Although the quality of the iron ore is slightly worse than that in Jiuxue Village, the price is low and the quantity is large. Most importantly, compared to Jiuxue Village, hundreds of kilometers of mountain roads have been saved. Even farmers who have no business experience, it is clear at a glance how to choose, let alone those businessmen who are as smart as monkeys. Not only will they not load the truck before arriving at Heijing Tribe, but they will empty the vehicle as much as possible before arriving at Heijing Tribe to load iron ore - it is faster, more convenient and dangerous to walk empty on the mountain road. Sex is lower. Now the iron ore in Old Ax Village has piled up in the cave, and Shanoba is worried about this. The appearance of the middle-aged woman became a fuse, directly igniting Shanoba. Shanobah discovered the middle-aged woman and arranged for the Zhentarim to lead the way, but she had no intention of going down to join them. She wouldn't work for the Zhentarim, it was a cesspool. Compared to what the Dark Intelligence Network did, she was as clean as a white lotus. She is going to the Black Well Tribe now purely out of revenge. She actually wants to see what the origin of the Black Well Tribe, which has squeezed her out and cannot continue to maintain, is. In particular, he has an inherent advantage when facing kobolds.
The Black Well Tribe is not difficult to find, because it is bustling with people coming and going. It is a different scene compared to the deserted Old Ax Village. Shanobah looked down from high in the sky and could see more clearly. Among these caravans, there were not only human ones, but also small trucks pulled by kobolds, which were also packed to the brim. If it were placed in other places, if humans and kobolds met, even if they didn't draw their swords at each other, they would still be at war with each other. But here, the most they can do is to vigilantly keep a distance, and then everyone goes their separate ways. Occasionally, a team of twelve well-equipped kobolds patrols along the mountain road. Each one of them holds their heads high and has high morale, just like a knight patrolling the territory. Regardless of whether they were merchants or kobold merchants, they all bowed and saluted when they saw these patrol teams. In addition to the kobold patrols, there are kobolds everywhere along the mountain roads. They usually appear in groups, ranging from a dozen to dozens. There is even an area densely packed with hundreds of kobolds. . When I took a closer look, I realized that they were all construction sites. The kobolds are repairing and widening the roads, and they are working enthusiastically. These kobolds are short in stature, but not very weak in strength. The smaller miner's pickaxe is wielded very vigorously by them. Shanobah even forgot about the business and changed her body again, leaving only a pair of black dragon wings. Her body returned to human form, and she lurked quietly and carefully observed the construction work of the kobolds. When it comes to the work efficiency of a single kobold, it is definitely not as efficient as the humans in Old Ax Village - despite their physical limitations, the strength of these kobolds cannot keep up with that of a half-grown human, let alone those who have been engaged in physical work for a long time. prime of life. But it canât hold up in large quantities. The human miners in Old Ax Village, all put together, are not as many as the kobolds in a large construction site. Many kobolds work together to achieve considerable speed. The most important thing is that Shanobah didn't find any lazy kobolds, and she didn't even see a few of the supervisors. Occasionally, there were a few kobolds wandering around, and they belonged to the deployment staff. After the deployment, she picked up the miner's pickaxe. Also open to dry. Now we are building roads, not mining, and there is no temptation of profit. Why are these kobolds so desperate? If it were placed among human miners, it would not be impossible, but unimaginable.
"It's exploded! It's exploded! It's exploded!" Accompanied by a barking sound from the kobold. The kobolds on the entire construction site picked up their tools, huffed and puffed, and then retreated from the construction site within a few dozen seconds. They were numerous but not chaotic, as if they all knew what they were supposed to do. Accompanied by a series of muffled sounds, several obstructing boulders on the Kotou artificial ground and a mountain blocking the road cracked at the same time, and streams of white gas with an acidic smell came out from them. After waiting for a minute or two, the kobolds roared again and rushed back pulling more than a dozen small carts, gravel for gravel, loading carts for loading stones, and carts for pushing carts together. The division of labor is very clear. It didn't take long for the road to be cleared again and all the gravel dumped into a narrow area for widening. This scene made Shanobah dumbfounded. The kobold is using an alchemy bomb to clear the way! This is simply a rare treasure. If it were used for mining, wouldn't the iron ore mining speed be amazing? wrong. It is impossible for those old miners not to understand things that I can understand at a glance, and they have probably been used in daily mining. Now it is just applying mining methods to road construction. These kobolds are so professional in building roads, and they must be even more professional in mining. At this moment, Shanobah's heart was burning. Why hadn't she noticed before that the little guys all over the mountains and plains in the rocky fields were so capable? If I had known earlier, I would have definitely greeted a lot of people with my Dragonborn status. No, ten years ago. There once was a pack of kobolds who served me as their master, but they were extremely stupid. At best, they could only give me some game every day, and they couldn't even clean the cave. After that temporary residence was abandoned, I no longer wanted to deal with these noisy little guys. Perhaps, it was at that time that the stupid image of the kobolds was engraved in her cognition, and she usually treated them like weeds on the roadside, not even taking a second look. Sanoba excitedly turned back into a pterosaur and soared into the sky. There was a commotion in the kobold construction team below, and many kobolds became trembling and almost knelt down. This situation made Sanoba laugh triumphantly, and when she got to her mouth, it turned into a low roar. Although the Zhentarim Society was not a good thing, the plan was still relatively reliable. It was well known that kobolds were born to worship dragons, and Sanoba had a deep understanding of this. If she faced a dragon, her plan would definitely fail.
