Enduring the PDA attack, I still wrote a chapter. Please subscribe!
After spending a lot of effort, the Barbarian finally broke free from the shadow tentacles. The whole process took almost a minute, and he had to go berserk in the end.
"Bang bang bang!"
Suhlen summoned the shadow tentacles again. This time, Suhlen didn't use them to tie people up. Instead, he tried to use them to attack. The 3 meter long shadow tentacle was like a flexible whip, and it quickly attacked the targets around him.
As the tentacles danced in the air, they brought with them a sharp gust of wind. When they hit the wooden targets, wooden chips flew everywhere. Very soon, deep marks were left on the wooden targets. Although the power of the tentacles was average, it was still quite good as a control skill.
After becoming an advanced wizard, Suhlen could learn a lot more spells. Another important thing was that he could teleport. In fact, it was just a flash. He could use it in battle. Suhlen had already mastered the long-distance teleportation spell, but he had just started to learn this flash spell. After mastering this spell, Suhlen's fighting style had changed a lot.
Many dangerous attacks could be easily dodged with his sixth sense. Of course, he also had to be careful not to give others a chance to cast dimensional anchor. The function of dimensional anchor was very simple. After being targeted by dimensional anchor, you couldn't use dimensional teleportation for a while.
Also, this spell was much easier to learn than teleportation. It only required an intermediate wizard to learn it. Of course, the effectiveness of this spell depended on the difference in level between the caster and the target. If the target was a legendary wizard and you were only an elite wizard, even if you cast 10 dimensional anchors, it would still be useless.
.....
The reconstruction of the northern city was in full swing. At the same time, in the newly built auction house, 8000 orcs, gnolls, and trolls were also being auctioned. The caravans from the southern coastal countries were very interested in these orc slaves. Suhlen set them in groups of 20, and the price for each group was 200 Kinnar. In fact, this price was on the low side.
However, there were more than twenty companies bidding for the slaves. The average price of these slaves was five hundred Kinnar per group. Forty groups of slaves brought Northern Town City more than twenty thousand Kinnar in total.
Suhlen didn't keep the 20,000 Kinnar Banknotes. He used it to buy all kinds of resources. North Town's population had skyrocketed. Other than food and ironware, there was a shortage of other resources. Suhlen had built a lot of workshops in his territory, but it was impossible for him to be self-sufficient in a short time.
Suhlen's main focus now was on military and food. As for spices, sugar, and wine, these industries didn't need many people. There were quite a number of people working in the textile workshops in the territory. However, they only produced high-grade fine linen, cotton, and a small amount of silk. These were supplied to the Liege's Mansion, Hathaway, and Karina.
The excess would be sold. As for the coarse flax used by commoners, it wasn't for sale. Suhlen planned to gather some women and build a textile workshop to produce coarse linen. After all, cloth was very important. He couldn't always rely on merchants to buy it.
There were also a lot of daily necessities that Suhlen planned to produce in his territory. North Town City was three hundred miles away from the nearest city. If all the goods were transported from the Kingdom of Florence, the price of the cheapest goods would be more than double.
The traveling merchants in this era weren't as developed as in his previous life. If they didn't make two or three times the profit, they wouldn't bring goods back. Therefore, Suhlen had his caravans purchase all the goods from the outside world every month. Of course, some of them were brought back by other caravans.
Most of the people in North Town City were serfs and refugees. Their purchasing power was limited. Suhlen couldn't sell them at a high price. He couldn't even sell them at cost price. Therefore, not only did he not make money, he even lost money. However, he had to do this business. It was related to the people's livelihood. If Suhlen wanted to build a country, he had to do it even if he had to lose money.
Of course, this was only temporary. When all kinds of small workshops were opened in the future, the basic necessities could be met locally. By then, Suhlen wouldn't have to spend money every month.
These necessities didn't seem like much, but to the commoners, it was related to their livelihood. Let alone North Town City, even in Calt City, if the price of food increased by thirty percent, the commoners would be forced to sell themselves as slaves. If the price was higher, even the commoners wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Many merchants, nobles, and tycoons would take advantage of natural disasters to stock up on their goods. They would artificially raise the price of food, turning the commoners into proletarians or even slaves.
Suhlen was so busy that his head was spinning. He wanted to go out for a walk. He rode on a horse and followed the caravan to Calent City to purchase some goods. To his surprise, he was robbed not long after he left North Town City.
