Chapter 282

Leon means (Part 2)

Since Leon transferred ownership of Iron Fortress to the Thirty-Seven Alliance, this fortress city with a history of hundreds of years has not only not attracted new life, but the situation has been deteriorating.

Sharing hardships and not wealth and honor is the best portrayal of the Thirty-Seven Alliance. Without Leon, the common opponent, the internal conflicts between them suddenly broke out, and they were intrigue and intrigue every day for their own interests.[]

Their battle inevitably affected the lower class of Ironforge. Mercenary adventurers employed by different forces often broke out in the streets and alleys, causing many innocent residents. Several or even dozens of bodies were transported out of the city every day.

This made the residents of the city fear and disgust, and people's hearts fluctuate.

But at this time, Thrall recruited workers to build the new city, and there were rumors that as long as you have made efforts in the construction of the new city, you can give priority to buying houses in New Thrall in the future.

So many people gave up their work in workshops and shops in the city, and some even moved away from the unsafe Iron Fort to the construction camp.

Although the work of building a city is hard and tiring, the salary is higher than before. What is more important is that there is an absolute guarantee of safety.

No adventurer dares to cause trouble in an area where the Thunder Beast Warriors' Patrol is equipped with a standard heavy crossbow that can easily shoot and kill an experienced old mercenary.

One passes to ten, ten passes to hundreds. Every day, many workers from the Iron Fort join the camp. They are not slaves. Except for those craftsmen with long-term contract constraints, they can choose their own jobs without permission.

When the thirty-seven alliances caught in internal strife found that the situation was not good, the workshops, shops and mines they owned were all in danger.

The development of the large mining area and the construction of the workshop in Xinsarling attracted the workers under the alliance like a magnet with excellent conditions. Some mine caves that originally had hundreds of people almost ran away in just a few weeks, leaving behind the mine owners who were crying and crying.

The most critical thing is that the safety of these mining areas has become a big problem.

You should know that these mining areas are basically within the scope of a dark place. The dark monsters and dark elves that ran out of the underground world were wiped out from time to time by the garrison troops, and the soldiers participating in the trials were regularly slaughtered, which posed little threat to the mining areas.

But the situation is completely different now. No one will protect these nobles and merchants' mines and dark monsters began to rage frequently, so there are many dead and injured miners.

The mine owners also tried to hire mercenary adventurers to protect the mine area and eliminate monsters, but this expense was not a small amount. Those cunning mercenary adventurers saw the opportunity and increased the price. After they were actually hired, they would never fight with the dark monsters.

In the past few months, mine owners have been suffering from the fact that the ore raw materials have been produced less and less, which has greatly affected the production of the workshop in the Tielubao.

At this time, the noble merchants suddenly realized that it was not a wonderful thing to obtain all control of the Iron Fort. In the past, they could enjoy the protection of the garrison army and could use their dominance if they lost some money.

Now that they are the masters of their own country, they know how happy their original days were.

Seeing that the losses of each family were increasing every day, the thirty-seven alliances finally gave up the fight and sent representatives to negotiate with Leon to ask the Thunder Beast Warriors to clear out the dark monsters and demand that people be stopped from their mine workshops.

Their request was flatly rejected by Leon. It is okay to clear out the monsters and protect the mines, and you can take out the money! The Thunder Beast Warrior is definitely not a paladin who only talks about reputation.

It is even more impossible to ask for a stop to recruit workers. These miners and craftsmen are not their voluntary choices for Leon to dig, but also their sacred rights granted to the people of the orcs by the kingdom. If you have the ability, you can offer higher conditions to retain people.

Leon's toughness made the noble merchants helpless. Because Leon had absolute truth and righteousness, he gave up the Iron Fortress. Can he blame him if he was not able to manage his own business?

When the thirty-seven alliances were at a loss, the Xinsalling Workshop created the first batch of weapons and equipment, which gave them the heaviest blow.

When the industry on which the Iron Fortress relies on faces the impact of more advanced and stronger opponents, the foundations of these noble merchants were mercilessly pried.

It was at this time that the noble merchants understood why Leon gave up control of the Iron Fort so happily. He simply disdained that the small Iron Fort had another great cause.

Of course, the aristocratic merchants of the thirty-seven alliances have another choice now. After so many years of operation, each of them has gained a lot of money and can stop and enjoy the rest of their lives.

But they cannot do this because there is a force behind everyone, and they are just the spokespersons of these forces and cannot be given up just by wanting to give up.

