"Cockland, we have to get to Modo quickly, we have to add more." Zanqi said.

"Well, yes, there is not much food and water anymore. Fortunately, we died a lot of people, and the rest is enough to support us to arrive at Liberty City. It would be great if there was a space ring." Cockland sighed, with a hint of hot color in his eyes. If there was a piece of space equipment, he could store more supplies and provide the slave hunting team with longer hunting time.

Unfortunately, the space equipment is expensive and rare. Even if Cockland and others are affiliated with a very powerful organization, it is still difficult to obtain at their level, unless it is the group or the top one or two slave hunting teams that are ranked first.

"Have you ever thought about it?" Zanqi's voice suddenly became even lower, so subtle that only Cockland and him could hear it clearly. "I mean, since there are so many elves this time, we will sell some of them first and hand over the rest?"

Cockland's face changed as if he was stung by a scorpion, "Are you crazy? Selling slaves privately. If the general group finds out, you and I will die."

"This time the casualties are so big, we need to add them. It is easy to recruit some people, but that is not someone who is loyal to us, and even the general group may send some people down."

Cockland's face changed again. Zanqi was talking about the truth. Although he gained a lot, the team suffered such great casualties, so it was inevitable that he needed to recruit.

The recruitment of the slave hunting team is usually through the underground world, and they are all desperate. It is impossible to turn these people into their own team in a short period of time. Therefore, the combat power of the slave hunting team will be greatly damaged in a short period of time, and it is difficult to have a large-scale attack on the Wood Elf Tribe like this. What is even more worrying is that the general team may send people down.

Cockland's slave-capturing team is no longer his own, and was annexed by a huge force five years ago.

The name of the Death Merchant Duncan is remembered in the underground world of the continent. Of course, this name can only be described as infamous. Most of the people who remember his name will only pray by cursing him to die sooner.

However, Duncan has always lived a good life, and the power to annex Cockland's slave-capturing team came from him.

The industry in which the dead merchants have two pillars: one is the sale of weapons, and the other is the capture and trafficking of slaves.

For the elves, Cockland and the others are undoubtedly bad guys, but for Cockland, they will give this title to Duncan without hesitation, with the word shamelessness added to the front.

Duncan may be a bad guy, but he is indeed a successful dark businessman.

There are several ways to sell slaves. The first way is to catch slaves and find a city to sell them, or trade them with slave traders in that city.

The second way is to be qualified to participate in slave transactions held regularly in some large cities every year, where some great nobles will come.

The third way is that Duncan is like this now. He only openly conducts targeted slave procurement for at least a dozen noble families, almost all human countries.

In his eyes, life is just a commodity, a commodity that can bring him profits.

Ten years ago, Duncan began to use his huge amount of money and power, as well as his connections to annex other slave captive teams, starting from those independent ones, such as the slave captive team founded by Cockland.

After continuous annexation, most of the slave-capturing teams that did not have strong strength or did not have the support of the great nobles were annexed by Duncan.

The method used is sometimes to buy it directly with money, but sometimes it is bloody and cruel.

Cockland's team was quite kind when it was annexed. Duncan just banned his sales channels. A year later, Cockland had to surrender and joined Duncan's group.

Some people may ask, can a slave-catching team be surrendered by just banning and trafficking?

Yes, this may not allow some large slave-catching organizations to surrender. Those who have the support of the great nobles or who can reach the level of Duncan can target slaves for the great nobles, but it is enough for a team like Cockland.

Slave trade is a dark business that no countries advocate openly. They are extremely vague in the law. Some countries’ laws are even prohibited, but actual slave trade has always existed because the nobles and rich people need it.

A slave hunting team like Cockland does not have a formal slave trading qualification. Perhaps his slave hunting team will have the opportunity to obtain this qualification when it becomes a super-large slave hunting team or a larger slave hunting team. This qualification means that he can openly sell slaves directly in countries that are not explicitly prohibited by the law, hold slave auctions, or even go directly to a certain noble to sell slaves.

Usually, those who get this qualification are extremely powerful underground merchants, or some slave hunting groups and super-large slave hunting teams.

It was through his own connections that Duncan made the slave markets in various cities reject the slaves in Cockland. Of course, this rejection was not absolute, but a gradual process. With Duncan's pressure and bribery, more and more slave markets rejected Cockland and his slave captive team for the transaction.

Moreover, Cockland could not produce such excellent products as the current elves slaves at that time, otherwise Duncan would not be able to ban them at that time. The elves slaves would definitely attract some greedy people not to look at Duncan's expression.

Unfortunately, there is no if in this world. The time backtracking in magic is just to see the scenes that have happened in the past within a certain time range, rather than a real backtracking.

In short, Cockland's team was just a medium-sized slave hunting team, with only about a hundred people. After a whole year of inability to trade slaves and having to feed those slaves by themselves, the team was already facing collapse. To be honest, others might collapse in half a year. The slave hunting team did such a dirty thing, and most of the members were murderers, and they recognized the lowest loyalty among various commercial organizations.

But Cockland supported him for a year because his team was originally transformed from a mercenary team, most of which were mercenaries who had followed him and Zanqi.

But under Duncan's oppression, Cockland had no choice but to surrender. He was originally a mercenary who offended an opponent who was much stronger than them and was forced to gain a foothold. The other party deliberately targeted them and always carried out some tasks that were opposite or opposite to the tasks they took on, which led to their mission failure one after another and eventually had to withdraw from the mercenary world.

