Chapter 168: The Diplomacy of the Traversers
"Anthony, you're an instant poisoned!" Eric grumbled, and asked, "What now?"
Anthony was silent for a moment and said: "In my opinion, this is just a technical adjustment! Even if the stock market crash comes, it will first fall sharply, and then pretend to rebound for a few days, so that the market makers can get out of the market, and then they will plummet and trap retail investors into shareholders." How can it be so fast!"
"Lord Earl, now is not the time to joke!"
Anthony smiled: "Okay, no kidding, let's find the willow fish pot and ask." ”
With that, he set up a chat group and pulled Liu Daoqing in.
"Fish pot, do you know about the cavalry troops sent out of Thrace City?"
Liu Daoqing immediately replied: "I don't know, in fact, I am also very puzzled." I'm rushing to Caterina to ask if she's gotten the news. ”
He soon came from the kitchen to the conference room, where the high-ranking members of the Elantz family, led by Katerina, were discussing the details of the cooperation with the high-ranking members of the South Sea Lizardmen organization led by Yunero, and everyone was a little surprised to see him come in in a hurry.
The only one who wasn't surprised was Yunero, who nodded and said in a private chat, "I guess you should be here too." ”
"What happened when the Thracian cavalry suddenly left the city?" asked Liu Daoqing.
Caterina was startled and looked at the Sage López.
"We didn't hear anything about it. The expression of the sage of López became serious, he looked at Younero and the others, and sighed, "Something urgent has happened, it seems that today's discussion can only end here." ”
Yunero smiled and nodded, and went out with his men.
For this visit and cooperation, they spent nearly two months on the road alone, and it was not long ago that they actually arrived at the Erantz family. Unlike Locke, who visited after the panda, he came to talk about big business with the Elantz family, so he was naturally more serious and formal.
Locke had only come to exchange some of the northern specialties for metal tools and instructors, and his business was not large, so it was easy to discuss it. During his three days at Elands Castle, he mainly spent some time with Caterina and others.
The "Lord of the Magic Sword", who carries seven magic swords, is really changeable in battle, where have everyone in the Elantz family seen such an opponent, they were all caught off guard at the beginning, let alone winning, and they couldn't even fight back decently. It wasn't until the third day that they finally got used to Locke's rhythm of fighting, but it was only "adapted", and it was still very difficult and almost impossible to turn defeat into victory.
This is a matter of course, as long as the class of the Demon Sword Master is well equipped enough, the advantage in heads-up is simply too great. Not to mention these people in the Elantz family, even among the traversers, there are few who can really defeat Locke without using legendary skills - basically either shooters or mages, at least melee combat is not to fantasize about this kind of thing.
What can you do with an opponent who can fly quickly around the magic sword and release three or five flying swords with different abilities to besiege you on all sides?
Fortunately, even after crossing over, Locke is still limited by the "Seven Swords", although the number of magic swords he has has exceeded ten, but the number of magic swords that can be carried and equipped on his body cannot exceed seven, and everything else can only be stored in the personal warehouse of the castle to avoid loss. Whenever he wanted to adjust the magic sword match, he had to go back to the castle, otherwise...... Imagine the scene surrounded by dozens of magic swords in the future, which is enough to make most people desperate.
After Locke left, several more travelers came to visit. They didn't talk about any business, they just came to talk. Everyone competed with several high-ranking members of the Elantz family, and they won and lost each other, but in general, they still had the upper hand, which made Caterina and others admire them very much, and they were also amazed by the organization called "Inhuman".
For example, Caterina and Otto are almost the top level of the strong people who often move around in the world, and the more advanced characters generally rarely go out, concentrating on studying the way to step into the legend. But any one of the "aliens" is enough to compete with them, and some even have a big advantage, such a background, if you think about it carefully, it is really surprising and a little scary.
And Yunero's visit shocked them even more - it turned out that there were also "strangers" who did big things, and they started a career in the South China Sea without showing their faces, and it would not be long before they might even establish a country and become king.
Because of these perceptions, the Elantz family is friendly and respectful to the travelers, and they hope that they can deepen their cooperation with each other, and preferably form reliable alliances.
Liu Daoqing really wanted to tell them that they had actually been allies for a long time, and they were even more reliable than ordinary allies - they were married. But he was afraid that Caterina would beat people in anger, so he could only hide his words in his heart.
"The Thracian cavalry left the city and was galloping south. Just a moment later, the head of the Erantz family in Thrace City sent a message by magic, "The number is about two thousand, well-equipped and elite!"
Caterina frowned, and replied with the same magic teleportation, "Roger." The search continues to determine the identity of the group. ”
"Yes. If there is any news, it will be reported as soon as possible. ”
After ending the communication, Caterina looked at everyone with a somewhat gloomy face: "After several losses in the royal family, there shouldn't be too much direct force left. Of course they can send two thousand cavalry, but what are they sending these soldiers and horses for?"
"Could it be that he is planning to make a detour to the Tarakhan region and attack the Trella Kingdom?" asked Liu Daoqing knowingly.
Caterina paused for a moment and looked at the teacher.
Sage López pondered for a long time and nodded: "This guess is indeed possible. Because the Molai War is currently deadlocked, the royal family urgently needs a big victory to boost morale, and they also need to win a big enough advantage to secure the nobles under their command. The Kingdom of Trela is a bit stronger than Morai, but it has no particularly dangerous passes or special means - at least not on the surface. If you can shoot a cold arrow suddenly, you may indeed get considerable benefits!"
"But why did they attack the Tarakhan region first? It's a remote and desolate place, and it's not good to take it down. Otto Spinola said.
Pierd Condi shook his head: "You are the old yellow calendar, since the new generation of Tara Khan's Earl Joseph succeeded to the throne, appointing the wise and developing the industry, their current financial income is very good, especially several specialties such as grass candy, and the profit is quite large." If you can occupy it and seize the production methods of those few special products, it will be worth at least as much as a large marquisate!"
"So it really seems that he went to fight Tara Khan?"
"Let's wait and see, anyway, if you really want to go to war, you must prepare food and grass or something......" López Sage said unhurriedly, not in a hurry at all.