Poor management, heavy losses...these charges are enough to turn into nooses around their necks.

The noble merchants had thought of asking for help from the forces behind them, but if they couldn't kill Leon, what was wrong, and what excuses could they use to put pressure on him, the real lord?

After several efforts but failed, the noble merchants had to come to Leon again.

But this time, they finally lowered their high heads.

"Some people, if you smile at him, they will think you are weak and can be bullied. They will have to whip a few times before they will bow their heads to the ears."

Leon smiled faintly and threw the scroll in his hand onto the desk.

This scroll is a gift list presented by the thirty-seven alliances, one million gold coins, ten beautiful virgin women and a mine, which is also a very sincere meeting gift.

Colina, sitting on the other side of the desk, chuckled and looked at Leon's pretty eyes.

She was born in the blood of the fox clan and thought she was very talented in business operations, but she realized that she had a lot to learn.

Not to mention the means of Leon's swinging thirty-seven alliances, his courage and means to build a new city of Salling, open a mine, and build a large workshop surprised Corinna.

What made Corinna even more admired was the various systems formulated by Leon for mines and workshops. While allowing the hired workers to earn income, he ensured their safety, enhanced their enthusiasm for work, and enhanced their loyalty to the lord. All kinds of methods are something that Colinna felt new without hearing.

"They are here now, what should we do?" Corinna asked.

"You can negotiate with them for the next thing..." Leon said lightly: "We can form an alliance chamber of commerce and let them invest in their own mines, workshops and shops. In the future, all the workshops will be moved to the new city, and we will allocate manpower and work."

In Leon's vision, these 37 noble merchants were also useful. They integrated the resources of the entire territory and based on the workshop of New Saar City, they were responsible for the processing and production of some supporting goods, and used their connections and relationships to expand sales, so that these 37 became affiliated with the Saar Territory.

Of course, these 37 companies will not really suffer any losses. They just want to compete for the cake. If one piece of cake is more, the other person will lose one piece. However, Leon wants to make the cake bigger and the big ones are indispensable for others.

However, whether the other party can understand this and willingly act as a vassal depends on their awareness. Leon has no intention of entangling these guys. What he needs to do now is to make the new Thrall become stronger quickly in the shortest time.

Leon's attention turned to the sofa on the other side after handing over the negotiations to Corinna.

The kingdom pearl, the swan priestess of the Holy Mountain Temple, Sister Xiling, was sitting there with an unhappy look on her face.

Xiling has been in the trial for more than two months since she came to Thrall to take the trial. During this period, she has basically stayed in the city of Thrall surrounded by mountains. Leon drew several of her Templar Knights to train the Thunder Beast War Chapter and let her fight small monsters on the edge of the mountain forest and swamp.

With the protection of the Templar Knights, the trial turned into hunting. Although Xiling thought it was fresh and interesting at the beginning, it became boring after a long time.

In addition, Leon and Corinna were both busy in New Saar City and had no time to pay attention to her, which made the genius priest very dissatisfied. Finally, he couldn't help but run over and questioned Leon's army.

"Sister Xiling, I'm so sorry, but I will arrange a real trial for you right away..." Leon said with a smile.

He didn't dare to offend the other party. He had to know that the five million gold coins loan from the temple was taken down by this little sister.

In addition, the Temple of Tormond also sent a group of priest apprentices to support the Saar City Temple, several of which were stationed by Leon to the mining area. If Xiling had not come forward, the Temple would not have given such face.

And Leon has indeed ignored her existence in the past two months.

"Don't lie to me, I have made no progress in the past two months!" A faint lightning flashed in the eyes of the swan priestess: "I don't know how to explain to the tutor after I go back."

"After Corinna and the thirty-seven alliances reach an agreement, I will lead the Thunder Beast Warrior to clear out the dark land. This time I prepare to go deep into the underground world. I believe it will be the best trial experience for you." Leon said confidently.

Lex, the Templar Knight standing aside, frowned and said in a deep voice: "Baron Leon, is this too risky?"

Leon smiled and said, "Old Lex, there may be danger, but if there is no danger, Miss Xiling's trial is meaningless."

The underground world is not a good place to go if you want to. Countless underground monsters and dark elves will not be polite to any intruders, and no one can guarantee whether they will get lost or encounter any terrible monsters.

Xiling's eyes lit up: "Okay! This matter is settled!"
