Chapter 94 Repair the Road to the Door of the Orcs
Two days later, Xu Yi, Steele, Yanis, and the ten elves that were picked out before appeared in a small town outside the Black Rice Wasteland.
The town called Zamora was also built on the Sandy River and was the closest human town to the Black Rice Plateau.
Although humans now rule almost the entire Sainz Continent, other races have not completely disappeared, and among them, the Orcs retain the strongest strength.
Although it is impossible to pose any threat to human forces, it can still control a piece of land that belongs to itself.
Of course, the Black Rice Wasteland is really of little value to the humans on the Sainz Continent, because this wasteland is really a wasteland, and there is not even a piece of land that can be cultivated. Orcs compete for such a barren land.
Although the orcs do not know magic, most of them have strong physiques and extremely strong individual combat power. If they really want to seize the living space of the orcs and force the orcs and humans to work hard, the loss is definitely not small.
Of course, no human would do such a loss-making business.
As soon as Xu Yi and the others entered this town, which was only two streets in total and less than 200 meters from east to west, President Cruise of the Amley Chamber of Commerce and Lei of the Renekton Chamber of Commerce had been waiting here for a long time. President Ersa found them and immediately greeted them.
"Sorry for making you wait for a long time." Xu Yi's apology, of course, was mainly aimed at President Leersa.
President Reelsa is sturdy, and his smile is like a bell, very heroic.
"Haha, it's nothing, we just arrived, and we are arranging the team. When President Xu and the two of you arrive, we will prepare to set off together." President Reelsa nodded to Steele beside Xu Yi, and his eyes immediately fell on Xu Yi. Yanis and the other ten elves behind her frowned slightly. "President Xu, are these elves going too?"
If it is said that the elves have seen the most in the city of Bangta. Before Xu Yi, he was definitely the president of Leelsa.
Because the Renekton Chamber of Commerce has been doing business with the orc tribe in the Black Rice Wasteland, President Reelsa often comes to the Black Rice Wasteland, and even becomes a guest of the orc tribe. In the orc tribe, I have seen the figure of the elves several times.
But because of this, he knew better than anyone that the relationship between the orcs and the elves was very bad.
Even if they don't get to the point of starting a fight as soon as they meet, they will definitely spark everywhere, and they won't even be able to communicate normally.
Xu Yi had told him that he wanted to go with his caravan to the orc tribe in the Black Rice Wasteland, but he didn't care too much, so he readily agreed.
Now he found out that Xu Yi had to take the elves with him, which would be a problem.
Xu Yi naturally saw President Reelsa's concerns and said with a smile: "President Reelsa, please don't worry. When they reach the territory of the orc tribe, these elves will temporarily use the concealment technique to become invisible. It is not necessary. will not appear.”
"That's fine."
President Reelsa nodded, and couldn't help but glance at Xu Yi with some surprise in his eyes.
This President Xu. He was able to have eleven elves as his bodyguards. As expected, he had a special relationship with the elves in the Forest of Falling Rain, just like the rumors.
He didn't know that he was completely misunderstood.
After President Reelsa and Xu Yi finished their conversation, President Cruise came over and complained to Xu Yi: "I said President Xu, there is no road from Bangta City to here, Running over here is exhausting enough for me. You made me run all the way here. If it doesn't help, then I won't do it."
Xu Yi laughed: "You're right, I asked you to come together, just to see how the road connecting Bangta City and Heimi Wasteland should be repaired."
As soon as the words fell, President Cruise, President Reelsa, and Steele stared at Xu Yi with wide eyes.
"President Xu, are you kidding me?" President Cruise couldn't help shouting loudly. "What can I do to build such a road? Is it easier for those orcs to go to our human territory and fool around?"
Xu Yi sighed. He shook his head slightly: "President Cruise, you and I have been working together for so long, don't you know that I will never do things that are not beneficial?"
President Cruise frowned and looked at Xu Yi suspiciously: "I know you don't do things that are not good. But why can't I see the benefits of building this road?"
Xu Yi looked up at the sky: "Let's talk to you slowly on the way."
The caravan of the Renekton Chamber of Commerce is mighty, with thirteen cargo carriages. Judging from the mountains of goods piled up on these carriages, the Renekton Chamber of Commerce should probably not only do business with a tribe of orcs. .
The relationship between the orcs and humans is not very harmonious. If such a caravan walks on the territory of the orcs so rashly, the possibility of encountering them will be extremely high.
Therefore, the Renekton Chamber of Commerce was different from most of the chambers of commerce in Bangta City. It set up a Chamber of Commerce escort team for this purpose, and hired a group of mercenaries as the escort of the convoy.
