Chapter 136 Premonition of Raid
When President Cruise and President Reelsa saw Xu Yi appearing in front of them with a group of elves in strong leather armor and fully armed, they were both stunned.
President Cruise twitched the corners of his mouth, barely showing a smile, and stretched out his hand to President Reelsa: "I would like to admit defeat, President Reelsa, give me the money."
President Reelsa stared at the elves behind Xu Yi for a while, then took out a gold coin from his arms and handed it to President Cruise, shook his head, and sighed: "President Xu is really not an ordinary person, It was an eye-opener for me to actually invite elves as guards."
Seeing the actions of the two, Xu Yi was a little puzzled.
"Did you bet?"
President Cruise smiled and put the gold coin into his pocket and put it away carefully, just like Xu Yi nodded and replied, "Well, I'll make a small bet with President Leelsa, I bet you can hire an elves. Guard, he can't bet. Now, of course I won. Haha..."
Xu Yi was speechless for a while, thinking that one of these two guys is almost fifty years old, and the other is over forty, so he still has the leisure to bet on such a little thing.
What is even more speechless is that both of their chambers of commerce earn millions of gold coins every year. After making a bet, the bet was only a mere one gold coin!
Not bothering to pay attention to the two guys who were still arguing about whether these elves were the guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, Xu Yi's eyes fell on a train not far away, and asked, "Have everything been shipped?"
President Reelsa ended the debate with President Cruise, and replied: "Well, these are the first batch of ore equipment we need to use. Except for those mining magic machines produced by your new flying chamber of commerce, France Erkao Chamber of Commerce also provided a lot of other equipment that must be used, and also sent a few mining experts to follow along. Here. It's over there."
President Cruise and Xu Yi looked at a few people in the distance who were clearly dressed and looked different from the guards of the Renekton Chamber of Commerce, and couldn't help but asked Xu Yi, "President Xu, are you private? What agreement did Li and the Falcao Chamber of Commerce reach? Otherwise, why would President Morgan agree to help so happily this time, and provide so much equipment?"
Xu Yi smiled slightly. He replied vaguely: "When I went to Anweimar City before, I met with Marquis Joseph and talked with him for a while."
President Cruise and President Reelsa looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes at the same time.
This Xu Yi quietly reached some kind of agreement with the Joseph family in secret, which is really excellent.
Now that people have arrived. The supplies were also prepared, and the group no longer delayed, starting from the small town of Samara, and marching mightily towards the Woller werewolf tribe.
This time, the three chambers of commerce plan to open a mine in the Woller werewolf tribe, so the materials prepared are naturally extremely abundant and various. Therefore, the freight convoy consisted of thirty-four large carriages, together with the coachman in charge of the freight and the guards of the three chambers of commerce, the convoy was extremely large.
Before that, including the Renekton Chamber of Commerce, all the human chambers of commerce that did business with the orcs in the Black Rice Wasteland were only at the level of reselling goods to each other. Even if they formed a caravan, it would only be a few Just a carriage. Can't compare to the current team at all.
According to President Reelsa, this caravan is now the largest human caravan that he has seen and heard of entering the Black Rice Wasteland.
The bigger it is, the more noticeable it will be.
So the convoy had just walked out of the small town of Samara and set foot on the Black Rice Wasteland, when the guards of the Renekton Chamber of Commerce reported that someone nearby was monitoring the convoy.
Hearing this news, President Cruise was a little nervous.
"President Raelsa, is the news you received true? Are orcs really eyeing us? Then do you know how many orcs are eyeing us? Is it a big threat? We are enough guards. use?"
President Reelsa shook his head: "I only know that there are orcs eyeing us, but I don't know which orcs they are and how many there are."
"Then what should we do?" President Cruise was a little worried. "If there are too many orcs. What if the guards can't stop it?"
President Leelsa laughed: "Don't worry, the current orcs are no longer a thousand-year-old orcs. Even if there are orcs who really dare to come, it is impossible for them to come too much, we can definitely handle it with our guards. Besides, President Xu also brought fifty elven warriors. They alone are worth hundreds of human soldiers. No problem."
Hearing this sentence, President Cruise was a little relieved. He glanced at the elven warriors who were silently following the convoy on both sides of the convoy at this time, as if he had obtained some comfort.
