"That makes sense." Commander Odus agreed. "In addition, we should also thoroughly find out the details of this foreign upstart. Senator Candrick, I heard that your eldest son Mikros organized A mercenary group named Silver Raven is very good at gathering information. Why not leave this task to them?"
"Damn old fox!"
Candrick cursed angrily in his heart. Odus saw that his attitude towards the Vizeme Manor was a little too gentle, and was preparing to use Mikros to push the Selkirk family to the front line of confrontation.
But in this case, there is no way to directly resist the commander's order, so he can only bite the bullet and agree: "I will discuss this matter with Miklos personally."
"I hope that the tiger father has no son, and Miklos can take this opportunity to show off himself." Odus said with an expression of "I am very optimistic about your son", and then said to other members of the Business Council, "In view of the strength shown by the other party It is too powerful. You must not act without permission before collecting further information, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences.
At the same time, we impose an economic blockade on him and cut off all business contacts with him. I want him to have money but not be able to buy any supplies. I will see how he develops. "
This is also a common method used by Sambian businessmen, and they have this strength.
As long as their merchant council issues an order, not only Sambian merchants will respond, but even those merchants who have business dealings with Sambia will also have to respond.
Candrick couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
This economic blockade came a little too late.
If it is placed before the ghost wine auction, or if the auction is directly disrupted, it may put huge pressure on the other party.
But now, people's various resources are piled up like mountains, and many of them are transported there personally.
With the current blockade, it will be difficult to see any results within three or two years.
This kind of trouble can certainly not be said now. They can only agree with the other members of the merchant council, but only they themselves know what Xiao Jiujiu is fighting in their stomachs.
"That's it for today." The commander waved his hand and ended the emergency meeting.
This military conflict in the Land of Three Rivers only gave the citizens of Sambia some more stories to talk about after dinner and tea, especially the Nine Rings of Revenge Storm and the Dragon Slaying.
Gavin has also officially changed from an unknown little person to a little trouble worthy of facing up to.
That's all.
They were only there for a while now, and there was no way to eat him.
Gavin wanted to have an impact on them and Sambia, but he was far from qualified.
Even if he is sitting at the intersection of three rivers with an excellent geographical location, and Sambia's merchant ships pass by, does he still have the guts to stop it?
In that case, they can send out an army of mercenaries in an honest and upright manner.
What really keeps the businessmen and parliamentarians in Sambia awake at night is that a piece of fat meat is placed in front of their homes. They can see it but cannot eat it.
The mercenaries captured by Sir Griffin Hill also had sleepless nights because they were worried about their future fate.
After they were captured, they were stripped of all their equipment, leaving only their personal clothing, and were driven to a new village under construction.
The newly built sewer system in the new village came in handy and was used as a temporary prison location.
These sewers are dug very deep, a full three meters and two meters wide. They are all embedded in the stone layer, and the sides are piled up. The rocks coming out from below make these tunnels appear deeper.
When these mercenary prisoners were driven into these tunnels, no one paid attention to them, and their hands and feet were not even bound.
In the absence of special shackles, so many people gathered together, even if they were tied up, they could help each other untie them, so there was no need to worry about it.
Although the clothes are thin, it is midsummer in July, and the temperature and cold are not unbearable. What is terrible is the mosquitoes and flies, especially the former, which are black and black. They come in groups and are not afraid of people at all. They will move up when they see people. Pounce, slap him down, his hands are covered with blood.
They could only rely on the rock walls of the sewer to drive each other away.
"Why is there such a big rocky tunnel here? What do they want to do here? They don't want to bury us alive, do they?"
"Definitely not. Even with the help of a large number of enlightenment trees, they can't dig out such a deep and long tunnel in a day and a half. Who would prepare a tomb for the enemy in advance."
"I just took a closer look. These rock tunnels are dug horizontally and vertically, much like the sewer lines in towns. The excavated stones were not discarded randomly, but were processed very neatly and stacked neatly. If I could guess Yes, they are going to build a village and a town here.”
"Build a village or a town? The area here is not small. If a village or town is built, it will not be a matter of accommodating hundreds of people. It can accommodate thousands of people. Do they have such a large population?"
"This is not a problem for us to worry about. You should still worry about whether you can survive until tomorrow!"
"Don't worry, if they want to kill us, they don't need to put in such a big effort. They can just kill us on the spot by the river. At least for a short time, our lives are not safe."
"Not necessarily, haven't you seen that the one who surrendered us was clearly a ghost knight transformed into a drow, no, it should be a ghost mage. When we were driven away from the battlefield, she was casting undead Manipulating spells, summoning all the souls of the dead, turning them into ghosts, and taking them towards the manor, maybe this is the fate that awaits us."
"Hiss... Are you sure you saw it right? You can't be wrong. I was not the only one who saw it at that time. All the people walking behind saw it."
"Yes, I saw it too!"
