697. Well-informed Mr. Giant Tree
In the central tent of the orc camp, the human possessed by the legendary fox clan Surus, although his eyes were closed, he had a smug expression and said with a smile:
"The Beaver recently spent 5,000 gold coins to buy 75 Demonic Containers from the Terrans,"
The human known as Sulus did not open his eyes, but said leisurely, "These containers can float in the water, and can even dive to a suitable depth and transport directly under the surface, do you know whose product it is?" ”
"Forehead ......"
"Night Qicheng's!" Surus smiled and said, "That's right, as you guessed, the lord of Night Qicheng sent an army, intercepted the Terran slaves, and colluded with the local chamber of commerce, so that the royal court's plan basically failed." ”
"They? Did the Terrans cooperate with the native orcs? Olmert asked incredulously.
The man nodded: "Yes, now the various chambers of commerce have not only obtained their seized materials, but also obtained loans from the local Dureziz family. ”
"How do you know?"
"Hmph, our fox clan has assisted so many generations of beast kings, we can't have no wrists at all, right?" This close-eyed Terran is actually possessed by a fox legend named Sulus Fawkes.
The fox clan has been slowly infiltrating the Hindukr since they heard about the emergence of a barbarian force called the galloping horse on the plain last year, and they have set up a small trading house in each of the local cities to test the speed of goods circulation and the shortage of goods through mutual trading between the trading houses.
Last month, he asked the local trading houses to order small quantities of specialty products from other cities, and this kind of high-priced but small quantity of goods would usually be transported with the caravan's volume, and after the royal army actually blocked the roads in the basin, he could judge which blockade had been broken according to the delivery of goods.
However, this morning, he received news that most of the trading houses were informed that they could take the goods they ordered, which means that all the trading routes were opened overnight, and they had been laying out for nearly a year, and the local lockdown plan had died in name only.
The legend of the fox clan, Surus, told Olmert Tooth the original information he had received, and then commented, "It is impossible for a Rand galloping horse guarding Night Qicheng to have enough resources, gold coins, and royal court to wrestle his wrist in a few months. ”
"Could it be that the Terran Empire has made a move?"
"Terran Empire? That group of aristocratic lords were willing to make the effort to understand the difficulties and demands of the orc merchants thousands of miles away? ”
Sulus said helplessly, "It seems that what the royal court fears the most has happened, the Hindukr Galloping Horse, the Night Qicheng and that Fiat have been united,
Night Qi City out of magic equipment, the local galloping horse family, Fiat out of money, their real purpose is to compete with the royal court for control of the Hindukre! ”
"This ......"
Olmert was completely stunned, he wanted to say that this was impossible, but the reality in front of him was that the Galloping Horse family was already about to succeed, and the royal court was now disgusted with dogs in the basin, and the Galloping Horse family could not only make the big animals call Daddy here, but also let their family maintain business and maintain production.
"Your Excellency, what shall we do now?"
"Since the local ones are unreliable, they can only return their lives in the way of others." Sulus's voice sounded unwavering, but it made Olmert listen to it in horror.
"You mean, instigating their borders as well?"
"No, Night Qicheng is the border, and what I want to instigate is his royal court!"
……
On the morning of Sunday, September 33rd, at the Temple of Fortune in Night Qicheng, Rand entered the secret room with some excitement, wondering what kind of repercussions his team's recent victories against orcs would have in the empire.
What Rand didn't expect was that Mr. Giant Tree came early today, and as soon as he entered the meeting, he asked him to communicate alone.
"Mr. White Wolf, I heard that the Marquis of Rand has won several victories in the war against the orcs, and His Majesty has also issued an oracle to reward him." As soon as the giant tree came up, he praised Rand, but his tone was very serious.
"I know that you can contact the Marquis of Rant directly, so I am waiting here today, just to hope that you can remind him that the imperial capital's attitude towards the front line is like smoke and unpredictable, and continuous victories can certainly win more support, but they will also accumulate greater expectations and pressure, and the slightest carelessness will lead to the situation getting out of control."
"What do you mean once ...... The Marquis of Rand has won too many victories, and the high-ranking officials of the imperial capital will want him to further attack the Hindukr? Rand thought for a moment and asked tentatively.
"Mr. White Wolf, to be precise, I came today to discuss a cooperation with you," the giant tree did not answer directly, but said with a smile, "I have some unique channels in the imperial capital, which can provide some information that is not easy for the Marquis of Rand to know, and the Marquis of Rand can directly command the battlefield, allowing Yavini Jinyue and Andrew Jinyue to obtain unprecedented military achievements." ”
"As far as I know, His Majesty the Emperor has issued an order prohibiting the high-ranking officials of the imperial capital from coming to the front line to brush up on their merits." Rand said.
The purpose of the giant tree has been very clear, Rand gave an opening to let his people brush up on merits, he helped Rand deliver news in the imperial capital, and even said that the two could further cooperate in the future, send appropriate information to the imperial capital, and control the public opinion on the battlefield over there.
This kind of cooperation sounds like Rand is at a loss, but the flip side of Mr. Giant Tree's deal is that if Rand flatly refuses him, his faction may also stir up public opinion and get the battlefield out of Rand's control, so Rand speaks out the emperor's order to increase his own weight.
"Of course, all the nobles of the imperial capital must abide by His Majesty's orders, but His Majesty's orders have not terminated the existing cooperation between the Imperial Capital and Yeqi City.
I can find a loophole and send some high-ranking people from the Imperial Capital in the hope that the Marquis of Rand will allow them to make a mark on the battlefield, and in exchange, I will guarantee that a considerable part of the nobles in the Imperial Capital will stand firmly on his side, whether he decides to continue the war against the orcs or prepare for a truce. ”
"Your proposal can only be decided by the Marquis of Rand himself, but I'm afraid he needs more information before he can make a judgment." Rand said.
Judging from the wording of the giant tree, he probably guessed that the giant tree should be the people of the Imperial Capital School, that is, Cromwell Gyeonggi, the Pure Tower and the Imperial Capital Magic Academy, which controlled the major central institutions of the royal family and the empire respectively, and they disdained to use full expressions such as "a considerable number of nobles" to describe themselves.
The Imperial Capital School and Yeqi City are both local nobles, and since they seek to take the initiative to cooperate, they must first show sincerity and prove that they are enough to obtain information that sways public opinion.
"Of course, I think there is some information that you and the Marquis of Rand will be interested in, such as the Demon Pattern Container of Night Qi City has been circulating throughout the Hindukr Basin, and moreover, not only the Orc Royal Court, but even the Imperial Capital Finance Department has heard that the seafood from Breyak in the basin can reach any city of the Terran within 3 days."
