"Director Feili, how do you think we should attack this camp to avoid more damage?"
After trying to persuade them to surrender to no avail, Allen no longer wasted his efforts, but turned back to discuss with Fili and Regis about attacking the camp.
"This, everything is according to the arrangements of Chief Allen, we just try our best to cooperate."
Fili looked like he was obeying his words, obviously not wanting to get too involved in the indigenous fighting, while Regis on the other side had an expressionless face, closing his eyes to recharge his batteries, and even ignored Allen's inquiry.
"Don't think about being lazy. Helping us reduce our losses is also helping yourselves. Anyway, your soldiers will accompany us in the next attack."
Allen had already guessed the other party's selfish intentions and looked at him with a threatening tone.
Upon hearing this, Regis, who had been silent like a statue, opened his eyes and stared at Allen murderously. Fortunately, Director Feili reacted and calmly tugged at the corner of Regis' clothes to signal the other party to calm down. After quickly weighing the pros and cons, he quickly said: "Well, actually, our caravan happened to escort the shipment. I got an alchemy item that might be useful in breaking down the fence."
"Oh? That's good. Director Feili, why don't you hurry up and get people ready? If we finish what we need to do early, you can leave safely early, right?"
Allen glanced at Feili unexpectedly, but saw that the other person's expression was hesitant, as if he had something to hide: "Looking at Director Feili's expression, he seems a little reluctant?"
"Well, to be honest, Chief Allen, this alchemy item of ours is a one-time consumable, the production process is responsible and it is valuable. Although it is our established agreement to help the chief, we only agreed to assist from the side before. You didn’t say you were going to use our property, right?”
Feili was indeed in a dilemma. For this trade, they and the Flash Silver Chamber of Commerce spent all their energy to prepare these 9 carts of goods. They were counting on it to help the Flash Silver Chamber of Commerce tide over the difficulties. Any goods transported to the Elf Kingdom can be brought The profit is huge, and it is about to reach the elven border. Who is willing to use a valuable alchemy item for free?
"That's true."
Allen thought about the previous agreement with Feili and the others. Apart from manpower and weapons, there were no other requirements. If he added conditions at this time, it would be something that ordinary wilderness natives would do easily. However, Allen's cooperation with the Flash Silver Caravan was no longer just superficial. During this journey, he intentionally communicated with Feili, which made him think of some opportunities to cooperate with Flash Silver.
The world outside the wilderness gradually opened a wonderful window to Allen during his communication with Feili, which made him eager to connect with the outside world and truly get in touch with the outside world.
However, the harsh living environment of the wilderness prevents Allen from hurriedly immersing himself in unknown things. He needs a guide and a safe escape route so that he can start his adventure with peace of mind. And the Flashy Silver Chamber of Commerce, which has something to ask for, may be a great opportunity for him to contact the outside world.
"Then Director Feili, what price do you think our tribe should pay to make up for your losses?"
The thought that there might be an opportunity to need the other party in the future, as well as the weapons that the other party still has to deliver, are all factors that lead Allen and Big Allen to use tough tactics.
"This time we helped the nobles capture the Jackal camp. Since our caravan has contributed, do we also have the right to distribute the spoils? Of course, we will not share valuables such as food, salt, spices, weapons, etc. with Allen Clan leaders, you are fighting for it, but the nobles have no use for the useless gold jewelry, jackal cubs, etc. in the gnoll camp. They might as well give them to us as compensation for our use of precious alchemy items. What’s the price?”
Listening to the conditions stated by Fili and seeing him look like he had suffered a big loss, Regis on the side almost couldn't help but call him a profiteer. He knew clearly that the so-called precious alchemy products in Fili's mouth were just the cheapest black powder. Those were just consumables that Fili and the others used to blast away looters and block roads. They had no use in human society at all. How much is it worth.
Of course, black gunpowder is suitable for blasting open the simple log fence outside the Jackal camp, and it is true that it can save Allen and the others a lot of money.
However, Fili knew these things, Regis knew them, but the bugbear Allen didn't know them. Fili had the courage to bring them up because he knew that the other party didn't know enough and was determined to win the camp.
"Well, this can be discussed, but don't bully me for being ignorant. Gold, silver and jewelry are of little use in our wilderness, but I heard that in your human society, there are other kingdoms where they are very valuable!"
Although Allen didn't have enough knowledge and knew nothing about outside things and prices, Feili's lack of acting skills still made the sharp-eyed Allen notice some clues, and he resisted what he was about to say to the other party, and instead Make an ambiguous decision: "I want to see if the alchemy products you talk about are really effective, and then I will give you corresponding revenge based on the effects."
"no problem!"
Fili is a qualified businessman. He took advantage of the opponent's weakness in attacking the camp and did not want to lose too much, and proposed using black gunpowder in exchange for the right to distribute the spoils after the war. Regardless of whether the opponent agreed or not, the actual loss to him would not be great. But if they can really get the right to distribute the spoils, then they will really make a lot of money.
Wilderness people are eager for food and weapons, and basically disdain others. Small tribes in remote areas such as Green Field and Bone Fire have few merchants who dare to come to trade, so they always rob them of goods after looting them. Unused items were thrown away in the camp like garbage, or collected by the leader.
The human shield warrior braved the risk of being hit by gravel and flying spears in the gnoll camp. He carried the two oak barrels with great difficulty and carried the big shield to the southeast corner of the gnoll camp, and then ran back quickly. Seeing that there was almost no change on the other side, only two oak barrels were left by the fence, Allen almost wanted to turn around and curse Fili, a human being, but unexpectedly, two shocking loud noises suddenly erupted, that is Allen and others, who were nearly a hundred meters away from the camp, felt the ground and air vibrate, and then a strong smell of gunpowder smoke rose from where the oak barrels had been.
When the smoke cleared, the camp fence that was originally standing was now falling apart. Logs that were held by one person within three meters of the oak barrel were broken in half. The fire collapsed or flew away directly. Even behind the fence Several unlucky ones were also blown six or seven meters away. They fell to the ground and did not move. They seemed to have lost their vitality.
"This this……"
Allen was stunned, pointing at the changes in the distance, looking back at Fili, who was holding a pearl of wisdom next to him, and couldn't even speak coherently.
