Celestial Mage

Chapter 345 The Southerners Are Too Rich (13)

The territory of Crescent Town is just that small, only 35 kilometers long and wide.

Less than 20 minutes after getting the military information, Rosen flew the newly built plane and landed in the sky above the New Moon Fortress.

Because the construction cost was greatly reduced, and the land was very barren, the construction site of the New Moon Fortress was very large, with a length and width of more than one kilometer.

Also because Rosen became an independent Golden Baron, the upper limit of guards of 1000 people did not exist.

In fact, as long as Lawson has enough money, he can raise as many as he wants.

He is not short of money and security now.

Therefore, 2000 more people were recruited to reach the scale of 3000 people to form a new type of rifle army to deal with the threat of ice dwarves.

In the center of the training square.

As soon as he landed and left the cabin, Legion Commander Hamia immediately waved to a group of elite soldiers around him.

"Surround the magic weapon and guard it at all times. Except for the lord, no one is allowed to approach within 50 meters."

Rosen went straight to the command barracks, and the chiefs and deputy army chiefs headed by Hamia and Watson followed behind him step by step.

Anglo was not there.

Because he is a southerner and has good water skills.

Rosen sent him to the Flying Fish Islands ahead of schedule with 500 elite swimmers and the best ones.

The third apprentice, Anvinia, and mage Lydia also went with them to avoid accidents on the way.

After all, what is to be received is the powerful new territory of the people, and it is definitely not enough to rely on simple canonization documents.

On the way, Rosen asked, "How many ice dwarves are here?"

Hamia had already inquired clearly: "A total of 10 people came, a mixed army of warriors and civilians, of which there were only 1 official warriors."

Rosen's eyebrows twitched slightly when he heard this: "One hundred thousand~ This is where everyone who can fight has come."

There are only 130 million ice dwarves in the Frost Lands, and one hundred thousand at once, which means that all the ice dwarves with a little strength have arrived.

It also shows that the lack of food is really lacking to a certain extent. If they fail to grab a wave, there may be a tragedy of cannibalism in the clan.

No, it must have appeared.

Hamia continued to introduce: "We just captured a Beastmaster prisoner from the tunnel, and asked for some news."

"He said that the leader this time is a great warrior named Asak, who brought at least 400 Beastmaster wizards under his command, and told us to surrender quickly."

At this time, a group of people had arrived at the command barracks.

Naturally, Rosen sat at the main seat, while the head of the legion and the deputy head of the legion sat on both sides of him. Clerks, clerks and other civil servants were on Hou Li's side, ready to serve the lord at any time.

"Bring up the Beastmaster captive, I will ask myself."

"Yes, lord."

Soon, an unlucky guy was escorted up by two elite mid-level warriors wearing steel inlaid thick leather armor and carrying repeating rifles.

Hamia introduced: "This is the giant rat beast king, who specializes in digging holes. His giant rat, which is bigger than a calf, has been killed by us."

Rosen carefully looked at the ice dwarf kneeling below, and saw that he was only wearing a pair of pants that covered his knees, but he was not wearing any clothes or shoes. Much thinner.

But although thin, the backbone is still there.

Although he was forced to kneel on the ground, his upper body was straight. When he saw Rosen, his eyes showed deep hatred.

Rosen was very curious: "It is obvious that you invaded my territory, why do you hate me? Shouldn't I hate you?"

The Giant Rat Beastmaster yelled in jerky lingua franca: "Because you are despicable!"

"Where's the meanness?"

"Because you don't dare to stand upright with our warriors, but hide behind high walls! Not to mention digging high walls, even the ground has been polluted by your evil spells!"

He dug a hole all the way, desperately digging all the way to a depth of 30 meters underground, but he was still solidified by the petrification technique, which made people feel deeply desperate.

Rosen knew this because he ordered it to be done.

With the god iron core, the mana depreciated greatly, so Hal was asked to bring the construction mage and the god iron core, and tried to petrify the entire mountain and the 50-meter-deep base.

Seeing the appearance of the ice dwarf now, everyone laughed.

Several legion leaders looked at the giant mouse beast king of the ice dwarves with a look of looking at a clown.

Hamia mocked: "You can do the same, and no one stops you from doing it?"

