On May 12, the barbarians in the iron mines were migrating out one after another, and the humans began to resume production in the mining and smelting areas.
Most of the magicians left with Wendy, Tenia and others. The original knights in the iron mine had been divided into east and west routes. The west route continued to open up towards the Iowa Pass; the main force returned to Ye Qi City eastward to meet with Benma. Knights Integration.
The remaining ordinary demon possessors and non-demon people in the iron mine are temporarily immobile, waiting for Lanya to arrive, and she will integrate and distribute the population in the iron mine.
Lant had already held a meeting with the stewards of the Demonless Ones on the night of the 11th, asking them to start counting the population, gathering underage children, and selecting experienced miners and smelting workers. These things were decided with Laniya before departure. Now he only needs to wait for his consul to arrive in the afternoon and take over the personnel management of the entire iron mine.
Originally, Lant was supposed to sleep until noon, but a nightmare made him wake up before dawn. In the dream, a huge dog and a huge cat stretched their claws into the city wall of Yeqi City. The huge head was lying next to the wall, making Lant think that he was in the cat and dog's dining bowl.
"Are you so malicious to me? I didn't steal their cat food or dog food." Lant, who was no longer sleepy, looked out the window at the castle that was built yesterday, and kept thinking in his mind, where would he go to find the high-level castle? And the legendary beast god's favored one who fought against the orcs.
During the big demolition a few days ago, the knights found a lot of good things from several big tents of the Brown Bear tribe, including gold coins, gems, crystals and magic scrolls. Pete does the statistics together. There are also some very important documents that Rand must review separately, such as the contract between the Salt and Iron Department and the Brown Bear Tribe.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would be hard for Lant to imagine that there were not only private connections but also written agreements between the Salt and Iron Division's dragon kingdom agents, the barbarian brown bear tribe, and the orc Scorched Wolf tribe.
These agreements have been going on for nearly 20 years, with at least two brown bear leaders. The contents of the agreement are all-encompassing, including the share of iron ore between the humans and the orcs, cooperation confidentiality agreements, transportation agreements, the technical support of the humans for the brown bears, and even salt. Tiesi provides the Brown Bear with flame elves, and the Scorched Wolf tribe among the orcs provides the Brown Bear with a tribe of half-orcs. If the brown bears are threatened, the humans will provide mages to operate in the iron mines, and the orcs will send troops to patrol outside the iron mines.
"Good guy, this contract is really detailed." Lant looked at 3 or 4 contracts, adding up to dozens of pages of paper, and couldn't help but sigh, "The Bruins have achieved development, but they are also stuck on the ceiling."
Regardless of whether they are humans or orcs, they all require that the brown bear forces must not leave the iron ore camp. They can neither form an alliance with the tribe responsible for transportation, nor harm or annex them. The three parties negotiate production and quotas every five years to ensure that regardless of the Which tribes are responsible for transportation? The iron ore obtained by each orc tribe is the same.
"It seems that I am lucky. If I attack a few months earlier, maybe the human magisters and the orcs will form a coalition to destroy me."
However, when he saw the last few pieces of paper, Lant couldn't sit still anymore. The content in the document was even more exaggerated than the one 4 years ago, which unilaterally sent 200 demons and corresponding demon-free people to the Brown Bear Tribe.
"The Imperial Salt and Iron Department recognizes that the leader of the Brown Bear Tribe has the right to become a high-ranking person, and supports him to become a legendary powerhouse and supports the Brown Bear Tribe to unify the entire Galloping Horse Plains," Lant looked at the document in his hand and couldn't help but smile. "Such conditions were definitely not negotiated by Antreqi, so it wouldn't be the Salt and Iron Department, it would just be another department that is causing trouble."
Looking at the contract that was only signed this year, Lant had some speculation in his mind, but he had already promised Ben Call that he could not mention this matter again.
There was a knock on the door of the lord's room, and Peter Maned Wolf walked in and reported to Lant the gains of this war. Due to the madness of the leader of the brown bear tribe, Lant was equivalent to winning the duel and directly annexed the iron mine. The entire mine and the knights basically suffered no losses except for Tierney who consumed several bottles of medicine. The most regrettable thing is that the tribe leader Big Bear has already devoured two high-level and mid-level professionals before they arrived.
The biggest material gain from occupying the iron mines is ore and iron ingots. Even if the materials delivered to Lanlong and Jiaolang are removed, the remaining ore can still satisfy the blast furnace operation of the new industrial zone for 2-3 months. In addition, several magic goblins extracted thousands of tons of iron sand from the slag pile during the construction the day before. These iron sands were missed during hundreds of years of mining. They will be produced in the blast furnace in the iron ore. Turned into iron ingots, they will be supplied to regions farther west in the future.
In addition to iron ore and iron ingots, there are also some old equipment in several storage warehouses in the mine that can be remanufactured. Wendy found some equipment left over from the Mages’ secret base by the Galloping Horse Kingdom and the Orcs. Gold coins and armor, if converted into gold coins, there are always 60,000 or 70,000.
In addition, the Grizzly Bear Tribe has mastered the production of iron armor in recent years. By selling both iron armor and rune armor, it has also saved nearly 20,000 gold coins. In addition, there are at least 200 ready-made pieces of armor and at least 200 sets of iron armor and 20 sets of rune armor in several warehouses. , more than 50 pieces of various enchanted weapons and rune weapons.
In comparison, the prices of magic potions and magical plants grown by the orc tribe are much lower, but Lant still saw a few bottles of rare items: 4 bottles of breakthrough potions and 1 bottle of intermediate potions. Breakthrough potions can make the body It can enhance the affinity with magic within a short period of time. Generally speaking, it is used from apprentices to beginners. This kind of potion is not seen at all in shopping malls, but in the homes of big nobles, it is still more common than mid-level potions. Some.
Nowadays, the largest regular expenses in the territory have changed from the previous food and daily necessities to monster meat and magic potions. Even with the swordfish breeding in Lot territory and the magic plant plantation in the big forest, rand every day The monthly supply of magic grains and monster meat for his family, subordinates and monsters also costs more than 500 gold coins, and potions require another 1,000 gold coins. This is even if Dugan has his own channels for potions and monster meat.
After doubling the population this time, the corresponding expenses will only be higher. Now the new high-level knights, intermediate mages and intermediate knights in the territory can only rely on rand to spend money to buy Warcraft meat and magic potions.
"By the way, Lant," Elsa Iron Rock Fairy came over at noon, holding a black stone in her hand, "Tanya found this yesterday. We were all too busy and didn't care. Get on."
What the big goblin handed over was a piece about one meter long, with a black appearance, like a huge obsidian.
"What is this?"
"Eh? Tania said you would know it as soon as you saw it," Elsa Tieyan was a little puzzled, thinking that Tania and Lant had already communicated, "They said it was for the big-tailed girl."
"Is this the crystallization of a legend?"
"Huh?" Elsa didn't think much about it before sending it over. Now seeing what Lant said, she held the stone bar with her hand. The part she held quickly reacted due to the magic power. Under the black A light-colored light was revealed, and there was even some kind of text looming.
"It seems to be true. This is the crystallization of the remains of a demigod from ancient times." Elsa read out very useful information from it. "Well, Tania is right. You'd better not leave such a thing behind." If you hold it in your hand, it will be easily coveted.”
Since the great magic goblin thought this was a hot item, Lant naturally quickly received the space ring and prepared to give it to Gu Leiya when he could find time. This was the only thing that the dragon girl could still use.