"President Xu, it would be better if you could bring some dwarf guards." President Cruise suddenly thought of a question. "By the way, I'm very surprised. Why did you bring the elves guards, but not the dwarves? Even the proud elves are willing to serve as the guards of your chamber of commerce. Why don't the dwarves?"
Xu Yi reluctantly replied: "This... The reason is not clear for a while. In short, don't think about the guards of the dwarves for the time being. Even the elf warriors of the Night Song tribe are not strictly speaking. The guard of our chamber of commerce. If you really want to say it, you can only be regarded as a mercenary."
"Then do they follow your command?" President Reelsa smelled a key question.
"I will obey my orders, but the specific command is not under my control. After all, I don't understand how these elven warriors fight." Xu Yi replied.
"It's good to listen to your orders. If anything happens, I hope President Xu will let them fight with the guards of our Chamber of Commerce."
"Good to say."
The road was peaceful at first, but according to the reports of the guards of the Renekton Chamber of Commerce, there were more and more monitors around.
Although these monitors did not take any action, they made the atmosphere in the entire caravan invisibly tense.
According to President Reelsa, when their Chamber of Commerce came to the Black Rice Wasteland to do business, they had encountered many situations of being watched by orcs, but most of the time, the orcs obediently backed away. What kind of action, only very rarely will the real robbery be done.
But no matter which time it was, there were not as many monitors around as this time.
From this, it can be inferred that not only are they making big moves this time, but the Orcs will also make big moves.
And since there is such an obvious big move, the orcs probably won't be willing to retreat like this this time, but will choose to actually do it.
Hearing President Reelsa's analysis, President Cruise became worried again.
He suggested that it would be better to go back and ask the Kingdom's army to assist in the escort, but President Leelsa directly rejected it.
This caravan operation is a private operation of the Chamber of Commerce, and has nothing to do with the kingdom's military.
Without an order, the kingdom's army will never come to guard the private chamber of commerce.
Although the three of them have connections and abilities, they can give orders to the kingdom's army through Earl Satsuma, but this kind of thing is indispensable. Even if the kingdom's army can serve as the escort this time, can it be the next time?
Not to mention that the three chambers of commerce are going to mine in the Woller werewolf tribe, so they can't let the kingdom's army keep assisting in protecting their mines.
"The orcs are a race that attaches great importance to force. If we can't take this opportunity to deter all the orcs in the Black Rice Wasteland, then even if the mine is opened in the future, I'm afraid it will never be peaceful." Seriously stated his true intentions. "So this time, we must take this opportunity to hurt these orcs, and let them always remember, don't provoke us in the future!"
"I support." Xu Yi immediately expressed his attitude. "It's better to do it once and for all than to be on guard every day."
Both of them expressed their attitude so clearly, and President Cruise naturally had nothing to say, only to express his support.
According to President Reelsa's experience, because orcs are generally much smarter than humans, the time for robbery is mostly at night.
According to the distance between the small town of Salam and the Woller werewolf tribe, the convoy only takes one day to arrive.
So if the orcs want to rob, there is only one chance tonight.
So after Xu Yi heard this analysis, regardless of the bumps on the carriage, he immediately fell back to sleep.
Xu Yi didn't wake up until the evening, when the convoy stopped somewhere in the wasteland to set up camp.
Seeing that President Reelsa was busy commanding the guards to camp, Xu Yi jumped out of the carriage and came to an elf of the Night Song tribe and asked, "Hey, Fario, how is the situation?"
This elf named Fario was the leader of the fifty elven warriors.
According to the agreement reached between Elder Elushia and Xu Yi, Xu Yi can order these elves to accomplish what goals, but the specific command will be carried out by Fario, and Xu Yi does not need to intervene.
Xu Yi naturally trusts Fario's profession more, and naturally doesn't point fingers at these elves, so he didn't come to ask about the situation until now.
No matter what Fario thought in his heart, he still showed great respect to Xu Yi on the surface, gave him a salute and replied, "Master President, I have smelled the stench of those orcs from the wind, and felt them Maliciousness. From what I know of them, they should attack tonight."
"Well, that's fine. Let's help the other guards to protect the caravan tonight." Xu Yi paused, then said, "But I hope you will give priority to protecting your own safety. It doesn't matter if the goods are gone, but If you are injured or even killed, it is an irreparable loss, understand?"
Fario's eyes moved slightly, and nodded in response: "Follow your order."
