All in all, the more than a year after Goron disappeared can be said to be the golden period for the development of Laojie and Tajin Chamber of Commerce, but the good things did not last long...
As the mainland's famous large-scale organizations, mercenary groups, magicians' associations, thieves' unions, etc. gradually noticed the emerging wealth of Luochao Port, more and stronger guild organizations have stationed in Luochao Port, bringing new vitality and also It has brought more leaders from all walks of life.
The president of the Luochao Port Chamber of Commerce and the mayor of Luochiao Port, who had been unable to retreat before, finally hired professional bodyguards with a higher level than the dark elves. The black-handed ogre's thug group also encountered a powerful force mainly composed of tauren and strong orcs. Opponents, when the merchants found that they no longer had to fear the deterrent threats of Lao Cai and the Tarkin Chamber of Commerce, all the old accounts of Lao Cai were revealed again. Some people wanted to seek revenge on these women, and some people took contracts to prove where they were. Which beautiful woman was the slave who escaped from them? Some people even looked at a certain girl with lustful eyes, while swearing that this girl was their own flesh and blood who had been lost for many years, and strongly demanded that the old man Street immediately returned it and was responsible for compensating a certain amount of gold coins..., top, point, novel... .
Since meeting Gron, the word "submission" has been completely eliminated from the big boss's dictionary, so naturally, the second "war of the sexes" broke out...
The women of the old street use their fearless fighting spirit and fresh and tempting bodies to teach those rogue prostitutes who are unwilling to follow the rules set by the old street, in order to defend their last dignity and spiritual purity. What they paid for was their young and beautiful lives. At this time, the young ogres of the Black Hand tribe also joined the battlefield, after experiencing the baptism of years and disasters. There are small half-ogres who are considered adults at this time. Coupled with the cutting-edge new weapons provided by the secret arsenal of goblin merchants, although the Blackhand Ogres caused the opponent to pay ten times or even dozens of times as many casualties as their own, it did not improve the situation of the war. Just like the bloody Just like on the eve of the night, Lao Cai and the Tajin Chamber of Commerce have accumulated unimaginable wealth, and Lao Cai is well-trained and extremely skilled in "professional skills". The woman who is a living gold mine, and even those "ogre slaves" and the rumored secret arms business of the Chamber of Commerce, these temptations once again made everyone lose their minds. We must conquer the old street and the Tarkin Chamber of Commerce at all costs. As a result, more mercenary groups, more local forces and outsiders joined forces to join in, and fierce and cruel bloody battles were launched in the streets and alleys of Luochao Port...
in this harsh situation. The big boss Cassandra and the goblin businessman Tarkin Hillman finally made a last resort decision. Give up all the wealth, land and real estate that cannot be taken away, withdraw from the Low Tide Port, and then concentrate all efforts to hold on to the last position - the "Haunted Gold Mine".
Although the goblin merchants did not over-strengthen the outer defenses of the haunted gold mine because they did not want to attract too much attention and expose the secret military factory and ancient underground labyrinth, the layers of hidden defenses deployed secretly also made this place a terrifying place. Defensive fortress, in the following months, the Haunted Gold Mine became the largest meat grinder on the Haishiwan Peninsula. It consumes every drop of flesh and blood and every ounce of strength on both sides.
The dark elf girl Black Lake and Balu Blackhand, the temporary leader of the Blackhand ogres, whom Gronn did not see, were in a coma due to severe injuries. They were all injured in the battle against the opponent's high-level combatants. However, what surprised those greedy attackers the most was the super weapon produced by the secret military factory of the goblin merchants - the "Portable Cannon Mortar for Giants (Ogres)". This new type of weapon was designed and customized by the Kuxiong Principality. The power of the secret weapon is dozens or hundreds of times that of ordinary spears and muskets. Even high-level defensive warriors can be knocked down with one shot. Other combat professions, whether they are archers or magicians, can be shattered to pieces with one shot. Although these mobile artillery are slightly less powerful than old-fashioned artillery, they have mobility and continuous fire capabilities that old-fashioned artillery cannot match. They have the potential to change the battlefield and even change the pattern of war in the world. It is precisely because of this weapon that the large and bulky ogres are no longer a living target for magicians and archers on the battlefield. They can only be active human shields on the front line, but become mobile death forts.
