Chapter 256: The Battle of High-end Combat Power

"In less than ten days, the business alliance has gone from losing two cities to the collapse of the 50,000-strong army of the Trimber Kingdom to regain the entire territory, and counterattacking and occupying the two counties of the Trimber Kingdom, so now more than a month has passed, the Trimber Kingdom should be destroyed, right?"

Dorres pouted, "What, I can't even understand this battle." When I arrived, the forces of the Merchant Alliance were in the midst of a confrontation with the Four-Nation Alliance, which had traveled all over the four countries at the invitation of Trimber VII to come to the rescue and drive the troops of the Merchant Alliance out of the country.

However, the four-nation alliance claimed that they were here to mediate, and that they were blocking the way of the commercial alliance army in order to separate the two armies from another big fight. There is nothing to say about this bias, everyone knows that the army of the Kingdom of Trimber is really vulnerable. If it weren't for Trimber VII's big money, who would want to offend the business alliance? ”

"Then there was no conflict between the two armies?" interjected Josk, who had never heard of such a ridiculous war.

"Is it possible??The rabble of the Business Alliance is okay to defend, and no one wants to let them attack the enemy's heavily guarded defensive formation, they are going to the Kingdom of Trimber to earn military merits, and by the way, they are looting the territories, manors and castles of the nobles of the rich Kingdom of Trimber. No one is a fool, and no one is willing to do anything to die. Now, President Cumberlet of the Two-Headed Dragon Chamber of Commerce is urgently consulting with the leaders of the Four-Nation Alliance to see what kind of conditions will allow them to withdraw their troops and ignore the war between the Kingdom of Trimber and the Business Alliance......"

"My lord, you don't know, when I came, the army of the Commercial Alliance had already occupied the seven counties of the Trimber Kingdom, almost half of the country, but they had never fought a serious battle, either the defenders of the Trimber Kingdom scattered when they saw the banner of the Merchant Alliance, or the local nobles raised the white flag and surrendered. There was even a captain of the garrison of the county town who sent to President Cumberlet and told him that as long as he rewarded him with the beautiful daughter of the lord, he would open the gates and let the troops of the merchant alliance enter the city, and the president agreed......"

Dorres said dryly, and took a large glass of water on the table and gulped it down.

Shi Fatzi crashed in, he had just returned from the construction site inspection, and he was anxious when he heard that there was a war between the Trimber Kingdom and the Business Alliance, his father was the glass agent of the Trimber Kingdom, and he didn't know if he could protect the safety of the whole family in this battle?

Dorres still didn't understand this truth, and said without waiting for Shi Fatzi to speak: "Don't worry, Brother Shi, your whole family is fine." Your father is like an old fox, and he has long since escaped and lived with the whole family in the Dawn Academy. And also with all the money to buy glass in several warehouses. I asked him why he bought so much glass, and your father said that glass is a thing that doesn't break and doesn't rot. When the Peterson Chamber of Commerce opened up a sea trade route to the adults, he was ready to entrust the Peterson Chamber of Commerce to transport all these glasses to the Northland, not to mention ten times the price, but three or four times the earn. ”

Shi Fatzi finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that his family was fine, but then when he heard that his father was going to go to the family territory to earn money, his face also turned red, and he looked embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

Everyone in the room laughed.

Lorist patted Shi Fatzi on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, Uncle is a wonderful person." I welcome him to set up shop in our family estate and make money. As long as he doesn't violate the family rules and doesn't bully others, how much money he can earn is his ability. If I do a good job, I can also ask him to sell our family's specialties externally. ”

"Alright, Dorus, you can continue with the war in the kingdom of Trimber. ”

"Yes, sir. Dorus thought for a moment and said, "Now there are as many as 100,000 troops of the merchant alliance who have invaded the kingdom of Trimber, because they found that the kingdom of Trimber is an empty shelf, with fat but no bones, so everyone wants to go up and take a bite. Almost all the mercenaries in Moriente City ran there, and even the old Gary Lando of the Crow Tavern was not willing to be lonely, and they set up a mercenary group with Ledos to rush over to make a fortune, according to Sister Louise, they were going to go to those noble manors in the countryside to raid their homes.

Trimber VII, who had only one tendon in his head, finally found himself free, and finally came to his senses in the face of the enemy's large-scale pressure on the border and the destruction of the country. While ordering the famous general and proud Earl Edmund of the Trimber Kingdom who ran back bare-bottomed to hang the gallows, he sent an envoy for help to the neighboring countries to ask them to rescue the Trimber Kingdom.

