It was a month later that Goron obtained the latest information about Hakulili. During this period, he finally reestablished contact with the Black City Guild. Of course, it was through the dark elf girl Black Lake as a medium. Speaking of which, Black Lake is really She is becoming more and more elusive. Ever since she was frightened by Dragon Rider General Rhine once, this girl no longer dared to stay with Goron so unscrupulously, but she did not leave either. However, Goron could barely catch a trace of her only when he went all out. In other words, Goron didn't know where this ghost girl was hiding most of the time.
As for the latest information on the two-headed ogre Hakulili, overall it is not good, but it is not too bad either. Hakulili is still imprisoned in the alchemy laboratory of the dwarf alchemist master Bega Punk, and may be placed on the dwarf master's alchemy test bed at any time. However, due to the efforts of the Black City Guild, even in the most critical cooperation project, that is, making substantial concessions on the new military industry trade, finally successfully aroused different voices within the Kuxiong family.
Although obtaining an ideal spouse is the lifelong desire of every cool bear, the funds involved in trade with the Black City Guild are also astronomical. As we all know, war is actually about making money, especially in the Principality of Cool Bear. The fully mechanized army is heavily dependent on new equipment, which cannot be overstated. Although the Kuxiong Principality is famous in the mainland for its prowess in war, it is not a wealthy principality. Although the funds reserved are not those of ordinary wealthy families, It's comparable, but it won't make much of a splash when thrown into the invincible whirlpool of military procurement.
It can be said that the bargaining chip proposed by the Black City Guild can at least increase the chance of winning this rebellion battle by 10 to 20%. This is already an unimaginable huge improvement. No wonder even the Grand Duke of the Kuxiong Principality is hesitant on this matter. Undecided, unable to make a decision. Although he has never agreed to the conditions proposed by the Black City Guild and handed over the two-headed ogre Hakulili, he finally bought Goron crucial preparation time.
According to the analysis of the Black City Guild Think Tank passed on by Black Lake, once the war starts, there will no longer be room for the Kuxiong Grand Duke to continue to hesitate, except for negotiation and negotiation. Several other action plans are also being implemented in an orderly manner. After all, this kind of trade concession will cause huge losses to Black City. It may even be a loss-making business, which is by no means the best choice.
After several giants in the Black City knew what Gron was doing. They all expressed their strong support. At this time, the slave trade in Black City was on the right track. Not only had perfect "purchasing" and sales channels been established in various parts of the empire, but even the first slave auction house in the imperial capital, Black Mountain, and war slaves were fighting. The market has already started to operate, and we just took the opportunity to make a huge profit from the Dragoon Regiment. Of course, the real purpose is to legitimately place a group of special "war slaves" under Gronn's men. When the group of black-handed ogres from the Gronn tribe officially settled in the Snow Needle Camp, Gronn's team was completely composed of demihumans. The Black Hand Blood Flag Legion was completely established.
At noon that day, a slave truck full of wolf half-orcs drove into the Snow Needle Camp. Goron was hiding in the secret room making sacrifices to the shaman ancestors through a simple shaman altar. The high-level universal sacrifices brought back from the abyss of hell have all been used up. These sacrifices are low-level exclusive sacrifices collected by the Black City Guild and can only be sacrificed to the shaman ancestors. This altar was jointly arranged by several shamans among the slaves. Although it is simple and rough, its most basic sacrificial function is normal. Such an altar will certainly have a great effect on sacrificial offerings. loss. But having it is better than nothing.
It's just that Goron's recent sacrifices have not caused any abnormalities. Not to mention that the consciousness of the shaman ancestors has not been summoned. Even the Lords of the Elements have not responded at all, but Goron does not care. After all, that kind of Miracles should not appear often, and the divine power in his body is also growing in an orderly manner as the number of sacrifices increases, and he is about to reach the bottleneck of the third level and the fourth level.
When he heard a carriage driving into the camp, Goron quickly stopped the sacrifice and exited the secret room, although his secret identity as a "human race" shaman should not be hidden from interested people for too long. But Goron didn't want to be exposed prematurely.
Just when Goron walked through the secret door and returned to the newly built office, the door had been pushed open from the outside, and he saw the dragon knight General Rhine rushing in.
"How come Mr. Rhine has time to come here in person? They are just a few wolf orc slaves. Just send someone to send them here as usual." Gronn is nominally the adopted son of Imperial Marshal Retusus, and his status is higher than Rhine's. The Dragon Rider General who was born into a noble family was not much better. After successfully mastering the War Slave Camp, his status and self-confidence were one step closer. At this time, he could feel calm when he saw this powerful Dragon Rider General again.
