Lord Highlander

  Chapter 757 746. Letter from Bena City

  The fighting during the day has quieted the monsters in the Dodan Canyon, and they are in the garrison camp.

Some people from the small town gathered around the camp. They were not only watching the infantry carrying the corpses of the monsters, but also some town residents offered to help push the rolling stones to the side of the hanging tower. After all, these rolling stones still needed to be transported to a height of 40 meters. On the city wall, a simple hanging tower with a wooden structure is built on one side of the city wall.

  The merchants in the small town also gathered around the barracks, looking at the carloads of monster corpses being transported into the barracks, and kept shouting slogans such as 'buy leather, teeth, and magic cores at high prices'.

  They wanted to stop the carriage and **** a few monster corpses from it.

  The infantry were unmoved by this. Once a merchant tried to approach, they would be warned by the cavalry next to them.

  The corpses of monsters were transported into the barracks, skinned and grilled, but not even the bones were shipped out. Now a large number of monsters are surrounded by the north wall, and no mercenary group can go out of the city to hunt under such circumstances.

   The mercenaries want to hunt monsters, so they can only temporarily register as defense personnel in Dodan Town at the barracks.

   Then they can take turns to climb to the top of the city wall. The number of assistant defense personnel who can climb the city wall every day is limited to 20, and they are not allowed to leave Dodan Town at will during the beast tide, otherwise they will be deprived of their qualifications as volunteers.

  On the city wall, without excellent archery skills, it is impossible to hunt monsters. The mercenaries can only carry a few monsters from the top of the city every day.

  Such a quantity simply cannot satisfy the merchants in Dodan Town.

  So some merchants approached Selena, preparing to explain the situation to her, and hoped that she could open a trade channel from the military camp to allow merchants in the town to participate.

  There are so many Warcraft materials, everyone wants to get a share.

Selena and Suldak also talked a lot about this, and Suldak felt that these businessmen were speculators, they did not help the development of the town, and once the beast tide passed in the future, they did not know what would happen. Wherever they go, this kind of speculative businessman really has nothing to cooperate with.

  Selina hopes to establish some contact with these merchants, mainly about the price of these monster materials. Now that the seller has the right to speak, the price of monster materials should naturally be determined by the military camp.

  When the merchants saw that the military camp was finally willing to take out some of the Warcraft materials to trade with the local merchants, they all came together at once.

  Surdak knew that he couldn't finish peeling so many leathers, so he decided to take out some monsters and sell them whole.

  Nowadays, this kind of Moonblade Fire Wolf, which has only one level, has very limited valuables, so the price of a Moonblade Fire Wolf is also very transparent.

  After deducting the transaction tax that needs to be paid, the profit left to these merchants by Suldak is only 15%. If these fire wolf leathers are transported to Wilkes City, they can earn more.

  Although the profit has been thinned a lot, it is better than nothing.

  …

   After each battle, Suldak would become extremely busy.

  A large number of wounded needed to be treated by Suldak himself, and he had to peel as many skins as possible before the magic power on the monsters dissipated. Only at this time would it be possible to harvest life magic patterns.

  Wounded soldiers were withdrawn from the battlefield, and the rescue team organized by the town hall performed simple treatment on the wounds.

   When Suldak returns from the battlefield, he only needs to use the holy light technique to heal the wound, so the treatment process is relatively simplified, saving Suldak a lot of precious time.

  Only some unlucky seriously wounded ones still need Suldak to start the sacrificial ceremony, and use the sacrifices to exchange the blessings of the gods of the "Divine Blessed Body" to help them survive the most dangerous period of time.

  Suldak has already converted the guest room on the first floor of the small building where he lives into his temporary consultation room.

  The kitchen next door is where he skins the monsters, and the two rooms are only separated by a wall.

  Suldak dragged his tired body and asked his cavalry to carry out a seriously wounded number, then stood at the door of the small building and shouted listlessly: "Next!"

   "That...Master Commander, the one just now is the last one." The cavalry guard guarding the entrance of the small building whispered to Suldak.

   "Is it gone? Then go and have a good rest!" Suldak looked up at the night sky, and before he knew it was midnight, he ordered the cavalry guards around him.

  The night sky is full of stars.

  In Dodan Town, the starry sky that can be seen is like a long river flowing slowly from south to north.

   Only when you walk out of Dodan Town and run to the large grassland with a wide view can you see the complete starry sky.

  The wooden dormitory of the military camp was still lit. A group of soldiers gathered at the entrance of the cafeteria, looking at the merit exchange list, and counting the gains of the day.

   The achievement exchange list at the entrance of the cafeteria has mobilized the enthusiasm of many soldiers. Although the daily battles are very dangerous, many soldiers hope to fight on the front line.

  The soldiers in the barracks were full of fighting spirit, and Suldak breathed a sigh of relief.

