The correct way to open the sprite

How vulgar it is to use money. Besides, if you really have that thing, you probably won’t be able to spend the money on Cattail City. However, Cattail City has some good things that humans can’t refuse, so it’s just a change.

It was indeed as Feng Yu thought. In less than two months, the Chamber of Commerce, which had never had the opportunity to obtain special products from Cattail City such as telegraph machines, brought five harpies to the curious Cattail City. Still alive.

For this reason, Cattail City paid a large number of telegraph machines as a price, which made the chamber of commerce that came to trade very satisfied, and used those telegraph machines to start a telegraph business.

In fact, this is also a signal sent by Cattail City to organizations such as the Human Chamber of Commerce and the Great Mercenary Group, that is, in addition to the official government, Cattail City is also willing to do business with human civil organizations.

On the one hand, this is to enhance the soft power of some humans so that they can better resist plane wars. After all, plane wars have already appeared in the human world.

The second is to use these non-governmental organizations to gain more resources from mankind while the two great empires of mankind have no time to look around.

The harpy is just an introduction. Cattail City will not want any more harpies because Cattail City is not prepared to tame these wild and untamable guys.

However, the more resources Cattail City has, the merrier, and everyone will be welcome.

To this end, Cattail City also rushed to make a batch of crossbows, and moved a place with the two human empires on the dividing line between the two countries in the middle of their docks. A new one was built under the management of Cattail City and accepted the supervision of the two human empires. A dock specially used for trade with human private chambers of commerce.

Although the two rulers of mankind are not very willing to let Cattail City search for resources from them, they also need special commodities from Cattail City, so they can only admit it with pinched noses.

However, Cattail City did not go too far and assured the two empires that it would not sell large quantities of weapons and armor to the civil forces of the two countries.

Cromwell is very happy that Cattail City has taken the initiative to expand its trade channels and scale with humans and improve its relationship with humans. However, the old man is now active near the Meteor Forest to defend against the high-level powerhouses among the harpies.

Even with Cromwell in charge, the situation in the five cities of the Brocade Empire in the Meteor Mountains was not very good.

Cromwell doesn't know how to clone himself, but the number of harpies is so overwhelming that it's a bit hopeless.

Although the terrain and trees of the Meteorite Mountains have some hindrances to the harpies, it is precisely because of this terrain and the dense and tall woods that it is difficult to detect the harpies flying above the trees.

Although many adventurers have gathered, and there are even adventurers heading towards the Meteorite Mountains, the overall situation is getting worse day by day.

Many reduced adventurer teams have begun to think about evacuating, but the Brocade Empire has finally gathered them together, so how can they let them leave easily.

Not only will the situation of the Brocade Empire be in vain if these adventurers leave, but the adventurers will also spread the cruelty of the harpy to the interior of the Brocade Empire, which is something that the Brocade Emperor cannot allow.

Therefore, under the coercion of the regular army, these adventurers who came to the Meteor Mountains were directly recruited to serve as the city's defense force, without giving them a chance to move freely.

The adventurers found it difficult to climb down the mountain, so they had no choice but to fight for their lives against the harpy on the city wall.

At this time, the situation in the dwarf new city at the western foot of the Snowtop Mountains was not very good. Although there were no casualties due to the attack of the harpies due to weapons, the constant harassment of the harpies made the city The defense forces were overwhelmed.

Because the new dwarf city was built in the middle of the mountains, there were not so many available resources, and there were no solid bunkers on top like the buildings in Cattail City. The dwarf warriors had to be extremely careful.

After being tense like this for a period of time, the dwarf warriors were all very tired.

For this reason, Gnome New City had to move its tribesmen to Cattail City and Dawn City for the second time to reduce the scope of defense.

It is the westernmost of the five human new cities in the Meteor Mountains. Because there are not many resources here, there is not much land that can be developed, and there are not many nobles willing to invest in this city, so this city is also the smallest in size.

Moreover, the roads here are relatively far and more difficult to walk. Not many adventurers come here. Only a few adventurers who have not done well in other cities are willing to come here.

There are not many regular warriors, and there are not many adventurers that can be recruited, making it extremely difficult to defend this settlement that is not yet a city.

The city lord here is a nobleman whose family is in decline. He only obtained the position of city lord because of the help of the prince he took refuge with.

Originally, he was planning to make a fortune from the wave of land reclamation, revitalize his family and repay the prince who helped him, but he didn't expect that before the city was built and various resources were not developed, he would be chased away by the harpies that came in droves. .

The sharp fangs of the harpy caused many adventurers who made a living near the city, as well as the pioneers who followed the city lord, to suffer a lot. Deaths and injuries occurred every day.

"This is not the way to go. Sooner or later, these monsters will swarm us when we are exhausted and tear us apart and turn us into food."

In the city lord's wooden home, one of the few little nobles who came with the city lord to make a fortune expressed everyone's worries.

The city lord sighed and said: "Well, we all understand the laws of the empire, and our great emperor obviously regards us as the first line of defense against these monsters.

If we abandon the city and escape, the Empire will not let us go. "

Another noble said: "Doesn't that mean that we will all die sooner or later, but that is better than dying at the mouths of these monsters, right?"

What the little noble didn't say was that the city lord couldn't escape, but they nobles were not city lords.

The cost of choosing this place as the residence of my family this time is not small. If I run away, I will lose all my money, but it is better than dying here.

Several minor nobles exchanged glances in private, but no one spoke.

The city lord was shocked when he looked at the atmosphere at the scene. He had already guessed what these little nobles were thinking.

However, these nobles came here for speculation, and he could not prevent them from escaping. After all, the empire stipulated that he could recruit adventurers, but these nobles were not within the scope of the regulations.

Sure enough, coming out of the city lord's simple wooden house that was not yet the city lord's palace, a few minor nobles turned a few corners and got together again.

Harpies bully the weak and fear the strong. It will be very dangerous for them to escape alone with their families, so it is the best choice to unite the forces that can be united and run away together.
