Chapter 366: Sambia's Reaction
When the sky is bright.
The inventory was completed.
Fifty-three chests of gold coins alone were counted, each with 10,000 nubao, plus fragments of silver coins and copper plates, a full 600,000.
In terms of the number of gold coins, even some ancient dragons are ashamed of it.
It can be seen how many caravans the young red dragon has plagued in the past few decades, with the assistance of Sambian merchants.
At the same time, it can also reflect the busy trade of the East Road, and the caravans that were plagued by it were only a small part of them, and those who belonged to Sambia, or paid sufficient protection fees, were let go.
The only ones who are plagued are those who are in opposition to the Sambian merchants.
If enough memories can be extracted from the corpse of the red dragon, I am afraid that it will not be as simple as disgusting and disgusting Sambian merchants.
Because there are some chambers of commerce that may not have been destroyed by Sambia, especially the chamber of commerce from Cormier.
β¦β¦
It wasn't just the Vizeme estate that stayed up all night.
O'Dulin, the capital of Sambia, also has a large number of people who stay up all night.
Oddurin is located in the heart of Sambia.
Aside from the elves and valley people, few people remember that this land once belonged to Moon Valley, one of the valleys.
The Sambian merchants used their vast wealth to carefully design the city, erasing all traces and memories of the Moon Valley.
Viewed from the air, the city resembles a gigantic pattern that radiates through, with the central core consisting of three massive buildings and the grand avenue radiating out from the core like the sun's rays.
The central building is the auditorium of the Senate of Sambia, the mouthpiece of the merchant class and the de facto ruler of the country, and where many decisions about Sambia have been made.
On the left and on the right are the Tower of the Guards and the Gate of Guardians.
Don't be misled by the name.
The Tower of the Guards is not a place where soldiers are stationed, but a Sambian mint, where all the currency of Sambia is minted, and other cities do not have this right, and private mints are all regarded as illegal and collected as public ownership.
There is a strong army stationed here all year round, and it is so well defended that even a fly that wants to fly in must be allowed by them, and they are only loyal to the merchant council, and even the Grand Commander is not qualified to transfer them.
The Gates of Guardianship is the treasury of Sambia, which hoards the annual pro-rata payment of commercial taxes by various cities and caravans for the construction of various public facilities, and it is said that the wealth inside is astronomical, even the ancient dragons have to covet.
But so far, no dragon has dared to come and raid.
The Tower of the Guards and the Gates of the Guards are lit up every night, which is normal.
The former mints money day and night, while the latter is patrolled by treasury guards in turn.
If the auditorium is still lit at night, it is not normal.
Silently telling the citizens of Aldurin that something big had happened, something close to Sambia, and that the leaders of the merchant council were discussing countermeasures.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible, our strategy is foolproof, how can it be that in just one afternoon, the whole army will be wiped out? In particular, we sent a young red dragon, and the half-elf was less than a thousand people, mainly relying on the group of tree people and Pikjin, is there a mistake in the news. β
"What if there's an error in one wave of news, the second wave, the third wave? This is the fourth time that it has been verified, and there will definitely be no mistake, not only the mercenaries have been wiped out, but the red dragon has also died! β
"The red dragon is also dead? Is this even more unlikely? Does he have a powerful presence in his hands that can fight against the Red Dragon? β
"According to the news that came back, it was the hand of the young lord named Gavin!"
"This is even more nonsense, I have seen that lord with my own eyes, he is not yet twenty, and his professional level has not yet reached the transcendental, where does he get the power to slay dragons?"
"I remember that in the new opera of the Vampire of Wisdom, it was said that he once killed two Drow vampires with one force, which shows that his strength is indeed extraordinary, and there may be hole cards that we don't know."
"This kind of thing is originally used to praise people, and you believe this kind of thing, which is too naΓ―ve."
"Opera deceives, and the trial of the Hammer of Justice, Darnell and Ogst don't deceive together, do they? They also used to openly admit the authenticity of opera. β
"Latest news, latest news, latest news, Sraksata's dragon's lair has been found, right in the Bloody Horn."
"This cunning guy, I didn't expect to play with the lights in the dark, over the years, he has been creating a dragon's nest in other places, and the blood horn is just the impression he uses to contact us, and the feelings are all illusions."
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and send a mage task force to bring back the treasures in the dragon's lair to make up for the loss of this failure, after so many years, this red dragon should also be fattened by us. β
"It's late, the dragon's nest has been emptied, and there is nothing left."
"Impossible, this is impossible, from the official start to the present is only half of the night, excluding the time to find the red dragon's lair, how long will they have to carry a dragon's nest? Even if it is two or three hundred thousand nubao, it is not a simple matter to carry it out, will there be a mistake in the news? Found a fake dragon's nest? β
"You can't be wrong, because the news came from a dragonborn servant of Slarksatta, who not only served him for many years, but also brought a memory image of the dragon's lair, which contained a mountain of treasures, at least 500,000 nubao in gold, and he saw with his own eyes the two of them, led by a red dragon transformed into a ghost, into the dragon's lair."
