685. The Hindukr Conundrum
At noon on October 30th, Honey Galloping met Vianis Oak again, and the two of them have been in close contact recently, compared to once every six months before.
In the forest, the elf who had just seen Honey asked with concern, "You won't have a tail behind you, will you?" Recently, the vicinity of Inumori Castle has been full of werewolf armies. ”
"Them?" Honey sneered when he heard this, "If they knew that I came to you to buy herbs, I'm afraid they would escort me over." ”
"Huh?" Vianis couldn't believe it, "How did I hear that the orcs and the Terrans of the Iowa Valley have just fought two battles?" It's not even to the point where you run out of ammunition! ”
"Indeed, but it's not the front line that's bad, it's the rear." The female knight shook her head, her face was ugly, "The preparation of the orc royal court has exceeded everyone's imagination, but I am afraid that by the end of the year, whether or not the Iowa Valley is taken, the Hindukr region will be considered finished." ”
Two months ago, after the local rat people received the order of the royal court, many chambers of commerce in the Hindukr received large trade orders, grain, potions, ores, demon pattern products, and the huge demand for materials on the eve of the war contributed to the illusory prosperity of goods.
"However, more and more royal troops occupied the main transportation routes of the Hindukir, and they exploited the merchants and forcibly bought large quantities of important goods at very low prices," said Jenny with a bitter face.
"Are they too greedy?" The elves were a little surprised by the merchants' pursuit of profit, "But if the contract cannot be delivered due to the war, the buyer and the seller can understand each other, right?" ”
"It's not just the contract problem, the Chamber of Commerce has exchanged all the funds on hand for materials for these contracts, and now the workshop has no money to buy raw materials, the merchant's materials can't get out of the warehouse, and the caravan's goods and gold coins are detained on the road," Honey said more and more powerlessly, "Blockade the merchants' warehouses, block the trade routes, and force the purchase and sale, the royal court is afraid that it has already thought about strangling the entire basin a few months ago." ”
Now the elves were silent, in her eyes, the local orc tribe was just an oppressor with whom she had a grudge, but it was the supplies she received from these local orcs that she depended on for her livelihood.
Honey, who had been silent for a long time, raised his head and confessed to the elf: "I came to you this time, I just want to ask you if there are any magic plants here, I want to buy them as much as possible, I brought two rings for food, when will I come again next time, I'm afraid it may not be." ”
"Uh...... Actually, I've brought you someone this time," the elf looked back at the bushes not far away, "You know this person......
"Cousin Honey, we haven't seen each other in a long time!" Jenny stepped out at the right time and looked at Honey with a smile, "I heard that the local orcs are in some trouble, and it just so happens that I recently established a chamber of commerce, and I have found a local transportation channel to help the local chamber of commerce and tribes survive this difficult time." ”
Honey looked at Jenny, and then at Vianis, unable to imagine how the two came together, but even more bizarre than their acquaintance was that Jenny Galloping Horse actually said that she had a complete transportation channel in the local area.
"You? Channel? In the Hindukr? ”
Honey's question was not so much questioning Jenny as it was making sure he had heard him wrong.
Jenny smiled and nodded: "Yes, my channel, and now that it has been activated, the first batch of potions ordered by Mentor Rousseff will probably arrive this afternoon!" ”
"Today?" Honey, who had just met Rousseff the day before yesterday, had incredible words written all over his face.
……
When Jenny and Vianis returned to Xing8 Castle, they saw all kinds of carriages parked in the courtyard, knights and flame priests coming in and out, all kinds of ordnance and weapons were neatly stacked, and the demonsless led more than a dozen pack beasts into one after another.
Looking at the busy scene in front of them, the two of them knew that there would definitely be a war, and when they walked into the basement of the deputy fort, that is, outside the door of the special command room for the army of Night Qi City, they heard the voice of the demonic tiger.
"Rand, I think my son should miss me very much now, I should go back to see him quickly, and give such a pitiful little pity to those orcs, I really don't feel at ease!"
Rand didn't respond to the Demon Tiger's words, but simply asked, "Isn't it good to eat here?" ”
"It's okay, but you also know, this big forest is damp and there are few demonic beasts, which is very unfavorable for me to break through, I think if I can break through as soon as possible, it will be good for the entire territory!"
The girls quietly entered the command room, and saw the huge demon-patterned tiger lying on the ground, constantly rubbing the rant with its big head, and all kinds of coquettish states couldn't tell that it was a fierce beast.
When Rand saw that the two girls were back, he was about to finish today's petting cat, and said to the tiger with a smile: "I have also stayed here for the past two days, and when I go back, will you go with me?" ”
When the tiger heard this, he quickly sat up, and his tall head barely rubbed against the roof, "Then it's decided, you are not allowed to go back!" ”
Having gained time to go home, the Demon Tiger left the command room in a hurry and ran to the dining room to cook, Jenny waited until she ran away before whispering to Rand: "My lord, you let the Demon Tiger go like this, who will protect Vianis after that?" ”
"Soon there will be a few hundred cavalry stationed in this camp," Rand said with a smile as he looked at Jenny, "Besides, the mid-level hammer willow Hoover will be here soon, and he will be the guardian tree of Vianis, and as for the mount, I will find her later." ”
When the girl heard that Rand had arranged so successfully, she knew that there must be a battle, and hurriedly asked, "You are not going to let us lead a few hundred cavalry to charge, are you?" ”
"Of course not, but it does have to be called the first gang of the Hindukr!" Rand said with a smile.
"Huh?" Vianis frowned when she heard this, "You also know how strong my people are, they can barely survive in the forest, and once they get out of the forest, they can't fight the orc army head-on!" ”
Rand said with a smile: "Don't worry, confront the orcs head-on, with my army, what you have to do is to help the scorched wolf fight the royal court." ”
According to the information gathered in the past few days, the orc royal court tried to coerce the local orcs to become vassals of the royal court completely with both military and economic aspects, and Lante's plan was to make Vianis's team cooperate with the local strength on the surface, but actually stir up and detonate the contradictions between the two sides.
As soon as she heard that she was going to help the local orcs, especially the scorched wolf clan, Vianis suddenly sank her face, "Rand, do I have to cooperate with those dogs?" ”
"It's not about cooperating with the scorched wolf, it's about fighting the royal court!" Rand smiled slyly, making the elf in front of him feel a little terrifying.
