750. Material Transactions
"Put in another ......"
Surdak's voice was a little hoarse, his body was stained with the dark brown body fluids of the ghost-patterned red ants, and he was carrying a blood-red crescent moon in his hand, standing at the head of the city with a sour smell all over his body, staring at a group of ghost-patterned red ants crawling from the rock wall.
The archers shot the Ghost Striped Worker Ant one after another, leaving only the Ghost Striped Soldier Ant who rushed to the front.
The huge body climbed up to the top of the city, and the whole body was stronger than the bison, and a pair of huge pincers grew on the head of the soldier ant, which could easily bite off the big one. Logs with thick legs.
The bone-covered forelimbs were inserted into the cracks in the stone of the wall, causing the stones to loosen slightly.
Ten hoplites hid behind the battlements, holding their breath as the ghostly ant climbed over the battlements.
The two infantry in front held double-edged axes in their hands, and at the moment when the forelimbs of the ghost striped soldier ants were on the wall battlements, the two axes slashed at the weak joints of the forelimbs of the ghost striped red ants, and instantly cut off the forelimbs.
The ghost-patterned soldier ant let out a scream, and the giant pincers on its head stabbed at the hoplite, trying to cut off the hoplite's waist.
The heavy infantry armed with the double-edged giant axe dropped the giant axe, rolled backwards, and hid behind the heavy infantry holding the tower shield, the ghost-patterned soldier ant giant pincer hit the square tower shield, and the four warriors behind him put their shoulders against the shield at the same time, and they were all knocked out.
The four hoplites in the back armed with spears took the opportunity to stab the spears in their hands into the bone gap connecting the head of the ghost-patterned soldier ant to the chest, so that it could get stuck at the head of the city.
Then all the infantry soldiers quickly dodged, and a large amount of acid erupted from the mouthparts of the ghostly soldiers.
Samira controlled the bed crossbow and aimed at the ghost-patterned red ant to shoot a giant crossbow arrow, which was less than ten meters away from the ghost-patterned red ant, and the giant crossbow arrow directly fixed the ghost-patterned red ant to death on the head of the city, no matter how hard it struggled, it couldn't break free.
The hoplite, armed with spears, stabbed the giant head of the Ghost Ant and made it unable to struggle.
Two hoplites took the opportunity to rush forward, picked up the double-edged giant axe that had been thrown on the ground, and took the opportunity to cut off the head of the soldier ants......
This is already the sixth ghost pattern soldier ant
Although the strength of this kind of soldier ant is far inferior to that of other second-level demonic beasts, the skull is the same as that of second-level demonic beasts, and each soldier ant has a demon core in its skull.
It is not known if the hard shells on the ghost tattoo ant are magic materials, after all, those carapaces are too hard.
Samira pulled out a foul-smelling core from her slimy skull, but her face was full of joy, and she said to Surdak proudly:
"These big guys seem to be very good! Each one has a core. ”
Surdak approached the battlements and looked at the dense ant colony under the city, feeling that although the ant colony under the city wall was still crowded together, they seemed to have become orderly, and there was a fast-moving path among the ant colonies, which was convenient for those large ghost-patterned soldiers to move.
The corpses of those ghost-patterned soldiers at the foot of the city wall have completely turned to ashes, but the oil refined by the bodies of those dead red ants has gathered in the oil tank under the city wall, and a wall of fire is still burning fiercely.
Let those ghost-patterned worker ants not dare to get close to half a step, they can only bypass from the side of the mountain wall, both sides of the mountain wall are now full of ghost-patterned worker ant corpses, the fire under the city wall is spreading to the side of the mountain wall little by little, the corpses here are not soaked in fire oil, can not burn, but billowing choking smoke.
There are often ghostly red ants that fall down steep rock faces.
"Slow down, we'll kill them one by one." Surdak looked at the ghost-patterned red ants that burst out of the smoke and said to Samira.
Surdak instructed the two squadron leaders of the city guards to concentrate the city guards equipped with even archer crossbows on the east and west sides of the city wall, mainly shooting the ghost-patterned soldiers and ants crawling on the rock wall.
"Archers keep an eye on the mountains on both sides of the canyon, and be careful not to let the ghostly red ants come in." Surdak commanded.
Samira rolled over and climbed onto the bed crossbow, and said excitedly to the city guards beside her, "Put another ...... in."
