This caravan on this secret mission. It's not a crowded alliance ** caravan. Rather, it is a convoy of tongues running to Baier-Dezhejiang.

The leader of the caravan is a middle-aged man named Huck, who is also a native of Hammondal, but he used to be a small person, but not many people know him, he used to work in the caravan, he has experience in business, and later was favored by Robert, and promoted him to join the alliance's spy organization, like other Harmondale natives, he is very kind to Chen Jian. They are loyal to the alliance.

Having been running on this trade route for a long time, Huck is now a little famous among the caravans of the past, and everyone knows that Huck's caravans are dedicated to this route, and they are eager to do a great job. Huck also made a lot of money, and Huck was a good man, and he once rescued some unlucky small caravans that were robbed by the Bairders bandits, so the popularity was not bad, and some small caravans even offered to go with him, so that it would be much safer for them, because they knew that Huck's caravans, although the number of guards was small, but the combat effectiveness was extremely strong, no worse than the guards of those large caravans, and more importantly, Huck's caravans were said to have dealings with the robbers, and they were guarded. Don't worry about being robbed by the bandits of Bai-Erdes.

There have always been rumors that Huck's caravans were so bold that they would do business with the bandits of Baildus, buy the looted goods from the robbers, and sell them the goods they wanted at a high price, but whether this was true or not is still unknown, and the only thing that the other caravans can be sure of is that Huck's caravans will suddenly disappear from Bairders for a few days, and when they reappear, the goods will be very different.

But no one dared to find out the truth of the facts, because the caravans that had the courage to trade with the robbers had an amazing background, and their hands and eyes were all open, just like those who dared to make a living with the pirates at sea, and anyway, it didn't hinder themselves, and everyone was happy to be kind and wealthy, "Don't dare to cause unnecessary trouble."

Everyone didn't know that in fact, the caravan was not trading with the robbers, they were just using the guise of dealing with the robbers to transport all the materials needed by the alliance from the peripheral caravans back to the underground of Baildus.

Of course, for better disguise, they would also go to Negan to make some trades, so they were indeed a caravan.

The people in the caravan were all members of the Alliance, so they naturally knew that the person who was traveling with them this time was the President of the Alliance.

Chen Jian often appeared in the joint prison, and everyone knew him, and when he was able to walk with the president, everyone was inexplicably excited, but they were worried on the other.

Everyone is worried about what will happen on the road.

But Chen Jian really relieved everyone.

"What do you do on weekdays, and you still do what you do now, the more nervous you are, the easier it is to show flaws, so from now on, until you return to the alliance, you don't treat me as a general revolving adult, I'm just the leader of an ordinary caravan guard!"

Before leaving, Chen Jian said this to the people in the caravan, but having said that, everyone was still there

Can't let go.

But after a few days on the road, the people in the caravan were surprised to find that the president seemed to be very loyal to everything about the caravan. The President knows a lot about many of the rules that only people in the circle know, and will especially remind Morriel and Barty and others to pay attention to these details and not to show their feet, and he himself is a very competent leader of the caravan guard, and everything is done with a clear eye and meticulousness.

"Strange, how can you be so familiar with these things?" Morriel is also strange, for the sake of

The crowd asked their questions.

Jian Chen shrugged his shoulders and said, "Have you forgotten?" Didn't I tell you that I once traveled on the mainland with a caravan! I was in that caravan for quite a short time! How can it not be cooked? ”

Hearing Jian Chen say this, Morriel remembered. Chen Jian did say that when he was at the height of his life, he joined a caravan and began to wander on the mainland.

Chen Jian's personality was originally plain-easy-approachable, but now he behaved like this, and he also mentioned that he had worked in the caravan before, and everyone had a great sense of intimacy, and the original worries in their hearts had also gone a lot, after all, even they themselves could not see that Chen Jian was a president at this time, and even sometimes there was the illusion that Chen Jian was actually a caravan guard, and of course outsiders could not see it.

Chen Jian led by example and personally directed, and Morriel and Barty and others also quickly entered the role. Morriel disguised herself as a female guard, the three magicians dressed in shabby magician robes, three low-level wandering magicians who had joined the caravan for the sake of their hues, and Barty the Minotaur mixed in with the caravan's miscellaneous servants. All ten manticore cavalry were temporarily transferred. became a caravan guard under Chen Jian, the leader of the guards.

