The 910th Chapter Does Not Report (2)

Angte's eyeballs rolled sharply, and his nose was sweating. He was still a little immature. ∧.╳╬. When I was young, I was under Daniel's wing. Although I worked hard to practice swords and read books after taking over the position of lord, I was still a teenager in the end. Allen's eyes were not harsh, even a little indifferent. But the more this happened, the less he knew what the man in front of him was thinking. Without any speculation, he had no choice but to follow his intuition, and said with a wry smile: "My lord is going to settle accounts with me this time?"

Allen laughed: "If you want to settle accounts with you, I'm afraid it won't be my turn. Edward alone can turn your territory upside down. You can sit here because you finally made the right choice. And I came today This is to hope that you can follow the previous choice and go on."

"It won't be long, I'm probably heading north."

Ante's heart moved.

go north? The young man was short of breath, and he vaguely guessed Alan's intention to go north. In fact, it is not difficult to guess, with his current momentum, if there are a few more years to develop. With a stable operation, he can probably reach the status of Tieqiang Huoyi. But he chose to go to the northern border of the empire despite his stable life, because he had made up his mind to make bigger plans in the imperial capital.

What could be a bigger conspiracy than the Marquis of Strength?

Grand Duke of the Empire!

Ambitious!

Angte calmed down, and finally faced the man directly: "What do I need to do?"

Allen narrowed his eyes, shook his head and said: "As long as you manage your territory well, it will be the greatest help to me. ≠≤∈⊥. ≠. Master Angte, until this time, I gave up on using a puppet to manage it for you The plan of the Viscounty. And if you were ecstatic when you heard that I was going north, then at this time, you can probably meet Sir Daniel."

"Fortunately, as I said before, until this moment, your choice was very correct. Tell me, do you still want revenge?"

"Before this morning, I still had this idea, but now I don't." Angte said calmly, "Because what you said just now woke me up. You have seen the mountains and the sea, but I still stare at a low mountain. Not to mention the difference in combat power, not to mention the management methods of the territory. I have already lost in terms of vision alone. If I still think about revenge, then I probably won’t even be able to see your back clearly in this life.”

Allen reached out and tapped the table: "Believe it or not, although Viscount Daniel wanted to kill me first, I didn't hate him. As a Viscount, he is already very remarkable to be able to manage such a situation. ≮≦∈ vnet≧≦w╃ww.”

Angte's eyes were red, and he couldn't tell what it was like.

After a moment of silence in the box,

Angte shook his head and changed the subject: "Did you ask me to say these things specifically?"

"Of course not, do I still have to curry favor with you, a brat?" Allen said naturally, "I'm going to visit the mountain city, do you want to go and see it together?"

"Look at what?"

"When I was away, the old thing Reckerd caused me a lot of trouble. You have to thank Edward, otherwise, the foundation that Sir Daniel finally laid down would have to be stolen by that old boy. What about me? In fact, it is very simple. If someone treats me well, I will always protect him in every possible way. If anyone wants to attack me, I will knock out his front teeth." Alan patted the Red King beside him, and said with a smile: "So this time, I will I’m going to kill Reket, cultivate a successor in the mountain city overtly and secretly, and let them fight each other. It’s best to fight for ten or eight years, so I don’t have to worry about going north.”

Angte gritted his teeth and said, "If I insisted on revenge before, would the Unicorn Leader treat me like this?"

Alan rested his palm on the Red King, and asked lightly, "What do you think?"

In the early morning of the next day, Lyons Mountain Road border post. ≠≈≮??.┯╳.┼c╃o╊m

Before the morning mist cleared, a caravan led by the Unicorn came to the border post. After showing the relevant certificates, the soldiers at the post quickly let them go. Lyon Mountain Road is a mountain overflow road, which starts from the Unicorn collar, gradually widens around the mountains, and turns into the Juying Highland two days later. In a few more days, you will arrive at the mountain city where Earl Reckerd is located.

The mountain city is rich in steel and other materials. This kind of raw material has brought a steady stream of wealth to the mountain city, and it has also allowed the mountain city to develop rapidly. Reckerd's family has been operating for several generations, owning a large mine of raw materials, promoting the development of weapon workshops, and making the weapons and equipment produced in the mountain city flow to various parts of the southern border. This is the cornerstone of the growth of the mountain city. It's just that in the past ten years, it has been rumored that the mines in the mountain city have been exhausted. Perhaps this is the motivation for Reckerd to expand his territory.

