Chapter 402: Adventurers Recruited

How vulgar it is to spend money. Besides, if you really want that thing, it probably won’t be Xiangpu City’s turn to spend money. However, Xiangpu City has plenty of good things that humans can’t refuse, so just exchange it.

It was just as Feng Yu had thought. The Chamber of Commerce, which had never had the opportunity to obtain special products of Xiangpu City such as telegraph machines, brought five harpies to the curious Xiangpu City in less than two months, and they were all alive.

To this end, Pupu City paid a large number of telegraph machines as a price, which made the Chamber of Commerce that came to trade very satisfied. They used that batch of telegraph machines to start a telegraph business.

In fact, this is also a signal that Cattail City sends to organizations such as human chambers of commerce and large mercenary groups, that is, in addition to official organizations, Cattail City is also willing to do business with human civilian organizations.

This is to enhance the soft power of some humans so that they can better fight against plane wars. After all, plane wars have already appeared in the human world.

The second is to take advantage of the fact that the two major human empires have no time to look around and get more resources from humans through these non-governmental organizations.

The harpy is just a trigger. Cattail City will no longer want the harpy because Cattail City is not prepared to tame these wild and unruly creatures.

However, as for other resources, Pupu City is happy to have as many as possible and will accept all who come.

To this end, Pupu City also hurriedly produced a batch of tread crossbows, and exchanged a piece of land with the two major human empires on the dividing line between the two countries in the middle of their docks. A new dock was built, which was managed by Pupu City and supervised by the two major human empires and was specifically used for trade with human private chambers of commerce.

Although the two rulers of mankind were not very willing to let Cattail City plunder their resources, they also needed Cattail City's special products, so they had to accept it.

However, Pupu City did not go too far and assured the two empires that it would not sell large quantities of weapons, armor and the like to the civilian forces of the two countries.

Cromwell was very happy that Cattail City took the initiative to expand the trade channels and scale with humans and improve relations with humans. However, the old man is now active near the Meteorite Forest to resist the high-level powerful harpies.

Even with Cromwell in charge, the situation in the five cities of the Brocade Empire in the Meteorite Mountains was not very good.

Cromwell doesn't know how to clone himself, and the number of harpies is so large that it makes people feel a little desperate.

Although the terrain and trees of the Meteorite Mountains posed some obstacles to the Harpies, it was precisely because of this terrain and the dense and tall trees that the Harpies flying above the trees were difficult to be detected.

Although quite a few adventurers have gathered, and some are even still heading towards the Meteorite Mountains, the overall situation is getting worse day by day.

Many adventurer teams that have lost members have begun to think about evacuating, but the Brocade Empire has worked so hard to gather them together, so how could it let them leave so easily?

If these adventurers leave, not only will the plan of the Brocade Empire be in vain, but the adventurers will also spread the cruelty of the Harpies to the inner world of the Brocade Empire, which is something that Emperor Brocade will never allow.

Therefore, under the coercion of the regular army, these adventurers who came to the Meteorite Mountains were directly recruited to serve as the city’s defense force, and they were not given the opportunity to move freely.

It was now easier for the adventurers to go up the mountain than to go down, so they could only grit their teeth and fight for their lives with the harpies on the city wall.

At this time, the situation in the Dwarf New City on the western foot of the Snow Summit Mountains was not very good. Although there were no casualties from the attacks of the Harpies due to their weapons, the constant harassment of the Harpies made it difficult for the city's defense forces to cope.

Because the dwarf new city was built in the middle of the mountains, there were not many resources available, nor were there solid shelters on top of the buildings like those in Cattail City. The dwarf warriors had to be extremely careful.

After being tense for a while, the dwarf warriors were all very tired.

For this reason, the Dwarf New City had to migrate its people to Cattail City and Dawn City for the second time to reduce its defense range.

The westernmost of the five new cities built by humans in the Meteorite Mountains. Because there are not many resources here and not much land that can be developed, not many nobles are willing to "invest" in this city, so the scale of this city is also the smallest.

Moreover, the road here is relatively far and more difficult to travel, so not many adventurers come here. Only a few adventurers who are not doing well in other cities are willing to come here.

There were not many regular warriors, and not many adventurers to recruit, making the defense of this settlement, which could hardly be called a city, extremely difficult.

The city lord here is a noble whose family has fallen on hard times. He got the position of city lord with the help of the prince he had taken refuge with.

He had originally planned to make a fortune in the land reclamation boom, to revitalize his family and at the same time reward the prince who had helped him. However, he did not expect that before the city was built and various resources were developed, he would be confronted by the swarm of harpies.

The harpies' sharp fangs have caused a lot of suffering to adventurers who make a living near the city, as well as pioneers who followed the city lord. Casualties occur every day.

"This is not a solution. Sooner or later, these monsters will rush over us when we are exhausted and tear us into pieces for food."

In the city lord's wooden house, one of the small nobles who came with the city lord to make a fortune together expressed the concerns of everyone.

The city lord sighed and said, “Alas, we all understand the laws of the empire, and our emperor obviously regards us as the first line of defense against these monsters.

If we abandon the city and flee, the Empire will not let us go."

Another noble said, "Doesn't that mean we'll all die sooner or later? But that's better than dying at the hands of these monsters, right?!"

What the young noble didn't say was that the city lord cannot escape, but they, the nobles, are not the city lords.

It cost a lot to choose this place as the residence of my family. If I run away, I will lose everything, but it is better than dying here.

Several petty nobles exchanged glances in private and fell silent.

The city lord was shocked when he saw the atmosphere at the scene. He had already guessed what these little nobles were thinking.

However, these nobles came here for speculation, and he could not stop them from escaping. After all, the empire stipulated that he could recruit adventurers, but these nobles were not within the scope of the regulations.

As expected, after coming out of the city lord's simple wooden house, which could not even be called a city lord's mansion, several small nobles turned a few corners and gathered together again.

Harpies bully the weak and fear the strong, so it would be very dangerous for them to escape alone with their families, so the best option is to unite all forces that can be united and escape together.
