The nobles and villains in the building finally slept peacefully for a few hours. When the sky got slightly brighter, Lunsi left in a hurry, trying to find a way to make the difference. The rest of the people finished washing up and put on their professional smiles to start a new day of torture. No one took the theft last night seriously, and it was worth losing a piece of fire diamond in exchange for peace in the future. After all, no one really saw it. After passing the "Immortal Fountain of Youth", I didn't know that each "Immortal Fountain of Youth" looks different, so it is normal to steal the wrong one.
As for Ete, who is a master of both magic and martial arts, during this period he only focused on grooming himself, seducing Isabella, and secretly looking for flowers and asking for Willow God's Hammer. Everyone tried to persuade him several times but to no avail, so that was all.
When a few people arrived at the "Hammer of War", they saw Ofiloch's carriage parked at the door. They couldn't help but wonder, why did he come so suddenly so early in the morning
Ofiloch and Elesis had been sitting in a small reception room on the third floor of "Hammer of War" for a while. A beautiful maid who was still a little sleepy had just made coffee and brought it to her, with some snacks on the plate. Seeing the three noble villains, Faith and Wu Huan come in and sit down, Ofiloch coughed lightly... Elesis, look, are you going to pick out something you like? "
With a sound, Elesis stood up and said coldly: "What you are talking about must not be a good thing! Men in the world are all the same!"
Several nobles and villains felt quite sad. The ones chosen by Elesis were all the best of the best, and she never paid. Although Ofiloch suffered the most losses, the Golden Lion made a clear distinction between public and private matters in this matter: either the losses were shared according to the proportion of investment. , or you can ask her for money yourself. Anyone who has dealt with Elesis knows that she has no concept of money at all. If you ask her for money, even if she doesn't fall out, there will be no money to give. If you wanted to get your hands on her collection of magical items, it might be easier to snatch a dragon.
After Elesis left, Ofiloch looked unexpectedly embarrassed and just immersed himself in drinking coffee. After three cups of coffee in a row, the pot was already empty. He poured it over and over and couldn't pour anything out. Then he sat upright, looked out the window, coughed a few times and said, "Have you made a good ring recently?" "
Everyone suddenly realized that this was why they came. It's just that Ofiloch has a strong fighting spirit and is young and strong, so why would he need this? Everyone immediately began to think of going to the crooked place. Could it be that he was an embroidered pillow? Even more unbearable thought: "It seems that this Elesis has really experienced harm. Even the golden lion can't subjugate her. Given time, she won't be sucked into a lion and fucked..."
Seeing that everyone's expressions were getting weirder and weirder, Ophellok snorted coldly, showing murderous intent, and the room suddenly felt chilly. Everyone hurriedly sorted out the messy thoughts in their minds and sat upright. Ofiloch then spoke, but as soon as he spoke, he stuttered again: "My father is very interested in this ring... I want to have one. I wonder if a new one has been made?"
Everyone never expected that the Grand Duke of Bavaria would be attracted by this "Fountain of Youth", and they were surprised and couldn't help but feel a little happy. Faith hurriedly said: "Now there is a new one, which can be successfully made tomorrow. The effect should be much better than the first two."
Ofiloch just nodded. My father has agreed to grant the 'Hammer of War' the right to operate military weapons, and has designated the Lionheart Knights and my Golden Lion Knights to specifically purchase equipment from 'Hammer of War'. Because there might be a war with the Duke of Ron, my father was also planning to build a road to Sellersburg at the expense of the principality's treasury. "
Everyone in the room was overjoyed. The value of these promises was far greater than a mere Immortal Fountain of Youth. After being overjoyed, Rogge tentatively asked: "Lord Ofiloch, are there other requirements behind this?"
Ofiloch nodded. Within this year, my Golden Lion Knights will expand to 100 people, and the Lionheart Knights will expand to 1,000 people. These people are preparing to purchase their equipment from 'Hammer of War', so the top priority is how to produce these equipment on schedule. Counting three months of intensive training, we only have nine months. And there are at least five sets of captain's equipment that Faith needs to build himself. "
Faith's head immediately became as big as a bucket, and he shouted: "It takes fifteen days to make a 'Fountain of Youth' ring. I can't finish the order just for it. How can I have time to make other things?"
