Following the mishap at Dislafa, the fall of Plevy spread throughout Calantoc in the shortest possible time. It was the first time since jihad that humanity had encountered a nation that had been conquered by the undead. This inevitably led to panic, and the Bavarians fled from the towns where no undead had yet set foot and no one wanted to be a thoughtless walking corpse.

Outside the Cathedral of Wish of Light, the raunchy paladin leans against the wall, his eyes fixed on the ever-changing scenery outside. He looked very comfortable, but he was waiting for someone who might be about to come out of it.

"Barbaroz, you're finally reluctant. The paladin grabbed the bishop who had just come out of it and dragged him to the back of the road.

"Damn, what are you doing, let it go! Andal!" the bishop named Barbaroz looked around nervously, afraid that his embarrassment would be seen by the other bishops.

"There shouldn't be anyone here. After dragging Barbaroz to a corner, Andal let go of his hands, "Did the bishopric council just now approve a proposal to crusade against the Bavarian undead?" ”

"You've said it's a synod, and whatever was discussed, do you think I'll tell you, as bishop?" the young bishop straightened his collar, which had been rudely messed up by Andal.

Andal said with an unhappy face: "Don't pretend to me, you have only been a bishop for a few days. I'm sure he would be interested if I tell Archbishop Peter about your early years. ”

"Don't threaten me!" Barbaroz was not afraid of Andal's threats in the slightest, "You think I don't have your black material." You dare to make a small report, be careful that I will drag you to death, don't think that no one in the Holy Light Covenant can control you arrogant and domineering guards. ”

Seeing that it was not good, Andal suddenly changed to a smiling face: "Archbishop Barbaroz." Don't be angry, I'm just curious if I need to go to Bavaria to fight heresy, and I don't have any other ideas. You can be kind enough to tell me whether or not this proposal was voted on at the meeting just now. ”

Barbaroz glanced at his friend with disdain, "Won't you go back and ask Her Highness Sophia, who supports the meeting, who knows far more than we like who can only vote twice," the young bishop's words more or less revealed his dissatisfaction with the meeting just now.

"Well, forget it. As soon as Barbaroz mentioned the name Sophia, Andal seemed a little unnatural, "I'm afraid I won't be able to ask a little girl about this." ”

"Hmph. Waste!" Barbaroz paused and turned away, "The proposal didn't go through, and you can rest for a while." ”

Idle for a while? Andal thought it was ironic. But he soon realizes the information that Barbaroz has leaked to him.

"Since it's temporary, let's say that we will definitely clean up the mess in the future. Having received the hint, Andal happily decided to go back and wait for the coming order.

"I said Salian, are you going to go back like this?"

Salian's face was gloomy: "Dragon City has already asked me not to interfere in this war, this is beyond the scope of Dragon City's mediation. You know Kakulos. Eternal Dragon City will not directly intervene in any wars that only take place between humans. ”

"I understand. This is also the code that the Acropolis of Issu followed. "But I'm curious if this is really the reason you're leaving?" As a friend for many years, he couldn't believe that the dragon in front of him would give up because of such a small setback.

That being said, Sarian also knew that the conflict between Bohemia and Bavaria was not a border conflict in the first place. He had a faint sense that there were invisible hands manipulating the situation behind his back, and the emerging belief in the god of war reminded him of some dusty past. He needed to make a trip to Dragon City to find out everything he could about Arman, the god of war. Having never experienced a holy war, he did not know how a deity that was supposed to die suddenly appeared as a follower. In addition, there are also reasons why he has to go back on the Dragon City side.

"I'll tell you the truth. Not really. Salian said, "Eternal Dragon City is in some trouble. Batu the Dragon Eater and the Abyss Lord are fighting the idea of the Eternal Dragon City. As one of the few envoys, I have to make a trip to Dragon City in person, as it may involve some important changes in strategy, so I have to put it down. ”

"Batu the Dragon Eater, Mooris, the Ninth Abyss Lord, is a headache combination. Thinking of this, Kakulos also had a bit of a headache. As a member of the Acropolis, he knew that the gates of hell guarded by the Acropolis would always be the primary target of the demons.

"Need the help of the Acropolis?" Kakulos said, "I've heard that Batu the Dragon Eater is very bad for you dragons, and I think the Acropolis will be happy to help if you want outside help." ”

"Haha, this is exempt. Sarian clicked on the portal that would allow him to return to the Eternal Dragon City, "It's a great irony to have a few people come and help the dragon." Immediately, dressed in a blue robe, Salian stepped into the dimensional gate that was just large enough for his height.

