This is the biggest feeling in Barker's heart, the so-called command ability, the so-called military strategy, all need to be built on a certain strength base. The smaller this gap is, the greater the space for displaying one's talents, and the difference in strength between the two armies is the most testing of the commander's personal ability.

I need a boost, a boost that can stand up to the Imperial army...... Buck muttered, and his whole body was a little stunned. Searching the entire sea of memory, I can't find such help.

It seems that in the current situation, it can be directly divided into a situation where nothing can be done, and according to the predetermined plan, it can be retreated......

Only one day after arriving in Port Mertil, Buck began to retreat, not because he didn't want to contribute, but because his opponent was too tough. He was thinking about how to leave the city lord Colin.

Frost Giant Fei bit a chicken leg and walked into the tent. "I said, Captain, when can we go to war?" There is an extremely belligerent fanatic factor in the giant's bloodline, and as a pure-blooded royal giant, it is normal for Fei to have such thoughts.

Buck glanced at Faye enviously, and after entering the city, this guy took the military money to eat and drink in the streets and alleys, and when he had enough to eat, he ran to the camp to ask for war. Sometimes ignorance is really a blessing.

Fei suddenly thought of something and said: "It's going to be a quick battle, there are many merchants stranded in the city, and the supply of food will be a problem." "He went out to buy food, and the price kept rising.

"There's a large number of merchants trapped in the city?" Buck asked, combing his thoughts, suddenly as if he had grasped the information.

Hearing this, Fei shook his head and explained, "If you expect the left-behind merchants in the city to help you, then forget it." This gang of philistines is shrewd and values profit over righteousness, even if the knife is on the neck, he will bargain with you. Moreover, the personal guards of this kind of caravan are far inferior to the regular soldiers, and they are okay to deal with the rogue bandits, and they are cannon fodder when they go to the battlefield. ”

Fei talked eloquently, but Buck was impressed, and sure enough, he could become the king of the tribe in his previous life and revive a race, which also has merit.

Buck affirmed, "They're not useless, there's a kind of businessman here who can help me......"

……

Port Mertil is a wharf-based trading city, and the settlement population is not large, most of them are migrants. The Imperial army was overwhelmed and attacked directly here, resulting in the inability of this part of the population to evacuate in time. So these people can only stay for the time being, and the tavern is full of worried faces.

Sir Sam is one of those men, and he also has a hidden identity, the Sea Clan's trade intermediary in the city. He believed that even if the city was broken, it wouldn't affect him, and he would just change the object of the transaction. He believes in Amberi, the queen of the deep, a capricious goddess who belongs to the evil camp, and he is not a gentleman who follows the rules.

He went to the tavern as usual to listen to the latest news that was circulating, and was about to sit in his old seat, only to find a young man sitting on it, shrugged his shoulders, and was about to find his place again. The man stopped him with a smile. "Lord Sir, I am the garrison of this city, and I want to talk to you about a deal that can exempt you from the tax of your caravan."

Sam didn't want to stay for a moment, he turned around and left, the city was about to break, and any kind of promise was worthless.

"What about a constant commercial territory?" The man shouted loudly behind him.

It's a bit interesting, permanent territory? This kind of stuff is very tempting. Now the most important places in the city are the temples. Even if the deal was fake, Sam was willing to hear it. Anyway, the city was besieged, and he had plenty of time.

"Two good glasses of tequila. Meet me, my name is Buck. The man ordered him a glass of wine and introduced himself by the way.

Buck began to explain: "Tax-free, permanent territory...... This kind of thing can be signed into a contract, and we don't have to worry about going back. The only requirement is that you can contact the Sea Clan and send troops to defend against the Empire's attack. ”

Sam was calm and did not say anything, and this condition was only tempting.

A good businessman is not convincing to just talk about his superiority, and he has to belittle his opponent.

Buck continued, "Besides, I've heard that the whole Gothic nation is madly worshipping Bane, the god of strife. I don't need to say more about the teachings of this god. "Bane is a very xenophobic god. His doctrine includes the phrase "All sinners who worship other gods will eventually incur their own destruction", which is such blatant xenophobia, simple and violent, intense desire and self-centeredness, which is Bane's philosophy of life.

Sam frowned, it is true, the Federation has no fixed beliefs, so he can easily establish trade relations as an intermediary in the first place. You must know that Ambori is not a well-known god, and in a country of free faith like the Federation, he is willing to deal with her followers.

"Is it because of this that we are going to provoke such a formidable enemy? This is not a wise approach. Moreover, can the soldiers of the Federation become our allies? "Speaking of which, the potential meaning of the other party's words has come out, you want me to help, but your strength is so low, there is no negotiation capital at all.

"Are we weak? Extremely ignorant point of view! Buck sneered, showing his arrogant posture vividly, and before Sam could react, he said: "Then you have always seen the battle with your own eyes in the past few days, and it seems that the powerful imperial army has not taken advantage of us......

Sam had been pondering this question, and he couldn't figure it out. According to rumors, the Imperial army should have been able to storm the city with ease. But he couldn't help but believe the facts in front of him, and the battle situation was a stalemate...... If the Imperial army had this quality, then the matter of cooperation would be debatable.

Seeing Sam's move, Buck added a fire: "Tomorrow's war, I will show you our capital." I hope you can cherish this hard-won opportunity. "Leaving without looking back is also a negotiation technique, keeping an appropriate distance, if you are about to leave.

Sam was noncommittal, raising his glass, feigning composure, but the wandering look in his eyes already showed that his heart was not so calm.

City Lord's Mansion, Colin listened carefully to Buck's narration, his eyes getting brighter and brighter. What does a Sea Clan reinforcement mean for the current war? As for those things like tax exemptions, they don't matter if they are at stake.

He assured Buck: "Tomorrow's war, I will go into battle myself!" But is it really okay for you to hide from them that you are not regular soldiers of the Empire? ”

Buck joked, "I'm already on this sinking ship, everyone who is willing to get on the ship is welcome to live and die with me, and coax them to the ship first......"