"That's what I'm saying. I also understand the recent situation of the 'Hammer of the God of War'." Ofiloch pondered for a moment and said: "Then let's do it. It is announced that this 'Fountain of Youth' will take two months to create. , when the time comes, all companies will bid together, and the one with the highest price will get it. Faith, you can make two of them every two months, and the extra one will be secretly supplied to the royal families of the major empires. This will make it easier to do business in the future. Regarding the nobles, , of course I will come forward to deal with it. But no matter what, the order for the Knights of the Principality must be completed within nine months. No matter what method you use, it’s okay to steal and rob, as long as you do it cleanly. If you really need it, I will The Golden Lion Knight can also be secretly transferred to your small team."
Ofiloch looked around and saw that everyone was a little confused. He sighed and said: "We are all outsiders. The principality is in a delicate situation and is full of difficulties. The major weapons workshops in the Rhine League are now unwilling to provide military supplies to the principality. The equipment, on the contrary, is that David's second knighthood, the Knights of the Wolf, plans to expand to 3,000 men within three months, and the equipment has already been ordered. He is now directly accepting the orders of his father, Marshal Rochelio, Minister of Military Affairs, My father also has nothing to do with him. At present, I am using the excuse of going to war with the Principality of Ron to openly expand the army. I think Louis IX has nothing to do with me, but there is a problem with the equipment at hand, so I can only leave it to you. After that In three months, the Temple Knights appointed by the church will come to the principality, and the situation will be much more stable by then."
He paused and then said: "The alliance army is different from the principality. It has not fought in several years. It is now poorly trained and equipped. It will take at least a year to expand the army, train and prepare for war. So we have time to expand the army. It's still plenty. My father will be loyal throughout his life and will never betray the alliance. But I don't want to tie my hands, so I strengthen my troops a little to protect myself. But I think the other party won't wait for it. There is a saying in the art of war. When encountering a strong force, If you want to defeat the enemy, cut off their minions and wings, and then we can decide in one battle. As for my minions and wings, hehe, apart from the Golden Lion Knights, it’s you."
Having said that, Ofiloch turned around with a smile on his face: "You must be careful in the three months before the arrival of the Temple Knights. Strength and strategy are the basis for survival, but I may not be able to take care of you. "
Everyone was speechless after hearing this. However, the situation was not in their control. They had all been tied onto the chariot of the principality. It was too late to get off at this time. What's more, although the Rhine Alliance seems to have the upper hand in this battle, the principality is protected by a miracle, which is what the people want, and there is the support of the powerful Holy Court behind it. The Grand Duchess is still the orthodox bloodline of the royal families of the three empires. Speaking of which, There is still a good chance of winning. But even though that's what they say, the chance of winning is a matter for the Grand Duke of Bavaria and Ofiloch. The top priority for me, a fisherman like myself, is how to survive these few months in the cracks of the major forces.
He took a sip of coffee as a habit, but it was empty. Only then did Ofiloke remember that a pot of coffee had gone into his stomach. He smiled bitterly and shook his head, feeling a little helpless that his father was still thinking about the 'Fountain of Youth' at this time. It seems that the Grand Duke has grown old and no longer has the magical powers and strategies he once had.
Ofiloch looked at several people one by one, nodded and said: "You are all very good, and your strength has improved greatly. Isn't Lens here? I heard that he seems to be a little worse. As for that Etter , dual cultivation of magic and martial arts is just a joke! He still has time to concentrate on practicing martial arts, magic is not suitable for him. Okay, that's all I have to say. By the way, your Dragon and Beauty Knights can be expanded to 500 people. The duchy will allocate you 30,000 gold coins for military expenses at a cost of 100 gold coins per person, so you must make good use of it."
After Ofiloch left, the hut fell into an unspeakable silence.
Among the original five scum, Aite, who was so happy with his achievements, had long since resigned himself to the level of a fifth-level swordsman and a fourth-level mage for a long time. Lens has not made much progress either. Apart from becoming increasingly proficient in traps, his real strength has not improved much. He is still only a sixth-level thief now. Only Rogge, Kate, and Franco practiced hard and worked hard day and night. Kate has the highest level and has reached level ten, making her one of the intermediate knights. Franco's fighting spirit has also reached level nine. Although Rogge is still far away from being a ninth-level mage, he has a variety of tricks, terrifying equipment, and improved mental power. His mental shock is hard to guard against, and he has a ***. If you really want to talk about it, he is the strongest in actual combat. .
The downstairs gradually became noisy, and a busy day began again.
Since the news of the non-public bidding for the 'Fountain of Youth' a month after the secret release of 'Hammer of the God of War', business has slowly returned to normal. But a few nobles and villains became even more busy.