Expansion of territory is not something that can be achieved by just talking about it. After all, not all territories have owners now, and the empire has long passed the era of opening up territories. As long as the empire does not expand for a day, the lords who want more lords have to fight hard. Apart from the fact that the unicorn collar was empty for a period of time, it was able to take advantage of the gap, and the two-pronged scheme of conspiracy was used to win the territory without bloodshed. For the rest, it is necessary to start a war to snatch them with real swords and guns. ≠≥≈≈≥≥≤

The empire has always turned a blind eye to the lord's civil war. As long as the rules of the game are not violated, the empire rarely intervenes. The territory of the Balegon Empire was all based on typing, and this tradition seems to have continued. The successive emperors took a laissez-faire attitude towards this, and bloodshed in the empire was true. But because of this, the empire has been established for five hundred years, and its national strength has only risen but not fallen. Even though the combat strength in the southern border is not as good as that of the northern capital, it is still difficult for foreign races to open a gap from the southern border. It can be seen that this strategy of supporting the country through war is not entirely impossible.

Besides, Earl Reckerd in the mountain city wanted to expand. He had previously planned to annex the Unicorn Territory and Ark Port, and finally turned around to eat Allen's Viscount Territory. I never thought that the old earl was too greedy, and he would kill himself if he let his appetite go too far. First, they blocked the army that was secretly transferred to the Unicorn collar under Edward's arrangement, and then gave Willa and the others a brutal beating on Gilles, making Reckerd's plan come to nothing.

Now if you want to go out, there is no other way except to start a real war. So in the past half a year, Reckerd has been holding back on the surface, but secretly he has been constantly recruiting troops to buy food. The mountain city is rich in copper ore and iron ore, but food has to be bought from other territories. Among them, several places in Allen's territory are major grain producers. Originally, Reckerd thought that the other party might not be so generous in selling grain to him, but he still sent someone to make a detour to collect the grain. Unexpectedly, Edward opened the door of convenience, not only willing to sell grain, but also allowed the caravan to transport grain to the mountain city for sale. Of course, here, Edward has collected enough tariffs for grain, and the grain sold to the mountain city is 30% higher than the market price.

This is obviously to take advantage of Reckerd. If you want to buy food, I will give it to you, just buy it at a high price. It was also thanks to Reckerd who was able to swallow this breath, the earl carefully calculated. If you don't buy food from Edward, you buy it from other places. Not to mention the journey, the cost will be half as high. In this way, Edward only increased by 30%, which is considered kind, so Reckerd acted like a coward, pretending not to know, and let the chamber of commerce in the city continue to buy.

Now this caravan going to the mountain city is going to transport a batch of grain to the mountain city for sale, and the market price of the grain will stabilize before the caravan transports it. Although the tariff to go to the mountain city is a bit higher, the difference in the selling price is enough to make up for Guan Rui, and it is 20% higher than the selling price in other places. Regardless of the price difference of only 20%, this amount is also very amazing.

In the past half a year, the army in Shancheng has continued to expand. At present, an infantry regiment of more than 2,000 people has been established, and the Blood Wolf Knights have reached as many as 500 people. The daily food consumption in this army is astonishing, not counting the consumption of ordinary citizens in the mountain city. So the current mountain city is a big food sucker.

Where there is a caravan, there will naturally be guards.

The escort of this caravan is Chidori Mercenary Group, this mercenary group is not large, there are only about 50 people, old and young. However, Chidori can be regarded as a veteran mercenary group among its peers. Their mission failure rate is maintained at about 10%, and they have a good reputation in the industry. Some short-distance caravans are willing to hire Chidori as guards, especially the frequent caravans going to the mountain city in the past few months. When the mercenary group Chidori has gone to the mountain city three or four times.

Chidori is no stranger to the road from Lyon Mountain Road to the Jueying Heights, and then into the mountain city. This time, the head of the group, Wozzi, went out in person. Originally, the head of the group rarely went out on his own for such an escort mission. But this time there was a lively girl of fifteen or sixteen years old in the mercenary group, so Wozzi had to come by himself. Who told the girl to be his daughter? Wozzi went out with the team because he was afraid that his daughter would suffer losses on the road.

The young girl Fei Lin is just at the age of innocence and romance, and she also has the strength of the twelfth level under her father's training. His attainments in swordsmanship are so-so, and he has no problem dealing with ordinary bandits and strong men, but he lacks actual combat experience. Bringing her out this time, Wach also wanted to let her learn more and sharpen her mind.

Feline didn't refuse either. This lively and active girl would always ride back and forth in front of the caravan on her own little white horse. Sometimes chatting with the soldiers of the mercenary regiment, and sometimes mingling with the people of the caravan. With her there, the journey was much more lively.

Woqi is over forty years old, and the strength of level 18 is neither high nor low among his peers. It's just that his achievements in this life are just like this. Woqi is very aware of his abilities, so Chidori's mercenary group has not expanded. A small and medium-sized team of about fifty people can accept some caravan escort missions without being too ostentatious. Although it doesn't make as much money as the large mercenary groups in Ark Port, Wozzi is very content.

He had already figured out that when Fei Lin was older, he would marry her to Dalang, the son of the deputy head. That young man who is only ten years old and already has level 15 strength, will probably be able to take over the mercenary regiment in the future. It's just that Dalan is young and mature, and his temper is too deep, and the energetic Feline is always at odds with him, which makes Woqi a little headache.