If there is really any flaw, it is that the military smell on the body of the manticore cavalry is too strong, but this is not a strange thing, there are frequent wars on the mainland, and there are many deserters, and there should not be a few deserters who serve as escorts for the caravan

The group slept in the open, and soon approached Hammondal.

Summer is a good weather for business, the scorching sun shines on the body, and the heat makes people want to go crazy, but business opportunities are such a thing as no matter what the weather is or not, so every summer, on the continent of Erathia, all kinds of caravans are coming and going.

And Hammonval, as a transportation hub on the mainland, is even more lively, whether it is Chen Jian or Moriel, they are all found to be closer to Hammondal. The more caravans there are on the way.

"If it weren't for the battle in Titalia, I'm afraid there would be more caravans!" Jian Chen rode on a horse and said happily to Moriel. "This season, there are many specialties in Tytalia that are selling well, and despite the fact that it is a swampy area, there are many very unique plants, some delicious fruits, which are only produced there, and ......."

Chen Jian's incessant talk made Morriel and the others a little surprised, but they were relieved to think that the president had also been through the caravan before, but they didn't know that these were actually the homework that Chen Jian had done in order to build Hammondale into a trading and logistics center for the whole world.

He was nimble and knew a lot of the most advanced business theories on earth, and if things hadn't changed at that time, maybe Hammondale would have really been developed by him.

At that time, Mo Ge translated the scriptures and said that it was a pity that Chen Jian did not change his career to become a businessman.

When Fort Werning's pile appeared in the public eye, many people in the caravan were full of emotion, and Hammonval had too many memories of them.

Chen Jianhe! Lil looked at each other, also embarrassed, and both of them remembered the bits and pieces that happened between the two of them when they were in Hammondale.

"Fortunately, that guy from Mrak has been transferred to other sides to garrison, and the Imperial defenders here have also been transferred in the last battle of Ofer, don't worry that someone will recognize us, otherwise "It's trouble!" Thinking of the past, Jian Chen naturally also remembered Mrak, who was always against him, "Morriel said, "In the past, we used to go in and out of Fort Werning, and many of the original defenders there knew us!"

Morrill reminded him, "That's true. However, we should not take it lightly, although the original defenders have been transferred, there is no guarantee that some people will be left behind because they are familiar with the affairs here. Maybe someone will recognize us!"

Chen Jian didn't dare to be careless at the moment, called Huck, explained in a low voice, and then hid in the crowd of guards with Molly, trying to make the two less noticeable.

But the closer he got to Fort Werning, the more uncomfortable Chen Jian felt in his heart.

Harmon was the place where he made his fortune, and what he considered to be his home in the world, but now, after he left to be taken over by the Empire, it is becoming more and more desolate.

Unlike his previous plans, the Empire had no intention of developing the place, let alone realizing the huge business opportunities that existed here, and the previous prosperity of Hammondale seemed to them to be an illusion, and they were more concerned with the huge mineral deposits in the area.

The local population was almost empty by the time Chen Jian left, and the Empire had no intention of moving people here and developing the local agriculture and economy, because the Empire paid more attention to the war of Hasodhal, and now Hammondale had more garrisons than there was at the time of Mlak. At the same time, in order to open the mines, a large number of prisoners of war and poor people were transported here, under the supervision of the imperial ** team, these prisoners of war and poor people worked in the pits day and night, for the empire to continuously transport high-quality iron ore, and the arsenal factory was also opened, every once in a while, a large number of high-quality steel and good weapons and equipment will be transported here to all parts of the empire, armed or new or old imperial ** team.

Under such circumstances, Hammondal's agriculture, which had just begun to improve under Chen Jian's control, was almost all abandoned, and Hammondale returned to the old situation of relying on foreign imports for food, when the farmland left behind was already destroyed by the refugees. Now it's a wasteland.

All that Catherine had planned for Hammondale was now a dead letter.

In the past, Chen Jian had only seen these things in the intelligence, and Chen Jian didn't feel anything about it, but now that he had returned to Hammondale and seen all this with his own eyes, Chen Jian couldn't help but feel angry in his heart.

He had never been so desperate to get Hammondale back in his possession.

In order not to make Q even more angry, he told Huck not to enter Hammondale and to go straight to Bairders at Verning.

Just arrived in Vi-Erningburg: when it was near. However, everyone was sensitive to the fact that the atmosphere here was not quite normal.

The Emperor of Fort Werning was extremely heavily guarded, and the caravans were strictly checked, and above the sky, there were a large number of griffons patrolling back and forth.

Seeing this, not only Moriel and the others, but even Chen Jian's heart sank.
