call! call! call!

The dense sound of breaking through the air resounded in the wilderness.

Thousands of arrows fell like heavy rain.

Shoot down the dangling figures one by one.

If you look closely, you will see that they are one after another orcs.

However, their hair was withered, their bodies were thin, their teeth were withered and they had lost a lot of their teeth. They were obviously orcs who had a hard time surviving to old age.

They rushed forward in groups, and were covered by a dense rain of arrows, falling in large numbers.

Only a handful of experienced old orcs, relying on some strength and luck, managed to rush to the bottom of the city wall.

Then, dense stones fell from above.

The old orcs stared with cloudy eyes, full of unwillingness and roar.

Plop!

Click!

Soon, they were all dead.

What is particularly strange is that even though thousands of old orcs have died, there are still a steady stream of old orcs emerging from the dense forest.

They're lining up to die!

Such a weird scene is difficult for others to accept.

But under the gaze of the soldiers of the Blood Fortress, everything seemed so natural.

"These orcs are here to die again, save me the time to shoot, and take aim before attacking."

"The number of orcs this year seems to be average. At this time in previous years, tens of thousands would have died."

"Don't use too much force when shooting an arrow. The penetrating power of the arrow is enough when it flies down."

"Don't have too much fun, we have to go down and clean up later."

"But this year is a little strange. Why didn't the young orcs come with you?"

"Who knows? Maybe too many people died when they fought."

"Haha, with the reproductive capabilities of the orcs, no matter how many people die, they can still bring hundreds of thousands over."

"Let the sentries cheer up, don't be attacked by the orcs..."

"..."

The large number of defensive soldiers relied on the shocking height of the Scarlet Fortress of nearly 20 meters to easily resist these old orcs who came to die.

At the same time, they also know that as the weather is about to turn colder, this year's orc attack is coming.

On the hill thousands of meters away, Grieg stared coldly at the blood-red fortress, the anger in his heart constantly building up.

"One day, I'm going to level this place!"

Despite this thought, Grieg turned around and left.

Behind him, a large number of strong orcs were equally angry.

The direction they were traveling in was the dark forest.

…

After receiving the news, 343 thought for a while and issued a warning order.

The sudden arrival of barbarian wanderers caused quite a stir in the eastern provinces.

Although they have been wiped out, there is no guarantee that sporadic barbarian wanderers will not infiltrate.

Many territories have begun to train soldiers and reorganize their armed forces.

However, it is very interesting.

The Thorns Chamber of Commerce, which has become famous recently, has actually started selling various weapons and equipment.

There are rumors leaking out from time to time near Blood Moon City.

Some say an iron mine was discovered in the Gulf Territory.

Some also say that the Gulf Territory and the City Lord have launched an in-depth cooperation, and the two parties have jointly developed the iron ore on the east coast.

Others believe that this is an arrangement for the city lord to prepare for transformation, and he just borrowed the skin of the Thorn Chamber of Commerce.

But no matter what, most of the nobles around Bloodmoon City have no idea about the Thorn Chamber of Commerce selling weapons.

Several other nobles who also sold weapons briefly compared the weapons sold by the Thorn Chamber of Commerce and immediately understood the gap between the two sides.

If it were in the past, facing the Thorn Chamber of Commerce's overreaching behavior, they would have to take action in private.

But facing the Gulf Territory behind the Thorn Chamber of Commerce, the vast majority of the nobles chose to turn off the flames.

The various glorious achievements of the Gulf Territory soldiers were enough to dispel all their thoughts.

What made them think even more was that they found the unique forging traces left by the elemental furnace in the weapons sold by the Thorn Chamber of Commerce!

With this alone, they would not have any thoughts of competing.

Moreover, most of them didn't take it too seriously when faced with dozens or hundreds of sales from the Thorn Chamber of Commerce.

If they can't sell it nearby, they can still sell it to other areas. With the sales network they have woven for hundreds of years, at most they only need to add a shipping fee.

Of course, these families would naturally be unhappy if the freight was added for no reason.

Moreover, they are also deeply afraid of the rapidly developing Thorn Chamber of Commerce and the Gulf Territory.

"Restrict their development and don't let them get too arrogant!"

Regarding this proposal, the nobles around Blood Moon City all joined in with a tacit understanding.

They will no longer sell any supplies to the Gulf Territories, nor will they buy any of the various things they produce.

Then, there is no more.

Because they soon discovered that the Gulf Territory only needed two things.

Raw materials for various production materials, as well as various refugees and populations.

In the former, the Thorns Chamber of Commerce keeps buying from other places.

Even if they wanted to interfere, they couldn't.

Unless you use evil hands, but no one dares to do it now!

As for the latter, no one will interfere.

Every noble's territory needs talents, talents who can bring them more benefits.

Rather than the refugees who need to spend a lot of time and energy to appease.

The most critical point is that refugees will bring all kinds of problems.

The most fatal thing is the safety issue.

Many lords fell into the hands of assassins who infiltrated the refugees.

Over time, the vast majority of nobles have reached a consensus.

If you need talents, train them yourself. You may be lacking in ability, but at least you are loyal and safe.

They cannot interfere in these two aspects, so the impact on the Gulf Territory will be minimal.

If it were in the past, before the Thorns Chamber of Commerce had grown in size.

Restricting them from selling blood-activating potions will greatly restrict the economic lifeline of the Gulf Territory.

However, as their understanding of overseas territories continued to deepen, most lords felt deeply helpless.

There are more and more ways for them to make money.

Not only does he have channels of his own, but he also seems to be integrated with the city lord.

Especially in recent days, the Gulf Territory seems to have begun to purchase supplies from the City Lord.

They were both envious and helpless.

While he calmed down a little, he unconsciously had other thoughts.

If you can't beat it, why not join?

The Gulf Territory can make money with the City Lord, but can it make money with us?

When some nobles began to have different ideas, the restrictive alliance fell apart before it even started to take effect.

Then, these representatives representing the nobility discovered something that everyone was very interested in from the bustling swamp ruins camp.

The Gulf Territory decided to increase its investment in further developing the swamp ruins!

Moreover, they also set out a very lucrative task.

"Mission goal: hunt the Sky-Breaking Lizard."

"Quest number: 10,000 adventurers."

"Task reward: Kill 1 Sky-Breaking Lizard and get an additional 10 gold coins!"

"Mission time limit: 1 day!"