First, Faith's safety must be guaranteed. Now, no matter day or night, there are always ten "Dragon and Beauty" knights stationed in that small building. As for the small backyard, it is full of institutions and has long been known as the 'Tomb of Thieves' throughout the underground world of the principality. Afraid of Ofiloch's power, the Thieves Guild of the Principality has long restricted its members not to attack the 'Hammer of War'. As for the thieves who come from abroad because of their limited strength, they will die in vain if they enter. Really high-level thieves don't bother to steal these gemstones and raw materials. Besides, these are all semi-finished equipment, which are of little use even if stolen. It is really difficult for other alchemists to imitate the things made by Faith. Therefore, the most precious thing is Faith himself.
A few nobles and villains understood this truth a long time ago. At that time, everyone racked their brains and armed Faith to the teeth. In addition to standard magic accessories, the coat and cloak specially designed by a master tailor has numerous hidden compartments filled with various magic scrolls. Just in case, even a lightning scroll was sewn on his underwear. Originally, Faith was not very eye-catching, so these arrangements were of no use, so Faith only placed one or two scrolls to recharge. But the world is different now, and everyone is forcing Faith to fill the secret room with magic scrolls. As for whether he is comfortable or not, he can't care so much.
As for the mist, I might as well live in the 'Hammer of the God of War'. There will always be a Knight of the Round Table stationed there, and most people would not dare to make random decisions.
It is not trivial to build a military products business from scratch. The ironmaking workshop in Sellersburg has not yet been completed, and building the access road did not take a day or two in the past. It would take at least three months before a light freight carriage could barely move. However, since there are abundant raw materials, everyone is simply planning to build a weapons workshop in Sellersburg. At that time, only the finished swords and armor will need to be shipped out, which are much lighter than iron ore or even steel ingots. By then the roads had been basically repaired and transporting them out was no longer a problem.
In this way, the original more than one hundred coolies were completely insufficient. Rogge had already sent Robosky out to acquire another four hundred strong coolies.
Food also became a big problem. The territory of Sellersburg is sparsely populated, the roads are inconvenient, and there is not much surplus food. With so many people suddenly added, it becomes a big problem for people to eat horse chews every day. Rogge urgently sent a message to Doyle. As a training course for more than 200 bandits, each person must carry sixty kilograms of various foods to Sellersburg. Although it doesn't help much, it at least solves an urgent need. As for the bandits’ future training courses, hunting will definitely be the focus.
The expansion of "Dragon and Beauty" is not a big problem. If this group of bandits is trained, there should be about 400 people. The rest can be added slowly in the future. Lens promised to recruit a group of killers, thieves and scouts from the Thieves Guild. Under the gaze of everyone's murderous eyes, he hurriedly swore that he would not make any mistakes this time, and then he passed the test. As for the places that are still missing, I am busy with everything in front of me, so I can't take care of so many.
However, a big question that could not be avoided soon came to mind. Where can those skilled craftsmen find them? After seeing the standard swords and armors sent by the Golden Lion Knights and the Lionheart Knights, the noble villains became worried. These equipment are of fine quality and fine workmanship, and cannot be made casually by ordinary blacksmiths. In "Hammer of War", only Jin and his few dwarf disciples are qualified. What should people do
Most of those master blacksmiths are monopolized by the major weapon workshops, and a few of them have their own assistants. They cannot be hired, or the price is too high. Everyone discussed and discussed, and the only solution was to buy dwarf slaves. But during this period, according to the news that Robosky received from slave markets in various places, the number of dwarf slaves was not large, and there were even fewer suitable ones. After searching around, I could only buy nine dwarf craftsmen, which was just a drop in the bucket. Everyone couldn't think of any other solution for a while, they could only worry.
After a few days in such a hurry, Robosky came back in a dusty state and immediately spent the night discussing with Rogge and others. The next night, Rogge and others swaggered to Helen, went straight to the top floor, and rented a small room. After a while, the door opened, and a lean man in ordinary clothes walked in and sat down on the table in a grand manner. He waved his hand, and several bodyguard-looking figures behind him went to guard the door and closed it tightly.
Robosky introduced: "This is Mr. Cato, the largest slave trader in the northern part of the Alliance. The three bosses here are Mr. Kate, Mr. Franco and Mr. Rogge."
