Chapter 592: Dark Castle
In this regard, the Conqueror Chamber of Commerce has an absolute advantage, after all, there is Gavin standing behind it, and the series of resources he has will of course give priority to supporting her, and others dare not say, at least the business of Blood Gorge City and Dwarven Statue City, others do not want to grab it, and in a short time, it will be the exclusive franchise of the Conqueror Chamber of Commerce.
The conqueror's army has brought a lot of things along the way, such as building-style chariots, such as huge cattle, these two are a perfect match, not to mention the carrying capacity of ordinary heavy trucks, and there is also sufficient security in safety, which is simply the first choice for caravans.
As soon as the Conqueror Caravan made a banner, many merchants came to the door to inquire about the purchase, which was probably the first channel opened by the Conqueror Caravan.
"Originally, I thought we were well prepared, but now it seems that we still have a lot to improve." Ye Shandara said sincerely, "If you can, I would like to ask Lady to be our Finance Minister of Ivensor and jointly run and develop Avansor." ”
Of course, this matter is not a decision made on the slap of the head, but is deliberate.
The way she obtained Evanthor doomed her to be completely tied to the army of conquerors and Gavin, and to win and lose both.
Daphine stayed in Ivanaor, she must have her own tasks, rather than letting her make small moves behind her back, it is better to put it directly on the surface, so that the two are more firmly tied, you have me, I have you, when the time comes, she can't pit her own family, she must balance her interests.
At first glance, Avansor seems to be at a loss, completely becoming a tool in the hands of others.
But this matter depends on the volume, compared to the current Gavin, Evanosor is just a small city, a link in the ring of many interests.
The other party's hand casually fell a little bit, and it was much more than what she racked her brains to develop, so she actually earned it.
"It seems that it is not an accident that the lord handed over Evanoso to the lady." Devany couldn't help but glance at Yesandaragao, this is a woman who knows how to judge the situation and is proficient in flexibility, and with such a person, her work will be much easier, and their achievements in the Dragon Coast are likely to be even higher than expected.
For a city, finance is the door of life, and now that the other party has put all the door in his own hands, there is no more sincerity than this, which is even more than the Minister of the Interior that he originally planned.
Ye Shandala smiled slightly, "Can I assume that the lady has agreed to my request?" ”
"It's my pleasure." Daphne bowed slightly, "Lord of the City." ”
The same name, different tones, with different meanings.
"I'll leave it to the lady to customize the new advertisement." Yesandala was not suspicious, not only taking Daphany's advice, but also entrusting her with the task, after all, she had absolute convenience in this regard.
She had seen the phantom projection with her own eyes, and knew that the lethality of that thing in terms of advertising, it was not that she had not thought about this before, it was purely that she had just taken over a city, and there were a lot of things, and many things had not been completely straightened out, after all, they were a grass platform team, lacking management experience, and they didn't want to borrow her experience in this area to quickly bring Ivanaor into the normal development track.
"I will personally consult with Ms. Regina about this matter, but this new advertising model has not yet been promoted on a large scale, and there is no accurate market pricing, so in terms of price, it will be more troublesome, I suggest that we first customize a few to try, compare the effect and accurate psychological price, and then customize in large quantities is not too late." The speed at which Daphne enters the role is also one top one, and the front foot takes office, and the back foot can plan for Ivano and save money.
Although she holds the position of two companies, her interests are very well balanced.
Except for the Conqueror Chamber of Commerce and the Black Wing Guild, which are in charge of her, the others do not belong to her department, even if it is the same company, it does not desperately transfer the interests of its own department to another department, but tries to absorb it from its own department, and becoming its own performance is the king.
"Madame's suggestion is very reasonable, and it will be done according to Madame's proposal."
"In addition to that, I have another proposal."
"Ma'am."
"Lord Gavin ordered me to form the Conqueror's Chamber of Commerce here, Lord of the City should know about it, and I would like to ask your lord to make it the Municipal Chamber of Commerce of Ivanthor." Daphany wasn't an inch, but a further bundle.
