At noon on October 30, Honor Galloping Horse met Vianice Oak again. Compared with the previous meeting once every half month, the two of them have been in close contact recently.
In the forest, the elf who just saw Hornier asked with concern: "You are not followed by Tails, are you? Recently, there are werewolf troops near Inumori City."
"Them?" Honier sneered upon hearing this, "If they knew that I came to buy herbs from you, I'm afraid they would escort me here."
"Huh?" Vianis couldn't believe it. "How did I hear that the orcs and the humans in the Iowa Valley just fought two wars? They haven't run out of ammunition and food yet!"
"Indeed, but the worst thing is not the front line, but the rear." The female knight shook her head, her face turned ugly, "The preparations of the Orc King's Court exceeded everyone's imagination. I'm afraid that by the end of the year, regardless of whether they have captured the Iowa Valley, , even Hindukel is finished."
Two months ago in the morning, after the local rat people received the order from the royal court, many chambers of commerce in Hindukel received large trade orders for food, magic potions, ores, magic pattern products, and huge orders on the eve of the war. The demand for materials has contributed to the illusory commodity prosperity. In order to pursue these orders, various tribes rushed to stipulate large default clauses in contracts, and even borrowed money from the Temple of Fortune and the Royal Court Tribe to raise materials.
"However, more and more royal troops are occupying various traffic arteries in Hindukel. They exploit merchants and forcefully buy large amounts of important supplies at extremely low prices," Jenny said with a grimace.
"Are they too greedy?" The elves were a little incredulous about the profit-seeking behavior of the merchants. "But if the contract cannot be delivered because of the war, can the buyer and seller understand each other?"
"It's not just a matter of contracts. The Chamber of Commerce has exchanged all the funds on hand for materials for these contracts. Now the workshops have no money to buy raw materials, the merchants' materials cannot leave the warehouse, and the caravan's goods and gold coins are detained on the road." Honier became more and more powerless as he spoke, "Blocking merchants' warehouses, blocking trade routes, and forcing purchases and sales. I'm afraid Wang Ting had already planned to strangle the entire basin a few months ago."
Now the elf is also silent. In her eyes, the local orc tribe is just an oppressor who has a grudge against her. However, what she depends on for a living is precisely the supplies given by these local orcs.
Honier, who had been silent for a long time, raised his head and confessed to the elf: "I came to you this time just to ask if there are any magic plants here. I want to buy them as much as possible. As for food, I brought two rings. Yeah, I’m afraid I don’t know when I’ll come back next time.”
"Um...actually, I brought someone here for you this time." The elf looked back at the trees not far away, "You know this person..."
"Cousin Hornier, we haven't seen each other for a long time!" Jenny came out at the right time and looked at Hornier with a smile, "I heard that the local orcs are in some trouble. Coincidentally, I recently established a chamber of commerce. And we have found local transportation channels that can help local chambers of commerce and tribes survive this crisis.”
Honier looked at Jenny and then at the elf Viannis. He couldn't imagine how the two people got together. However, what was even more bizarre than their acquaintance was that Jenny Benma actually said that she had a complete relationship in the local area. transportation channels.
"You? Channel? In Hindukel?"
Hornier's question was not to question Jenny, but to confirm whether he heard correctly.
Jenny smiled and nodded: "Yes, my channel has been activated now. The first batch of potions ordered by Tutor Rousseff will probably arrive this afternoon!"
"Today?" Hornier, who had just met Rousseff the day before yesterday, had disbelief written all over his face.
…
When Jenny and Vianis returned to Xingba Castle, they saw various types of carriages parked in the yard. Knights and flame priests came in and out. All kinds of ordnance and weapons were neatly stacked, and the demon-free people held them. More than a dozen beasts of burden entered one after another.
Looking at the busy scene in front of them, both of them knew that there was bound to be a war. When they entered the underground level of the auxiliary fort, which was outside the door of the command room dedicated to the Yeqi City army, they heard the voice of the magic pattern tiger.
"Lant, I think my son should miss me very much now. I should go back and see him quickly. I'm really worried about leaving such a poor kid to those orcs!"
Rant did not respond to the magic pattern tiger's words, but simply asked: "Isn't the food good here?"
"It's okay, but as you know, this big forest is humid and there are few monsters, which is very unfavorable for me to break through. I think if I can break through as soon as possible, it will be good for the entire territory!"
The girls quietly entered the command room and saw the huge magic-patterned tiger lying on the ground, constantly rubbing its big head against Lant. In various coquettish states, it was impossible to tell that it was a ferocious beast.
When Lant saw the two girls coming back, he was about to end the cat-playing session for the day. He smiled and said to Tiger, "I'm going to stay here for the next two days. When I go back, can you come with me?"
Upon hearing this, Tiger quickly sat up and barely touched the roof with his tall head, "Then it's settled, you can't go back on it!"
After getting time to go home, the magic pattern tiger happily left the command room and ran to the restaurant to cook. Jenny waited until she ran far away before asking Lant in a low voice: "Sir, you let the magic pattern tiger leave like this, who will do it after that?" Come to protect Viannis?"
"Soon there will be hundreds of cavalry stationed in this camp." Lant looked at Jenny and said with a smile, "In addition, the intermediate Hammer Willow Hoover will arrive soon. He will serve as the guardian tree of Vianis. As for the mount, , let’s find it for her later.”
When the girl heard that Lant's arrangements were so perfect, she knew that there was going to be a war, and quickly asked: "You're not going to let a few of us lead a charge with hundreds of cavalry, are you?"
"Of course not, but we do have to rely on the name of the first Hindu Kel gang!" Rant said with a smile.
"Huh?" Vianis frowned upon hearing this, "You know how strong my people are. They can barely survive in the forest. Once they leave the forest, they won't be able to fight head-on with the orc army! "
Lant said with a smile: "Don't worry, we will face the orcs head-on. With my army, what you have to do is to help Jiao Lang fight against the royal court."
According to the information collected in the past few days, the Orc Royal Court is trying to force the local orcs to completely become vassals of the Royal Court through both military and economic aspects. Lant's plan is to let Vianis' team cooperate with the local strength. In fact, it stirs up and explodes conflicts between the two sides.
As soon as she heard that she wanted to help the local orcs, especially the Scorched Wolf clan, Vianis suddenly darkened her face, "Lant, do I have to cooperate with those dogs?"
"It's not about cooperating with Jiao Lang, but about attacking the royal court!" Lant showed a sly smile, which made the elf in front of him feel a little scary.
