Chapter 101 Human Trafficking
"Inspector Shiloh, in a moment you ask all the soldiers of the wing to go and take all the armaments in the warehouse, no matter what is left, all of them. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIn the future, we may be very scarce in weapons and armaments, and if we really can't get them all, then let the soldiers of our logistics wing push them away. ”
"Grain should be made into pies as soon as possible. Finally, when the army departs, there is nothing left in the barracks! All of them, including the logistics wing, had to set off with the army. ”
"Okay, Commander, then I'll take my leave." Inspector Shiloh bowed and stepped back.
"Deputy Commander Hudson, I won't hide it from you now." Locke organized his words for a moment, then said to the gray-haired old major, "I'm going to the Silver Pines Forest with the Fifth Legion!" ”
"What?!" Major Hudson looked surprised and asked, "Did I hear me right?" ”
"Yes, you heard it right! I'm going to take the Fifth Legion to the Silver Pines Forest and reclaim my homeland there! Locke affirmed.
Major Hudson saw that Locke didn't seem to be talking nonsense, he looked down and thought about it, the wrinkles on his forehead piling up layer by layer, and soon he looked up and asked.
"Does High Lord Mograini know about this?"
"If the Great Lord knows, do you think we can still go?" Locke said with a wry smile.
"However, we only have a legion of soldiers, and some recruits with no combat experience." Hudson said with a frown.
"It's too risky."
"Do you know what's going on over there?" Major Hudson asked.
"I learned from the mouth of a goblin caravan that it is now controlled by gnolls and scourge undead, and the number of gnolls is the most outstanding." Locke replied.
"Our Fifth Army Corps has no food, I'm afraid we won't be able to go to that place." Major Hudson shook his head in denial.
"No, no, no, we have food, and it's huge!" Locke affirmed, "You'll understand then!" Please forgive not being able to tell you now. ”
Major Hudson crossed his shoulders in his hands and walked back and forth in the room thinking. Thinking about the feasibility of this thing.
What virtues do the gnolls have, this soldier of the old Lordaeron who has been fighting all his life knows very well, and he is really not wrong to say that they are a gang of robbers.
They do not produce, they make a living by destroying farmers' fields and looting, and their growth cycle is very fast, often growing into a new batch of gnolls in a year. So every summer, always when they are overflowing, they destroy the crops in the fields, rob the farmers of their food, kill the farmers and drag them into their humble camps as food.
These humanoid beasts would never have thought of robbing human caravans and ransacking human villages when they were alone, but when they were on a large scale, they would even dare to attack the trade routes between Brill and Lordaeron, and ambush the soldiers of Lordaeron.
Gnolls are tribal humanoids who are not highly intelligent, but due to their imperfect evolution, they cannot use tools to grow crops because they still have claws on their hands. They use some fabrics such as linen, silk, and wool that they have stolen from humans to make colorful tents and make colorful tents with looted fishing lines, and live in the depths of the jungle.
Often, their recipes contain humans all the time.
If you had dealt with the gnolls in the past, it would not have been a big problem. If it's against the Scourge, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult.
Major Hudson looked up at Locke, who was looking at him expectantly.
Major Hudson opened his mouth, but when he saw Locke's hopeful eyes, he decided to change his mind and support Locke's decision, deciding not to refute it.
But before you go, you still have to send scouts to investigate.
"All right, Legion Commander. I'm in principle for this operation, but I'd like to do it with the scouts' close intelligence support. As soon as the situation is not right, we will immediately reflexively return to Gadar, after all, our crusaders cannot afford such a big loss. Major Hudson said solemnly.
"You'll be the best you can support, Major Hudson. As for the intelligence, don't worry, I'll arrange the Norris Wing Captain mission right now. ”
"Don't tell anyone else about this yet, Major Hudson, keep it a secret for a while. Otherwise, the Great Lord knows, then we won't be able to go. Including our officers, only the three of us know about it. Locke admonished.
"Alright, Captain, I'll get ready." Major Hudson said with a firm face, since the decision has been made, let's equip it well.
After Major Hudson left, Locke said to Norris, "Your Scout Wing mission is very important this time, and I say you listen carefully. ”
"Come on, I'm not a child." Norris rolled her eyes and said angrily.
"Find a few clever scouts, let them go to Olivia Mage first, make a stealth enchantment for their equipment, and then let them go all the way to the Silver Pine Forest to check out the environment there, we can't just listen to the goblins, we need to see with our own eyes. At the same time, let them find a suitable place to build a city at the entrance to the Silver Pine Forest, where we must be prepared for a long battle. ”
"Oh? Do you want to occupy that land? Norris asked, her eyes flashing.
