Chapter 514 515 Negotiation
Chapter 514 515. Negotiation
The three-masted sailing ship was docked next to the simple pier. The sea breeze was blowing, and the flags on the mast were fluttering in the wind.
This wharf built of logs and planks was once in ruins due to the harassment of fish-man spirits. However, since Roy took a magic airship and raided the Sun Island with more than 700 gryphon cavalry, the sea The group of slug-like fish-man monsters inside suddenly disappeared.
In the waters along the north coast, it is difficult to see those murlocs that waddle as they walk.
On the coastline, a group of gryphon cavalry transported some sharp stone pillars from the air. These stone pillars were brought back from the stalagmite forest two kilometers away.
They lined up and threw the slender stone pillars into the sea two hundred meters away from the pier. The stone pillars were nailed into the sea to form an arc-shaped seawall. This seawall only left a fifteen-meter-wide gap in the middle. .
Fifteen thousand stalagmites four to five meters long are nailed into the sea, tracing the outline of the sea wall.
The gryphon cavalry will then fly to the top of the cliff further away, transport some bluestones weighing four to five hundred kilograms from there, and fill the gaps in the stone pillars little by little. When all the gaps in the stone pillars are filled with bluestones, this sea will The embankment has finally taken shape.
This method of reclamation and embankment to resist the fishmen of Sun Island was not what Roy had thought of.
When the Silver Moon Elves and the Naga Sea Clan started fighting on the Queen Egweni Islands, the elves used this method to resist the surprise attack by the Naga Sea Clan army.
Although it is a bit troublesome, it can block the tide to a certain extent.
Currently, the Griffin Cavalry has been in a semi-resting state. Finding something to do for them can actually lighten the burden in their hearts.
The Mine Guard Corps has been stationed at Sun Island Bay for more than three months, but the battle situation here is still not so clear. Although the fish-men and monsters have temporarily retreated to the vicinity of Sun Island, no one knows when they will suddenly Appearing on the North Coast…
These griffins are level three monsters. They can easily grab a one-horned bison with their sharp claws, and stones weighing hundreds of kilograms are not difficult for them at all.
In just one week, the rough outline of the seawall was drawn on the seaside using stalagmites.
Now the Griffin Cavalry is filling the seawall with rocks every day. This seawall is built simultaneously from the left and right sides of the pier and continues to extend into the sea. When Roy left the jungle camp, the two seawalls had already extended into the sea. More than a hundred meters.
Miss Tiffany and the mayor of Tiprado are jointly responsible for building this sea wall...
…
Lysander's pack team has already rushed to Padstow City by land carrying twelve aerodynamic devices and two propulsion devices.
Roy took Kaka's griffon and flew to Padstow City first.
Following him to Padstow City, in addition to the four dwarf apprentices, there were also sixty mixed elves who came with the magic airship.
These mixed elves are currently learning to operate magic airships with four dwarf apprentices. In the future, they will drive these eleven three-masted sailing ships respectively.
These sixty mixed-blood elf warriors are the first group of elves to follow Roy. They have extremely high loyalty to Roy...
Roy sat on the back of the griffin, facing the wind, squinting his eyes, and thought of what Miss Tiffany said to him:
'I heard that the fishmen in Sun Island Bay said that Sun Island was occupied by a sea beast priest a long time ago. When the sea beast priest came to Sun Island Bay, he brought a large group of sea monsters with him, but later some sea monsters came one after another. They left Sun Island Bay one after another. So far, there are only six sea monsters left in Sun Island Bay. And I heard that the sea monster priest is about to die. He lives in a spring cave on the island. Now the entire cave is full of people. It exudes a strong stench of corpse decay. ’
'I guess that the Sea Beast Priest must have been under the influence of undead magic or curse magic. With his last breath left, he hid in the cave and was clinging to life...'
'And I heard that the remaining sea monsters are not so harmonious, and they are roughly divided into two groups: five of them are close followers of the sea beast priest Latimore, and the other sea monster is alone. In the past, he was originally the most capable confidant, but later there was some estrangement for some reason. ’
‘The singing sea monster we met on the beach was the solitary sea monster. The sea monsters we met during the negotiation were the cronies of the sea beast priest Lattimore. ’
'I heard that there is a gap between the sea monster and the sea monster priest... So, I have been trying to contact the lonely sea monster recently, but she is very wary and has been unwilling to contact me...'
