In a slightly empty living room, Wood sat on the main seat, wearing a Western-style aristocratic outfit with a slight touch of grace in his belly, while several attendants on either side of him were silent.
Several knights in armor, as well as Wang Xiaotian's old acquaintance Brian, bent slightly to show respect, and then Brian took out a secret letter from his bosom, which he handed to one of his attendants, and then passed it to Wood.
Wood stared at the secret letter carefully for a long time, especially looking at the family crest on the envelope, which symbolized the Earl of the West, he squinted his eyes slightly, and said to Brian in front of him, "Hmm... Lord Andy wants me to break the so-called 'Greystone Alliance'?"
"Yes," Brian bowed slightly, "Of course, Lord Andy also wants you to capture the head of the Greystone Alliance, there are some things, your lord is very interested." ”
Brian paused for a moment, and then said, "And Lord Andy has also prepared a dark magic team for you, presumably Lord Andy should know Count Andy's determination!"
Wood's expression froze, and then he said with a smile: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, since it's the Earl's order, Wood will immediately rearm and fight!"
Brian couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and at the same time, he lowered his head in respect, and his lowered eyes were filled with viciousness.
Capture Wang Xiaotian alive, and then humiliate him fiercely and torture him, of course, the premise is to torture the manufacturing methods of those unique goods, and then greet Wang Xiaotian well, Brian thought resentfully.
Suddenly, at this very moment, several knights with hurried expressions broke into the hall.
The leading knight knelt down on his knees, and he took out a secret scroll from his bosom and presented it to Wood, who clearly saw that the seal on the secret scroll was Wood's family crest.
This is an expedited copy of Wood's book.
Wood unhurriedly opened the scroll and read it carefully, and in an instant, his face changed, and he quietly took the scroll in his hand into his arms, turned his head and said to Brian with an ugly face: "I'm really sorry, I'm afraid I won't be able to send troops!"
"Why!" Brian was anxious, and he asked eagerly, "Lord Wood, this is Earl Andy's order!"
"I know it's the Earl's orders," said Wood, helplessly, "but things have changed!"
"The notorious Blood Moon Thieves have their eyes on me, and not long ago, Blackstone Town was attacked by unknown forces, and the scouts I sent were all wiped out, and the Blood Moon people have probably occupied the town, so I can't be distracted at all. ”
Wood said with an aggrieved expression, and he spread his hands to show that he couldn't do anything.
Brian's face was ugly, the Blood Moon Thieves, this is a ghost thief group that circulates in the aristocratic circle, as the executioner of the royal family, the Blood Moon Thieves Group is attacking local nobles everywhere, but they also carefully follow the rules of the game and never stay in one territory for too long.
And at this moment, the arrival of the Blood Moon means that they have their eyes on Wood's territory.
You must know that Wood belongs to the local aristocracy, and he is a person in the line of the Earl of the West, and he can't disobey the Earl's order at all, but the blood moon represents the power of the center in a sense, which is also something Wood needs to be afraid of.
In the rules of the nobles' game, territorial property is sacrosanct, and between facing his own crisis and the Earl's orders, Wood undoubtedly chose to retreat, anyway, the blood moon will not stay long, sooner or later it will be gone.
As for whether the Blood Moon Thieves will stay for a month, or two months, or half a year, who knows? Anyway, the battle in the Northland may be going on for a while, and Wood has time to drag it out.
And it's not far from the city of Boer.
Somewhere in a valley, Crimson Moon's troops are stationed.
In one of the tents, a knight asked puzzledly, "My lord, how long are we going to stay here?"
"How long?" Crimson Moon was still wearing armor, and he couldn't see his face clearly, he said lightly: "It's going to stay for a while, anyway, the brothers are tired during this time, let's rest here for a while." ”
"We don't need to do anything, we just need to rest and soon, soon we'll have a chance. ”
The Crimson Moon has eyes far away, their Blood Moon has been stigmatized for too long, the Northland is now in a scorching war, and the royal family is planning something, he believes that it will not be long before their Crimson Moon will once again become an army of glory and regain the glory of the Blood Moon.
In fact, the reason why the Crimson Moon appeared here came from Wang Xiaotian.
Yes, it's because of Wang Xiaotian.
When the Greystone Alliance expelled the merchants, Wang Xiaotian had a long conversation with Nick of the Violet Chamber of Commerce all night.
Originally, Wang Xiaotian still had some illusions, hoping to sit on the ground in front of many businessmen, but in this era when force determines everything, Brian's appearance interrupted Wang Xiaotian's fantasy.
