Under Hai'er Bailey's reminder, Yang Ling noticed that whether it was a craftsman, a maid, or a samurai, there was a deep fork-shaped brand on his forehead. According to the agreement of the continent of Tyranny, this cross mark is the symbol of the slave. Slaves came from a wide range of sources, among which prisoners of war were the most important source. Whenever there was a large-scale war, it meant that there would be a large number of slaves in the market, and the slaves and warriors that Haier Baili gave to Yang Ling were basically prisoners of war or civilians of defeated countries. The fate of slaves was tragic, and they were often bought and sold as goods without any dignity or rights. In the wild, slaves without a sign of belonging can even be slaughtered at will, so no slave dares to run away. There was only one way to get out of slavery, and that was to gain the appreciation and reuse of the master, erase the slave's mark, and write off the slave's record. Often, craftsmen, beautiful maidens, and warriors are the ones who have the most hope of escaping slavery, and it is possible to become human again as long as they gain the appreciation of their masters. Otherwise, a tragic fate awaits them, and their children and grandchildren will be enslaved for generations. Under the guidance of the old butler Mulberch, the servants soon arranged the numerous gifts and slaves, and the council chamber quickly returned to quiet. "Yang Ling, I heard that the recent situation in Weisen Town is a bit bad, I don't know what the details are?" After taking a sip of jasmine tea, Haier Bailey asked Yang Ling, who was sitting opposite. "It's not a little bad, it's not good!" Yang Ling shook his head, "Since the Bantu Empire sent Stouff, the so-called lord, over, it has made Weisen Town a bloody storm!" Drinking a few sips of the jasmine tea brought by Alice, Yang Ling said succinctly about the game between the Bantu and the Rus, but he simply brushed aside his own practice of pushing the waves behind the scenes. Although Hayer Bailey is a member of the Principality of Livenza Alliance and has a good relationship with herself, after all, it is better to be careful if you know people and faces. As the person in charge of the Brad Chamber of Commerce, Haier Baili Bingxue was smart, and seeing that Yang Ling was vague, she understood his worries without thinking too much, and did not care at all. After a moment of silence, he spoke out some of the information and insights he had gathered. It turned out that the successive wars and the devastating floods in the south had caused the Bantu Empire to run a serious financial deficit and an empty treasury. In desperation, several ministers took a fancy to the resource-rich Truss Forest, hoping to open up a new territory. As the largest primeval forest in the Tylen continent, the Truss Forest stretches for thousands of miles, is remote and remote, and is considered by the world to be a public place. In order to avoid sabotage by hostile forces, the Bantu people kept a low profile, hoping to create established facts before publicly claiming to include the area within a radius of several thousand miles from the town of Wieson into the empire's Bantu. But unexpectedly, in the end, the news leaked and attracted the destruction of the old enemy Rus. Seeing Hail Bailey's repeated emphasis on the Bantu Empire's low-key behavior, Yang Ling's heart moved, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Miss Haier Bailey, do you mean that before the situation in Weisen Town is truly controlled, the Bantu Empire will not send a large army to occupy Weisen Town in a big way?" "In principle, this is the case, the Trus Forest is considered by the world to be a public place, although the Bantu Empire is interested in the resources here, but it is not willing to cause more trouble because of this!" After speaking, Haile Bailey gently took a sip of light jasmine tea. In fact, in addition to thanking Yang Ling for his kindness, she also shouldered a secret mission. The alliance of the Principality of Livingsa, sandwiched between the Bantu Empire and the Rus Empire, is neutral, and does not want the Bantu Empire to obtain the rich resources of the Trus Forest and then break the balance that has always been with the Rus Empire. All successful chambers of commerce are inextricably linked to the local government, and the Brad Chamber of Commerce is no exception. Therefore, when the contact person of the Principality Alliance came to the door, Helbel did not refuse their request. For the public, the strategy of sabotaging the Bantu people is beneficial to the people of the entire alliance. Privately, if you can take the opportunity to monopolize the resources of the Truss Forest, then the strength of the Brad Chamber of Commerce will grow rapidly. After understanding the abacus of the Bantu Empire, Yang Ling rubbed his temples and thought about how he could get the most out of this game. With his current strength, a head-to-head encounter with the powerful Bantu Empire is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, and there is no chance of winning. But if the other party has many scruples and shrinks back, then he has a chance, a chance to catch a big fish in troubled waters. After inexplicably coming to this