Therefore, Iron Wolf immediately called a group of subordinates for a meeting to discuss, then formulated a battle plan, pretended to agree to the negotiating request of the Ithilien family, and then arranged a very insidious sealing circle in advance.
This sealing circle is called Buraxiu Mire, which can turn the designated area into a terrifying quagmire swamp where ghosts and gods Buraxiu live. Enemies in it will suffer from various negative effects. Although there is no direct lethality, but The purpose is not to kill or something, but to imprison.
More importantly, this sealing circle can be pre-arranged in the rest of the place, and then it is aimed at a certain area to cover and use it, and it will take effect quickly. In this case, no matter how the enemy checks the meeting and negotiation area beforehand, it will be useless .
In the end, the Ithilien family was successfully suppressed, and several high-level officials were trapped in the quagmire of Buraxiu, and they would not be able to get out for a while. However, the iron wolf ordered the internal response to start and let them start to create civil strife. At the same time, people outside also Start the general attack.
The Ithilien family was caught off guard, and was immediately devastated. However, the conflict between them and the mercenaries was already very intense before, so the outer defenses of the entire valley quickly fell. It retracted and entered the core area of the valley. After all, this family has been operating here for hundreds of years, so there is also a towering castle in the core area. It is almost certain to say that this castle happened to be built in St. On the ruins that appeared after the Crash of the Zergren.
And why did the Ithilien family hire mercenaries before? It is because there is not enough manpower to defend the entire valley. However, after they retreated to the castle, the area that needs to be defended has shrunk by more than ten times, so the manpower in the family is enough at once. The offensive of the Sons of Meath organization came to a complete standstill.
However, although the offensive was frustrated and failed to capture the opponent's castle in one go, Iron Wolf looked at the statistical information collected by his subordinates at this time, and his originally sinister expression suddenly disappeared, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he had been captured It was like a shot in the arm.
No wonder the Ithilien family wants to negotiate peace even if they have the family castle as their backing. It turns out that while they transformed the outskirts of the valley into a defensive fortress, several workshops and factories were built inside the valley. For a family like this, the wealth consumed every day is astronomical, and it must be supported by a steady stream of economic income, otherwise it will be drained in minutes.
It has now been found out that the most valuable property of the Ithilien family in the valley is a whetstone mine, and this is a high-quality rich whetstone mine. The high-quality whetstones produced will play an important role in the alchemy and forging industries. Wide range of effects.
Intuitively speaking, the status of this whetstone mine on the earth is roughly equivalent to the value of a titanium ore and an aluminum ore. At the same time, this whetstone is also accompanied by flash stone and flame stone, which increases the value of this rich mine by 30%.
The second most valuable thing is an alchemy potion workshop that has been in operation for more than a hundred years. It is difficult to buy medicine pools for raw materials, because it is said that a good medicine pool can even improve the quality of raw materials.
The longer the alchemy potion workshop, the better the quality of the alchemy potions produced, and it can increase the refining rate of certain alchemy potions. It is said that with Remy's assistance, this powerful potion can only be successfully refined in an alchemy potion workshop called Nanshan in Ghent, and this alchemy potion workshop has been passed down for more than a thousand years.
Then in this valley, there is also a vineyard and a winemaking workshop. The grapes used for wine production actually have high quality requirements. The soil quality and water source where the grapes are planted will cause subtle changes in the quality of the grapes, which will have a decisive effect on the taste of the wine. Therefore, even if it is the same grape variety, if it is transplanted in another place and then made in the same way, the final taste will be very different.
At this time, the thousands of bottles of wine found in the winemaking workshop are extremely good, and they are rare top-grade wines, and each bottle can be sold at a high price.
The Ithilien family not only owns rich mines, but also has alchemy potion workshops, vineyards, and winemaking workshops. It can be said that it has a whole three hens that can only lay golden eggs. No wonder they can rise and stand for a hundred years. In times of harassment, you can easily call in a large number of people to help.
And this is only their superficial strength, the real hidden strength is all in this strong castle deep in the valley! From this point of view, there is a reason why their secrets have not been revealed.
Of course, for Iron Wolf, the three hens that laid golden eggs were caught in his hands, and he felt at ease. After all, he had gambled on his credit and life savings before, but now he took The income he got is not only back to the capital, but also a small profit. More importantly, after he has obtained these tangible income, it is equivalent to having a good subject, and he can even find it. VCs are drawing big cakes...
"Brother, I started a project recently. Now the first stage of the project has been successful, and I have already made good profits. There are three rich stone mines, five hundred-year-old alchemy workshops, three wine-making workshops, and a 10,000-mu grape Garden, this is the ore and associated ore mined from the Fushi Mine. Here is the photo of the century-old alchemy workshop. Just now we drank the wine produced by the workshop. Welcome to visit at any time! I will bring 20 bottles back to my family later. Try it!"
"What? The income of the second stage, which involves ancient ruins, is at least ten times the previous income! Ah? You have to invest money, sorry, only 10% of the share, I have to save some Give soup to others, we are all brothers..."
"Twenty percent? No, no, eighteen percent at most! I really can only give 18 percent, so I still have to talk to others. Don't worry, you can give 100 percent." Don't worry, I will send the plan later, and our project will definitely be successful!"
"..."
Thus, the thing that the Ithilien family was most worried about happened, that is, the iron wolf endorsed the resources that it had robbed, successfully fooled a group of bullies, and then used the money from these bullies to deal with them. This is called burning others Take your money and do your own thing! !
…
Du Yuqi didn't take part in the next series of offensive and defensive battles around the castle, firstly because this kind of thing was a thankless job, and secondly because Du Yuqi knew that he had made two assaults and had already gained enough hatred. If he appeared on the battlefield again, he might be set on fire in an instant.
Therefore, Du Yuqi stayed behind honestly and did the work of saving lives and healing the wounded. In fact, after he successfully treated Babylon, his reputation here became quite loud, and his treatment method can be said to be cheap, economical and affordable, although It is not useful in emergency situations, but it is a very good choice after returning from injuries.
Therefore, Berserkers are the ones who come to Du Yuqi the most. Once they go into battle, they will always charge at the forefront, and they will often be seriously injured. However, because of their professional ability, their survivability is much higher. On the contrary, Xi often rushes out to fight. The absorbed mutated terra stone's power is also gradually fused together, and it can be used freely.
As time went by, the son of Ramis was not in a hurry, because under the lobbying of the iron wolf, they received a strong injection of resources, and they could spend time with each other. However, the Ithilien family side It is showing obvious decline. After all, there are more and more enemies under siege, and one side is fighting alone. There is no way to fight such a hopeless battle.
Under such circumstances, Iron Wolf and others made a plan, and even put forward a slogan, that is, those who surrender will not die, and half of the wealth and treasures carried by the first fifty people who surrendered can be kept. Let the other party believe that Iron Wolf specially made an oath under the city in the name of ghosts and gods, so that once he broke his oath, he would be swallowed by ghosts and gods.
As a result, this trick really worked. Two or three hundred people escaped directly from the castle that night. In front of everyone in the castle, he took away half of their belongings and let them go, saying that he kept his word.