Wang Xiaotian, who had lost his advantage, was originally very passive in the face of the businessmen, but due to the appearance of Nick, everything took a turn for the better.
Interests, this cold world, everything is naked in front of interests.
Nick's words and deeds left a deep impression on Wang Xiaotian, but this was not enough to impress Wang Xiaotian to change his interests, but when he fell into passivity, Nick entered his field of vision.
Nick came with his mission, and it was also an exchange of interests, he hoped to get Wang Xiaotian's goods, especially arms! Nick's own background is not just a businessman, a chamber of commerce with the name of violet, you can imagine what kind of chamber of commerce this is.
The Violet Chamber of Commerce represented by Nick is, in a sense, the product of the royal family fighting against the four counts, take the Earls of the West, for example.
Earl Andy is backed by the Great Wilderness, and obtains a lot of wealth from the Great Wilderness every year, the capital is expanding rapidly, although the Great Wilderness is barren, but it has rich mineral resources, and the Earl of the West has mastered the Great Wilderness Passage, and only needs to pay a negligible amount of food to let the orcs work for him, obtain a large number of precious resources, and what is even more terrifying is that every year he also organizes slave hunting activities, those delicate rabbit girls, cat women, can be used as a political gift, to gain the favor of the nobles.
With these resources in his hands, Count Andy is like a vampire attached to the orcs, but the blood he absorbs is not distributed to the Violet royal family, which the royal family cannot tolerate, so the Violet Chamber of Commerce was established.
However, although the Violet Chamber of Commerce was established by order of the royal family, he still had many difficulties in the Great Wilderness, and the entire Great Wilderness was still in the hands of Count Andy, so the Violet Chamber of Commerce had almost done nothing in recent years.
Therefore, the royal family desperately needs an opportunity to curb the expanding local power of the Earl of the West.
And Wang Xiaotian's appearance made a certain big man in the royal family see an opportunity, Nick didn't realize it at first, he just witnessed the mass production of rune weapons in the Graystone Alliance, and realized the importance of rune weapons, so Nick proposed an agreement with Wang Xiaotian to trade.
At the same time, for the sake of trade control, Nick proposed to let Wang Xiaotian occupy the town of Blackstone and suppress the passage to the Great Wilderness.
And in order to dispel Wang Xiaotian's concerns, Nick also revealed the news that the war in the north was in turmoil, and the Earl of the West was about to go north, so Wang Xiaotian, who did not need to run into the behemoth of the Earl of the West, decided to make a deal with Nick.
Wang Xiaotian also had his own considerations, he believed that the Greystone Alliance did not lack technology, it was only a lack of resources such as gold coins at present, as well as time! As long as he was given a chance to trade with foreign countries, the Greystone Alliance could instantly grow into a behemoth that made Violet Dou look at it.
In fact, fate is still attached to Wang Xiaotian.
Originally, Nick didn't have such a great ability to decide on the transfer of the Blood Moon, but when he proposed the emergence of the Greystone Alliance and the power of the rune armament, the royal family members behind him realized another value of the Greystone Alliance - containing the Earl of the West.
Therefore, the big man behind the Violet Chamber of Commerce decided to support the Graystone Alliance, and was open to the Graystone Alliance's transactions, and at the same time, he mobilized the Blood Moon Thieves to go to the Great Wilderness.
There are two considerations for mobilizing the Blood Moon Thieves Group, first, if the Graystone Alliance really can't support it, then the Blood Moon will swallow the Graystone Alliance, and then plunder the Graystone Alliance's arms technology;
Of course, the big man's calculations were really good, and he was not afraid to raise a tiger and fight against the hungry wolf of the Earl of the West, because the Greystone Alliance had a fatal flaw - an alliance of orcs.
The Greystone Alliance is dominated by orcs, and he is congenitally in a weak position, and Violet occupies the commanding heights morally, once the Greystone Alliance has a change, it is not only Violet, but the entire human world will strangle the Graystone Alliance.
Maybe this big man never dreamed of what kind of monster he would be cultivating!
And the political transactions and planning involved in this are probably beyond even Nick's imagination.
This is the interest, and the perspective of people is different, and the appeal of interest is also different.
Wang Xiaotian himself couldn't have imagined that in a daze, his Greystone Alliance was opened to the maximum amount of materials, and the transactions he was about to carry out with Nick were almost all traded at cost price, and with the support of the Royal Chamber of Commerce, the giant beast of the Greystone Alliance gradually began to make its voice heard.