Because his long-cherished wish was successfully realized by Goron, the dragonrider general has been in a good mood recently. The look he looked at Gron was no longer as cold and mocking as before. In fact, this person is also a straight-forward guy. He has many bad things like arrogance, self-confidence, stubbornness, mysophobia, and weird hobbies that all nobles have. But there is also real talent and self-confidence that more than 99% of the nobles do not have. He is also one of the few opponents that Gron can defeat head-on without any confidence.
"It's different this time. Those wolf slaves are just a cover. I also transported a batch of heavy weapons and equipment specially designed for large-scale war slaves. If I don't control the formation myself, I might cause trouble. There's another thing. I have to tell you face to face.”
"Heavy armed!" The surprise on Goron's face could not be concealed. As I said before, although the ogre tauren and other large demi-humans are extremely powerful and thick-skinned, they are not proficient in the art of casting, and usually only They can use tree trunk stones or simply processed wooden sticks as weapons, but humans and dwarves who are proficient in forging will not specifically forge a batch of oversized weapons that they cannot use for these large demihumans. Not only that, but now The empire also strictly controls oversized weapons as prohibited items, and only allows the small-scale production of some "craft ornaments"-level equipment that are gorgeous in appearance but of extremely poor quality for use by large war slaves in the arena. King Mogar's His death was indirectly caused by this flashy weapon.
Of course, what Rhine personally escorted over was not this kind of junk. Through the window, Gron had already seen the black-handed ogre responsible for unloading taking out pieces of heavy hammers, large shields, giant axes, etc. from the bottom of the slave truck. , these weapons have only undergone the simplest processing, and even the burrs on the corners have not been carefully polished. Some weapons do not even have handles installed, but look at the dark and solid texture of these weapons, and the flickering on the blades. With the cold light, Goron knew that these weapons were specially made legion standard equipment.
However, the real value of this batch of equipment is not here. After all, their quantity is limited, and at most they can only be equipped with a mixed team of ogres and tauren. However, this gave Gronn an excellent reason to use the ogre-specific weapons produced in the underground arsenal of the Black City. As long as he was not too ostentatious, even if something went wrong, he could easily blame this person. On the body of the Dragon Rider General. There are probably not many people in the entire empire who dare to trouble this guy, and Rhine himself doesn't seem to be the kind of meticulous person who can carefully remember how many sets of equipment he gave to Gronn.
"Sir, you suddenly sent so many weapons and equipment, isn't it going to be a war?" Goron asked casually. Unexpectedly, Rhine's face instantly became extremely serious. Goron was shocked. Based on his understanding of Rhine, This guy is basically a war maniac. If there is really a full-scale war with Ku Xiong or the orc tribe of the underground kingdom, he will definitely be ecstatic, instead of the melancholy and irritable look he is now. Thinking about this batch of armaments, Goron suddenly frowned. Asked: "Sir, although heavy armaments are somewhat sensitive, the Dragoon Regiment has a transcendent status and is powerful. No one should dare to block the inspection of vehicles carrying the flag of the Imperial Dragoon Regiment. Why are you so cautious and insist on escorting it in person? "
Rhine turned his head and stared at Gron, as if he wanted to see him through. After a moment, he suddenly said: "There are people in the empire who want to be detrimental to the marshal."
"What did you say?" Goron was truly surprised this time. Retusus was already a mythical figure in his mind, and the real opponent of his dragoon regiment was no longer the mainland countries, but people from A higher-level threat from an alien plane. Strictly speaking, although it still belongs to the empire in name, it is actually beyond the empire. Who would be stupid enough to be detrimental to such a legendary existence
Thinking of this, Goron suddenly thought of Ysera, the emerald dragon, who was in a complicated and strange situation in the empire, and also thought of a word that often appeared in the story, "great achievements overshadow the master", and Goron suddenly seemed to understand something. But when I think about it carefully, something still doesn't feel right. Retusus has held the important position of marshal for several generations of kings. He usually acts low-key and is indifferent to the world. Why is it that this generation wants to attack him
The look of Goron thinking hard fell into Rhine's eyes, and he suddenly showed a relieved smile: "It seems that you really have nothing to do with this matter. Although I believe in the vision of the marshal, I have never really believed it until now. You will not harm the Marshal."
Gronn's heart skipped a beat, knowing that Rhine must have seen through his emotions and emotional fluctuations. Fortunately, Gronn only wanted to obtain information about his mother from Retusus, and he also had an inexplicable affection for Ysera. , there was no hostility, and it actually helped him get through the difficult situation unintentionally. People like Rhine usually seem careless and indifferent to trivial details, but in fact they are rough and detailed, shrewd and wise. If you are not careful with him, you may be seen through at any time. (~^~)
