After removing the excess items on the scale and throwing away some extra weights, Windlow was tough for a while and together with Mousse, he carried a large bag of caravan supplies and put them on the scale.

"1.5 tons. And you said it, two gold coins per ton, a total of 3 gold coins."

The scale showed 1.5 tons, but Mousse, who had exerted great effort, knew that this thing was definitely not that light. His veins were popping out just now. With the help of the lifting equipment, the weight must be around two tons.

Wendlow is simply a walking quality scale.

After being hit by such a preemptive attack, the Chaos Dwarf was speechless. He was the one who used the Yin-Yang Scale first, so now he had no chance to refute.

When they discovered that such an imperial army was approaching, they should have prepared the scales in advance. Now the other side is suppressing them completely, and any small mistake will become a shackle around their necks.

"Yes, yes, you are right."

The Chaos Dwarf had no choice but to put on an apologetic smile, meaning that he accepted the loss and only hoped that this human army could leave here quickly.

But the ferocity in those eyes could not be hidden, as the dwarves were notoriously vindictive.

The fact that the Chaos Dwarves do not have a Book of Hatred does not mean that they have no hatred. Instead, they keep all the hatred in their hearts and take revenge as quickly as possible.

This is not a particularly good thing. If you push someone too far, both sides will inevitably suffer.

The most important characteristic of a businessman is bargaining to make the price acceptable to both parties.

If one party forces a sale alone, problems will inevitably arise, and it is impossible for the empire to pass through here only once.

Anything Windlow does here will be remembered by the Chaos Dwarves, and then retaliated against other Imperial caravans passing through here.

"Sorry, sorry, I didn't notice the scale was broken."

With a false apology, Windlow pointed at the hobgoblin, who immediately brought a new scale and started measuring again.

"1.8 tons, 3 gold coins and 60 silver coins."

With the previous lesson in mind, he also gave an honest quote, and Windlow silently calculated the price in his mind.

The large army needs 100 pieces of goods, totaling 180 tons, and the total price is 360 gold coins, which is in line with the purchasing targets that Gert gave himself.

It can be said that he was able to complete the task, so he sighed in relief. The business was done, and now he had to collect the kickbacks.

"180 tons, 350 gold coins."

He stated his price without any hesitation, and the Chaos Dwarf also had to count the price in his mind.

On average, the price of one ton of supplies becomes 1 gold coin and 94 silver coins. The six silver coins must be the kickback that this human wants to take.

If you calculate carefully, the cost of one ton of supplies is only 1 gold coin and 50 silver coins. It is already very good that I can still make money under such strong military pressure.

"Okay, it's settled. Write two gold coins per ton on the invoice. I'll go get the goods."

Like dwarves, Chaos Dwarves are violent and crazy, but they still adhere to the principle of keeping their word.

Wendlow also nodded and said he would go get the money now.

Seeing that Windlow and Mousse returned unharmed, Gert breathed a sigh of relief. His plan of buying safety with money was successful.

He allocated 360 gold coins without hesitation and sent out a team of imperial provincial troops who had removed their weapons and protective gear.

In addition to helping Windlow transport goods, this provincial army also has another purpose of investigating the internal layout of the city.

As a lord, Gelt certainly hopes for peace, but he also knows very well that in such an era, peace itself is a luxury.

We must always be prepared for battle, and we must have a clear understanding of the military intelligence of the Chaos Dwarves, so as to create advantages for the Empire when war is forced.

The deal was done. The money was exchanged for the goods. Finally, Windlow and the Chaos Dwarf shook hands to express their happy cooperation.

"Wait, I have some business to do with you as a solo businessman."

Now that you are here, in addition to taking advantage of kickbacks, you also have to use the resources provided by the platform.

Since Chaos Dwarves rarely trade with other normal races, their products rarely find their way to the market.

Windlow directly used the 10 gold coins from the kickback, plus his own reserve funds, to purchase a lot of Chaos Dwarf equipment.

These high-quality equipment coming off the assembly line may be able to be sold at a high price later.

At the same time, it also provided the Empire with additional time, allowing the Imperial soldiers disguised as freight workers to obtain specific intelligence clues inside the city.

The Chaos Dwarves made money and also gained security.

The Empire completed the supply.

Many times, all it takes is an excellent diplomatic businessman to achieve victory without fighting and have the best of both worlds.

After the supply was completed, the imperial army regained its morale and reinforcements, and continued to move forward along the established route. After four weeks, they finally saw the rolling Mountains of Sorrow, and everyone successfully walked out of the dark land.

Apart from unexpected casualties and illnesses caused by acclimatization, the empire's combat effectiveness was almost 100% preserved.

You don't have to be afraid of crossing mountainous areas anymore. The worst that can happen is you'll run into some greenskins and goblins, which are pretty easy to deal with.

A gap has appeared ahead, and it is estimated that this is where we enter the Mountains of Sorrow.

But the name marked on the map made Gelt a little hesitant.

The area ahead is called the Demon Pile. The imperial soldiers may not have much understanding of what demons are.

But Gelt, as a wizard who uses magic, of course he knows the source of his magical energy, and he also knows the horror and cruelty of demons.

It is even more clear that the imperial troops are most afraid of enemies like demons and vampires, which bring fear and terror.

But from a distance, the mountains are extremely quiet, with only a huge wooden stake standing there, hung with all kinds of armor.

There are full body plate armor of Khorne demons, breastplates of Slaanesh demons, books of Tzeentch demons, and loincloths of Nurgle demons.

It was like a demon cemetery. If the demon's body did not turn into ashes after death, then the huge wooden stakes would definitely be covered in blood.

It turns out that the devil's stake means that this wooden stake is full of devils. Who on earth could repel the devils so easily and capture them, and even hang them up as trophies?

At the pass, a cloud of smoke slowly rose, and a huge barbecue grill was built by a giant humanoid creature.

The creature, which looked very similar to humans but was several times taller and heavier than humans, seemed to have smelled something in the air.

He carried a club that was more than a meter tall on his shoulder and cast a greedy look at the imperial army with interest.
