099 Silver Hand
While Karen was thinking about getting rid of the Silver Hand, the Silver Hand was also thinking about the Goblin Forest.
To be precise, it should be a chamber of commerce in the southernmost city of the Silver Hand [Sand Silver].
The system of the Silver Hand is not the same as that of the Kingdom of Bourbon, as a merchant kingdom, their political system is similar to that of ancient Rome in Karen's previous life, and it is not the king who is in charge, but the parliament!
The Council is made up of the various chambers of commerce of the Silver Hand, which collectively govern the commercial nation of the Silver Hand.
The central government has a central council, and the localities also have local councils.
It seems that this kind of political system seems to be quite advanced and modern, but in the final analysis, it is an oligarchic [congratulations] system, and the real power is still in the hands of the oligarchs.
However, under this political system, Silver Hand is actually a moderate country.
Whether it is internal or external negotiations, they are mainly based on the exchange of interests, and most of them are frauds, but there are few wars, unless they encounter a special situation.
Well, for example, when they encounter someone weaker than them, they can press and beat them wantonly.
When the cost of war is low and the benefits obtained are high, they also don't mind war, and everything is based on interests.
So when Karen took down the Goblin Forest, Silver Wenger, who was in control of the Goblin Forest and the council member of [Silver Sand] City, understood the situation for the first time, and began to collect information on this matter in all directions, and handed over the information to the think tank under his command, so that they could make various assessments of this matter.
Assess both their own losses, as well as Karen's strength, and the price they have to pay to solve this matter violently.
In the past three days, the reason why there has been no reaction on the Silver Hand side is because Silver Wenger is busy with this.
On the third day after Karen took over the Goblin Forest, the goblin named Wenger got the assessment report from his own think tank.
Dear Mr. Arsene Wenger,
According to the information from all sides, the undead forces that occupied the Goblin Forest dispatched a total of tens of thousands of undead in that battle, two hundred to three hundred second-order undead, and about twenty third-order undead.
And the other party seems to have the ability to transform the dead into the undead in a short period of time.
It is conservatively estimated that in order to successfully take the Goblin Forest, it is necessary to dispatch hundreds of third-order warriors, thousands of second-order warriors, and 20,000 first-order warriors, the cost of the war is huge, and mining the minerals of the Goblin Forest after winning it also requires a lot of capital investment, and the Goblin Forest is in an awkward position, so it is not recommended that you use violence.
……
There is also a long analysis below, listing the expected human and material costs of using violent means, as well as the benefits that Wenger can reap after the war is over, and giving various suggestions.
All in all, the conclusion is that it is not advisable for Wenger to use violence, and it is best to use gentle means.
And looking at the report, Wenger fell into deep thought.
As it stands, it's impossible for him to use violence to retake the Goblin Forest, and the cost is too high.
And let him go and contact Karen who occupies the Goblin Forest, he is not very interested.
For him, there are two things in the Goblin Forest that make him more interested, one is ore, and the other is the trade market for the Bourbon Kingdom that he and the Ghost were originally going to build.
But now that a necromancer has been killed, the ghosts have been killed to the point that they don't know where they are, and their plans are naturally in vain, plus the necromancer is notoriously difficult to reach.
In this case, Wenger would not bother to make contact with Karen.
At this time, he plans to use another method to recover his losses, and the way he can recover his losses is to sell all the minerals on this side of the Goblin Forest, before the [Sand Silver] side has any information about the goblins!
As for who to sell to, Arsene Wenger actually had a choice from the start.
In [Sand Silver] City, there are three largest goblin chambers of commerce that control the economy of [Sand and Silver] City, one is Wenger, and the other is the official chamber of commerce controlled by the meeting, and it is naturally impossible for Wenger to sell the Goblin Forest to the official chamber of commerce.
He didn't have the audacity to defraud the official, and the object he wanted to sell to was his old rival's chamber of commerce.
Not long ago, his old rival died violently, and the Chamber of Commerce was handed over to his son, who was just sixteen years old.
This is an opportunity for Wenger, once he successfully tricks that little budding newcomer into taking over the Goblin Forest, Wenger can not only transfer his own losses, but even take a bite of his old rival.
As for whether he can succeed, Wenger is absolutely confident.
Sure enough, it only took Wenger half a day to successfully sell the Goblin Forest.
And the method he used was also very simple, Wenger's old president of the Chamber of Commerce died violently, and Xiao Meng immediately felt the huge pressure brought to him by the Chamber of Commerce after he took the new position.
After all, their elder died violently, and he didn't pave the way for his son before.
That little Meng Xin was pushed to the position of the president without preparation, his father just died, and he has no experience and no threat, and those people under his command have their own ghosts.
Even someone in the Chamber of Commerce has begun to secretly embezzle his assets, and the kind of situation that can clearly feel that his assets are being embezzled, but he can't find it at all, and he is even more powerless, makes Xiao Mengxin's hair gray.
At this time, Wenger jumped out and proposed to exchange the minerals of the goblin forest for some of Xiao Mengxin's industry, which he can't control at the moment and makes Xiao Mengxin feel a headache.
Hearing the news, Xiao Mengxin was so excited that she was about to jump.
Although he also knew in his heart that Wenger was also going for interests, after all, if Wenger did not stand up, his assets might not belong to him for a long time.
Moreover, the minerals of the Goblin Forest are notoriously stable, and Wenger is able to make a lot of money from them every year.
In exchange for some industries that he can't control, in exchange for minerals with stable income from the goblin forest, Xiao Mengxin is of course gladly accepting.
Regardless of the dissuasion of his subordinates, Xiao Mengxin resolutely sold two-thirds of his property in [Sand Silver] to Wenger within half a day, in exchange for the Goblin Forest, for fear that he would not change it if he was one step too late.
As a result, almost at the same time that Xiao Mengxin and Wenger signed a transaction agreement to hand over two-thirds of the property to Wenger under the witness of the parliament, Xiao Mengxin finally got the information:
The Goblin Forest was recently occupied by necromancers, and the Goblin Forest is not under Wenger's control at all.
Hearing this news, this sixteen-year-old goblin Xiao Mengxin cried out with a 'wow'......
