Chapter 22: The Competition
In the past thousand years, the Rossi Continent has discovered a giant ancient teleportation array leading to the wild west coast, so trade with the wild west has begun to become frequent, and he has gradually learned the manufacturing technology of the goblin kingdom and the elven kingdom, and even has a faint momentum of surpassing it. In the close contact with the three countries on the entire west coast, the relationship between the Rossi Continent is getting better and better, and the degree of closeness is far better than that of the races in the wild east.
It is precisely because of the appearance of these powerful bronze weapons that the various forces in the entire Rossi Continent have begun to further evolve and divide. Except for the Snail Horn, which is still adhering to the inheritance of ancient civilization and refuses to accept the "immersion" of powerful bronze weapons, other forces have begun to develop powerful weapons.
Although bronze weapons have developed rapidly, due to the constraints of the number of bronze and the source of ore, many forces still maintain a strong ancient civilization inheritance and combat formation, and even many places are still in a dominant position.
Now, in front of Hu Menglin were two groups of young people, one was the local golden elf and beast elf boy, and the other was the long-mouthed fierce pig man, the violent bear man, and the shadow leopard man from Rossi City. What the two sides are arguing about is whether the ancient civilization is powerful or the bronze is powerful!
The man who took the lead in Rossi City was blonde and golden-crowned, obviously with the blood of a lion, and his handsome face revealed a stubbornness.
Due to the large difference in language, Hu Menglin only understood a few elven words, and he was not even sure if it was the meaning of the Wild East Coast elves.
Jack Waterfowl, who led Hu Menglin and his party, explained to Hu Menglin flatteringly. Hu Menglin and his entourage are in vain, it turns out that the two sides have been arguing for a long time, and that lion man is Lionheart, the second prince of the Rossi Kingdom. And the golden elf took the lead and was Kim Young-hwan, the eldest son of the golden elf patriarch!
Hu Menglin looked at it for a while, but he didn't see any bronze weapons! He had always wondered, to what extent had the bronze civilization in the Rossi Continent developed? Is the legendary bronze cannon the same as those stupid guys in the underworld who could only fire solid cannonballs?
Thinking of this, Hu Menglin's eyes lit up, and he said to Jack's waterfowl, "You help me tell them that I have a way to figure out which of these two civilizations is superior, why don't you try it?"
The two groups had long seen the group of visitors around them who were dressed in bright clothes and behaved like strangers, and now they heard that there was a way to tell the winner, and they were very interested.
Hu Menglin proposed that since the two sides believe that their respective civilizations are powerful, then take out the most powerful martial arts or weapons and find a place to try fairly!
After communicating several times, Hu Menglin realized that it was not that the two sides did not want to compare, but that there was no way to compare. The golden elves are good at controlling golden arrows, the beast elves are good at melee combat, and the most advanced bronze weapons can blow up the opponent three or four thousand meters away, but once they get close, they have no power to fight back!
Obviously, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, but if it is closely integrated, it is possible to build an all-round army, and these two groups of "rich and noble people" do not even understand this truth? If Hu Menglin thinks about it carefully, he understands that he will definitely still have the right to make trouble! If he confirms the dominant position of his own civilization, those in power will certainly increase their power greatly!
Thinking of this, Hu Menglin's eyes rolled, his purpose was to see the strength of the two sides, but he was not here to manage the internal disputes of others!
"I think so, find a demonic beast with a large population, and then within the specified time, who has the fewest casualties and the greatest battle results, which civilization is strong?" Hu Menglin's suggestion can be regarded as a fair approach. No matter what kind of civilization it is, the first priority it faces is to defend its homeland, and the powerful demonic beasts are still one of the most important enemies in the wilderness in the coming period!
Jin Yinghuan has no opinion, there are thirty golden elves and twenty beast elves standing behind him, although there is no cooperation from flower elves and forest elves, but there is no problem at all to deal with ordinary beasts.
And the Lionheart Prince thought for a moment, there were forty-five people standing behind him, twenty of them were equipped with "Flame Guns", twenty of them were carrying four "Bronze Cannons", and the remaining five were extremely skilled in martial arts and relatively strong in defense, so it should not be a big problem to deal with a large herd of beasts.
Both sides agreed to compete on the "Poison Island" at the southern end, where some powerful poisons appeared at some unknown time, and gradually entrenched the entire island, and there was a violent conflict with the local golden elves. Later, the strong man of the horn of the snail fought a big battle with it, and finally agreed that the island was the boundary, and the poison was not allowed to leave the island, and the two sides allowed the strong below the super level to test each other, and once they entered the island, the dead and wounded could not retaliate.
At the beginning, there were constantly elves of various races fighting under the banner of recovering lost lands, and there were often demon hunting groups on the land of Rossi to hunt on Poison Island, killing and wounding countless people.
Hundreds of years have passed, and everyone has tacitly accepted the fact that these poisons from nowhere have taken over the island. A small number of demon hunters went to the island again, just to conduct trials or collect the medicine sacs or skins and bones of poisonous demon beasts. Generally speaking, the poison strength on this island is generally at the super-order, seventh-order, fifth-and-sixth-order level, and basically you can't see third- or fourth-order demonic beasts.