"Then how did he emptie a dragon's nest in such a short period of time? Do you have a mage task force like us, equipped with a large number of teleportation staffs? No, you just said that you will ride two people and two horses! β
"That's not right, that's not right, what's right?"
"Do you have the ability, can you give a reasonable explanation?"
"If I have a reasonable explanation, I'm still grinding my teeth here?"
The entire Sambian merchant council has become a pot of gruel.
The news that came one after another is not a matter of inconsistency, and it is not clear how the other party did it?
Originally, they thought that they had seen the new little lord clearly and the strength of the Land of Three Rivers.
It's just a piece of fat for them this summer.
Where did I think that this piece of fat would bite.
Not only biting, but also painful.
"The Grand Commander has arrived, the Grand Commander has arrived, the Great Commander has arrived!"
With a burst of shouting, a group of Sambian knights, armed to the teeth, walked in first, lined up in two groups, and waited for them to stand up.
A tall and thin old man walked in slowly.
He exuded an air of twilight, his eyes cloudy, his slow pace, and although he wore the most luxurious and fashionable clothes, and touched the most expensive foundation on his face, he still could not completely cover the age spots on his bare body.
This man's name was Odus Yamaste, and he was the Grand Commander of the Merchant Council of Sambia.
The merchant council was elected, and the final ruler was the Grand Commander, who served a seven-year term.
However, since there is no re-election limit, once you become the commander, you will generally die unless there are special circumstances.
This was clearly the case with Odus, who many Sambian merchants secretly called him immortal.
Especially those merchants who are worried about the position of the Great Commander, they are even more eager for him to die sooner.
But he has been like a candle in the wind for more than ten years, but he still remains the same, as if he is about to be extinguished, but he is not extinguished.
Legend has it that his old age is not simply aging, but a terrifying aging magic that even a legendary priest cannot do.
The greater the power of this person, the more afraid he is of death.
The guards around him have changed from two to four, four to eight, and now directly into a small team.
It is said that the transcendent warriors who defend him are not a small team, but two small teams, black and white shifts, and there is always a small team, which follows him day and night, including when he sleeps.
Many people secretly criticize and are stared at by a group of people, can they sleep?
Whether willingly or unwillingly.
The moment Odus stepped into the Great Hall, all the members of the Merchant's Council stood up and greeted him.
They respected Odus not so much for the title of Grand Commander as for the merchant parliamentary system of Sambia.
Only by respecting this system, and being the winner of the benefits of this system, can we continue to maintain our current interests and maintain our current high position.
Whoever tries to shake up this system is their worst enemy, both external and internal.
"Sit down!" Odus's voice was as old as his appearance, muddy and sluggish.
Under the arch of many guards, he slowly walked to the rostrum of the auditorium, and spoke again: "I believe that everyone, I already know the reason why I summoned you overnight, but before that, I want you to watch a few small videos. β
The Sambia commander waved his hand, and a guard walked to the front of the stage with a crystal ball in his hand.
Some sensible Sambian parliamentarians recognized the origin of the crystal ball at a glance, which was a memory projection crystal ball.
It belongs to a set of magical instruments.
This is the mother of the magic device, and he plays an image of the location of the gem in his hand.
This magical instrument is precious and rare.
Even the wealthy Sambian Merchant Council does not have a few sets.
It will only be used in some key wars.
Could it be that the Grand Commander secretly used this set of magic tools?
The other party has already answered him with practical actions.
A huge image was directly cast into the sky above the Great Hall.
A hologram appears in front of everyone.
Rows of mercenaries gathered in an orderly manner were waiting for the tall tree men to attack.
Even the well-informed members of the merchant council couldn't help but gasp.
Dozens of Tree Men and Enlightenment Trees, numbers that sound inconspicuous, can only feel the terrifying pressure in the face of their heavy steps and charge.
Within seconds, they heard the red dragon's characteristic roar from far and near.
But in the next second, everything changed drastically.
The terrifying thunder and lightning flashed directly in everyone's ears, making everyone feel as if they were on the shore of the Yevon pond and in the middle of the battlefield.
"Storm of Vengeance! It's a nine-ring spell! β
"There's a quasi-legendary druid or quasi-legendary priest here!"
"Who intervened? Which strong man intervened? β
"It's no wonder, it's no wonder, that group of mercenaries is just cannon fodder to attract the enemy's attack, and they can't withstand the bombardment of the Nine Rings spell at all, no wonder they collapse so quickly."
Among the members of the merchant council, there were many knowledgeable people who recognized the origin of this spell at a glance.
One by one, I couldn't help but talk to the people around me, whispering.
Most casters are able to gain the Nine Rings spell slot at level eighteen.
Once they successfully cast their first Nine Rings spell, they are revered as quasi-legends.
Because it's only a matter of time before they step into the legend.
Not to mention that there are no legends that suddenly appeared, even quasi-legends have not suddenly appeared.
Each of them is known to the great forces, and it is registered and closely watched.
Although most of them can't be tracked, after all, the casters above the transcendent have begun to possess teleportation techniques, and one by one they are elusive, making it impossible to trace them at all.
As for the newly baked Sir Gavin in Battle Valley, they have already found out inside and out, and there is no news about which quasi-legend he is close to, otherwise they would be more cautious.
You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
