Chapter 8 Discovering an Iron Mine?
Chapter 8 Discovering an Iron Mine?
Just as the Elfin witch bladers rushed forward and swarmed the Orc tribe like a flood, this small fight came to an end.
It was the rivalry between races.
It was the rivalry between camps.
Most would not leave any enemies alive, no matter if they were old or young, no matter if they were male or female. As long as they were furry Orcs, or baby Orcs with sharp teeth, they would all have to be buried today.
Unless… they could make use of the Orcs and make them their slaves.
Of course.
There was once a very capable Orc hero that once made it known that Orcs would never become slaves; he started a new war between the humans and Orcs.
However, it was more or less useless. These Orcs weren't that strong mentally. With their low intelligence, being starved for a few days and whipped a little, they would all become obedient slaves.
They would say that Orcs will never become slaves. However, if someone fed and housed them, it would be another matter.
Although, there were some who would never surrender no matter what.
These Orcs were killed without a care, then their heads were hung in front of the other Orcs' houses. This would make the entire world cleaner.
Although they became slaves, they would still resist from time to time.
However, most of the Orc slaves were usually miners…
If not, they would participate in the fighting arenas for the nobilities to get excited by the bloody scenes.
It was very hard to see a large-scale Orc rebellion that caused havoc in a human country.
Something like this had happened before and the humans remembered it.
It was the same man who declared that the Orcs would never become slaves…
However, since William hadn't found the mine, for now, he was too lazy to keep any Orcs to do the mining either. He would rather let his soldiers become satisfied by killing everyone in the tribe and gain some plus points from them at the same time.
William Blackleaf jumped down from a tree branch. Lautner saw him and stopped clearing corpses on the battlefield. He walked over with a smile instead. "The results seem quite good. We don't have any casualties, with only a few rangers superficially grazed by some of the arrows."
"That's good. Did we find anything?"
Lautner pointed at the Orc corpses. "Do you see those Orcs? I'm actually quite surprised to see them have simple metal armor.
"Especially that leader. I actually got an iron armor weighing 40 kilograms from him, but I don't feel tired at all. They must have found an iron mine. You need to know, our warriors took their good equipment from the Blackleaf Elfin Kingdom.
"The iron mines around the town had been depleted or even sold to the human nations. Not to mention that when some of our soldiers ran out, they took some equipment from our vaults.
"Then, that's really good news! Are there other things?" William looked around him and Norton walked out of a tall tent with a bright smile.
He raised the black but sparkling thing in his hand, shouting, "My Lord, there's pure iron ore! There is pure iron ore used to make this exquisite blue armor! There must be an iron mine nearby. There's also a treasure box with 130 gold coins, more than 500 silver coins, and more than 3000 copper coins."
"That's good." William narrowed his eyes and nodded. Now that they had found an iron mine and cash, their financial crisis had come to a temporary end.
[Mission: The danger near your territory: Clean the Orc tribe, the first task is accomplished!]
[Reward: 5000 experience points]
[Rewards: A middle-sized iron mine near the Orc tribe.]
Instantly, William rose to the ninth level, receiving 4 free attribute points and one skill point. Of course, he was going to keep all of them now. Besides, he wasn't too far from the tenth level, since he had personally killed so many Orcs earlier.