strange world, he quickly settled down with the encounter. I don't want to make any contributions, I just hope that I can enjoy a new life comfortably, and one day I can find a way back to earth. Originally, he only wanted to open a few shops in Wiesen Town, and then form his own caravan when the time came. Enjoy the life of a rich man, and let the people who follow him live a worry-free life. But after the so-called lord of Storf fell from the sky, he felt a great threat. Without great strength, without great power, let alone forming your own caravan, it is a question of whether you can even survive until tomorrow, let alone enjoy a comfortable life. Originally, Yang Ling just hoped to take advantage of the sneak attack of the Rus' people to mess up the situation in Weisen Town, so that Storf would have no time to deal with himself. Now that it was clear that the abacus of the Bantu Empire and the delicate balance between several great powers, there was a clear idea for the first time. The town of Wieson is your home base, a bridgehead for your own exploration of the world, and no one else can touch it. Seeing Yang Ling's uncertain face, Haier Baili understood that he was making a difficult decision, and quietly said nothing except for a few sips of jasmine tea. Although Yang Ling didn't say it, through many eyeliners, she had already figured out the situation in Weisen Town. Without a certain certainty, she would not agree to the demands of the Principality Alliance, let alone come to Wiesen in person. "Miss Haier Bailey, I wonder how many guards you brought over this time?" After making up his mind, Yang Ling was ready to not move, and if he moved, he would gather all the resources and go all out. "I'm sorry, but in order not to leave anyone with a handle, I only brought a few dozen guards over. Seeing the cold light flashing in Yang Ling's eyes, Hai'er Bailey instantly understood his plan, and continued: "In addition, I also got a very bad news, although the Bantu Empire will not send a large army in a big way, it has gathered 10,000 black armor troops in the name of the warriors of the Weiss family, and it will soon arrive in Weisen Town!" In order to avoid leaving a handle for those with a heart to attack the Principality Alliance, and in order to avoid damage to the interests of the caravan, Haier Bailey only brought dozens of guards over, and put all the hope of completing the task on Yang Ling. After a thorough investigation, she believed that Yang Ling was brave and resourceful, and had enough ability to defeat Stouff's three thousand black-armored guards before reinforcements from the Bantu Empire arrived, and all she lacked was the determination to break the cauldron and some sophisticated weapons. Of course, Hayerbelle also has a reserve army, which is the wolf mercenary group that escorts her here. The reason why the Principality of Livenza Alliance has not fallen for thousands of years is that in addition to the powerful power of the Chamber of Commerce, another reliance is on the powerful mercenary group. In the entire Tylen Continent, five of the top ten mercenary groups with the most prominent reputation are in the Principality Alliance, and the wolf pack mercenary group is one of the best. When necessary, for the sake of the common good, even if Hayer Bailey doesn't say it, the wolf pack mercenary group will lend a hand. If the Bantu Empire grows in strength and upsets the balance with the Rus, I am afraid that the first thing to suffer is the alliance of principalities with relatively weak national strength. The country is ruined, and no one wants to be a lowly slave to the country. 10,000 Black Armor Army? Yang Ling shook his head and smiled bitterly, he didn't expect Hai'er Bailey to only bring a few dozen guards, let alone Storff to invite reinforcements so quickly. If he waited for the other party's reinforcements to arrive and defeated the Rus' forces, it was estimated that Stoffe would be able to deal with himself with all his strength without worry. The situation seemed to be getting worse and worse! After the accident, Yang Ling once again felt the disadvantage of insufficient intelligence. If it weren't for Hayl Bailey, I am afraid that he would not be able to get the news until Stouff's reinforcements arrived in Wissen, and then the consequences would be unimaginable. If he had gotten the news before, he would have been able to calmly plan how to deal with the embattled Storf. After gritting his teeth, Yang Ling decided to break the kettle. With Storf's surname, he would never allow such a force in his territory, and if he could not control the situation before his reinforcements arrived, then the fate of flight awaited him. With more than 200 fierce barbarians, more than 100 elven archers, nearly 300 high-level swordsmen, plus 300 slave warriors sent by Hail Bailey, he already has nearly 1,000 guards in his hands, and his strength is close to that of the so-called lord's Stouff. Yang Ling believed that as long as he chose a suitable time, sent many guards to attack with the Rus, and coupled with his powerful army of demonic beasts, he would definitely be able to defeat Stouff's black-armored army in one fell swoop. If the strategy is right, it may be possible to wipe out the previously invincible Stouff army.
