CHAPTER XII THE TRADE TRADE

Arthur walked into the vice president's office of the Mercenary Union for the second time, and Winigia was holding a thick book of mainland history and frowned and pondering.

Seeing Arthur come in, Vinigia raised her eyelids a little, but said, "Why are history always full of lies?"

Arthur pondered for a moment and replied slowly: "History is recorded by humans, and even historians will have selfish intentions. The records of orcs that happened on the mainland will never be the same as those of our human race."

Vinigia leaned over and moved out a thicker leather book from under the table, "This is the history of orcs. Some major events on the mainland. Although the records of humans and beasts are different, it can still be seen that the same thing is described. But like the history of humans, there are many things missing in the history of orcs. Is there any special reason that makes the two races lie at the same time?"

Arthur was completely asked this time, so he had to rush to change the topic, "Do you come to me just to let me study history with you?"

Only then did Venigia come back to her senses and push the history book aside, "There is a task related to the Isaac branch of Yunxiao Trading Company. I want to recommend the Blue Ape Mercenary Group to take on this task in the name of the guild."

"Does this mission have anything to do with that clue?"

"On the surface, it doesn't matter, but it's an opportunity to approach Yunxiao Business. Only by understanding them first will you have the opportunity to discover problems."

Arthur nodded, "Yes, I just have a question. I know that Yunxiao Trading Company has its own guardian power, and is stronger than most mercenary groups. What kind of mission does it require additional mercenary power."

“Interracial trade.”

With a word from Vinigia, Arthur probably understood. Yunxiao Trading Company, as the largest trading company of the human race, is capable of engaging in interracial trade. They have their own secret channels to trade with foreign races, and interracial trade is all profitable.

Vinigia continued to explain: "Yunxiao Trading Company recently had a batch of goods to be shipped to the Orlando Mountains. Although the other party did not say it clearly, the buyer must be the orcs on the opposite side. Because the Orlando Mountains are not peaceful recently, the trading company found a union and asked to hire a team of mercenaries with strong numbers and strong strength to escort them, and a confidentiality agreement is required."

"You reply to them, I, Blue Virgin, took this task."

"So happy? Don't you ask for the reward?"

Arthur smiled, "I am more interested in the orcs traded opposite each other."

......

Three days later, Arthur met the employer of the mission outside the south gate of Huaores City, a middle-aged man with a gloomy face.

Although Collored is only a senior manager of Yunxiao Commercial Bank, the senior managers who can be responsible for transactions between different races are all core senior managers of the commercial bank. Only those who are fully trusted by the commercial bank’s headquarters have the opportunity to take charge of a secret business channel.

Collored looked at Arthur and the dozen mercenaries behind him, but showed dissatisfaction, "Waores' mercenary branch strongly recommended you to us Blue Virgin. Are you only such a few people?"

Because the fewer people the other party asked to know, the better, the mercenaries involved must have the strength of being a war lieutenant or above. Arthur pulled out all the people in the mercenary group except Moral and gathered fifteen people.

Arthur said lightly: "Your business commissioned this time not to ask us Blue Virgin to do odd jobs, but to work hard at critical moments. At critical moments, our dozen mercenaries are far more useful than your own guards."

Behind Collored, Yunxiao Trading Company traded the goods this time, which included seventy or eighty musk ox-carried goods, and nearly a hundred men and guards accompanied him, so Arthur said so.

Collored frowned, but did not continue to argue with Arthur, "I hope your mercenary group will not disappoint me."

Arthur and the Blue Ape's mercenaries began the escort mission in such a not-so-friendly atmosphere.

Arthur and the others were quite casual in the previous few days, just following the caravan, but since they entered the outer periphery of the Orlando Mountains, they immediately became nervous.

After several missions, the Blue Ancestor's mercenaries have now become very professional. Huey led two experienced old mercenaries to explore the road two or three miles ahead of the caravan. The dwarf Torun and the elf Elanni also brought two people to protect the left and right sides of the caravan, guarding against bandits or monsters suddenly rushing into the team.

Dwarves and elves are races that are good at fighting in the wild, and both of them have adapted to the transformation of mercenary identities.

Except for Spence who was lazy and dragging the caravan at the end, Arthur led the others to the front of the caravan. Although there were only fifteen people in the Blue Ape, it still formed a loose encirclement to protect the caravan in the middle.

The Blue Ape only performs a guard mission, but the direction of the caravan's travel in the mountains is decided by the business manager Kolorede.

There are countless Zhongshan Road in the long Orlando Mountains, and the main force of the War Song Legion, who is responsible for border guarding, only guards several passes that are easy to pass by. In addition, there are countless steep paths in the mountains that can be crossed by the two tribes.

These steep paths are secret resources that can generate huge profits when put into Yunxiao Trading. As long as you agree with the orcs on the opposite side, you can use these secret paths to trade.

Following the direction of Kcoloreid, the caravans and mercenaries crossed the peaks, crossed the rivers, and walked between the mountains.

Arthur had been in the mountains for a month before finally running out, so he was quite familiar with the terrain trend in the mountains. He found that Collored often took a caravan to detour. Arthur saw through but did not say it out loud. The other party's intention was nothing more than to take the secret of this trade route into his own hands.

In front of the caravan was a mountain road with a huge slope. It was a bit difficult for the heavy musk ox to climb on the narrow mountain road. It required the merchants of the business to pull them hard in front to move forward.

"Stop!" Arthur responded immediately when he found Huey running down from above.

"Retreat, there is an ambush on it!" Huey was still a distance away from the caravan and began to shout, and countless rolling gravels were chasing him and the two mercenaries.

"You retreat, let's stop them." Arthur did not show too panic. It would be strange if such a large caravan was not targeted by others in the mountains? What's more, Arthur noticed signs of being followed a day ago.

Facing the gravel rolling down from the mountain, Arthur, who was already in the leader of the team, took a few steps forward, quickly built a magic circle with his hands, and then took a slap on the mountain road.

As Arthur casts spells continuously, three thick stone walls rose from the mountain road. Huey and the other two who ran to the nearest went easily over the stone wall, and the gravel chasing behind them was stopped.

Collored looked at Arthur who was casting the spell and was surprised, "He turned out to be a magician?"
