After leaving the church of the Vulcan Church, Tang En strolled along the streets of Bul-Kathos, receiving the curious stares of the Orcs while looking at the city.
Bul-Kathos was as different from Ellington as Ellington was from Alinx a year ago. This city had preserved a relatively complete Orc culture — in other words, it was rugged and backward.
There were casually built houses everywhere, so the division of the streets was quite messy. Walking along a road, one would find that one would end up back at the starting point. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a maze.
At the same time, due to the continuous decline in domestic food production, the population had not yet returned to normal. As a result, the commercial trade in Bul-Kathos was completely lifeless. The merchants who came from the human countries were the only catalysts in the market.
The goods they brought were very popular and would often be sold at a very satisfactory price in a very short time. Then, they would get a large number of specialties from the Ryan Empire and hurriedly return to the human countries.
Many Chambers of Commerce knew that this trade route was very profitable. There were no goods that could not be sold in the Ryan Empire. Although there was a shortage of food and clothing, there was no shortage of gold coins.
Unfortunately, due to the Ryan Empire's vigilance against humans, there were only a few human Chambers of Commerce that obtained the permission to trade with the Ryan Empire. In addition, the trade route to Bul-Kathos was too long. It would take months to half a year to go back and forth. If one encountered bandits or magical beasts on the way, one could easily go bankrupt. The risk was quite high. Therefore, although many people knew that there was an empty market here, they could only look at it helplessly.
When he noticed that the merchants exchanged some cheap goods from the human countries for a considerable amount of gold coins, Tang En sensitively sensed the huge problem here.
The poverty in the Ryan Empire referred to the lack of manpower and food, not wealth. After all, gold coins could not be eaten.
In the past ten thousand years of history, the Orcs and humans in the Ryan Empire had been fighting for thousands of years. They kept plundering the wealth of the human countries but did not trade. The gold coins had been piled up in the Ryan Empire for a long time. But now, due to the Second War of Chaos, the population of the Ryan Empire had plummeted, and there were even fewer people engaged in production. The Orcs had too much money in their hands. The gross domestic product here could not meet the demand of trade at all, which led to inflation.
And the merchants from the human countries became the main window for the currency to circulate.
Traveling merchants brought a large amount of goods from the human countries. When the originally cheap goods arrived here, they immediately transformed into good goods that were in high demand.
What did this mean?
This meant that with Ellington's production capacity, any product produced could be sold here!
What was most needed here were not heavy industrial products, but light industrial products that were closely related to the national economy, such as textiles and daily necessities. If such low-cost light industrial products appeared here, it would probably completely destroy the fragile labor system of the Ryan Empire.
To Tang En, this was just a matter of raising his hand.
Don't forget, he had an exclusive teleportation array technology. The most time-consuming, ultra-long-distance transportation of goods could be completed in a flash, and the risks and costs were reduced to the minimum. If he used such a powerful advantage to compete with those merchants, they would cry bitterly.
However …
Tang En rubbed his chin and muttered to himself. Using economic advantages to indirectly control this country, compared to using blood to conquer this place, was it not more like a civilized person's approach?
He had already decided on the economic invasion of the Ronitan Empire. Now, perhaps he could add the name of the Ryan Empire to the list of plans.
He just did not know whether they would silently accept the invasion of human culture in the end, or completely turn against him …
"Buzz buzz buzz —"
At this moment, the magical cell phone in his pocket vibrated. He took it out and saw that it was Angus.
"Hello? Is it done? "
"Yes, it's done. Although there was a little trouble, it's been solved thanks to an annoying guy. (Background sound: … What are you doing? Stop wasting time!) … Shut up! "
“？”
"Uh, I'm not talking about you. I'm telling this guy next to me to shut up."
Angus paused for a moment, and soon his voice came again. "Phew, the Silence spell is indeed more convenient … Ah, yes, we've bought a house. Where are you? I'll come and pick you up. "
Tang En looked around and told Angus about a landmark building. In just a moment, Angus arrived wrapped in a gust of wind, and then brought Tang En back to the house they bought.
"The location of this house is quite good in Bul-Kathos. In Alinx, it's equivalent to the aristocratic royal district. Next to it is Testero Bloodeye's' palace '."
Tang En looked at the rough courtyard in front of him and sighed. "Forget it, I'll change the appearance later … According to what you said, why would anyone be willing to sell such a good place?"
Angus said a little awkwardly, "That's why I said I found a troublesome guy … and there was an accident …"
"Boom!"
