When President Cruz and President Relsa saw Xu Yi appearing in front of them with a group of heavily armed elves wearing powerful leather armor, they were both shocked.
President Cruz twitched the corner of his mouth, forced a smile, and stretched out his hand to President Leersa: "I am willing to admit defeat. President Leersa, please give me the money."
President Relsa stared at the elves behind Xu Yi for a while, then took out a gold coin from his arms and handed it to President Cruz, shook his head, and sighed: "President Xu is indeed not an ordinary person. It’s really eye-opening for me to actually be able to hire elves as guards.”
Seeing the actions of the two people, Xu Yi was a little confused.
"Did you make a bet?"
President Cruz smiled and put the gold coins into his pocket and put them away carefully. Then Xu Yi nodded and replied: "Well, President Relsa and I made a small bet. I bet that you can hire elves." Guard, he can't bet. Now, of course I win..."
Xu Yi was speechless, thinking that one of these two guys was almost fifty years old, and the other was over forty, how could they still have the time to bet on such a small thing.
What's even more speechless is that both of their chambers of commerce earn millions of gold coins a year. After making a bet, the bet was only a mere gold coin!
Too lazy to pay attention to the two guys who were still arguing about whether these elves were the guards of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, Xu Yi's eyes fell on a fleet of vehicles not far away and asked: "Have everything been transported?"
President Leersa then ended the argument with President Cruz and responded: "Well, these are the first batch of ore equipment we need to use. In addition to the mining magic machinery produced by your New Flying Chamber of Commerce, the Fa The Erkao Chamber of Commerce also provided a lot of other necessary equipment, and also sent several mining experts to follow us."
President Cruise and Xu Yi looked at several people in the distance who were obviously different in dress and demeanor from the guards of the Renekton Chamber of Commerce. They couldn't help but ask Xu Yi: "President Xu, are you privately What agreement has Li made with the Falcao Chamber of Commerce? Otherwise, why would President Morgan agree to help so readily and provide so much equipment this time?"
Xu Yi smiled slightly. He answered vaguely: "When I went to Anvilmar City before, I met Marquis Joseph and had a little chat with him."
President Cruz and President Relsa looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
This Xu Yi secretly reached some kind of agreement with the Joseph family without saying a word. He is really capable.
Now that everyone has arrived. The supplies were well prepared, and the group of people no longer delayed, starting from the small town of Samara and marching toward the Woller Werewolf Tribe.
This time, the three chambers of commerce are cooperating to open a mine in the Worrall Werewolf Tribe, so the materials prepared are naturally extremely abundant and of various types. Therefore, the freight convoy consisted of thirty-four large cargo carriages, plus the coachmen responsible for transporting the goods and the guards of the three chambers of commerce, the convoy was extremely large.
Prior to this, including the Renekton Chamber of Commerce, all human chambers of commerce that did business with the orcs in the Black Rice Wasteland were only reselling goods to each other. Even if they formed a caravan, they would only be a few Just a carriage. There is no way to compare with the current team.
According to President Leersa, this caravan is the largest human caravan that he has ever seen or heard of entering the Black Rice Wasteland.
If it is large, it will naturally attract more attention.
So as soon as the convoy walked out of the small town of Samara and entered the Black Rice Wasteland, the guards of the Renekton Chamber of Commerce reported that someone nearby was monitoring the convoy.
President Cruise was a little nervous when he heard the news.
"President Leersa, is the news you received true? Are there really orcs targeting us? Do you know how many orcs are targeting us? Is the threat big? We have enough guards. Use it?"
President Leersa shook his head: "I only know that some orcs are eyeing us, but I don't know which orcs they are or how many they are."
"What should we do?" President Cruz was a little worried. "What if too many orcs come and the guards can't stop them?"
President Leersa laughed: "Don't worry, the orcs today are no longer the orcs of thousands of years ago. Even if some orcs really dare to come, they won't be able to come too many. Our guards can definitely handle it. . Besides, President Xu also brought fifty elven warriors, which alone are worth hundreds of human soldiers."
After hearing these words, President Cruz felt a little relieved. He glanced at the elven warriors who were silently following the convoy on both sides of the convoy at this time, as if he had gained some comfort.
"President Xu, it would be better if you could bring some dwarf guards." President Cruz suddenly thought of a question. "By the way, I'm very surprised, why can you bring the elven guards but not the dwarf guards? Even the proud elves are willing to serve as the guards of your chamber of commerce, why are the dwarves not willing?"