But facing the half-elf, she had an absolute advantage. It would take only a few minutes to seize control of the kobold tribe from him. Soon Sanoba arrived above the Black Well Tribe and began to circle in circles at low altitude. This was her most common tactic. Not only can she observe the enemy, guess their strength through their reactions, find their weaknesses, and easily defeat them. She can also use her previous vicious reputation to create chaos, and she has encountered many caravans that collapsed without fighting and fled, leaving behind a pile of goods. That kind of situation is what she likes to see the most. This time, she not only has to use her vicious reputation, but also the influence of the dragon bloodline among the kobolds. "Pterosaur! That's a pterosaur, everyone run." "No, no, that's not an ordinary pterosaur, I recognize those wings, that's the black dragon girl... that vicious robber..." "Black dragon girl? Hasn't she been wiped out by Cormier's battle mage task force? She hasn't appeared in the rock for a while. How come she suddenly appeared again? Who resurrected her?" "That's just a rumor. As long as the battle mage doesn't publicly display her head, it can't be confirmed. Whether the battle mage has fought with her is still unknown!" "Black dragon girl Hasn't it been active in the western part of the rocky land? Why did it suddenly come to the east? " "You ask me, who should I ask? Quick, quick, hide quickly, the kobolds will definitely deal with it." ... "All non-combat kobolds, all enter the mines, all combat kobolds, enter combat posts, and must not leave their posts without permission. Those who leave their posts without permission will be dealt with by military law." "All ballistas and crossbows are ready, and no firing is allowed without orders." "All flying units are in place, and no take-off is allowed without orders." The reactions below are polarized. The most panicked are the human merchants who are trading here. Many of them are old people from the high road, and they recognized Shanoba's identity at a glance. Many of them just threw the goods and got into the nearby stone houses. Anyway, their goods are either various old grains or iron ore that has just been loaded. They are all heavy goods, and even if the pterosaurs toss, they can't move more than a few trucks. Although these merchants hid, they still peeked out vigilantly. They were very curious about how the Black Well Tribe would deal with this crisis. The reaction of the dog-headed people was not only unexpected by Sanoba, but also by those merchants. They did have a lot of commotion, but they did not kneel down unanimously. On the contrary, within a few minutes, they showed their ferocious claws. Ten seven or eight-meter-high sentry stone towers simultaneously lifted the sun-proof camouflage cloth, revealing the large crossbows underneath. This was only part of it. Some cave camouflages on the surrounding hillsides were also removed, revealing one crossbow after another, and there were three large catapults mixed in. Faced with this situation, not only was Sanoba startled, but she was secretly glad that she did not fall rashly. Even those merchants took a breath of cold air and cursed in their hearts. Which unscrupulous black-hearted merchant actually sold such lethal weapons to these dog-headed people?
Arenât they afraid that these weapons will suddenly be fired at them one day? Fortunately! Fortunately! I am an honest businessman, otherwise, I would not know how I died. The placement of these dog-headed people's crossbows is also very wicked. Not only does it cover the inner square, but also the outer square as a trading market. Every transaction they make is covered by these crossbows. In her heart, Shanoba greeted the middle-aged woman and the Zhentarim behind her from top to bottom. What a shitty dark intelligence network, the best intelligence in the world. They have air defense forces, why don't they find out such important information? If she hadn't been cautious, she would have been shot into a sieve. She just ran away in disgrace, but she was very unwilling. You don't know until you see it. Now that you know that the Black Well Tribe is so unusual, you naturally covet their bodies... no, the position of the leader. Based on the number of caravans gathered at the other side's door, it is not difficult to guess that this Black Well Tribe is making a fortune every day. This is much faster than robbery. She must find a way to seize this gold mine. This will be the biggest deal in her life. Once successful, she can enjoy the fruits of her labor for the rest of her life. How should she seize it? The Zhentarim? Hey! They are a group of devils who eat people without leaving any bones. Whether the other party is willing to spend a lot of money is not to be discussed for the time being. Even if they spend a lot of money, if they really take down this iron mine, they probably won't even get a bite of soup. The real big money will be taken away by the dark intelligence network. And in the Rock Land, the opponent's foreign dragon has to rely on the local snake Cormier. Those battle mages don't interfere much in minor fights, but they will not sit idly by when it comes to serious threats to the high road, especially the Zhentarim, an ambitious and well-known evil organization. This is a last resort. Everything depends on oneself. Since a half-elf can gather so many kobolds by his own strength, it doesn't make sense that a dragonborn can't do this. Wait until I gather a kobold army and then fight back.
