"Coqueland, we need to hurry to Modo, we need to replenish there. Zanzi said.

"Well, yes, food and water are running out, but luckily we've killed quite a few people, and there's enough left to support us in getting to Liberty City, if only there was a spatial ring. Cochran sighed, a hot look in his eyes, if he had a piece of space equipment, he could stock up on more supplies and provide the slave catchers with a longer hunting time.

It's a pity that space equipment is expensive and rare, even if Corcoran belongs to a fairly powerful organization, it is still difficult to obtain at their level, unless it is the general group or the one or two slave catchers at the top of the ranks.

"You, have you ever thought about it. Zanzie's voice suddenly became deeper, so subtle that only Cocorran and him could hear it, "I mean, there are so many elven slaves this time, let's sell some of them first, and hand over the rest?"

Cochran's face changed as if he had been stung by a scorpion, "Are you crazy? ”

"This time the casualties are so big, we need to add. It's easy to recruit some people, but that's not the ones who are loyal to us, and maybe even the regiment will send some people down. ”

Cockran's face changed again, Zanzi was telling the truth, although the harvest was huge, but the team suffered such heavy casualties, it was inevitable that recruitment was necessary.

The recruitment of the slave hunting team is generally through the underground world, and the recruits are outlaws, and it is impossible to make these people their own team in a short period of time, so the combat power of the slave hunting team will be greatly damaged in a short period of time, and it is difficult to have a large-scale move like this attack on the wood elf tribe, and what is even more worrying is that the general group may send people down.

The Cockland slave catcher was no longer his own, having been swallowed up by a large force five years ago.

Duncan, the Merchant of Death, whose name is remembered throughout the underworld of Big 6, can only be described as infamous, and most people who remember his name will only pray by cursing him for his early death.

However, Duncan has been alive and well, and it is from him that he has been able to annex the Cockland slave catcher.

The industry of the Merchant of Death had two pillars, one was the sale of weapons, and the other was the capture and sale of slaves.

For elven slaves, Corkland is undoubtedly a villain, but for Cocorran, they will give this title to Duncan without hesitation, with the word shameless in front of it.

Duncan may indeed be a badass, but he is also a successful dark merchant.

There are several ways to trade slaves, the first is to catch a slave and sell it in a random city, or to trade with slave traders in that city.

The second way was to qualify for the slave trade held annually in some of the major cities, where some of the great nobles would be present.

The third way is that Duncan is now, he has made targeted slave purchases for at least a dozen aristocratic families, involving almost all human countries.

Life is only a commodity in his eyes, a commodity that can bring him profits.

Ten years ago, Duncan began to use his vast amount of money, power, and connections to swallow up other slave catchers, starting with those who were independent, such as the one founded by Cockran.

After continuous annexation, most of the slave catchers who did not have great strength or the support of the great nobles were swallowed up by Duncan.

Sometimes the methods used are direct bribery, sometimes they are bloody and cruel.

When Cocorland's team was annexed, it was relatively benevolent, and Duncan simply blocked his trafficking, and a year later Corcoran had to give in and join Duncan's group.

Some people may ask, can a slave catcher submit just by blocking the trafficking channel?

Yes, this may not be able to bring some large slave hunting organizations to their knees, let alone those who have the support of the great nobles or who have reached a level like Duncan that can provide slaves for the big nobles, but it is enough for a team like Cocorran.

The slave trade is a dark business, which is not openly advocated by all countries, and is extremely vague in the law, and the laws of some countries are even prohibited, but the actual slave trade has always existed because the nobility and the rich need it.

Cockland's slave catchers did not have a formal slave trade qualification, and perhaps he would have the opportunity to obtain this qualification when his slave catcher team became a large slave catcher or a larger slave catcher, which meant that he could openly sell slaves in countries that were not explicitly prohibited by law, hold slave auctions, and even sell slaves directly to a certain nobleman.

Usually the people who get this qualification are extremely powerful underground merchants, or some slave catchers and large slave catchers.

Duncan's own connections led to the slave markets in various cities to reject Cochran's slaves, of course, this refusal was not absolute, but a gradual process, as Duncan pressured and bought, more and more slave markets refused to allow Cochlan and his slave catchers to participate in the transaction.

And Cochran couldn't get such a good commodity as the current elf slave at that time, otherwise Duncan would definitely not be able to block it at that time, and the elf slave would definitely attract some greedy people not to look at Duncan's face.

It's a pity that there are no ifs in this world, and the time rewind in magic is only a scene that has been born in the past within a certain time range, not a real rewind.

In short, at the beginning, Corkland's team was only a medium-sized slave catcher, only about a hundred people, after a whole year of not being able to trade slaves, and having to feed those slaves themselves, the team was already facing collapse, to be honest, the others may collapse in half a year, the slave catcher team did such a dirty thing, and most of the members in it were murderers, and the lowest loyalty was recognized in various business organizations.

Cocoran supported him for a year, because his team was originally converted from a team of mercenaries, most of whom were the mercenaries who had followed him and Zanzi.

But under Duncan's oppression, Cochran could only succumb. Originally, he was forced to lose his foothold because he offended a much stronger opponent than them when he was a mercenary, and the other party deliberately targeted them, always carrying out some tasks that were contrary to or contrary to the tasks they received, thus leading them to fail one after another, and finally had to quit the mercenary world.

