Chapter 236: Capturing Minotaur Slaves
Two days later, Thunder arrived at the port of the Inland Sea.
A new harbor has been built in a short period of time, including a huge monster-like dockyard, which has been given a new lease of life.
As far as the eye can see, the planks wrap around the beach like a long dark dragon, and the wooden stakes are driven deep into the sea, and there are more than thirty ships docked in the harbor.
Thanks to the excellent performance of the sailors in the battle, as well as the superior benefits of the private army, more people who could not find a job rushed here to try their luck, and under the scolding of some veteran sailors, they stepped onto the deck and got to work on all kinds of logistics chores.
Stay, become a glorious sailor, or leave gloomily, only to remember the memories of retching day and night on the ship.
Not every young man can adapt to the boat, even if the body is very strong, still can not resist the dizziness caused by the constant swaying and jolting of the ship when sailing on the sea, adapt, naturally can be free to walk on the boat as if walking on the ground, if not adapted, then it is difficult to move an inch on the boat.
"Elder, Ellan, is the ship ready?"
Accompanied by Jaston, Thunder arrived at the port in a goblin airboat, and five days earlier, he had Shaun Sr. convey orders to Eld Erlan, and on the other side of the Inland Sea, there was a tribe of minotaurs who had lost almost all of their young adults, and that was Thundering's target.
The Minotaur has many advantages, such as hard-working and great strength, even if it is an elderly Minotaur, it can still easily carry thick wooden beams, can also pull a plow, and can even lift a shovel to open a ditch and reclaim the land.
In cold-blooded terms, the remnants of the minotaurs would be very good slaves and coolies, and they would be more easily enslaved than the young minotaurs.
If you lose the war, you will naturally have to bear the price of defeat, and the imperial province of Dante will fall, and the wheat grown in the entire province will be plundered by the minotaurs, and the wealth will be robbed. The population was slaughtered, and this was the price paid by the province of Dante.
Now, it's the turn of the Minotaurs to pay for their failures.
"The ships are ready, there are no problems with sea trials. The soldiers assembled yesterday afternoon!" Elder puffed out his chest and reported to Lei Ming, not squinting.
This operation will mobilize ten troop carriers, and then ten warships will escort the convoy, and by the way, it will also show its presence in the inland sea. The breeding plan of the purple fish-people is already in the works, and they can start deploying along the coast when the minotaurs on the other side of the sea are wiped out.
There were not many soldiers on the expedition, only 5,000 were mobilized, most of them had battlefield experience, of which 1,000 were elite private soldiers, and then there were 1,000 bear goblins commanded by Juston, a total of 6,000 troops, which was enough to deal with a crippled Minotaur tribe.
"Depart at noon!"
Lei Ming made a plan. The two brothers Elder and Erlan are going to work again, in Lei Ming's thoughts, the main force of this operation is the bear goblin, assisted by elite private soldiers, and then the remaining four thousand militia are basically to meet the world, and then be responsible for tying the minotaur with a rope.
Jaston followed Thunder closely, and behind him stood more bear goblins, standing high enough to take in most of the port. In the Goblin Airboats loading and unloading cargo alone, Jaston saw five.
This port is home to sailors from all over the province, as well as many more young people with dreams and hopes, and is the second most prosperous area after the provincial capital of Eternal Heart Castle.
Think about it more than half a year ago. He had fled in the middle of the night under the threat of robbers, trembling back under the threat of wild wolves, trembling before the gnolls, and now he stood here as a general. Overlooking the crowd that was busy like ants, he immediately set off by boat to destroy a tribe of minotaurs, and the life encounter was really amazing.
Large and small troop carriers were connected on the sea, ten battleships were scattered around the troop carriers, and the white crystal cannons on the batteries were wiped and maintained.
And the news of their expedition has long been circulating in the provinces.
"I heard that this time the lord is in charge himself, and General Justton's bear goblin subordinates are the main force, and they can definitely clean up those minotaurs, but unfortunately, the price of minotaur slaves is too expensive, otherwise it must be a good helper for work, I heard that Lord Sika is going to buy two minotaur slaves. ”
"Master Sika is really rich, I heard that the Minotaur slaves are sold for more than a hundred gold graders, and at this price you can buy an unknown amount of black bread, and you can even go to the goblin merchant to exchange for a lot of millet......"
It was a conversation between commoners, eager to have a minotaur slave to work for themselves, and envious of the wealth of the nobles or the rich.
"The Duke of Bourbon is right, the Minotaurs have invaded our land, so we must give them a little bit of a taste, otherwise it will only show that our human race is weak and can be bullied. ”
"Yes, I've decided to buy a few minotaur slaves, even if I'll let them lick my shoes every day! I'm going to let them have offspring and serve me for future generations, haha. ”
"You're enough, I'm going to buy a few minotaur slaves, but I'm going to let them work, I think I can buy young minotaurs, the black bread tube is full, and they will grow up soon, so that they can do more work, and now that the land is so much and so fertile, I don't think this trade will be a loss. ”
This was a conversation between the minor nobles in the province of Bourbon, who saw part of the Thunder's intentions, but also showed interest in the Minotaur slaves, either to show their status to satisfy their vanity, or to buy the Minotaurs to work because of their hard-working virtues.
Thunder released some news before the expedition, on the one hand, to boost the self-confidence of the people, and on the other hand, to warm up for the trade of minotaur slaves, when he conquered a tribe of minotaurs, the people of Bourbon Province would abandon their fear of the minotaurs.
"Bang dang!" the steady footsteps of the bear goblin guards reverberated softly on the dry and hard earth.
The chief of this minotaur tribe on the other side of the sea is Iron Hoof, and his tribe is still waiting for their warriors to return, but Iron Hoof will never come back, and it is the thundering army that knocks on the door of their tribe.
"Boom!"
The decaying wooden gate was shattered by a thunderous shot, and the sleepy minotaur guard woke up to be trampled under the feet of the swarming bear goblins.
The Minotaur tribe was even more defenses than Thunder had imagined, there were no patrols, no watchtowers, and the Minotaurs guarding the outside were only a few dozen maimed men with broken arms and legs, until they broke into the tribe, and the panicked howls of the Minotaurs were heard.
"Bundle it up! If you resist fiercely, you will kill me directly!"
The thunder at this moment, like a tyrant, sat high on a stone horse, a black cloak fluttered in the wind, but the fierce order made the soldiers' blood boil, and their minds were full of thoughts about capturing more minotaur slaves. (To be continued.) )
