211 Robbery, fueling the fire

At the beginning of December, the player village is mostly being farmed.

Zhan Xiaobai, Li Asan, and Jianba are handling government affairs in the council hall on construction.

Qiushui hurriedly came in at this time and reported to Zhan Xiaobai: "Brother Bai, this morning, several merchants in my village who went out to run merchants were robbed halfway by players from other villages, and the loss was no less than 3 copper coins. They protested and demanded that the military department take the necessary action immediately. What does Big Brother Bai think should be done about this? ”

"What's going on?"

Zhan Xiaobai raised his eyebrows, robbing and being robbed in the game are very common things, and Qiushui will not come to him for no reason. There's definitely something wrong with that.

The sword lord on the side was also very surprised: "The merchant who went out of my village was robbed?" It's rare for this to happen. Players who go out to run merchants in my village usually ride stagecoaches, and ordinary players can't catch up at all, let alone rob. Unless...... They used to ride horses. ”

Stagecoach: Level 10~19, low speed, the system forces players not to fight on stagecoach. Apply to the system to obtain it.

Horseback riding: 20~29 grades, medium speed. Usually used on a horse, it can be used on horses, but it is easily frightened and has unexpected effects on the player. There are more of them.

War Horse: 30-level, high speed, suitable for combat, not easily frightened. Quantities are scarce.

Qiushui said: "Not bad. According to the reports of several merchants who robbed players, there were a total of 3 players who robbed them, all of whom used level 20 ordinary riding horses. The robbery site was thirty miles away from Xiaobai Village. It was confirmed that it was done by a three-legged military commander player named Evil Moon Village. Xuyue Village is an alliance village of Batu Village, and the two villages suddenly fell out a few days ago. The village of Evil Moon began to urgently expand its military strength, first buying about 10 horses from our village, and then carrying out robbery operations against merchant players to seize their property. ”

When she said this, she had a strange feeling in her heart. If the horses sold are used to rob players in their own villages, does that count as causing trouble for themselves?

Zhan Xiaobai and Sword Ba were silent.

It turns out that the player of the Moon Village bought the horses of Xiaobai Village and began to rob the player merchants. The horses in Xiaobai Village were sold, but the players in the village were injured.

Evil Moon Village is a small village that is not well-known, but I am afraid that I want to go crazy for money, no matter how much I rob everywhere, even the players in Xiaobai Village have robbed. This involves diplomacy and the village's horse trade, so it's no wonder that Qiushui himself came to ask what to do.

Zhan Xiaobai then asked, "So, the Evil Moon Village has now broken the alliance with Batu Village?" Is this maliciously targeting the merchants of our village to rob, or is it unintentionally affecting the merchants of our village? ”

Qiushui said: "According to the news, the few players with horses in the Evil Moon Village have attacked dozens of merchant players from different villages in a short period of time, including players from our village. They robbed the merchants of a large number of copper coins, and then came to our village to buy horses to strengthen their robbery team. I propose to suspend the horse market in my village to prevent the horses from continuing to fall into their hands. ”

Zhan Xiaobai was about to agree.

The sword lord shook his head and sneered: "Why pause? Just let them buy it. ”

Qiushui hurriedly said: "There are more and more horses in them, won't the impact on the safety of our village Chamber of Commerce be?" ”

Jian Ba shook his head and said, "The normal means is, of course, to limit the supply of horses. However, they can't buy horses from us, and they will definitely buy them from other villages with horse markets, which weakens our horse market and strengthens other villages, which is not the solution. Therefore, we need to do the opposite, not only not to restrict, but also to strengthen the supply to the village. And from the grassland to speed up the purchase of a large number of riding horses, can sell all the sold, take the opportunity to expand the share of the horse market. ”

Zhan Xiaobai smiled, "What?" Sword Lord, what are your ideas? ”

Jian Ba smiled lightly: "He is a small village in the Moon Village, can he withstand such a crazy robbery?" If they have 100 horses to ride, not to mention the cost of buying horses, the daily consumption of grain and grass is enough for them to struggle. The economy of his small village is absolutely unsustainable, and he can only rob the outside world frantically to obtain money. They will rob others, won't other villages retaliate? If other villages want to retaliate, they will also have to come to our village to buy a large number of horses. Horses are different from ordinary equipment, they need to be consumed. The more horses are sold, the more profit we make. The many horses sold, if not put to good use, would become a heavy burden to the villages, enough to suffocate those who were in a hurry to expand wildly. The bigger the bubble blows, the faster it bursts. ”

This hand is poisonous enough.