After quitting, Cockland worked as a bandit for a year, but the other party still refused to let them go, and took on a special mission to exterminate them and break through their base.

In the end, Cochlan began to hunt slaves, and slave hunting was more mobile, and being a robber had to be limited to a certain place, and the profit of catching slaves was higher than that of robbers.

It's just that he didn't expect to leave the wolf's den and enter the tiger's den, and was blocked by Duncan again.

Faced with the trade-off between continuing to hunt slaves and disbanding them, Cockland and Zanzi eventually joined Duncan's underground organization, which turned from an independent slave catcher into a larger organization that included slave capture, slave trade, slave training, and training.

After becoming an independent vassal, the door to the slave trade was reopened for Cocorran.

However, the price paid was that the slaves captured by Cocorland every year could no longer be sold privately, and the slaves must be reported to Duncan's slave directors in various countries after each slave capture, and the organization organized the sale, otherwise Cocorland would bear the consequences.

Of course, it is not without benefits, in the past, Coqueland's slaves could only pass through some primary markets, and at most sometimes they were lucky enough to participate in more advanced slave auctions in a few familiar cities, and after taking refuge in Duncan, the slaves they captured were usually divided into two categories by the slave supervisors in charge, one was regarded as a fine product, and would be sold to the great nobles or other places that Cocorland could not reach through the slave trade channel, and the profit was more than ten times that of Cocorran's before.

The other category is ordinary slaves, who are sold by the organization, although the profits are not as good as the former, but they are also eligible to participate in various slave auctions, which is still difficult for Cochrans to do before.

If it weren't for the fact that most of the profits were taken away by Duncan, the overall result might actually be more than when they were independent, but most of the profits were taken away by Duncan, and now they can get a little worse than when they were independent, and the only thing that can comfort them is that their income is stable, and they don't have to go everywhere to see the slave trading market as before.

But Corcoran knew that Zanzi had been reluctant because the big head had been taken away by Duncan.

Zanzi is not like Cockran, who continues to hunt slaves, and there is a big reason why if the slave hunting team is disbanded, what will happen to the old brothers who followed him before.

started a slave hunting career, although the income is good, it also means that with a black background, as long as the things you have done are known by others, it is difficult to live as a normal person, not everyone only cares about money like Duncan.

Even if they find a strange place, it is difficult for these people who are accustomed to fighting to earn income in other occupations, and doing business may lose all their savings, not to mention that Cochran knows that although his old brothers have earned a lot over the years, they have spent more, and those who don't know if they will die tomorrow usually spend the money after getting it, just like Tuxman said when he boosted his morale just now.

Zanzi is a magician, and a dark magician, and a lot of dark magic is related to the human body, and after he was noticed by the Church of Light, he simply joined the slave catcher.

He is a cruel fellow, and the slave trade will bring him a lot of money to support him to continue to become a magician, and the cultivation of a magician is very costly.

The battle during the slave hunt is also a pleasure for him, and even one of the free sources of magic mediums, if he is an undead magician, I am afraid that he will be more enthusiastic about it, but fortunately those guys have been driven to the islands of the sea or some swamp on the Big 6.

So after being annexed by Duncan, Zanzi was quite dissatisfied, because the reduction in overall income had a certain impact on his research on dark magic.

"You know how dangerous it is, we can't hide it from him when we trade slaves privately, he has connections in slave markets and auctions everywhere, and we definitely have his people in our ranks. A hint of fear flashed in Cocorland's eyes.

"If he had only secretly sold a small number of ordinary slaves, maybe he would have turned a blind eye, but now he is an elven slave. ”

"It's because we're elven slaves that I mentioned that we should sell some of them first, and we can't always let that vampire-like guy take most of them every time, this time we fought with our lives. Zanqi sneered, "Forget about ordinary slaves, elven slaves don't worry about not having a buyer at all, even if we take a certain risk, it's worth it, we can directly sell it to the nobles, or, or we can directly hold a special auction, and we can get a large amount of income by selling a part." Cochran, think about it, if this money is distributed among everyone and the equipment is updated, there will be a lot fewer deaths this time. ”

"He'll show up. "You're going to kill everyone." ”

"No, I'm helping everyone, I have a way to contact a nobleman and sell it all to his family, so that the risk will be much less. Zanzy whispered, "Promise me, Caukran." ”

"It's going to be revealed, and there must be someone else watching on our team alone. After joining the group, Cochran did not fail to see Duncan's methods, and the slave catcher who dared to sell slaves privately did not appear and suddenly disappeared, and Duncan must have planted his eyes and ears in the slave catcher.

If a few years ago Corkland had had the courage to say no to Duncan, the more he learned about Duncan's power, the less courage he had.

"I have a solution. "I've already figured out that in the next camp, we'll pretend to be an enemy, hide a third of the elven slaves, hand them over to someone we trust, and disguise them as if they were dead in the attack." You will take the rest to Free City and report it to the slave supervisor for them to receive. ”

Cocorland's eyes lit up, looking at Zanzi, and after seeing the resoluteness in the latter's eyes, he was finally moved: "Who are you going to put in charge of this?"

Seeing that he had finally persuaded Cockland, a hint of excitement appeared in Zanzi's eyes, "My apprentice Owen, Owen Solomon." ”