The robbers were a group of Northern Barbarian Bandits. The patrols of North Town City were only responsible for maintaining the safety of the territory. Therefore, after leaving North Town City, everything would return to normal. The Northern Barbarians Suhlen encountered were one of them.
The Northern Barbarians were very similar to the Barbarians in North Town City. The Northern Barbarians were just a general term. The Barbarians had their own names. Even the Barbarians themselves didn't know how many tribes there were in the Northern Wastelands. There were many Barbarian Tribes living in the Northern Wastelands.
The Barbarian Tribes were known for their thick body hair. They were tall and brave, but lacked discipline. They liked to solve problems with brute force. They were born with a weak resistance to the cold. Similarly, the Northern Barbarian Women were tall and big. However, their skin was fair but a little rough. Their facial features were also quite delicate. They were similar to the warriors of his previous life.
The Northern Barbarians' brains were always cramped. They liked to drink and fight. Their bad temper and stubbornness were comparable to the dwarves.
The group that robbed Suhlen was obviously a small Barbarian Tribe in the Northern Wastelands. It was already winter in the Northern Wastelands, but there were still some Barbarians with bare arms. Only these people had high resistance to the cold. Normal people would have frozen to death if they dared to do so.
Suhlen found that the Northern Barbarians had a wolf's head tattooed on their chests. This should be the totem they believed in. Many of the Northern Barbarians had shamans. Some of them believed in nature, while others believed in their ancestors. The reason why the Northern Barbarians were so scattered was because of their own beliefs.
.....
After blocking the way, the Northern Barbarians let out a strange roar. After seeing the robbers, a leader immediately ran over to Suhlen to report. Suhlen looked at the robbers in the distance and ordered, "Lure them here!"
It would be a waste to reject the slaves that were delivered to his doorstep. These Northern Barbarians were very useful whether they were slaves or soldiers. He could capture them and throw them to Boulder or Johnson for training. No matter how rebellious they were, they would be beaten into obedience. Although they were stubborn, they were not idiots.
The guards in the caravan this time were all elites. All of them were veterans who had been on the battlefield. After hearing Suhlen's order, they immediately understood his intention. Then, they smiled and ordered their men to take action. The caravan directly turned around and pretended to be panicked, trying to escape to the territory of Northern Town City. At the same time, in order to prevent these people from catching up, the caravan deliberately slowed down a little, giving the robbers a feeling that they could easily catch up with them.
As expected! These robbers acted as if they were acting. They were completely acting according to the script.
When a bearded bandit leader with a bare chest and an unknown animal skin on his body saw that the caravan was about to escape, he immediately shouted to his men, "They want to escape. Hurry up and catch up with them. Haha, their carriages are slow. They must have a lot of goods. We're going to be rich this time!"
"Get ready to surround them!"
"This time, we have to take all of them. Don't let any of them escape!"
The robbers who robbed on the trade route in Northern Town naturally knew about the specialties of Northern Town City. After seeing that the caravan was slow, they immediately realized that there was probably alcohol and sugar in it.
The guards of the caravan under Suhlen's command had traveled this trade route many times. Naturally, they knew what the robbers were after. The other Orcs and Gnolls wanted food and weapons, but these Northern Barbarians preferred strong alcohol.
However, these robbers would never have thought that they were not targeting a little rabbit this time, but a big crocodile hiding under the water.
Waves of shouts and howls came closer and closer. The Northern Barbarians in front of them rushed up excitedly. From time to time, some of them roared like war cries. Their faces were full of excitement because they realized that there were not many people in the caravan. When they could see the other party clearly, these robbers sped up and rushed up.
"Let's begin!"
Suhlen, who had been sitting in the carriage and watching the show, waved his hand. Then, the guards of the caravan instantly removed their disguises and took off their cloaks, revealing their excellent equipment and weapons.
The bandits were very sensitive to the changes in their enemies. As soon as the group of bandits approached, they immediately realized that the situation was not good. The merchants in front of them were not afraid at all. In fact, many of them even had expressions of eagerness in their eyes.
Many of the guards with scars on their faces were excitedly cleaning their weapons. They looked at the robbers as if they were looking at a group of sheep that had been sent to their doorstep.
"Hehe!"
A bald Barbarian warrior carrying a battle axe of more than 50 kilograms rushed up. He was the captain of Suhlen's guards. He shouted excitedly, "Guys, it's time to work!"
"Show them our names! Let them die with some understanding! "
The guards who had removed their disguises quickly cut down the robbers who rushed up and rushed up to the robbers. Behind them, a flag was raised in the caravan. It was the battle flag of Northern Town City.
