807. Profiteering Industries

At noon the next day, Hangis, who had run into a wall in the town of Dodan, said goodbye to several magicians.

He followed everyone to Dodan Town, mainly to gain the favor of the sorceress Gorena, but unfortunately Gorena's love was always with him along the way, and occasionally ambiguous. Let's talk a little bit.

But most of the time, the sorceress prefers to act with everyone.

Even though Hungis made it clear that if Glenna was willing to accept his relationship, he could go to the mentor to discuss transferring Glenna to the Bednar Magic Guild, but unfortunately Glenna was not interested.

It's been three days since Lance and the others came to the barracks again, and merit points are being exchanged on the side of the barracks.

The scene at the entrance of the barracks station's material warehouse was very lively.

Due to the canyon hunt a few days ago, the soldiers in the cavalry battalion almost divided the merits of the ghost soldiers and ants hunted according to the number of people, and the total number of ghost soldiers hunted reached more than 7,000, and after distributing them evenly, each cavalryman received more than 460 merits.

Many cavalry captains in the barracks have merit values of more than five thousand, and they are already qualified to exchange them for magic weapons.

Since the cheapest item, the Magic Pattern Build, also costs more than 20,000 merit points, this made many cavalrymen give up the competition of the Magic Pattern Construct at the beginning, and turn their eyes to these magic weapons.

The cavalry battalion prepared fifty heavy sword weapons this time, and they were selected by the cavalry almost in the morning.

It has to be said that Malacomb took out these magic weapons, which were almost the same in quality, and the cavalry chose the attributes of the weapons according to their preferences.

Occasionally, some cavalry choose to exchange for some magic scrolls, but many cavalry are more reluctant to sell expensive consumable items, mainly because magic scrolls are too expensive, and some cavalrymen buy them back for self-defense.

This time, the archers did not participate in this round of exchange, mainly because there were no magic weapons such as bows and crossbows.

The hoplites were unable to exchange for these magic weapons because the merit points they had accumulated were not enough for the time being.

Some of the Archer Squad Captains and Hoplite Squad Captains privately approached Samira and Gallatin and asked Surdak to prepare more of these magical weapons.

Surdak didn't expect that so many warriors would be willing to exchange for magic weapons, and the magic crystals and gold coins were ignored instead.

I privately found a few captain-level warriors, cavalry, and archers to understand, and only then did I understand what these warriors were thinking.

Now the beast tide is obviously not over, and everyone has earned so many merit points, although they know that fifty gold coins is also a lot of wealth, but everyone is more willing to exchange merit points for weapons, with excellent magic weapons, you can hunt more ghost red ants on the battlefield, and at the same time, it is also a guarantee for yourself.

In the future, even if you leave the barracks after the expiration of your military service, you will not lose much money by leaving such a magic weapon to your family or selling it.

Therefore, many warriors believe that exchanging magic weapons now is definitely a sure investment.

The prerequisite is that the battle to eradicate ant colonies continues......

……

'Of course, we must continue, and at least complete the transaction of the merchant Malacombe!' That's what Surdak had in mind.

This time he successfully cleaned up the ghost pattern ant colony in the canyon, and Surdak harvested a very large amount, harvesting more than 7,000 magic cores alone, and removing some of the very damaged hard armor skin of the ghost pattern soldier ants, almost 5,000 pieces were harvested.

However, Surdak still had to pay some of the expenses, and he had to pay two hundred gold coins to the lumberyard in Dodan Town.

In the town of Dodan, more than 2,000 indigenous people were hired to dig pits in the canyon around the clock and build a wooden fence with logs.

The whole project lasted three days, and the salary of the aborigines was three silver coins per day, for a total of nine silver coins for three days.

More than 2,000 natives also asked Surdak to pull out two hundred gold coins.

In addition to these payable costs, the largest expenditure was the merits of the soldiers, which were converted into gold coins, and the number of gold coins payable to the soldiers was nearly three thousand six hundred.

The process of exchanging these merits, for Surdak, is constantly pulling out gold coins.

Of course, the speed at which he has accumulated wealth recently has also reached an unbelievable level.

It is often said that war is the most lucrative industry, further heaven, one step back hell, the winner can reap unimaginable wealth, but the same loser is also very likely to lose all ...... Even their own lives.

