Chapter 197: The Beginning (1/3)
To the north of the Sea of Death, a huge fleet, led by a ship with two flags at the lead, sailed into the Sea of Death.
The ship was full of all kinds of goods, they were serious merchants, but the goods sold this time were military goods.
All kinds of leather armor, swords, siege ladders, catapults, etc. are prepared.
With only about 50 dark creatures on each ship, they resemble a normal business team.
These creatures are ordinary creatures with no supernatural powers.
Only the lead fleet and the outermost ships in the tail of the fleet group had some extraordinary soldiers.
These are a very normal business team.
Soon this huge fleet slowly sailed to the fortress of the City of Death on the sea, Gem Island!
With the Freemasonry, kobold flag on their heads, they can be unimpeded in the Northern One Passage, and at the same time, the supply points on the Fairway will be released for them to enter.
The fleet was moving normally, but when it came to the north of Gem Island, where the channel diverted, because of the turbulence of the sea, seven or eight large ships collided in the middle.
There was an accident with the ships in front, and the ships behind could not brake in time, resulting in a collision of more than a dozen ships behind, affecting nearly thirty ships in a row!
Ships collided, and in many places there were breaches and seawater backflow, making it impossible for the ships to move forward.
There was no way, the leader could only take the damaged more than 30 ships and sail towards the port of Gem Island.
Ships that are not damaged continue south, and damaged ships need to be repaired at the port.
"The ship is damaged and wants to come to us for repairs?"
Garrisoned at the port of Gem Island, a level 50 corpse witch, hearing the news from his subordinates, it was a little difficult to understand.
"They don't know, we're a military fortress?"
The soldier in charge of the message, a kobold warrior.
"They were carrying the flag of Freemasonry and our kobolds, saying that there was a collision in the place where the sea was flowing to the north, and now the ship could not continue and needed to be repaired, so they had no choice but to come to our side to rest."
Gem Island is the only place in the vicinity with a harbor and the only place where ships can be repaired.
But it's a military port used by the City of the Dead, and it's the gateway to the Gem Island.
Due to the change of the world, the other three sides of the Gem Island are cliffs, and only this side has a stream of water that leads to the interior of the Gem Island.
There is only one way to get into the Gem Island, and the other three areas are hundreds of meters high cliffs.
On top of the cliffs, there is a wall built around the island, on which the corpse witch carved the magic of vigilance.
Basically, the possibility of attacking Gem Island from the other three sides is eliminated.
"Freemasons and kobold flags?"
This means that the fleet may have been the work of the Freemasons and Kobolds, who were only subordinate forces of the City of the Dead, but who made an indelible contribution to the development of the City of the Dead.
It's not impossible to just come here and mend the ship.
"What's on those ships?"
The kobold soldier replied, "It's a war machine to be shipped to the City of the Dead, supposedly as a trade with the other continent."
Install the latest version. 】
Most are ladders, trebuchets, and some wooden shields. ”
"The war situation on the mainland is developing so fast? All with siege weapons. ”
The Corpse Witch didn't continue to think deeply: "Then let them in, but you have to be careful, don't let them enter the military strongholds, the materials they need will be sold to them at 5 times the price, the arms dealers are a bunch of fat pigs!" ”
Is there any industry in the world that is easier to make money than to make money from munitions?
As long as there is technology and arms, it can be described as a great profit.
"Yes!" The kobold soldier smiled when he heard the words of his superiors, thinking about the extra 100 gold coins in his pocket, and when he returned to the city of death, he could find a few kobold mothers-in-law!
Soon, more than 30 wrecked ships waddled into the port of Gem Island.
The port of Gem Island is huge, resembling a huge military fortress.
The ship entered the harbor through a huge water gate, and it could be seen that dozens of ships were already stationed inside.
This is the City of the Dead's own transport contingent.
Gem Island is not only home to gem mines, but also other rich mineral resources.
These ships are used to transport various necessities for the kobolds on the gem island, as well as to return the mined resources to the city of death.
The City of Death will exchange resources for various materials needed by the City of Death.
The humans who entered the fortress for the first time looked at the huge city wall that was more than 50 meters high around it, and there were huge crossbow arrows on the city wall.
These bolts are aimed at them as soon as they come in!
Fortunately, the soldiers guarding the fortress were mostly kobold soldiers, with only a few skeletons and two corpse witches.
The main army of Gem Island, a gem mine fortress in the center of the island.
The Corpse Witch was not interested in the origin of these things, and left the problem of the fleet to the Kobold Commander of the Fortress.
The kobold leader cordially meets with the leader of these ships, a Western human.
"General Bronze Fang, I only heard your name in the City of Death before, but today I finally saw you, and you are indeed majestic!"
The Western man smiled and said to the kobold leader: "I'm talking about Rosf, the commercial president of the Northern Dark Alliance, who is the leader of the southbound team, but I didn't expect that there was a ship collision accident on the way."
The sea can't be repaired, so I can only come here to trouble you, which is a little careful. ”
Rothf smiled and brought a small storage bag and put it in Brass Fang's hand.
Copper Tooth took the storage bag, and swept his mental power, and the inside was shiny.