After a few people exchanged courtesies, the topic quickly turned to the issue of dwarf slaves. Cato suddenly looked embarrassed. There were very few dwarf villages around the alliance. A hundred years ago, five dwarf kings jointly reached an agreement with human countries and declared the dwarf slave trade illegal. The source of dwarf slaves has always been a problem, so right? You can make some changes..."
Rogge and others looked at each other, and Kate went straight to the point: "The casting skills of an adult dwarf craftsman must be equivalent to that of a high-level human blacksmith. We need a hundred of them in total, each worth 500 gold coins. How about that?"
Cato was immediately moved. Normally, such a dwarf craftsman only cost more than a hundred gold coins, but Kate more than tripled the price. How could he not be tempted? He swallowed and sighed, of course I want to do a big deal. All the slave merchants in the Rhine Alliance may not have ten goods in stock that meet your requirements. Of course not counting the nine dwarves you have already bought. To be honest with you, I am just the manager of this business. I will report it to the boss as soon as possible, and the boss should be able to find a solution. "
At this time, the door of the room was pushed open, and a bold voice laughed: "What can I do?" Following the words, a fat and huge body squeezed in from the door. Kate and Franco immediately recognized this person. It's Jing Ge, the manager of 'Helen'!
Cato immediately stood up and said respectfully: "Boss!"
Jing Ge glanced at him, his smile did not diminish, and his eyes became more serious: "Haha, you have been very good recently. You brought the guests to 'Helen'. When you come up, you will brag for me first. If I can't do it, Come on, how can I explain to the guests that these distinguished guests have an extraordinary relationship with me, otherwise, hum!"
The last heavy snort made Cato tremble in fright. When Jing Ge waved his hand, he ran away like he was pardoned by the emperor.
Jing Ge had the most sincere smile on his face again, and he squeezed his body into the widest chair with great effort, breathing heavily: "The servants are ignorant and have neglected several big bosses. Me too. I just got the news and came over immediately. Come, come, drink, drink. If my Mr. Stanich knew how I treated these few people, he would definitely turn all the fat in my body into oil, hahaha! This one must be It's Mr. Rogge. When we first met, my master mentioned you every day. Now that we meet you, you are indeed young and promising."
Several people were surprised and confused. When Jing Ge saw them, he lowered his voice and said: "My master has taken the bosses of the Hammer of War, especially Mr. Rogge, as confidants. I will not treat them as outsiders. Mr. Stanich is rich." But how can it be possible for an enemy country to rely solely on this meager grain business? A horse will not be fat if it does not eat night grass!"
The three of them suddenly understood and thought deeply about it, so they brought up the issue of the dwarf slave again.
Jing Ge was also a little embarrassed. What Cato said was also the truth. It is estimated that there will not be many dwarf slave craftsmen in the next six months. but… "
The three of them thought that he was also taking the opportunity to raise the price. Kate immediately said: "I also know that there are not many dwarf craftsmen. How about this, you just say a price and we see if we can accept it, how about it?"
Jing Ge was startled and then laughed again: "Mr. Kate is serious. If Master Stanich knows that I am making money from several people, he will kill me. The lack of dwarf craftsmen is a fact, and I must take the opportunity to raise the price." . But according to the latest news I got, in the Kafka Mountains in the Principality of Ron, a hill dwarf tribe has recently moved in, with an estimated number of about a thousand people. You know, although the craftsmanship of the hill dwarves is not as good as that of the mountain dwarves They are so famous, but they are also very outstanding craftsmen, so I think they should be able to meet your requirements. It's just that it's very difficult for such a large dwarf tribe of thousands of people to finish it off in one go without any sound."
Rogge's heart moved and he asked: "I wonder where the difficulty lies?"
"Mr. Rogge must have asked knowingly, haha. Humans and the dwarf kings have an agreement not to capture dwarves as slaves. So if we want to do it, we must do it secretly and not let a single dwarf go! But this tribe of thousands of people, In terms of combat power, it is no less than five hundred first-class knights. If you want to annihilate them all at once, you will need the combat power of more than a thousand first-class knights. Not afraid of a few people laughing at you, the villain's slave-catching team only has more than 700 people. , and most of them are outside, and there are only about 300 people who can be quickly mobilized and put to use. Although the villain and other retainers are very skilled, they are only equivalent to 600 knights in all calculations. The other people are as fast as It can be transferred back after half a year. The gap in combat power is really difficult to make up. In addition, we are fighting deep inside the territory of the Principality of Ron, and the surrounding area is densely populated. The combat power equivalent to a thousand knights is absolutely necessary."
