Chapter 75 I feel relieved knowing that everyone is so poor.
The indigenous population has increased. When the time comes, the indigenous population will engage in basic farming and provide services. The players will be responsible for adventure and combat. The indigenous players will flourish. As a lord, aren't you laughing?
So Flynn asked a few villagers casually: "Tudou Village is not the only wild border village. I remember that there are several self-sustaining villages scattered on the northern border of the Iron Hill Kingdom. You and those villages have Have you contacted anyone?"
Human beings are a powerful race on the continent, and their countries occupy most of the fertile land on the continent. However, the world outside the human country is still vast, and those enemies are still terrifying.
According to Flynn's knowledge, the Iron Hill Kingdom alone is in the border area, and there are many villages like Tudou Village that are left to fend for themselves outside of protection.
Not only the Iron Hill Kingdom, but also some other human countries also have existences similar to Tudou Village.
Flynn was thinking, could he take over all the villages on the northern edge of the Iron Hill Kingdom?
If those villages were protected by their own lords, then they would definitely not be able to take the population by force.
But what if those villages, like Tudou Village, did not have the protection of lords.
Then there is an explanation!
If the lord gives up his responsibility to protect the villagers, then the villagers no longer have the obligation to be loyal to the lord!
It is completely reasonable and legal to poach people yourself.
And since there is no lord around anyway, there is no need to worry about offending the local lord.
As for digging or not?
As long as the hoe dances well, there is no corner that cannot be dug down?
Now Tudou Village is developing so well, and its safety can be guaranteed, and farmland is given away for free when you come. With these conditions and treatment, how can it be impossible to poach the poor villagers on the border?
Flynn asked the villagers for information about other villages similar to Potato Village.
It is a pity that the villagers replied: "We do know that there are several villages, but because the roads are not close to each other and the roads in between are too dangerous, there is little contact between our villages."
"The only thing that is certain is that those villages are probably no better than our Potato Village."
"Yes." Flynn nodded with satisfaction, "I feel relieved knowing that everyone is living in such poverty."
"You can report the names and approximate locations of those villages to me later. Maybe I will send a few brave men to investigate the situation."
Flynn was about to continue his daily inspection work when he saw a few players running from the village.
"Report!"
"Report to the lord! I found a group of horse-riding slave traders in the wilderness 30 kilometers north. They were escorting a group of refugees and seemed to be heading further north!"
"We brothers saw slave traders whipping and abusing the refugees, and those refugees looked pitiful in their ragged clothes, so we righteous brothers couldn't stand it and went up to argue, and the result was!"
"We were all killed by slave traders!"
Flynn frowned when he heard the news.
The situation seemed simple: a group of slave traders were holding the slaves and preparing to smuggle them to another place for trade.
As for why it appeared in the north of Tudou Village, the reason is easy to guess: because the major human civilization countries on the continent have already signed abolition agreements.
Although slavery still exists in practice, at least in name, all civilized countries have abolished slavery.
An'er, for example, was actually a slave bought by Flynn, but in name An'er was a salaried maid.
But in any case, because of the signing of the abolition agreement, there will be no blatant slave trade in the human world now.
According to the players' descriptions, a group of armed slave traders rode horses, drove hundreds of people with chains, ropes and shackles, and whipped them wantonly.
It is impossible to conceal such a large-scale slave trading behavior that has been carried out in the market, and it is impossible to walk in human civilized countries such as the Iron Qiu Kingdom.
Therefore, Flynn guessed that they must be smuggling slave traders who took routes outside the border to avoid human countries along the way.
After arriving in the north of the destination country, then go south to the border, find secluded places to sell to buyers in a low-key manner, such as selling to black mines, selling to private militarized estates - in these places, outsiders cannot enter at all. If he doesn't come, the slave won't be able to get out. Naturally, he can exploit and use the slave safely and boldly.
But why did the slave traders go further north?
Is it because they are worried that 30 kilometers north of Tudou Village is not hidden enough, so they plan to continue deep into the wilderness and make a huge circle?
After an analysis, Flynn drew his sword and shouted angrily: "How dare you! How dare you smuggle slaves in my lord's territory!"
"Such an inhumane act of slave trading occurred only 30 kilometers north of Tudou Village. Where does my lord's face come from?"
"This lord has decided to defend the abolition agreement signed by the Iron Hill Kingdom and safeguard the dignity of the lord!"
"Send troops!"
Flynn then issued a system announcement and quickly organized 60 players to set off in the direction of the northern slave traders.
In fact, Flynn originally wanted to gather all the people and mobilize more than a hundred people.
But now Tudou Village has a bigger market, many places are under construction, and many players are also carrying out their own adventures. There is no need to mobilize all personnel to affect development at every turn.
After all, according to intelligence, the number of slave traders is only 20.
After the battle to annihilate the Tulsin tribe, players have greatly improved in terms of equipment and combat quality.
60 players should be enough.
60 players who were not afraid of death ran towards the north as fast as mad dogs.
Although the slave traders were a little worried about being exposed due to their previous minor conflicts with the players, they had already accelerated their journey north as much as possible.
But after all, they still brought a large group of slaves with them. With this group of slaves, the slave traders could not move faster.
So a few hours later, the players encountered the slave traders.
Flynn used player radar to observe and saw that 60 players first set a few small resurrections on the rocks nearby, and then ran in unison in front of the slave traders, blocking the way.
Niu Dingtian came out with a few younger brothers, and said in a big brother-like manner: "I have run dozens of kilometers to warm up. Everyone, please stop first. I will go negotiate with the other side!"
Then Niu Dingtian shouted to the slave traders: "Slave traders across the way, listen! We are the brave men under Flynn Tesnilan, the lord of Tudou Village!"
"You have been surrounded by the braves of our Potato Village!"
"You sold slaves in the territory of Tudou Village and killed several of our brave men for no reason. You have committed an unforgivable crime!"
"I am Niu Dingtian! As the president of the Dingtian Alliance, the largest guild in "Superman Chronicles 2", I demand your unconditional surrender!"
"Otherwise, shoot to death without mercy!"
