Seeing that Zhao Hai had returned, Laura immediately asked, "What happened?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Big brother said that we will march to West Wonder King's camp in three days. He originally wanted to give the Fighting Bulls to me as our slaves, but I didn't want them. I wanted some of them with a mild temperament and not too strong fighting strength. The Fighting Bulls aren't suitable for that."
Laura nodded, "I also think so. The Fighting Bulls are famous among the beastmen for their bad temperament. Even if they were given to us, it would still be a troublesome matter. It seems like big brother is still taking care of us."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly, "Big brother has already thought about it. He wants to wait until the Fighting Bulls are destroyed, then he will give us all the Fighting Bulls as slaves. Hehe, he really is considerate."
Laura smiled and said, "I'm afraid that in the entire human race, only we have the most glory in the prairie. But our payment is really enough."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly, "Don't worry, our return will certainly be a lot. Well, let's not talk about this. In two days, we still have to go to West Wonder King's camp, I have to go with him. This time, there won't be a big battle. In any case, West Wonder King's camp has very few young and strong men. They shouldn't dare to face big brother head on, but I suspect that West Wonder King won't wait for death. I'm afraid there will be a counterattack, but I don't know what kind of counterattack it will be."
Laura smiled and said, "I see that with you, big brother doesn't need to bring an army. How many undead do you have in your hands? More than four hundred thousand? With this number, you can even establish a tribe in the prairie. Even if it's a tribe with more than a million people like big brother, they still don't have as many soldiers as you do. You also have to add in the slaves. The undead in your hands are much stronger than the average beastman army. "
The reason why Laura was so happy wasn't because of anything else. It was because with these undead, Iron Mountain Fort's safety would be guaranteed. Zhao Hai could now place these undead in Iron Mountain. An army of 400 thousand undead was equivalent to a 7th rank warrior. If they were to fight, they would be able to sweep across the Aksu Empire.
Of course, Zhao Hai didn't want to do that. If he really dared to do that, then he would become the enemy of all races in the continent. At that time, he would have no place to stay.
Zhao Hai smiled, then he sighed, "I really don't know what kind of face I'll have when I go to West Wonder King's camp."
Laura also sighed, although they didn't get along with West Wonder King, they couldn't help but recognize that they were friends with Beta. In this case, meeting Beta really made them feel awkward.
At this time, Meg suddenly said, "Young Master, if things here are solved, then we should go back to Iron Mountain Fort for the winter. I'm still not used to this place."
Zhao Hai thought for a moment and nodded, "We should go back. The winter in the prairie isn't short, three months. After we return to Iron Mountain Fort, we can use this time to go to Rosen Empire. It would be best if we establish a transmission point there. This way, when we return to the prairie next year, we can slowly establish our own business network in Rosen Empire. We can turn our goods into money in Rosen Empire. Moreover, if we need any supplies in the prairie, we can immediately purchase them from Rosen Empire. Rosen Empire is the continent's most powerful country, so they should have a complete set of supplies."
Laura nodded, "Rosen Empire certainly has a complete set of supplies. Their capital, Carson City, is the continent's largest commodity distribution center. There are rumors that as long as something is found in the continent, you can buy it there."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Isn't that better? When the time comes, even if we take something to sell there, nobody would pay attention to us. But this time, we need to change our approach. It would be best if we cooperate with someone with high authority in Rosen Empire. This way, nobody would dare to make a move against us, and the incident that happened in Purcell Duchy wouldn't happen again. "
Laura nodded, "I agree with Brother Hai's words. We don't need to worry about the Radiant Church in the Rosen Empire. However, we still need to guard against the influential people in the empire. They have the ability to make us unable to stay in the Rosen Empire. Therefore, we need to find a powerful person to cooperate with. This way, the situation in the Purcell Duchy won't happen again."
Zhao Hai nodded, "Let's go to Rosen Empire's Carson City first and observe the situation there. We need to understand the influence of Rosen Empire before we decide who to cooperate with."
Laura smiled and said, "Brother Hai, I think that the next time we see Bell, we can ask him if he has any connections in Rosen Empire. If he does, we can make use of it, what do you think?"
Zhao Hai's eyes shone, "I really didn't think of that. Right, we can ask Bell, I'm now a member of the League of Dark Mages. The league's strength isn't small, maybe they have some connections in Carson City."
