Chapter 1 The Canyon Deal

End of April 1004 AH

Falling cold mountains, among the lofty mountains.

The canyon stretches for fifty miles, the two sides are connected with mountains, the heavy rocks are stacked, there is no gap, if it is not the meridian, the sun and the moon are not seen. Within a few hundred miles, this is the only road between the Frost Plateau and the Fertile Moon Plain.

In the middle of the canyon, the mercenaries chiseled a boulder on the cliff and engraved the words [Muyun Camp]. Mu Yun is kind to the orcs and has a certain prestige. The nine clans, which value honor, will not go to war without declaring it.

A humble camp that was built in a few days.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed!

Mu Yun sat by the campfire in front of the tent to warm up and barbecue, and the mercenaries were fully armed, wearing leather armor and cloaks, wearing goggles and masks, and carrying muskets or short crossbows, which were distributed around to defend against the attacks of demonic beasts.

Ying'er opened the lid of the pot on the bonfire, and a hot aroma wafted out.

"The delicious mutton soup is good!"

"Which of you wants!"

Ying'er held the big spoon and stirred it a few times, serving a bowl for everyone. Wild mutton bone mutton, only add a little salt, plus some wild vegetables, light and fresh, mellow and fragrant, in a cold environment, people feel comfortable.

The mercenaries on the side have a share.

Mu Yun invited three or four hundred mercenaries, and the daily mercenary cost reached several gold coins, so simple and easy, the gold owner and generous work, the mercenaries rarely encountered once, but it made the mercenaries very happy.

Meng Hu drank a bowl of mutton soup, and his whole body was comfortable, very comfortable, but he was a little unhappy in his heart. In order to take care of the snow wolf mercenaries, this mission is paid according to double the commission of high-risk tasks!

As a result, not a single battle has been fought for several days, and every day there is good wine and good meat, what is this like?

In fact, it was not only Meng Hu who hoped that the orcs would come sooner, Qin Yue's beautiful eyes were burning, and he agreed to be full of eager anticipation.

It's going to be a deal like never before!

If the inertia formed for thousands of years can be reversed and the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two races can be reversed, it will be an epoch-making event and will definitely be written into the history of the Northland Federation!

What an honor to witness history!

Qin Yue had another layer of deep anxiety.

Orcs are unruly, can they really be honest and obedient?

Can the Terran society approve of this kind of behavior, and how will the world view and evaluate it?

The hatred between the two races is too deep, and the complex grievances in it cannot be explained in a few words!

When the news of trading with the orcs spreads, no matter whether Mu Yun's approach is right or wrong, whether it can bring benefits or not, there will definitely be criticism and doubts...... How to deal with the pressure caused by public opinion?

It's an adventure!

Qin Yue is Mu Yun's assistant, some problems have to be thought about early, if after the incident, it will be too late to think about countermeasures.

Suddenly, a loud roar interrupted the train of thought!

"It's a good thing that Ben Du arrived, otherwise there would have been a big disaster!"

Someone has set up camp in the Falling Cold Mountains, and the news that a large stream of resources has been transported in has already penetrated the outpost army. When the officer got the information, he immediately led more than a hundred light cavalry to come, and at a glance, it turned out to be true!

Meng Hu said angrily: "These grandsons have a lot of, I'll take care of it!"

The mercenaries blocked the camp, and one of them shouted, "Who the are you!

A burly and tall middle-aged man, with a beard all over his face, his eyes were round and angry, and he was furious and roared.

"Who am I? I am Li Bao, the commander-in-chief of the Outpost Overseer!"

"Do you know what you're doing ridiculously!"

"With so much food and supplies here, don't you know the consequences? Stupid thing, it's all shit in your head? Where is the commander of the outpost, get out of here immediately!"

A senior officer of the outpost army ran out in embarrassment and explained in a panic: "General ...... Commander-in-Chief!"

Li Bao went up and whipped it over, and shouted in a fierce voice: "You are derelict in your duties! Do you want to die?"

Li Bao was the commander-in-chief of the Overseer, in charge of the defense line of the Luohan Mountains, and was in charge of the 80,000 outposts for fifteen years, which was a very prestigious border general. As for the officers who were beaten, they were just the commanders of a base of the outpost army, and there were more than a dozen similar commanders, and they didn't have a temper at all.

