Chapter 0292 - Burn It
Otherworldly traffic has always been a tragedy.
If a person wants to go far away, it is absolutely impossible to leave without saying it. If you want to expand into a group of people who go far away, it is even more of a disaster - if you don't eat and drink Lazar, you will inevitably die in the middle of the road.
The day after Lorraine bought the last of the slave girls, Seth evacuated all his men from the city to the villages and towns outside the city. There were less than fifty people, but the town could barely accommodate them, and they were all crammed into a makeshift warehouse.
Transporting people and materials over long distances is a very complicated matter, and it is normal to lack food and clothing on the way, be helpless, and even get lost and attacked.
While Seth was overwhelmed by a mess of, he spotted a wagon coming to the makeshift warehouse. A few people jumped out of the car and shouted in shock, "Father, why are you here?" ”
Rubio, a profiteer who has been in the Black Forest for half his life, looked left and right, moved his arms, legs and feet, and shouted with a sigh: "This is the Banshee Castle, and this is the first time I've come back." It doesn't feel good. ”
Seth's face darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "Father, this is a town outside the Banshee Castle. The walls of the Banshee Castle are three miles away. You haven't answered my question yet? ”
Rubio smiled, "Half a month ago, Ms. Inisha received a reply from Lord Hugo. She anticipated that you should evacuate, and sent us to prepare for it. Can you arrange everything without my old bones? ”
Seth opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. Rubio stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said, "I just called out to the 'Holy Light' and greeted Master Hugo. He said that as long as we can retreat safely this time, we will not have to worry about coming out to fight in the future. ”
Seth withdrew nearly fifty people from the Banshee Castle, plus hundreds of his own convoys, and a large amount of goods to be transported. Under the heavy transportation task, it is necessary to consider the potential hostile danger, and it is necessary to arrange escort guards.
In the real world, a few trucks can do it all. But in the other world, not to mention that there is no suitable means of transportation, even the road is uneven. None of these jobs are easy to solve.
Rubio was still smiling at the door of the warehouse, and after entering the warehouse to count the goods and personnel, he kept his face calm. He was rickety, and his appearance was not good, but Seth was a little afraid after him.
"Father, do you think my arrangement ......"
"Your arrangement is shit. Most of the team was unfamiliar with each other, and the rations they brought were at least half missing. Such a team will fall apart halfway through. Rubio reprimanded unceremoniously.
"Aren't there supplies along the way?" Seth whispered.
Rubio rolled his eyes, "You'd better arrange it as if there are no supplies along the way, otherwise it will be bad." ”
With a shortage of capacity to provide by horse-drawn carriages, limited supplies to procure, and excess personnel and goods to be transported, Rubio and his son faced a lot of problems.
Outside the town where the temporary warehouse is located, little Powell, covered in frost, has just dismounted and walked through a bare dirt slope to look at the warehouse. One of his brothers came out of the town and walked up the dirt slope to report the road......
"It's this town, and all the people are in it. I asked the town's guards, and a group of outsiders had rented a warehouse two months earlier and hired a number of men to transport goods north. They carried a lot of money, at least one or two hundred carts back and forth.
In addition to transporting goods, they also transported people, but it is not clear how much they transported. Some of the carriages came out of the city without stopping, heading straight north. But the slave girls we caught last night are all here.
I've counted far away, and the volume of people and goods in this batch is very large. There are not enough carriages in the town, and they should not be able to leave for a while, at least half a month. ”
When Powell Jr. heard the phrase 'the amount of people and goods is particularly large,' he immediately asked sharply: "Is the black market trading in the city still going on?" ”
His brother was stunned, "I'm going to ask." What's wrong? ”
"Forget it, don't ask." Powell Jr. shook his head, "I asked the slave traders last night, and they didn't get any more orders for the next batch of slaves. Victor. Hugo has been here for two months, and he's going to run. ”
His brother was even more stunned, and asked rhetorically, "Are we going to report to Your Excellency Fils immediately?" ”
"But we don't know Victor yet. Where is Hugo? Powell Jr. was also thinking, "What about the report to His Excellency Fils?" ”
His brother replied, "Before, His Excellency Fils had too many scruples and didn't dare to do anything because the magnates in the city were still doing business with that Hugo. But now that the deal is over, maybe we can grab it back. ”
Powell Jr.'s eyes suddenly lit up, "Yes, the business is over, and absolutely no one will stop us from grabbing it." I don't believe Victor. Hugo couldn't bear it. If he doesn't come out, his men and his goods will be lost. ”
Thinking about the large number of people and goods in the warehouse, Powell Jr. and his brother became more and more excited, and their smiles gradually became hideous. It's a matter of fame and fortune, and there's nothing like robbery to make a fortune.
"It's definitely not enough for us brothers to do this." Powell Jr. thought about it, and felt that he still had to go back and pull some people, especially the old bank of the wizarding group and Louis Murphy. The Fils Report.
Leaving his brother to keep an eye on, Powell Jr. turned around and got on his horse and returned to the city. It's still morning, and he expects to be able to lead the team back by noon, which is about two hours.
And in the temporary warehouse of the town, Rubio, who had just arrived, also waved his hand and ordered his son: "Go, go immediately." We have all the people out and we can't stay any longer. ”
"Why?" Seth was inexplicable. His father had just stressed the serious consequences of being unprepared for a large number of long journeys, but in the blink of an eye, Rubio was about to pull the team on the road.
Rubio said with great firmness: "I have been in business all my life, and I have survived until now because of timidity."
If no one wants to harm us, we'll have to work harder at best. But if someone wants to harm us, once we find out that all our people in the city have run away, do you think they will chase after us? ”
Seth stammered again, and after a moment, said, "But we don't have that many carriages. If you want to transport people, you can't transport goods, and if you want to transport goods, you can't transport people. ”
Rubio snorted and sneered, "Go spend money and ask the people of this town to prepare lunch for us and prepare dry food for the road." Buy all their big animals, so that all of us may be fed and clothed.
Feed the horses and let the frail ones get on board. The goods that can be transported are transported away, and those that cannot be transported are simply burned. Just get the people away. ”
Rubio's decisiveness gave Seth an illusion that he couldn't recognize, and he called for the 'Holy Light' to confirm with Zhou Qingfeng, and the answer he received was: 'Don't care about those altars and jars, burn the excess goods, and focus on transporting people, this order was given by me.'" ’
What is a trench, this is a trench!
The materials that were finally procured, once they found that something was wrong, they said they would burn them.
Seth couldn't help but weakly persuade: "Master Hugo, if we scare ourselves, wouldn't it be in vain?" ”
"The valuable goods have already been shipped in advance, and most of the remaining supplies are worthless oats. It's only worth a hundred gold coins, and the white burn will be burned in vain. In short, you can't stay. ”
Hundreds of gold coins are still said to be worthless? Seth felt distressed when he heard this number, "Master, or can we sell it to the people in the town?" Lose less. ”
"No, we are transporting food to increase the enemy's difficulties, and we must not leave the enemy behind. Obey the order and burn it! "Zhou Qingfeng doesn't know where he is, but the order he gave from the information network is categorical!