The group discussed for a while, then they returned to Iron Mountain Fort and told Green and the others about their decision. Green and the others also agreed with Zhao Hai's plan. But now that winter had arrived in the Black Wasteland, the weather outside the fort was very cold. Fortunately, there was Cai 'er inside the fort, so it wasn't too cold. The factories inside the fort were still busy, they had a lot of milk wine in stock. The wool factory had also started to produce products, and the grain factory had also started to produce grain. Everything was on track.
Zhao Hai and the others felt relieved, but they still wanted to expand Iron Mountain Fort. In the future, they would have more and more people, as well as more and more factories. With the current size of Iron Mountain Fort, it wouldn't be long before it couldn't hold anymore.
But it's a pity that they didn't have a professional stonemason in their hands, otherwise they would be able to mine stones and expand the fort.
The Iron Mountain behind Iron Mountain Fort was almost hollowed out by the dwarves, they couldn't mine any more stones, otherwise it would be dangerous. Therefore, if they wanted to mine stones to expand the fort, they could only go to other places to do so. After all, the Iron Mountain Range wasn't small, but they lacked qualified stonemasons, so they couldn't mine stones on a large scale.
But now was obviously not the time to expand Iron Mountain Fort, it was already winter, the outside world was too cold. Zhao Hai's plan was to wait until next year.
Three days passed by in a blink of an eye. After Wales gave the order to dispatch troops to West Wonder King's camp, all the Herculean Bulls began to move. This time, they were more prepared than before. Before, they didn't have any supplies, but this time, they had supplies. Naturally, they were more prepared than before.
Zhao Hai had tents and other things, so they didn't need to worry about them. Therefore, they only prepared some weapons and other things for themselves.
This time, Wales naturally didn't send out the entire tribe, he still left 50 thousand guards in the main camp, giving weapons to the elderly and women in the main camp. When the time comes, they would have to participate in the battle.
This time, Wales set out with 150 thousand Herculean Bulls, as well as 100 thousand slave warriors.
The Herculean Bulls' slaves were mainly half-beastmen and some human slaves. It was impossible for a race like the Herculean Bulls to have their own slaves, they weren't qualified.
This time, most of the slaves that followed Wales were half-beastmen, they were the children of humans and beastmen. These children didn't have a big beast head like the beastmen, but they weren't completely human either. Their heads had a tribe that looked like a beastman, for example, a half-beastman from the Rabbit Tribe. They had a rabbit nose or long ears, except for this tribe, they looked like a human.
The physical condition of a half-beastman was better than a human, but worse than a beastman. They were also recognized as a slave race in the prairie, they were born as slaves.
When the Herculean Bull warriors saw that Zhao Hai was going with the army, they couldn't help but cheer. They liked going with Zhao Hai, they didn't need to worry about logistics, they only needed to hurry along and ambush the enemy.
The half-beastmen obviously didn't know about this, they were puzzled as they looked at the Herculean Bulls cheering Zhao Hai, they didn't know what it meant.
But they quickly understood, from the Herculean Bulls' main camp to West Wonder King's camp, it would only take about seven days. Of course, it was winter now, and they had just experienced a snowstorm, so their speed would be slowed down a lot.
Therefore, although this time's march would take about ten days, Zhao Hai and the others had already experienced this before. They were very experienced, they proceeded step by step without any accidents.
Along the way, Zhao Hai and the others would occasionally encounter Fighting Bulls that were killed or frozen to death. It can be seen that this time, the losses of the Fighting Bulls were too heavy.
Zhao Hai released a hawk, and with the Herculean Bull camp as the center, he searched for Fighting Bull corpses. In the end, he found more than a hundred thousand corpses, most of these corpses were killed, there were also a few that were frozen to death. He counted the number of Fighting Bull corpses, and now he found nearly six hundred thousand Fighting Bull corpses. The Fighting Bull population was only eight hundred thousand, and now more than half of them were gone.
Regarding this result, Zhao Hai was really helpless. If it wasn't winter, then the Fighting Bull tribe wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses. At most, they would have lost about 500 thousand people, and 100 thousand would have survived. This was because among the 600 thousand people that Zhao Hai accepted, 100 thousand of them froze to death.