However, when Suldak looked in the direction of the stables, he saw more than 20 aboriginal herdsmen dealing with a batch of wounded war horses, and the dead war horses were also placed outside the empty field. There is simply no shortage of meat, so these steeds will be buried with dignity.

   During the daytime battle, at least 200 horses were lost. This was Suldak's biggest loss.

There is no way, using Gu Bolai horse as the mount of the heavy cavalry is a bit reluctant in itself. Countless armored horses collided with monsters on the battlefield, so that the horses were also severely injured. This is what makes Suldak feel the most headache place.

  …

   Quartermaster Handel brought in the third batch of supplies.

   In addition, two letters from Bena City were also sent.

   In order to express his gratitude, Suldak took the time to meet with him, and took him to have breakfast together in the cafeteria of the military camp.

  Breakfast is toasted oatmeal and broth, with onion and tomato broth, and it really tastes better.

  But with these vegetable ingredients alone, it is still impossible to hide the sour taste of these fire wolf meat.

   While eating, Suldak asked Handel about the adventure group.

  The adventure group in the town of Dodan disappeared without a trace, as if they had disappeared out of thin air.

  He is a little strange, the beast tide is approaching, what else can these adventure groups do after leaving the border town?

"I heard that after the beast tide comes, there will always be some monsters crossing the Thorn Mountains and entering the occupied area of ​​the Grimm Empire. Other places in the occupied area of ​​the Bailin Plane will also be attacked by monsters. These adventure groups are scattered to various small towns in the occupied area. , taking the opportunity to hunt those lonely monsters, not only is it safer, but sometimes you can get rewards from the town or the nobles."

   Quartermaster Handel said to Suldak.

   "I heard that the situation in Nantu Town and Prentos Town is much more serious than yours, so the next supplies will be given priority to those two towns."

  Suldak asked curiously: "Did something happen?"

   Quartermaster Handel said in a low voice: "I heard that a group of monsters successfully climbed over the city wall and rushed into the town. It seems that many people died..."

   "Ah! How could this happen?" Surdak said in surprise.

  After all... the beast tide hasn't come yet!

  …

  This time, the Quartermaster Handel took advantage of the convenience of transporting armaments and materials, and delivered the items sent by Hathaway and Beatrice to Suldak as soon as possible.

  Suldak is quite sympathetic to this.

  He asked Handel the quartermaster to choose randomly from the corpses of the Moonblade Fire Wolf, and take whichever one he liked, and then gave it to him as a gift symbolizing friendship.

   This is not a bribe, this is friendship.

  The first letter was written by Beatrice herself.

  —

  ‘Honey, I really want to stand in front of you right now…and kiss you.

  Hathaway and I work in the Foreign Affairs Bureau. Recently, due to the unstable situation, prices in Bena City have risen a lot.

   Please don't think of me as a philistine woman, but those leathers you sent have really made a big difference in our family.

  The store has almost become an important economic pillar of the Gophero family, thank you for continuously providing these leather goods.

  The Gophero family finally ushered in a turning point. At least in the bone-chilling house, occasional laughter could be heard.

  In the morning, my father specially sent someone to tell me to go home and see him when I have time... You must not know how long I have been waiting for this sentence!

  I can't wait to cross the portal and run to the Bailin plane...see you!

  But now the Bailin Plane Portal Gate is under military control, and the permission date of our passport is two months later.

  Before I arrive at the Bailin plane to meet you, please take good care of yourself.

   Love you Beatrice Gophero. '

  —

   Hathaway's letter reads:

  —

  ‘Hi, how are you doing in Bailin?

  I heard that there may be a wave of beasts over there, and you will hunt monsters every day.

is that so?

   Isn't Bai Lin's life very fulfilling and busy?

Now, the situation in Bena Province is not very good. Tarapagan has become a battlefield. It has involved all the nobles and lords in Bena Province. The army is overwhelming, and many civilians in Tarapagan have hid in Bena In the city, there are still some civilians who desperately want to leave here.

  Beatrice and I are in the Foreign Affairs Bureau, where there are a lot of letterheads that need to be processed every day, and those letterheads that apply for immigration are also processed.

  The lords of other provinces all want to take a share of Bena province.

  I also heard that Duke Newman also plans to evacuate from the Warsaw plane recently. I heard that the main force of the Bena Legion is coming home soon.

Beatrice and I joined the temporary planning team, and recently we have to discuss with the Ryan family a series of issues arising after the withdrawal, including the ownership of Handanal County and how to transport the obtained resources to the For Everson City, only the resource conversion of Handanal County is left. It is estimated that the Duke may lose a little money in this expedition.

   After he came back, he saw that some land in the north of the tower was almost turned into scorched earth, and his mood must be even worse.

   My vacation with Beatrice has been postponed for two months and I am looking forward to that day.

   Then I left my work here and went to see Bai Lin!

   Hathaway Luther wrote on April 17, 2587’
