Volume 4: Following the Dragon and Slaying the Dragon Chapter 41 Mine News
Taoist Wild Dog did what he said, and soon news came one after another.
There is indeed a mine near Xiye Mountain, but the mine is located in a valley below a river. Apart from the river, there is only a small path to enter and exit.
The valley was not small, and there were about a thousand people in it.
Among them were more than a hundred guards, more than twenty logistics personnel, twenty supervisors, and the rest were all slave laborers.
All these slave laborers were refugees captured from nearby areas, and on the surface they were already considered dead.
The slave laborers here are just tools. The longest they can live is only five years. No slave laborer has ever left the mine alive.
Even the guards and logistics personnel are the same. Only one ship enters the valley every month, bringing in some supplies and transporting out the iron ore you placed here.
However, on the path leading in and out of the valley, there was a special corpse-carrying team, responsible for carrying the bodies of the dead slaves in the valley out and throwing them into the mass grave.
The reason they did this was not because they were kind-hearted, but because the valley was too small. If the bodies were not thrown into a mass grave but into the mine, it would not take long for the mine to be haunted, affecting the speed of mining.
As for the slave laborers sent in, they would never take this path. They were sent in by boat.
It can be said that the slave laborers only thought that there was a water route, and they would not have thought that there was also a small path that could be used to transport the corpses out.
But it was this path that was discovered by the Wild Dog Taoist.
At the same time, Taoist Wild Dog also discovered something, that is, the mine in front of him was an iron mine on the surface, but there should be other mines inside the mine, and there was an inconspicuous gold mine hidden underneath.
However, this matter was not reported to the higher authorities. Instead, the people guarding the mine divided the output of the gold mine.
Looking at the report submitted by the Wild Dog Taoist, Wang Liang nodded. It can be seen that what the Wild Dog Taoist said before was quite solid. At least from his handwriting, it can be seen that his original master had some skills.
"Well done. Have you found out who is behind this mine?"
"I found out that it was the Xiao family from Siming County."
"It's their family, then it's okay, they are the ones being beaten."
When Wang Liang heard about the Xiao family of Siming County, he no longer had any concerns in his heart. If it were other forces, he would still have to worry about them, but he didn't have to worry about the Xiao family because they had already become enemies.
Thinking of this, Wang Liang quickly calculated the troops under his command.
If we only need to defeat the guards of more than a hundred people this time, it is actually quite simple. The most important thing is whether the mountain road is easy to navigate.
Therefore, it is necessary to have troops that can fight in the mountains and forests. In addition, in order to prevent people from escaping into the mines, a team that can attack the mines is needed.
The last point is what is the point of Wang Liang taking over this mine, should he just grab it and leave, or should he swallow up this mine.
If Wang Liang wanted to swallow up the mine, he would need a large number of miners, and finally guards to defend it, which would be equivalent to adding an extra burden to himself.
But if he didn't want the mine, could Wang Liang just take those slave laborers?
What's the point of doing this?
Wang Liang was a little unsure for a moment.
However, one thing is certain, the mine is quite far away from Wang Liang and there is no way to move it to Wang Liang’s main residence.
The Wild Dog Taoist had no idea what Wang Liang was thinking at the moment. He was jumping up and down excitedly holding the tiger-skin brocade apron that Wang Liang had given him. With this thing, their Wild Dog clan would have a stable job.
Finally, Wang Liangcai said, "Pass the order down, tell Xiao Hui to get ready and take his velociraptor troops with him. Also, send one thousand yellow sheep to help transport the iron ore After we take over the mine, we won't need the mine caves, but will transport all the ore away.
Take all the people away. Wild Dog Taoist , you will be responsible for leading the team and cleaning up the traces behind. "
The Wild Dog Taoist nodded repeatedly at Wang Liang's arrangement. Hiding traces and long-distance tracking were their specialties, otherwise it would be impossible for more than 300 wild dogs to survive in such a small mass grave.
The Wild Dog Taoist has already made a plan. When he returns, he will gather the team.
All of the more than 300 wild dogs must be utilized.
Some of those wild dogs are his descendants, and some are raised by him. He knows all their abilities.
He would separate a hundred of them and train them into a fairy army, specializing in reconnaissance and tracking, and separate a hundred of them to follow him in practicing Taoism and living in a mass grave. How could they not know some methods of dealing with ghosts?
The last hundred or so will be used to develop a tribe and grow up with the puppies. It won’t be long before their wild dog pack becomes a large tribe, and then Wang Liang will be even more dependent on their help.
While the Wild Dog Taoist was thinking excitedly, Xiao Hui had already returned with the Velociraptor soldiers.
This time he did not bring out all of his Velociraptor soldiers.
He only brought 112 velociraptor soldiers, and according to the velociraptors' three-one-three fighting style, that's exactly sixteen teams.
It can also be seen from the weapons in their hands that although they all carry a full set of weapons, they have obviously divided their focuses.
Some of them replaced their long swords with short swords, making their moves suitable for jungle assassinations, and some even took up bows and arrows.
As for long weapons, only two people in each team were still using them, one using a spear and the other using a Mo Dao.
At the same time, their armor was also changed.
They were wearing leather armor before, but after a great battle, Xiao Hui realized that it was a waste for them to use leather armor. They had scales on their bodies, and the lighter rattan armor or paper armor was more suitable for them.
This is what they are wearing now. It can protect them from collisions and arrows without affecting their charging speed.
It can be seen that after coming back, Xiao Hui was dedicated to studying and dealing with matters concerning the Velociraptors.
Just by changing their weapons and equipment, their combat effectiveness increased by at least 30%.
After bringing his men over, Xiao Hui also put on a robe and stood aside. Looking at him, Wild Dog Taoist felt sweat all over, as if he had encountered some natural enemy.
Taking another look at the equipment on the Velociraptor, Wild Dog Taoist felt like the sky was falling and his dream was completely over.
With such a powerful army, Wang Liang would definitely not place their wild dog tribe in an important position.
When the Wild Dog Taoist was worried and anxious, Xiao Hui walked up to him and patted him from above.
"Just lead the way, and don't get involved in the battle that's about to happen."
