Chapter 105 Purchase of Iron-Horned Horse

For ordinary professionals, the first-level iron-horned horse is also a very precious mount. Even the inferior horses are Warcraft horses, which can use bloodline spells and have much better strength and speed than any thousand-mile horse.

If you ride a Warcraft horse in the war, it will be of great help to the junior professionals.

Richard rode the iron-horned horse and made great contributions.

But for the Harland family who are interested in opening a horse farm, this batch of iron-horned horses is not very valuable.

Letting inferior horses breed is actually polluting the genes of iron-horned horses.

To be honest, Richard was very disappointed when he saw this group of iron-horned horses.

But he knew in his heart that it was good to have Warcraft horses released.

Even if he went to the capital, the third-level horse king has never been in demand. The second-level mares also have to be kept for breeding and cannot be bought at all.

Even if the second-level stallions are also very rare, the ones that can be put on the market are all inferior horses or defective products.

The price of more than a dozen stallions is not high, only 55 gold coins per horse, which is cheaper than the normal market price.

On the contrary, the price of four mares is not cheap, 80 gold coins per horse, the same as the market price.

Although the price is not cheap, Richard quickly made up his mind to buy some iron-horned horses to expand the population.

After buying salt, there are still 600 gold coins in the caravan.

Richard is going to take all four mares away, and the remaining gold coins can buy five stallions.

Buying nine iron-horned horses at one time is considered a big customer for Lady Sera.

The great nobles have their own Warcraft breeding farms and look down on inferior goods.

The small nobles are simply unable to form a Warcraft cavalry regiment, and they often go to the capital to select a batch of good horses when they buy horses.

Those who come to Duke Jonathan to buy Warcraft horses are basically professional mercenaries and Warcraft hunters who are doing well.

The dozen inferior horses eliminated by Duke Jonathan's Warcraft Breeding Center every year often need to be sold for more than a year, and sometimes they will be delayed until the next year.

Such a long time requires professional care, which consumes costs.

A professional's monthly salary is at least two or three gold coins.

If you are proficient in raising and training horses, your salary will double.

Fodder also needs to be carefully selected and costs money.

Richard bought nine iron-horned horses at one time, and Mrs. Sera was very happy. She also gave a batch of horse equipment and let Richard take some of the fodder.

Before leaving, Mrs. Sera specifically reminded Richard to be careful on the road.

It was very smooth when we came here, which made Richard a little careless.

But Mrs. Sera's special reminder immediately made Richard nervous.

Richard knew that unless the nobles were close, they basically didn't say extra words.

Especially for a great noble like Mrs. Sera, she might have received some secret information when she reminded him.

But she didn't say it directly, and the relationship between the two parties was very ordinary, and their status was very different, so Richard couldn't ask politely.

After the transaction was completed, Richard took the caravan to rest for a day, and left the city of East early the next morning with the goods on his shoulders.

Although the goods carried on the return trip were the same weight, everyone felt a little more relaxed with nine more iron-horned horses carrying the goods.

In the Duke of Jonathan's territory, the caravan did not encounter any accidents.

Just after entering the province of Rah, they were told at the ferry that the provincial governor had requisitioned transport ships to undertake the task of grain transportation, and there would be no ferries in the short term.

The low-level officials at the ferry were not sure when the shipping would be resumed.

Although they were very friendly, they also clearly told Richard that the ships would not come.

There was an accident when returning to the city, and with the reminder from Lady Sera, Richard's heart tightened immediately.

"Could it be that someone really dared to attack us?"

Because of the suspicion, Richard was more cautious along the way.

There was a town near the ferry, which was a territory directly under the royal family.

Richard bought some carriages from the town and put them on iron-horned horses.

Then he bought 5,000 kilograms of grain and marched carefully along the roads on both sides of the Black River.

Every night, he would personally set up sentries, patrol the camp at night, and dig trenches with the soldiers after dinner in the evening, cut down trees and arrange antlers to prevent people from sneaking into the camp at night.

Richard and Soros would be on duty late at night and personally check the sentries. There were not only open and hidden sentries in the camp, but also mobile sentries. The marching speed was slowed down to 20 kilometers every day to ensure that there would be no loopholes.

Adopting the turtle flow tactic, they walked along the Black River for six days, and most of the food had been consumed. They still had to walk 30 kilometers to the next city.

This section of the road was uninhabited and had not been developed. The roads were not repaired and they still had to cross mountains and ridges.

After entering the wilderness, Richard's requirements became more stringent, and he kept sending out scouts to make sure there were no ambushes before passing.

When they encountered a dangerous canyon, even if they were sure there were no ambushes, Richard still asked the soldiers of the sixth squadron to wear armor and did not dare to relax at all.

After walking for another day, they had just crossed a mountain and were about to rest.

A group of mercenaries rushed up from a distance. Richard looked up and found that there were about 300 people.

This group of mercenaries was well-equipped. Most soldiers wore leather armor, and the backbone mercenaries wore iron armor. They cooperated very skillfully. They should be from a mercenary group.

This large mercenary group is very rare in the Grant Kingdom.

Although there was no flag, Richard already knew that the person behind them was the provincial governor Jerram.

Seeing this scene, Richard never expected that Jerram would be so vicious.

He just didn't want to be exploited, and bypassed the channels controlled by Jerram, but Jerram was going to hire mercenaries to kill people.

Richard sneered, secretly angry in his heart, and immediately took off the enchanted bow behind him.

There were five professionals in the caravan, in addition to Richard, there were his uncle Soros, the captain of the sixth squadron Norman, the deputy captain Kent, and the deputy captain Robin.

After killing the wyvern, Sofia used the brain and internal organs of the wyvern to refine a batch of Tenghui potions.

After this batch of potions was distributed, four more professionals in the territory, including Robin.

Robin was not an old mercenary under Soros. He was an ordinary slave who was bought by Richard and came to Harland.

In the army, he learned the breathing method, advanced to a professional, and became an upper-middle class in Harland.

With this experience, he was very loyal to the territory.

It was Richard who saved his life, and it was also Harland that changed his fate.

Robin fought hard in every battle. Only by making military achievements could he stand out from the soldiers, buy potions to become a professional, become a superior person, and change the fate of himself and his family.

The five professionals all had enchanted bows and were very good at archery.

Even if they were not within the range of conventional bows and arrows, they would kill the opponent as long as they pulled the bowstring.
