Wizard's Journey

Chapter 544 Workshops and Factories

"This guy is getting stronger and stronger!"

Having fought for over a year, Storm Hammer could clearly sense that the legendary knight of Mothfrog City, the Decapitating Greatsword Wood One, had grown stronger and stronger. At the beginning, he sometimes needed to rely on a precious magical artifact he had obtained from who-knows-where to survive under his command, but now he could barely hold his own against him.

He is still very young and is growing rapidly. He truly deserves to be called the genius knight of Mothfrog City!

But... it doesn't matter anymore.

After another clash between Storm Hammer and Mu Yi, Storm Hammer, having seized the advantageous uphill position, roared arrogantly, "Mu Yi, the Decapitation Greatsword, you have no chance left, hahahahaha!"

Mu Yi gritted his teeth, his white warhorse stained with blood, and only a hundred or so knights remained around him, while the enemy had more than four hundred knights!

Besides the Rocky Mountain iron mine, the Blood Agate mine on the other side has also fallen; the enemy's number of knights is simply too great.

As the other party said, Mothfrog City has indeed lost its chance.

"Commander Mu, let's retreat!"

"We've done our best, Lord Green won't blame us!"

For years, the trusted knights who had always followed Mu Yi closely advised him that it wasn't that they lacked the courage to fight, but that there were simply too many enemies, so many that they had lost all hope of victory.

Rumble, rumble, rumble...

Over a hundred defeated knights from the Blood Agate Mine, their auras disordered, approached in disarray, pursued by several times their number of Lingwei City knights. Knowing there was no chance left, Mu Yi roared in despair, "Retreat!"

Although unwilling to disappoint Lord Green's expectations, Mu Yi would not let these knights die in vain. These knights were by no means the most elite knightly orders in legends, possessing the fighting spirit to risk their lives.

In fact, it is quite normal for knights to scatter in battle if their casualties exceed 30%.

The fact that Mu Yi's knightly order has not yet collapsed is something to be proud of in all the cities of the vast Nine-Headed Wrath Wizard Academy region.

"Hahahaha, hahahahahahaha!"

The triumphant cheers of the Lingwei City knights behind him felt like a knife cutting into Mu Yi's heart, and made all the fleeing Mothfrog City knights feel a burning pain on their faces, but there was nothing they could do.

Rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble...

Suddenly, as Mu Yi and his two hundred-plus knights fled in disarray toward the direction of Moth Frog City, the sound of galloping hooves echoed. Immediately afterward, a three-meter-long fiery red bird appeared in the sky, its graceful form resembling a fire sprite.

"Stop!"

Mu Yi waved to signal everyone to stop, then looked into the distance.

The group consisted of approximately two hundred knights, divided into three teams. Each of the three knight leaders had a different insignia. As the knights drew closer, Mu Yi and the other knights were able to see the insignia clearly.

Flame Mercenary Group?

The Roaring Earth Mercenary Group?

Magnolia Will Mercenary Group?

After the three mercenary groups stopped, Green stared in disbelief at the three knight leaders at the forefront—three legendary knights!

"Hahaha, this must be Commander Mu Yi, right? We've come to support the Rocky Mountains on the orders of Lord Green."

The leader of the Roaring Earth Mercenary Group rode a massive warhorse, which was actually a scaly horse. Otherwise, it would have been an incredibly difficult task for such a large horse to carry heavy loads for an extended period of time.

"Exactly."

After Mu Yi performed the knightly salute to the legendary knight, he sensed the seasoned experience emanating from these mercenaries, which were probably only comparable to the few trusted knights around him.

These three knightly orders, totaling nearly two hundred men, were all elite knights.

These are the reinforcements that Lord Green City has brought in!?

High-ranking mercenaries?

"It seems the situation in the Rocky Mountains is not good. Commander Mu, please show us around. We don't want to take Lord Green's reward for nothing."

Looking over, Mu was surprised to see a female legendary knight who was about his age. She was very beautiful and had a courage and determination that was different from that of ordinary girls.

Just as he was about to nod and turn to lead the way, Mu Yi's pupils suddenly contracted.

wizard!?

No, it can't be a wizard; it must be a wizarding apprentice.

Mu Yi could sense that the old wizard's apprentice's aura was similar to that of Grandma Vivian a few years ago; both were withered and nearing death.

"knew!"

Mu Yi gave the order, turning the many knights behind him around and launching a counterattack back towards the Rocky Mountains. At the same time, he could faintly hear some whispers among the knights around him.

"Damn it, these mercenaries look down on me!"

"That big bird is so beautiful, it must taste delicious..."

…………

the other side.

The mercenary leaders were right; at this time, Mothfrog City did not have the economic strength to hire three high-level mercenary groups for two years at the same time.

Even though Green had been deliberately accumulating wealth for several years, under normal circumstances, he would only be able to barely cover the cost of hiring two mercenary groups in the next two years, and he would also need to extract some funds from other sources.

The reason Green still employs three mercenary groups is that his investment in the farm ten years ago will begin to yield initial returns this year!

Ten years ago.

In response to the natural economic characteristics of Mothfrog City, Green used the Thousand-Eyed Giant Crab to cultivate a fertile land in the wilderness near the Doma River. He then adopted the model of the Issa family's breeding farm, which was once located in Santa Amland in the Seventh Ring, to develop an oak and ylang-ylang fruit breeding farm.

Of course, Green's farm cannot compare to the Isa family's super-large merchant group that spans half of the Holy Tower and even trades to other worlds, but it is more than enough to hire a mercenary group.

Oak trees can be used to extract a type of resin.

This resin has excellent thermal insulation properties, and some nobles would use this property to keep their rooms warm in winter.

Even more remarkably, some noble families would utilize the insulating properties of ice to store large quantities of ice during the winter, providing it for enjoyment during the hot summer months.

The extravagance of the nobility was unimaginable to ordinary people.

Yichun fruit is a strange hallucinogenic fruit. Small amounts have a numbing and analgesic effect, while large amounts produce a slight feeling of excitement and have a certain aphrodisiac effect. It is a plant that can only grow by relying on the unique minerals in certain soils of Moth Frog City.

As a wizard, Green naturally wouldn't search for suitable land for the growth of Yichun fruit trees like an ordinary commoner.

Instead, they used the wisdom of wizards to directly find this mineral element.

After a flight, Green arrived at his own rubber extraction workshop.

This workshop has already taken the form of a factory.

Watching the busy workers, Green, led by the workshop manager, arrived at the finished product area. There were jars of sealed rubber resin. All that was needed was to pour it into a fixed mold and add a small amount of additives, and the resin would be able to perform its properties.

"Um."

After taking several cans of rubber resin samples, Green returned to Mothfrog City and visited several merchant guild headquarters...
