Monarch of Evernight
Chapter 184 Trade Points
Thousands of nights in the wilderness, his goal is a human settlement almost 200 kilometres away. On the general map, it is only a concentration site similar to a military outpost, normally staffed with up to one company of troops for alert and initial blockade.
But when it comes to meeting the Dark Races, what's the role of a company in a district? So these outposts, which have always been regarded as fearful by Expeditionary soldiers, will be manned only by people who have made a big mistake, or who have committed a serious offense that they should not have.
Therefore, in the minds of the Expeditionary Officers, this kind of settlement was largely inadvertently ignored, and as long as no news was received, it was good news.
It has to be said that disguising the Seventh Division and the important fulcrum of the Dark Race deal as such an inescapable place is indeed a good way to conceal one's purpose.
What we're trying to do now is go to that settlement, and the news says there's been a "merchant team" stopping by recently.
Once out of town, the thousands of nights act in a wilderness hunter's way, converging the atmosphere, moving forward with all kinds of terrain and leaving as little trace as possible. At this point, a hidden roar suddenly appeared in the sky, a floating boat coming from the direction of Black River City towards the sky at the top of a thousand nights.
I looked up at the angle of the floating boat's wings and the speed of the tail thrusters, and judged the front and rear orientation, "That's a shame, even the floating boat was sent out. ”
A great tree was found at night, climbed to the crown and rested, waiting for the floating boat to pass. This floating boat is small and of fairly old size. If it were to be eliminated in the upper continent of the Empire, it would be an antique grade, but it would still be a rare good thing on the continent of eternal night. Even as the commander of the Expeditionary Army, Wu Zhengnan would not be able to use many floating boats.
It is equally expensive to use and maintain a floating boat because it consumes large quantities of high-grade fuel every time it is flown. In general, even small- and medium-sized fights with the Dark Race would never involve the use of floating boats to transport troops without extreme urgency. As for aerial reconnaissance using floating boats, the former Red Scorpion Regiment did so often, although it was believed that a division of the Expeditionary Army that only had to guard a fixed theatre of operations would not spend that much on it.
As a result, the destination of the floating boat was echoed.
It took about 10 minutes to rest and wait for the floating boat to overhead before proceeding.
When night falls, the contours of the settlement finally appear on the horizon. It's a hilltop building community, totally small enough to accommodate about a thousand people, far from the usual kind of small place with only two or three hundred people.
Where the Dark Race Army is likely to emerge at any moment, there is a colony of such magnitude, which is clearly not normal. Thousands of nights slightly frowned, everything I saw in front of me shows that the transaction must have existed safely for a long time, the size of the 'merchant team’ must be huge, not only the number of goods traded, but also the volume.
At this time of the thousand nights, there are some worries in my mind that removing the fangs that have become climate will certainly not go smoothly. Wei Feng Tian's side is fine, the whole Far East Wei Shi is his backing, at best, that is, Wu Zhengnan cannot be impeached. Song Zining, however, went to touch the black crystal channel behind Wu Zhengnan's scene. It was always dangerous to involve real interests.
Thousands of nights quickly cleaned up their moods and began to approach the settlement under cover of night and terrain. Night wars were supposed to be his specialty, but since this stronghold is the base for trading with the Dark Races, there must be no shortage of Dark Races. Many of the dark races, however, possess a certain night vision capability, so a thousand nights does not have a particular advantage in this regard.
The thousands of nights became more vigilant when they saw the vast open space outside the town area, as well as a tens of metres tall tower. It's a simple floating boat takeoff and landing base. It is clear that the floating boats that we have just seen are not just serving this taboo exchange, but are commonly used facilities, thus demonstrating the importance of the place.
This settlement has expanded to such a size that it was not created two days a day, which means that it cannot be removed in a short period of time. Thousands of nights don't even need to be explored, just take this information back and wait for a surprise inspection from the Imperial Army Department to be able to grab a grip.
But it's all here. Thought about it for a thousand nights, I decided to go inside and see for myself what the deal was. If the time was right, he wouldn't mind giving those guys a hard time.
When the distance got closer, a thousand nights later, the town was cautious and he smelled some unique smells. That's the smell of wolves, not military dogs. Then he saw that wandering in the alley of this small town was a giant wolf raised by a werewolf. These natural guards are much better than regular sentries.
But the thousand nights were ready to take out some powder and sprinkle it on you, and then continue in the darkness. This specially made powder has a latent silencing torture on the wolf's sense of smell that instinctively avoids the source of flavor, but is not stunned.
When the thousand nights eventually came under the town wall, it was found that the wall in front of it was made of logs, just over four metres tall. The observation tower is located in four directions, far apart, from where you can clearly see that the guards in the tower are a little sleepy.