The outpost commander stood up in a panic, "He...... He's a Mithril nobleman, and there's a warrant from the White City Lord!"

Li Bao kicked angrily, then grabbed it, slammed it on the ground again, pulled out a waist knife, and made a gesture to slash.

"Spare your life!"

"Spare your life!"

Li Bao's methods of governing the army were strict, and the unlucky commander did not expect that he would actually attract his top boss, and this time it was over, Mu Yun was going to kill him miserably! Losing his military position is small, and if he doesn't even lose his life!

"We'll deal with it later!" Li Bao said to the elite rangers around him: "The whole army obeys the order, get the things away immediately, and destroy the camp directly!"

Meng Hu glared at him: "Birdman, you know a fart!"

Mu Ying'er saw that a fierce general was quite unreasonable, and she was also indignant and said: "Why are you beating people! It's too much!"

"Excessive?" Li Bao saw the little girl in the crowd, and his anger was about to explode, and he roared: "Do you think it's a family play? Half-orcs mean disaster, if a village is destroyed, if someone is killed, you are the culprit! a murderer!

Meng Hu said angrily: "Shut up!"

Mu Yun walked out, glanced at Li Bao, and explained slowly: "Your Excellency is the Li Bao overseer of the outpost army?" Your worries are understandable, but the situation is different, we have the permission of the city lord, and I can guarantee that the orcs will not take the opportunity to invade the south." ”

Li Bao didn't look down on Mu Yun at all, "What does a guy who hasn't grown any hair know, what qualifications do you have!"

Mu Yun explained in a good voice, but he didn't appreciate it!

Qin Yue couldn't help but stand up, and raised her eyebrows and said, "Hey, bearded, do you know who he is?"

"I don't want to know, I've been stationed on the defense line of the Luohan Mountain Range for fifteen years, and I've seen countless orcs, what I say!" Li Bao didn't give a few people more chance to talk, and shouted directly: "Do it!"

Meng Hu smashed a boulder, the sky collapsed like a loud sound, the shocked soldier was stunned, he roared like an angry King Kong: "Which of you dare!"

The sentinel army and the snow wolf mercenary drew their weapons, and the two sides were tense, and neither of them was willing to give in!

Li Bao sneered: "Okay, since that's the case, then don't blame Bendu!

The cavalry set up a charge, and a battle was about to begin!

"Alarm!" the outpost sounded the alarm, and a sentry hurriedly ran over, "Orcs have been found at the outpost!"

Li Bao's expression changed drastically and asked, "How many?"

The sentry swallowed and said, "Quantity...... Amazing!"

Li Bao muttered, "Oh no, the orcs have really been lured!"

The half-orcs were very fast, and the wolf cavalry went first, crossing more than ten miles of canyons, and was the first to appear in the field of vision.

The wolf cavalry is coming!

Li Bao changed color, and the soldiers were even more frightened!

What kind of goods are the wolf cavalry, the sentinel will not not understand!

The fierce wolf rode quickly closer, and not far from the wolf cavalry, a large group of half-orcs were running wildly, and the scene alone was enough to make people shudder. The mercenaries, who are not afraid of heaven and earth, have raised their hearts at this moment.

The half-orc banners are different, the tribal clans are different, and they keep a distance from each other, because the half-orcs are not united, and it is not uncommon for clans to fight each other. As a result, the atmosphere at the scene became a little weird, and the half-orcs, 2,000 meters away, suddenly stopped.

In the canyon, the cold wind and tigers roared, and the two sides confronted each other in silence.

"There won't be an ambush for humans, will it?"

In case it is a trap of the human race, the loss of the orcs will be great.

Among the orcs here, there are quite a few tribal elites and tribal leaders. Just as the orc hesitated, a half-orc came out alone, riding the Wind Wolf King, covered in reddish-brown body hair, mighty and imposing, carrying a golden war spear on his back.

"Grom, you're too slow!"

"It's a long way to go, and it's already fast. ”

Mu Yun picked up a prepared horn and shouted in half-orc language, "Hey, did you bring everything?"

