Chapter 156: Attracting Investment
The stealth skill of the thief profession does not make the user disappear completely. This skill only makes the user more difficult to detect. If the stalker is too close to the target, he will still be noticed and discovered.
And you can't make big movements when in stealth state, otherwise the stalker will be exposed immediately.
Yang Yi used stealth skills to get close to Lu Xiaoming and the others. These people from the Qin Kun Society rarely dealt with the aboriginal thieves profession and did not have enough awareness to guard against stalkers. Yang Yi smoothly sneaked close and overheard the conversation between them. The content of the speech.
"This kid, Lu Xiaoming, indeed tipped off the Kokar centaurs again. These centaurs want to steal food." Yang Yi analyzed it. Although Lu Xiaoming and the others did not speak clearly, they mentioned Ratchet Town many times. Murlocs transport food to backwater oasis.
Building a backwater oasis is not something that can be completed in a day or two. Food and construction materials cannot be transported at once. The murlocs of Ratchet Town are still delivering food and materials to the backwater oasis one after another.
The Kokar centaurs burned, killed and robbed everywhere. In addition to their natural tendency to destroy, more importantly, the food source of the nomadic centaurs was not stable, and they often needed to rely on looted food to survive.
"Adventurers have good ears and eyes. Any big move made by the aboriginal people will be immediately known to the adventurers. You have to be careful."
After Yang Yi inquired about the news, he quietly retreated. They didn't plan to trouble Lu Xiaoming for the time being, and they might still be of great use if they were kept.
The Kokar Centaur was coming again. After Yang Yi got the information, he went back to Bain to discuss ways to deal with the Centaur.
The current backwater oasis is deserted and guarded by tauren and fishmen. Compared with attacking the backwater oasis, it is more tempting to snatch food. Therefore, the centaurs turn their attention to the transportation of the fishmen in Ratchet Town. Team.
Under the fierce attack of the tribal alliance, Virogo Khan of the Backwater Oasis took the remaining centaurs of the tribe and fled to the Sweetwater Oasis in the west. This is the largest gathering place of the Kokal Centaurs in the Barrens and the Barrens. The area controlled by the Centaur tribe of the Centaur Archkhan Hezrul Bloodseal.
Verogo fled after his defeat. He rested in the Sweetwater Oasis for a few days, and then the fleeing centaur warriors and herdsmen gradually came to join him.
At this time, Verogo received news that the fishmen and tauren had begun to cooperate to build a new stronghold in the backwater oasis, and a large amount of food and other materials were being continuously transported from Ratchet Town to the backwater oasis.
Verogo is known as "Fanatical" and his fighting spirit never stops. After being defeated by the tribal alliance, he wanted revenge. After receiving the news, Verogo quickly left the Sweetwater Oasis with the remaining three hundred centaur warriors of the tribe.
Five days later, the Kokar centaur who was camping in a hidden valley received news that a group of fishmen came out of Ratchet Town carrying a large amount of supplies, and they were rushing to the Sweetwater Oasis.
"Okay, let's get all these supplies back."
Verogo immediately led the centaurs of the tribe to snatch the supplies delivered by the fishmen.
The scouts sent by the centaurs kept reporting the news. Half a day later, Verogo led the centaur team to catch up with the murloc team that was escorting the supplies.
More than a hundred murlocs and ten kodo beasts transporting goods, this is a big target.
"Kokkar centaur warriors, kill those damn fishmen and get everything back." Virogo was very excited and shouted loudly.
"Kill all the fishmen!"
"Kill all the fishmen!"
The Kokar centaurs roared desperately. These murlocs who were supposed to be free of human flesh actually defeated them twice in a row. This made these centaurs feel great shame and they must avenge their shame.
Looting and transporting teams was a familiar task for the Kokar centaurs. More than three hundred centaurs roared hard, and they rushed towards the murloc transport team under the leadership of Virogo Khan.
“The centaurs are coming!
"Run!"
When the murlocs transporting supplies saw a large group of Kokar centaurs charging towards them, they immediately abandoned the kodo beasts and the cargo and fled.
"Haha, look at these timid fishmen."
"Khan, do you want to give chase?"
Verogo glanced at the murlocs who had gotten into the bushes beside the road. The bushes were not conducive to the movement of the centaurs, so he issued an order: "Don't pursue them all, and take away the things they grabbed."
The centaurs all retreated after receiving the order, and they cheered loudly around the five cargo kodos they had easily snatched.
"Okay, let's first take a look at what these Kodo beasts are carrying." Verogo asked the tribe's centaurs to stop cheering, and he ordered people to check the looted things.
"Khan, all the kodo beasts carry is food!"
Several centaurs opened the linen bag on the kodo and found that it was full of mushrooms and seaweed.