Franco coughed. If we give you the strength of these four hundred knights, so what? "
Jing Ge thought about it for a long time, then raised his head and said: "If this is the case, we can go out in one and a half months, and we can solve this tribe within half a month. At that time, you will pick a hundred dwarves first, and the rest will be mine. Reconnaissance , leave the information and supplies to me."
The three of them looked at each other and nodded slowly. Women and children in the dwarf tribe are at least half the number. In the thousand-person tribe, there are no more than 150 highly skilled craftsmen. The remaining slaves are only worth some money if they are strong warriors. However, during slave hunting, most of these warriors often died in battle. Therefore, Jing Ge's arrangement really gave the three of them a huge advantage.
Rogge was a little confused and asked: "Master Jing Ge, are you at a disadvantage?"
Jing Ge burst out laughing, his eyes were filled with fat, and he pretended to be mysterious and whispered: "Money is far less important to my Mr. Stanich than a friend. To be honest, my Mr. I am particularly interested in Mr. Rogge’s talent, and I intend to betroth my only daughter to Mr. Rogge!”
Rogge pictured Stanich's face and fat body in his mind. Thinking of his daughter, he couldn't help but feel a chill. He hurriedly said: I must thank Mr. Stanich for your kindness. I am of low ability and mediocre appearance. A young lady who is worthy of Lord Stanich, haha, Lord Jing Ge has to decline for me no matter what, hehe. "
Jing Ge stared at Rogge for a long time, until the little fat man became restless, and then he looked away. It was a big deal to hide his smile. I wonder if some of you are willing to cooperate? And how sure are you? As far as I know, your 'Dragon and Beauty' knight brigade currently only has 200 knights, so where did the other 200 knights come from? "
The three of them thought about it over and over and made up their minds. Rogge said: "It is not difficult to deal with the combat power of two hundred knights. Don't worry, there will only be more, not less." As he said, Rogge narrowed his eyes, stared at Jing Ge and said: "But how can we Do you know whether I should believe what you say?" In his narrowed eyes, a few strands of silver light flashed from time to time. Since Rock's mental power has been achieved, whenever he exerts his mental power, his eyes will gradually turn silver-white, and when he reaches full strength, he will completely turn into silver eyes. Fortunately, his eyes were not big to begin with, and he always had a smile on his face, and his eyes were narrowed to just a slit. A trace of silver light leaks out, and it is not easy for people to notice.
Jing Ge said: "It is human nature for Master Rogge to have such concerns. But at this sensitive time, my master is willing to cooperate with the 'Hammer of the God of War' in this business. I think the meaning has been expressed clearly enough. If several of you I still have doubts. My master can meet with the adults here in person in two days to finalize the decision. What do you think?"
Rogge immediately said: "Okay, let's do it!"
In the car returning to the Hammer of War, Franco first asked: "At this time, how do we know this is not a trap?"
Rogge said: "Stanich turned out to be a big slave trader. I really didn't expect this. The meaning behind Jing Ge's words has already made it clear that our backstage is Ofilok, and our current situation is delicate. This batch of dwarf slaves is urgently needed. Why should we be cautious in the Principality of Ron? Isn't it because we are from the Principality and have a big problem with the Ice and Snow Silver Fox Mercenary Group? If he can say this, it means that Stanich is optimistic about the Grand Duke. And Ofiloch, we have to place our bets on this side. Only then will he help us regardless of gains and losses. In this way, he will show good intentions to Ofiloch without exposing himself. When the overall situation is determined in the future, because of his The slave business has helped us in the most difficult times, and maybe we can continue. At least we won't be punished for this business."
Kate sighed and added: "And his willingness to come forward shows his determination to support the principality and his strength. He doesn't care about our intention to frame him. Franco, you should spend less time on art and more time." The time should be spent on strategic swordsmanship. Aite and Lens are not up to par. If you also lose your mind by playing with things, it will be really difficult for us."
Franco's face turned red, and he sighed after a while.
Rogge was silent for a while and then said: "The origin of this Jing Ge is not simple. He is a demon! And he is very powerful."
Kate and Franco were horrified and asked in surprise: "There are really demons? How did you know? Are you sure you saw it correctly?"
Rogge nodded, looked out the car window at the lead-colored sky in winter, and said to himself: Family, this game seems to be getting more and more interesting! ” (Quanben Novel Network www.QuanBeN-XiaoShuo.com)
