Chapter 104: Buying an Iron Wildebeest
For ordinary professionals, the first-order iron wildebeest is also a very precious mount, even the inferior horse is a Warcraft war horse, which can use bloodline spells, and its strength and speed are much better than any thousand miles horse.
If you ride a Warcraft War Horse in a war, it will be very helpful for a junior professional.
Richard rode an iron wildebeest and made no small feats.
But for the Haaland family, who are interested in opening a horse farm, this batch of iron wildebeest is not too valuable.
Breeding inferior horses is actually polluting the genes of iron wildebeests.
To be honest, Richard was very disappointed to see this group of iron wildebeests.
But he knew in his heart that it would be good to have the Warcraft War Horse released.
Even if he went to the royal capital, the third-order horse king has always been priceless. Second-order mares also have to stay for breeding, and they can't be bought at all.
Even second-order stallions are very rare, and those that can be put on the market are all inferior or defective.
The price of a dozen stallions is not high, and one horse only costs fifty-five gold coins, which is cheaper than the normal market price.
On the contrary, the price of four mares is not cheap, eighty gold coins each, which is the same as the market price.
Although the price was not cheap, Richard quickly decided to buy some iron wildebeest to expand the population.
After purchasing table salt, there were still six hundred gold coins left in the caravan.
The four mares Richard were ready to take them all, and the remaining gold coins could buy five stallions.
The purchase of nine iron wildebeest horses at one time is also a big customer for the Serra.
The big nobles all have their own Warcraft breeding horse farms, and they don't look down on inferior goods.
The little nobles simply can't afford to form a Warcraft cavalry regiment, and they often go to the royal capital to select a batch of good horses when they buy horses by themselves.
The people who come to Duke Jonathan's county to buy Warcraft warhorses are basically professional mercenaries and Warcraft hunters who mix well.
The dozen or so inferior horses that the Duke of Jonathan's Warcraft Cultivation Center culls every year often take more than a year to sell, and sometimes drag on to the next year.
It takes so much time to be taken care of by a professional, and it costs money.
A professional should pay at least two or three gold coins per month.
If you are proficient in horse breeding and horse training, your salary will be doubled.
Forage also needs to be carefully selected and also costly.
Richard bought nine iron wildebeest at once, and Lady Serra behaved happily. A batch of harness was also given, and Richard was also asked to take some of the forage.
Before leaving, Lady Serra gave Richard a few words of advice, telling him to be careful on the road.
It went very smoothly when he came, which made Richard a little careless.
But Mrs. Serra's deliberate reminder immediately made Richard nervous.
Richard knew that the nobles did not say anything superfluous unless they were close to each other.
Especially a great nobleman like Lady Serra, she warned that she might have received some secret information.
But they didn't explain it directly, and the relationship between the two sides was very ordinary, and the status disparity was very great, and it was impossible for Richard to ask politely.
After the transaction was completed, Richard took the caravan for a day of rest, and the next morning he left Easte City with the goods.
Although the goods they carried on their return were the same weight, with nine more wildebeest horses carrying the goods, everyone could be a little more relaxed.
In the Duke of Jonathan's territory, there were no incidents in the caravan.
Having just entered the province of Lahe, he was told at the ferry that the provincial consul had requisitioned a transport ship to undertake the task of transporting grain, and that there was no ferry for a short time.
When shipping will resume, the low-ranking officials at the ferry are also uncertain.
Although the attitude of the people was very good, they also clearly told Richard that the ship would not come.
The accident on his return to the city, coupled with the reminder from Lady Serra, immediately made Richard's heart tighten.
"Could it be that someone really dares to attack us?"
Because of his suspicions, Richard became more cautious along the way.
There is a town near the ferry, which is a direct domain of the royal family.
Richard bought some carriages from the town and put them on iron horns.
Then he bought five thousand catties of grain and marched cautiously along the roads on both sides of the Black River.
Every night, he would personally set up the sentry posts, patrol the camp at night, and dig trenches with the soldiers after dinner in the evening, cut down trees and arrange antlers to prevent people from stealing the camp at night.
Richard and Soros will also be on duty separately in the middle of the night, personally inspecting the sentry posts, and there are not only open and dark sentry posts in the camp, but also mobile sentry posts, and the marching speed is slowed down to 20 kilometers every day to ensure that there will be no loopholes.
After six days of walking along the Heihe River, most of the food had been consumed, and there were still 30 kilometers to go to the next city.
This section of the road is deserted, undeveloped, the road has not been built, and it still needs to be climbed over the mountains.
After entering the wilderness, Richard became more demanding, constantly sending scouts to make sure that there were no ambushes before passing.
encountered a dangerous canyon, even if he was sure that there were no ambushes, Richard still asked the soldiers of the sixth squadron to put on armor and did not dare to relax a little.
After another day's walk, just over a large mountain, the soldiers were about to rest.
A group of mercenaries rushed up from a distance, and Richard looked up and saw that there were about three hundred people.
This group of mercenaries is well-armed, most of the soldiers are wearing leather armor, and the backbone mercenaries are also wearing iron armor, and they are also very skilled in coordination, and they should come from a mercenary group.
This kind of large mercenary group is very rare in the Grant Kingdom.
Although they did not fly the flag, Richard already knew that behind them was the provincial consul Jeram.
Seeing this scene, Richard never expected Jeram to be so ruthless.
He just didn't want to be exploited, and bypassed the channel controlled by Jeram, and Jeram wanted to hire mercenaries to kill people.
Richard sneered, secretly angry in his heart, and immediately removed the enchanted bow behind his back.
There are a total of five professionals in the caravan, in addition to Richard, there are also uncle Soros, sixth squadron leader Norman, deputy squadron leader Kent, and deputy squadron leader Robin.
After killing the Wyvern, Sophia used the Wyvern's brain and internal organs to refine a batch of Elixir Elixir.
After this batch of potions was distributed, four more professionals in the territory were added, including Robin.
Robin is not an old mercenary under Soros, he is an ordinary slave who was purchased by Richard and came to Harland.
In the army, he learned the breathing technique, advanced to the profession, and became the middle and upper echelons of Haaland's territory.
With this experience, he was very loyal to the territory.
It was Richard who saved his life, and it was Haaland's domain that changed his fate.
Every time Robin fights, he is desperate, and he can stand out from the soldiers after making meritorious achievements, buy potions to advance to the profession, become a master, and change the fate of himself and his family.
The five professions all have enchanted bows on their bodies, and their archery skills are also very level.
Even if they don't get into the range of a regular bow and arrow, as long as they pull the bowstring, the opponent will die.
