Chapter 116 Apology and Supply Truck
There was no entertainment at night in another world, so several people, including Su Ya, sat around the fire and listened to Wei Yihong's narration.
At the beginning, when Wei Yihong described the changes in the town, Xu Lai also asked in detail.
But when Wei Yihong later heard that the temple planned to connect the three nearby towns to form a small and medium-sized fortress city as a forward position to resist the orcs, he fell silent after all.
Especially when I heard that in order to build this fortress, not only all the villages and towns in the front were demolished, but also several small town-level villages close to the rear.
In other words, Xu Lai had run far enough back then, and reached a distance that required half a day's effort to even ride a horse. It was still a no-man's land where no one visited the grassland.
Xu Lai calculated that based on their original traveling speed, his Qingfeng Village should be at least 60 kilometers away from those small towns.
You must know that the troops he leads are monsters. Unless the physical strength reaches the bottom, Xu Lai will not rest unless he calls to stop.
The speed of such a march cannot be equal to ordinary walking speed.
However, Xu Lai's location may be an uninhabited land that humans have never entered before.
But now that the orcs are invading in large numbers, the originally open grassland has become crowded, and the orcs will definitely not care whether it is a no-man's land or not.
As long as they break through the frontline fortress, the entire grassland, except for the vicinity of Count Aini's castle, will basically be free for the orcs to roam.
Xu Lai hesitated. He was wondering whether he should move to the rear before the war between the stronghold and the empire broke out.
However, although the rear area is safe, the population is also dense. There will definitely not be such a vast no-man's land for Xu Lai to explore, and his development will be extremely seriously hindered.
"Old Wei, in your opinion, who can win this battle between humans and orcs?"
Xu Lai was also in a hurry and sought medical treatment. How could Wei Yihong guess the result, but he also understood Xu Lai's worries and couldn't help but comfort him:
"Don't worry, boss. Later I met your friend Ryan at the temple. High Priest, I reached some deals with the temple in your name, and took the opportunity to ask for a lot of information."
Xu Lai nodded. He was no longer interested in the transaction at this time and asked directly for the information.
“The orcs are blocked by the Pingfeng Mountains. Currently, only a part of the advance troops, mainly the Wolf Fighters and Wolf Knights, have turned over.
In addition, the orcs’ golden eagles , Dapeng and other flying units, and they are not yet large-scale.
It is said that the orcs also set up a large teleportation array, but unfortunately it failed and was destroyed by a wave of charges from the temple knights, killing hundreds of orc priests.
However, I did not see the corpses of orcs in the town. Instead, many humans were hanged at the gate of the town for various reasons. ”
After listening to the information Wei Yihong inquired about, Xu Lai had a basic understanding of the current situation.
As far as the current situation is concerned, the stronghold does not have high-end combat power. There are many on the human side, but they have basically mastered the air control.
The human race and the orcs have fought several times, and the human race has basically won.
However, there is a steady stream of reinforcements coming over Pingfeng Mountain from the stronghold, and on the human side, the only reinforcements are a knightly group of only 500 people sent by Count Aini.
Both the Northern Empire and the Western Empire were unwilling to send reinforcements on the pretext of war.
High Priest Ryan said that he is still negotiating with Earl Aini, and this grassland is Earl Aini’s territory after all.
The temple will eventually take all the believers and hide inland. By then, Count Ani, who has lost his territory, will become worthless.
Therefore, High Priest Ryan concluded that Earl Aini would eventually bring all the troops up, and coupled with the reinforcements from the temple, the human race would not suffer in terms of high-end combat power.
After all, it was the empire that once drove the orcs into the wild land. Even if it suffered a disaster now, it could not be bullied by anyone.
Besides, the evil camp is attacking one after another, and the tower, which is also a human being, cannot really sit back and watch the human race perish. However, the grudge between the tower and the temple is too deep, and the temple has not sent a request for help to the tower so far.
But the elves and dwarves of the barrier have promised to send reinforcements.
However, because of the long distance, there will not be too many people, but they are mostly elites.
Although the low-level troops of the orcs are far superior to humans, these large numbers of low-level troops are unable to cross the Pingfeng Mountains. In a real fight, the humans have a chance of winning.
After getting the news, Xu Lai felt somewhat at ease, but not completely at ease.
There is always a feeling of entrusting one's life and death to others.
After all, he was still not strong enough. Xu Lai couldn't help but secretly clenched his fists.
For so many days, Xu Lai has not relaxed at all. Originally, he planned to clean up the wild monsters nearby and relax for a day or two.
There are so many black-hearted bosses in modern society, and they do not exploit others in this way. They are either killing monsters or on the way to kill monsters every day. Not only are they physically exhausted, but their spirits are also always highly tense.
If this continues, he will kill himself before the horse thief comes to get him.
But when Wei Yihong said this, Xu Lai gritted his teeth secretly and told himself to persist.