Lots of gold.
Bronze Tooth smiled more gently: "Everyone will encounter difficulties, besides, if you can get my eldest brother's banner, that is my eldest brother's friend, and I am naturally also a friend." ”
"We have everything you need for your ship, but the price will be higher."
"After all, the materials here are all prepared for the army, and the quality is definitely better than ordinary, and the materials are drawn to you from the army first, and we need a certain amount of time to adjust."
Rothf's face was serious: "It must be more expensive, this is the gateway to the gem island, and the materials are all for the protection of the gem island, and it is already very difficult for you to sell it to us, so that the gem island is in danger." ”
"We need ..... supplies"
Rothf said and made a list of supplies on the spot, most of which were wood.
More than 30 ships cost 9,500 gold coins worth of wood.
The price of an ordinary ship is only about 1500 gold.
Ships made in hero cities are only 3,000 gold.
When the supplies arrived, the crews of the ships unloaded the supplies into the harbor and began repairing the ships.
Ladders, siege vehicles, shield vehicles, etc. are lined up in a row, so that it is convenient for transportation, loading and unloading.
Two days after the fleet entered Gem Island, there were suddenly more pirates in the northern part of the Dead Sea.
Consciously or unconsciously, the pirates approached the area where the Gem Island was located.
These movements are under the control of the City of the Dead.
City of the Dead.
"The master will be back in a day!"
The deputy city lord of the City of Death, the level 81 corpse witch, the general of the kobold clan, the kobold clan, Qin Feng, the leader of the eastern humans, and their commanders, gathered in the inner city.
This is an internal meeting of the City of the Dead, but this meeting does not have the largest current affiliate of the City of the Dead, the Freemasonry.
Steel Teeth, Qin Feng had long known about Freemasonry, and the people under them didn't know, but from the on-site meeting, they already sensed that the situation was wrong.
At meetings like this, there are basically Freemasons, but this time there is none, which can only indicate that something is wrong on the side of Freemasonry.
They knew that after the city lord left the city of death, the Freemasons developed better and better, and became the first subsidiary force of the city of death.
In addition, the president of the Freemasons is very economically minded, and the bazaar where the Freemasons are located is making money every day.
Taking advantage of the convenience of the bazaar, a large number of humans were rescued from other dark races, and the rescued humans joined the Freemasonry, which made the number of Freemasonry more and more large.
At first, there were several conflicts between the Oriental humans and the Freemasons because of the market, but later Qin Feng gave up the market and exchanged the market for a few small islands with the kobolds and Freemasons.
The retreat of the humans in the East made the Freemasons think that they are the only human forces in the City of Death, and they become more and more arrogant.
The Masonic leaders moved from the city of the dead to live outside the city.
A small fortress was also erected outside the city.
It's too inflated.
This is what everyone thinks about the Masonic chiefs!
It's a pity that the Masonic leaders still go their own way and don't care what other people think.
In his heart, he thought that as long as he could create a steady stream of benefits for the city lord, the number of Freemasons was large enough, and the benefits obtained were enough, the city lord would not give up on them.
That's what he's confident about.
But now it seems that the end of Freemasonry has come.
The human and kobold executives present were secretly happy in their hearts.
If Freemasonry falls, then the economy controlled by the resources controlled by Freemasonry will fall into their hands.
There is no one who does not look at the gains of Freemasonry at the bazaar.
Even if the humans in the East have begun to forge weapons and prepare to engage in the arms trade.
The kobolds have been deeply involved in economic and trade development, and after the fall of Freemasonry, won't the trade development of the City of Death fall into their hands?
Therefore, the high-level people present were silent, and they also tacitly sentenced the Freemasons to death.
But when they heard that the city was going to return, the hearts of all those present paused.
The City Lord of the Dead City, this is a truly ruthless man.
Although he had disappeared for nearly a month, the last time he appeared was to take the navy around to suppress bandits, then go to the west, and then never appear again. (The Dark Knight pretends)
"At that point, there may be a reallocation of resources." The deputy city lord looked at the human below, whose face had changed slightly.
The kobold have not changed much, for them, they just take what kind of resources the superior gives them.
In their world, the weak have no choice, and they take what the superior gives them.
Redistribution of benefits like this is common.
"Remember that all that you have now has been given to you by your Master, and that you can give it to you and take it back."
"Always remember who you are!"
After the deputy city lord finished speaking, he didn't say anything more on this issue, but focused on the things in the north.
"According to my informant, there are dozens of pirate ships in the northern region, and these pirates are very interesting, since they are formed by transcendents, there are hundreds of transcendent soldiers and even mages on each ship."
"And their movements are also very interesting, they have formed an encirclement of the gem island that is not easy to find!"
"In addition to these, the zombie city in the south has not been moving, and there are also abnormal movements!"
During this time in the City of Death, as the deputy city lord, he didn't do anything.
The economic side was given to the Freemasons, Kobolds, Orientals, etc., and he was responsible for forming their Dead City Intelligence Network.
Intelligence was very important, and if they had known about the Dark Gollum earlier, they wouldn't have lost the City of the Dead for a while.
