Chapter 045: The Mysterious Caravan

After one year of appeasement and rectification by George, Amesvalon slowly regained its former prosperity.

George built a number of bazaars and houses near Amesvalon, increasing the population.

The units also continued to absorb the right fighters and expand throughout the year.

Moreover, George set up a special forging center in the fortress, and all craftsmen could enjoy generous treatment.

With strong logistical support, George recruited and trained pikemen, and unlike the bronze spearmen who had preceded them, this time they were equipped with sturdy iron armor and sharp and lightweight spears.

At present, George's army has 3,000 pikemen, 2,000 pikemen, 1,000 archers, 1,500 spear knights, 2,000 longbowmen, 500 elite guards, 500 patrols, and about 10,000 troops.

George was extremely cautious in the selection of soldiers, and attached great importance to military regulations and rewards and punishments, and as long as he made meritorious service, even if he died in battle, his family would receive a bereavement pension.

For the people of troubled times, Ammesvalon instantly became a paradise in everyone's hearts, and fugitives and fugitive slaves from other places continued to join, after all, as long as they can make a fortune through war exploits and farming, this kind of good thing can only be found in Ammesvalon!

In the blink of an eye, summer is another year, and a caravan appears in the bazaar of Amesvalon.

Unlike other caravans, this caravan is too large in number, with more than 800 people, and it is rare to see such a large caravan.

Most of the people in the caravan wore standard knight swords, which were generally equipped with armies, but they appeared in the caravans.

The most amazing thing is that many of the caravan members are wearing cloaks and cannot see their true faces.

Jabad immediately reported the caravan's situation to George.

George was coaxing the child at home at this time, and sure enough, as the doctor said, the child was a boy, as beautiful as a vine, with a faint trace of heroism between his eyebrows and eyes, and George had to go home every night to hug his son.

After hearing Jabad's return, George handed the child to Vine and gathered the crowd to start a discussion.

After many investigations, the caravan only stayed far away from the fortress, and it didn't look like it was going to enter the fortress.

So, George was ready to lead people to test it, so he led 500 archers to advance to the caravan position at night.

To avoid misunderstanding, George hid 500 archers in the valley, while himself and Tina began to approach the caravan on horseback.

The people in the south of the continent all believe in the sun goddess, and most of the strong people in Tiannan are fire control mages, and a few years ago, a powerful fire control mage in Tiannan led his people to conquer the powerful beast clan and married the daughter of the patriarch of the beast clan.

With the help of the Beasts, they have taken over the vast lands of the southern part of the continent and established the Kingdom of the Giant Elephants.

The royal family of the country of the giant elephant is surnamed Song, and the most noble noble beast family in the country of the giant elephant is surnamed Manu. The two families, one master and one auxiliary, co-ruled the Elephant Dynasty.

The leader of the caravan is called Puzani-Manu, a branch of the Manu family, which has had its share of glory moments.

But everything was ruined by the recklessness and brutality of his own daughter, Ani-Manu.

For the future of the family, he married his beloved daughter Ani-Manu to the Manu family in the royal capital, you must know that although your family is also surnamed Manu, it is a branch living in a remote town, if you can climb the Manu clan in the royal capital, then it will help your family soar to the sky.

But his beloved daughter insisted that she should choose her own husband and began to run away from marriage.

It took a lot of effort to tie up this naughty daughter back. The day after he sent his daughter thousands of miles to the royal capital, Ani actually cut off the brother of her future son-in-law!

Puzani was so frightened that his soul flew away, and if he offended the big family, it would not be enough for him and his family to be buried with others, so he used his connections to flee back to the territory, and then fled in the direction of the Western Regions.

Fortunately, he ran fast, and by the time the pursuers arrived, the whole clan had fled.

From a distance, Puzani saw George slowly riding his horse, and immediately prepared the guards for battle, and then walked to the middle of the group and said loudly: "Friends on the other side, please forgive me for waiting for us, may I ask why these two friends came to visit the place late at night?"

George glanced at Puzani and found that although the thin old man opposite looked weak, his eyes were sharp and energetic, and his eyes were full of determination and confidence, and he seemed to be a not simple person.

George saluted the other party with a noble salute, and then said, "Friend from afar, I am the guardian of the fortress of Ammesvalon and the master of this territory, George. What kind of business do you do when you come from afar, and where are you going?"

The Puzani people are old and sophisticated, and obviously don't believe what the bastard boy on the other side says, who is such a young guardian and the owner of the territory?

Puzani thought that he was just a robber and that he would just give him some money, so he said, "I think this young friend must be short of money to spend, guard!

George's face was covered in black lines。。。。。。。 Is this being underestimated? George took the whistle and started howling loudly!

Thinking that the other party was going to call his accomplices to rob, Puzani hurriedly ordered everyone to start guarding.

When Puzani saw 500 archers marching in order, surrounding his caravan in batches and in an orderly manner, he was shocked!

First of all, this unit is uniform, although it is not very clear at night, but the other party basically wears half-body armor, and some of the leading knights are actually equipped with full-body armor, and the troops are neat and orderly, and each horse carries multiple quivers. This is not a bandit at all, it is a well-equipped and well-trained unit!

Although he has a magic weapon to win, if he fights with such an elite cavalry of the other party, even if he wins, it will be a miserable victory, and he doesn't know if the other party has any follow-up troops, if there are still a few such elite troops, then his own people will all be reimbursed here!

Puzani could only lower his posture, immediately dismounted and performed a standard aristocratic etiquette, and then said humbly: "General, please forgive me for my recklessness and faux pas, we are just an ordinary caravan, we will take out 500, not 1000 gold coins, and give them to you, please make it convenient, let us pass!"

George originally wanted to continue to tease the other party, but he was embarrassed to do it when he saw the other party's humble and amiable appearance, so he continued to ask: "I haven't heard of a caravan that spends money before making money! Give me 1,000 gold coins, so what kind of money do you make in business? And how do you explain the standard long sword on your body?"

At this moment, most of Puzani's team suddenly drew their long swords and looked at George warily.

George laughed and said, "What's the matter?

Puzani hurriedly ordered his subordinates to put away their weapons, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, I have misunderstood! How dare we be unfavorable to the general? Since you can see it, general, I will not panic, we are going to the Western Regions to buy war horses, because the amount is huge, all of them are extremely cautious! Please forgive the general for the recklessness of my men!"

George said: "Now that the country of Da Yu is in turmoil and thieves are swarming, if you really go to the Western Regions to buy horses, then please take care! You don't have to give me the money, but when you buy horses and come back, you will share 10% of my money!"

Puzani hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, general, thank you, we will definitely share your share when we come back!" and then urged the team to hurry at night.

Tina asked: "Brother, the Western Regions are not our territory, you let them buy horses and give them to us, don't you just let them drive back the horses, it is better to ask for 1,000 gold coins!"

George said, "You really think they are going to buy horses, but I'm afraid that this group of people is not going to buy horses, but to run for their lives!"

Tina was puzzled and asked, "Brother, are you saying that all these people fled here, and how did you see that?"

George said: "You see the nervous appearance of each of them, as if they have been frightened for many days, most of them fled here in a hurry, just now I said that I will be divided into 10%, although it is not much, but the real businessman will bargain, but just now the thin old man agreed without thinking about it, indicating that they did not dare to stay for a moment!"

Tina asked, "Brother, then let them go to the Western Regions?"

George said: "Hey, it's not easy for everyone in this troubled world, just let them go." Didn't the two of us escape the hunt back then?"

Tina sighed and said, "Brother, the thousand gold coins... ”

George: "Uh... You money junkie!"