"These low-level fishmen who live on seaweed should be damned as trash fish." Verogo couldn't help cursing after seeing that most of the supplies were seaweed. The seaweed eaten by these fishmen was simply unpalatable to the centaurs.
Fortunately, there are a lot of edible mushrooms here, and we also got ten kodo beasts to transport goods. If necessary, the kodo beasts can be killed and eaten.
Verogo and the others transported the things and supplies they had snatched from the fishmen back to the hidden valley where they were stationed. At the backwater oasis, Yang Yizheng and Bain were waiting for news in the hotel built by Bain. Mu Xiao was still standing beside them. orchid.
Not long after, Scarface Ajie walked in quickly and reported: "Verogo led the Centaur team to a hidden valley near the Thorn Ridge in the north, where the Centaur marching camp was built."
"Okay, Poseidon, let's go." Bain said calmly and forcefully.
"Let's go, this time we must make sure that this fanatical Verogo has no return." Yang Yi said.
Yang Yi and Bain walked out of the inn side by side. Outside the inn were 300 fighting murlocs and more than 100 minotaur warriors ready to go, in addition to a team of 100 minotaur kodo cavalry.
There was no time to lose, because it was still impossible to confirm whether there were any adventurers who had informed the Centaur of the Kokar, so Yang Yi and Bain immediately led the team to set off.
At dusk, the coalition forces of murlocs and minotaurs finally arrived near the hidden valley where the Centaur was temporarily stationed.
"Baine, there is a centaur scout on that hill. We have been discovered." Yang Yi said to Baine. He used the eagle eye technique to see a centaur on the hill gesturing towards the valley.
"Let the team move forward quickly." Baine immediately ordered after learning that his whereabouts were discovered by the centaur.
The coalition of murlocs and tauren immediately accelerated their pace and moved towards the valley where the centaurs were stationed.
In the secret valley, more than 300 Kokar centaur warriors were enjoying the food snatched from the murlocs.
This time, the food snatched by the centaurs included seaweed and [red-spotted mushrooms]. This kind of mushroom is not uncommon on the continent of Kalimdor. Centaurs often snatch this kind of mushroom when robbing wild boars, so red-spotted mushrooms are not unfamiliar to them.
Centaur Khan Verogo first asked experienced centaurs to identify these red-spotted mushrooms, and then arranged for several tribesmen to try them first. It turned out that there was no problem, so Verogo distributed these red-spotted mushrooms as food with peace of mind.
Centaurs often rob food, and those who are robbed hate them to the core, so occasionally someone will deliberately poison the food to poison the centaurs. Therefore, the centaurs will carefully identify the robbed food to avoid accidentally eating poison.
The sky began to darken slowly, and it was already evening. Verogo was planning to attack the Dead Water Oasis in the Khan's tent.
At this time, the centaur stone spear ran over to report: "Khan, the centaurs scouting on the nearby high point found a troop heading towards the valley."
"Damn, how could they find this valley so quickly?" Verogo was shocked and angry. Along the way, his centaur team did find a few suspicious foreign humans, but those foreign humans had been shot and killed by the centaurs he sent out.
"Pass the order down, let the centaur warriors in the tribe prepare for battle!"
Verogo knew that now was not the time to consider other things, and he immediately ordered the centaurs to meet the enemy.
More than 300 centaurs quickly gathered in the valley. Verogo inspected his team and found that many centaurs were swaying and their horses were unstable, which made him very angry.
"What are you doing! Do you know what time it is now?" Verogo shouted angrily. The enemy was about to attack, and so many centaurs were out of shape at this time.
"Khan, some tribesmen suddenly have diarrhea." Stone Spear reported.
"Diarrhea? Is there something wrong with those mushrooms!?" Verogo was shocked. He immediately thought that there was something wrong with the stolen red-spotted mushrooms.
At this time, a rumble came from the ground, and the kodo cavalry of the minotaur had approached the valley.
"Khan, it is a joint force of fishmen and minotaurs, more than 400 people, including a team of 100 kodo cavalry." A centaur scout came to report in a hurry.
"Everyone cheer up and get out of this valley first!" Verogo glanced at the tribal warriors who couldn't even stand steadily. He knew that it was impossible to do anything, so he hesitated for a while before giving the order.
The joint team of fishmen and minotaurs ran quickly with the kodo cavalry, and they came to the outside of the valley where the centaurs were stationed.
"I hope those centaurs have eaten all the mushrooms." Yang Yi was looking forward to it at this time.
Yang Yi knew from the beginning that the centaurs were going to rob the fishmen's food transport team, so he asked the fishmen in the town to do some tricks on those [red-spotted mushrooms].
These [red-spotted mushrooms] themselves were not problematic, but the fishmen in Thorntooth Town sprinkled the spores of [poison cap mushrooms] on some of the [red-spotted mushrooms].
