809. Leather Trading

On the first day of entering the hilly terrain, ten four-wheeled wagons returned to the town of Dodan in the afternoon full of ghostly soldiers.

The day after the ten wagons were fully loaded, Lady Luna, acting mayor of the town, organized twenty wagons through the Dodan Gorge and arrived on the battlefield in the hills and mountains just before noon.

Although the acting mayoress made the boldest prediction of her life, the twenty four-wheeled carriages still failed to carry all the spoils.

On the third day, a thunderous caravan came to the hills.

The caravan consisted of twelve thunder rhinos, and they walked in a row through the mountains, which looked like a series of moving hills from a distance.

Thanks to the timely arrival of the Thunder Rhino Caravan, all the loot accumulated in three days could finally be transported to Dodan Town.

This Thunder Caravan was originally here to transform the body of the Thunder Rhino, and Surdak led his army to hunt ghost red ants outside the canyon, and the caravan director immediately decided to bring the Thunder Rhino Caravan to meet the commander of Surdak.

The scene of cleaning up the battlefield was very lively.

Selena personally rushed to the frontline positions and counted the spoils of war, merits, battle damage, and supplies needed to be replenished.

In this hunt, the merit points obtained by the cavalry battalion are no longer evenly distributed, but are divided according to the cavalry squad, and all the ghost-striped red ants killed on the battlefield will have a unique mark for each squad.

The span of the hilly and mountainous battlefield is also very large, and the cavalry raids around the ant colony, so that there are corpses of ghost red ants everywhere in the hills and mountains, and many ghost red ants have not been able to gather together in time, so they have to run around this area again after the war, and use the lasso to drag back those ghost soldier ants that have missed.

However, in this way, the cavalry's enthusiasm for fighting suddenly increased a lot.

This hunt did not use explosives to clean up the ghost pattern worker ants, and these ghost pattern worker ants were also included in the merit account book again, making merit statistics more cumbersome.

Selena temporarily found several cavalrymen who knew the imperial Chinese language to count together, and was busy until the evening before returning to Dodan Town with the Thunder Rhino Caravan.

As for the merit statistics, I was busy until the evening, mainly because when Selena did the total number check at the end, the merit value did not match the number of ghost tattooed soldier ants.

In order to be able to count the merit values of each squad as soon as possible, Selena temporarily invited several cavalrymen to do it together.

But after all, these cavalry participated in this battle, and many of the cavalry on the battlefield were their usual familiar friends, everyone had selfish intentions, and occasionally someone recorded some more merits in private, and this kind of thing could not be supervised......

For the first time since the merit was counted, the cavalry battalion had falsely reported its merits.

Until the time she returned to Dodan Town, Selena still had a straight face and didn't want to say a word.

Selena wanted to thoroughly investigate these cavalrymen who were responsible for counting their merits, but they were later stopped by Surdak and falsely reported that the amount of merit was not too large, so in order to carry out the hunt for ghost red ants smoothly, she did not continue to pursue the matter.

It's just that those cavalrymen who are responsible for counting their merits are busy for half a day, and there are no subsidies and rewards.

……

Lance and a few of his friends have been living in the cabin of Thunder Rhino's back for the past few days.

I have also participated in several battles in the past few days, but unfortunately I have not brought out the advantages of the magician.

They just stood on the platform and threw a few fireballs at the ant colony, but they didn't actually have much of an impact on the whole fight.

Several young magicians had a certain understanding of the fighting methods of the Imperial cavalry, and they had a very clear understanding of the strength of Surdak's cavalry team.

Lance didn't expect Surdak to have second-turn powerhouses like Andrew, the indigenous warrior of the Nanai tribe, and the two-headed ogre, no wonder he could not only easily defend the Dodan Gorge, but also lead the cavalry to kill out of the canyon.

The two of them led a group of cavalry to fight in the ant colony, almost the mainstay of the battlefield, and all the cavalry followed behind the two of them, like locusts in transit, plundering and reaping the ghost-patterned red ants.

This is also the most intuitive feeling of Lance fighting in the hills and mountains with the cavalry battalion.

Later, Lance discovered that the half-elf archer Samira was the core of the whole team, and in the final battle to kill the queen, she alone shot sixteen male ants and one queen of the ants.

