Conspiracy three

A steady stream of food was transported from Abel, and the small and medium-sized nobles of the Southern County, to Depero. According to the agreement with Depero Collar Thorn Flower Firm, it will not buy the grain of the great nobles for the time being.

With the arrival of the grain came a group of freemen, who came from some of the great nobles, and the various taxes of the noble lords made them lose their land, and they did not want to serve the greedy nobles.

The low taxes in Depero's territory have spread throughout the southern counties, and many people have come to visit him. There are large tracts of land here, and all that is missing is population. What they saw was a brand new city, with smooth roads and large fields. The civilians here don't have that kind of bitter appearance, they are more cheerful and enthusiastic.

Depero's plebeians preached low taxes for their lords, and the low fees of the Church of Life. The lord let them live a carefree life, as long as they work hard, there will always be gold coins. The lord also buys their surplus food, so he doesn't have to worry about not being able to sell it.

The new civilians were also excited, and perhaps one or two people said they wouldn't believe it, but that's how everyone who could ask. They went to the town hall level so that they could be cultivated early, and the town hall also provided farm tools for free, which was a benefit for new civilians.

Outside the large granary, there are a thousand heavily armored dwarven warriors, nominally guarding the granary, secretly guarding Depero's territory, which is now the dwarven food base, and the liquor they drink, the bread they eat, and the wheat cakes come from here. The cloth you wear, the tea you drink, etc., are all transported to the Iron Furnace City through here. The people here are friendlier than other places, the things are cheaper and the quality is better.

According to the orders of the Dwarven Kingdom, as long as it is not the Violet Empire army, the 20,000 dwarf army will reinforce the general lord war at any time, and the battle is limited to the war against the invasion of Depero's territory.

The goodwill of Depero's territory, or Ivan in other words, brought a powerful ally to the realm. Needless to say, 20,000 dwarven troops, just 1,000 dwarven heavy armor warriors, can discourage the big nobles.

Everything on the surface can be found, and what is in the secret is the hole cards. The Thorn Flower Merchant shipped so much grain here had long been concerned by the great nobles, and they had not sold a single grain of their grain, and they had also sent people to inquire in many ways.

The west of the city has been designated as a no-go zone for outsiders. They got the news that Depero had built several grain depots, and that there was a huge grain depot to the west. I don't know how big it is, but all the grain transported by the Thorn Flower Merchant Company went into the huge grain depot.

Several big nobles in Southern County were startled by the calculation of the record data they searched around. There are no less than 200,000 tons of grain in more than a month, and Depero is also a big grain producer! And the Thorn Flower Merchant is still buying, what do you want so much grain for, and put it moldy? Don't you need that much to make wine? The grain in my own warehouse is about to become moldy!

In the entire southern county, except for some mineral resources south of the Rhine, the rest of the nobility mainly accumulated wealth by selling grain. What wood, herbs are a small amount of money. Every year, the Black Rose Merchant House buys a large amount of grain from them and sells it to the dwarves. But this year, the business was not negotiated, the food of the Black Rose could not be sold, weapons, metal, and armor were also smashed, and the dwarven kingdom increased patrols on the border, established a camp, and strictly prohibited the entry of the Black Rose Merchant House, and the dwarves suspected that the missing people were related to the Black Rose.

A castle in the southern county, a secret study here.

"What the hell are you going to do? The grain can't be sold, the black roses don't want it, and the thorn flowers don't buy us, but they buy the grain of the small and medium-sized nobles! ”

"Although we are shareholders of Black Rose, we have no decision-making power, and we don't know what's going on inside."

"These damn people, they must have poached the dwarves, otherwise the dwarves wouldn't have turned their faces, they have always relied on the food of the Black Rose."

Several nobles on the side table had a heated discussion, and the old nobleman sitting on the main seat looked at them without saying a word, listening to their countermeasures.

"The Thorn Flower Firm and Depero must have partnered, the Thorn Flower has always monopolized the magic ore led by Depero, and the other small chambers of commerce are just sharing some leftovers."

"We now have to find out how big the grain depot is, what does Depero want so much grain for?"

"Don't you know that a few years ago, in order to store water for irrigation, the Abel River, a tributary of the Rhine, was introduced into the Depero territory, just west of the city of Depero, between the castle. It is more than 20 meters wide, and the channel is made of stones on both sides of the channel, and it goes south to the vicinity of the mountain. It is not possible for ordinary people to go beyond the past to investigate. ”

A grumpy nobleman stood up and slapped the table.

"Then block the Abel River and prevent Depero from having water for irrigation!"

"Sit down, you madman, this is the Territory Boundary River, blocking it is equivalent to starting a lord war, without Depero doing it, dozens of nobles and nobles in the lower reaches of the Abel River can tear you apart!"

"Block, can't block, then you can't find high-level warriors, great warriors, and mages to burn Depero's grain!"

The old nobleman of the main seat slapped the table, and the study was suddenly quiet.

"It's a good idea to burn his grain. If he has no food, he will buy it from us, and we can sell it at a high price. ”

The words of the old nobleman made the following a little confused, and they all exchanged heads and laughed!

"A small fire, and the gold coins are countless!"

"It's a bit far from the castle, don't worry about the magic eye!"

"Directly across the Abel River, through the mountains north of Depero, just a bit far. In this way, the gods do not know it, and the ghosts light the fire without realizing it. ”

A group of big nobles conspired successfully, the wine glasses clanged, and the wine bottles were empty for a while, and in the smiling eyes, as if they had seen the grain depot led by Depero, they had set it on fire, laughing unscrupulously, laughing wildly!

In the cocktail party, the nobles did not hesitate to show their strongest force, and the lowest were high-level warriors and intermediate mages. Intermediate warriors, low-level mages, and great nobles were all embarrassed to speak.

One is ready to go straight to Depero to lead a surprise attack and set fire, and the Demon Martial Arts Team has been formed! It only takes three or four days to concentrate on the crowd and you can go.

These great nobles still don't know what they will encounter when they send out to set fire to the united team.

They'll celebrate early in County South, the closest to Depero's territory. In the midst of laughter, the great nobles sent people to summon the force in their hands, and they couldn't wait to advance the plan. For the sake of gold coins, they can't stand even an hour, no, not a minute.

Groups of fast horses left the castle and headed for their destinations.

The big nobles inside were still laughing and laughing, and even the ordinary maids around them, they looked much more pleasing to the eye, rubbing oil with their hands, and generously paying gold coins to reward the maids.

This scene is really confirmed, if God wants to destroy it, it must first make it crazy!
