Transportation in other worlds has always been a tragedy.
If a person wants to travel far away, it is absolutely impossible to just leave. If the people want to travel far away and expand into a group, it will be a disaster - if they can't solve the problem of eating, drinking and eating, they will die in half.
It is inevitable on the road.
The day after Lorraine bought the last batch of female slaves, Seth evacuated all his personnel in the city to the villages and towns outside the city. There were less than fifty people, but the town could hardly accommodate them, and they were all crowded into a temporary warehouse.
Inside.
Transporting people and supplies over long distances is a very complicated matter. It is quite normal to be without food or clothing, to be helpless, to get lost, to be attacked, and to get lost along the way.
When Seth was overwhelmed by a pile of messy things, he noticed a carriage coming from the temporary warehouse. Several people jumped out of the carriage, causing Seth to shout in surprise, "Father, why are you here?"
?”
Rubio, a profiteer who has been living in the Black Forest for half his life, looked left and right, moved his arms, legs and feet, and exclaimed: "This is the Banshee Castle. This is my first time coming back. It doesn't feel too good."
Seth's face darkened and he said in a deep voice: "Father, this is a town outside the Banshee Castle. The walls of the Banshee Castle are three miles away. You haven't answered my question yet?"
Rubio chuckled, "Half a month ago, Ms. Inisa received a reply from Mr. Hugo. She predicted that you should evacuate, so she sent us out to prepare for the response. Without an old bone like me, you can make arrangements.
Everything?"
Seth opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. Rubio stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, saying: "I just called out the 'Holy Light' and greeted Mr. Hugo. He said that as long as we can retreat safely this time, we will come out later
You won’t have to worry about fighting.”
Seth withdrew nearly fifty people from the Banshee Castle, plus hundreds of members of his own transportation team. There was still a large amount of cargo that needed to be transported. Under the heavy transportation task, potential hostile dangers had to be considered, and escort guards needed to be arranged.
.
In the real world, a few trucks can solve all problems. But in this other world, not to mention the lack of suitable transportation, even the roads are uneven. None of these tasks can be easily solved.
Rubio was still laughing at the door of the warehouse, but after entering the warehouse and counting the goods and people, he became sullen. He was stooped and unattractive, but Seth was a little scared as he followed behind him.
"Father, do you think my arrangement..."
"Your arrangement is bullshit. Most of the people in the team are unfamiliar with each other, and the rations they bring are at least half short. Such a team will fall apart halfway." Rubio reprimanded unceremoniously.
"Aren't there supplies along the way?" Seth defended in a low voice.
Rubio rolled his eyes and said, "You'd better make arrangements as if there are no supplies along the way, otherwise something bad will happen."
The transportation capacity that horse-drawn carriages can provide is in short supply, the supplies purchased are also very limited, and the number of people and goods to be transported exceeds the standard. Rubio and his son are faced with a lot of problems.
Outside the town where the temporary warehouse is located, little Powell, who was covered in frost, had just dismounted and crossed a bare dirt slope to look at the warehouse. One of his brothers came out of the town and walked up the dirt slope to report...
"This is the town, and all those people are in it. I asked the guards in the town and found out that a group of strangers rented the warehouse two months ago and hired a lot of people to transport goods north. They transport a large amount
, transporting at least one or two hundred cars back and forth.
In addition to transporting goods, they also transported people, but I don't know how much they transported. Some carriages did not stop when they came out of the city and went straight north. But the group of female slaves we caught up with last night were all here.
I have counted them from far away, and this group of people and goods is extremely large. There are not enough carriages in the town, so they will not be able to leave for a while, and it will take at least half a month to leave."
When Little Powell heard the words "The amount of people and goods is extremely large," he immediately asked sharply: "Are the black market transactions still going on in the city?"
His brother was stunned, "I need to ask. What's wrong?"
"Forget it, no need to ask." Little Powell shook his head, "I asked the slave traders last night and they didn't receive any more orders for the next batch of slaves. Victor Hugo is already here.
Two months later, he is going to run away."
His brother was even more stunned and asked: "Should we report to Mr. Phils immediately?"
"But we still don't know where Victor Hugo is?" Little Powell was also thinking, "What can we do if we report to Mr. Phils?"
But his brother replied: "Previously, Mr. Phils was too scrupulous and did not dare to take action because the dignitaries in the city were still doing business with that Hugo. But now that the transaction is over, maybe we can turn around and grab one."
Bundle."
Little Powell's eyes suddenly lit up, "Yes, the business is over, no one will stop us from grabbing a handful. I don't believe Victor Hugo can hold back. If he doesn't come out, his men and
All the goods will have to be lost."
Thinking about the large number of people and goods stored in the warehouse, Little Powell and his brother became more and more excited, and their smiles gradually became ferocious. This is a matter of fame and fortune, and nothing can make a fortune like robbery.
"It's definitely not enough for us brothers to do this." Little Powell thought for a while and felt that he still had to go back and recruit some people, especially Old Bank of the Wizarding Group and report to Louis Firth.
Leaving his brother to continue watching, little Powell turned around and mounted his horse to return to the city. It was still morning, and he expected to lead his team back before noon, which would take about two hours.
In the temporary warehouse in the town, Rubio, who had just arrived, waved his hand and ordered to his son: "Let's go, let's go immediately. We have mobilized all the people, and we can't stay any longer."
"Why?" Seth was puzzled. His father had just emphasized the serious consequences of being unprepared for a large number of long trips, but in the blink of an eye Rubio would immediately pull the team on the road.
But Rubio said with great determination: "I have been in business all my life, and I owe my survival to my cowardice.
If no one wants to harm us, we can at most have a hard time on the road. But if someone wants to harm us, once they find out that everyone in the city has run away, do you think they will chase after us?"
Seth was speechless again, hesitated for a while and said: "But we don't have that many carriages. If we want to transport people, we can't transport goods. If we want to transport goods, we can't transport people."
Rubio snorted and sneered: "Go spend money and ask the people in this town to prepare lunch for us and prepare dry food for the road. Buy all their big animals so that we can all be fed and clothed."
Feed the horses and put the weak ones on the cart. Carry away the goods that can be carried, and simply burn the ones that cannot be carried. Just transport the people away."
Rubio's decisiveness gave Seth the illusion of unrecognizability. He called out the 'Holy Light' to confirm with Zhou Qingfeng, and the answer he received was - 'Don't worry about those pots and jars, burn the excess goods, and focus on transporting people. This order is
I ordered it.'
What is a trench? This is a trench!
The supplies that were finally procured will be burned as soon as something is found to be wrong.
Seth couldn't help but weakly persuaded: "Master Hugo, if we scare ourselves, wouldn't it be in vain?"
"The valuable goods have been shipped away in advance, and most of the remaining materials are worthless oats. They are only worth a hundred gold coins. If they are burned, they will be burned in vain. In short, they cannot be left behind."
A hundred gold coins are still worthless? Seth felt distressed when he heard this number, "Master, maybe we can resell it to people in the town? Less loss."
"No, we are transporting the food away just to increase the enemy's difficulties. We must not leave any food behind to support the enemy. Obey the order and burn it!" Zhou Qingfeng was nowhere to be found, but the order issued from the information network was firm!
