Chapter 106: The Greenskin Threat at Red Eye Mountain
Mousse said he wanted to rest, but in fact, there was no way he could rest while sitting on the ground.
The dwarf race is really too noisy and very rowdy for the elves.
Mousse didn't want to listen to the conversations of the dwarves around him, but the dwarves had naturally loud voices and Mousse could hear everything even if they whispered.
All the local dwarves were saying one thing: Karak Kadrin was about to fall.
Because Red Eye Mountain was lost too early, the greenskins occupying there had already reproduced to a terrifying number through spore fission.
As for the greenskins, once their numbers increase, they will instinctively look for targets to attack.
Because Kislev is far away from the Red Eye Mountains and the soil is too cold, it is not conducive to the reproduction of orcs.
In addition, the Chaos Dwarves in the east are very fond of capturing Orcs as slaves.
Therefore, the green-skinned orcs in Red Eye Mountain only have one last way to advance, which is to go south using the existing transportation network.
The dwarf fortress that stands in the way of such a large waaagh army is Karak Kadrin where the two are now.
This means that this place will be captured by the orcs sooner or later; it is only a matter of time.
The dark elves once again obtained very useful information from the dwarves.
At the same time, the dark elves also hate the greenskins as a race the most.
All races can be captured as slaves, except greenskins.
Malekith had previously tried to breed greenskin slaves on his own in Naggaroth, but unfortunately it failed.
From then on, in the eyes of all dark elves, fighting against orcs was a losing business.
Firstly, there is nothing valuable on the orcs, except for two teeth that have a little value.
Secondly, if the orc camp was captured, the only spoils that could be seized would be some scrap metal and garbage.
Coupled with the greenskins' powerful combat capability and the fact that they have no civilians in their racial composition, attacking the greenskins or being attacked by the greenskins would be a very unfortunate and unprofitable business.
When the dark elf Mousse learned that the greenskins were about to attack Karak Kadrin, the first thing he thought of was to escape.
"Wendalo, we have to leave this place immediately."
"Ah? What's wrong?"
Windlo, who was focused on business and not as sharp as the elves, naturally did not hear the chatter of the nearby dwarves.
"Because what you hate most will break out here, war, the greenskins will set out from Red Eye Mountain and attack Karak Kadrin."
"Is there such a good thing?"
"what?"
Mousse was completely confused. Even though he had followed Windlow for so long, he still didn't fully understand this human's character.
We don't even know why and why he says and does things in many cases, but in addition to loving to keep people in suspense, this human will also explain the reasons for his various behaviors.
"Because my goods are not sold, once a siege occurs, there will be a shortage of resources, and my goods will be sold!"
Just like when the Nords were dealing with the invasion of the Norscans.
The imperial merchants who arrived at the port of Dist were extremely excited about the upcoming war. Only a siege would lead to a shortage of resources, and only when resources were scarce would they hoard them and sell them at high prices.
When he was in Nordland, Windlow mocked the merchants who bought and sold grain not because those people wanted to make money from every copper coin in the hands of the residents.
It’s because I’m not one of them and can’t earn that much income.
The opportunity to make money is right in front of us, why should we be afraid of war? It's not aimed at us.
Only then did Mousse understand the various economics knowledge that Windlow taught her during the intermission every night.
There was one sentence that Mousse had always been able to memorize, but it was only now that he understood what it meant.
“When the profit reaches 10%, some people are ready to take action; when the profit reaches 50%, some people dare to take risks; when the profit reaches 100%, they dare to trample on all human laws; and when the profit reaches 300%, they are not even afraid of going to the gallows.”
There is no difference between Windlow and other imperial merchants, except that he is a little braver and has less capital.
This man is very dangerous. Mousse's elf intuition tells her that Windlow is not a soft persimmon that can be easily controlled in the true sense of the word.
However, this act of making money from war did make the dark elf excited, and he licked his lips.
"Okay, I'd like to hear how you plan to make money from the war."
In that case, Windlow simply closed his stall.
There's no way around it, that's how it is when doing business with dwarves, they are a very stubborn race.
The first time you buy a bottle of beer in a store, you may only shop in this store for the rest of your life.
The local dwarves would not even directly trust foreign dwarves, let alone merchants like Windlow who came from the empire.
If you want dwarves to buy things from humans, no matter whether the quality is good or not, you must at least establish a good relationship with the dwarves first.
After running the stall for so long and not even selling a bottle of kvass, Windlow would of course expect to make a fortune from the war.
How to make money from a possible war is a technical science.
"Moose, we have to go outside to investigate and find out the situation of the greenskins."
Since he couldn't sell the goods by staying in the city, Windlow thought it was better to prioritize collecting intelligence.
After finding a dwarf warehouse, it only costs 1 silver coin to keep all the goods safe under the dwarf's supervision.
After the two left Karak Kadrin, they agreed to the unicorn's request to eat grass on its own.
Anyway, the unicorn's movement speed in mountainous terrain is not as fast as that of a human, so it is better to give it a break, which will also help improve its work efficiency later.
Just as Windlo and Mousse were standing at the gate of such a dwarf fortress, thinking about where to start the reconnaissance.
The team of dwarf rangers who had brought them back earlier had also completed their supply replenishment and were preparing to set out from the city again and return to the main force.
Relying on the connections he had made before, Windlow also shamelessly started a conversation with those dwarf rangers.
"Dear Dwarf Longbeard Ranger, in addition to being an Imperial merchant, I am also an Imperial pharmacist. I have always wanted to find precious herbs in the mountains."
"So I ask the dwarf ranger who is familiar with the mountain roads and can deal with the threat of greenskins to help me complete the task. This is your reward."
All you need to do is say a few nice words, offer enough reward, and use your human identity to get the dwarf's help.
After some praise and two gold coins, these dwarf rangers didn't mind taking the two humans with them to patrol the mountains.
Anyway, these two guys have enough stamina to keep up, and they don’t need to consume the dwarves’ supplies.
"Okay, let's go, don't fall behind."