Not to mention those city-states, even if it is a complete country like the Cormier Kingdom, it has its own royal chamber of commerce, and earning wealth for itself is secondary, and the main role is to regulate the trade market between the country and the city.
For example, some countries and cities urgently need materials, but the interests are relatively thin, or loss-making, those profit-seeking businessmen will definitely not sell, at this time, it is the turn of the municipal chamber of commerce.
When some merchants try to hoard and manipulate the price of certain goods in a city, they also need the intervention of the municipal chamber of commerce, transporting some of the same goods and selling them at normal prices, breaking this blockade.
All in all, it is an important economic tool for cities.
In order to support this tool, some preferential policies in the city, or some to anyone, will naturally be given priority to the municipal chamber of commerce, so that they can strengthen themselves.
The Conqueror Chamber of Commerce itself has the resources of Gavin's side, and if it is coupled with Ivano's home advantage, the speed of development will naturally double.
Ye Shandala laughed when she heard this: "How can the lady be smart and confused for a while? I still asked you to be the treasurer of Ivantil even though I knew that you were going to form the Conquistador's Chamber of Commerce, didn't I acquiesce in this matter? In this matter, whether you take advantage of it, or our Ivanao takes advantage, or is it something that is difficult to say. ”
"Ha......" Dafanie couldn't help laughing, "That's right, this matter is what I want to do, and if you join it, it's a win-win situation, this is the tone that Lord Gavin set from the beginning, it seems that the city lord has eaten more thoroughly than me in this area." ”
Daphany wants to take advantage of Ivantie's home advantage, why wouldn't Yesandara want to take advantage of Gavin's terrifying wealth?
This is much simpler and more efficient than building a municipal chamber of commerce on its own.
The various goods left by the Conquistador's army to the Conquistador's Chamber of Commerce before they left were millions, enough for them to quickly pull off the shelves.
After a slight hesitation, Ye Shandala couldn't help but ask, "Is there a portal in the original city hall?" Can you transfer supplies quickly? ”
It was not clear to others how much supplies the Conqueror's army had transferred through the original town hall, but she knew it.
Even if the two sides are close, if there is a portal in the center of her city, she can't ignore it.
"I'm sorry, before Lord Gavin left, he specially asked me to explain this matter to you, but I haven't had time yet." Daphne replied, "The original town hall did not have a portal, but because it was once semi-ghostly, it was connected to two other similar territories of the adults, which can quickly transfer supplies, but cannot teleport living people, and when necessary, it can provide you with some military support, but it is limited to the original town hall." ”
After all, the headquarters of the Conqueror Chamber of Commerce is located in the center of Ivanaso, and this matter must be explained, and with the large number of transactions going on, it is impossible to hide it.
"I see, I'm looking forward to the development of the Conqueror's Chamber of Commerce." Yesandara's eyes couldn't help but light up, this kind of rapid transfer will give the Conqueror Chamber of Commerce a strong competitiveness.
When other people's goods are still being transported by Baal on the road, he has already sold several batches, and even the entire market share has been occupied by them, and finally leads to a monopoly on some goods, which is not impossible.
"In terms of army construction, what does the city lord have in mind?" Seeing that the atmosphere was good, Daphany directly turned the topic to the army.
Force and money are the two most important tools to control a city, and both are indispensable, especially when wolves are looking around.
Yeshandala replied without hesitation: "I am going to form a ranger guard, a light cavalry, the number of which is tentatively set at three hundred, the main force will be drawn from the side of the Avenger Resistance, and the rest will be supplemented by locals. ”
After years of guerrilla career, Yeshandara attached great importance to the mobility of the army, and even if he became the lord of a city, his mind did not change.
"Enough." Daphne nodded and said, "Actually, Evanath's final situation depends on the army of conquerors led by Lord Gavin, if everything goes well, even if Evanosor doesn't have a single soldier, no one will dare to touch us."
But once they collapse on the whole front, even if our troops are several times larger, we will not be able to resist the siege of the wolves, and it is the wisest choice to abandon Ivanthor and enter the guerrilla state again. ”
"Yes, I hope that Lord Gavin can continue to maintain the current momentum, tear through all obstacles, and reach his destination smoothly." Yesandara also wishes from the heart.
