The Last Apostle Chapter 42: Burash Mire
So, Iron Wolf immediately called a group of subordinates for a meeting to discuss, and then formulated a battle plan, pretending to agree to the negotiating request of the Ithilien family, and then pre-arranged a very insidious sealing circle.
This sealing circle is called Buraxiu Mire, which can turn the designated area into a terrifying quagmire where ghosts and gods are inhabited. Enemies in it will be entangled with various negative effects, although there is no direct damage Power, but the purpose is not to kill or something, but to imprison.
What's more, this sealing circle can be pre-arranged in other places, and then it can be used to cover a certain area and take effect quickly. In this way, no matter how the enemy checks the meeting and negotiation area beforehand is of no avail.
In the end, the Ithilien family was successfully imprisoned. Several high-level officials were trapped in the quagmire of Buraxiu, and they would not be able to get out for a while. The people also began to launch a general attack.
The Ithilien family was caught off guard and was immediately devastated. However, the conflict between them and the mercenaries was already very intense before, so the outer defenses of the entire valley quickly fell. The plan was retracted again and entered the core area of the valley. After all, this family has been operating here for hundreds of years, so there is a towering castle in the core area. It is almost certain to say that this castle just happened to be built. On the ruins that appeared after the crash of the Sage's Call.
And why did the Ithilien family hire mercenaries before? It is because there is not enough manpower to defend the entire valley. However, after they retreated to the castle, the area that needs to be defended has shrunk by more than ten times, so the manpower in the family is enough at once. The offensive of the Sons of Meath organization came to a complete standstill.
However, although the offensive was frustrated and failed to capture the opponent's castle in one go, Iron Wolf looked at the statistical information gathered by his subordinates at this time, and his originally sinister expression suddenly disappeared, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. It was like being given a shot in the arm.
No wonder the Ithilien family wants to negotiate peace even if they have the family castle as a backup. It turns out that while they transformed the outskirts of the valley into a defensive fortress, several workshops and factories were built inside the valley. After all, the wealth consumed by such a huge family every day is astronomical, and it must be supported by a steady stream of economic income, otherwise it will be drained every minute.
It has now been found out that the most valuable property of the Ithilien family in the valley is a whetstone mine, and this is a high-quality rich whetstone mine. The high-quality whetstones produced are used in the alchemy and forging industries. will play a broad role.
Intuitively speaking, the status of this whetstone mine on the earth is roughly equivalent to the value of a titanium ore and an aluminum ore. At the same time, this whetstone is also accompanied by flash stone and flame stone, which increases the value of this rich mine by 30%.
The second most valuable thing is an alchemy potion workshop that has been in operation for more than a hundred years. The medicine ponds used to store medicinal raw materials are hard to buy with money, because it is said that a good medicine pond can even improve the quality of raw materials.
The longer the alchemy potion workshop, the better the quality of the alchemy potions produced, and it can increase the refining rate of certain alchemy potions. It is said that with Remy's assistance, this powerful potion can only be successfully refined in an alchemy potion workshop called Nanshan in Ghent, and this alchemy potion workshop has been passed down for more than a thousand years.
And in this valley, there is also a vineyard and a winemaking workshop. The grapes used for wine production actually have high quality requirements. The soil quality and water source for planting the grapes will cause subtle changes in the quality of the grapes. The taste has a decisive influence, so even if it is the same grape variety, if it is transplanted in another place and made wine with the same method, the final taste will be very different.
At this time, the thousands of bottles of wine found in the winemaking workshop taste very good, and they are rare top-grade wines, and each bottle can be sold at a high price.
The Ithilien family not only owns rich mines, but also has alchemy potion workshops, vineyards, and winemaking workshops. It can be said that it has a whole three golden hens. When encountering foreign enemies, you can easily invite a large number of people to help.
And this is only their superficial strength, the real hidden strength is all in this strong castle deep in the valley! From this point of view, there is a reason why their secrets have not been revealed.
Of course, for Iron Wolf, the three hens that laid golden eggs were caught in his hands, and he felt at ease. After all, he also gambled on his credit and life savings before. And the income he got now is not only the return of the capital, but also a small profit. More importantly, after he has obtained these tangible income now, it is equivalent to having a good theme, and even more It's time to find a venture capital investment
"Brother, I started a project recently. Now the first stage of the project has been successful, and I have already made good profits. There are three rich whetstone mines, five century-old alchemy potion workshops, three winemaking workshops, and one The 10,000-mu vineyard, this is the ore and associated ore mined by the Fushi Mine. Here is the photo of the century-old alchemy workshop. Just now we drank the wine produced by the workshop. Welcome to visit at any time! Bring 20 bottles back later Give the family a taste"
"What? The income of the second stage, which involves ancient ruins, is at least ten times the previous income! Ah? You have to invest money, sorry, only 10% of the share, I You have to save some soup for others, we are all brothers"
"Twenty percent? No, no, eighteen percent at most! I really can only give 18 percent, so I have to talk to others, don't worry, you Don't worry, I will send the plan later, and our project will be fine!"
""
Thus, the thing that the Ithilien family was most worried about happened, that is, the iron wolf endorsed the resources that it had robbed, successfully fooled a group of bad guys, and then used the money these big guys took to deal with them. It's called burning other people's money and doing your own thing! !
***
Du Yuqi did not take part in the next series of offensive and defensive battles surrounding the castle. If his hatred reappears on the battlefield again, it might be set on fire in an instant.
Therefore, Du Yuqi stayed in the rear obediently and did the work of saving lives and healing the wounded. In fact, after he successfully treated Babylon, his reputation here became quite loud, and his treatment method can be said to be cheap and economical. Affordable, although it is not useful in emergency situations, but it is a very good choice after returning from injuries.
So the ones who come to Du Yuqi the most are the Berserkers~IndoMTL.com~ Once they go to battle, they always charge at the forefront, and they often get seriously injured, but because of their professional ability, their survivability is much higher. Xi often rushed out to fight, and gradually merged with the absorbed mutated terra stone power, and used it freely.
As time went by, the son of Ramis was not in a hurry, because under the lobbying of the iron wolf, they received a strong injection of resources, and they could spend time with each other. However, Ithilien However, the family side showed a clear decline. After all, there were more and more enemies under siege, and the own side was fighting alone. There was no way to fight such a hopeless battle.
Under such circumstances, Iron Wolf and others made a plan, and even put forward a slogan, that is, those who surrender will not die, and half of the wealth and treasures carried by the first fifty people who surrendered can be kept. , and in order to convince the other party, Iron Wolf specially made an oath under the city in the name of ghosts and gods, so that once he broke his oath, he would be swallowed by ghosts and gods.
As a result, this trick really worked. Two or three hundred people escaped directly from the castle that night. In front of everyone in the castle during the day, he took away half of their belongings and let them go, saying that he kept his word.