The ice dwarf gritted his teeth and said nothing, but he couldn't hide the despair in his eyes.

I thought that if we mobilized an army of [-] to go south, we would be able to grab a large amount of food and go back.

To this end, they spent several months preparing everything, putting in everything, and rushed southward, crossing the dangerous snow-falling mountains with untold hardships.

Unexpectedly, at this last moment, they will encounter a precipitous city wall that is higher than the tallest cliff in the world!

It's like feces and urine on the opening, and the asshole was driven in by an iron stake, not to mention how uncomfortable it is.

Seeing such a giant rat and beast king, Rosen knew that the army of ice dwarves was incapable of breaking through the precipitous city wall, and if they couldn't break through, there would be no threat to New Moon Town.

After thinking about it, Rosen made his decision.

"Our Crescent Town is a peace-loving town, and we are never afraid of fighting, but fighting is the last way we will choose."

"I want to talk to your leader Asak, so I will let you go back and report."

"If he doesn't want to communicate, you can tell Asak that I am the mage who threw giant beasts on the Moonlight battlefield, and I was also a mage who once fought against evil gods with the white wolf beast king Trunks in the mine."

"If he wants to fight, I will fight to the end! But if he wants to solve the problem in other ways, I also welcome it."

After saying this, a look of surprise appeared on the face of the giant rat beast king: "Ah, it turned out to be you!"

"you know me?"

"I heard about you"

The hatred on the face of the Giant Rat Beastmaster faded a lot: "You are a strong man worthy of respect, I will tell the leader the exact words."

Rosen waved his hand: "Go, go up to the cliff wall."

Soon, a group of people came to the top of the cliff wall under the escort of about 300 elite soldiers with submachine guns.

This precipitous city wall is really high, not to mention standing on the top of the mountain. It is still 80 meters high and 50 meters wide. The foundation is deeply embedded in the mountain. Just looking at it makes people feel desperate.

Not to mention mortals, the Ice Emperor was speechless when he saw it.

Standing on such a high place, take out the binoculars and observe the valley in the distance, and you can see that there are densely packed ice dwarf warriors stationed in the valley about 3 miles away.

After a little counting, I found that the number may be less than one hundred thousand, but it is not far behind.

Rosen fixed a long-lasting dandelion on the Giant Rat Beastmaster: "Jump, you will be able to float back to the barracks in 10 minutes."

The Giant Rat Beast King climbed onto the battlements, jumped, and floated towards the valley with a whimper.

On the city wall, Rosen glanced at the [-] large petrochemical steel cannons around him. After a little estimation, he knew that when the cannon was fired on the top of the mountain, the rune shells with high-level power could easily fall on the ice dwarf camp, which was enough to attack the ice dwarf camp. It does amazing damage.

He said: "If the negotiation fails later, we will fire a few shots near the camp to let these dwarf miners see how powerful we are."

If you can't be scared anymore, fly a plane and use machine guns to plow the opponent's camp.

"Yes, lord."

With a wave of Hamill's hand, the artillerymen began to adjust the muzzle.

After waiting for more than half an hour, a group of ice dwarves rushed to the valley.

There were about 30 ice dwarves in this group, all wearing clothes and pants, but they were all barefoot and had no hats, let alone capes.

This group of people is also taller, and they all have mounts, either giant bears or white wolves.

The one at the front rode a group of weird big horses with long horns and wore exquisite iron armor. He should be the general of the ice dwarves.

Soon, the group of ice dwarves ran wildly all the way, and finally stopped in an open space 200 meters away.

An ice dwarf riding on a great white wolf ran forward, stopped more than a hundred meters away, and shouted at the city wall.

"Master Rosen~ How did you become a lord?"

It was Trunks, the White Wolf Beastmaster who once fought side by side.

Rosen used the voice of the group's soul, and laughed loudly: "Our great lord saw my talent and thought I could be a lord, so I became a lord~"

After finishing speaking, he added a sentence: "And it is the lord of the gods, and there is a god-given stone in the territory."

Indeed, Trunks saw the tall beam of light in the distance, and his heart was shocked, and he shouted again: "You built this wall?"

