Chapter 1102: Identifying Yourself
For a whole day, the United Merchants Group did not even complete the twenty miles, and those robbers were like ghosts that lingered on the side, always cruising by the side.
In addition to the Wind Wolf Cavalry, Downton also finally got a glimpse of the fighting style of the Chigarhua Bull and the War Stag, the former is a minotaur riding a woolly rhinoceros, although they have no heavy armor, but their burly body and heavy totem poles make them undoubtedly the best heavy cavalry.
Many people watched them trample a group of guards into meat sauce with arrows, and then dragged the goods away calmly.
The deer people rode elk, took a light and dexterous route, and said that the wind wolf cavalry was good at riding and shooting, but what they were really used to was to use a scimitar to kill the opponent in close quarters after a wave of arrows were suppressed, but the deer people were different, they almost never got close, and only used a longbow to kill a large area of bloody rain.
The archery skills of these deer people are so precise that the gold coins hanging a hundred meters away can be nine times out of ten, even in the windy wilderness.
The deer people are not many in number, but they cause the most damage.
Downton didn't lose anything, so he didn't release a firebird to annihilate the enemy, after all, what the enemy's purpose was, he hadn't figured it out yet.
Merchants are creatures of interest, and when the Habsburg merchants saw that the Borgia were no longer attacked by bandits, they simply withdrew, and they were expelled by them when they wanted to follow.
Late at night, the principals sat in the tent to discuss countermeasures, but they couldn't find a way for a long time, so they sighed one by one.
"It's over, it's dead!"
Without the gold signboard of the wealthy family, those robbers will be even more unscrupulous, if they don't lose their goods, they will be executed if they flee back, and they will leave early.
Crash!
The tent was lifted, and everyone's eyes immediately swept over.
"How's it going?
"The damn maid said Downton had slept. I haven't even seen each other!"
The director who was pushed out to invite Downton looked gloomy, picked up the kettle, and poured it violently.
"It seems that we can only save the country by curves, let's go find Alice!"
The group said to do it, got up together, and went to find the eldest lady.
"I wonder what they're talking about?"
Alice has no intention of sleeping. I want to talk to Downton, but I can't put it down.
"Hey, with our identity, we are not qualified to participate at all!"
The steward sighed, those merchant groups, which is not tens of millions of goods, not to mention the principal, even the servants don't take care of them with a straight eye.
"What's going on out there?"
Listening to the sound of chaotic footsteps outside, the steward got up. When I walked out, I opened the tent and saw a group of principals who were walking and couldn't wait to shout.
"Miss Alice, you must help us!"
"Yes, it's up to you whether you live or die!"
"You're in the fur business, aren't you? As long as you come back alive, our family will buy all the goods. ”
A group of principals chattered. There was no intemperate pleading, and a few of them even knelt down in a hurry.
"What's going on?"
Alice was stunned. "How can I be virtuous, how can I be qualified to help you?"
"Miss, this is your mistake, you have a way to live, and you can't forget us!"
Some people complained, they felt that Alice was following Downton. Safety must be worry-free, as for the goods, it is a wool, as the hand of the king of Frankfurt, the fingers leak a little. That's not all.
"Miss, I knelt down for you, it was my fault for being disrespectful to you before, you have a lot, forgive me once, just this time, no matter what, give us a way out!"
A big businessman knelt down and cried with a handful of snot and tears.
Alice panicked, the person he knew in front of her, in order to sell the goods, she had waited outside the house for three days, but people blew her away without even seeing her face, but now, she knelt humbly on the ground......
"Guys, did you make it clear?"
The steward was puzzled, "We're worried too!"
"It's not funny!"
"Stop talking nonsense, what the hell does Lord Downton mean?"
"That's right, if he asks for money, he will be willing to help, and he will give an amount, and we will definitely not bargain!"
The merchants felt that Downton should have a way to retreat from the enemy, and now he did not appear, just to take advantage of the opportunity to blackmail.
"Who? Downton?"
The steward looked stunned and plucked out his ears, "I said everyone, you are too high-minded, how can I know the Duke of Downton?"
Alice was stunned for a moment, but guessed a possibility.
"Okay, your goods, we have bought them from several merchant groups, and please pay more attention to the rest of the matter!"
A few principals were already angry, and they directly took out the golden ticket to trade, and they didn't ask the price, and the extra money was even a labor fee.
"Wait, what the hell is going on?"
Looking at the total of three million golden tickets in his hand, the steward was dumbfounded, "Downton?
"Miss, this is your fault, be content!"
Some of the masters had a bad face, and thought that they wanted the lion to open his mouth.
"What nonsense?"
Someone was worried that these words would annoy Alice, so he pulled his companion and quickly lost his smile.
"The Duke of Downton you're talking about, is that Young Master Romeo?"
Alice asked.
