The goblin servants didn't lie. The last time they passed through here to transport goods was only two months ago. At that time, except for Theramore and a few abandoned ogre villages, Dustwallow Marsh really seemed like an abandoned place.
Ghost monsters are all carnivorous beasts and wild undead that are out looking for food. No one would be stupid enough to stay in this ghost place.
So when they saw this town that appeared out of thin air, their little eyes were all wide open. It was hard to imagine that a city could be built in this deserted place in less than two months!
"What are you doing standing still? Hurry up and go to the city!"
Seeing that the servants' eyes were widened and they were just looking around, Grandseau was so angry that he gave them a few more whips and urged these idiots to drive the animals to the small town. This goblin with a mysophobia could no longer stand the smell of mud on his body, so he turned to hot water.
Bathing is more important to him than anything else. Even if he is asked to spend ten gold... no, ten copper coins, he will not hesitate.
The servants took a few hard blows, quickly came to their senses, and performed their duties, leading the huge kodo beast towards the small town.
As the distance increased, the entire city was gradually revealed in front of the goblins. Strictly speaking, this is not a city. Perhaps it is more appropriate to call it a town: although it covers a large area, it has formed
There are not many buildings, and many places are still empty, with only some building materials piled up haphazardly.
In addition, the rough wall around the town is not very high, and even the dwarf sheep cavalry can easily cross it. If it is not the designer's cleverness, or the city guard's own force for such a thing with no defense,
Absolute confidence - soon, several dwarf guards at the door told them with their thick bodies and sophisticated weapons that the reason belonged to the latter
"Stop! Hey, I'm talking about you, the black goblins!" A dwarf warrior stopped farting with his companions, walked to the front of the convoy with a battle ax, and frowned at the monkey-like goblins.
, "What do you do? How did you get here?"
Grandzo hurriedly slid off the back of the Kodo beast, threw the riding whip to the servant, and said with a smile on his face: "Sir, we are a caravan returning from doing business in the Eastern Continent. We are passing through your land and want to find a place to rest.
, so I take the liberty of disturbing you, please forgive me..." The goblin merchant fumbled for a silver coin from his arms, hesitated a little painfully, and handed it to him heartily.
The dwarf guard rolled his eyes inexplicably and pushed him away roughly: "This is a military town, not a theater. Why are you paying for the tickets?"
"Ah?" Granzo blinked inexplicably, but he reacted immediately. While he put away the money in a flattering manner, he murmured in his heart that the dwarf was so stupid that he didn't even know how to make a windfall.
The guard said something in dwarf language to the companions behind him, then waved to Grandso, gesturing to follow him into the town.
There is an old saying in Azeroth: Goblins will only appear where gold coins can be seen. Although it sounds arbitrary, the reputation of these green dwarves in Azeroth is evident. Maybe they are excellent businessmen, but they are also
Excellent speculators, whether they are Alliance Horde or Lawful Evil, as long as they can obtain benefits, these guys will never miss an opportunity
As a race independent of the tribe and the alliance, the excellent communication skills of the goblins are undoubtedly a guarantee for survival in the cracks; perhaps they seem to be more inclined to the tribe, after all, they travel between Orgrimmar and the undercity by airship.
Although it was designed by them, the relationship between the Alliance and the goblins is actually not too bad. It may be said that there is still a lot of cooperation. After all, for businessmen, there will never be any ideological or racial barriers in their world view.
trouble
According to the goblins themselves, most of them came from Andermei in the Endless Sea, so this place name was misunderstood by the mainland races as the habitat of goblins - in fact, this is a relatively subtle mistake, as if someone asked the same question
A citizen of the Kingdom of Stormwind, and his answer was the same as Stormwind City. In fact, the Kingdom of Stormwind is not just the capital city, it also includes Elwynn Forest and its surrounding large areas and towns.
In the same way, Andermei is only the largest city in the goblin country and the capital of Kezan Island, the largest island in the South China Sea Islands. Kezan Island is ruled by a trade alliance composed of five goblin trade princes.
A parliamentary system that is relatively close to human beings in terms of political structure
During the first war, the clever goblins quickly learned how to gain profits from it, and rose up as trade princes. They gathered huge wealth, and Kezan Island also became the distribution center of the goblin merchant fleet. In the second
During the Second War, one of the Trade Princes agreed to provide his group's assistance to the Horde, and after the Horde's defeat, the goblins remembered the lessons of their partners' failure and realized that they should not be limited to such a narrow cooperation.
So in the third war, the goblins have learned to provide relevant weapons, vehicles and various mercenary services to both the tribe and the alliance, using the war to make a fortune, instead of just favoring the tribe.
Some people say that a goblin's bottom line is no more than a bag of gold coins, and they can even betray their long-time friends for the benefit of a smile: in fact, such prejudice is not completely unfounded. Many goblins may consider it, and some even actually do it.
It can be concluded that after all, they rarely earn gold coins without conscience while also taking into account the so-called moral constraints. On this island full of the smell of copper, money can even replace secular social morality and bottom line. No one will doubt it.
A gold coin works faster than the so-called law
In view of this, even the tribes that once had an alliance with the goblins would not trust the other party, let alone the stubborn dwarves.
