Chapter 132: Homecoming and Home Condition
As an illegitimate daughter, Susie would hardly call Archduke Conrad's father in front of people, but only His Royal Highness the Duke, and everyone was used to this, and at the moment they were all attentively listening to their own young lady tell these things, which only the core members of Platinum Amber would know. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"His Royal Highness the Duke seems to have no intention of letting General Rodford Blank go on the expedition, saying that Worms is more important, and the private army of the Conrad family cannot easily go on expeditions......
When Susie said this, Wright basically understood that General Rodford, as the right-hand man of the eldest lady Leonie, and the Conrad private army led by his subordinates was the most important force in Leonie's hands, but if the Grand Duke did not agree to Rodeford's expedition, it would mean that the great opportunity to increase his reputation and power was tilted to the side of the second son, Felix.
In addition to the elite private army led by Rodford, Leonie only had about 6,000 pirates under the pirate queen "Lace Hilton".
In contrast, Felix had the support of the Meyer family's private army, Anneze Corbetta, the largest mercenary group leader in Worms, and Charles Vane, one of the four great pirate kings, is said to have befriended him.
In this way, she surpassed Leonie in terms of available force, and her ability to absorb military exploits and fame left the eldest lady far behind.
"But...... What does this have to do with the Souths Chamber of Commerce?" Wright asked the question he didn't understand the most.
Susie smiled mysteriously and explained to her henchmen: "Grandpa Wright doesn't know, the master behind the Soth Chamber of Commerce is the barbarian patriarch on the deserted corner, as far as I know, with the size of his tribe, at least one or two thousand warriors can be mobilized, and the barbarians are no more than the ordinary people of Wotan - they are all bloodthirsty and fierce guys who can fight well. ”
"If the 'Sword Dancer' Rodford really can't go on the expedition, once the tense situation breaks out in Fran, the eldest sister will definitely pull together all the forces that can be coaxed, and when the time comes, we will put this chamber of commerce with the force of a thousand barbarian warriors in front of her, and she will definitely do her best to help the Soth Chamber of Commerce enter the platinum amber. ”
Susie kept a sly smile all the time, brushed the hair between her ears, and finally said, "We just need to bring it up like a spokesperson, and the eldest sister will naturally go to the ring with those who oppose it—so that it will not cost us any effort, and increase our say in platinum amber—why not?"
There was silence in the room, and it seemed that they were all shocked by Susie's foresight, and the girl who finished speaking took a sip of the teacup again, and looked up at the window, it was getting late, so she smiled and looked at the silent old man beside her, and said with a smile:
"Let's stay for dinner tonight, Grandpa Wright, I still have to introduce you to the Soth Chamber of Commerce, maybe you will have to contact Thor in the future. ”
Sol didn't know that anyone was talking about him, and he was holding a grand welcome ceremony in the tavern next to the warehouse in the lower part of Worms, and let Malten take over the entire tavern, which broke the boss, and Malten gave him more gold than he could have earned in one night.
The reason for this is that Ingvar, who had brought the grain back to the Wasteland, finally returned, and with him came Bertha, Tula, Kaziba, and others, whom Thor had not seen for a long time, which made Thor and Morey and the others very excited, and even Kratos showed that he missed the children of his clan very much.
The tavern was steaming, the best steak bought by Malten was grilled and eaten, poured with the sauce prepared by the boss, Bertha ate with a mouth full of oil, there was no such delicious meat in the cliff corner, Winnie on the side looked curiously at this young lady who was not much older than herself, surprised by the other party's bold way of eating.
Tula sat beside Thor with excitement on his face, he had missed Master Nome and his teacher for a long time.
The current Tula, if he hadn't known in advance, wouldn't have been able to tell that he was still a half-old child, and he hadn't seen him in just a few months, and his height had risen like a bamboo knot, and he had grown to nearly one meter eight, taller than most adults in Worms.
Because he was in the tribe, he assisted Diana and Blacktooth in many things, and he became old, and his every move had a kind of calmness that a young man did not have, so even though he was very happy in his heart, he still restrained his excitement in front of Thor and Morey, sat beside Thor and patiently told him what was happening in the tribe on the other side of the sea.
Instead of joining the crowd at the round table in a circle of people enjoying a feast of hot drinks, Thor held in his hand the letters that Ingvar had brought back, written by Diana herself, and as he read and listened to Tula's narration beside him, he had a rough sketch in his mind of the current state of the tribe.
After he left the cliff corner, Black Tooth and his warriors swept away the tribes around the cliff corner, and the population of the entire Soth tribe expanded to nearly 4,000 people, of which about half were adult males, and Diana had to organize people to cut down the surrounding forests, on the one hand, to use them as building materials for houses, and on the other hand, to expand the area of cultivated land.
Tribes that lacked leaders were not idle, but busier.
Thor couldn't help but laugh out loud as she read the letter, in which Diana repeatedly complained that the tribe was full of muscular fools, and she couldn't pick out a few people who could manage it, so she had to pull out the big one among the short ones, and promote the more capable people from the few tribes she had just conquered to the Agricultural Bureau.
This also caused some whispers in the tribe, in the letter Diana also talked about this hidden worry, she seemed to be a little worried, the tribe population has increased, the size has expanded, but Noam has been absent for a long time, which always makes her feel that there is an undercurrent, although the whole is still under the control of herself and the Black Tooth, but secretly there has begun to appear a tendency to form a faction.
Thor bowed slightly, he could understand the current situation of the Thor tribe, the Black Tooth's actions were a little impatient, the new tribe conquered had not even seen his face, and he was in a rapidly expanding tribe, he didn't believe it if he didn't think about it.
But Thor was not worried at all, after coming to Worms, he had seen a wider world, and with the mutation of the body of the god's wisdom that gave him the ability to surpass mortals, some barbarians were no longer in his heart.
"Let's go back with Ingvar next time...... "I secretly had an idea.,It just so happened that he wanted to experiment with some buildings such as the "Sea Tree" that appeared in the system's construction interface.
And with Marten, Morey, and Kratos here, there is no mess on Worms's side, and it is no problem to go back and pack up a few people and come back.
