Chapter 33 The Slave Trade (Part 2)
Chapter 33 Slave Trade (Part 2)
Because of the war, the werewolf slaves in the arena were very popular!
But the same is true, it consumes very quickly.
There is never any kindness in the arena. Out of hatred for this cannibal creature, the arena is the bloodiest and most violent program prepared.
For example, let a knight in heavy armor cut a group of unarmed zombies into pieces, or let a strong male zombie deal with two hungry lions at the same time!
These entertainment programs are very well recognized by humans who have evacuated from the frontline and are forced to leave their homes.
This is hatred, the precepts of the weak, the survival of the fittest, and the legal system that must be followed in this era!
Of course, most of the nine hundred gnoll slaves were sold to the military headquarters. The newly trained army in the human city-state needs these gnoll slaves to practice, at least know how to kill these creatures and understand that they are not much different from humans. Although there is all the insufficient number, the instructors of the army hope that the recruits can stab the corpses of these gnolls a few more times before the training ends.
This is not a joke.
real!
In the age of cold weapons, it was very common to use dead bodies to train soldiers' will.
Black market merchants - fur trade - gladiator arena - slave trade!
With the promotion of the Marquis of Elizabeth, the trade channels supported by the noble parliament were quickly opened. The most important buffer point was Murphy's town port. For Murphy and other foreign humans who called themselves "Greeks", the noble parliament on the southern plains still reported a very friendly attitude, especially at this moment of internal and external troubles in the southern plains!
And they also really hope to get connection and help with other branches of human beings living in the dark land!
It's like a northerner living in the northern snowfield.
Unfortunately, the other races explored by humans in the southern plains are very far away, and the population is not prosperous due to environmental reasons.
As of now, the Southern Plains is the most prosperous gathering place for humans in the explored areas.
It is also the only branch of human civilization that entered the city-state era.
In fact, this plane is quite primitive, and the masters of the wild land are still the vicious monsters left over from the previous era. The environment for human survival has never been so optimistic!
The first batch of slave merchants attracted by interests arrived the day before yesterday.
In order to make this trade boom flourish, Murphy also provided a series of maps for these slave traders, marking the gathering places and gatherings of werewolves in the explored area within a radius of 100 miles.
Of course, this requires a considerable amount of silver coins.
Murphy, who has a strategic map, does not need much effort to make these small objects, and counting the number of gnolls gathered within the current territory is also one of his daily work, in case of emergencies!
After a great war that night, Murphy increased his efforts to explore surrounding areas.
There are about 32 gigolo clans living on the land within a center of about one hundred miles with the territory, and the total number should be between 7,000 and 9,000. However, because of that big battle, the number of adult male gigolos in these gigolo clans has dropped sharply!
Therefore, it is not a threat for the time being.
The losses caused by a crushing defeat have already made these gnolls learn to be afraid and be forced to recognize Murphy's existence.
It hurts.
Only then will you be afraid!
You must understand this when dealing with wild beasts.
This morning, the Marquis Elizabeth was back.
Not only did she bring back a generous amount of funds, but she also brought back a batch of ‘gifts’ that made Murphy ecstatic!
Weapons and iron!
This even includes a small number of heavy infantry half-body armor and weapons given to the human city-state of the southern plains by the Dwarves!
This gift is a bit heavy.
Even Murphy couldn't accept it safely for a moment! Obviously, this has far exceeded the scope of trade cooperation.
"Mr. Murphy, I'm very sorry!" Marquis Elizabeth said apologetically, but her eyes were full of excitement. She raised the corner of her skirt gracefully and sat in front of Murphy, like an elegant lady, graceful and gorgeous. She said slowly: "My original plan was to open up the situation of the slave trade."
"But I didn't expect that Grand Duke Rothschild would actually think of using your territory as a military buffer point to attract part of the attention of the front-line gnoll army!" This should have been a very dangerous topic, but when Marquis Elizabeth talked about it, she was very confident at the moment, both for herself and for Murphy.
"I used my family relationship to get you this batch of material assistance!" Marquis Elizabeth took out a note marked with many names of people and the identities of these names in the noble parliament. This is a very important information!
"Mr. Murphy, with your wisdom, you can clearly understand that this is just an accompanying adventure." Marquis Elizabeth stood up and smiled, his smile as if a flower was blooming, just like the faint fragrance of roses. She handed the list of supplies to Murphy, and then said: "The gnolls may not be attracted by the attention here, because they are sparsely populated and the front line cannot be too large. Even if their sight is attracted here, as long as they move, the front line will be mobilized immediately, so it is not a big threat to our territory!"
"But, this batch of aid supplies can be obtained now." Marquis Elizabeth's lips opened slightly, and the fragrance filled her. She smiled sly: "And, it's an advance."
“It’s free.”
Speaking of this, Marquis Elizabeth smiled like a cunning fox.
But for some reason, Murphy liked it very much.
He kept listening quietly, and until this moment, he smiled a little.
Murphy stood up seriously, and he stretched out his right hand with a serious expression, "Congratulations! Mrs. Elizabeth, you have gained my friendship!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, hit it off!
Mrs. Elizabeth brought Murphy about 13,000 silver coins in trade income, as well as a batch of iron ore purchased through the noble parliament!
This fund has been able to support the construction of the Murphy Territory for a while. At least in the big town stage, there should be no shortage of funds. Because of the iron ore, Murphy also began to mine the open-pit coal mine within the territory.
The planning of the commercial area has been completed, and the construction progress of the blacksmith shop is accelerating.
As long as the blacksmith shop is completed, the weapons and equipment of the current urban army can be upgraded!
With his own blacksmith shop, damaged weapons can be repaired, and some equipment needed can be built by themselves. After all, reality is not a game, and many details require complex conditions. As a town with military forces as the main development route, Murphy had to put all construction plans to improve combat effectiveness at the forefront!
Because of this trade, the relationship between Murphy and Mrs. Elizabeth became closer.
Although the two of them worked together for the first time, the rhythm and ideas were quite consistent, just like a pair of very familiar business partners.
Just as Murphy was about to discuss the next development direction with Mrs. Elizabeth, a "ding" sound was heard in his ears with a prompt sound from the auxiliary system of "Total War".
"Ding! The temple is built!"
"The Goddess of Wisdom Athena's divine power is out of the endangered state and introduced into the faith system!"
Chapter completed!