From these more than 7,000 magic cores, Surdak can open at least 3,500 magic crystals, and the rest is a large number of magic crystal fragments.

Although the magic crystal shard is not too valuable, it is also relative to the magic crystal.

A standard-sized Crystal can be split into ten Crystal Fragments, but the price of Crystal Fragments in the Magic Market usually fluctuates between thirty and fifty Silver Coins, and the total price of ten Crystal Fragments is around four Gold Coins.

And one magic crystal can be exchanged for seven gold coins in the magic market.

This is still the exchange rate after the continuous depreciation of the magic crystal.

Before the outbreak of the Plane Wars, one magic crystal could be exchanged for ten gold coins.

On a wooden table in the logistics warehouse, there are three No. 4 Demon Sealing Boxes side by side, the lids of the Demon Sealing Boxes are all open, and the boxes are full of round magic crystals the size of lychees, like this type of Demon Sealing Box, the number of magic crystals filled with a box is about a thousand.

The three Demon Sealing Chests meant that Surdak had made a profit of three thousand Magic Crystals alone in this battle.

Selena had taken out the part of the magic crystal that needed to be spent separately and stored it in a wooden box.

In addition, there are two leather pockets under her feet, which are full of magic crystal fragments, which are conservatively estimated to be worth about seven hundred magic crystal stones.

In the pit outside the barracks, there were still seven pits of soldier ant hard armor, and Surdak felt that once these hard armor skins burst into the leather market in Bena Province, the price of hard armor would fall sharply.

Unexpectedly, this outbreak of the beast tide allowed him to quickly accumulate a fortune.

The guards stood guard outside the door, and the warehouse seemed quiet, the fifty magic weapons on the weapon rack had been emptied, and only a few large wooden boxes indicating the existence of the magic pattern structure were placed in the innermost part of the warehouse.

But in fact, these wooden chests are just ordinary heavy armor, and the real primary strength magic pattern construction and the three-piece magic pattern construction cuirass are kept in the lava mine of Puss Mountain, where Surdak stores important supplies.

Surdak said with some hesitation: "I didn't expect that this time the Ghost Pattern Red Ant will have such a big harvest, should I increase the merit value of hunting each Ghost Pattern Red Ant by ......?"

"Chief, now the merit values you give to the cavalry are a bit beyond the standard." Andrew said bluntly: "At least I am in the city of Vozhmara, and I have never seen a warrior who has gained so much in a battle, and the money exchanged for a battle is almost enough for him to eat for a year." ”

Selena also said beside her: "Although you don't care about this, but after all, we are a cavalry battalion belonging to the Luthor Legion, and if the benefits in the cavalry battalion are set too outrageously, it is estimated that it will affect the other barracks commanders." ”

Surdak thought for a moment, nodded, and made a decision:

"That merit value, keep it for the time being."

Then he said: "There are almost no ghost red ants in the Dodan Canyon, our next action is to go out of the Dodan Canyon to the hilly and mountainous side, this time our main target is the ghost male ants in the guard group, and we must pay attention to avoid hurting the abdomen of the ghost male ants when hunting, this is ...... Andrew, you have to pay extra attention. ”

Andrew, who was promoted to become a second-turn warrior, is still as honest as ever.

He scratched his bald head and replied honestly, "Got it, boss." ”

Samira put down the file in her hand, inserted the polished arrow into the quiver, looked up and said to Surdak, "Actually, we can recruit some more archers, buy a few more thunder rhinos, and form a battalion of archers." ”

Surdak rubbed his forehead with some distress and said, "You can still discuss with Malacombe about buying a Thunder Rhino, but archers may need to be retrained. ”

Samira immediately denied: "It's not okay to recruit all the novices. ”

She felt that relying on her own strength, she was destined to not be able to earn back the money she bought the epic bow in the short term, so she became proactive and considered whether to form an archery battalion.

"Or else...... I'm going to try to persuade those two hundred archers to stay? She proposed.

With such a cold personality as a half-elf, it is not easy to say this.

Surdak shook his head and said:

"I'm going to form a battalion of archers entirely of my own, you say...... If we were to send some emergency supplies to the natives who had taken refuge in the Thorn Mountains at this time to help them tide over the current difficulties, would they be willing to let the young people of the tribe join us? ”

"Maybe."