"I saw it too!"
"Those damn businessmen lied to us and said that the ghost manor was haunted. They were just pretending to be ghosts and deliberately scaring people. Many people went in and looked at it. It turned out that there were not only ghost knights here, but they could also transform the dead into ghosts. Those bastards should be allowed to... Come and see for yourself, no, just turn them into ghosts."
"It's not that they lied to you, but that we were all deceived by Sir Griffin Hill. After the ghost wine auction, I personally entered the ghost manor. It was indeed just using various music, screams, illusions, magic, etc. The combination of a series of effects was scary, and there really was no ghost seen.”
"How can you be sure that what you see inside is an illusion? And not a real ghost?"
"(⊙o⊙)...You mean that genjutsu is not really genjutsu, but a ghost disguised as genjutsu?"
"It's very possible that these big shots have bad intentions, and all the bad water is flowing!"
"Then what should we do now? If that doesn't work, let's escape! The dozens of Enlightenment trees alone can't see through it. It's very simple for us to work together to get out of here!"
"Shhhhhh... keep your voice down, there are indeed only a few dozen enlightenment trees, but how can you be sure that there are no invisible fey around you? There were so many entanglement spells before, indicating that there are a lot of fey here. Maybe we are now Everyone knows everything about our conversation!”
"hiss……"
The mercenaries around him couldn't help but gasped and fell into silence.
Because this is not a mere guess, but a very possible thing.
The mercenary who was worthy of being sober in the world said quietly: "The most important thing is, how will we leave here after we escape? Are you planning to go back upstream from the Asaba River? Or are you going to walk through hundreds of kilometers of wilderness and return? Sambia? Whether it’s the former or the latter, listen to what’s going on outside first!”
The howling of wolves one after another became the background of his speech.
"May I have your name?"
"My name is Aqil..." As soon as the mercenary said his name, he realized that something was wrong, because the voice did not come from beside him, but from above his head, and it was a strange voice.
The other party is not a captured mercenary.
The mercenary jumped up from the ground, looked up following the sound, and couldn't help but take a breath of air.
Under the light of dawn, a figure gradually emerged from scratch. What came into view was a young, clean, and handsome face. It was slightly thin. It was not really thin, but was caused by the elf-like face shape. The tall body was unworthy He is as strong as a cheetah.
The whole body exudes an invisible charm, which makes people can't help but relax and settle down.
Many people instantly recognized his identity.
Sir Gryphon Hill, owner of Wezeme Manor, dragon slayer, Gavin Nott, the man who can decide their life and death.
Under the halo of many identities, his identity instantly became extremely tall, making him an existence that they had to look up to.
No one knew how long he had been standing by the tunnel. How much of their previous conversation had been overheard by the other party made him feel uneasy.
"Achil Rahn has met Sir Sir." The mercenary who announced his home knelt down on one knee and expressed his surrender and respect to Gavin.
People who could see Gavin followed suit.
"Very good." Gavin nodded and said, "I hope you will still be as clear-headed as you are now and understand what choice is best for you."
After leaving these meaningless words, the energy dragon wings stretched out and brought him into the air. When he rose to about ten meters, the battle armor had been put on, emitting a dazzling white light, covering up the light of dawn.
Attracting the attention of all the captured mercenaries, he slowly said: "Since you have chosen to accept the mercenary and attack my territory, you must be prepared to fail in the battle and pay the price.
But I am a kind man and can now offer you a new option.
Accept my employment and work for me for three years. After three years, you can come and go as you please.
During these three years, food and housing are taken care of, and commissions are calculated according to Odulin's market price. Different types of work enjoy different prices. Farmers have farmers' prices, experts have experts' money. If they are excellent craftsmen or warriors, the price is higher.
The wages are paid every month, but they are not distributed to you, but directly to your family members.
So, wait a minute, when you fill in your family's address, it must be true, otherwise the salary will not be delivered, or it will be delivered to the wrong person, and you will be responsible for the consequences.
Now is the free question time. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them. Even if they are excessive, I will forgive you. "
Eighteen hundred people sounds like a lot, but if they are managed together and clustered together, they only occupy three to four hundred meters of sewer channels.
With a little use of magical power, Gavin's voice is enough to reach everyone's ears.
His words were like a bomb, exploding directly among the captured mercenaries, and their breathing became heavier involuntarily.
Odulin's employment price alone is sufficient.
Where is Odulin?
The capital of Sambia.
Among the six core cities in Sambia, it is the only inland city, the most populous and the busiest city.
Legend has it that you will never have to worry about finding a place to work.
Unless there is one thing, that is you are too lazy.
Commission prices are 30% higher than those in the other five major cities and several times higher than those in rural towns.
The employment price in Sambia is one of the highest standards not only in the surrounding area, but even in the entire Falling Star Sea area.
You are a genius, remember in one second: Red Oasis:
