"Chapter 138: Return to the Tibetan Soldier City"
Philip and the others returned, and there was no surprise, the Legion retreated quickly, and when they arrived, there was not a single soldier of the Legion in sight, at most a few ruffians and other characters were rummaging through the supplies thrown by the Legion, trying to find something valuable. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Philip and Huron didn't spend a single soldier, they went through each village and town as if they were going through the motions, they packed up the supplies that the legions didn't have time to take, they left a level 4 knight with two brigades to garrison these villages and towns, and then came back very smoothly.
In just one day, our troops have liberated three towns occupied by the Legion, and counting the one northern town that we have taken down directly during the war, we have taken all the projected territory north of Amr. When Fang Zi returned, the troops occupied all the Amur land east of the town of Sig along the way, and I also took nearly 1,000 square kilometers of land in the north of the Amur. Now look at the city of Amur, half of the actual territory has been removed.
"Today is another comfortable day, although a bit of a pit." I nodded in satisfaction, looked at the prince who had returned with flowers, sighed slightly, and returned to the mansion. Although I am now the only lord of the East in the city, since I am the lord who has the greatest influence on them, a group of people from the city still come to visit me at night and show me their "sincerity".
They brought some valuable jewels and magic crystals, and piled up a lot of chests full of gold coins at the door. The rich men and some of the officials offered gifts in the hope of getting a job as mayor of the town, and pledged their allegiance to me. The merchants smiled and brought orders for hundreds of bottles of holy water, as well as a quarter of the deposit. Their smiles were so flattering, like the old man Mane in the shop. And those gold and magic crystals are also really there, and I can't refuse when I urgently need gold coins to build a city.
I am well aware of the intentions of those seeking office. Although those towns have already been occupied by us, if these people seek the position of mayor, the benefits will naturally be greater than in Amur. And with the support of our troops in the back, they can be more unscrupulous. Similarly, after the decision was made to supply the city of Amur with holy water for a long time, the demand for holy water in the city did not flourish as before. But for merchants, if they sell excess holy water to the kingdom or other regions, they can double the profit, and a few hundred bottles of holy water can double their wealth! In the face of sufficient profits, merchants and capitalists can sell everything, and the "gifts" of tens of thousands of gold coins are nothing compared to the large profits in the future.
In the same way, I needed money, and the merchants who had a lot of money and seldom leaked out, and a very fat rich man gave me a ruby the size of a pigeon's egg in exchange for a long-term order of five hundred bottles of holy water. Another tall, lanky merchant sent a pocket of fist-sized magic crystals, and also got a long-term order. The purpose of these merchants is obvious, and that is holy water, holy water, and holy water! By the way, and munitions. It is said that some businessmen are buying arquebuses for training at Fangzi, but they have not yet been negotiated. I started to get busy, and I kept in touch with these merchants, giving them orders as appropriate, and taking those giveaways and deposits. I didn't sell those positions, but I knew they would still buy the people in the city to take the vacancies. So I consulted with them, took a little money, and arranged them with some inconsequential idle jobs.
One night, the gold coins and other treasures in front of me were piled up in front of me, even more than the money the alliance took when they came to buy holy water. At the beginning, it was the three cities of the alliance, but now it is just a merchant in a city, and the wealth is so amazing, and the wealth of the alliance is really not built by the people. I sat between the large boxes, one hand stroking the piles of crystals as the coins slipped between my fingers. It's a feeling I couldn't have experienced before. A long-term order of more than 1,000 bottles of holy water, in exchange for cash of 100,000 gold coins and gem magic crystals worth more than 100,000. But compared to the holy water worth more than 600,000 yuan, this amount of money is not too much.
"It's a group of rich people, but it's a pity that when the war comes, they can't even keep their wealth." I looked at the large boxes of gold, silver and jewelry around me and smiled. I know that there are many wealthy people in the city, and some of them even have high-ranking warriors in their families to guard the family business. But despite this, when the large-scale war comes, they can only pack up their things and run away as soon as possible, they are not lords and nobles, the alliance does not exist like that, and it is only a dead end to fight against the army with their family troops. These merchants of the alliance are accustomed to the tendency to attach fire, spend money to buy peace, and before us, they are obedient to us. However, when it comes to their interests, they will do whatever it takes to gain benefits, constantly bargaining in front of me, and completely ignoring their own safety. It reminds me of old man Mane, but fortunately, I have a way to deal with these people.
I spent almost the night lying in the pile of gold coins, which gave me a bit of a headache when I woke up. But it doesn't matter, I've got enough wealth to go back to my development plans. I took care of my clothes and started unlocking the new magical chest and royal chest that I was excited about, and gave the order to return to the Tibetan Fortress.
Our army was mobilized except for the garrison, Philip and Huron were busy mobilizing their troops, and the prince was busy exercising and cleaning his armor. I sat with Rock Lauren and I were chatting about things inside the Union. I learned a lot from him about the inside story of the Alliance, such as some of the flaws between the old consul who is still sick in bed and the current consul who has been in office for ten consecutive years, and other insider information. The more I know about the league now, the better, and the more I know, the easier it is to talk to the league now.
Philip and the others spent about half an hour assembling the troops that could return, and although they left two brigades to "assist in defending the city", our remaining troops were still very large, still in the size of tens of thousands. After saying goodbye to Rock Lauren and saying hello to the merchants, I waved at the men who saw them off, mounted my chestnut pony, and left the war-torn city with Mayor Mario and the soldiers of Bieber.