Grom left the wolf, and the burly figure stood in front of Mu Yun, like an adult and a child, Mu Yun's height was barely to his chest, and his body shape was more than one grade worse. Grom is an earth martial artist, and his combat power is far ten times better than Mu Yun, but in the face of Mu Yun, Grom did not show a trace of contempt.

In the entire canyon, there are only two people in the eye.

One sits by the campfire drinking in the wind.

The other is Mu Yun standing in front of him.

One is the strong.

One is the brave.

The weight of Muyun is more above the sleep in the wind!

"Warriors of our people, who speak their word and never break their word, what about you?"

Although the half-orc language is incomprehensible to everyone, the half-orc voice is like a roaring lion, which makes people's hearts tremble sharply, and they can't help but pinch it. Mu Yun didn't speak, just stretched out his thumb and pointed behind his back.

Grom glanced at the camp, nodded and turned back and shouted, "Take it out!"

A pocket is thrown out.

Qin Yue opened a pocket and took out a handful of gravel, each with a shiny silver-white color on it, Qin Yue showed a happy color, turned back to Mu Yun and said, "The quality is good, the purity is very high, good mine!"

Mu Yun nodded with satisfaction: "The camp has been opened, you can freely exchange what you want, except for Mithril ore, other metals, herbs, and materials are all okay!"

Grom spread the word.

The orcs looked at each other, all of them skeptical.

This pair of orcs is also an attempt, and the half-orcs are full of wariness, because history tells them that the human race is very cunning and insidious. If it weren't for Mu Yun standing here and Grom's support, the orcs wouldn't believe anything the Terrans said.

Grom has no restrictions and allows orcs to exchange freely.

Ginkgo wine, bread, tobacco, jam, chili, cooking oil, pots and pans, toiletries, refined fire copper...... Mu Yun asked the mercenaries to release everything, and the half-orcs were stunned!

Mu Yun stood in the center of the orcs and introduced: "Whatever you want, just come and change it!"

"I'll change the salt!"

An orc holds up a bag of Mithril ore.

Meng Hu brought it over and immediately put it on the weighing tool, 30 catties of Mithril Mine. The ore is treated simply. The purity of this bag of ore is quite high, it is estimated that it can refine three or four kilograms of Mithril, and a coin weighs about 5 grams, which can make hundreds of Mithril coins.

A small bag of ore!

It's almost enough for ordinary people to eat for a lifetime!

Mu Yun ordered: "Give 5 bags of salt!"

"Okay!"

The mercenary came with 5 bags of salt, each bag weighed 10 catties, and the salt was not valuable. Although it is a high-grade refined salt, it adds up to less than 5 silver coins in total.

The orcs couldn't wait to open it, thin and snow-white, crystal clear...... Terran salt!

What a human salt!

There is a severe shortage of salt on the plateau, and a few inferior salt wells are often subject to fierce competition, and the rough plateau salt is not suitable for ordinary orcs, let alone the refined salt produced by the human race!

The orcs were elated and about to leave.

"Warriors and so on!"

"What are you doing!" The orc carried the salt in one hand and the waist knife in the other, and said vigilantly: "Those broken ores were given to you, and the salt has been exchanged for me, so you can't go back!"

"Misunderstanding!" Mu Yun gave Meng Hu a look, Meng Hu turned out a crimson shield in a large pile of things, Mu Yun took the shield, handed it to the orc and said, "You are the first half-orc warrior to come to trade, give a gift of a bronze shield of essence fire!"

"Roar!"

Orcs are red-eyed!

A shield forged from refined fire copper!

The smelting level of the half-orcs is very low, and although they have mastered the method of making refined copper, the purity is definitely not as good as that of the human race. This shield is completely forged with refined fire copper, and true qi is injected into it, the conductivity is very high, and it is very huge, suitable for the body shape of a half-beast, it is simply tailor-made!

The orc returned to the group with salt and a shield.

The chief examined the salt, and was so excited that he immediately grabbed a handful and put it in his mouth, and his eyes widened.

Ancestors are on top!

This is the best and purest Terran salt!

Mu Yun saw that it was almost over, and immediately climbed high and shouted: "Now, who wants to change!"

In an instant, the entire canyon exploded.