When she said this, Miss Tiffany sighed softly, seeming to feel a little regretful that she could not chat with the sea monster.
The previous information was obtained by Miss Tiffany from some murlocs in Sun Island Bay.
It is not too easy for a Naga Sea Tribe to obtain information from those fish-men who have the intelligence of seven or eight-year-old children...
Although Miss Tiffany has some means of self-protection, Roy still disapproves of Miss Tiffany taking such risks.
After all, she was facing a group of sirens that were stronger than her, and the sirens and the naga were just like elves and orcs—natural enemies.
What's more, Miss Tiffany and the sea monster had fought against each other before. If Roy hadn't arrived in time, Miss Tiffany might have been killed by the sea monster.
Now she actually wants to come to her door. She is simply looking for death.
There is a sea beast priest hidden on Sun Island, which Roy never expected.
The sea beast priest is a second-level strongman, and each sea beast priest has a powerful contracted sea beast.
The contract partner of the sea beast priest on Sun Island is a giant octopus.
When the magic airship arrived at Sun Island a few days ago, Roy also saw the horror of this giant octopus with his own eyes. Roy didn't know how big its body was yet, but several tentacles covered with suction cups and striped tentacles stretched out from the sea, and they could stretch more than a hundred feet into the sky. It can be seen that this giant octopus is definitely not too small.
Before leaving, Roy also told more than a dozen squadron leaders of the mine guard group that once a huge sea beast appeared in the bay of Sun Island, they must not fight hard, but must withdraw from the beach to the dense forest in time. If the dense forest is not so safe, then retreat to the stalagmite forest.
I originally thought that Sun Island Bay was just occupied by a group of subhuman fishmen, but I didn't expect that there was actually a sea beast priest hiding on Sun Island...
In fact, Roy had also considered whether to lead the mine guard group to withdraw from Sun Island Bay to Pagisto Plateau. After all, the opponent was a powerful second-level expert.
Even if it was a second-level expert who was about to die, he was still a strong man!
...
Roy thought for a long time and finally decided not to withdraw the mine guard group for the time being. Not only would he not withdraw the mine guard group, he would also build a seaport pier on the north coast of Sun Island Bay, and also build a seawall outside the pier as a defensive fortification.
According to the news revealed to Roy by Captain Berkeley, there are actually some second-level experts in the Silver Pegasus Legion, but those second-level experts are all high-level legion leaders at the same level as Earl Swinburne.
In the past hundred years, the second-level experts in the legion have rarely appeared, and their existence is more like a symbol of the strength of the Silver Pegasus Legion.
Roy thought that in this quarter, the mining income paid by Pagisto Plateau to the Silver Pegasus Legion had exceeded 100,000 magic crystals.
The money had been paid, and since such a thing had happened, the Silver Pegasus Legion should also provide some military assistance. Although the Silver Pegasus Legion's troops were firmly tied to the Queen Ewenni Islands, if the Legion wanted to send two second-level strongmen, it should be able to deal with the dying sea beast priest...
If the Silver Pegasus Legion was unwilling to send second-level strongmen to Sun Island Bay, Roy actually made another preparation, which was to go to the Mercenary Union in Castletown City to hire two second-level strongmen and ask them to come to Sun Island Bay to completely solve the sea beast priest.
Recently, Roy not only made a lot of magic crystals from the trade of metal ingots, but also the income from another primary magic herb trade also accounted for a large proportion of the total income. In a word: the wallet is full of magic crystals.
Roy had already thought about it. If the Silver Pegasus Corps refused to send a second-turn warrior to Partington Plane for support, then he would use money to send two second-turn warriors...
As for the reason why Roy was unwilling to give up Sun Island Bay, it was not only because of the request of the village chief Tiprado, but more importantly, he had already taken a fancy to Sun Island Bay. Once it was controlled by the half-blood elves, the rich fishery resources might meet the food needs of the entire Partington Plane.
By then, even if the portal was still closed, Partington Plane would have both a fishing ground and an orchard, and the half-blood elves would not have to worry about food in the future...