There was a sudden muffled sound in the backyard, and then a figure flew out. Tang En took a closer look and saw that it was Mongol Kahn.
Mongol Kahn, who had a death grip on his battle axe, drew a long gully on the ground. He gritted his teeth and said, "Old man, your strength is not good enough! Take another blow from my axe! "
Mongol Kahn stomped his feet and rushed back into the backyard with a roar. Then, there was the sound of banging and cheering.
Tang En looked at the messy courtyard in silence. "… What's going on?"
"That's why —"
Angus was about to say something when another figure flew out. This time, it was Khal.
"Boss!"
Khal landed on the ground with a somersault, and the ground under his feet instantly exploded. The explosive force pushed him back into the backyard.
Tang En: "…"
Angus spread his hands. "That's why —"
"Boom!"
Ursa fell from the sky and smashed into Tang En.
After the berserk Ursa landed, he panted and looked around. When he did not find his target, he roared at the sky and disappeared.
Tang En: "…"
"… Troublesome guy …"
"Is he going to tear down the new house and rebuild it …"
Tang En did not even bother to complain. He pulled Angus and flew directly to the house. The situation in the backyard could be seen clearly.
The Phoenix mercenary group led by Khal had surrounded the courtyard. In the middle of the courtyard, Mongo, Kahn, Ursa, and Khal were fighting a very strong orc. The orc did not use any weapons, but he was able to beat the three of them up with just his fists. They were at a complete disadvantage.
Tang En narrowed his eyes. He was not in a hurry to attack. He was not stupid. This was obviously a spar, and it was with a super strong orc. This kind of opportunity was rare. If Khal and the others were diligent enough, they could gain a lot of benefits.
"That's the troublesome guy you were talking about?"
"Yes, Sharp Tooth Bloodbeard. He's the orc hero known as Bloody Battle Axe."
Angus sighed and said, "Basically, we don't want to see him. Once we see him, he has no other thoughts except to fight."
"A real battle maniac, huh?"
Tang En sized up Razortooth, Bloodmane, Bloody Battle Axe. As a legendary hero, Razortooth's height was considered quite burly among the Orcs. His exposed upper body had large muscles. Perhaps in the eyes of the Orc women, this kind of wild male was the kind of handsome man they admired the most.
At this moment, Tang En did not see his famous weapon, but the fighting skills displayed by his iron fists were already very impressive.
Although Khal only had extraordinary strength now, he had been immersed in swordsmanship for many years. He was not a nobody. However, Sharp Tooth was always able to find the critical flaw and force Khal to give up on his moves and choose to defend. Not only that, while he was giving pointers to Khal, he still had the strength to deal with the combined forces of Mongol Kahn and Ursa.
It was no wonder that the orcs were so excited to fight one against three. It was impossible to see a fight of this level on a normal day.
"As expected of a legendary champion!"
"Leader can't last more than ten moves in his hands. Oh no, he flew out again!"
"Leader looks so weak when he's fighting with him."
"That's just an illusion. If you were fighting with Leader, you would have been killed instantly."
The words of the others did not affect Khal's mood. He returned to the battlefield from afar, his face full of excitement. How many people dreamed of being able to put down their worries and fight with a champion like Sharp Tooth? As the two sides fought, his strength was rapidly increasing. After being promoted to extraordinary by the treasure, the power that he could not control was rapidly being absorbed by him.
Khal, who was in the middle of a fierce battle, really wanted this battle to continue.
Unfortunately, such a good thing would not always happen as he wished.
"Alright, it's too boring to fight with you guys. Go down."
Sharp Tooth suddenly yawned and threw the three of them out one by one.
As an extraordinary expert, it was very humiliating to be thrown out like a child. However, Khal did not feel that at all. Instead, he excitedly expressed his gratitude to Sharp Tooth. "Thank you for your guidance, Master Sharp Tooth!"
Sharp Tooth bared his teeth and said, "Hmph, you're much more polite than some brats."
"Hey, old man, who are you talking about!"
Mongo Kahn roared. "I'm not convinced! Let's fight again! "
Sharp Tooth said disdainfully, "You're too young to beat me. If you don't listen to me obediently, you'll never beat me in this lifetime."
Tang En frowned and said, "This guy is quite proud."
Angus said with a strange expression, "He's not proud. He's educating his child."
Tang En was stunned. "Educating his child?"
Angus smiled bitterly. "I just found out that Mongo Kahn is his son."
Pfft!
Tang En was stunned. "What?"