"To be precise, it was built by a group of like-minded human mages. How about it, isn't it tall?"

"It is indeed terrifyingly tall."

Trunks sighed, and turned back to the tall dwarf in the fur coat.

"Boss, he is the killer of evil gods, the butcher of giant beasts, and the genius mage Rosen of the human race. He is a very difficult character."

The tall dwarf is called Asak, a great warrior, and the temporary supreme commander of the ice dwarf army this time.

Why is it temporary?
Because he was elected by various tribes, after the battle, his identity will be gone, somewhat similar to the Secretary-General of the United Nations.

He nodded to show his understanding, he drove his horse forward, and shouted at Rosen in jerky common language.

"Lord of the Southerners, we didn't intend to rob you this time, it's because we have suffered a disaster and have nothing to eat!"

"As long as you can give us a batch of food, we will go back immediately!"

Rosen responded immediately: "Then if I don't give it!"

Asak raised his finger and pointed to the ice dwarf camp behind him: "The city wall you built is indeed thick, but our [-] troops press up and attack with all our strength, and we can always break through!"

"Once you break through this high wall, can you stop us?"

Rosen laughed: "Don't panic, first take a look at the good things I prepared for you!"

As he said that, he waved his hand to the artillerymen next to him: "Fire five consecutive shots near the camp, with an interval of 10 meters between each shot, using high-level pyro-explosive shells."

"Yes, lord!"

After the order was passed, the artillerymen immediately borrowed the sights, quickly adjusted the muzzle, and then inserted high-level pyrotechnical shells.

"fire!"

The commander of the artillery corps roared loudly.

'Pumba pom pom pom~~'

Five dull shocks appeared one after another, and a black shadow with a diameter of ten centimeters was vaguely seen flying out of the muzzle and flying towards the distant ice dwarf camp at high speed.

About three seconds later, five huge flames with a diameter of more than ten meters rose instantly from the ridge near the camp.

After five or six seconds, there was an earth-shattering loud noise, and even the ground trembled faintly.

It is the five high-level fire spells that burst into flames!
The ice dwarves under the city wall didn't know what happened at first, but when they saw flames bursting out from the camp behind, their gray-blue faces suddenly lost their blueness and turned gray.

Rosen laughed loudly and said, "I have prepared tens of thousands of these. Not only can it hit 10 miles away, but it can also hit anywhere. It's useless even if you hide behind the mountain!"

In fact, 50 pieces were prepared, because this thing is extremely expensive, and it is very difficult to manufacture, and the cost of one piece is as high as 1000 crowns.

But when the two armies confront each other, attacking the heart is the most important thing.

Asak yelled unwillingly: "Can you still break through the mountain?"

Rosen waved to the commander of the Artillery Corps.

Ten seconds later, there was a 'bang', and the shell drew a parabola in the sky, crossed the ridge, and exploded behind the mountain.

"See, my good thing can still turn!"

The blue on Asak's face turned completely earthy.

He took a deep breath, and his tone softened a lot.

"Baron, we really need food. No matter what, we would rather die in battle than starve to death without food!"

Rosen spoke his mind.

"I can give you food, as much as you want."

"But we must exchange for ores~ black iron, mithril, thorium, resonance crystals, or various specialties from the Frost Lands, as long as we have useful ones, we can exchange them!"

As soon as these words came out, the despair on the ice dwarf's face faded a lot, and they got together to discuss.

Trunks said, "Boss, why don't we change?"

Another giant bear beast king immediately roared in opposition.

"What's the change? He's scaring us. In my opinion, we can't be frightened by them, we still have to fight!"

"Yes, we must let these despicable southern softfoot people know how powerful we are!"

"Boss, the Ice Emperor told us that the softfoot people in the south are very despicable, and they will definitely add despicable poison to the food they trade!"

"How can we fight against such a high and thick city wall?"

There was a beast king who suggested an idea.

"Of course we can't fight head-on, but we can use soul curse to deal with that lord. As long as he is cursed to death, the opponent will definitely be in chaos."

Trunks exploded as soon as he heard it, and roared: "Hod, the other party is the lord of the gods, and there are gods in the territory. Not only is it useless, but it will also attract golden punishment!"

"Why is it useless? It worked last time."

