Glory Riding and Cutting

The sky was getting brighter, and Ronan and Yatan drank about three cups. In the previous life, Ronan was unconscious after this amount, but now his body is very strong, and Ronan and Yatan are only a little drunk That's it, they haven't reached the level of intoxication yet. Judging from their current drinking capacity, it is estimated that each person will have to drink about eight or nine cups of spirits above 40 degrees to feel a little intoxicated.

Leading the troops to the front of the cone-shaped building in the center, the Nord soldiers were already waiting, but they did not open the door. The big iron door was fastened with two iron bars. Ronan noticed that there should be another one underneath. Reminiscent of the Orc Commander's weapon, there should be three iron rods on this door, but one fell off and was picked up by the Orc Commander as a weapon.

At this time, the iron rod on the gate was completely rusted and could not be pulled out at all. In desperation, Ronan could only pull out Unwaking Nightmare and split the iron rod from the middle with a few swords.

This divine one-handed sword may not have even occurred to him that the first battle it came to this world was to cut the door lock, although it has no consciousness of its own.

After the door lock was broken, the soldiers tied the protrusions on both sides of the door with ropes, and then slowly pulled the rusty and heavy door open like a tug-of-war.

With a crisp sound of the collapse, the position of the bearing of the large iron gate on the left was broken directly, and the iron gate toppled over. The soldiers on the left were caught off guard and fell to the ground like dominoes.

The door on the left fell off, and the door on the right was also opened a little. At this time, there was no obstacle preventing Ronan from entering the interior of the ruins.

It was so dark inside that it was impossible to see anything. As soon as Yatan was about to light the fire, Ronan stopped him. In his previous life, he had seen the news that the long-abandoned mine had exploded because a worker smoked a cigarette.

Although Ronan didn't know what the principle was, it was better to be careful. The gate of this building hadn't been opened for some time, so it would be safer to wait for it to ventilate before igniting it.

"You, and Yatan, follow me down, and the others stay behind and search the surrounding area carefully."

Ronan ordered five soldiers, and then distributed a night vision potion to each of them and Yatan.

The seven took the night vision potion, Ronan borrowed a shield from a soldier and entered the ruins.

Three Nord fighters lead the battle, the other two are in the rear, and Ronan and Yatan are in the middle. Entering the ruins with an area of ​​more than 200 square meters, the first thing that catches the eye is a large pit of about 50 square meters, and the downward stairs built inside.

There are also some old tools and a few large boxes lying around. These wooden tools and boxes were corroded and fragile, and the Nord fighters shattered the box with a light tug, revealing a whole box of unprocessed ore covered in dust.

Yatan walked over and picked up a piece of ore.

"It's the same as the ore I found from those orcs during my previous investigation. They are all unprocessed silver mines. This place should have been a mine before, and the nearby buildings were built for workers to live in. I just don't know why it happened. was discarded."

Ronan also picked up a piece of ore, knocked it and rubbed it a few times to reveal a touch of silver, feeling very happy. After all, silver is also a precious metal, and a little processing can directly turn it into a lot of wealth.

At present, the most important thing is to check whether the mine is still in stock, but judging from the few boxes of ore nearby that have not been transported away, they should have rushed to evacuate due to some situation, rather than abandoning the mine after mining. .

If the stock of this mine is still rich, then it is one of the most important capitals in Ronan's hands. As long as it is transported and handled carefully, it can continuously provide Ronan with a lot of wealth.

But in this case, a large part of the power will be allocated to protect this place, so that it cannot be discovered by other in-depth adventurers, nor can it be invaded by wild tribes in the forest, and it is best to process it into finished products for sale when selling, and it cannot be released at once. Too many, it's better not to be guessed by others that he owns a mine.

It's difficult. Ronan once again felt that there was a shortage of manpower. Aldridge's sea caravan needed a certain amount of guards, and Yatan's collection team needed a lot of manpower to continue operating in this undeveloped area.

The gangs on Kress's side also needed a lot of manpower to cover the arms trade. Judging from the size and strength of the orc tribe just now, if Ronan wants to defend this place, he must have at least a hundred troops stationed here.

Since this trip, Ronan thought he was quite generous, and the upper limit of troops was almost full again.

However, Ronan finally decided to deploy a garrison here consisting of 70 infantry and 30 archers, and was building some fortifications here, and was also responsible for mining ore. Compared with Ronan, there were no more The staff is empty.

Moreover, it is difficult to recruit workers who are willing to come to the forest to mine, and once workers are recruited from the outside, it is bound to leak the news and cause a lot of trouble. In addition to these one hundred people, a werewolf was assigned to be responsible for the vigilance and investigation within the range.

Yatan was in charge of the garrison, Enoch was in charge of preparing and providing supplies, and Yatan's collection team was in charge of delivery.

While Ronan was thinking, a group of seven people with green fluorescent eyes finally walked up the stairs and came to this huge mine.

Ronan smelled a very unpleasant smell. It should be some kind of gas formed by the waste of the mine for many years and it has been sealed. It will be fine after opening it for a few days.

After taking the night vision potion, although the field of vision is still very narrow in this pitch-black mine, it is much better than hitting the wall without seeing anything.

In order to avoid the breeding of dangerous creatures in this mine that has been abandoned for many years, Ronan ordered the soldiers to form a formation and advance slowly. He also pulled out his weapon and raised his shield to move forward carefully.

The mine is winding, with many forks, like a maze, some places are narrow and some places are wide, and many passages are blocked by stones falling from the top.

Normally speaking, when encountering such a situation, Ronan should actually exit directly. People who are not familiar with it can easily get lost and cannot get out if they enter rashly.

The safest way is to arrange a large force to search, make marks along the way or simply pull the line forward. After all, this is not a real maze, and the complex area of ​​the mine is limited. After a large force, you can quickly figure it out and draw a map.

But Yatan assured Ronan that she would never get lost, so Ronan must believe her.

Seeing that she was full of confidence and didn't look like she was lying, Ronan finally chose to believe her.

Seven turns and eight turns, after turning left, turning left, then turning right, then turning left, then turning right, going straight for a while, after turning right, then turning left, Ronan and others finally came to a relatively spacious place, looking at the traces and buildings The style should be something like a temporary rest area.

"Search!" Ronan ordered to the soldiers around him.

Today’s condition is not good, let’s owe a change first, my brain hurts, I have to get up early tomorrow to welcome the aid personnel back home, make up tomorrow┑(￣Д￣)┍
