It appeared that both sides benefited from the transaction and he as the intermediary emerged as a victor as well.

This sense of joy was no less significant than the acquisition of precious blueprints.

Fonhow arrived at the merchant alliance building where Duo Gene still stood at the counter.

The other skeletal merchants had been dispatched by Duo Gene to various territories to sell goods.

My lord Duo Gene greeted as Fong Ho entered.

Hm.

Duo Gene, do we have any new orders, particularly for the trolls? Fong Hao inquired, taking a seat at the counter.

Indeed, Duo Gene replied, turning to open the mailbox behind him and retrieving an order.

Designated order requirements: 1,000 sets of troll heavy armor, 1,000 troll iron helmets, 1,000 troll battle boots, 3,000 pickaxes.

Transaction rewards 51000 warfire coins, troll influence 10.

It seemed the trolls placed considerable value on the pickaxes as the armor was ordered in sets of 1,000 while the quantity of pickaxes reached 3,000.

Duo Gene, once I accept this order, how will the goods be delivered? The address isn't specified, Fongo remarked.

If an address were provided, he could arrange for someone to ride a skeletal dragon to deliver the items.

However, without an address, how could the delivery be executed? My lord, you needn't worry about that.

The order itself serves as the target address.

I will arrange for merchants to utilize their arrival ability to deliver the goods.

Duog gene assured.

Oh, so the order combined with the skeletal merchants arrival capability functions like a fixed point teleportation scroll, allowing items to be sent directly to the recipients territory.

This is indeed more convenient than express delivery, Funghow mused.

Very well.

Arrange for someone to accompany me to the warehouse.

We shall deliver the crafted equipment to the trolls.

Understood, my lord.

As Fonggha departed from a merchant alliance stone building, a skeletal merchant followed closely behind.

At the goods warehouse adjacent to the stone building, Fong Hao commenced the production of the required items for the trolls.

Troll heavy armor, eight iron plates, three cast iron blocks, five thick tough leather, troll iron helmet triggered by a 100fold amplification.

Fongghao crafted 1,0 sets of troll heavy armor, iron helmets, and battle boots, as well as 3,030 pickaxes.

He summoned several skeletal soldiers to organize the equipment.

Here is the order for you, he said, handing it to the skeletal merchant who accompanied him.

The rest is up to you.

Understood, my lord.

The skeletal merchant accepted the order and amidst a burst of light, vanished with a prepared equipment.

Seated on a nearby chair, Su Yang sent another private message.

Wow, your merchants are skeletons.

That's impressive.

It seems my skeletal merchants have arrived at the recipients territory.

Indeed, how do the trolls find goods? Fonha responded, "Satisfied? I am in the process of counting your money.

Indeed, satisfaction is paramount.

By the way, you have contributed significantly this time.

Do you require anything? I could provide you with some weaponry and equipment.

Do let me know what you need.

This transaction has enabled Fong how to earn a staggering 510 000 battle coins in one fell swoop.

Su Yang played an indispensable role in this endeavor.

With such a considerable sum acquired, it would be unjust for Su Yong to toil without reward.

While battle coins cannot be exchanged as items within the channel, alternative assistance could be offered, such as weaponry and equipment.

Ah, that one TB necessary.

I merely facilitated an introduction, Su Yang replied.

What type of troops do you need? Would you prefer spears or iron swords? Fong Hao inquired directly.

Well, I have no soldiers in my territory, only a multitude of farmers.

Su Yang, being affiliated with the trolls, is forbidden from recruiting any combat units, even the most basic militia.

His role consists of leading the farmers to extract essential resources for the trolls, placing him in a position akin to that of a slave overseer, where his labor secures his right to exist.

Such an unequal dependency is destined to invite complications.

However, for Su Yang, no better alternatives are available.

After all, having missed the optimal opportunity for development, he can only strive to maintain the status quo.

Then I shall provide you with some mining tools.

Please accept them when the time comes," Fong House stated plainly.

He promptly listed Hansaw's X1000 and Iron Picks X1000 in the designated trading section of the Lord's book as a reward for Su Yang<unk>s participation in this connection.

Thank you, esteemed one.

This time, Su Yang did not refuse and exchanged a few units of timber to complete the transaction.

Chapter 151.

The fox made in the conversation was abruptly terminated.

The skeleton tasked with delivering goods to the troll territory returned once more.

At its feet lay several wooden crates filled to the brim with warfire coins.

Despite the volatile temperament of the trolls, they adhere to the rules set forth by the merchant alliance.

Meord, the total transaction amount this time is 51000 warfire coins.

The merchant alliance will deduct a two tax, leaving you with 499 800 warfire coins, reported the skeletal merchant.

Goodness, this merchant alliance is quite something.

They've taken a whole 1000 warfire coins in taxes.

This is far more efficient than robbery, the lord exclaimed.

Indeed, your efforts are appreciated.

Kindly arrange for the delivery to the lord's manor.

My maid IR will instruct you on where to place them.

Understood, my lord.

The skeletal merchant, accompanied by his crew, carried the heavy crates toward the manor.

The structure of the merchant alliance resembled that of a previous e-commerce platform, seamlessly connecting all points of origin for rapid transactions.

In this chaotic world, the establishment of such a merchant alliance platform was nothing short of genius.

Having concluded the order related matters, Fong Hao gained a comprehensive understanding of the merchant allianc's functions, he began to peruse the blueprints he had just acquired.

Blueprint for ironclaw rat nest, green.

Blueprint for black iron kite shield, blue.

Blueprint for high-speed hardwood shoreb, blue.

Blueprint for black iron warp spear, green.

Blueprint for apprentice mage robe, green.

These blueprints were meticulously selected from a plethora of items chosen for their utility and the sufficiency of their required materials.

As for the other blueprints and items, he could procure them as the need arose.

Blueprint for ironclaw rat nest greenwood 100 thatch 1100 trace of the forest 3.

He selected a vacant area for construction.

A green light illuminated the space and a structure resembling an animal's den materialized before him.

Ironclaw rat nest type.

Special building recruitable.

Ironclaw rat.

Ironclaw rat.

Miss Crystal 1.

Description.

This building allows for the recruitment of ironclaw rats whose sharp forklaws can break through soil and stone.

Lo and behold, new recruitment materials had emerged.

When he purchased this blueprint, it was with the expectation of sufficient building materials, but he had not foreseen the introduction of a new recruitment requirement.

Mist crystal.

While recruitment might be unattainable at present, the description provided insight into the capabilities of the ironclaw rats.

They likely possessed abilities akin to those of panggalins, capable of using their forklaws to burrow into the earth.

Perhaps they could excavate tunnels or even bore through mountains.