Trunks laughed angrily: "It was a sneak attack last time! This time we are attacking from the front, can it be the same?"

"If you really want to attract God's punishment, do you live alone? The big guys must bear it together!"

"I think you are afraid of death!"

"I am not afraid of death, what I am afraid of is meaningless death in battle!"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Asak raised his hand to signal silence: "Things are completely out of control, please pray to the Ice Emperor and seek his guidance."

So, a group of ice dwarves and beast kings began to pray to the gods.

A few minutes later, the Beastmasters opened their eyes one after another, and their opinions were unified.

Trunks said, "God agrees to the deal."

That new problem comes right away.

A beast king said: "We didn't bring so much ore, and it's such a long way back and forth, how can we trade?"

Trunks said: "Boss, why don't you ask the lord on the opposite side?"

Asak nodded, turned and shouted at the city wall.

"Lord, we agree to a deal. But we didn't bring any ore, and we are too hungry. You have to give food first."

Rosen felt relieved, and immediately laughed loudly: "It doesn't matter if you don't bring any ore, use the iron weapons in your hands to exchange them with us!"

"I'm not bullying you either, just at the price of our highlands, a 4-dira iron knife can be exchanged for 150-dira potatoes!"

The ice dwarves looked at each other in dismay.

There is no reason to exchange weapons for food. If the exchange is over, the other side will turn their backs and deny it, and they have no weapons at hand, so isn't it for nothing?
But then again, the price is really good.

The ice dwarves are very good at mining. There are more than a dozen huge iron-rich mines being mined in the Frost Land. There is so much iron that almost everyone has several iron knives in their homes.

A 4-dira iron knife can only be exchanged for 10-dira grains in the frosty land, but it can be exchanged for 150-dira potatoes here.

The gap of fifteen times is very exciting.

A beast king said, "Why don't we change?"

Another Beastmaster said, "Don't worry. I heard that southerners pay attention to bargaining when doing business, so we have to do the same."

"Yes, yes, you have to shout louder."

The leader, Asak, naturally wanted to make more money, but he was afraid that the price would be too high, so he broke up the deal, and if he apologized shyly at that time, even the current price would be gone.

So he asked: "Sages, how much do you think is appropriate?"

Trunks immediately said, "I think it's okay to call 200."

"200 less, at least 250?"

"Is 250 too high?"

"220?"

"240? If it doesn't work, you can negotiate the price again."

So Asak shouted: "4 dilas for iron knives, 240 dilas for potatoes!"

Rosen suddenly laughed, knowing that the matter was over.

He responded loudly.

"I know you have been hit by a catastrophe and food has become a problem, and I feel very sympathetic."

"How about this, this year's transaction will be based on 4 dilas iron for 250 dilas grains, so as to help you ease the disaster. But next year, you can only pay 150 yuan, otherwise I will lose a lot of money!"

After hearing this, the ice dwarves immediately softened their expressions.

"Well, this baron is not bad."

"I said he was good, but you just didn't listen to me."

"Don't say it too early, the ghost knows if he will lie or not?"

The leader, Asak, was also very grateful when he heard this.

"Then thank you Baron, let's go back and prepare the iron knife."

Rosen is also very happy.

"Okay, I'll go back and prepare food. But please remember, no matter how many iron knives you bring over, I will have enough food to exchange with you!"

"In fact, I have prepared [-] million dilas of food!"

In fact, it is far from that much, but this thing is not for him to shout, it is better to bluff people.

Sure enough, the faces of the uninformed ice dwarves on the opposite side were shocked, and even the leader Asak could hardly keep calm.

A group of bumpkins looked at each other.

"How could there be so many? It's a lie, right?"

"I think it's possible. Because if you don't have enough food to support you, you wouldn't have the energy to build such a high city wall."

"Southerners, how can they be so rich?"

"I heard that there are countless people in the Golden Land. If everyone urinates in the North Sea, they can melt all the floating ice in the sea."

"Hey, you said that the southerners are so rich, do you mean gold is mixed in the shit they pull out?"

"Is that impossible?"

In a bunch of broken words, the impression of the land of gold being rich and invincible was deeply imprinted in the minds of these hillbilly ice dwarves.
