"Lord, Lord Lord!"

William knocked open the door of the meeting room of the Lord's Mansion and shouted loudly.

Eight eyes were shot at him, one of which was particularly dangerous.

Alexander looked at William who was gasping for breath with his tongue hanging out, a look of sullenness flashed on his face, and he shouted sternly: "Where are the guards? Where are they all dead!"

"Your Excellency Alexander..."

The two bearmen responsible for guarding the Lord's Mansion stood at the door of the conference room, lowering their heads and defending: "We are watching William say..."

"enough!"

Alexander waved his hand to interrupt the conversation between the two of them, his face full of coldness.

"Let me ask you, what are your responsibilities?"

"Negative, responsible for protecting the safety of the Lord's Mansion." Under Alexander's gaze, a bearman swallowed and said timidly.

"Is this how you protect the safety of the Lord's Mansion?" Alexander raised his voice, "You let him in without even announcing it? Is this how Tagore taught you?"

"Wei, William said he had an urgent military situation."

The two bear men lowered their heads, not daring to meet Alexander's eyes, but they still said sophistry.

"You just believe what he says?!" Alexander was speechless at the heads of these guys and waved his hand impatiently, "Go find Tago and be punished. I think he will tell you why!"

The two orcs left dejectedly.

Alexander turned around, looked at William who was hesitant to speak, and said coldly: "Boy, you'd better explain why you broke into the conference room. Otherwise, even if Tiger comes to plead for mercy, I will kill you."

The scout captain will be hung at the city gate for three days to make your fellow tribesmen grow brainless!"

These beast-turned-human beings don’t even know how to write the word “military discipline”. Do they really think that I, Alexander, am a good gentleman?

"Lord," under Alexander's vague pressure, William took a deep breath to calm down his emotions and said, "I found traces of the ogre fifty kilometers southwest of the Emerald Territory.

"

"Ogre? Really?"

Upon hearing these three words, Prue's expression changed and he asked hurriedly.

Ogre, that was his childhood nightmare.

As long as the kobold cubs cry, the female kobolds who are responsible for feeding the children will scare them, "If you cry again, the ogres will come to eat you." Suddenly, the kobold cubs covered their mouths one after another, and their eyes were filled with tears.

It's fear, silence.

The reputation of ogres among the kobolds is so great that it is second only to the kobolds' worship of dragons.

William took out a piece of fur from his arms with a look of disgust.

Suddenly, everyone frowned and covered their noses.

It stinks, it really stinks.

"An ogre's scalp?"

Faced with Alexander's question, William nodded.

"How many are there?"

"I didn't dare to sneak in, but I just roughly counted around fifty ogres. The number of half-animal ogres was about twice as many as the ogres, about a hundred. In addition,

In addition, there are also a large number of gnolls, kobolds and goblins who are used as slaves to build the fortress." William said.

"Fortress? Are you sure?"

William nodded. "I saw it with my own eyes."

"This is troublesome." Alexander rubbed his chin, his eyes a little solemn.

The number of this group of ogres is not too large, but combined with their preparations to build a fortress, it shows that they have just migrated to this area. Perhaps they were the defeated party in the civil war between the ogre tribes. This means

This means that they will regard this area as their own territory.

In order to expand their population or defend their territory, ogre tribes often fight with other ogre tribes.

The scope of the ogre territory is usually about fifty kilometers, and unfortunately, the Emerald Castle is also within this fifty kilometers.

In other words, in order to gain absolute control over their territory, these ogres will definitely launch an attack on the Emerald Castle, and the time will probably be after they have completely established the fortress.

"Also, I found traces of furnaces. They seem to be forging weapons and equipment. But their equipment is too heavy and I can't move it back."

"A furnace for forging equipment?"

Alexander's frown deepened. The ogre tribe has its own heritage, such as forging weapons, manufacturing equipment, taming beasts, etc., but the premise is that the ogre tribe must have its own wizard.

The ogre wizard is the wise man in the ogre tribe and the true leader of the ogre tribe. An ogre wizard can increase the overall combat power of an ogre tribe by about 20%!

Although almost all ogres have intelligence that they cannot even count on their fingers, obviously, ogre wizards are not included in this list. If the average human intelligence is 10 points, then the average ogre's intelligence is only 6

to 8 points, while the ogre wizard's is as high as 14 points, comparable to some of the elites among humans.

The most terrifying variant is the two-headed ogre wizard. This terrifying mutant has an IQ of over 20 points and a strength value of over 50 points. It is a legendary-level challenging monster!

Being able to drive slaves, build fortresses, and forge equipment, with the intelligence of ordinary ogres, they simply cannot do this. They will only eat these captives to satisfy their endless appetite.

Only the ogre wizard can do this!

How can you allow others to snore on the side of the bed?

We must kill this group of ogres before they have a stable foothold, otherwise, only Alexander and his Emerald Territory will suffer in the future!

"By the way, Lord Lord, I also brought this back."

As he spoke, William placed a piece of ore on the conference table.

It was a piece of ore the size of a fist, and it was dotted with golden spots of varying sizes.

"Golden nugget!"

William's eyes suddenly lit up, and he reached out and took the ore in his hand.

Prue brought his dog's head close to it, looked at it, nodded and said, "It is indeed dog-headed gold, but the purity is not that high."

Nugget gold is a gold-rich ore, which is naturally produced, has impure texture, large particles and irregular shape. Some people call it nugget gold because its shape resembles a dog head. However, in the south, it is also known as nugget gold.

Because the shape of these ores resembles a horseshoe, some people call them horseshoe gold.

Everyone present, whether they were natives or players, could not help but breathe heavily.

These ogres discovered a gold mine?!

Alexander thought more. With the gold mine, the development of the Emerald Territory would be on the fast track.

After all, all lords have the right to mint coins, but the gold coins they mint must be gold eagle coins with the griffon pattern of the Griffin Empire printed on one side and the image of the goddess of wealth on the other side. Otherwise, the gold coins you mint must be

The gold coins can only be circulated within their own territory and cannot be used for trade with other territories.

It is said that Wojin, Lady of Fortune, achieved great power and became one of the Seven Gods of Order precisely because she unified the monetary system in most civilized areas of the main plane of Engema.

You must take this gold mine into your own hands!

This is Alexander's only thought now.

"I'll let Dalia help you."

In his mind, Richard's voice came.

Gold coins are the most circulated currency in the main material plane. This gold mine can greatly increase the development speed of the Jade Territory.

At the same time, Richard was also curious, what were these ogres doing occupying a gold mine?

These stupid robbers, who can't even count the number on their fingers, still use gold coins to trade?

Aren't they afraid that those businessmen who are more cunning than the devil will defraud them of their underpants?