The spores of [poison cap mushrooms] and red-spotted mushrooms were mixed together and difficult to distinguish. After accidentally eating the spores of [poison cap mushrooms], people will have diarrhea for several days in a row. Although it will not poison people to death, it is enough to torture people to the point of weakness in their legs and feet.
When Yang Yi and his companions came out of the valley, he found that the centaurs were rushing out of the valley.
"Baine, the one running in the front is the centaur Khan Verogo, they seem to be trying to escape." Yang Yi recognized Verogo from a distance with his eagle vision.
"Tauren warriors, catch up with the centaurs, don't let them run away."
Baine shouted, and he led the kodo cavalry to rush towards the centaurs running out of the valley.
"The remaining weak-legged centaurs will be left to us fishmen, hehe." Yang Yi also found the centaurs that fell behind in the valley. He found that these centaurs were staggering when they ran, and it was obvious that their legs were weak.
"It's time for revenge! Those who go against us, the Thorntooth Fishmen, will never have a good end! Brak, kill the centaurs in the valley, and leave no one alive!" Yang Yi ordered.
"Yes, Lord!"
Brak took the order, and he immediately took the lead in organizing the fishmen to charge the centaurs.
"Walala, walala, lala, lala, lala..."
The fighting fishmen screamed and rushed into the valley, and the tauren warriors followed.
This was a one-sided massacre. The centaurs who were about to collapse from diarrhea were simply unable to resist the joint forces of the fishmen and tauren, and could not even escape, so they could only sit and wait for death.
The battle in the valley ended quickly, and after a few minutes, Bain ran back with the Kodo cavalry.
Under the pursuit of the Kodo cavalry led by Bain, only a small number of centaurs escaped, but the centaur Khan who was stared at by Bain was no longer lucky enough to escape this time. Bain killed the Centaur Khan Verogo.
The victorious murloc and tauren joint forces returned triumphantly. Under Yang Yi's arrangement, the record of the murloc and tauren joint forces defeating the Kokar centaurs was quickly spread.
Outside the inn of Deadwater Oasis, a tall tree trunk was erected, on which was stuck the head of the former Centaur Khan of Deadwater Oasis, Verogo. This crazy centaur was finally killed.
In addition, there were more than 300 heads of Kokar centaurs piled on the ground. Such a scene made all the adventurers passing by look sideways.
In the inn, Yang Yi sat firmly on the main seat. Brack led more than a dozen strong fighting murlocs with weapons standing behind Yang Yi. They stared at the adventurers in the inn with their eyes wide open.
In front of Yang Yi sat several adventurers. These people were the leaders of major forces near the Barrens, including Chen Nanfeng of the Guns and Roses Guild, who Yang Yi was already familiar with, and Xie Fei, the leader of Glory, whom Yang Yi met for the first time.
Xie Fei is a 40-year-old black-haired man with an unusually burly figure. At first glance, he looks like a strong orc. His long black hair draped over his shoulders, making him look like a mighty lion.
"Fuck, Chen Nanfeng looks handsome, and Xie Fei looks mighty and majestic. Are they ready to be the boss right from the moment they crawl out of their mother's womb?" Yang Yi looked at the outstanding appearance of the two and felt a pain in his teeth.
These bigwigs from the adventurer forces gathered here to discuss the investment in the construction of the Dead Water Oasis. These people were not willing to show off their eagles until the joint forces of the murlocs and minotaurs defeated the Kokar Centaurs.
"Look at how sensible the Holy Sword Knights are, and these guys are fence-sitters. We can't let them get away with it." Yang Yi looked at the leaders of these big forces and thought that he would make a lot of money from them.
"We, Guns and Roses, are willing to invest 1,000 gold coins." Chen Nanfeng made the decision first. He was the one who knew the Ratchet Town fishmen best among the people present.
Chen Nanfeng's Guns and Roses is different from organizations like Qin Kunhui. Some of the members of Qin Kunhui were recruited on Earth, so the cohesion is much stronger than that of Guns and Roses. Although there are many members in a guild like Guns and Roses, the members are relatively loose, and the larger the guild, the more various expenses there are. It is already amazing that they can take out 1,000 gold coins at once.
"We invest 100 gold coins."
"I invest 200 gold coins."
"300 gold coins, but we have additional conditions."
...
Under the leadership of Chen Nanfeng, the leaders of several adventurers spoke up one after another.
"We, Glory, want to invest 10,000 gold coins." Xie Fei spoke last, and he said steadily.
Everyone present looked at Xie Fei, 10,000 gold coins!
This is really a big deal!
All the leaders present are leaders of major forces, and they have seen the world. They didn't make a sound, waiting for Xie Fei to make his next request.
"We at Glory want to invest in the new base of Dead Water Oasis." Xie Fei looked at Yang Yi and said slowly. .