"What Romeo? That's your King of Frankfurt, the famous Duke of Downton, the gossip boyfriend of Bavarian Rose!"
"Or the first general star in the north, the new NATO speaker!"
"Aren't he friends with that Barak, let him get a letter and ask him for help!"
The principals are gossiping.
Alice was stunned, no wonder these businessmen would be so respectful, it turned out that it was all because of Romeo, no, now it's Downton.
"The goddess is above, the old decay heard me right, right?"
The steward was frightened, and quickly thought about whether he had made a rude behavior, and then he was so excited that if the eldest lady became his lover, wouldn't the Alice family be able to walk sideways in the country in the future?
Conte, who rushed to hear the movement, happened to hear this, and froze completely, laughing that he still wanted revenge. I'm afraid I won't have a chance in ten lifetimes, right?
The guards who followed behind glanced at each other, and they all left Conte, a magician who ruled the pinnacle, for them it was an unattainable backstage, but Downton, that is, a storage that could not be seen even when looking up. People are marshals, and they can destroy Conte with a blow.
"It's a good thing I didn't offend him!"
The guards were happy and afraid, and immediately decided to assist Alice well, as for patting Downton's sycophants, they didn't even think about it, because they were not qualified at all.
Alice didn't take the money, but she still spoke for the principals.
"Something?"
Downton glanced at the eldest lady and continued to study the map.
Poof!
Alice couldn't hold back after all. He knelt down and said in a humble tone, "Meet your lordship!"
"You know everything?" Downton is most afraid of this kind of scene, as a superior, it is really not easy to want a friend, "Get up, sit!"
Alice's lips furled a few times. But thinking of Downton's brilliant achievements and rumors, he never dared to speak.
"Asking for an audience for those principals?"
Downton asked rhetorically.
"Yes!"
Juliet was seen coming in with tea. Alice hurriedly got up and thanked her, even if she was a maid of the King's Hand, her status was higher than herself.
"Let them in!"
A group of principals came in, and after saluting, they automatically stood next to them, let alone sat down. Even the atmosphere didn't dare to take a breath, and all of them lowered their eyebrows and were pleasing to the eyes.
This scene made Alice sit on pins and needles, and she also realized more clearly how powerful Downton's power is!
"Do you want to live, or do you want to die with your cargo?"
Downton straightened up. The gaze swept over the faces of the crowd.
"My lord, we pay no less than 50 million in taxes to the free trade zone every year, you may abandon us!"
The principals cried.
"Shut up and answer the questions!"
As soon as Juliet spoke, the principals felt their necks tighten, and the maid had really frightened them by the murder of the morning maid.
"Without the goods, we have to die!"
The principals are going to despair.
"Then you will die!"
Downton frowned.
"Don't, I'll choose to live!"
As soon as the head of the organic spirit heard this, he knew that Downton might have a way, and hurriedly spoke.
"My lord, don't make us happy, if you have anything to say, just say it?"
Soon, the principals knelt on the ground and knocked their heads to the sky, if it weren't for Downton's identity, they would have given gold coins and beauties a long time ago.
"Everyone's guards are concentrated, there are more than 3,000 people, and it is also a large force, and now it is passive, completely because of the drag of the caravan!"
Downton observes the expressions of these people, looking for the ones who won't be half-hearted.
"You're saying that you threw the cargo at them as bait and we took the opportunity to escape?"
"Fool, my lord means to stumble the bandits' pace with the goods, and then we will wait for the opportunity to attack until they are defeated!"
There is talent in the principal, and he guessed Downton's thoughts.
"You're good, are you interested in working in the royal court in Frankfurt?"
Downton smiled.
"I am willing to die for my lords!"
The named principal was stunned for a moment, then knelt down, and endured the great joy in his heart, being an official is much better than being the principal in a merchant's house.
Not to mention the improvement of social status, black income alone can make people wake up with a smile from their dreams, and look at the jealous eyes of other principals to know how difficult this position is.
"Very good, the plan is to drop the supplies, gather lightly, and then attack the robbers along the way!" Downton's expression became fierce, "Whoever wants to eat this cake must be prepared to break his teeth!"
"But we can't beat them, can we?"
There are main worries, these three bandit groups are notorious, and with everyone's escort strength, they are not opponents at all.
"The three bandit groups are not of the same heart, they all wish that the other party would reduce their personnel at this time, and then take the opportunity to get more supplies, so rest assured, once the war starts, they will definitely not support each other, as long as there is a bandit group, my subordinates can still fight!"
Downton reassured everyone.
The principals are still worried.
"Hmph, the master didn't let you be cannon fodder, but let you pick up the leaks after the battle, if it wasn't for the master's cavalry regiment not brought, it would be strange to use you!"
Juliet rolled her eyes, these people really live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!
The principals laughed and hurriedly sent the sycophants. (To be continued......)