Trimber VII spent a lot of gold coins for reinforcements at the same time instructed his envoys to trumpet the so-called threat theory of commercial alliances in neighboring countries, accusing the commercial alliance of having shifted its expansion to these countries after losing the former Krisson Empire, a powerful enemy in the north, and the kingdom of Trimber was the first victim, so the countries of Circumvent must be vigilant and unite to stop the ambition of the commercial alliance, otherwise it will be their turn to be invaded next by these surrounding countries.

To be honest, Trimber VII is also very difficult to deal with, and he has been a king for more than 20 years, and after receiving reinforcements from four countries to form a coalition to block the advance of the commercial alliance army, Trimber VII finally breathed a sigh of relief and could sleep peacefully.

However, Trimbert VII still felt that the coalition forces that came to the rescue were not strong enough, and the envoys he sent were still running around, lobbying more countries around the world to send troops to join the coalition, and then drive the troops of the merchant alliance back, preferably all the way to the city of Morent, and force the merchant alliance to sign a surrender agreement. He thinks that his demands are not high, but that the business alliance will not be involved in the production of glass, and the tax exemption and preferential treatment of glass in the Kingdom of Trimber will continue to ......"

"Day, isn't that too demanding? This Trimber VII's brain really only has one tendon, and when is it still holding the glass and not letting go. El commented.

"Who said it wasn'......" Dorres chimed in, "This request has left the coalition forces who came to the rescue dumbfounded, and the business alliance has clearly rejected Trimber VII's request. They proposed that a truce between the two sides was okay, but that Trimber VII had to apologize and make reparations for the Mayflower raid and the invasion of the Merchant Alliance, and most importantly by recognizing the Merchant Alliance's territorial rights to the seven counties of the Kingdom of Trimber that it had occupied, which meant that the Merchant Alliance was no longer prepared to return the seven counties and would bring them under his jurisdiction......

Now the commanders of the four-nation alliance are very troubled, they only have a total of 47,000 people, and the pressure on the 100,000 or so troops of the commercial alliance is not ordinary, although accepting a large number of benefits from Trimber VII does not mean that they are willing to fight to the death with the army of the commercial alliance, especially Trimber VII still hopes that they will counterattack the city of Morente, which is simply wishful thinking. They negotiated with President Cumberlet of the Two-Headed Dragon Chamber of Commerce to end the war as soon as possible, and then go back with a lot of benefits.

It's just that they don't know that President Cumberlet is also troubled, but most of the hundreds of thousands of men under his command do not obey the call, and only know how to toss and turn in the seven counties of the occupied kingdom of Trimber. The army of the commercial alliance is also the armed brigade of the seven chambers of commerce, the city defense brigade, and the light cavalry patrol brigade can be relied on, but these people together are less than 30,000, because they are afraid of being raided by the four-nation alliance, so they also adopt defensive arrangements......

The current situation in the Kingdom of Trimber is defensive against defensive, negotiation against negotiating. The daily newspaper Morent is already ridiculing this war as a sit-down war, and it is not known how long it will drag on. ”

No one expected that this sit-in war would last for three months, and when Dorus left the city of Moldent, the sit-down war had only begun for more than ten days.

"Are you sure that the Big Seven of the Business Alliance are now all set their sights on the Kingdom of Trimber, even the Chikde Chamber of Commerce, and they won't be attacking our family's Hilovas territory anytime soon?"

"Yes, sir. Dorus replied, "When I boarded the ship, I just saw the Two-Headed Dragon Chamber of Commerce, the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce, the Peterson Chamber of Commerce, and the Chickrid Chamber of Commerce each sending a brigade of reinforcements to the Kingdom of Trimber. The remaining three of the Big Seven, the Fude Chamber of Commerce is taking over the Prigas Province of the Duchy of Rum, the Liward Chamber of Commerce is stepping up to persuade the Duchy of Morbia to follow the Principality of Rum and merge into the business alliance, and the Vicia Chamber of Commerce is hesitating, they have invested too much in the Kingdom of Rydlis, and they are very unwilling to let it go. ”

"By the way, my lord, when I came, President Peterson secretly told me that the Chikrid Chamber of Commerce originally wanted to invite eight second-level and above great swordsmen to attack and kill you, and you killed all of their ship's good men at sea...... "Dorres remembered something important.