Samira pursed her lips, clearly not satisfied with the fact that the natives of Bailin had become her subordinates.

……

Outside the camp, the cavalry sat together.

Everyone's conversation was basically about who that primary power magic pattern construct would fall on.

Of the three most powerful contenders in the barracks, the strongest is Captain Adams, and his current merit value is also firmly at the top of the three, and he has broken through the 40,000 mark so far

The second is a squadron leader in the archer brigade who is good at controlling bed crossbows, with excellent archery skills, he has hunted more than 700 ghost pattern soldiers ants with bed crossbows in several city defense battles, and there are also four giant ghost pattern soldier ants, such an excellent record makes him firmly behind Captain Adams.

The third is a squadron leader in the reinforcement cavalry squadron, because the merit points he has accumulated are not eligible to exchange for magic patterns, but he has performed extremely well almost every time, so he has accumulated more than 30,000 merit points.

However, at present, these three people are far from 100,000 merit points.

At present, they are still facing a very real problem, that is, there will be many people who will accumulate 30,000 merit points in the future, so some of these people will be interested in those few single items of magic pattern construction, they continue to insist on accumulating merit value to 100,000, it is very likely that they will miss these three pieces of magic pattern construction, and they may not be able to earn that set of primary power magic pattern construction at that time.

How to choose is also a big test for several of them.

Once you fail to exchange for the primary power magic pattern construction, you may even miss out on the scattered magic pattern construction, and you may only be able to exchange it for a bag of magic crystals at that time.

……

The five young magicians walked into the camp, still attracting the attention of many warriors.

The magic robes on their bodies are simply too conspicuous, although they are of different colors, but the dark lines on the magic robes not only show their status as magical nobles, but also shroud them in a layer of mystery.

After asking the guards at the gate and knowing that Surdak was on the side of the logistics warehouse, Lance came over directly.

I just saw Surdak taking Andrew and Samira out of the warehouse.

"You've come just in time, we're going to lead the cavalry battalion into the hills and mountains tomorrow morning to try to find the ghost queen and clear the ant colony over there, do you want to join us?" Seeing Lance, Surdak asked directly. "This operation can be a little dangerous!"

"Of course, aren't we here to hunt the ghost-patterned queen?" Lance said, putting his hand on Surdak's shoulder.

"Well, you need to be ready today, and we'll set off tomorrow morning when the fog clears." Surdak said casually to the magicians.

In fact, there are no decent ghost-patterned red ants in the canyon anymore.

In the past few days, many mercenary groups have gone to the valley mouth of the Duodan Canyon to operate, and they have also successfully attracted some ghost-patterned red ants, of course, some ghost-patterned red ants have been lured back to the Duodan Canyon by them, but a large number of ghost-patterned red ants are reluctant to approach here.

Seeing that the day was getting closer and closer for the merchant Malacomb to send the Thunder Rhino, Surdak felt that this matter could not be delayed any longer, and that he had to hunt the ghost-patterned male ant as soon as possible.

……

Early in the morning of May 8th

Eight hundred cavalrymen and two armed thunder rhinos of the cavalry battalion of the garrison of Dodan Town passed through the Dodan Gorge again, heading towards the hills and mountains at the northern exit of the canyon.

Two armed thunder rhinos marched side by side in the canyon, and Samira, dressed in fiery leather armor, stood on the platform's bed crossbow console, her hair flying in the north wind.

The five magicians sat in the wooden hut on the other side of the thundering rhinoceros, and the two female magicians were curiously surveying the two-headed ogres in the cavalry along the way.

Andrew, dressed like a tin can, was still at the front of the line.

Up to now, Surdak has implanted one hundred and sixty war horses with magic patterns, except for sixteen strengthened war horses that were killed by ghost pattern soldiers in the Battle of Plantos, the remaining one hundred and forty-four war horses have participated in this expedition.

Through the frequent battles in the recent period, even if the veterans in the cavalry battalion have not yet comprehended the 'potential', many of them have also climbed to the peak of the ninth level.

Moreover, the dark wounds left by some veterans on the battlefield have also slowly healed under the treatment and recovery of the Holy Light Technique and the 'Divine Blessed Body'.

Now the veterans of this cavalry battalion are already a group of well-trained and experienced cavalry.
