Binelle showed a slight smile, but the expression on her face soon faded.
"Mr. Lin Zhihe." She paused slightly, and then said softly as if she had made up her mind, "I know that your hotel has done some special business, so you have many such friends - although you are ashamed to say it, But our current intelligence has actually reached the limit of what we can reach, and the situation in deeper war areas is already in our intelligence blind spot, so I want to ask you if there is any way to obtain this information."
Here it comes, it’s my ex’s fault again.
Although this period of experience has almost made me forget about this incident, my previous status as an innkeeper seems to be unusual, and now even the princess seems to be seeking this status.
But it's a pity that my identity was not obtained through legitimate channels, so naturally I didn't know about this matter at all. Even the businessman who actually came here some time ago was fooled into leaving.
The most important thing is that if there are no passing merchants, I have no way to understand the situation in that place.
I frowned slightly and said: "The impact of the war is much wider than imagined, and my news channels have also been greatly affected. The last time my hotel hosted a caravan was several months ago - those guys But it’s quite sharp.”
"Really..." Binelle sighed slightly, "I understand."
"Is there anything you need my help with recently in the city?"
Binelle rubbed her temples slightly, and then said: "The biggest problem in the city now is the resettlement of the refugees. From this aspect, there is really nothing that combat talents can do."
"If there is new information, I will pay attention to it." I nodded and said clearly.
Before leaving, I tilted my head slightly and looked at the map next to me.
Judging from the above situation, the second prince and the eldest prince now seem to be evenly matched. However, it is obvious that the second prince's army has been divided. Some towns have lost support to each other before, and the second prince What we are doing is also breaking through these divisions.
There were many such small sieges on the battlefield, and most of those under siege were the second prince's small troops.
In contrast, the eldest prince's large wave of troops had been harassed by the second prince's guerrilla strategy for a long time, and were gradually entering pocket formations.
The two completely opposite strategies made this protracted war even more complicated and confusing.
What the two are competing for now is patience. The focus of this war has been all about the eldest prince entering the main force of the pocket formation.
If this army is eaten by the second prince at a small cost, then the small group of besieged troops is a good move to attract attention. But if this war ends with the second prince's tragic victory or even complete defeat, then the princess side The troops will have to enter a state of war in advance.
But the most important thing right now...is the weather.
The weather has gradually turned cooler, and winter is about to begin. The Immortal Fortress has just had an autumn harvest, and its food reserves are quite sufficient, and normal food trade is also going on.
After entering winter, the pace of war will inevitably come to a standstill due to weather conditions.
The victory of this war will obviously determine the temporary division of power. If it can proceed smoothly, no matter which side is in the winter, they can consolidate their sphere of influence - building defensive fortifications is faster in winter than in other seasons. , the role of the Ice and Snow Magician will be magnified in winter.
The first stage of the war is probably coming to an end soon.
And the most important thing is, I don’t think the second prince can succeed. After all, in the eldest prince’s army, the creatures that were infected by the alien or the alchemist’s colossus are all difficult to be killed by low-level professionals. dealt with.
not to mention······
There are many situations where low-level professionals have been eroded so far. The high-level professionals of the Second Prince cannot ultimately become the key to deciding the war.
When I left the study, I regretted not asking about the current situation of the legendary power in the country, but after thinking about it carefully, I felt relieved.
After all, I cannot directly participate in the battle between the second prince and the eldest prince. Such speculation can only determine the final strategy based on the situation.
Of course, I usually have the best and worst plans for this kind of thing...
The moment I was on the streets of the city, the roar of people had already reached my ears. If I didn't know the city I was in beforehand, I might have thought it was the central commercial city of a certain country.
However, not long ago, this immortal fortress was just a border city that once existed as a military fortress. Although there were businesses coming in and out, most of them were used as a transit station for rest. Both the infrastructure and the overall city size were also poor. It's just like a medium-sized city.
That princess probably wants to develop well, right?
I sighed slightly.
In the end, I drove a carriage to a familiar store to replenish daily supplies. However, when I arrived, I found that many of the stores I was familiar with had been sold to outside businessmen.
Although the types and prices of ingredients have not changed much, such rapid changes also make me feel a lot of emotion.
The arrival of foreign businessmen also gave my hotel renovation plan a new direction. They brought more diverse products and more choices.
While thinking this way, he also decided on the hotel's expansion plan, and also contacted foreign businessmen to discuss the price of gold.
At this time, gold as the basic currency material will always be hard currency. After all, most of the currency circulated in the empire is not pure gold and silver, but mixed with some cheap metals for use as symbols. In peacetime This kind of currency naturally has credibility, but the current war has caused the currency's credibility to decline. Businessmen are naturally the most sensitive to this kind of perception. However, before the outcome is said to be a foregone conclusion, some people have already begun to purchase gold in large quantities. Come and make a fortune in the next dynasty or wait for the war to pass and the currency to regain its credibility and survive this difficult period smoothly.
At the gate of the city, there are still a large number of refugees waiting to board the plane, but the panic on their faces has disappeared a lot, and those passing by are refugees who are carrying construction materials for their new jobs.
The sight before me made me breathe a sigh of relief.
"Now, maybe we can be quiet for a while, right?"
