Chapter 94: Build the highway to the door of the orc clan

Two days later, Xu Yi, Steele, Yanis, and the ten elves they had picked out before appeared in a small town outside the Black Rice Wasteland.

The town, called Zamora, was also built on the banks of the Sandy River and is the closest human town near the Black Rice Plateau.

Although humans now rule almost the entire Sainz continent, the other races have not completely disappeared, among which the orcs retain the strongest strength.

Although it is impossible to pose any threat to human forces, it can still control a land of its own.

Of course, the Black Rice Wasteland is really of little value to the humans on the Sainz continent, because this wasteland is really a wasteland, and there is not even a piece of land that can be cultivated, and no human country will come to this orc race to compete for such a barren land.

Although the orcs don't know magic, most of them are physically strong and have extremely strong individual combat effectiveness, so if they really want to seize the living space of the orcs and force the orcs and humans to fight hard, the loss will definitely not be small.

Such a loss-making business, of course, will not be done by humans.

As soon as Xu Yi and the others entered this town, which was only two streets in total and less than two hundred meters from east to west, President Cruise of the Amrley Chamber of Commerce and President Resa of the Reekton Chamber of Commerce, who had been waiting here for a long time, discovered them and immediately greeted them.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. "Xu Yi's apologies, of course, are mainly addressed to President Relsa.

President Resa has a stout physique, and his smile is like a bell ringing, and he is very heroic.

"Haha, nothing. We've just arrived and we're sorting out the fleet. When President Xu arrives, we will prepare to leave together. President Resa nodded to Steele beside Xu Yi, and his gaze immediately fell on Yanis and the other ten elves behind Xu Yi. He frowned slightly. "President Xu, are these elves going with you?"

If you say that you have seen the most elves in Bangta City, before Xu Yi, it was definitely this Resa president.

Because the Renekton Chamber of Commerce has been doing business with the orc tribe in the Black Rice Wasteland, President Resa often comes to the Black Rice Wasteland, and even becomes a guest of honor of the Orc Tribe, in the Orc Tribe, he has seen the elves a few times.

But because of this, he knows better than anyone. The relationship between the orcs and elves is very bad.

Even if it doesn't get to the point where you start fighting as soon as you meet, it will definitely spark everywhere, and you can't even communicate normally.

Xu Yi told him that he wanted to follow his caravan to the orc tribe in the Black Rice Wasteland, but he didn't pay much attention to it, and readily agreed.

Now he found out that Xu Yi even wanted to take the elves with him, which was very problematic.

Xu Yi naturally saw President Relsa's concerns, and said with a smile: "President Relsa, please don't worry, when you reach the territory of the orc tribe, these elf tribes will temporarily use the shadow technique to become invisible. It doesn't happen until it is necessary. ”

"That's fine. ”

President Resa nodded, and couldn't help but glance at Xu Yi more, with some surprise in his eyes.

This President Xu was able to let a full eleven elves be his bodyguards. Sure enough, as rumored, it has a special relationship with the elven tribe in the Falling Rain Forest.

He didn't know that he had misunderstood.

After President Relsa and Xu Yi ended their conversation, President Crews on the side walked over. As soon as he opened his mouth, he complained to Xu Yi: "I said President Xu, there is no road from Bangta City to here. Running here can make me choke enough. You've made me come all the way to it, if it's no good to take it. Then I'm not going to do it. ”

Xu Yi laughed: "You're right, let you come together, I just want to see how this highway connecting Bangta City and the Black Rice Wasteland should be repaired." ”

As soon as the words fell, President Cruise, President Relsa, and Steele looked at Xu Yi with wide eyes.

"Are you kidding, President Xu?" said President Cruise. "What can we do by building such a road, so that those orcs can easily run into our human territory and fool around?"

Xu Yi sighed and shook his head slightly: "President Cruise, you have been working with me for so long, don't you know that I will never do anything beneficial to this person?"

President Cruise frowned and looked at Xu Yi suspiciously: "I know that you don't do anything that is not beneficial, but why can't I see the benefits of building this road?"

Xu Yi looked up at the sky: "Let's talk to you slowly on the way." ”

The Reekton Chamber of Commerce's convoy was huge, with a full thirteen wagons, and judging from the mountains of goods piled up on these wagons, the Reekton Chamber of Commerce probably should be doing more than just doing business with an orc tribe this time.

And the relationship between the orcs and humans is not very harmonious, and if such a caravan just walks on the territory of the orcs so rashly, then the possibility of encountering it will be extremely high.

As a result, the Renekton Chamber of Commerce was different from most of the chambers in Bonta City, and set up a chamber escort team for this purpose, and hired a group of mercenaries as convoy guards.