The way back was much easier than when we came, we were not in a hurry to march this time, and there were enough supplies, so we walked very slowly, and we had to go into the town to show off before we reached a village or town, and by the way gave a lot of food to the residents there. Our actions were, of course, deliberate, and our reign will only be stable if our image is deeply rooted here. The prince's strength and temperament played a key role at this time, and when he flew through the sky on his warhorse, every Amur exclaimed that "the Easterners have become the masters of the alliance." ''I'm certainly happy with this reaction.
It took us nearly three days on the road to get to Babula, a pace far worse than when we were on a normal march. However, the results of our journey have been very good, and now the entire alliance knows that we have won this time, and we have a powerful Sky Battle Master, and the Dragon Knight as a helper. Now everyone thinks that Fang Zi and I are the strongest forces in the alliance, and many of the cities belonging to Mondona and Grandel have begun to waver, and some towns even want our troops to garrison them, and they are willing to pay for the garrison themselves. The incompetence of the two cities during the war was seen in their eyes, and now they want us to rule over them, so that at least they are safe.
By the time I arrived in Babula, the population of this northern town had grown by a few hundred, and the displaced people were starting to move towards Babula, and our constant monster clean-up activities had brought the mercenaries alive again.
The increase in population and the continuous hoarding of Warcraft materials. As a result, new housing was created, mercenaries and merchants continued to come to do business, leather armor made of monster hides and some related products were introduced, and the business of the craft workshops continued to improve, and the town of Babra prospered.
Alblin greeted me in the town with a red face, and introduced me to many messengers from other towns, all of whom wanted to take refuge in us. Poppy was very excited to hear that I was back, and on the way to the barracks, he kept talking about the situation in the neighborhood and wanted me to review the troops in the town, and of course I agreed. The current Babra army is not the same as in the past, now the militia (local armed forces) of Babra are equipped with militia daggers and leather armor provided by the system, and the officers at the bottom also wear the armor made by the Tibetan Soldier City, pick up the barbarian long sword, and direct the training of the troops. Before, I sent two militia captains and two barbarian instructors to the town of Babra, and now the troops they have taught are basically qualified. Now that Babra's troops have reached regular standards, even a regular corps against the Legion can handle it. I also promoted the lower units that had stayed in Babura to level 2 and above, and with the Babra militia and the eight level 2 cannons I placed in the corners of the wall, I think there should be no problem with the defense of Babra Town.
I walked around the town of Babra, and the inhabitants of Babra excitedly came to the side of the street and waved at me, calling out to my lord. And just as I was interacting with the inhabitants, the prince suddenly fell from the sky, his armor shining with golden light. The prince posed handsomely, and the townsfolk on the street also grew their mouths in surprise, and for a moment everyone's attention was focused.
"Your Highness, it's a great honor to meet you" Poppy was also very excited when he saw the prince, and saluted him very respectfully.
"Thank you, knight." The prince smiled slightly, and put away the spear he had used in his posing. He saluted me: ''Your Majesty, your kingdom is really beautiful, it is not so prosperous here, but it is like in our country. ''At this time, the prince's attitude surprised me a little, because compared with the previous publicity, the prince's attitude at this time seemed very restrained and gentle.
"You'll feel more comfortable when you get to the Tibetan Soldier City, because it's like a big tribal village, it's very interesting." I was very pleased with the prince's sudden convergence, so I had a good attitude at this time.
"Ah, Your Majesty, you know, a prince must be like a prince, and a prince must be handsome and brave. The king should be like the king, wise and majestic. So let me go ahead of you, and let me tell the world about your coming. The prince said with great emotion.
I was amazed by the prince's attitude, and I was touched by his words, and I wanted to say something about trust to him, but I almost said it if he hadn't turned around and accosted the little girl.
I stayed in Babura for a while, and the development here is good, and there is a lot of financial surplus, the people don't feel stressed, the employment situation is first-class, and there is nothing to worry about here.
I called the prince, who was chatting happily, and gave a few more words to Alblin and Bobbi, and then led the army on its way to the Tibetan Garrison.
It was still the same distance, but compared to the low meadows before, the caravans and troops had trodden a path back and forth, which was simple but also flat. Along the way, our patrols continued to pass by, and it seemed that after the defeat of the legion, Mei Long had released his troops again. After walking two kilometers, we came across five simple huts that could accommodate five or six people, always with two level 3 barbarians guarding here, and a few goblins roaming around. These were patrol posts and temporary resting places for passing merchants. There were four or five more such huts further on, and the road from Babula to the Tibetan Soldier City was already occupied by our troops. ''This is a necessary security measure. ''At the beginning, Mei Long made a suggestion like this, and I adopted it, anyway, the cost is not high, and there are many benefits.
When I arrived at the plain outside the Tibetan Soldier City, there were some changes from before. The capacity of the enclosure is limited, but there are still some villagers who have their own small herds outside the city. These herds are very close to the wild ones, and they are a bit wild, but the tribesmen can cope with them. The ground in this area has also become clean and tidy, thanks to Ron and his troops who continue to chase away the wild animals that have entered our grazing area, so that we don't have to worry about our feet. I also saw the barbarians and regular soldiers leading their horses under the walls, who seemed to have been thrown off their horses several times, but still learning.
I shouted from afar, and my voice was not comparable to what I used to do. My echo was very long, and after I finished shouting, from the side of the Tibetan Soldier City, the sound came like a tidal wave, almost bursting people's eardrums.
"Welcome back, my lord!"
"Haha, let's go, Louie!" I laughed out loud, and then rode out, and Louis flew straight up, and the troops behind us rushed towards the city like a charge, shouts of joy were endless.