"With such a terrifying weapon, why did it fall into this situation again?" Goron couldn't help but interjected. If it weren't for his sudden return, the Haunted Gold Mine might have been lost. And Gronn is so concerned about this portable artillery because this weapon is one of his hopes against the Fairy Tale Circus.
"Because we are running out of ammunition and food, my friend..." the goblin merchant said with a wry smile on his face: "When we are finally about to beat those greedy scoundrels in Low Tide Port into submission, you saw before The group of men in black suddenly appeared. The big boss and I even suspected that they were the masterminds behind this incident. They were stronger than any opponent we had encountered before, but they were besieged by that group of rogues. In a few months, our ammunition has been exhausted. Although the factory is still there, the black oil and ore used to produce weapons and ammunition are gone. The battle you saw has used up our last survival. If the weapons and ammunition If there are more, hey, whoever comes will be blown to pieces. The gold coins are on top. Ammunition is victory, and victory is money, my friend.”
"Why don't you ask the Cool Bear Family for help?" Gronn asked with a frown. He already knew that it was because of the intervention of the Cool Bear Family that they had previously captured and imprisoned the young Baron Duron Positafa Nixon. Only then was he forced down. From the few words of the goblin merchant, Goron saw how simple and crude the methods of the legendary Kuxiong family were, even unreasonable. Facing one of the seven principalities of the Holy Beast Alliance, the Kuxiong Principality, which is famous for its roughness and power, the Nixon family, which is not qualified to compete with it in all aspects, swallowed all the bitter pills without saying a word, even symbolic public condemnation. None of the set procedures for complaining to the Imperial Council of Elders were done.
"The best way to deal with a noble is to use another more ancient and noble noble." This is also a saying that has been circulating in the Blade Tower continent for a long time.
With the way the Kuxiong family behaves and the importance they attach to the secret arsenal of the haunted gold mine, there is no reason to be indifferent to the situation here. Although the Kuxiong family of northern bears is known for being ferocious, warlike, and murderous. But their reputation does not include "betraying allies" and "abandoning partners without reason". The behavior of the Northland Bear family can be seen from the previous incident with the Nixon family.
"It's not because of these artillery..." The goblin merchant smiled bitterly again: "These new weapons were originally a secret weapon prepared by the Kuxiong family to be unveiled at a critical moment. But we were forced into a desperate situation and used these weapons without permission. Parchment cannot contain the flames of the arms that have not yet been delivered. Although there is no evidence that the arms in my hand are related to the Kuxiong family, gunpowder steam-powered weapons are the most important in the Dota Continent today, and they are also the most technologically advanced. The most widely used country is the Kuxiong Principality, and this cutting-edge portable artillery can only be designed by the talented dwarf alchemist master Bei Dixiong. Therefore, let alone count on the assistance of the Kuxiong family. It's not surprising that they are adding insult to injury and even sending secret troops to suppress us and destroy all evidence. In fact, this is what the big boss and I are most worried about now. These, the last few hairs on my head are starting to tremble~~~!”
Goron shook his head, temporarily putting aside these troublesome things that he didn't know how to solve, and said impatiently: "Okay, okay, you have said so much, I probably have an understanding of the situation, but You still haven’t revealed the whereabouts of my family and the activities of the Fairy Tale Circus.”
"This... OK, I say..." The goblin businessman had a strange expression on his face. He hesitated and said: "The fairy tale circus you asked me to keep an eye on also left shortly after the survey corps evacuated. It is said that they were going to the next town to do a tour. They left by boat overnight and waited for me to get the news. By that time, there was only a piece of open space left there, and we didn’t know where their destination was. The fleet that took them away happened to have a holiday with us, but you don’t have to worry, I believe that as long as we can sail that ship The boss will find out after arresting her and interrogating her. This is not an important secret. As for your mother... Well, that's the case. I received the Auschwitz auction shortly after you left. The invitation to the meeting was held on a 10,000-ton luxury liner. The gold coins were on top. I took all my wealth to attend the auction and planned to buy your mother, but... ..”