After Xu Yi got into the carriage, he glanced at the mercenaries guarding the convoy outside the window, and couldn't help but admire: "Just from the appearance, you know that these guards are all veteran warriors who have experienced a hundred battles. President Relsa, if the escort team of your Chamber of Commerce is pulled out, I am afraid it will not be much worse than the regular army of the kingdom. ”

President Resa smiled proudly and said, "Actually, these guards are veterans who have retired from the kingdom's army, and each of them has extremely rich combat experience. I dare say that as long as they are equipped with the same equipment as the Kingdom Army, their squad will definitely be able to destroy two squadrons of the Kingdom Army. ”

"No wonder your Chamber of Commerce has been doing business in the Black Rice Wasteland for so long, but there have never been any problems. Xu also praised.

"There was never a problem, it must have been a lie. President Resa laughed. "There are hundreds of orc tribes in this Black Rice Wasteland, large and small, although our Chamber of Commerce has opened up the relationship between most of these orc tribes, there are always orcs who are not long-eyed and will come to the door. We don't always be able to stop it, as just four months ago, a convoy of people came here and was robbed by an unknown orc tribe. Fortunately, those orcs were smart enough to only grab the goods and not hurt anyone, otherwise we would have suffered a lot of losses. ”

"Only grab the goods, don't hurt people?" Xu was also a little strange. "Do the orcs know the rules so well?"

"Don't they understand?" said President Resa with a cold snort, "In the beginning, these orcs would also hurt and even kill people when they robbed, but every time this happened, I would ask the kingdom army stationed here to conduct a bloodbath on the robbing orc tribes. After a few more times, these orcs will understand the rules. In the future, even if they rob again, they will only target the goods and dare not hurt people. Even if they sometimes take people away, at most they have to ask for a ransom, and if they really want to kill people, they don't have that much courage. ”

Xu Yi was even more strange: "Since you don't dare to kill, don't you need to pay them a ransom?"

"Well......" President Resa chuckled dryly. "That's the rule, right? As long as the orcs don't kill people casually, the kingdom's army won't kill people casually. If we don't pay the ransom, the orcs won't kill, but they won't let them go. You let the guys in the Chamber of Commerce be locked up in the orc tribe for so long, and for a long time, even if you rescue them, you are afraid that they will be useless. ”

Xu Yi thought for a moment and asked, "In other words, in fact, this kind of rule is not only for the orcs, but also for you?"

"Well, that's pretty much it. The human caravans that now do business with the orcs in the Black Rice Wasteland will abide by this default rule. Anyway, we make a lot of money doing business with the orcs, and the occasional little blood is nothing. ”

Xu Yi couldn't help but shake his head, thinking that the rules tacitly accepted by the orc race and the human caravan were really full of barbaric and backward atmosphere, no wonder the orc race was still looked down upon by humans and other races, it was really because their civilization was too low.

Just as Xu Yi was about to reconsider his strategy for negotiating with the orc tribe when he arrived at them, President Cruise approached.

"President Xu, now you can tell me what good is it to build a road connecting Bangta City to the Black Rice Wasteland?"

Xu Yi glanced at him and pointed at President Relsa: "If nothing else, at least it will definitely be good for President Relsa." ”

"Of course. Resa laughed. "If there is a road, it will take too little effort for our caravan to go back and forth. President Cruise, in fact, even if President Xu doesn't say it, I'm already thinking about whether to ask you to build this road for our Chamber of Commerce. It's not too far, just get to the town of Samara. “

"Isn't that far?" said President Cruise's eyes. "I'm afraid it's close to a hundred kilometers from Bunta City to Samara Town, right? Even if it is as wide as the rainy road, it will cost at least nearly 300,000 gold coins. Are you willing to pay so much?"

"300,000 gold coins...... It's not particularly much, if you build a toll station, even if you can't recover the capital, you won't lose much. President Resa thought for a moment, and suddenly slapped her thigh hard. "Alright, that's it, President Cruise, when I get back to Bunta City, I'll talk to you about how to build this road, what do you think?"

President Cruise and Xu Yi were stunned, it was originally Xu Yi who asked President Cruise to discuss how to build the road, but now it suddenly became President Resa who decided to build the road?

Xu Yi thought for a moment and said with a smile: "President Relsa, it's a good thing that you can recognize the benefits of building roads. But when I talk about building a road, it is not enough to build it directly to the Black Rice Wasteland, and it is not enough to build it to the small town of Samara. ”

This time, President Cruise and President Resa looked at Xu Yi in surprise.

This guy actually wants to build a road to the door of the orcs?

He's crazy!(To be continued......)