This was also the second reason why Roy insisted on occupying Sun Island Bay.
In addition, Roy wanted to occupy Sun Island Bay mainly because there were nearly 10,000 half-blood elves living in seclusion in the jungle north of this coastline of more than 300 kilometers.
At present, the total number of half-blood elves on the Pagisto Plateau did not exceed 70,000. In order to have enough control over the Pagisto Plateau, after all, the headhunter prisoners of war in the Plateau City had exceeded 10,000.
Roy could only let the mine guard group expand frantically...
The current mine guard group has almost 10,000 half-blood elf warriors, accounting for one-fifth of the total population of half-blood elves on the Padstow Plateau.
But these troops... compared with the existing prisoners of war on the plateau, are still below the danger line.
That is to say, once the headhunter prisoners of war in the plateau city riot, Roy will not be able to control the riot in the first time.
Not only that, the development of the Padstow Plateau is seriously restricted by the half-blood elf population. The mines in the Caldim Mountains and the Nicobar Mountains are still in a state of abandonment, and there are not enough people to develop other mines on the plateau.
So if the half-blood elves on the Sun Island Bay can also be absorbed, the total population of half-blood elves can be increased a little more.
...
Roy arrived at Padstow City smoothly with four dwarf apprentices and sixty half-blood elves. He did not stay in Padstow City and returned directly to Partington Island through the portal.
The second magic airship on Partington Island was installing a propulsion device on the beach. Under the command of the old dwarf Mags, the transformation of the three-masted sailing ship was progressing quickly...
After sending the four dwarf apprentices back to Partington Island, Roy came to Padstow City again.
Because the herb merchant Augustus came back from the Blackwater Swamp, Roy needed to talk to Augustus about the next magic herb procurement plan.
As the magic herb market became more and more popular, although the Silver Pegasus Corps blocked the portal of the Partington plane and restricted various trades in the Partington plane, the smuggling gangs in the Partington plane also gradually developed.
Moreover, most of these smuggling gangs are Silver Moon Elves, and they are also inextricably linked to the Silver Pegasus Corps.
At present, even Roy's trade in primary magic herbs has suffered some impact.
Because magic herbs have multiple channels to flow into the elf continent, the magic herb market in the Partington plane is also continuing to rise...
Roy signed large orders for primary magic herbs, so he hoped that the market price of magic herbs would remain stable, at least not continue to rise.
Roy walked out of the portal in the central square and immediately found a carriage to go to a restaurant where he had an appointment with the merchant Augustus.
Perhaps he had stayed in the Blackwater Swamp for too long. When Roy saw Augustus, he felt that his face had become much more vicissitudes.
He was wearing a brand new set of magic pattern leather armor and stood in front of a tree house waiting for Roy.
Seeing Roy coming down from a carriage, he hurried over to greet him, and the two held hands tightly:
"Boss Roy, long time no see!"
"Long time no see, Augustus."
Augustus led Roy into the tree house, walked up the spiral staircase, and came to a built terrace.
There was only a square table on the terrace, and it was very secluded, perfect for chatting.
After the two sat down, Augustus poured Roy a cup of lemon tea. Roy took the cup and asked directly:
"How many magic herbs can be collected from the Blackwater Swamp?"
"The market for magic herbs has not been very good in recent years. In the past four or five years, herb collectors have hardly set foot in the Blackwater Swamp."
"A large number of magic herbs grow in the depths of the swamp, especially several common primary magic herbs. As long as you dare to walk into the depths of the swamp, you will find some primary magic herbs everywhere..."
Augustus sat opposite Roy and said to him: "The only trouble is that the depths of the swamp are very dangerous. You need some skilled collectors who can avoid the ferocious monsters in the swamp."
"My procurement channel is to know some herb collectors. Even if there are large orders like the one above, I can meet the supply of primary magic herbs."
Augustus said confidently.
"Will the recent smuggling of magic herbs have some impact on your procurement of herbs?" Roy asked.
Augustus smiled proudly:
"Even if they are smuggling, they will smuggle some medium and high-level magic herbs. Who would risk bringing these primary magic herbs through the portal?"
