Chapter 111: A Complicated Situation

The flotilla continued to sail in the direction of the Far East, leaving the entire flotilla of 16 ships, excluding the three that had left. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

According to statistics, nearly 4,000 people boarded ships in the port.

These included about 3,000 traders and civilians from Undercurrent, as well as about 1,000 soldiers of the Bolton family.

In the process of escaping Undercurrent Island, there will inevitably be casualties, especially among the soldiers of the Bolton family.

Originally with 1,500 men, they were attacked by the fishermen of Xinghuo Village and the guards led by Tongshan during the battle for the port.

About 100 people were lost.

In the process of encircling Terry and Sain, they led them to the hot springs, which was the first overflow of the volcanic eruption.

Dozens of soldiers were killed on the spot by the gushing magma.

And they were concentrated in large numbers at the Doge's Palace, which was farther from the port than in the center of Undercurrent.

Many soldiers fell into cracks in the ground or were crushed into flesh by collapsed buildings.

Even worse, they died under the merciless trampling of their companions.

In less than a day, they had lost 1/3 of their numbers, if it wasn't for Lin Ye to allow them to board the ship in the end.

The number is even greater.

The civilians, having been warned twice and prepared, arrived at the port before the volcano erupted completely.

The number of dead and wounded was about 200.

This is already a very optimistic number, plus the parting of the ways of the 3 ships this time.

The 16 ships that chose to follow the young governor to the Far East, there were also 3,200 people.

The majority of the local residents of Undercurrent Island are here, including the residents of the city, as well as the villagers of the nearby villages.

There are also many adventurous people who want to be able to start a new life in a new place.

The soldiers of the Burton family occupied 700 men.

Because the Bolton family exploited the people of the affiliated islands very badly, under the heavy taxes, the people were not able to make a living, and those who chose to serve as soldiers were young and strong people who could not open the pot and had no life and future to speak of.

This time, Heisenberg and his son died on Undercurrent Island, and the Bolton family will inevitably undergo a new round of power shuffle.

It's a very brutal process.

The soldiers who left were all taking care of their wives and children at home, and had to choose to go back for their sake.

And most of the rest of these people are still young boys with strong blood, and they have nothing to worry about.

Perhaps choosing to follow the young governor would be a fresh start in their destinies.

Whether it's the Bolton family or the Black Fire family.

They don't understand the big guys' Game of Thrones.

They just want to have enough to eat, to be able to marry and have children, and to be able to survive in a cruel world.

Will the flag fluttering on the bow of the ship really be their hope?

――――

Blackfire Castle has been under siege for a whole week.

After all, the paper could not contain the fire, and the news that the Duke was missing and his whereabouts were unknown, and it was very likely that he had died had reached the ears of the five tribes.

At first, they didn't care, isn't it just a young ghost, if they die, they will die, what can be the big deal?

But soon they realize that something is wrong.

The profits of beer are just too great!

It is now a scorching summer, and in just two months, Black Fire brand beer has swept the entire Far East with a devastating momentum!

It's not just the Blackwater River region, where they are located, in the three major regions of the Far East.

Even the other two regions are selling Black Fire brand beers.

Daily sales have reached a staggering 800 kilograms, and demand has exceeded supply!

The price of beer has also risen.

From 1 silver coin per cup at the beginning, it has risen to 3 coins.

This means that Blackfire Keep can earn more than 8,000 credits per day.

This is not a lot of tribes that do not have silver coins, and directly use grain, iron ore and other physical goods to mortgage in exchange.

In two months, Blackfire Castle earned a full 50,000 silver coins.

This almost wiped out the silver coins of the various orc tribes in the Blackwater River region!

In order to accommodate the steady stream of supplies sent by the orcs in exchange for beer, the Blackfire Castle had to build a warehouse.

In the end, it really can't be placed, so it is placed directly in the open air.

This is really a helpless and happy trouble.

When the patriarchs of the five major tribes saw the dividends sent by the Black Fire Castle, their eyes straightened, although they were divided into about 2% of the dividends, which was the appearance of 1,000 silver coins.

However, it is important to know that the income of their entire clan does not exceed 8,000 silver coins a year.

The patriarch of the Blood Wolf Tribe is not enough to break ten fingers on his iron back, and counting his toes, it is still not enough.

In the end, he called 20 Blood Wolf Clan soldiers over, and all of them spread their hands and feet.

It's just clear, their blood wolf tribe doesn't do anything every day, and they can live just by relying on the dividends of the Black Fire Castle!

It's shocking.

And this is still the figure obtained by the Black Fire Castle when it deliberately lowered the output.

After all, the disappearance of the young duke has deprived them of their backbone, and they must keep a low profile and not be too public.

But even so, there were still a large number of orc traffickers blocking the door of the brewery of Blackfire Castle.

As soon as fresh beer comes out, they throw down their heavy bags of money and run away with the kegs!

Because if you take half a step slower, you have to let others take the lead.

There were also a lot of brawls for this, and the Black Fire Castle had a headache for it.

Even though Blackfire Castle had gathered all its forces to maintain law and order, the enthusiasm of the orcs remained high.

For this reason, they did not hesitate to bribe the werewolves and kobolds who worked in the brewery to smuggle the wine out.

Of course, werewolves and kobolds are also acquaintances, after all, the Black Fire family brings them more than higher wages.

The status of their respective tribes has risen, and the gray wolf tribe and the black dog tribe, which were originally only at the lower intermediate level, have quickly become among the first-class tribes in the Heishui River region in just two months!

The tribes of the Blackwater River are proud to be the agents and distributors of the Blackfire Company.

The patriarchs of the five major tribes finally couldn't sit still.

Why only give them 10% of such a big piece of cake?

They were seeking more, and they demanded that Blackfire surrender the recipe for the beer.

Blackfire Castle refused to give in.

They coerce them by force.

Under the leadership of the three-pronged tail patriarch of the Scorpion tribe, the five major tribes each sent 200 soldiers.

A total of 1,000 orc soldiers marched in the direction of Blackfire Castle.

The two patriarchs, Lufu Gray and Demuhei, united the small and medium-sized tribes to try to persuade the five tribes to retreat.

But the five tribes have a tough attitude and warn the gray wolf and black dog tribes that if they don't know what to do, they will clean up together!

In the face of the attack of the alliance of the five tribes, Lu Fu Gray and De Mu Hei were powerless to stop it at all, and had to shrink the defensive line.

They joined forces with the Blackfire Army, dismantled the beer production line, and retreated to the castle to defend it.

The actions of the five major tribes also attracted the opposition of a large number of small and medium-sized tribes, and they were forced to besiege but not attack.

Mingming gave Blackfire Castle a week to think about it.

If the Blackfire Castle side voluntarily surrenders the recipe within a week, they can withdraw their troops.

But if the Black Fire Castle is stubborn.

Then they will start to attack the city!