"Here, remember everything for me, Green Man," the dwarf guard warned as he walked. "Although this town welcomes travelers and pedestrians of any race, even those rotten undead, the rules and laws also apply to all
Everyone is welcome, there will never be any special treatment because of money or status!"
As he spoke, he threw a piece of crumpled parchment to Granzo, "There are thirty-seven prohibitions and regulations here. If anyone dares to violate them, the applicable penalties range from fines to hanging... Take a look at Article 20.
"Those who bribe government officials and military guards can be punished with more than thirty lashes!" The dwarf glanced sideways at Grandseau, who was looking through the parchment, "You are lucky, you are the first group of merchants to come here.
Team, so I won’t report your behavior just now... But if you do it again in the future, your butt will probably be punished."
"Yes, yes, I must keep this in mind, little man!" Granzo said in his heart that he was lucky, and said carefully with a smile on his face, "Then, my lord, our town is so close to Theramore, how can it be done by the respected Jaina?
Built under the orders of the ** division?"
The dwarf nodded noncommittally: "You can say that...but strictly speaking, this is not a subordinate administrative unit of Theramore, but is under the jurisdiction of the Alliance Command. In other words, it is a military town managed and maintained by the army.
!”
Grandseau was taken aback, and then he began to worry about his goods and money: after all, there are not a few soldiers and gangsters on the mainland, and there are even more warlord leaders who lead their men to occupy the mountains and become kings. Their source of income is
Naturally, he is the fat sheep wealthy businessman from the past.
"May I ask, sir, is our team... really an active force of the alliance?" the goblin merchant asked fearfully.
"Nonsense!" The dwarf seemed to have known that he would ask this question, and impatiently showed his officer certificate to Granzo. The cautious goblin quickly took the glasses from the servant beside him and put them up.
Many goblins are language geniuses, and Granzo is even more of a genius among geniuses: he can understand more than five kinds of languages, including even the obscure troll ancient Zandalari, so the universal script on the certificate is naturally also
It's not a problem for him: "Directly under the Alliance Headquarters, the Seventh Army - Red Storm Special Forces Regiment - Artillery Battalion - Deputy Captain of the Seventh Squadron, Lieutenant Evan." On the back of the officer's ID card is the alliance's lion head logo.
After confirming that the seal of the alliance headquarters was correct, Granzo carefully handed the document back to the dark-faced dwarf officer. Although he knew that this approach would cause displeasure to others, the cautious goblin still insisted on his caution.
"Thank you for your patience, Lord Evan," Gronzo showed rare sincerity on his face, and he bent deeply towards the offended officer. Although he knew that this etiquette was very honest for the goblins, the dwarf's anger still dissipated.
Most of them said, "I am a businessman who eats and sleeps in the open just to exchange for a few money to support my family. Naturally, I dare not put unknown dangers at my side. If this question constitutes an insult to you, Grandseau will ask your lord to punish you!"
As soon as these words came out, Evan naturally wouldn't do anything to him, and the goblin's behavior undoubtedly made the dwarf feel better, "Okay, your behavior did not violate any laws and regulations, and the suspicion is of course yours."
Justifiable rights, of course I will cooperate as the guardian of the town."
Evan waved his hand and continued to lead them towards the town. His words were not as stiff as before, and this was naturally attributed to the goblin's excellent communication skills.
Along the way, there were many armed forces visible in the town. In addition to the dwarf guards and a few mages on duty on the ground, Grandseau also vaguely saw some purple figures on the roofs. They must be night elf archers.
, such a close-range sniper attack, I am afraid that no living creature can escape their sharp arrows.
At the same time, the scale of the military town is also relatively large. Although there are still large areas of idle land and building materials at this time, judging from the skilled movements and hard-working attitude of the workers, the overall completion is only a matter of time, and this problem will certainly not
Too long
Grandor secretly rated the prospects and public security of this emerging town ten points. It is estimated that in the near future, in addition to the main trading cities of Kalimdor, Gadgetzan and Jingtang City, this unknown town in front of him will also be on the list.
Famous
"The town is still in the construction stage. Although it already has a lot of infrastructure, it is still far from what our general requires. Of course, if you are just here to rest and resupply, then this can still be fully satisfied." Lieutenant Evan
Explained to the goblins
"Oh, what a beautiful place!" the goblin admired sincerely, "Dear Sir, may I be lucky enough to know the name of this town?"
Evan seemed to be a bit embarrassed about this question. He muttered for a while before shrugging: "It's called Morning Mist Town, a very elven name!" Before Grandseau could answer, he complained with some complaint, "
In fact, our direct commander, Mr. Eric, has protested many times. Even Anvil Town and Hammerhead Town sound much better than this name... But it is very regrettable that our taller leader, Christine.
General Reagan directly exercised his decision-making power and changed its name unreasonably!"
Seeing that the dwarves were a little aggrieved, the goblins could only try to persuade them. At the same time, they were thinking about whether to visit the general. From the goblin's point of view, this Morning Mist Town was a place with great potential, and often
As an emerging trading town, what it lacks in the early stage is a large amount of construction and maintenance funds. If you can become an investor here first, the subsequent returns will definitely be unimaginable!
The goblin was secretly planning when suddenly smoke and dust filled the town gate, and a horse team galloped in from outside the town in the blink of an eye!