"What did you say?" El, Josk and the others were startled and jumped up: "You should have said something so important earlier......"

"Hehe, it's okay. Dorus waved his hand and smiled: "The plan of the Chicked Chamber of Commerce will not come true. Because the high-end forces of the Business Alliance are now running towards the Trimber Kingdom, even the Great Sword Master of the Chikde Chamber of Commerce is no exception. ”

"Are you sure?" Shi Fatzi frowned and said, "What does the war over there in the Trimber Kingdom have to do with those great swordsmen? Besides, the high-end force brought by the Cumberlet President of the Two-Headed Dragon Chamber of Commerce is still less? Will the Chikde Chamber of Commerce want to make a noise? My lord, you must pay attention to your own safety in the future, a great sword master is easy to deal with, and you are afraid of them in a hurry, and the tigers are also afraid of wolves......"

"Well," Dores nodded, "Speaking of which, this is still the ghost of Trimber VII, with the Four-Nation Alliance in front of the army of the Commercial Alliance, he is ready to rearm the Trimber Kingdom." But the problem is that the kingdom of Trimber has been peaceful for nearly two hundred years, the army is extremely cowardly and vulnerable, and the Golden Knight of the kingdom, who is the backbone of the military force, was concentrated by him and lost all in the attack on the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce.

Without these military nobles who dare to fight, the soldiers of the kingdom will have no qualified commanders, and even if a group of lions is handed over to those timid nobles, they will be taken into a flock of sheep. Trimbert VII realized this mistake and changed his course and made a strange move, since my army cannot reach the enemy's combat power, then it is not enough to pull the enemy's combat power to the same level as my army?

Therefore, Trimber VII hired people to vigorously recruit those high-end combat forces in the surrounding countries, not to ask them to join the army of the Trimber Kingdom, but to let them come and assassinate the golden swordsmen and great swordsmen in the army of the Commercial Alliance. A sky-high reward was offered. Killing a Golden Knight is 10,000 Gold Ford, killing a Rank 1 Great Sword Master is 100,000 Gold Ford, 200,000 a Level 2 Great Sword Master, and 3rd Class Rank Great Sword Master is 500,000 ......"

My day, this reward is scary enough, and even Lorist is a little excited to wonder if he should go to the kingdom of Trimber to earn a few million goldfords and come back......

"Does it work?" El asked, skeptically.

"Yes!" Dores replied categorically, "In the short seven or eight days between the announcement of the bounty by Trimbert VII and the time I came aboard, nine Golden Swordsmen of the Business Alliance have died. However, these nine golden swordsmen were either the leaders of the mercenary group or the militia captains of the self-organized city of Morente, and when they went to the estates of the nobles of the Trimber Kingdom in the countryside to loot their belongings, they were not only killed themselves, but also the people they brought over, except for a few lucky ones who escaped back, and all but a few were killed.

In addition, there is also a first-level great swordsman of the armed brigade of the Liward Chamber of Commerce who is in charge of their chamber of commerce, and according to the announcement issued by the Kingdom of Trimber, it is said that it was done by two great swordsmen named the Principality of Delia, and they have received a bounty of 100,000 gold fords.

The Two-Headed Dragon Chamber of Commerce's Comberlet was furious, so he sent someone to the camp of the Four Nations Alliance to ask the commander of the Duchy of Deria, and the commander smiled bitterly and said that even he didn't know that the two great swordsmen of the Duchy had run here, and he really couldn't be blamed for this, but only the Trimber VII who was indiscriminately rewarded. Knowing that a first-class great swordsman who has been enshrined in the Duchy for a year has not earned more than five or six thousand gold merits, it is no wonder that they are tempted by the bounty offered by Trimber VII.

The day before I returned, the daily newspaper Morent published news that President Cumberlet had been assassinated, but luckily he was not injured, but instead killed the three great swordsmen who had come to assassinate him. Because Trimber VII gave the Big Seven a bounty of one million goldfords, President Cumberlet, because he was the commander of the army of the Business Alliance, his bounty was the highest, 1.5 million goldfords. The identities of the three assassins who were killed have been found out, and they are also great swordsmen who have traveled to several countries......"

"I'm worried about my dead old man...... uncle," El said.

