The key question now is whether to accept the Peruvian family's request for help, as I said just now, Rand does not have much money to consume, if he loses in this war, then his fate is likely to be rewritten, and the Duke of Winton cannot devote his energy to send troops to defend the air ferry territory at this time, not to mention that in the eyes of the family leaders, the air ferry territory is an area that can be abandoned at any time.

It is neither prosperous nor can it be used as a gateway fortress for the family, and even if Rand is present, there is still no way to change these established facts in a short period of time.

Once it loses its military power, then the Imperial City will most likely order Rand to abandon the air territory.

This is absolutely unacceptable to the Rand.

"Let me think about it," Rand replied very cautiously, as a lord he had to make sure that every decision he made was correct, the fate of thousands of people was in his hands, and the slightest mistake could lead to a big mistake, "I will arrange accommodation for you first." ”

"My lord, the situation is urgent, and several Shang clans may break the deadlock at any time and take the lead, and at that time, we will be completely in a passive state. Rutseff heard Rand's answer, his mood became more and more anxious, in his opinion, Rand is just looking for excuses to prevaricate, "Don't forget, it is the Peruvian family who has worked tirelessly to buy a large number of war horses for you......"

Stupid! The shadow who sat on the side couldn't help but rub his eyebrows, it seemed that Rutseff was too anxious, and his speech was a little thoughtless, which was simply using the partnership to force Rand to make a statement.

The meaning of his last sentence was completely to point at Rand's nose and say that your kid has received the favor of our family, but now he refuses to send troops, you are crossing the river and demolishing the bridge!

Who can bear this, even with Lante's good temper, he couldn't help but get angry: "Yes, if you hadn't reminded me, I really forgot." I have prepared the final payment of that batch of war horses, you can take them away at any time, I am not so poor that I want your war horses for nothing!"

"My lord, that's not what I meant......" Rutherf reacted as well, and he hurriedly explained.

"Take him to rest. Rand walked away, his face stiff.

"Sir, please wait a minute......" Rutseff hurriedly stood up, but was stopped by the servant.

"We have prepared food and shelter for you, please come with me," the servant stopped in front of Lutherf with great respect, "you better rest and go to your lordship." ”

Rutherf's face was as pale as a pig's liver, and it took a long time to stomp his foot fiercely, secretly scolding himself for losing his words.

......

Back at the castle, Rand sat down at his desk and began to think about Lutherf's proposal, and although he was a little dissatisfied with the way he had just spoken, Rand was not so angry that he refused the Peruvian family's request for help.

"Knock knock!"

Just as Rand was swaying, there was a sudden knock at the door.

"Please come in. ”

The door was pushed open, and Payne's burly body was greeted by him, "My lord, are you looking for me?"

"Well," Rand's eyes lit up, maybe he should ask Payne's opinion about war, maybe most people don't know enough about Payne, thinking that he is just a muscular reckless man, but this is not the case, as a qualified knight, Payne has to learn war coordination and the use of the art of war in addition to the necessary physical training since he was a child.

It can be said that a knight's level of education and military strength are almost the same, but the latter is used more often, which leads to the fact that the former is not too noticeable.

"About the ...... of the cavalry regiment" Rand thought for a moment, and then changed his words: "There is something, you can help me analyze it." ”

......

Blu-ray City, this not a prosperous city stands in the upper reaches of the Serra River, there are no minerals in the territory, and the amount of farmland is very small, most of the civilians rely on fishing for sea pearls to exchange necessities and silver coins with the merchants, even if the rulers also make a living from it, their biggest customers are the Black Star family, so when the other party proposed to imprison a prisoner in Blu-ray City, the Blu-ray City Lord agreed without much thought.

Soon the inhabitants of Blu-ray City noticed the changes in the city, with some soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Black Star Family stationed at the gates and watchtowers, and the direction of the prison seemed to be reinforced with troops, a change that caused the civilians to talk about it.

The city has less than 8,000 inhabitants, and the soldiers are also cobbled together, who act as farmers and craftsmen in peacetime, and become soldiers when they use weapons in battle, such a soldier without systematic training can imagine its combat effectiveness.

They are more skilled in plowing the fields and fishing than they are in warfare.

"Your Excellency Kamodo, the price of Haizhu has dropped a little this year......" The Blu-ray City Lord looked at the checkout list of the Black Star Family, with doubts on his face, according to the past, the number on the list should be a little higher: "What is the reason for this?"

Kamodo sat there, obviously a little tired, "This year's Haizhu is far inferior to the previous ones in terms of size and clarity, and this inferior Haizhu is difficult to sell in the northern market, so I can only ship it to more remote cities to barely make back the cost." ”

"Lord Castle, the quality of the goods you give is declining day by day. A middle-aged man next to Kamodo said in a deep voice, "This will not only affect the profits, but also affect our family's reputation in the northern market." ”

The Blu-ray City Lord raised his eyebrows, his face was a little embarrassed, "This, this can't be blamed on me, the sea pearls in the nearby sea areas have been salvaged long ago after several years of collection, and the quality of the rest will definitely be slightly worse, but don't worry, I have asked the soldiers to open up to the farther sea areas, and the next sea pearl will definitely satisfy you." ”

"Lord Castle, we're old friends," Kamodo smiled, "You've been providing us with quality supplies, and we won't let you suffer losses by chance." ”

"Smack!"

Kamodo clapped his palms, and several soldiers walked in through the door, carrying a heavy wooden box.

When the chest opened, it was filled with silver coins!

"You...... What do you mean by that?" the Blu-ray City Lord's eyes widened, these silver coins were more than fifty thousand, and the bright light made him dizzy.

"Although the price of the family's acquisition of Blu-ray City Haizhu is much lower than before, we have been partners for many years plus friends...... "Kamodo licked his lips, pointed to the silver coin below and said: "This is my personal compensation to you, after all, we have cooperated for so many years, compared to our friendship, what is the calculation of tens of thousands of silver coins?"

What a surprise!

The Blue Light City Lord felt his mouth dry.
