"The leader is an orc, with a total of twenty riders."
The scouts were horrified.
"Bring the horses over, set up defenses, and prepare for battle."
Anthony took out a soul mount badge and imbued it with magic energy, released a velociraptor, then turned over and rode up, leaping over the crowd to meet the group of cavalry.
"Oh, I didn't expect that our group leader is also a fashion-conscious guy. Ferrari's mass-produced Velociraptor mount costs one million gold marks."
Dongba was envious and joked.
Although it is a mass-produced product and does not have any attack power, it is still a soul mount. As long as the mana is enough and the rider can hold on, there is no problem in running for two hundred miles in one breath. It is a good choice for escaping.
A group of werewolf bandits came, riding Texas red wolves, wearing leather armor and red masks, and stopped a hundred meters away.
The two sides were negotiating, and as if to exert pressure, the bandits drew their machetes and roared at Anthony.
The leader was unmoved and made a gesture. The middle-aged knight immediately blessed the team with a halo, and the three shooters also cocked their guns and aimed at them.
The mage took out his staff and began to chant a spell, preparing to intimidate and shoot.
Although the bandits were all cavalry with good sprinting power, their troops were too single. They thought they would be shot from a distance before they could break up the adventure group, so they gave up the attack and left quickly to find the next small adventure group.
"Fortunately, if a fight breaks out, we will have to reduce our numbers again." Dongba wiped his cold sweat. The werewolf cavalry had always been famous for their tenacity and brutal fighting style, and no one wanted to encounter them.
"Just keep going!"
Anthony secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Surviving in a secret realm, he really didn't dare to be careless for a second.
The team arrived at the outpost in the afternoon, more than two hours later than expected, which made Anthony very dissatisfied. However, he had nothing to do. One of the adventurers in the team was bitten by a cobra.
Antidote potion, he will become the first unlucky guy to suffer non-combat casualties.
"Disband, you go and get familiar with the base. There is a grocery store on the east side. If you are missing something, you can buy it. If you can't buy it, go to the logistics team of those large mercenary groups. As long as you can afford it, they can do anything.
You can get it all.”
Anthony stretched and walked along North Street, "Ahead is the accommodation area, where our camp is. Don't get sidetracked, and remember to return before seven o'clock in the evening."
"Captain, when will we set off?" the bearded man asked.
"Tomorrow morning at five o'clock, we will set off while the weather is not hot. If anyone fails to arrive on time, the team will not wait." Anthony was going to take a deep nap to build up enough strength for the next strategy.
"Come on, let's go to the market."
Dongba put his arm around Downton's shoulders. A man with a pointed chin also came over. He was the archer who had extended his hand to help shoot the vulture.
"What's there to do? It's better to rest. I have plenty of supplies." Downton refused. He was eager to find a quiet place to find out what happened to the ancient grimoire.
"Sir Knight, you don't understand this. The journey just now was dangerous enough, wasn't it? Therefore, after some adventure groups come in, they will not go out easily unless the group members have suffered too much and need to be replenished. Or they have gained enough harvest."
The scumbag came over and struck up a conversation with a flattering look on his face.
"Go! Go! Go!" The pointed chin drove away the bearded scumbag. No one likes this kind of scumbag: "There is a trading area in each outpost, and the things obtained by the adventure group will be sold there, if you have a good eye.
You can find good stuff.”
"No." Downton knew how many pounds he had hit. Without Homer, his knowledge was pitiful. It would be a joke to try to find something missing.
"Not only this, but also various magic potions, ores, and the sale of corpses of monsters. From these, we can roughly infer the types of monsters in the lava secret realm, and understand what needs to be paid attention to." Hu Zhanan interrupted. After all, he is at the Judgment level. Before,
I have been to many places and have rich experience.
"Let's go, it will take a lot of time."
Dongba and Pointy Chin dragged Downton away. The bearded man gave his daughter a wink and asked her to follow him quickly and serve Downton.
The outpost is square in shape, with the main street being 200 meters long. According to the unwritten rules of the adventure world, the base is generally divided into four areas along the north-south central axis.
The west area is generally a trading area, and it also has functions such as a blacksmith shop, apothecary store, weapons store, etc., which is convenient for adventurers to organize equipment. The north area is the accommodation area, and the south area is the warehouse area, where major mercenary groups and large adventure groups ship goods.
Supplies will be handed over here, and the eastern area is generally reserved for demihumans.
In this period of increasingly serious racial conflicts, even if the country where the secret realm is located does not maximize profits, it is impossible to keep subhumans out, otherwise it will inevitably cause a war. After all, no one is willing to give up the benefits brought by the secret realm, so the country
We can only open up exclusive living areas for them at the base.