After quitting, Cockland worked as a robber for a year, but the other party still refused to let them go. He took on a task to wipe out them and broke through their base.

Finally, Cockland began to capture slaves, and the capture of slaves was even more mobile. As a robber, he had to be limited to a certain place, and the profit of catching slaves was higher than that of robbers.

But he didn't expect to leave the wolf's den and enter the tiger's nest, and was banned by Duncan again.

With the trade-offs between continuing to capture slaves and disbanding them, Cockland and Zanzi eventually joined Duncan's underground organization, transforming from an independent slave hunting team to a large organization that combines slave capture, slave trading, slave training and training.

After going from independence to vassal, the door to slave trading was opened again for Cockland.

However, the price paid is that the slaves captured by Cockland every year are not allowed to be sold privately, but the slave situation must be reported to the slave supervisors established by Duncan in various countries after each slave capture, and the organization will organize the trafficking together, otherwise Cockland will bear the consequences.

Of course, it is not without benefits. In the past, Cockland's slaves could only pass through some primary markets, and at most they would be lucky enough to participate in more advanced slave auctions in several familiar cities. After joining Duncan, the slaves they captured were usually divided into two categories by the responsible slave managers. One category was regarded as a fine product and sold to the great nobles or other places that Cockland could not access through Duncan's slave trading channels. The profit was more than ten times that of Cockland.

The other type is ordinary slaves. Although the profits are not as good as the former after being sold by the organization, they are also qualified to participate in various slave auctions, which is still difficult for Cockland to do before.

If most of the profits were not taken away by Duncan, it might actually be more than when he was independent, but most of the profits were taken away by Duncan. Now Cockland and the others can get them slightly worse than when he was independent. The only thing that can comfort themselves is that their income is more stable and they don’t have to go everywhere to see the eyes of the slave trading market as before.

But Cockland knew that Zanzi had been unwilling to give up because the big head was taken away by Duncan.

Zanzi is not like Cockland. Cockland continues to capture slaves, largely because if the slave hunting team is disbanded, what will happen to the old brothers who followed him before?

I started my life in slave hunting. Although I had a rich income, it also meant that I had a black background. As long as others knew about the things I had done, it would be difficult to live as a normal person. Not everyone just cared about money like Duncan.

Even if you find a strange place, it is difficult for these people who are used to earning income through battle to engage in other professions. Doing business may lose all their savings. Moreover, Cockland knows that although his old brothers have earned a lot in recent years, they have spent more. People who don’t know whether they will die tomorrow will usually spend money after getting the money, just as Taxman said when he just boosted morale.

Zanqi is a magician and a dark magician. Many dark magics are related to human bodies. After receiving the attention of the Church of Light, he simply joined the slave hunting team.

He is a cruel guy. The slave trade will bring him a lot of money and support him to continue to become a magician. The magician's cultivation is very expensive.

The battle during the slave hunting process was also a pleasure for him, and it was even one of the free sources of magical media. If he was a magician from the Undead, he would probably be more keen on this. Fortunately, those guys have been driven to islands in the sea or some swamps on the mainland.

So after being annexed by Duncan, Zanzi was quite dissatisfied because the reduction in overall income had a certain impact on his research on dark magic.

"You know how dangerous this is. We can't hide it from him when selling slaves privately. There are his connections in slave trading markets or auctions everywhere, and there must be his people in our team." A hint of fear flashed in Cockland's eyes.

"If he just secretly sold an ordinary slave with a small number, he might turn a blind eye, but now he is an elf slave."

"It is because of the elves that I suggest that we sell part of it first. We can't always let that vampire-like guy take away most of it every time. This time we fought for it." Zanqi sneered, "Even if it's ordinary slaves, the elves don't have any buyers. Even if we take certain risks, it's worth it. We can sell it directly to the nobles, or we can hold a special auction directly, and sell part of it to get a large income. Cockland, think about it, if this money is distributed to everyone and update the equipment, many people will die this time."

"He will find out." Cockland said fiercely, "You will kill everyone."

"No, I'm helping everyone. I have a way to contact a certain nobleman and sell it all to his family, so the risk will be much smaller." Zanqi whispered, "Promise me, Cockland."

"If you will be discovered, there must be someone in our team to monitor it." Cockland tried his best to resist the temptation from Zanzi. After joining the group, Cockland had seen Duncan's means. The slave hunting team that dared to sell slaves privately has never seen the leader suddenly disappeared. Duncan must have buried his eyes and ears in the slave hunting team.

If Cockland had the courage to say no to Duncan a few years ago, as he understood Duncan's power more and more, this courage became smaller and smaller.

"I have a way to do this." Zanqi took out his last resort and said, "I have already thought about it. In the next camp, we pretend to encounter an enemy, hide one-third of the elves slaves, and take them away to the people we trust, and hide them as if they were dead in the attack. You will take the rest to the city of freedom, and then report to the slave supervisors and hand them over to them to receive."

Cockland's eyes sterned, looking at Zanqi. After seeing the determination in the latter's eyes, he was finally moved: "Who are you going to take charge of this?"

Seeing that he finally convinced Cockland, Zanqi's eyes appeared with a hint of excitement, "My apprentice, Irving, Solomon."
