"Your Majesty, was our behavior just now too rude..." Amy whispered beside Ella.
Ella was happy that she had successfully traded two hundred Nomis horses. After hearing what Amy said, she replied confidently: "It doesn't matter. Didn't we just successfully trade the goods? In this way, they can know
We are indeed not here to rob! As long as we spread our reputation like this, more and more businessmen will come to us for business!"
…
Freeman was sitting on a big rock on the side of the road with his head in his arms. His men were counting the gold coins stolen by the group of robbers just now, as well as the goods that were forcibly stuffed in.
"Boss, I counted it clearly, it's exactly two hundred Nomis horses, not one cent more, not one cent less!"
The group of robbers seemed to number around 500 people. If Freeman's original plan was to give each robber one hundred fen, he would spend 50,000 fen, which is 250 nomis.
In this way, I still spent fifty nomism horses less.
"What about the goods?"
"They are indeed some fine furs and mead. If they were further away from the north, they should be able to sell for a good price..."
There was a cry in Freeman's voice: "But Master Freaveney specializes in the spice trade! If he knew that we spent 200 meters to buy these completely unrelated goods, we would all be scolded.
!”
"Then...Boss, what should we do?"
Freeman suddenly stood up. He walked to the box where the gold coins were placed, took out the gold coins inside, and stuffed them into the hands of his men one by one.
"Listen, we didn't trade with anyone. We were robbed by robbers. All the gold coins were robbed by the bold robbers, and not a single Nomisma was left. Do you understand?"
"This..." The group of subordinates looked at each other with gold coins in their hands, "Boss, does this really not matter?"
"There are too many robbers, and there is nothing we can do! In this case, the goods are still left, and Lord Freavine may be happy! The next step is for him to hire people to suppress the bandits!
"
"Then these goods were forced upon us..."
"Pour it out, bury it, or you can take some and sell it if there is a market." Freeman's voice began to tremble again, but this time it was because of excitement, "Thanks to these bandits, we... are going to make a fortune.
."
Soon, a rumor appeared in Hamburg that a group of vicious bandits had appeared nearby. According to the descriptions of merchants who encountered them, those who had not transported the caravan well were robbed of all their gold coins;
The caravan was used as a target for selling stolen goods; and the caravan with extremely poor transportation must have become "stolen goods" in the hands of the bandits and could no longer make a sound.
In the Duke of Angria, Duke Otto was anxiously waiting for the arrival of war supplies, but what was waiting for him was Valhalla, who ran back dejectedly.
"What did you say? The supplies were robbed again? Are you sure that is really the 'Triumpher' of the Pirate Kingdom?"
Valhalla nodded desperately. In fact, he was not sure of the identity of the woman at that time, but after abandoning the goods and escaping back, he could only insist that the woman was the "Triumpher" who defeated the "Invincible".
Duke Otto's brows sunk deeply: "Stade and Hamburg, these two places have been attacked successively. It should be determined that the 'Triumpher' has been aware of our plan."
An officer said next to Duke Otto: "I just received news that the pirates who invaded Stade not only did not retreat, but instead set up a camp in Stade, with a number of about five hundred people. In addition, there were more than 500 pirates outside Hamburg.
Five hundred people, I judge that the total number of troops around the 'Triumpher' should only be around a thousand people."
Duke Otto fell into deep thought. The "Triumphers" are the largest force in the Pirate Kingdom since the Pirate King. Their status is no less than that of Ragnar's four sons, and their reputation is even greater than that of the "Invincibles".
Above Gna. If she really launched a military operation against the Alemanni Federation, there should never be only a thousand people.
Guqin
Thinking of this, Duke Otto shook his head: "Don't be blinded by appearances. The 'Triumpher' is the second-largest figure in the Pirate Kingdom after the Pirate King and rules the Kingdom of Sweden. She came to attack the Alemannic Federation.
Do you think it’s possible to bring only a thousand people?”
The officer was startled: "What does the Duke mean?"
"I have long heard that the 'Triumphant' is very cunning. The thousand people on the surface are probably just a bait. And we still don't know where her large army is stationed. If we rashly
If you attack, you will only fall into a trap and die in vain."
"Then...what should we do?"
"We need to find out where her large army is first. In addition, send people immediately to ask for help from our allies. If the 'Triumpher' has really arrived here, our military strength alone is far from enough!"
"But... Your Excellency, if you continue to let the Triumphant go, our route for receiving supplies from Hamburg will be completely cut off! Without those supplies, we will not be able to conduct any large-scale military operations!"
Duke Otto pondered for a while. Then he raised his head, looked at the officer, then at Valhalla, and asked: "Do you know the village of Brizania?"
It was a small village growing radishes. Although it was close to the Dukedom of Anglia, it was one of the territories directly belonging to the Count of Île-de-France. Valhalla and the others didn't know why Otto suddenly mentioned it, but they seemed to understand the location.
nodded.
"Then do you know that there is a small castle near the village of Brizania, where the Count of Île-de-France has stored a large amount of supplies?" Duke Otto looked at Valhalla and said, "Valhalla, I will give you a thousand
Man, go and 'ship' those goods here."
"Wait, wait a minute! Your Majesty the Duke, are you kidding?" Valhalla panicked. He knew that the castle was located in the interior of the Alemannic Federation far away from the border, so there were not many people stationed there. But that was
The Count of Île-de-France is the property of the current consul of the Alemannic Federation! How dare Duke Otto touch it?
Duke Otto saw the thoughts in Valhalla's mind and chuckled: "It wasn't me, it was the lord of the Pirate Kingdom who robbed the village of Brizania, found the nearby castle, and robbed these supplies...
Do you understand what I mean?"
Valhalla reacted immediately: "I understand! I will send someone to buy a toga right away!"
At the same time, Hamburg.
The mayor, who was restless because of the banditry, finally waited for the messenger sent to find the Count of Île-de-France. Before the messenger could take a breath, the mayor asked anxiously: "Where are the troops of the Count of Île-de-France?"
?”
The messenger replied hesitantly: "The Count of Île-de-France did not come with any troops. However... he asked me to bring a letter, saying that he would let the mayor read it before sending it to all the nearby lords!"
"Here? Are you ordering the lords to lead troops to suppress the bandits? That's fine. After all, he is the governor of the Alemannic Federation, and his words should be of some use. As long as a lord is willing to lead troops, he can come.
Let’s leave those thieves wearing togas, where is Xin?”
"On the way back, all the coins in the villain's body were snatched away by a group of bandits wearing togas. The villain was only asked to bring back these things..."
The messenger handed over some smoked fish with trembling hands. The mayor's eyes turned black and he fainted.
On the other side, Ella was holding the letter and looking around.
"These barbarians from the north, just because someone else protected this letter a little more closely, they took it as a treasure... They didn't say who it was addressed to. Let me see what's written inside."
The letter read: "In view of the fact that radish represents all the virtues in the world, especially in its extremely fine texture when cooked; and in view of the fact that radish can cure any known human disease, therefore, I,
The Governor of the Alemannic Federation announced that radish will be used as currency throughout the country from now on, replacing gold, silver, and any other precious metals. All the above-mentioned precious metals should be immediately handed over to the Governor for disposal."
"Gu...a prank?"
Ella wiped her eyes in disbelief. But the end of the letter was solemnly stamped with the seal of the Consul of the Alemannic Federation.
