Chapter 371: Preparing to battle

The Oldman Small Town would surely create an uproar.

The mines managed by the dwarves for a hundred years had actually been turned into a small underground town. With a water system, an indoor garden, secure defenses, and comfortable living space, it was one of the safest places on the edge of the Forest of Chaos.

The dwarves announced that they were turning Oldman Small Town into the safest trading market on the edge of the Forest of Chaos, and that they were welcoming all guests from different clans to make Oldman Small Town their mutual home. Any power that helped guard the town would receive a portion of the revenue and wealth earned in the town.

This incredibly new mode of management spread through bulletins to the various small towns In just a few days, it immediately spread across the several hundred kilometers around and people were all stunned by this method.

Joint management?

Sharing benefits?

Long term development?

When did the dwarves become this naive!

Were the dwarves not aware that the forest was filled with people who ate alone? They never cared about long term development and only cared about short term deals. While everyone else was following the dark forest principle and trying not to be found by hunters, the dwarves were like human torches shouting to everyone, “Quickly come over, we are here!”

These bold methods will surely invite disaster!

The Forest of Chaos did not lack hunters and did not lack new robbers, so exposing oneself was equivalent to death. As for this absurd proposition, no one minded it at all.

But the villages around Oldman Small Town were anxious. After Saldo Small Town was disbanded, these dozen villages did not have a place to trade. When they obtained this news, they could not help coming to take a look.

When the several villages arrived in the underground Oldman Small Town, they were all stunned by its appearance. There was a large screen hung above the gate and looped on the smooth surface of the mirror was the situation of the Oldman Small Town. It introduced the location and characteristics of the Oldman Small Town’s market, the benefits of trading in Oldman Small Town, as well as the strategy for doing business in Oldman Small Town.

This new kind of advertisement made everyone’s eyes light up.

But everyone found that they had been shocked too early because after they walked into Oldman Small Town, an even more shocking scene appeared in front of them.

Without a doubt.

This was an underground city.

The Forest of Chaos had many underground cities, but they were characterized by being hidden, sealed, dim, and having no ventilation. However, Oldman Small Town changed everyone’s thoughts. This place was not only well ventilated, the most important part was that the small town was lit up.

A giant electric lamp was hung high up and this light was enough to illuminate the entire small town. The underground palace made by the dwarves, it had a prestige to it when it was illuminated by the light. There were loudspeakers on both sides directing guests as they walked in.

“Too mysterious!” The rabbit race village head was shocked as he looked at the lights, “What kind of light is this? It’s not crystal light, but why is it so bright.”

When people entered the Oldman Small Town’s market, they discovered that it was very empty as if no one had come, but the dwarves had already put some products out.

Of course it came from Miracle Commerce. Other than high quality pills and talismans, there were also some simple items like canned food, wine, lights, cameras, and some resources that were scarce in the forest.

Chu Tian had given them to the dwarves to sell and had generously offered to give them half the profit. The material for these items were not very high level, but the products were very fresh, immediately attracting the villagers’ attention. There were some people buying a few things to bring back.

As long as people tried them.

Then what followed would be much easier.

The Oldman Small Town special products spread to other black markets, small towns, and underground markets. In just a few days, there were more and more people in Oldman Small Town. It was the same as before, most of these people were from small villages.

The Oldman Small Town markets did not just sell items, they also purchased various resources, demon beast meat, herbs, ores, and leather. They took all kinds of normally scene resources and they gave a very fair price.

Everyone was about to go crazy.

These things most villages could take out a bit. If they went to any other market, they wouldn’t even receive half the price at the Oldman Small Town market. For such a simple comparison, even a fool would know what the right choice is.

The Oldman Small Town market attracted a lot of popularity. In just a short week, the small villages and tribes attracted by the small town exceeded a hundred. With their increasing popularity, more people who were further away began to make the long journey here to make transactions.

Since Oldman Small Town was formed until now, there were no hunters or robbers that looted it.

Everyone analyzed the reason and finally came to a suitable conclusion.

First, the Oldman Mines had five thousand brave dwarven warriors, normal robbers and hunters would not dare take this risk. Second, the Oldman Mines had been robbed once and the most precious items had already been taken away. Third, the Oldman Mines have already been exposed and everyone knew about this place. What significance would it have if it was occupied, instead they could attract the attention of a large power. Fourth, the Oldman Mines were looking for alliances and the products coming from the market clearly did not come from the dwarves, which means there was another not simple power participating in the Oldman Mines, so no one dared advance recklessly......

Like this, the Oldman Small Town was really dancing on the knife’s edge, but did not draw in a disaster. Instead, the small town became famous. It was an existence that no one dared move against even without a large power’s backing.

It was unknown when this delicate balance would break, but before the balance broke, it was very safe and everyone benefited from this place, so no one would pass on these benefits. Right now it wasn’t only small villages trading in Oldman Small Town, there were some small and middle sized forces that couldn’t sit still, so they also sent people in.

historical

The small town was the scene of prosperity.

The dwarves were very happy about this because after the small town market was opened, not only did they earn a lot out of selling Miracle Commerce’s products, they also earned a lot through other transactions. If this continued on, the dwarves would become very wealthy very quickly.

The dwarf chief heavy heartedly found Chu Tian, “Although the market is very lively, there is no one willing to enter into alliance with us and guard Oldman together. If this continues on, the more prosperous the small town gets, we’ll just attract a disaster in the end.”

When strength and wealth weren’t matched, a disaster would be attracted. The Oldman Small Town quickly prospered and there were more and more wealth being stored in the town’s warehouses. After a certain point, it will surely attract the greed of others.

“No need to be worried, this is very normal.” Chu Tian had confidence in this development, “The Oldman Small Town had just been formed and this idea of joint administration is a new idea in this forest. When a new idea appears, people need time to observe it first. Moreover, because the small town was opened, there could be problems occuring at any moment. It is very normal for people to question our power, so what we need now is a chance to demonstrate our strength.”

The Oldman Small Town’s administrative method was indeed advanced for the Forest of Chaos.

Many powers jointly managing the small town and sharing the profits. Whoever gave more protection would receive more income and benefits. He was confident that a few medium sized and large sized powers would be interested in giving this a try. They would send a small part of their army to be the small town’s garrison and form a joint army.

Like this, the predators would not dare make rash moves.

The dwarves were not afraid of losing control of the mine. After all, just from the shares of the market, the dwarves could live and mine on the third floor like normal.

At this time, a space fluctuation appeared nearby.

“Chu Tian, something happened!”

“What is it?”

“We have learned of some news!” Vivian anxiously said to Chu Tian, “There are a large amount of Spirit Insects moving to the west and they are probably coming here. I think they should be Kanun’s comrades!”

“How many are there?”

“I’m not clear, but I’m afraid there are at least ten thousand of them!”

They were finally here? Since Oldman Small Town was formed, the small town would have to be challenged, so Chu Tian was already prepared. As long as they could become famous in the forest with a single fight, it would be much easier for them to receive shelter in the future.

“The Spirit Insects are good at digging holes, we have to be prepared.”

Chu Tian had placed a letter in the Space Warehouse asking the young miss for reinforcements. When they opened the Space Warehouse again, the letter had been taken and there were over a thousand land mines inside.

Chu Tian understood the young miss’ idea and immediately called Vivian to lay the land mines. These land mines were buried ten kilometers away from the town and were all placed ten meters underground. There was a large pile of tree roots above them to cover it, so they were not easy to trigger from being walked on, but if anything came from underground, they would blown to mush.

In two days, the news of the Spirit Insects army attacking Oldman Small Town quickly spread. The lively small town instantly became deserted.

Each village hid themselves away to avoid the battle, while at the same time, carefully observing the battle. Whether Oldman Small Town was strong or weak, this battle would make it clear.

The ones observing weren’t just the small influences, there were also some large influences of the forest’s edge that were carefully observing as well.

When the large battle was about to break out.

Chu Tian received the large amounts of Source Energy Weapons from the young miss through the Space Warehouse. This part of the forest was already covered in Miracle Commerce’s signal, so Chu Tian quickly contacted Nangong Yun and the three thousand berserkers were already rushing over to the Oldman Mines.

Chu Tian’s heart was filled with confidence.

With the Source Energy Weapons, with the berserkers, and with the dwarves’ help, was there anything to be worried about?
