Werewolf Tribe will first provide 1,000 prime-aged werewolves to the Stratholme Magical Industrial Base represented by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce as employees, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will not only pay the 1,000 werewolf employees a monthly salary of at least 5 gold coins, but also send a batch of daily necessities to the Wolf Werewolf Tribe every month.

At the same time, the Wolf Werewolf Tribe will also help the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to get in touch with other orc tribes in the northern tundra, and strive to achieve more cooperation between the two sides.

For Wolf Werewolf Tribe Rai, this is undoubtedly a very novel experience.

Because before that, human merchants were completely synonymous with liars in their eyes.

But this time, these human merchants not only did not use the large number of high-quality living materials in their hands to ask them for all kinds of precious items that they had worked so hard to get, but even took the initiative to provide them with them.

And all they need is some middle-aged labor.

The most surprising thing for the werewolves is that these human merchants actually say that they want to pay the hired werewolves! and it is as much as five gold coins a month!

This surprised the werewolves of the Wolf Werewolf tribe, for the human merchants had shown so much force that night that they had no intention of resisting.

Under normal circumstances, these human traders are more than capable of taking over their entire tribe and making all the werewolves in the tribe directly slaves and work for them for free.

This was the fixed pattern of human and orc relations for thousands of years, and it has never changed.

But now, this group of human businessmen actually said that they would pay them!

It's ridiculous!

However, whether these werewolves believe it or not, first of all, they have no ability to resist, and secondly, five orc compatriots who claim to be from the Black Rice Wasteland keep describing to them the attitude of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce towards the orcs in those countries in the southwest corner of the continent, which makes them somewhat believe that some of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce do have this sincerity, so in the end they still obediently signed this agreement.

And with the example of the Wolf Werewolf Tribe, the largest orc tribe in the northern tundra, Hogan's next actions on the northern tundra became extremely smooth.

In just three months, Hogan signed an employment agreement with twenty-three orc tribes in the northern tundra on behalf of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and preliminarily determined the quota of 10,000 orc employees.

As a result, the most difficult manpower problem has been initially solved.

At this time, it happened to be spring flowers, and countless large freight magic locomotives loaded with a large amount of material resources were constantly coming from the south.

The Stratholme Magical Industrial Base is finally ready and has begun to enter the stage of full construction. (To be continued......)