Xu Yi replied helplessly: "This... I can't explain the reason for a while. In short, don't think about the dwarf guards for the time being. Even these elven warriors from the Night Song tribe are not, strictly speaking, considered us. The guards of the Chamber of Commerce can only be regarded as mercenaries."
"Then do they listen to your command?" President Leersa heard a key question.
"They will obey my orders, but the specific command is not my responsibility. After all, I don't understand how these elven warriors fight." Xu Yi replied.
"It's good if I can obey your orders. If we encounter any situation, I hope you, President Xu, will let them cooperate with the guards of our Chamber of Commerce to fight."
"Easy to say."
The journey was relatively peaceful at first, but according to the reports from the guards of Renekton Chamber of Commerce, more and more monitors appeared around.
Although these monitors did not take any action, the atmosphere in the entire caravan became tense invisibly.
According to President Leersa, when their chamber of commerce came to the Black Rice Wasteland to do business, they encountered situations where they were monitored by orcs many times. However, most of the time, the orcs retreated obediently and did not. What kind of action? Only very rarely will he actually start robbing.
But no matter which time it was, there were not as many monitors around as this time.
It can be inferred from this that not only are they making big moves this time, but the orcs may also be making big moves.
And since there is such an obvious big move, the orcs may not be willing to just retreat this time, but will choose to take action.
After hearing President Relsa's analysis, President Cruz became worried again.
He suggested that it would be better to go back and ask the Kingdom's army to assist in the escort, but was directly rejected by President Leersa.
This caravan operation is a private operation of the Chamber of Commerce and has nothing to do with the kingdom's military.
The kingdom's army will never come to protect a private chamber of commerce without orders.
Although the three of them have personal connections and abilities, they can give orders to the Kingdom's army through Earl Satsuma, but this kind of thing is indispensable. Even if the Kingdom's army can serve as a guard this time, can they also serve as a guard next time
Not to mention that the three chambers of commerce want to open mines in the Worrall Werewolf Tribe. They can't let the Kingdom's army help protect their mines all the time.
"The orcs are a race that attaches great importance to force. If we can't take this opportunity to shock all the orcs in the Black Rice Wasteland, then even if the mine is opened in the future, I'm afraid there will never be peace." President Leersa said with a look on his face. He stated his true plan seriously. "So this time, we must take this opportunity to beat these orcs so hard that they will always remember not to provoke us in the future!"
"I support it." Xu Yi expressed his attitude immediately. “Instead of being on guard every day, it’s better to take care of it once and for all.”
Both of them expressed their attitudes so clearly that President Cruise was naturally speechless and could only express his support.
According to President Leersa's experience, orcs generally have much sharper ears and eyes than humans, so they will most likely choose to rob at night.
According to the distance between the town of Salam and the Worrall Werewolf Tribe, the convoy only takes one day to get there.
Therefore, if the orcs want to rob, they have only one chance tonight.
So after Xu Yi heard this analysis, he immediately fell asleep regardless of the bumps on the carriage.
It wasn't until the evening when the convoy stopped somewhere in the wilderness to set up camp that Xu Yi woke up.
Seeing President Leersa busy directing the guards to set up camp, Xu Yi jumped out of the carriage, came to an elf from the Nightsong tribe and asked, "Hey, Furion, how's the situation?"
This elf named Fario is the leader of these fifty elf warriors.
According to the agreement reached between Elder Elusia and Xu Yi, Xu Yi can order these elves to accomplish certain goals, but the specific command will be carried out by Furion, and Xu Yi does not need to intervene.
Xu Yi naturally trusts Fario's expertise, and naturally won't point fingers at these elves, so he didn't come to ask about the situation until now.
No matter what he thought in his heart, Furion still showed great respect to Xu Yi on the surface. After giving him a salute, he replied: "Mr. President, I have smelled the stench of those orcs from the wind and felt their According to what I know about them, they should launch an attack tonight."
"Well, well, tonight you will assist the other guards in protecting the caravan." Xu Yi paused and then said: "But I hope you will give priority to protecting your own safety. It doesn't matter if the goods are gone, but If you are injured or even killed, it is an irreparable loss, do you understand?”
Furion's eyes moved slightly, and he nodded and said, "I will follow your order."