……
This beast tide came a little suddenly, but it was expected.
The residents of Dodan Town were waiting for the moment when the beast tide came, and saw the smoke billowing on the city wall, and the fire outside the city burned all night.
The townspeople were all discussing how many ghostly red ants had been killed in a fire last night, and they had heard that the big ones had been singled out and killed, and those red ants were piled up behind the northern city wall, and a group of people from the leather shop were peeling their skins.
Because the carapace was too hard, the skinning knife couldn't cut through it at all, and the hard armor was currently split with a hand axe.
The master of the leather shop said that this hard armor leather was useless, but it attracted many merchants in the town to watch.
However, without the approval of the garrison commander, Baron Surdak, no one would dare to take these ghostly red ants, even if they all rotted.
The merchants were quietly discussing what they could do to buy the hard armor of these ghost-patterned soldier ants from Commander Surdak.
They hoped that Commander Surdak would be as illiterate as the town's tanner, and dispose of all the carapace as garbage, so that they could make a fortune by transporting the hard carapace to Wilkes City without much expense.
But it was heartbreaking to see the leather shop guys in the town almost smash the carapace in order to split the hard carapace.
How can this thing be smashed with an axe!
There are also two teams of mercenary group members on the city wall, and they have now joined the hunt for ghost pattern soldier ants, and there is no danger at the end of the day.
The big creature looked like a brute bull, and if it weren't for the bed crossbow that could nail it to the stone wall on the side of the city wall, it would have been a lot of trouble to defeat it head-on.
For the members of the Mercenary Guild, at present, only by assisting in the defense of the northern city wall can they get a share of the hunting of Warcraft.
A few days ago, under the mobilization of Surdak, some mercenaries volunteered to go to the city wall to assist in the defense, these mercenaries are all locals of Dodan Town, they feel that since the beast tide is coming, guarding Dodan Town is their job, and there is no reason to refuse.
Once Dodan can't hold it, the home is gone.
There are also some mercenaries who are not used to Surdak's style of doing things, and do not want to obey Surdak's orders, nor do they want to work the city, so they choose to give up participating in the defense of the city.
These people hid in their homes, and occasionally got together, hoping that the ghostly red ants would teach the garrison commander a hard lesson with a strange temper and a penchant for eating alone.
Only in this way can he change his face and personally come to the door and ask them to go up to the city wall to help defend it.
When they had afternoon tea, they even figured out how to climb the city wall and kill all sides.
But...... After a day and a night of fierce fighting, the battle seemed to have stabilized.
Those mercenaries who took the initiative to apply for the defense of the city wall happily walked down from the city wall, and everyone gained a lot, after all, these mercenaries' personal strength is very strong, and almost all of them directly participated in the hunting of ghost pattern red ants, so the rewards they received were also very rich.
The mercenaries' harvest today is about three gold coins.
Moreover, these mercenaries who take the initiative to apply for defense assistance will also give priority to them when arranging the date of defending the city in the future.
Those mercenaries who did not take the initiative to apply for assistance in defense at the beginning, but now see that the assistance in defense is rewarding, and want to apply for the defense of the city head, they can only be assigned to the reserve team and wait for the opportunity.
For a while, I don't know how many people are remorseful.
……
While the merchants were discussing how to start more trade and cooperation with the Dodan garrison, the resident logistics chief, Ms. Selena, gathered the town's merchants and held a dealer meeting in front of the warehouse of the city guard brigade.
As soon as Surdak came down from the city wall, he was pulled here by Selena to participate in this dealer meeting.
In front of the warehouse of the city guard brigade, there were actually more than thirty merchants standing, everyone was getting together and talking about the battle situation on the city wall today, everyone didn't expect the garrison to block the first wave of the beast tide so easily.
Once you're in the rhythm of the fight, the next thing to do is hold on.
And on the first day of perseverance, more than 20 ghost pattern soldier ants have been hunted, and with the current market of Warcraft materials, this is also a big gain.
Surdak didn't expect that so many merchants had come to the town during this time, and he walked to the door of the warehouse of the city guard brigade and stared at the merchants on the field.
When everyone saw Surdak, the voices of laughter became much quieter.
Surdak stood at the door of the warehouse and let the city guards push open the door of the warehouse, which was almost full of primary-level monster leather, and a large wooden chest was full of demon cores.