Zhan Xiaobai nodded and agreed with Jian Ba's proposition.

He said flatly: "Just do it." ”

Qiushui asked a little anxiously, "But, then how can I explain to the players in the village?" Could it be that the players of the Evil Moon Village attacked our merchants, so forget it? Not only are the merchant players protesting, but so are the warrior players. Many people demanded that the village be given a counterattack. ”

Zhan Xiaobai smiled and said, "Of course you can't just forget it. The work of face always has to be done. You now lodge a protest with the Evil Moon Village, demanding that they stop this malicious attack on the merchants and ensure the normal business order of Wuwei County. ”

Qiu Shui Qi said: "That's it?" ”

Zhan Xiaobai glanced at her with a smile.

Obviously, she wanted to fight. I'm afraid it's not just her, the leaders of the military headquarters of Xiaobai Village, who doesn't want to fight.

Zhan Xiaobai said: "Of course, protests will not play a role. They have come to this point, the enemy is all over the ground, and they will definitely not be able to stop, so they can only desperately expand the number of troops and horses. So, they won't ......"

Qiushui immediately said, "So they ignored our protests?!" Then it's going to be a fight, isn't it? ”

Zhan Xiaobai smiled and did not answer.

"Go ahead, send someone to Xuyue Village to take a note, don't let people say that our Xiaobai Village doesn't even say hello."

"Okay!"

Qiushui went immediately.

Half a day later.

Qiushui came to report and said with some dissatisfaction: "I sent a player messenger to send a note, but the Evil Moon Village ignored our protests at all and directly blocked our envoy back. Their players are still attacking merchants everywhere. However, the horse market in my village has recovered, and as many as 50 riding horses have been sold in just half a day, which is more than the usual two days. The Evil Moon Village can't eat so many horses in one go. Fifty horses can be sold for as much as 40 copper coins, which is enough to collapse the economy of a small village if you count the cost of forage in the future. ”

Zhan Xiaobai groaned: "It's not just the Moon Village that buys horses. Their frenzied raid really touched the nerves of the other villages, and they had to hemorrhage to buy expensive horses. This is very good for the development of the horse market in my Xiaobai Village, let them buy, and the more they buy, the better. By the way, how many cavalry are there in my village now? ”

Qiushui said: "There are more than 50 regular archers and 10 lancers in my village, and the combat effectiveness of all 'colored' war horses is far from being comparable to those ordinary horses. In addition, there are 18 horses and fierce horses that are higher grade than ordinary war horses, which are ridden by NPC leaders and generals. In Wuwei County, for the time being, no cavalry from that village has the strength to fight us. ”

Zhan Xiaobai nodded: "Steadily expand the number of cavalry, and give priority to quality." Equipped with the finest harness, armor, bow and arrow weapons. In the next month, the number will be expanded to about 100 cavalry, and in the next two months to 200 cavalry, ensuring that our cavalry can appear at any location in Wuwei County at any time and strike at any player village. In addition, the logistical supply of grain and grass must be fully guaranteed, and the forage production in Wutong Village must be expanded and hoarded as soon as possible. ”

"Okay, what about the Evil Moon Village?"

"There's no hurry. The Evil Moon Village has offended many villages now, and it is estimated that their cavalry has already fought with the cavalry of other villages. I'm afraid that the Evil Moon Village won't last long, and it will be destroyed sooner or later. Now start to secretly give some food, grass, and equipment support to the Evil Moon Village, and exchange the belongings in their hands, so that they can fight as crazy as possible. It would be better to make more villages suffer a little and let them come to us to buy expensive horses. When the Evil Moon Village was about to be defeated, he sent Chopping Wind and Ling Yue to lead the cavalry squad to attack and receive the valuable belongings of the Evil Moon Village, especially food and currency. ”

Qiushui nodded solemnly.

Although she, the Spring and Autumn Young Heroes, Ah Fei, and most of the player captains and NPC generals in the military department all hope that Xiaobai Village will directly send troops to destroy the Evil Moon Village. Let the military department have more credit.

However, the claim made by the sword tyrant. Take advantage of the turmoil of the Moon Village to achieve the purpose of increasing the trade of the horse market. Then borrow other villages to destroy the Evil Moon Village. This means of continuous use can make Xiaobai Village more profitable.

Considering the supreme interests of Xiaobai Village, she could only suppress the desire of the leaders of the military department to fight first. How to fight in the future depends on the changes in the situation.
