Chapter 42: The Pit of Brahshu

Therefore, Iron Wolf immediately called a group of subordinates for a meeting to discuss, and then formulated a battle plan, pretending to agree to the Ithilien family's negotiation requirements, and then pre-arranged a very insidious sealing circle.

This sealing circle is called the Borasi Mire. It can create a designated area into a terrifying mire swamp where the ghost and god Borasi live. Enemies in it will be entangled by a variety of negative effects. Although it has no direct lethality, The purpose is not to kill or anything like that, but to imprison.

What's more important about this sealing array is that it can be arranged in other places in advance, and then targeted at a certain area to cover and use it, and it will take effect quickly. In this case, no matter how the enemy checks the meeting and negotiation area in advance, it will be of no avail. .

In the end, the Ithilien family was successfully tricked, and several high-level officials were trapped in the quagmire of Borasi and would not be able to get out for a while. The Iron Wolf ordered the internal forces to activate and let them start to cause civil strife. At the same time, people outside also Begin a general offensive.

The Ithilien family was caught off guard and immediately became distressed. However, the previous conflict between them and the mercenaries was already very intense, so the entire valley's outer defenses quickly fell. However, the Ithilien family seemed to have already had a plan, and once again Retracted , entering the core area of ​​the valley. After all, this family has been operating here for hundreds of years, so there is a towering castle in the core area. It is almost certain that this castle happened to be built on the site of the Holy Sage. On the ruins that appeared after the crash.

And why did the Ithilien family hire mercenaries before? It was because they were short of manpower to defend the entire valley. However, after they retreated to the castle, the area that needed to be defended was reduced by more than ten times. Therefore, the manpower in the family was enough at once. Not to mention that the defense was impregnable, but it was also very impressive. The offensive organized by the Sons of Meath came to a complete standstill.

However, although the offensive was frustrated and failed to capture the opponent's castle in one go, Tie Lang looked at the statistical information compiled by his men at this time. The original sullen expression suddenly disappeared, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if he had been beaten. Like a shot in the arm.

No wonder the Ithilien family wants to negotiate peace even if they have the family castle as a back-up. It turns out that while the outside of the valley was transformed into a defensive fortress by them, there were several workshops and factories built inside the valley. After all, it is so huge. A family consumes astronomical amounts of wealth every day. It must have a steady stream of economic income to support it, otherwise it will be drained in minutes.

It has now been found that the most valuable property of the Ithilien family in the valley is a whetstone mine, and this is a high-quality whetstone mine. The high-quality whetstone produced will play a role in the refining and forging industries. Wide range of effects.

Intuitively speaking, the status of this whetstone mine on the earth is roughly equivalent to the value of a titanium ore and an aluminum ore. At the same time, this whetstone is also accompanied by flash stones and flame stones, which increases the value of this rich mine by 30%.

Secondly, valuable

It is an alchemy potion workshop that has been in operation for more than a hundred years. This thing especially values ​​​​the foundation, not to mention the inventory in the wine cellar in this winery, and even the dozens of pots and pans used to store pharmaceutical raw materials. Medicine pools are hard to buy if you have money, because it is said that a good medicinal pool can even improve the quality of the raw materials.

The older the alchemical potion workshop, the better the quality of the alchemical potions produced, and it can increase the refining efficiency of certain alchemical potions. It is said that with Remy's help, such a powerful potion can only be successfully refined in an alchemy potion workshop called Nanshan in Ghent, and this alchemy potion workshop has been passed down for more than a thousand years.

And in this valley, there is also a vineyard and winemaking workshop. The production of grapes for winemaking actually requires very high quality. The soil quality and water source where the grapes are grown will cause subtle changes in the quality of the grapes, which is decisive for the taste of the wine. Therefore, even if the same grape variety is transplanted in another place and used to make wine using the same method, the final taste will be very different.

At this time, thousands of bottles of wine found in winemaking workshops were of excellent taste and were rare high-quality products. Each bottle could be sold at a high price.

The Ithilien family not only owns rich mines, but also owns alchemy and pharmacy workshops, vineyards, and winemaking workshops. It can be said that they have three hens that can lay golden eggs. No wonder they can rise and stand for hundreds of years, and even more so when they encounter foreign enemies. During a raid, you can easily call in a large number of people to help.

And this is only their superficial strength, the real hidden strength is all in this strong castle deep in the valley! From this point of view, there is indeed a reason why their secret has not been revealed.

Of course, for Tie Lang, he felt at ease when he caught these three hens that laid golden eggs. After all, he had gambled his credit and life savings before, and now he was taking a big gamble. The profits he received not only recouped the cost, but also made a small profit. More importantly, now that he had obtained these tangible profits, it was equivalent to having a good subject matter that he could find. VCs are making a big deal out of it

"Brother, I recently started a project. Now the first phase of the project has been successful and has brought good returns. There are three whetstone mines, five century-old alchemy workshops, three winemaking workshops, and a vineyard of ten thousand acres. These are the ores and associated minerals mined from the whetstone mine. Here is a photo of the century-old alchemy workshop. The wine we just drank was produced by the workshop. You are welcome to visit at any time! Bring 20 bottles back for your family to taste later."

"What? The income from the second phase, which involves ancient ruins, is at least ten times the previous income! Ah? You want to invest money, sorry. Ah, it's only 10% of the share, I have to leave some for others, we are all brothers"

"20%? No, no, at most 18%! I can only give 18%, so I have to talk to others more, don't worry, you can rest assured, I will send the plan later, our project will definitely be fine!"

""

So, the thing that the Ithilien family was most worried about happened, that is, Iron Wolf used the robbed resources to endorse, successfully fooled a group of suckers, and then used the money these suckers took out to deal with them, this is called burning other people's money and doing your own business!!

Du Yuqi did not participate in the series of offensive and defensive battles around the castle. First, it was because this kind of thing was a thankless chore, and second, Du Yuqi knew that he had attacked twice and had attracted enough hatred. If he appeared on the battlefield again, he might be instantly focused.

Therefore, Du Yuqi stayed in the rear to do the work of saving the dying and healing the wounded. In fact, after he successfully treated Babylon, his reputation here became quite loud, and his treatment method was cheap, economical and affordable. Although it was useless in emergency situations, it was a very good choice after returning with injuries.

So the most people who came to Du Yuqi were the Berserkers. Once they went to battle, they would charge at the front and often get seriously injured, but because of their professional abilities, their survivability was much higher. However, Xi often rushed out to fight, and the power of the mutated Terra Stone absorbed was gradually integrated together, and he could use it freely.

As time went on, the Son of Ramis was not so anxious, because under the lobbying of Iron Wolf, they obtained a strong injection of resources, and they could slowly consume the opponent. However, the Ithilien family showed a clear decline. After all, there were more and more enemies besieging, and they were fighting alone. There was no way to fight such a hopeless battle.

In this situation, Tielang and others discussed it and put forward a slogan, that is, the surrenderers would be spared from death, and the first fifty people who surrendered could keep half of their wealth and treasures. In order to make the other party believe, Tielang also swore an oath in the name of ghosts and gods under the city. In this way, if they broke the oath, they would be swallowed by ghosts and gods.

As a result, this trick really worked. Two or three hundred people escaped directly from the castle that night. They were really scrambling for each other. Tielang did not make it difficult for these people. He just detained them temporarily. The next day, in front of everyone in the castle, he took away half of their property and let them go, showing that he kept his word.      0hyg