Looking at the dragon's departing figure, Kakulos drew his sword and said comfortably, "It's okay anyway, it's better to play with these necromancer blood mages." ”

The port city, a mecca for merchants, Hanseatic was as busy as ever, with ships coming and going from all over the city crowding the city's ports. These goods, which come from all corners of Carantoc, need to be negotiated and traded here as quickly as possible, and then quickly loaded onto the ship to their final destination.

The reason for this rush was that the captains had to complete the last wave of the summer deal before the monsoon changed direction. In the spring, trade to and from Hanseatic becomes overland. Rather than the slower overland caravans, the merchants preferred more trade by sea.

More important than trade should be the ongoing Chamber of Commerce meetings. The quarterly Chamber of Commerce meeting is the ultimate Hanseatic eventually. Merchants with different levels of authority and representatives from the businessmen decide on plans for the next quarter and even the following year at the meeting. Preparing for a rainy day, assessing the degree of investment risk, manufacturing industry standards and norms, mediating asset disputes between businessmen, etc., are all topics to be discussed at the Chamber of Commerce meeting.

“...... Resolution XXIII on the recovery of loans from the Principality of Bohemia. Should we remind that fat dead man that it's time to pay it back?"

When gold mines appeared in the Monria mountains, the Hanseatic League lent more loans to Mithrid II, hoping that he would make a difference and successfully reclaim the Monria mountains. The alliance will acquire a 50% stake in the gold mine and the right of first refusal under a secret agreement to borrow money. According to relevant information, there is a very high probability of a super-large gold mine in the mountains of Monria, which will be very helpful for the future commercial development of the Hanseatic League.

In the face of great interests, the Chamber of Commerce gave the loan to Misrid II, who was good at profligacy, without reaching a consensus. Bohemia was embarrassed by the war, and many people in the Chamber of Commerce began to fear that they would not be able to recover the money. The rise of the undead has only deepened the Chamber of Commerce's concerns, and many of the delegates have become impatient, and they have even begun to consider directly arming aid to Misrid II, who cannot be supported by the mud.

"I warned you last year not to lend money to an unbridled fat man like Mithrid II. Now you have seen that you are sinking into a deep quagmire!" Although the person who spoke was a new face, none of the members of the Chamber of Commerce present dared to refute his words. You know, what a terrible guy to be able to grow from a newcomer to a member who has a certain say in meetings in just a few years. And many people also noticed the powerful energy behind him, which was the back of an empire.

It was Greon who was scolding his colleagues for their short-sightedness, and although he had secretly mixed up the loan to Bohemia, he had recovered most of it before he knew the risk.

One businessman suggested: "Maybe we can use some strong tactics to force them to comply, and they won't want to pay back if they don't suffer a little." ”

"What's the tough one? send out the debt-collecting thugs who can't even hold their swords, or the full-bellied guards of the Hanseatic city. Are they sure they can win against the Bohemians who have been trained in battle?I almost forgot to remind you that the Duchy of Bohemia is small, but they have a Knights of the Maple Leaf with pure Batenian blood, do you really have the confidence to defeat them? And I will tell you that if the Duchy of Bohemia is eaten by the undead, you will also lose all your money. ”

Green's words left many of the businessmen present speechless. Now it seems that only by helping the Bohemians win will it be possible to recover the loans that have been lent out. Because the Bohemians have won the undead, they can also use the chips of their victorious army to refuse to pay the loan. After all, it is no longer Misrid II who is the speaker of the principality, but Prince Khalid who has returned from Patternia.

"It seems that the mercenaries of Monaris can only solve this problem. Someone muttered softly.

"Mercenaries are expensive, are you sure it's a good deal?" Greon warned of the risks of hiring Monaris mercenaries, "and if it fails, it will be worth the cost." ”

The meeting fell silent for a long time, and then someone said, "May I ask Mr. Green, is there anything you can do?"

This is the moment Grien was waiting for: "What do you think if someone replaces this Bohemian, wins the war against the undead, and guarantees that all your previous commercial interests in the Duchy of Bohemia will not be compromised in the slightest?"

"How can there be such a good thing in the world, the war situation is not clear yet, how can it be possible to guarantee that everything will go well?"

"Yes! The Habsburgs are capable of protecting all your interests in Bohemia!" said Green, confidently. (To be continued......)