Dorus smiled: "Don't worry, the old man is not confused, and he is smarter than anyone else." As soon as Trimber VII offered the reward, he knew it was not good, and he took Ledos and them back to the city of Morente. This time they raided two estates, got back a lot of wine, made a lot of ill-gotten gains, and now they are happily continuing to be the owners of the Red Crow Tavern. ”

"Then the Business Alliance did not take countermeasures against this move by Trimber VII?" asked Fat Shi.

"No way......" Dorres shook his head: "I thought about it for several days on the ship back, and I also felt that it was indeed very difficult to counteract. If the bounty is also issued, there are few high-end combat power in the Trimber Kingdom except for the third-level great swordsman and the second-level great swordsman, and they don't know who to reward if they want to put a bounty. As for Trimber VII, this guy with a lot of brains and the people of the Business Alliance felt that it would be too embarrassing to deal with him, and if he was also marked with a bounty of 1.5 million goldfords, he would have to be laughed off. And in the eyes of those in the business alliance, Trimber VII is crazy, worthless, and no one wants to pay for it......

As for those people who came to assassinate the high-end combat power of the Commercial Alliance, they all came from neighboring countries, and the Commercial Alliance can't also reward them without evidence, isn't that an increase in enemies for themselves? Even if there is evidence, it is useless, and others will push it all away when they say that this is the work of those great swordsmen themselves. Therefore, Trimber VII's move was crooked, making the business alliance extremely embarrassed, and there was no other way than to recruit high-end combat power to the front line and be strictly vigilant.

It is said that a neighboring Grand Duke who came to mediate accused Trimber VII of doing so, which exacerbated the conflict, and the business alliance had declared that the kingdom of Trimber would not be destroyed. Trimbert VII triumphantly claimed that as long as he spent 20 million goldfords, he could wipe out the high-end combat power of the commercial alliance. When the time comes, it will be the business alliance that will sue for peace, and how can we destroy the Kingdom of Trimber......"

"Oh my god! This is purely using money to smash people!" El sighed very regretfully, "It's a pity that I am not a great sword master, otherwise I would have to go to the Trimber Kingdom to earn money......"

Later military historians who wrote the history of the war on the continent of Gelinthia accused the Fort Merchant League and the Kingdom of Trimber of behaving like a village battle during the eight-month-long glass war, with no formal offensive and defensive battles, and very unfair field and general battles.

They ignored the assassinations, ambushes, lures and killings that were rarely in the high-end combat forces, until the fall of the Trimber Kingdom, the number of high-end combat forces that fell in this glass war reached seventy-six, far exceeding the losses of high-end combat power in normal large-scale battles more than ten times. Among them, there were fifty-two Golden Swordsmen, most of whom belonged to the Business Alliance, and the Great Swordsman died twenty-four, and the Business Alliance had the advantage, and they only lost seven.

In fact, in the Glass Wars, the battle of high-end forces has become the mainstream of warfare under the inadvertent measures taken by Trimber VII, and the opponents are the high-end forces of the commercial alliance and the kingdom of Trimber, as well as those surrounding neighbors. It was a contest that lasted for more than half a year, and in the end the business alliance emerged victorious.

Without these high-end combat powers, the Kingdom of Trimber and its seven neighboring countries were like a dam hollowed out by termites, pushed and collapsed under the flood of more than 100,000 troops of the Commercial Alliance, separated and collapsed, and went to extinction.

"It's normal for you and those who have taken refuge in your family to come back on the ship of the Peterson Chamber of Commerce, but why did the Peterson Chamber of Commerce send a vice president to bring some people over, and what are their plans?

After talking about the war between the Merchant Alliance and the Kingdom of Trimber, Lorist asked Dorus that he had ordered someone to arrange for the Peterson Chamber of Commerce and his party to rest in the guest room of Wanghai Manor, and then set up a banquet to entertain them in the evening.

"I don't know," Dorres recalled, "the main concern of President Peterson on the ship is what specialties the Northland has, what goods are needed. Since he didn't inquire about our family's armaments, I picked some Warcraft Tide and the Black Muddy Swamp's Iron Spine Bay crocodile to talk to him. I think he wants to monopolize the sea trade route with our family. ”

"Strange, didn't the Peterson Chamber of Commerce have the idea of using the northwest region of the Kingdom of Redelis as their territory for the Chamber of Commerce? They were secretly boycotting and blocking trade in goods to the Kingdom of Antinac, and now it seems that they have changed their minds. Forget it, don't think about it, talk to the vice president after the banquet in the evening and you'll know what's going on. Lorist shook his head, as if that would put all the questions out of his mind.