Such a porous guard situation is not commensurate with the importance of this settlement. The more vigilant the night became, he did not think the place had been safe for many years, relying solely on unknown people.
The red light flashed through his eyes, and the dark vision of the night was as bright as a moment, and an anomaly was discovered. On the walls of the town, and on the ground beside the walls, there was a gray web of spiders, which would not have been easy to see if there had been no certainty in the mind.
These are not ordinary natural spider webs, a silk wire is connected to each other, forming a huge network. Behind the town walls, there must be one or several deep pits, each with a modo hunting spider lurking in it. This calf-sized spider is a sentinel maintained by a clan of spider demons, whose web is like an extension of their tentacles, and whose perceptions cannot be concealed by any unusual change.
The dazzling eyes of thousands of nights, the presence of wolves and Mordor Beast Spiders indicate that there are now unspeakable secrets in the town. Even military bases of the Dark Race are no more than guards.
However, Mordor Beast Spiders rarely live with most hunters, but in the eyes of a thousand nights there is nothing to be done. He grabbed several insects that were everywhere in the wilderness and threw them on the web.
These beetles or moths all have palm sizes, are extremely powerful in their actions, and struggle desperately to tear the web apart. But these silk webs are much more viscous and resilient than ordinary ones, and the more they struggle, the more silk they wrap around their bodies.
Just as several insects struggled, several wooden cones broke open and stuck firmly to their bodies into the wooden exterior wall.
In the sand, several fist-sized blue-grey hunters emerged from their hideouts and poured at the net's prey. They quickly wiped out the resistance of their prey, repaired their web and returned to their hiding place.
This is the weakness of Mordor's hunting spider web, which has limited intelligence and can only react to living creatures without noticing several more wooden vertebrae on the outer wall that do not exist.
Thousands of nights emerged from the night, he flew fast but landed silently. A few ups and downs leaped towards the town wall and stepped precisely on those wooden cones. He then turned over the wall and fell silently into the town.
It's not even late at night, but there's a silence in the town, few people are seen moving in the open streets, and the lights in the building are sluggish.
Standing in a shadow for a thousand nights, he took a deep breath, and his blood tumbled in his body and retracted his heart. Since Tian Xuan Chun hunting, the golden blood gas has become increasingly adapted to independent operation. When it is simultaneously mobilized with Dawn Force at a thousand nights, it will also have a hidden resonance. The ‘dawn of Qiming’ spilled from the Force becomes more and more similar. However, when the dark forces are extremely intense outside, the golden blood occasionally gets out of control, like in a tavern, as if choosing someone.
Shake your head for a thousand nights and throw this fear behind your head. Relying on the sensation of blood gas in his body, he had just discovered that the wind smelled rich of werewolves and spider demons, and in large numbers. Except there is no lineage. But it is also normal to think that werewolves and bloodlines have been enemies for millions of years, and they must not be forced to see the possibility of acting together.
The sound of footsteps and hidden speech came from the alley behind you. A few steps back in silence for a thousand nights, turning into a dead corner of the bend, standing still in the shadows, blood hiding ability activated, while using military secrets to converge the atmosphere.
Four or five people walked out of the adjacent alley and crossed the intersection of the Thousand Nights hideout, and their voices were heard in the Thousand Nights.
“Damn, wolves and spiders everywhere, I hate them! ”
“Keep your voice down! Have you forgotten how Lee died? Those guys don't care who you are. Once they find an excuse, they'll find a way to eat us! ”
“Alas, if anything really happens, President Zhou will not protect us at all, he will only let us bear it. ”
A slightly older voice said, "Just have another night. Don't complain, we both know how much you and I can get from completing this deal. With all that money, what's the point of not working with your head in mind? ”
“Just complete the deal and don't make any mistakes. ”
“After all these years, how many accidents? ”
“Forget it, just stay safe tonight, finish this big business, and let President Zhou buy you a drink. ”
Several people chatted all the way and gradually went away.
It seems that because of the unfinished business, there are now a number of dark races in this town. Judging from the sensation of blood, combined with the apparent dark style of several places in the town, there may be more than a dozen werewolves and four or five spider demons here at night. Don't look at the small number of spider demons, whose true power depends on all kinds of giant spiders. There are dozens of giant spiders, I'm afraid, in those two buildings that have the appearance of a web.
Such a configuration is sufficient to form a regular patrol of the Dark Race. Transactions that require such a force to protect are clearly of great value. It is precisely because of the large number of dark races in the town that humans were unable to close their doors early on.
The night is dark and the defense of the town is not a problem at all. However, for the people involved in the deal, the threat comes precisely from the werewolves and spider demons who came to make the deal. If you go out unaccompanied at night, you are likely to suddenly disappear. This has obviously happened a lot before, so when you see a human night out, you walk in groups.
The question now is, what is the deal between the two sides?
