With the assembly lines of Colossus City, do they still need to worry about equipnt in the future?
Before officially advancing to Tesser Yama, they will definitely forge better equipnt to arm themselves.
"You have one month to prepare. I will notify you of the ti and place for loading the ship later," Gaven provided a relatively flexible ti.
"Okay."
After basically finalizing the cooperation intention with the Iron Clan, Gaven imdiately told the Chosen of the two Ladies Strategy, "Regarding the production capacity of Colossus City, I believe you have already made your own estimation. Restarting the entire mining area to restore it to its peak state may take several years.
However, for small-scale, stable production, once the high-pressure steam channels are fully operational, it can be achieved. If your need for equipnt is not that urgent, it’s better to take accurate asurents, then place orders and produce in batches. You will have absolute priority in purchasing."
The specific price will be determined after Colossus City is fully operational and professionals have specially calculated the cost. I promise to give you the most favorable prices."
Everything has a price.
Even if they are the Chosen of the sa Lady Strategy, Zalanda and himself have complex intertwined feelings, but so accounts must be clearly and transparently calculated.
"Agreed," Zalanda and Katherine nodded in agreent simultaneously.
They clearly distinguish the importance of stable and continuous equipnt supply channels over dwarf treasures, which are a one-ti deal compared to hundreds of pieces of dwarf equipnt.
What they need most urgently now is to select and train soldiers. As soon as the equipnt is in place, they can build an army on this basis.
Gaven made an overall deploynt adjustnt for Colossus City, "The Gnolls’ mining should not stop temporarily, and the agreent with Ruitawen City should continue to be maintained even after Colossus Underground City is fully operational."
Shanoba asked in confusion, "By then, we can be self-sufficient in iron, so why sell it cheaply to outsiders?"
"To stimulate the economy and trade," Gaven patiently explained, "If we solely let those rchants transport food to Colossus City, even if we are willing to pay high prices, I believe many rchants would still be reluctant due to the long distance, and the relatively limited profit from grain. But if we add iron ore for the return trip, it becos different.
They can earn twice their profits with a round trip.
And how many people do they support along the way? rchants, coachn, guards, probably thousands.
Many things on the trade route between Colossus City and Ruitawen have been activated, and so shrewd rchants have already started building trade route inns along the way.
Their main custors now are the iron ore transport convoys.
If we terminate this cooperation project, the newly sprouted trade will be imdiately strangled, which would be detrintal to our subsequent developnt.
First, maintain the current situation. Once the trade volu from all sides increases and the dependence on iron ore transportation decreases, we will then consider ending this project."
For Gaven, money is not always the most important thing. The cooperation with Ruitawen City is an example.
Not to ntion just making less profit, even if it ans losing money, so things must still be maintained.
Shanoba, half understanding, responded, "As you command."
"After the mining area restarts, the Gnolls’ responsibility will change from mining to support, assisting in the maintenance and reinforcent of mine tunnels, planting and harvesting in mushroom plantations, and simultaneously forming their own Gnoll Road Building Team to develop and maintain the Conqueror Path. If necessary, I will dispatch so from here to help."
The ultra-modern mining mode of Colossus City has directly replaced a large number of Gnolls from the mine tunnels, naturally requiring adjustnts in their roles, "If there is excess capacity, you can try to open a second mining area.
The mountain where the Temple of Talos is located is an iron mountain. The iron ore there has beco sowhat different due to years of lightning strikes."
Before Shanoba could reply, Giharin Clan Leader and Chieftain Yuriu spoke in unison, "Thunderstruck Ironstone!"
"Do the two clan leaders know about this ironstone? What specific effects does it have?" Gaven hurriedly asked.
Speculation is one thing, but getting professional certification is another.
"Go ahead, Clan Leader," the Gray Dwarf Chieftain politely said, "I’ve only heard ancestors ntion it, but I’ve never seen it myself."
"Alright," Giharin Clan Leader said without hesitation, twisting his beard as he explained, "This type of ironstone must be slted and forged using special techniques to create thunder iron or thunder steel, which have a high affinity for lightning elents. If used to forge magic wands or staves, it can enhance the holder’s lightning spell power.
If used to forge weapons, there is a chance to grant them the special ability of lightning attack.
If used to forge weapons and armor, it will confer varying degrees of lightning resistance, and even lightning immunity.
The specific extent depends on the attributes of the Thunderstruck Ironstone itself; the more tis it has been struck by lightning, the higher the quality of the Thunderstruck Ironstone.
In fact, the quantity of Thunderstruck Ironstone in the Material Plane is not much; there is more in the Lightning Plane at the intersection of the Air Elental Plane and the Earth Elental Plane. There, the stones are constantly whipped by the abundant lightning as they drift from the Earth Elental Plane, especially those conductive tals."