Seeing these warriors in the cavalry battalion, the young magicians also began to think about how to get more merit and how to cooperate with those cavalry.

The five of them gathered in the cabin and began to think about the position of the mage in a war.

They can't charge like knights, and they can't shoot arrows as often as archers, although the fireball is not bad, but if this thing is used dozens of times frequently, the mental power will be exhausted.

Everyone discussed for a long time, and in the end the sad discovery did not find a good entry point.

Of the five magicians, it was Golena who took the lead in the end.

The reason is that Golena is a water magician, she learned the 'hydrotherapy' technique to perform simple healing, and then she was honored to become Surdak's assistant, usually responsible for some healing work for wounded knights.

Several magicians also saw the Surdak cavalry battalion's ability to quickly amass wealth.

The cavalry have been killing ghost-patterned red ants on a large scale for the past few days, and have actually harvested a large amount of magic materials.

They were a little puzzled, if it was really like what they saw, then why didn't the other legions grab this piece of fat?

The Bailin plane is not prominent among the several planes that Duke Newman of Bena Province said to control, the resources of this plane are very ordinary, and there is no air supremacy, and even the channel of the magic airship cannot be opened here.

It is not as highly developed as the maca plane, nor is it as resource-rich as the dry cloth plane.

"How could such a beast tide go unnoticed by the other noble lords?"

Gorena leaned against the window, looking at the hilly and mountainous battlefield at dusk, a team of thunder rhinos loaded with various goods was slowly walking towards the Dodan Gorge, and couldn't help but sigh.

The sweet-faced sorceress snuggled up to her, and she also had some questions: "Yes! When did the noble lords of Bena become so polite? Don't you even come to get a piece of the pie? ”

"I think it has something to do with Commander Surdak's personal abilities." The monocle male magician gave an answer.

Lance laughed and said nothing.

The other magicians asked curiously, "What ability?" ”

The monocle-glassed male magician put on a natural look and said, "Of course it's the Holy Light Technique!" Do you see how much the sour venom of these ghost-striped red ants has affected his cavalry? ”

He pointed to the cavalrymen who were resting and dining on the hillside and said:

"Normal cavalrymen come into contact with these acid and rotten poisons, I'm afraid that even if they don't reduce their troops, they will lose their combat power!"

"But what about them? As you can see, rinse the red, swollen and ulcerated skin with water, and the skin will grow new skin the next morning, which is simply a two-in-one effect of healing and antidote. ”

“…… Therefore, magic potions is really a discipline that deserves a lot of energy, and if we carry a whole box of magic potions with us, we can probably create such a cavalry. ”

“……”

The young magicians no longer paid attention to the madman obsessed with Potions.

Lance also discovered that Surdak had an unusual interest in ghost-striped male ants.

He felt that the main target of the cavalry battalion's hunt was not the ghost queens in the colony, but the ghost male ants who had received extra care.

In order to be able to hunt all the ghost pattern male ants, the cavalry after killing the ghost pattern ants, they dispersed and isolated these huge ghost pattern male ants, almost every ghost pattern male ant was taken care of by a cavalry team on the battlefield, and the cavalry obviously had the ability to kill them one by one, but they had to make a row of numbers for these ghost pattern male ants.

Surdak was involved in the killing of almost every ghost-striped male......

This is also the most incomprehensible place for Lance, who kills or not!

Surdak doesn't need merit, so why do you have to be obsessed with killing every ghost-striped male ant?

Of course, when it comes to Surdak, Lance doesn't think he's a competent commander, as he rarely commands battles.

Andrew was often responsible for cavalry raids, Samira was usually responsible for commanding ant colonies, and occasionally Surdak asked him to direct the cavalry brigade to transfer missions, he was a magician who had never learned to command armies.

But the most Holy Knight, Surdak was undoubtedly the most competent, and he would be very proactive in treating the wounded cavalrymen.

This topic seems to be a bit far away.

In terms of strength, the ghost pattern male ant can be regarded as three. The biggest feature of the early stage of the Warcraft itself is that its armor is almost so thick that it can't shoot through the bed crossbow, and secondly, it has extraordinary strength and can spit acid and rot.