After Xu Yi got into the carriage, he glanced at the mercenaries guarding both sides of the convoy outside the window, and couldn't help but admire: "Just from the outside, you can tell that these guards are veteran soldiers who have experienced many battles. President Reelsa, if the escort of your chamber of commerce is pulled out, I am afraid it is not much worse than the regular army of the kingdom."
President Reelsa showed a proud smile and said: "In fact, these guards are all veterans who have retired from the Kingdom's army, and each guard's combat experience is extremely rich. I dare to say that as long as they are equipped with the same equipment as the Kingdom's army With the equipment, one of their squads can definitely destroy two squads of the Kingdom's army."
"No wonder your Chamber of Commerce has been doing business in the Black Rice Wasteland for so long, but there has never been any problem." Xu Yi praised.
"It must be a lie if there has never been a problem." President Leelsa said with a smile. "There are hundreds of orc tribes in the Black Rice Wasteland. Although our chamber of commerce has established relationships with most of the orc tribes, there are always blind orcs who will come to our door. We also Not every time it can be stopped, just four months ago, a convoy that came here was robbed by an unknown tribe of orcs. Fortunately, those orcs were smart enough to steal the goods without hurting them. People, otherwise our losses will be huge."
"Only robbing goods, not hurting people?" Xu Yi was a little strange. "Do orcs actually know the rules so well?"
"Do they dare to understand?" President Reelsa snorted coldly: "In the beginning, these orcs would hurt or even kill people when they robbed, but every time something like this happens, I will Ask the kingdom army stationed here to bloodbath the robbery orc tribes. After a lot of times, these orcs will understand the rules. Even if they rob again in the future, they will only aim at the goods and dare not hurt people. If people are taken away, at most they will ask for ransom, and if they really want to kill people, they don’t have the courage to do so.”
Xu Yi was even more surprised: "Since you don't dare to kill, don't you need to pay them ransom?"
"That's it..." President Reelsa laughed dryly. "This can be considered a rule. As long as the orcs don't kill people casually, the kingdom's army will not shoot casually. If we don't pay the ransom, the orcs won't kill people, but they won't let people go. You let the guys in the chamber of commerce be in the orc tribe. After being locked up for such a long time, even if they were rescued, they would be useless."
Xu Yi thought about it and asked, "That is to say, this kind of rule is not only aimed at the beastmen, but also at you?"
"Well, that's about it. Now the human caravans doing business with the orcs in the Black Rice Wasteland will abide by this default rule. Anyway, we make a lot of money doing business with the orcs, and occasionally a little blood It's nothing."
Xu Yi couldn't help shaking his head, thinking that the default rules of the orcs and human caravans are full of savage and backwardness. The monsters and humans are still looked down upon by humans and other races, because their civilization is too low. for the sake of.
Just when Xu Yi was about to reconsider his strategy when negotiating with the orc tribe, President Cruise came over.
"President Xu, now you can tell me, what's the benefit of building a road connecting Bangta City and Heimi Wasteland?"
Xu Yi glanced at him and pointed to President Leersa: "Let's not say anything else, at least it will definitely be good for President Leelsa."
"Of course." President Reelsa laughed. "If there is a road, our caravan can go back and forth with less effort. President Cruise, in fact, even if President Xu doesn't say, I'm already considering whether to ask you to build this for our chamber of commerce. There's a road. It doesn't need to be far, as long as it can be repaired to the town of Samara."
"Is that not far?" President Cruise glared. "I'm afraid it will be close to 100 kilometers from Bangta City to Samara Town? Even if it is only as wide as the Luyu Highway, it will cost at least 300,000 gold coins. Are you willing to pay so much?"
"300,000 gold coins... It's not too much. If you build a toll booth, even if you can't get the money back, you won't lose much." President Reelsa thought for a while, and suddenly slapped his thigh hard. "Okay, that's it! President Cruise, after returning to Bangta City, I will ask you to discuss how to build this road. What do you think?"
President Cruise and Xu Yi were stunned for a while. Originally, Xu Yi asked President Cruise to discuss how to build the road, but now it has suddenly become President Leelsa who decided to build the road?
Xu Yi thought for a while, then smiled: "President Reelsa, it's a good thing that you can realize the benefits of building a road. But when I say building a road, it should lead directly to the Black Rice Wasteland. It's not enough to go to the small town of Samara."
This time, President Cruise and President Reelsa looked at Xu Yi in surprise.
This guy actually wants to repair the road to the door of the orcs?
He is crazy!