"If I don't occupy it, those who are forgotten will occupy it in the future, and we will take control of the Silver Pine Forest before them, so as to lay the foundation for the future."
"Do you understand?" Locke asked, putting his hands on Noris's shoulder.
"Got it! Don't look at me like that. Didn't I work that way before? Norris said with some displeasure. I know better than you about scouting! ”
"Okay." Locke raised his hands in surrender. "Starting tomorrow, send scouts out of the camp. In the name of training, they were sent to scout the situation around the Haru Gorge next to the ruins of Lordaeron. ”
"Got to know the Legion Commander~" Norris said helplessly, and she suddenly realized that Locke was a chatterbox.
Located between the royal city of Lordaeron and the Skar Mountains, Haru Canyon is a key link between the Silverpine Forest and Tirisfa, a thriving trade route that has been abandoned since the Scourge conquered the Silverpine Forest and the Archmage Arugao summoned werewolves to fight the Scourge.
"In short, your task is very important, you have to have a snack at one point, don't go wrong, now the entire legion almost knows about the relationship between you and me, do you understand?" Locke admonished again.
"Yes, yes, I won't trouble you! Legionnaire! Norris raised her voice as she signaled her displeasure.
Locke laughed, and reached out to scratch her upturned nose while she was unprepared.
Norris was attacked for a moment, then hurriedly stepped back and covered her nose with a fierce expression.
"Then I'm leaving."
Locke nodded, and Norris saluted him, then left with a mischievous smile.
Locke was in the legion headquarters, waiting for the arrival of the goblins, and this time the food was all up to them, 10 tons of food was enough for the crusaders to eat for more than two months, and even the war horses could eat for more than a month. Wait until you get to the Silver Pine Forest to find a way to let the goblins transport food from Treasure Bay to this side by sea.
After waiting for a while, when Locke was a little impatient, the door to the command opened, and Bridget walked in with a small green object.
"Legion, Captain, I brought their leader."
Locke nodded, and Bridget walked behind Locke, whining as she passed Locke, "These little green monsters stink to death!" I bet they don't shower. ”
Locke glared at her, she stuck out her tongue, and then stood behind Locke, regaining her herald demeanor.
"Oh! I really didn't expect you to be the corps commander of the fifth officer! Haha, I'm really lucky! Trader Zax walked towards Locke with a smile.
He walked up to Locke, lowered his already low stature and bowed to Locke, and then said. "Greetings to Legion Elder Zax, a trader under the Trade Prince Strymwilder."
Locke smiled and pointed to the table and chair next to him and said, "Please be seated, my guest." ”
The goblin bowed again, and he struggled to climb onto the chair for humans to sit on, and he spoke. "My lord, do you know Strymwilder, Prince of Trade? He is the big boss of the Port Resha group and one of the 5 rulers of our goblin world, and he is the richest man in Azeroth. You will definitely be able to do business with him, and your trade, under certain circumstances, will be protected by our group's army! ”
"In short, you won't regret doing business with us!"
Goblin trader Zax tries hard to sell Locke the brand of Hot Sand Harbor, and Locke can't help but laugh to himself, even the goblins of this world know about the brand effect these days.
"Zax, there's a chance to say hello to Strymwilder, Prince of Trade, for me." Locke said this first, but he didn't think this guy would necessarily be able to meet Strymwilder, the Prince of Trade, because Zax's rank was too low.
This trade prince Strymhuaid can be said to be the big man in the goblin world, and it can also be said to be the big man in this world.
"Yes, sir." Trader Zax nodded vigorously, then he looked at Locke flatteringly and asked, "My lord, are you here to talk to me about business this time?" ”
Locke nodded and said, "Yes, I want to talk to you about a deal." ”
The goblin clapped his hands excitedly, "Aha! My lord, I knew you were going to do business with me! ”
Bridget behind Locke laughed.
"That's right, I want you to bring this grain to the entrance to the Haru Gorge, where we will trade there, and I have more orders for you at the same time."
Locke interrupted the goblin who was about to speak, and continued.
"Also, I'd like to talk to you about a human trafficking."
When Bridget heard Locke say this, she immediately looked at Locke in disbelief, she didn't expect and would never have thought that a paladin would have such a dirty idea!
She was a little angry, but because the goblins were present, she couldn't make a sound, so she held the breath in her stomach and had a seizure when the goblins were gone.
"Oh? Tell me, my lord, what kind of population is buying and selling? The goblin trader was overjoyed when he heard about human trafficking, and human trafficking was the only one that made a lot of money out of all business.
