Chapter 171 The Imperial Merchant of Cathay

In the desolate dark land, a huge caravan was slowly advancing. Compared with those smuggling merchants, this caravan was obviously different.

At the front are thousands of soldiers holding spears and riding horses. The armor they wear is obviously different from that of humans in the empire. There are countless iron sheets like fish scales covered in layers, and more soldiers are not wearing armor. Just wearing thick cloth and walking silently.

You must know that a set of Sinian equipment weighs about fifty kilograms. It is impossible for soldiers to run around wearing the same equipment every day, otherwise they will die of exhaustion before they reach their destination.

At the front of the team is a golden-clawed dragon flag, symbolizing their identity and noble status.

"Hey~ Uncle, how long do we have to walk~, I'm too tired and can't walk."

"Hold it up, let you go out and see the world. You have back pain every day. What else can you do? You will serve as a soldier for Mr. Zhaoming in the next two years. You are such a bear and you won't be cut off by the officials."

After a year, merchants from Cathay have once again embarked on this dangerous trade route. Under the threat of Lin Mu’s tribe, many well-informed big businessmen have given up on the trade route at Demon Dragon Pass. They would rather take the northern trade route. I don’t want to deal with the greenskins when I go to the territory of the Chaos Dwarves.

However, the reduction of merchants also meant that they could not receive high taxes. Zhaoming had no choice but to send soldiers to open up trade routes with them. For the soldiers of Cathay, the merchants of Cathay still supported them. For this reason, some bold The businessman purchased a new batch of goods and followed the soldiers, hoping to be the first to eat the crabs.

However, the businessmen's calculations suddenly clicked, and the Alchemy Master who was in charge of leading the team quit: "These guys actually got me for nothing! Send a team of cavalry to escort them, and wait for them to sell the goods in Ask them to pay, and if they don’t agree, just rush back.”

The merchants will naturally not refuse such a request. They are the ones who make the most of it. If they refuse, it would be really ignorant of the current affairs. The military master is so annoying to these people in the wilderness. Killing them is just a matter of words. .

In order to open up trade routes, Zhao Ming also did enough homework. You must know that the Assin clan's assassination and intelligence organization of the rat people were learned from the Cathay people.

Cathay naturally has these various organizations and institutions in terms of assassinations and gathering intelligence. Zhaoming also has its own channels. Cathay's hidden guards are obviously much more skilled than the special forces boys of the Iron Head Tribe. Although they cannot enter the tribe's hinterland but still some useful information can be observed on the periphery.

Unnoticed by the greenskins, the Hidden Guard circled around the entire Plain of Bones and then retreated. At this time, the Plain of Bones was at the peak of large-scale development, and a large number of steam equipment was exposed in the open space, making it impossible for people to understand. Its presence cannot be ignored.

The figures of the rat-goblins in coats busy together were so weird in the eyes of the hidden guards. What kind of tribe was this? Their strong curiosity made the hidden guards want to go deep into the depths of the tribe and discover the secrets of this green-skinned tribe. clear.

But the last thing a Hidden Guard should have is curiosity. After weighing the pros and cons, the Hidden Guard withdrew from the Plains of Bones and returned to Cathay.

After getting the information from the Hidden Guard, even Zhao Ming, who is a divine dragon, was a little surprised. Zhao Ming knew that foreign creatures like green skins were born with the knowledge of forging iron tools, but after that, the green skins would start to fight endlessly. fight and not interested in other things.

As the imperial merchant team composed of Cathay troops and merchants continued to move forward, it also caused a lot of panic among the local creatures along the way. Even the honest trolls found a mound to hide.

The Emperor of Cathay is also deliberately high-profile. Everywhere he goes, even the passing Steppenwolf will be slapped twice. Such a high-profile naturally has its own purposes. One is to show off his military power, and the other is to arouse the green skins' anger. Note that in the reports of more than a dozen hidden guards, they all mentioned the reconnaissance force that discovered the greenskins.

Although the methods of these green-skinned scouts were very clumsy in the eyes of the Hidden Guards, this was something they had never observed.

As the leader of a place, Zhao Ming also took advantage of the opportunity of opening up trade routes to observe the meaning of this new green-skinned tribe.

The caravan advanced along the Tusk Road until it reached the Whistling Plains before discovering the greenskins. Hundreds of greenskins riding war boars and wargs were driving away a pack of about two hundred wolves.

The goblin skillfully stretched out the wolf pole and dragged out the steppenwolves one by one from the wolf pack. The wolves that wanted to fight back were unable to fight back in the hands of the orcs riding war pigs.

However, the sudden appearance of humans made the greenskins who were busy hunting nervous. They let go of their prey one after another. The Cathay Alchemy Master in charge of leading the team opened the curtain of the carriage and popped his head out.

The two sides faced each other in such a strange posture for a moment. The greenskins quickly climbed onto their mounts. The orcs took off their cutting axes from their backs and put their pure iron helmets on their heads. As the helmet masks moved, Putting it down, the orc slapped the war pig's butt with the battle ax and ran towards the Cathay caravan.

"Haha! It's ridiculous that the earthworm wants to shake the tree." Nearly two hundred cavalrymen ran out of the team and ran into the green-skinned war pig boys.

The sharp fangs of the war pig pierced the chest of the war horse. The Cathay soldiers on the war horse also stabbed their spears at the orc war pig. At the same time, the goblins riding on the warg had already removed the armor from the warg. The moment the orcs collided with the humans, they turned around and ran away, not caring about the life or death of the orcs.

Such a scene shocked the cavalry commander riding on the dragon colt, and he quickly ordered a group of horse archers to pursue them. However, the people of Cathay were more than shocked.

The surrounded orcs took out a dozen explosive packets from nowhere, blasted a gap in the cavalry's protective circle, and rushed towards the main force of Cathay.

The bravery of the orcs was not appreciated by others. The alchemist pulled down the curtain on the carriage and said to a middle-aged man on the carriage: "These guys do have some extraordinary qualities, but that's all."

As soon as he finished speaking, hundreds of arrows were shot from behind the team. Cathay's arrows were somewhat similar to those of the high elves. They were all long arrows with a length of one and a half meters. This kind of arrows did not focus on refraction and fighting the enemy alone. , its real power lies in the intensive projectile attack on the enemy.

The slender arrows can directly penetrate the enemy's armor and pin the enemy to the ground. The charging orc cavalry fell to pieces after a round of arrows, leaving only two strong orcs with dozens of holes stuck on their bodies. An arrow climbed up from the ground, and its war pig had been shot into a hedgehog in a volley.

After breaking the arrows on his body, the orc roared angrily: "waaaaagh~" and thought about the caravan again and rushed forward. However, the orc who lost the war pig was quickly overtaken by the cavalry behind him with only his legs.

Just when the cavalryman lowered his spear and wanted to pierce the orc's chest, the orc suddenly fell to the ground and hit the iron knot with two fists.
