A baby dragon has built a nest outside the Novice Village

Chapter 80: Goblin Chamber of Commerce, Honesty

Lannia has been facing a big problem recently. With the undead rampaging, new immigrants dare not leave their settlements, and residents of slightly larger towns only dare to move around the town, within the sight of the soldiers on the city walls.

News about the undead attacks spread among these settlements and towns. Within a few days, these originally normal news gradually turned into bizarre horror stories through word of mouth.

It's not these stories that give Lanya a headache, it's the consequences of these stories that give him a headache.

Fear deterred ordinary people from leaving their protected settlements. Trade was cut off.

"Unfortunately, we don't really have the extra staff to clear these roads."

This is the conclusion reached by many advisers of the Church and Shadow Crow.

They once wanted to withdraw some of the troops on the front line to carry out a thorough cleanup of those small groups of undead in the rear.

But just as they were about to act, the Death Knight, who had been inactive, ordered his legion to launch an attack.

The intensity of the attack was not great. The Death Knight only mobilized a small number of the undead gathered around him, just enough to prevent the troops on the defense line from being easily transferred away.

Now it seems that they have reorganized the caravan and come to their town.

Lei Ming frowned, and the situation on Lanya's side also made him feel urgent.

"Your Highness, there is a caravan outside the city."

"The goblin caravans."

"Too many people have been born and died on this land."

"They were all rejected. Not only that, the troops they deployed on the border also blocked civilian caravans."

It will take some time for the church's reinforcements to arrive, and only when they arrive will it be possible to allocate manpower to clean up the dead who have been resurrected and are wandering around.

"Caravan?"

A servant came running in hurriedly.

He had sent people to purify all the tombs that were recorded with holy water, and those unrecorded tombs were also cleared by those teams by the hundreds.

Lemming muttered under his breath.

"The panic is growing everywhere. Not only is the undead rampaging, but hunger and the loneliness caused by hiding in the house will gradually increase the fear."

"It will take some time for the reinforcements to arrive."

"What the government officials mean is that under the current circumstances, the reserves of most towns and settlements can only last for a week."

"It's just a caravan. Is there any need to rush?"

"What about trade requests to other territories?"

Lannia was a little confused. She had received reports before that several goblin caravans were attacked by the undead and were wiped out. After that, those goblin caravans seemed to have returned to the settlement.

Lannia recently visited the town and several settlements around it. Even though they were not attacked by the undead, the civilians were not in a good condition and were unwilling to leave their reinforced houses.

Such lamentations are of no help to the current situation. There is no doubt that the Death Knight is deliberately spreading terror. Although it is still unclear what his specific purpose is, we cannot let him achieve his goal easily.

But there are still undead spirits emerging from corners.

Those nobles were obviously happy to see the Sun God Cult and Lannia suffer more. Although they could no longer stop the church's actions openly, they would not let go of any opportunity to play tricks behind the scenes.

The attendant swallowed.

"The size of that caravan is a bit too big. I don't know whether I should let them in."

Lania frowned. Those goblins were allies. At this moment, more than half of the soldiers on the front line were goblins. Although most of the goblins were weak, it was these weak goblins that formed the first dam before the undead frenzy.

Numbers themselves are also a kind of strength. The stronger individual strength of the Skitarii and Shadow Crows cannot offset the gap in numbers. If it weren't for the goblins filling this gap, the front line might have to move back hundreds of kilometers.

"They are our allies. They will not be in danger. Let them in."

Anyone who has come into contact with these goblins can see that they are different from the stereotyped goblins and are people with whom one can cooperate and communicate. As long as one does not provoke them, there will be no danger.

There is only one problem with these goblins that bothers the people around them, that is, they are too greedy for money and will use any means to collect money.

Recently, many soldiers on the front line have complained that their salaries are often taken away by these silver-tongued goblin colleagues.

“Perhaps it was influenced by the dragon they worship?”

Lanya withdrew her thoughts and looked at the servant in front of her, who had not yet conveyed her orders.

"It's not what you think. What I'm worried about is the market space in the town. It seems that there is not enough space for them."

"Ok?"

Lania quickly understood what the servant meant.

She was standing on the town's low wall, and saw the huge goblin caravan below. The town's market was indeed unable to accommodate them.

Hundreds of caravans gathered outside the town, and goblin merchants were shouting, trying to attract townspeople to go out of the town to buy supplies.

"Survivor packages are on sale. They include flint, rope, medicine, dried meat, long-lasting black bread, and clean water. Even if the undead break into the town, you can spend a month in the cellar safely. The original price is five gold coins, but the package price is only four gold coins."

Lanya looked at the simple stall in front of the caravan, where some townspeople had gathered. There was a simple slogan written on the caravan.

"The Goblin Chamber of Commerce has fair prices and is honest and trustworthy."

Lania pronounced the name unconsciously.

"Yes, under the guidance of the great master, we formed this brand new business model and passed through the obstacles of the dead and brought the goods here."

Lannia noticed that there were some injured goblins in the caravan. A caravan gathered together could indeed better deal with the risks along the way. The injuries of those goblins were not serious and they could recover after resting for a while.

"Shanjin Village's specialty honey, two large jars for one gold coin."

The caravan also seemed to have done some business with settlements along the way and brought their goods over.

"Please give my thanks to your master."

Lanya could feel that although the strange dragon had returned home temporarily, his gaze seemed to still remain here.

When Lanya and her companions encountered difficulties, he quickly solved the problem with his wisdom and provided Lanya with much-needed support.

Lania was now a little distressed, wondering what price she would have to pay for this support. The dragon would definitely not provide support for free, even for allies, support outside the covenant would have to be paid for.

"Your Highness Lannia, I am here to discuss something else."

"Ok?"

A smile appeared on the old goblin's face.

"For example, an exclusive trade agreement with the Goblin Chamber of Commerce."

Lania looked at the hundreds of caravans outside and realized that it would be difficult to lower the price for the next transaction.