Of course, the subhuman race can build another outpost, but it will be time-consuming, laborious and expensive, and it will also delay the capture of the secret realm. Even if they are unwilling, they have to admit that on this continent where humans occupy the mainstream, human commerce and trade will always be
The most prosperous.
"Why are there ordinary people? Aren't they afraid of death?" Downton found that the base was very noisy, especially in front of the blacksmith shop and pharmacy. There were even long queues. But what surprised him the most were the merchants and blacksmiths. Obviously
Not a magician.
"Why is it said that a secret realm is the foundation for the rise of a country? Because the derived benefits it brings are so great." Hu Zhanan replied, "Carrying, escorting supplies, repairing armor, selling goods, etc., these jobs are definitely done by magicians.
If you don't do it, you can only leave it to the civilians. What are the civilians? They are poor people who have no food, clothing, clothing and heavy taxes. What is the risk of death? As long as they can make money, they will sacrifice anything."
"Indeed, as the secret realm continues to be explored, there will be more and more outposts. Do you calculate how many job positions this can provide?" Dongba patted Downton on the shoulder, "It's still the early stage of the strategy, it's too dangerous.
, after two or three months, the nearby monsters will be cleared away, and the route from the base to the rift in the plane will be completely safe, and even the prostitutes will come in one after another to make money."
As expected of a lava secret realm, the items sold were more or less with the element of fire. Downton looked around but couldn't find any valuable items.
The adventurers are not stupid. What they trade are ordinary goods. Those unrecognizable items found in the ruins of the secret realm must be brought back to be appraised by professionals.
"You guys can play, I'm going back to rest."
Downton firmly refused this time.
"I'll help you hold the horse!" The scumbag man was extremely eager.
The base is too small, there are too many adventurers, and things are rare and expensive, so the houses in the North District are very expensive, costing 300 gold coins for one night.
Anthony was reluctant to spend the money, so he set up a large tent outside the North District. There were many adventure teams like him.
"The base's wall is only one and a half meters, so we're really in trouble. There's no difference between the inside and the outside. The only advantage is that it's a little safer."
The deputy leader was wearing regular clothes, with the collar unbuttoned, revealing a piece of wheat-colored breasts.
Anthony sat on the blanket, clasping his feet with one hand and holding a cup full of juice with the other, pouring it into his mouth.
"Huh, it feels so good." Anthony took a long breath and cursed again, "A glass of juice costs a few copper coins outside, but it sells for twenty silver coins here. It's so dark, those businessmen are just obsessed with money.
"
Having said that, adventurers will not treat themselves badly when they have to eat and drink. After all, no one knows whether they will survive tomorrow. Rather than holding on to money and dying, it is better to have a little luxury.
"Captain, I can't live in a tent. Can I rent a house?" Tang Zheng made an excuse. The tent was so thin that he would definitely be noticed if he studied grimoires. Moreover, if the rental house was suitable, he was going to set up a house.
Of course, there is no need to think about the teleportation array until Homer recovers.
"Go ahead, but remember to come back for a war meeting at eight o'clock in the evening." When Downton left, Anthony shook his head, "That's how young people are, they can't bear hardships."
"Is he at the third level of war? Why do I feel that his attack power is as good as the fifth level?" Rebecca pinched her collar with her fingers and kept pulling it to fan the wind.
"You've found a treasure anyway. By the way, if you're fine, why don't you go talk to Downton? He seems to be a rich man by the way he spends money. If you hook up with him, you won't have to take such hard risks in the future." Anthony
Make fun of your companions.
Rebecca rolled her eyes at Anthony. She understood what the leader meant. In fact, she was a little moved. Although Downton was a bit younger, he was very handsome and seemed to be still a youngster.
"I'm Di Polo, this guy is really rich, he actually rented a house." The scumbag man was squatting on the street in the North District, thinking about where to get some money to buy some expedition supplies, when he saw Downton holding
A key came out of the real estate management office.
Juliet's eyes followed Downton's back, not wanting to take it back until he disappeared behind the door.
"Go find him. No matter what you do, you will get me one thousand gold coins today, not two thousand!" The scumbag man spat out thick phlegm and stared at his wife.
Miliya's body was shocked, and her face was full of disbelief. She thought her husband was just angry when he asked her to become a prostitute, but she didn't expect that he would actually do this.
"You are also a magic user, and you have conquered secret realms, so you also know that without supplies, we are doomed." The scumbag man gritted his teeth, "We have no choice."
"But..." Miliya's self-esteem made it difficult for her to accept this kind of thing. Although she had done lowly jobs before, she had never sold her body.
"We are at the end of our rope. If we can't turn around this time, not only the two of us will die, but Juliet will also die." Hu Scumbag Man sneered, "You think, besides your body, what other trump cards do we have? Yes.
, and my daughter’s body.”
"Don't hurt Juliet, I'll go." Miliya growled like a wounded female animal. (To be continued...)