So during this time, he used the power of death and the many corpse witches under his command to control, and the ordinary people who came to the city of death controlled one or two of each tribe.
While threatening the opponent with death magic, give the opponent some financial subsidies to improve the status of the opponent in their own clan and tribe, and you can get more information.
Because they control ordinary people, they will not be suspected by the higher-ups of other tribes.
By the way, plant a seed of death power in the body of ordinary people, and when these people awaken their extraordinary power or obtain extraordinary power, the death seed in their body will grow and sprout, so that these people can gain death power.
Letting the other party become a part of them is far stronger than power control, economic control.
One month is enough for them to build a huge information network.
And this information network can rely on the economic and trade between the two sides to transmit information.
In the world of the transcendent, not many people pay attention to the lives of ordinary people.
When he mobilized his intelligence network to find the group of people close to the Freemasons, he stumbled upon the zombie tribe.
In the sea area of the City of Death, there are traces of mutated zombies.
He then ordered the tribes in the south to help him secretly collect information about the mutant zombie group.
An ordinary creature of a dark tribe who was caught in a storm while out fishing, was pushed by the sea to the island where the mutant zombie metropolis was located.
It was accidentally discovered that on the outer surface of the zombie metropolis, there were a large number of warships, of course, ships of wooden structure, only on these ships there were bed crossbows, trebuchets.
Since the recapture of the city of death, the main force of the mutant zombie clan has entered the dark island, and the zombie metropolis has become very quiet.
And on the outskirts of the city, a gas similar to the dark canopy is released, obscuring the sky and the sun, making it impossible to see the situation inside.
The creatures that break in are basically unable to get out alive.
The creature was lucky, relying on the power of death left by the corpse witch in his body, and escaped death.
That's when the precious news came out.
The deputy city lord knew very well why the mutant zombie clan was so honest, and the other party was afraid of the revenge of the city of death, so he stayed on his island honestly.
Otherwise, they would have taken action to kill the other dark tribes around the city, and the islands and resource points around the metropolis were previously owned by the mutant zombie clan.
This time their enemies have grown in their brains.
I just don't know which side the enemy in the north belongs to.
According to the dark creatures on the northern pirate ships, there are various races, including dark Gollum, goblins, and green-skinned orcs who used to have a grudge against the city of death.
There are also other dark races outside of the Dead Sea, such as the Mantis People, the Boar People, the Black Devils of Hell, the Eight Greenheads, and so on.
These races and tribes alone are nothing to the City of the Dead, but the power they exert together is terrifying.
A more in-depth investigation is needed.
But no matter how many enemies there are, everything will fall apart when the master returns.
The deputy city lord has such confidence.
The city of death, the bone dragon in the bone dragon's lair, has long wanted to be born.
And the Dark Knight of the Dark Temple.
Not to mention the distance, let's just say that it is closer to the City of Death, and the Yin Wind City has gathered a very terrifying number of cemetery troops on the side of the Yin Wind City.
That's what he's confident about.
The deputy city lord continued: "How to fight this battle? When the master returns, the master will arrange for it. ”
"And we have to be ready, Qin Feng!"
Qin Feng, who was nervous below, immediately responded when he heard the deputy city lord call him: "The little one is here." ”
"Did I get the army you gathered together?"
Qin Feng replied loudly: "Lord Hui Deputy City Lord, all the assembly has been completed, and everything is waiting for your order." ”
The deputy city lord looked at Xiang Gangya: "Gangya, this is a union between you and Qin Feng, show me the Freemasonry!"
Tomorrow night, in the name of the deputy city lord, I will hold a party in the West Side and invite all the Freemasons!
At that time, all the Freemasons will go to the West City, and you and Steel Tooth will lead the troops and be responsible for the security of the market! ”
Qin Feng was a little puzzled: "My lord, will this be too obvious to attract the attention of the other party?" ”
"Even if he knew there was a fire pit ahead, he would have to jump for me!" The deputy city lord said in a cold voice: "His current position of power is all given to him by us, and he can be given and taken back." ”
"You are responsible for the normal operation of the market!" The deputy city lord waved his hand: "You don't have to worry about other things, as long as you keep to yourself and don't betray your master, you will get what you want." ”
"Yes, little one understands!"
Steel Tooth immediately complimented: "Everything obeys the orders of the adults!" ”
"My subordinates understand!"
"Well, let's talk about your next business development plan, be more detailed, and when the master returns, resources will be allocated according to the business development plan."
"Yes, my lord, we are..."
After hearing this, Steel Tooth's eyes lit up, and he immediately said the business development plan in his heart.
The kobold clan does not have human wisdom, so they are deeply involved in the bazaar, and only by doing a good job of the bazaar is enough for their kobold clan to gain a foothold in the land of heroes, and even feed back in another world.
Qin Feng was most worried about whether the arsenal they had just built would be taken back by the city lord.
Now the deputy city lord has given him hope, the bazaar, because they do not belong to the dark camp, plus they have exchanged the bazaar share to kobolds and Freemasons.
Don't think about the bazaar.
His idea was to lead the Eastern Humans to attack the main arms and refine the idea in his mind.