The merchants shouted......
Everyone knows that the garrison has been hunting a lot of demonic beasts recently, but they didn't expect that there would be so many of them.
Surdak raised his hand, motioned for everyone to be quiet, and then spoke:
"I believe that many of the people present today are very concerned about the results of our garrison on the city wall, and also want to know how many magical beasts we have hunted before this, most of the results of these days are in this warehouse."
"I think there will be more and more in the future, but the back is almost all the magic materials on the ghost tattoo soldier ants...... Every day, I think it will continue until the tide ends. ”
"It's not difficult to get these magical beast materials, whoever has a series of armaments such as arrows, fire oil, steel ingots, flax thread, feathers, finished arrow shafts, etc., can be transported to Duodan Town, and the merchants who can get these armament materials can get these magic materials at a price two percent lower than the market price."
"I'm sorry, gold coins and magic crystals can't buy these Warcraft materials in Dodan Town for the time being."
Surdak glanced at Selena and said, "I have another meeting, and you are in charge of this side." ”
After speaking, he took a few squadron leaders in the cavalry battalion and quickly left the city guard brigade and returned to the garrison camp.
As soon as Surdak left, the merchants immediately became imposing.
"Where are we going to find armaments at this time?" A merchant in the crowd shouted at the top of his voice.
In addition, a merchant raised the money bag in his hand, shook the money bag in his hand loudly, and protested to Selena: "Gold coins are the trading currency in circulation of the Green Empire, so bartering is a violation of the laws of the Green Empire." ”
"We don't accept the Commander's offer."
"Yes, we can't accept it anyway!"
The businessmen at the scene said that they would not accept such a deal, and their voices were very neat.
Selena stood in front of the warehouse gate, silent.
She listened quietly to the protests of the merchants, asked the warehouse management to lock the warehouse door, and then said:
"In this case, we don't force it, if you find me again next time, it won't be this preferential price, but you will get these magic materials at a price one percent lower than the market price."
After speaking, she didn't even look at these businessmen, and said lightly:
"You're thinking about ......"
After saying that, he also turned and left.
……
Selena returned to the barracks, she also had a lot of business to deal with, the recently obtained supplies and the supplies from the logistics department, a large amount of supplies that had been consumed every day, and all the accounts were very chaotic.
She was going to sort out the accounts, and for that reason she hadn't even looked at the walls.
Several clerks gathered around him, constantly reporting some data to Selena.
Selena had just sat down at her desk in the cabin, ready to catch her breath with a cup of hot tea......
She had just reached out and picked up the steaming teacup when she saw the clerk knock at the door, Selena put the teacup down and looked at the clerk.
The clerk immediately straightened up and reported to Selena:
"Ms. Selena, there's a businessman named Hoover who wants to talk to you privately......"
Selena said quietly, "Please let him in!" ”
The clerk hurriedly walked out.
Not long after, a shy businessman with a big belly walked in, his expression was a little obscene, and he wanted to squeeze out a smile, but unfortunately he smiled reluctantly.
"Ms. Selena, I want to buy some leather from a second-level Warcraft, and I happen to have some steel ingots in my hand......"
Selena shook her head and said, "Stainless steel ingots can't be exchanged for second-grade Warcraft leather, if you want this kind of high-grade leather, you have to bring fire oil." ”
"So what do I get in exchange?" Hoover wiped his forehead and asked.
"Both Junior Warcraft Leather and Magic Crystal can be ......," Selena said to merchant Hoover.
Hoover was opposite Selena, put a note on the table, and said with some humility: "Then I want the junior Warcraft leather, and I can trade it tonight, but you must keep it secret for me, I don't want them to know that 'I broke the agreement with them'." ”
"Got it, it's a deal in front of the warehouse of the city guard brigade before dawn tomorrow morning!" Selena said to Hoover.
The merchant Hoover took off his hat and saluted Selena, revealing the top of his bare, slightly comical head......
No sooner had Hoover, the businessman, left than another merchant came to visit.
They swore that they would never trade with the garrison camp, but they came to the door one after another, which made Selena a a little overwhelmed.
However, the fastest move was made by the trading firm in Dodan Town.
Because they had already stocked some armaments in the warehouse of their trading firm, and now they were just taking them out for trading, they naturally quickly negotiated a list of transactions with Selena.
By the time Selena was done, it was completely dark.
