Human beings are really complex creatures full of contradictions.

In the beginning, White Horse City shed blood to defend against the orcs, but now, their descendants have dedicated such a city to their enemies for some benefit.

Wang Xiaotian did not expect that the battle of White Horse City would end in such a dramatic way.

Before the war began, he had thought that perhaps the Battle of Whitehorse would be a more tragic battle than the Battle of Nalai Gorge, and perhaps half of the tens of thousands of soldiers he had brought with him would remain in the city forever.

Looking at the majestic and historical vicissitudes of the silhouette of White Horse City from afar, Wang Xiaotian couldn't help but sigh.

"Wars are sometimes not won by fighting and bravery!"

That seemingly incomparably powerful city, countless powerful orc armies in history have been smashed to their heads and bloodied, but it will not be long before Wang Xiaotian will officially enter that city.

............

Inside White Horse Castle.

Far from being as precipitated as it seems, this majestic fortress city has wide and clean streets, flanked by grey gravel paved gravel roads lined with quirky shops that can be seen in the vibrancy and bustling appearance of the city from the shops and some "please queue" signs.

The architecture of Whitehorse is surprisingly not so old, and it is not as old as it is in the old impression of the city. With the influx of merchants, the city has undergone many transformations, and with each major change, countless new buildings have begun to rise from the ground.

As a matter of fact.

The inner city of Whitehorse is supposed to be a myriad of fortified bunkers and towers, built with ancient craftsmanship, and they are often lined up in the streets and alleys, prepared by the ancient people of Whitehorse for brutal street fighting.

Today, the old war buildings have been razed and replaced by spacious, more market-like shops.

In a closed conference room in the upper town of Whitehorse.

In the dimly lit conference room, several palm-sized exaggerated gems really emitted a soft shimmer, and on one side of this secret room, an ancient, elegantly shaped stove rose with a wisp of fragrance, and not only that, the stove also emitted a slight heat, making the cold secret room gradually warm.

"How's that?

A high-ranking person in Whitehorse City with his face hidden in the shadows asked, he was wearing a gorgeous robe, several huge gemstone rings on his left hand were shining, and most of his whole body was hidden in the shadows, but it couldn't hide the arrogance of the nobility on his body.

"The man who wants us to hand over all the troops of Whitehorse City to him, Baron Blackstone said that the first condition of cooperation is that he must take over Whitehorse City completely, and at the same time, he wants us to identify the nobles who are loyal to Count Andy, and a little ......"

A man in his forties recounted Wang Xiaotian's words in a deep voice, and suddenly, he paused for a moment, and then said in a very difficult voice.

"On another note, Baron Blackstone wants us to provide us with the financial information of the city's most valuable owners, so that they can protect us when they enter the city. ”

The people in the conference room are all the old foxes of White Horse City, some of them may not be very old, but when it comes to conspiracy and struggle, they are by no means inferior to those old politicians and old foxes, and when they heard Wang Xiaotian's reply, everyone was silent.

"Promise him!"

The aristocratic voice in the shadows said coldly, "Whitehorse City has been abandoned by Count Andy, and we have no way back!"

"According to the news brought by some of my friends, Earl Andy has collected most of the grain in the northwest, and winter is coming, not only in the great wilderness, but also in the entire northwest will face a major famine!"

All of them here are the high-level leaders of White Horse City, and they have a wide range of channels and resources in their hands. These people are well aware of the current situation in Whitehorse City.

Not long ago, Count Andy transferred the army from the Northern Wilderness.

At the same time, he also took with him most of the food reserves of White Horse City, apparently anticipating that this would be a famine winter.

And it's no wonder.

First the war with the Vitans, then the outbreak of domestic turmoil, and then the violet beacon smoke everywhere, it can be said that in recent years, the violet people's food has almost been consumed, and the war has destroyed everything, and Count Andy has seen this a long time ago.

Although I don't know what his plans were, he transferred all the troops and took all the food with him, and there is no doubt that he has completely abandoned White Horse City.

"There is not much food in the city! Our letters asking for help have been lost! We cannot sit idly by! In the most difficult times, it was White Horse City that held up half of the northwest sky, but Andy Adams betrayed us!"

The man in his forties roared viciously, a ruby scepter in his hand and slammed it on the ground as if that would give vent to his anger.

During the period of confrontation between Boer City and Erdos, the economy of the entire Northwest fell into a downturn, and only White Horse City supported most of the economic network of the Northwest through some unique resources in the Great Wilderness.

It is precisely because of the survival of White Horse City that Erdos's finances have not fallen into a state of collapse.

At this time, the angry man's name is Jonas, he is the leader of the largest chamber of commerce in Whitehorse City, he is not very old, but he is extremely skillful, he was once a penniless down-and-out scholar, when a scholar with a moral bottom line let go of the bottom line in his heart, he has wisdom that will make anyone feel uneasy.

During the period of the north-south confrontation in the west.

It was Jonas who gave a lot of aid to Erdos, and don't think that he was a loyal man to the Count, and the merchant was not so noble.

He was an ambitious man.

He hopes that through his economic support for Erdos, he will extend his hand of power into Erdos like capital infiltrates the aristocracy, and as long as he grasps the economic lifeline of Erdos, he will be the top group of people in the northwest.

However, he underestimated Andy Adams's ruthlessness, and he directly gave up Whitehorse City, which made Jonas very uncomfortable, not only did he lose all his money, but he even had to face the pressure of Wang Xiaotian now.

"Promise him!"

The other people in the conference room spoke one after another, and in their opinion, handing over White Horse City to Wang Xiaotian was not necessarily a bad thing.

Looking at the economic development of the southwest, compared to some of the northwest, the commercial policy pursued by the city of Ball is simply a paradise for merchants, if the city of white horse is accepted by the city of Bowl, it may be a major business opportunity for these capital merchants.

"Reply, but not so cheaply!Hehe, since that Baron Blackstone needs a list of allegiance to the Count, I think we might be able to cut out some of the obnoxious ones!"

Jonas responded weakly at first, and then there was a ruthlessness in his eyes, and it seemed that he was ready to use Wang Xiaotian's hand to borrow a knife to kill people.

This is a typical conspirator, when Wang Xiaotian's soldiers came to the city, he didn't think about how to save his life and save himself, and he actually thought about using Wang Xiaotian's power to make himself stronger.
