Seeing Suhlen's clothes, the surrounding slave traders all came forward to introduce him. However, Suhlen had no interest in these low-level slaves. If he used these people as territorial guards, even a group of goblins and kobolds would be able to defeat them.
After sending these slave traders away, Suhlen walked deeper into the slave market. Naturally, the slave market didn't only have such low-level slaves. Inside the market, the environment was much better. At least there were no dirty excrements on the road.
The slaves here looked clean and tidy, and the slave traders weren't as enthusiastic as before. They would only answer when asked. The slaves here were all trained and could be bought to work. The price was around three Kinnar.
If Suhlen wanted to buy slaves for farming, these were the best choices.
In addition to these slaves, there were also some who were proficient in a skill. These artisan slaves were more expensive, ranging from five Kinnar to fifty Kinnar. In the tents behind the slave traders were the most popular female slaves in the market. Suhlen went in to take a look.
The scene inside gave him the feeling of a Japanese movie from his previous life. It was all white and only covered the important parts. The prices ranged from five Kinnar to two hundred Kinnar. As for elven slaves, there were basically none. Ever since the Jadeite Forest was closed, no elves had appeared on the continent for a long time.
Suhlen used his strong willpower to get himself out of the tent. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he wouldn't be able to resist the urge to buy a few 200 Kinnar slaves. He forced himself not to look back. Suhlen went to the special slaves next to him. The slaves here were all demi-humans.
For example, the Northern Barbarians, Centaurs, Orcs, and so on. Suhlen's target was the Northern Barbarians. The Northern Barbarians were not a race, but a collective name for the Northern Barbarians. There were many tribes living in the Northern Wilderness. These tribes were backward and barbaric.
The Northern Barbarians included the Alpine Barbarians, the Barbarians, the Icefield Barbarians, and so on. These Barbarians looked similar to humans. They were tall and were generally 1.8 meters tall. Some of them were over two meters tall.
Some barbarians could become elite warriors through systematic training. The nobles of the northern provinces had more or less barbarian soldiers. One shouldn't think that these soldiers were unreliable. In fact, the loyalty of these barbarian soldiers wasn't bad. This was because the barbarians were divided into tribes. Therefore, in the eyes of these barbarians, other than their own tribe, all other tribes were enemies.
There was no hesitation when it came to killing people from other tribes.
The lowest price for a well-trained barbarian soldier was 35 Kinnar. The cruel environment had given these barbarians a strong physique. If one didn't take into account the weapons, equipment, and numbers into consideration, ordinary people were no match for these barbarians.
"A barbarian soldier would need at least 35 Kinnar. Including the weapons and equipment, a set of qualified barbarian soldier would cost about 150 Kinnar. Even if I went bankrupt, I would only be able to equip 30 elites." Suhlen said with a frown. He only had a little more than five thousand gold coins left. He kept some to buy other things, and the rest was to buy slaves.
30 elite soldiers. It would be a pipe dream if they wanted to open up a new territory. Unless these elite soldiers were all at the Knight level. Knights only needed to be loyal to a big noble to get a manor and noble status. They wouldn't want to open up a new territory with you.
As for the remaining Kinnar, Suhlen was going to buy food and equipment for opening up a new territory. In addition to these barbarians, there were also beastmen in the slave market. The most popular ones were the Cat and Fox races. One had to know that the females of these two races were very beautiful. Moreover, those furry ears and tails were more attractive to some people.
Suhlen's wish was to buy a Cat Maid and a Fox Tail Maid. However, after considering the issue of territory, he could only reluctantly give up.
Just when Suhlen was thinking about which kind of slaves to buy, he suddenly saw a group of strange slaves on the side of the road. The other slaves were either strong or skilled. However, these slaves in front of him were interesting. They were all young and old. At a glance, he could tell that these slaves had families to feed.
Under normal circumstances, there weren't many slaves with families. This was because these kinds of slaves were not easy to sell. Many people bought slaves because the cost of slaves was low and they could make money for them. However, slaves with families were not cost-effective. If there was labor, it would be fine. If there was no labor, the slave would be a burden to the buyer. It might even be a loss.
Of course, it wasn't that slaves with families were not popular. For example, some craftsmen with special skills would buy these slaves along with their families in order to make them work hard.
However, these slaves in front of him were not craftsmen. They were a group of barbarians. Barbarians were also a kind of barbarian. Most of them were about two meters tall. They were strong and were excellent warriors. Moreover, these barbarians had a special profession – Berserker.
Berserkers had the berserk skill. After berserk, a berserker was a killing machine on the battlefield. However, berserkers had a well-known shortcoming. After berserk, they had no discipline at all. They only had one thought – Recklessness.
This was a disaster for human armies that emphasized discipline. There were once people who coveted the strength of berserkers and incorporated them into the army. As a result, these guys completely ignored their camp after berserk and charged forward. The enemy's formation was messed up by them.
As a result, the enemy's general seized the opportunity and sent cavalry to bypass these berserkers and directly attack the enemy. When the marshal was captured, the berserkers were still charging forward.
Therefore, from then on, berserkers were rejected from joining the army. Even if they joined, they would be in the cannon fodder camp or the kamikaze camp. These soldiers were used to carry out the charge or cover the rear. Basically, there were no lives in the army. They didn't need to do anything else.
It was also because of this that powerful barbarian slaves like berserkers were a little embarrassed. As one-time consumables, they were too expensive.
This group of barbarians in front of him was even more so. In addition to the warriors, there were also many old people and children. This made this group of barbarians very unpopular.
Although these berserkers couldn't participate in army battles, they were very suitable for small scale battles. Suhlen's territory was also very suitable. In any case, the tribes in the wilderness also had no discipline. Both sides were at the same level. No one was worse than the other. At this time, it depended on personal strength.
These barbarian berserkers weren't afraid of anyone in a battle of the wilderness.
There was another more important reason, and that was that these berserkers were very cheap. This was the main reason.