After researching the location, more than 100 people began to shop for supplies everywhere. Hu Menglin and his party had nothing to do anyway, and they also followed them everywhere to observe the specialties of the Rossi Continent.
The level of civilization here is much higher than that of the Orcs in the Wild East, and even more prosperous than the Demon Realm, after all, there are no frequent volcanic earthquakes and other disasters here.
Along the way, Hu Menglin paid special attention to the bones and skins of monsters. It's not expensive, it's even cheaper than the price in the Ten Leagues of the Savage Orcs, but if you add the price of transportation, it is estimated that it will definitely be much more expensive than buying in the Ten Leagues of the Orcs!
And the seeds of some plants have never been seen in the Orc Ten League. The two elves beside Hu Menglin had long been eager to buy all these seeds and bring them back to the Qinglin tribe. With a wave of his hand, Kun Huadong took out some amethyst coins and bone coins, gold ingots, gold coins, bronze coins, silver coins, and so on. There are both otherworldly currencies and coins that Hu Menglin received from the Sheep Men of the Hanging Island.
After inquiry, Hu Menglin was surprised, the price of the bronze coin was actually a hundred times that of the amethyst coin, which means that there is a lot of wealth in the Hu Menglin tribe now, and it is increasing year by year. As for gold coins, gold ingots, etc., they are about the same as amethyst coins, but the price of silver coins is not very high, and they are about the same as silver crystal coins in the demon world!
At first, Rouge Ma was not familiar with the rules of buying and selling here, and because there were no amethyst coins, gold crystal coins, gold and silver coins that were commonly used here, so he had been suppressing his desire to shop. Now seeing that Hu Menglin took out a large amount of "money" at will, what is it polite, and he rushed into every store he saw with Momo in his hand.
Hu Menglin waved his hand and motioned for others to buy at will, nothing else, there was no shortage of "money" Hu Menglin!
Unlike Hu Menglin's three women, who felt good about everything, Kun Huadong and Ma Wushuang specially selected all kinds of bronze weapons, ores, seeds, magic supplies and other war supplies to procure. The two elves have always been interested in the elven artifacts, seeds, etc.
Hu Menglin looked around, but he didn't see anything. It's not that he has a high vision, from his standpoint, everything that belongs to consumer goods is not needed for Hu Menglin for the time being. And the war-related materials, he didn't like it. For example, that Demon Sunflower Seed, each flower is equivalent to a third- or fourth-order plant demonic beast, what is the use of this? If it is equivalent to a seventh-order strength, it will be different!
Seeing Hu Menglin and his entourage's frenzied purchases, even the Lionheart Prince was a little surprised, even he couldn't buy everything. The entire Snail Horn is the most well-stocked place in the Rossi Continent after Rossi City! There are not only items from the wilderness, but also things from the Demon Realm, the Demon Realm, and the Underworld! Some of them don't even have Rossi City!
However, most places in the entire Rossi Continent are still bartered, and the currency is not too popular, after all, those amethyst coins are from the demon world, bone coins are from the underworld, and gold and silver coins are minted locally, or from the wild west coast. And bronze, as a strategic material, is used to mint copper coins, which is a bit extravagant, and there are no 10,000 pieces in the entire Rossi Continent!
However, these orcs from the Wild East Coast, which is known as the most backward in the Savage World, actually easily took out a few hundred, and it seems that there may be more! Not to mention the number of Amethyst coins that amount to thousands!
What a bunch of rich "barbarians"!
Soon, Prince Lionheart and Kim Young-hwan finished choosing their items, and the group asked Hu Menglin and a group of outsiders to be referees, after all, everyone else will have tendencies!
Hu Menglin happily agreed, wasn't the real reason why he provoked the competition between the two sides to take a look at the overall strength of the Rossi Continent?
I heard that the monster of "Poison Island" was powerful, and Ma Wushuang was going to call others, Hu Menglin stopped him, these people around him, except for Rouge Horse and that Jack Water Bird Man, were not super level in strength, and the rest were super level strength, and they didn't have to worry about those little poisons at all!
The boat sailed on the blue sea, and the two sides began to talk with Hu Menglin. After hearing the identities of the two, Hu Menglin did not hide his origin and identity. Due to the distance between the two continents and the lack of contact, Hu Menglin's name and the two had never heard of it, but they knew a lot about the news that the barbarian orcs had fought many bloody battles with the underworld and won all of them.
Hu Menglin secretly sighed, it is really different regions with different priorities! It seems that in order to win more support for the entire eastern wilderness, it is necessary to establish several liaison stations on the Rossi continent to strengthen communication and publicity!
"Poison Island" is not too far from the Horn Peninsula, separated by only a dozen small islands. When Hu Menglin and his party came to the island, there was already a demon hunting group of several hundred people on this island of about 10,000 square kilometers, ready to hunt in it.
I heard that some people were going to compete, and the excitement of watching them made these people follow. They can't imagine that they have paid a huge price because of their habit of watching lively!
