The golden trade route in the Oak Mountains, which had been very popular a few months ago, was now nowhere to be seen by any caravans, and a month ago the human army had completely blocked the main route. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The camping sites that had been explored by many caravans on the trade route were now used as outposts for the soldiers of the guard to ensure that the logistical lifeline of transporting troops and food would not be destroyed.

As for the bandit group that was originally in this mountain forest, or some mercenary groups that got some extra gains from small caravans from time to time, seeing this kind of scene, they all wanted to grow two more legs and leave the Oak Mountains as soon as possible......

Although the Kingdom's Ministry of Finance reported to Giggs that the interruption of the trade route would have a great impact on the Kingdom's fiscal revenue this year, it was forcefully countered by Giggs.

"Half a year! This trade route will be blocked for at least half a year to ensure that my army and supplies can arrive at Oak Mountain City safe and sound without a single wave. ”

"This is my order, and there is no room for a single failure to do so!"

Giggs's attitude was very clear, and the finance minister who received Giggs's personal meeting couldn't help but shrink his neck, but he heard Giggs's words change sharply.

"But these merchants must also be compensated so that they do not lose confidence in the kingdom's business environment...... Well, for the next three years, the tax revenue for the goods of the dwarven caravans coming to the kingdom was halved. ”

Giggs thought for a while and said, different positions, different angles of looking at things, but Giggs didn't need to explain to his courtiers, with his prestige in the kingdom is naturally the same.

"As for the appeasement of the merchants within the kingdom, a notice was issued that the main roads within the Whispering Forest would be exempt from tolls for three years, and that the catch on the south coast of the kingdom would make the merchants ...... tempted."

The finance minister, who probably guessed Giggs's intentions, had to admire Giggs's courage, but the fifty-third man couldn't help but have a toothache at the thought of the lack of revenue.

He could already anticipate how unkind the heads of various departments would be to him when the fiscal distribution was made next year......

It was only after the Minister of Finance had left that Giggs raised his hands, tilted his neck back, and rubbed his somewhat swollen temples to himself, and these subordinates did not know the point of his blockade of trade routes, which gave him a headache.

And Giggs can't say it yet, and once the secret is told, it's not a secret......

Constantly receiving information from Gibson, Giggs can even unceremoniously say that he knows everything about Fort Clarion, after all, he has more than one intelligence agency under his command

At present, Diana and Fort Clarion are in a phase of confrontation, and the Fort Clarion interest group led by Ron is desperately trying to improve the strength of the Fort Clarion Guard, and the new recruits and veterans have been subjected to more rigorous drills.

Diana, on the other hand, is continuing to reorganize the army while rectifying the internal problems existing in the subordinate territories, at least to be able to give full play to the war potential in the territory, rather than being held back by these newly received places.

In Giggs's view, as long as there is no third-party force involved in the war between the two sides, then a situation of strategic confrontation will be formed.

Fort Clarion did not have enough field troops to make more progress in the face of Gibson, who refused to fight head-on, and similarly, Diana's side could not pose even the slightest real threat to the megacity of Fort Clarion.

The blockade of the gold trade route is Giggs's attempt to break this balance, of course, to help Diana's side break the balance, that is......

Hidden in the blockade of the gold trade route is a secret that can pose a threat to Fort Horn!

At the same time, in order to avoid some unexpected situations, such as the giant city forces on the dwarven side interfering in the current situation of Fort Clarion, Giggs directly ordered the military commander to mobilize all forces in Fort Clarion and the surrounding area.

It's just that no matter what the final result is, it is an inevitable fact that the intelligence forces deployed by the military commanders in the dwarven territory over the years will collapse......

......

While the situation in the southwest of the continent was turbulent, in the Centaur Great Plains, the Bloodhoof Tribe, whose main forces were in the northern part of the plain, was directly caught in a bloody storm.

The centaur who is also a hegemonic race, although it is the latest to rise among the several hegemonic races, and the history of civilization has only passed a thousand years, but it can strongly overwhelm other races in the middle of the continent, a land of four wars, and there is no doubt that it is strong in terms of military strength.

Although the Bloodhoof Tribe cannot be regarded as the full strength of the centaurs, they are also fighting with the powerful clans of the two orcs, and the Golden Lion Clan is still paddling in the war......

The consequence of this is that in the past year, in the southern direction of the Golden Lion Clan's territory, the wars of all sizes have not stopped at all, and the Frost Wolf Clan can be said to have suffered heavy losses.

Although he had taken a piece of land that could be used as a shelter, Inzaghi's increasingly red eyes were enough to show that the current situation made him extremely angry.

The frost wolf clan to which he belonged had already suffered a small number of casualties in this war, and the tribes attached to him, the small clans had suffered more than half of the casualties, and some clans were simply removed from the list.

For example, the cat-man clan that was conquered by the frostwolf clan and served as slaves had a total population of just over a thousand after this period of fighting, which was not much different from genocide......

To the annoyance of Inzaghi, he had already established his strength to occupy the land through battle after battle, but the centaurs on the opposite side still came to fight regardless of losses, which made him extremely irritated.

Not wanting to lose any more, Inzaghi decided to go to Wuthering Hollow himself, hoping to use the forces of the Golden Lion of Gagi as a deterrent to end this pointless war with the centaurs.

And because of his anger, he was robbed of a piece of land by the orcs in his own hands, and Lucar, who was a laughing stock among the centaurs because the angry bloodhoof tribe had been robbed of two pieces of land by the orcs in a hundred years, had a similar mentality to the Inzaghi frostwolf at this time.

Lucar, whose anger gradually subsided, also had to think about more things, and then let the strength of the Bloodhoof tribe continue to lose, so would the tribes below that were originally subjugated have a different mind?

These are all things that a leader should take into account, and Lucar also decided to start trying to contact the orcs to put an end to this year-long war.

It's just that there are always unexpected times when things go unexpected, and a piece of news that has gone viral in orc territory has made the two parties' attempts at peace come to naught......