"But what!"
"Okay, okay, don't get excited yet. Listen to me, your mother did appear at the auction as the final auction item. Oh my God, although she doesn't fit in with our goblin aesthetics at all, I still have to say, she really It's so beautiful. I can't find any words to describe her beauty. My friend, she is the only goddess who can compete with gold coins. Originally, I was still hesitating whether it was worth spending so much money, but after seeing it in person After seeing your mother, I’m willing to spend all the money even if the gold coins are on my side... "
"Please get to the point!" Goron had to interrupt the goblin businessman who was talking more and more nonsense: "I just want to know right away, where is my mother now and how is she?"
"... I lost... That is indeed a great shame for my pride as a goblin, but I still have to admit that I failed in the bid. I am ready The funds didn’t even last through the first two rounds of bidding, and our partner, Marcus? The Pride of Thunder? Cool Bear, from the Cool Bear family also participated in the bidding. It can be seen that he was seeing your mother’s I fell deeply in love with her at first sight. As for the height difference, it is not a problem. I heard that the "Kings of the Hill" of the Kuxiong family were too big and often struggled to find someone who could give birth to them. Women who give birth to children are worried... Okay, okay, I know I'm going too far again, so I'll continue, but even with the wealth accumulated by the Kuxiong family, they still lost to the Qianyang Empire in the last two rounds of bidding. The Seventh Pharaoh and Councilor Sangils of the Black Blood Council.”
"Why are the dark elves in the desert kingdom and the dungeon involved? No! That's not what I want to know. I just want to know the whereabouts of my mother? Tell me, who took her away in the end?"
"Probably... It's the Holy Beast Alliance... The auction didn't go to the end. Just when those big shots raised the bidding price to a sky-high price, the Grand Marshal of the Holy Beast Alliance protects the country. , Emerald Dragon Grand Duke Letusus suddenly descended from the sky with his Heavenly Dragon Knights. Oh my God, can you imagine the scene of hundreds of giant dragons surrounding the ship? I still feel trembling all over when I think about it. ... Those dragon knight gentlemen want to confiscate all the 'auction items' on the grounds that the auction violates imperial laws. Of course, even a fool can know that their real purpose is only your mother. Although there are some big shots here, but No one can say no in front of the Grand Marshal who protects the country, so... "
"So they took my mother away..." Goron said with some despair. Although he now knew the whereabouts of his mother, the result made him even more desperate. If the fairy tale circus was something he could not defeat If it is a huge behemoth, then the Imperial Protector General, the legendary legendary hero Retusus is already a pure character in the story, and Gronn can't even feel the reality.
"There is another thing that is quite strange..." After Goron fell into deep thought, the goblin merchant suddenly crossed his arms again and whispered to himself: "Your mother was in a strange state at that time, she seemed A little confused, yes... It's like being hypnotized in a circus performance... My goblin intuition tells me that there must be something wrong here... "
The situation could not get any worse, but Goron cheered up again. He lowered his head and asked in a deep voice: "Then my sister and brother... Hakulili... do you have them?" News?"
"...I heard that in the famous Valkyrie Arena in the Three Kingdoms of the North, there has been a unique two-headed ogre gladiator that has been very active in recent years, although it is not confirmed who she is. It’s not your Hakulili, but at least judging from the image description in the rumors, the possibility is still very high, and this is the only news at present.”
"The Three Kingdoms in the North...the Grand Marshal Protecting the Country..."
Seeing Goron's depressed look, Cassandra, the big boss who had been listening silently, suddenly felt a little distressed. She now knew Goron's secret, but this did not affect her feelings for the child. Although in the eyes of the world The ogres in the world are all evil, dirty, cruel and violent creatures, but in the eyes of women like them, they have already known and seen things that are a hundred times uglier and more terrifying. The black-handed ogres who never leave the old street are even cuter.
"By the way, why did you forget this?" Cassandra, who suddenly remembered something, suddenly took Goron's hand like a little girl and started running with him.
"Follow me! I'll show you something good!" (To be continued...)