In addition, the ghost pattern male ant is not qualified at any point. Tier Warcraft.

The most important point is that the hard armor on its body is too heavy, it is impossible to use it to make a magic pattern structure, and only one magic core in the skull is still valuable, Lance feels that its value is even inferior to the ghost pattern soldier ant, but in the face of such a ghost pattern male ant, Surdak is particularly concerned.

And Surdak is obsessed with dismembering these ghostly males.

Lance knew that Surdak's skinning skills were not bad, but he was the supreme commander of the cavalry battalion, how could he waste his precious time on skinning, and the skinners in the barracks could at least form a squad.

In the face of such a heavy and hard armor as the ghost pattern male ant, he didn't need other people's help......

Surdak has a very luxurious tent, which can be erected to cover a whole ghost-patterned male ant, and every time he dismemberes these ghost-patterned males, Surdak will burrow into the tent and make it mysterious.

Before he does, he will also select the ghost male ant in advance, and if he doesn't look at it, he will hand over the ghost male ant to other skinners, and then continue to hunt the next one, and make sure that each ghost male ant has just died when he arrives in front of him.

Of the nearly thirty ghost-patterned male ants, only five were singled out by him......

……

After the hunt was complete, Surdak left Andrew, Gulitham, and Samiraliu on the battlefield on this side of the hills, and returned to Dodan alone to meet the merchants of Malacom.

There is a backlog of nearly 10,000 Soldier Ant Armor Skins in Dodan Town that needs to be traded with the Malacomb merchants, and Surdak must negotiate this kind of large transaction in person.

Merchant Malacomb didn't expect Surdak to lead his troops outside the Dodan Gorge so quickly to hunt the Ghost Pattern Ant Colony.

I heard that those ghost pattern red ants are almost all powerful existences close to the second-level demonic beasts, of course, there is no problem in killing one or two, you can find one or two adventure groups or mercenary groups at will, and dozens of them are probably no problem, but these are tens of thousands of ghost pattern red ants......

I heard that these garrisons are relying on the town's urban defense system to resist these ghost-patterned red ants, how can Duodan Town actually take the initiative to attack?

If he hadn't known that the Luther Legion's Constructed Swordsmen Regiment was still in Talapa and dared to suppress the rebellion, he would definitely think that it was the Luther Legion's main Constructed Swordsmen Regiment who secretly entered the White Forest Plane......

This time, the merchant Malacombe brought a total of three caravans, and it was originally planned that only one caravan would transport hard armor and other materials back to Wilkes City, and the remaining two caravans would stay behind for transformation.

However, looking at the current situation, for the time being, only one and a half caravans of Thunder Rhino can be left.

A group of aborigines were cleaning up the dried hard armor on the grass, and these hard leather armor were packed in a bundle of thirty pieces, and a thunder rhinoceros could only carry less than twenty bundles, that is, six hundred soldier ant hard armor skins, and it would take sixteen thunder rhinos to carry away all the leather goods that Surdak had hoarded in the barracks.

Surdak's ability to hunt ghost-striped red ants was something that no one expected.

It is estimated that the price of such hard armor leather will drop to the bottom in an instant, so how to sell these hard armor skins to the noble lords of Bena Province is also something that Malacombe needs to think about.

In fact, this type of horse armor made of hard armor was still quite popular in the market, and many lords with cavalry were interested in this light hard carapace.

……

Seeing those aborigines loading large bundles of hard armor with thunder rhinos, the hearts of the merchants in Duodan Town also became empty for a while.

Then a lot of leather goods, no matter who falls on the head, is a lot of wealth. Even if you just sell it, it will scrape a layer of oil and water.

Unfortunately, he was blinded by greed at the time and failed to seize this business opportunity, resulting in the business being directly handed over to the merchants of Wilkes South District.

Baron Golding stood at the door of the town's trading house, watching the thunder rhino pass by with a blank expression.

He turned around and walked into the business house and locked himself in his room......

……

A team of thunder rhinos loaded with leather goods slowly left the town of Dodan, and a strong tremor could be felt throughout the town.

The merchant Malacom, standing on the back of a thunderous rhino at the front, waved goodbye to Surdak from afar......
