Chapter 100 Food Reserves

In the distance directly in front of him, phalanxes of ironclad were slowly moving towards the end of the horizon. The first battle between the Delman Empire and the Kingdom of Norsland ended in a resounding victory for the Delman Empire.

In this battle, Tyron William led the army of the 30,000 Delman Empire and easily swept the border defenders of the Kingdom of Norsland. At least nearly 3,000 Norslan warriors and civilians were slaughtered, but the cost of this victory was very small, and even the 200 wounded were not filled.

The magic crystal cannon that had just been shown on the battlefield had already demonstrated the power of this terrifying war machine. It was precisely because of the good performance of the magic crystal cannon in this battle that Taryn William liked this weapon even more.

"Hold on to the rear! This weapon should equip every castle, every army!" Tyronn William urged his horse forward, and commanded one of his henchmen beside him, "After this victory, I think Northland will surrender soon." ”

"When we get back, I want at least a hundred new can......nons!" he continued, "the next battle will not be so easy! Therefore, the situation of the war cannot be reversed in such a way!"

Not only that, but there is also the problem of supply, to establish a supply line because of the Wilson Mountains, it has also become extremely difficult, which is why the empire has been reluctant to do so many years, the last expedition under the urging of Emperor Caith was interrupted because of supplies, and many soldiers died tragically in a foreign land.

At this time, in the Eagle Castle in Golgaron, the capital of the Kingdom of Norsland.

"As long as Taryn William leads his main force north, there is a risk that our border will be breached. This is a loss for us, because war destroys our carefully paved roads and destroys our crops. He pointed to a very large and detailed military map, pointing to the location of the border with the Empire.

"The best thing to do is to get most of our men south in advance and assemble on the border...... Always ready to fight. Holf said from the side

If Tyron William's desire to attack the Kingdom of Norsland was only a rough plan, then King Gravel was already making a very precise battle plan when he prepared to fight the Delman Empire.

But who would have thought that the soldiers were so fast, that Tyranny's imperial army had already swung north, and suddenly killed the border of the Kingdom of Norsland.

On the other hand, in Larma, the capital of the Kurut Kingdom, a middle-aged merchant blew hot air on his hands, wrapped the fur from the grassland, looked up at the sign above his head, and walked into the rice shop.

The guys inside hurriedly came over to greet them, and those who came to buy rice at this time must be very, very rich businessmen. After all, the current price of rice in the Kurut Kingdom is really not cheap.

As long as we wait until next year's harvest season and the new grain is harvested, the price of rice will be immediately lowered.

However, since the summer, the price of rice, which should have fallen, has become incomprehensible due to the frenzied acquisition of the Kingdom of Norsland. Now, these grains are really worth a lot of money, and there are countless merchants from the Norsland Kingdom who come to the door to buy them, so people really don't know what the other party is thinking.

"How much grain do you have left to sell...... In the next, I want it all. As soon as the merchant entered the door, he did not talk nonsense, but directly stated his purpose.

When the guy heard this, the smile on his face stiffened, this kind of Norsland Kingdom merchants who came to "smash the field" have been increasing more and more recently, and as soon as they came, they said that they would buy all the grain, and they simply looked like they would not leave a way for others to live.

But the one who came was a guest, and this guy didn't want to offend these big businessmen, after all, this time next year, maybe the price of grain would fall, and he would have to rely on these merchants who bought grain to eat.

So he squeezed out a somewhat reluctant smile and explained: "Sir, you may not be clear, because of the drastic reduction in grain reserves, our King has issued a purchase restriction order, and you can only purchase a maximum of fifty barrels of grain at a time......"

The barrel is actually a method of measuring grain by volume, which is not accurate or scientific. However, because each country has its own weights and measures, such a thing can only be endured.

Now the Kingdom of Norsland has begun to popularize new weights and measures, various length units and weight units, which suddenly make it more convenient for those who use them. Coupled with the widespread use of the new figures, all the realms under King Gravel have made great strides in their calculations.

"Can't you be accommodating?" the merchant pressed a gold coin on the coffee table beside him, and the golden light shook so that he could not open his eyes.

"One hundred barrels, this is the biggest business we dare to do. The fellow looked around before he pocketed the gold coin and said, "The price is the biggest deal this morning." ”

Everyone knows that the grain is not worried about selling now, and everyone is staring at this piece. Locals are driving up prices, outsiders are frantically buying, the food hoarded in various rice stores is drastically decreasing, and the kingdom of Kurut has even begun to fall into a state of partial shortage.

"Okay!" the merchant was also very talkative, nodded and agreed to the deal. He stood up and said, "Then please pack up all this grain, and I will transport it away at once." ”

There was no way, although he was very distressed, but he could only take out the money bag from his pocket and put a stack of gold coins on the table for the other party to examine carefully. Such a hundred barrels of grain may not have been worth even a gold coin in previous years, but now it is so expensive. Not only that, but in addition to racking their brains to buy a large amount of grain, the Kingdom of Norsland is also frantically buying meat products from the steppe: not only fresh, live cattle and sheep, but even jerky.

After all, the population of the Kingdom of Norsland is growing, and King Gravel has ordered a large amount of grain to be stockpiled before winter.

In every corner of the Kurut Kingdom, in every rice shop, there are merchants of the Kingdom of Norsland frantically purchasing. They hardly count the price, as long as the other party dares to sell, they dare to pay for the grain sold.

The bustling streets of Galgalon have happy smiles on everyone's faces. In the past, this kind of smile was rare to see, but now almost every Norsland Kingdom is full of hope for the future, so the smile is their most common expression.