Seeing Xu Lai's expression softening, Wei Yihong recounted the transaction between himself and Ryan. With Tahan present, he did not add fuel to the fire or conceal anything.
After hearing this, Xu Lai glanced at Wei Yihong lightly.
The usual Xu Lai may not be able to tell much difference from before, but on the inside, the Xu Lai of today and the Xu Lai of the past can almost be said to be two completely different people. Not to mention killing real people like horse thieves, even if you kill hundreds of chickens or pigs a day, people will become completely different.
This glance instantly made Wei Yihong's heart skip a beat.
It is not that he has never killed monsters before, but he is a modern salesman with no hands, and he also works in a profession such as a priest that increases intelligence and spirit. Of course, it is impossible for him to do it himself.
Relying on the healing skills passed down from his ancestors, his early land reclamation went smoothly. Not a single soldier died, and he gradually climbed up the ranks.
After upgrading, it will be even more difficult, and it will be easier for him to mix, and he will not have to do it himself.
Therefore, Wei Yihong did not expect that a compatriot who was younger than him would feel frightened just by looking at him.
"Um, boss, I'm sorry, I was wrong about this first. I promised resources other than weapons and equipment without your permission."
After thinking about it, Wei Yihong decided to take responsibility for his mistakes first. Even if he suffered some punishment for it, it didn't matter if all the promised bonuses were deducted.
Xu Lai shook his head and said: "I was also at fault for not taking care of myself.
You are a salesperson, and when you sell products outside, you have to promise something to your customers.
And you did a good job. I planned to swallow all the things I originally seized from the horse thieves.
However, it is impossible for thieves to just grab gold coins. If we don’t have the temple to endorse us, it will be difficult for us to sell those hoarded goods.
The merits and demerits will be equalized. I will not give you any additional rewards, but I will not treat my previous promises as farts.
This time, I probably won’t be able to get back much gold coins. So, the prairie horse you rode out today will be regarded as a bonus for you.
Even if one day you want to find another job, you can take this horse with you.
In addition, if you see any equipment that is suitable for you in the small town market, you can also choose a suitable piece and buy it. What do you think? ”
Wei Yihong was overjoyed. He was a pastor, and his initial mount was not even an ordinary horse, but just a pack horse.
However, even this pack horse, he also sold a lot of money in the market. It was enough for 100 gold coins, and later he paid for another 80 gold coins from his own pocket, and then returned with an ordinary horse that was better to ride.
In the city where he stayed before, an ordinary grassland horse, At least 300 gold coins.
The horse Xu Lai gave him is a good-quality grassland horse with a gentle character and fast speed. The price is estimated to be more than 350 gold coins.
In addition, Xu Lai also promised him a piece of useful equipment, which should be worth more than 400 gold in total.
According to what was said before, he needs to create 4,000 gold extra wealth for Xu Lai in order to get a share of 400 gold.
But he had created some extra wealth, but if those equipment were sold on the market, they would be sold at a higher price, which meant that Xu Lai lost a lot of gold coins.
Of course, he also brought very practical things to Xu Lai.
For example, that map was large and detailed. Except for the no-man's land where he was, all other areas of human activity were basically drawn on it.
When combined with his own map, a rough map of Pingfeng Grassland was almost completed.
There is also the treasure sent from the temple. Ordinary merchants will not take out the treasure and sell it casually. Except for certain people, only nobles and heroes like Xu Lai can use this thing. .
Therefore, except for transactions between nobles, it is not circulated at ordinary times.
[Supply Vehicle] (Small): A small supply vehicle with 3,000 storage spaces inside. Each storage space can store one unit of supplies, regardless of size and weight.
In addition to the threat of thieves' possible sneak attacks, another important reason that restricted Xu Lai's expedition was that his space backpack was not enough.
His space backpack is not divided into compartments like a supply truck. Everything can be stacked together, and only the overall volume is considered.
So, if he wants to lead his troops on an expedition, he must store enough food and arrows. After all, there are no wooden houses in the wild and there is no way to restore arrows to the archers.
But the gold coins, wood, stones, and gems he stored cannot be thrown away or placed in a random place.
These are all his family assets. Once Qingfeng Village is destroyed, he will need these things to start over.
Therefore, the food and arrows he can carry are limited.
But with this supply truck, he can store at least 3,000 units of food.
Xu Lai tried it himself. A quiver can be regarded as a unit of arrows, but if the arrows are taken out, only one can be placed in each space.
He has seven pairs of quivers here, plus the ones he doesn’t use, he can make up 10 pairs, which is equivalent to storing more than 300 arrows.
As for food, one grid is one unit. Even if Xu comes to bring a big bag and combines a lot of food into one big bag, the supply truck will still pack one unit of food into one grid.
But when taking it out, Xu Lai can still take it out directly in a big bag.
