"Lord, this is a medium-sized iron ore vein. Only a small part of the orcs have dug up, and the iron ore has a high iron content.
Especially most of the iron ore I see seems to have an iron content of nearly 30%, which is already very good in medium-sized iron ore veins!" An elf ranger who hurried over said happily with some iron ore.
The other soldiers who heard this news couldn't help but smile slowly.
That's right.
A medium-sized iron ore vein contains at least millions of tons of iron ore and a lot of iron essence. Because the vein is large enough, more holes can be dug. As long as the number of people is enough, at least 300,000 tons of iron ore can be dug out every year. If you refine it into iron by yourself, it will be much less, but the selling price will be more expensive.
However, with high iron content, the selling price can also increase a lot.
At this normal excavation speed, if not accidents, it can last at least for decades.
Although in the eyes of others, this is a game, something like iron is not valuable to ordinary players, but for an NPC lord like him, it is a very precious thing.
With the iron ore veins alone, he can earn almost 10,000-20,000 gold coins a year.
1 gold coin = 100 silver coin = 10000 copper coin.
Although there are not many gold coins.
But sustainable output is important, not to mention that his territory requires a lot of iron.
and.
He is poor, tens of thousands of gold coins, he spent it in his previous life with a wave of his hand, although he still feels distressed...
But he now has too many people to raise. If he wants to expand his territory and build a larger neutral camp city, giving him hundreds of thousands of gold coins is not enough, and the lord and the scattered players cannot be compared.
"Now the territory finally has a profitable mine vein. Go back and pick good candidates and start construction immediately. Each of you is rewarding 5 silver coins!" William did not hesitate. Even if the news was leaked, it would be fine. The two adjacent principalities did not need to send troops to kill the marginal town in order to kill 10,000 or 20,000 gold coins a year.
The marginal town can be in the neutral camp for so long, and once had his father, now he, and so many pure-blooded elves from the Black Leaf Forest. As long as he does not easily participate in the struggle between the two principalities or exposes the great treasure, they will naturally not do it easily.
After all, no one wants to annoy the elves of the Black Leaf Forest!
Although they didn't know William Black Leaf's background, they could understand that with 500 elves' personal guards, it was right for him to be very important in the eyes of Black Leaf Elf...
"Thank you Lord Lord" many elves shouted with joy.
Lotner smiled slightly, pointed to the big guy in the trap and said, "What should I do if this intermediate monster is? The fur cannot be sold anymore. Otherwise, the complete Furious Giant Bear Fur is still such a big guy, and at least 1,000 gold coins. If it is selling meat, it can sell at least more than 800 gold coins!"
William thought for a moment: "Forget it, this violent giant bear has at least 4,000 kilograms, and its flesh and blood are rich in magic. Let's stay and eat it ourselves. Each of the soldiers who follow me is 5 kilograms of meat, and each of the soldiers guarding at home is 2 kilograms of each."
"Thank you, Lord Lord, the glory of the Elf God will always bless you!" This time the words of thanks were completely different, and the Elf Warriors instantly felt good about William.
This kind of thing that can increase strength is difficult to obtain easily. 5 kilograms of monster meat are almost equivalent to 10 silver coins, but the real situation is that 50 silver coins can also buy precious monster meat.
This kind of reward is generous to any lord.
What's more, they were not hurt at all, and even the soldiers who left the guards did not leave. This definitely shows that the lord has really changed now, at least his character is very good!
However, William still has a big head left behind. Of course, he doesn't want to eat it. No matter how delicious the intermediate monster is, he will be tired of it.
As a combination of NPCs and players, although he does not have the maximum number of times he eats meat, the bear meat he can stay can be used as a reward for future purposes.
For professionals, using this kind of reward is much more valuable than gold coins and much more cost-effective.
After all, William has a task to upgrade, but other NPCs can only improve their strength by eating, fighting, training, etc.
"Sir, is this little guy hungry?" Norton now held three little bears in his arms, with only a thin layer of white fluff on his body. He could only take off his underwear and wrap it in it, fearing that one of them would accidentally catch a cold and get sick. That would be his sin... unimaginable.
"We will go back immediately, leaving a 10-person Ranger team here to monitor it to see if anyone else has discovered this mine vein. When we go back, we will immediately send miners and troops to replace it!" William picked up one of them, as if he was really hungry and had to go back immediately to get some milk to feed him.
Just finished speaking.
William Heiye hurried back with his men. The iron ore veins were almost seven or eight miles away from the edge town. The distance was not close, but not far.
The main reason is that the mountain road is difficult to walk. If you want to hollow out this iron ore, you must build a road, otherwise it will not be possible to transport iron ore.
William on the way could not help but have a headache when he thought of this.
Cutting down trees costs money, and building roads also costs money.
However, there are many strange and poor people in the marginal towns. As long as they have money, these people will do anything.
no way.
Neutral camp.
There are too few good people, and those who can survive here are basically thugs. They either bear deep revenge on their sea of ​​blood or have wanted orders on their faces. They dare not appear in the camp of light and can only hang out in the neutral camp.
When his father was still there, he could use his own strength to make many criminals work quietly and even join the army.
But as soon as he disappeared, the group of soldiers could restore their nature as quickly as possible...
However, thugs have the advantage of thugs, that is, they are strong and have high military power. There are even many professionals. As long as they have strong strength and temptations of money, it is very easy to make these people work.
Two hours.
A team of armor-dying blood finally walked out of the forest, when they returned to the edge town.
Many idle and ok civilians looked over with shock, and they were talking about what kind of monster this giant bear, which is 5 meters tall?
It must be a monster, no ordinary animal can reach this physique.
"This is a violent giant bear, an intermediate monster, maybe a high-level monster!" someone suddenly said, a hint of heat flashing in his eyes.
After all, this is an intermediate monster, with delicious meat and great strength.
"Oh my God, there are actually bear cubs, and there are even three. Could it be..." The group of people felt a little envious in their hearts when they saw the bear in William's arms. The bear that had not opened its eyes yet.
The first person you see open your eyes and see will recognize him!
As long as these three little bears grow up smoothly, they will be a weapon on the battlefield.
William walked on the road with a proud look on his face, and did not pay attention to the unhonest civilians. The reason why he delayed out of the mountains and forests for two hours was that he did not want to dismember the giant bear, but to let them see this big guy and demonstrate the strength of his personal guards.
"Milk, bring the milk quickly, I want to feed the bear!"
"Sorry, Lord Lord, we only have goat milk now!"
"...The goat's milk is just goat's milk!"
"There is very little goat milk. In the future, you need to... go to the Iron Principality to buy it!"
Chapter completed!