Because Daphany is telling the truth.
This is where Avansor really finds himself right now.
They may be the only ones in the entire Dragon Coast who are waiting for the conqueror's army to succeed, and all the other cities are waiting for them to fail.
The army of conquerors does not mean to make any more branches on the Dragon Coast, the value here, they have already squeezed it almost, at least through the current way, it is impossible to squeeze out more oil, but it is urgent, and even the current interests cannot be saved.
After leaving Evanthor, they followed the trade route between Avansor and Boscu, and went straight to the Goblin Border Path, also known as the Wasteland Path.
The army of the conquerors completed the trade route between Ivantus and Postcu for more than 200 kilometers, and it took only two days for the army of the conquerors to complete it, setting up camp on the trade route twenty kilometers away from Postcu.
Even if the rulers of the city of Bosku were given ten dares, they would not dare to allow the army of conquerors to spend the night in the city of Bosku.
Because the city has a population of more than 20,000 people, the army of conquerors is twice as large.
They set up camp on the front foot, and Onara Obastar, the ruler of Boscu on the back foot, came to visit, naturally to discuss the question of the conquistador's army.
Poscus is a frontier city, just blocked at the interface between the Sunset Mountains and the Cape of Storm, and the Wasteland Trails that traverse their city, especially the Wasteland Bridge, are the only way for a large army like the Conqueror Army to enter the Goblin Frontier.
The matter of borrowing from Bosku had already been finalized when negotiating with the Dragon Coast Alliance.
Naturally, the conqueror's army will not have any worries, if they can't let it go, they can just take it down.
Gavin and the others wished that the ruler of the city of Bosku would do such a stupid thing.
If they defeat Bosku, they will not return it like they did with Ivanao, but directly occupy it and send troops to garrison it, after all, it is a border city, and they only need to defend one side, unlike Ivanaor who is surrounded by enemies on all sides.
When the time comes, you can still protect your own retreat, and once the war in the Goblin Frontier is unfavorable, you can also retreat.
Unfortunately, the rulers of Posku were shrewd and cautious, not only did they open their path, but they did not forget to put pressure on them, showing them that the main force of the Dragon Coast Coalition was fifty kilometers behind the conqueror's army, and that if they tried to attack the city of Bosku, they would definitely face the fate of being flanked in front and back, and that the city of Posku was ready for street fighting, because this was what they were best at.
Currently ruled by the Thieves' Guild known as the Light of Postcu, led by Onara, they are the only superficial dark force in the entire Dragon Coast city, and for now, they have a good reputation in Bossu, with many citizens supporting their rule.
Because their methods are far more efficient and cleaner than those of the previous rulers, because they are faithful, and if they eat their share, they will provide protection from the oppression of other powers, and they will not be exploited under the name of repetition.
When Gavin and Yessandara analyzed the situation on the entire Dragon Coast and those dark forces, he expressed his appreciation for this force, and listed it as a joint goal in the future.
But that's for later, and now the existence of the conqueror's army itself is a threat to them, no matter what Gavin says, it's all false, and in the end it depends on their performance in the goblin frontier.
Once you can break the game, you will live all over the game, and if you can, you will lose all the games, and you will be embattled.
So, all along, Gavin only promised that the city of Bosku would not be hostile to the conqueror's army, and that they would not touch the city at all, and nothing else was proposed.
The next day, the army of the conquerors passed through the city of Bosku without a wave, and plunged headlong into the goblin frontier.
At least for the army of conquerors, it was unwavering, and it is not known whether the hearts of the soldiers and civilians of Persian were raised to their throats.
When the army of conquerors officially stepped into the Goblin Frontier Wilderness, the waves hidden under the surface of the water immediately surged wildly.
The Dragon Coast Coalition Army did not disband on the spot, but rushed directly into Bosku, completely blocking the wasteland path, and at the same time raising and strengthening the walls of Bosku City at any cost, the purpose is self-evident, that is, to block the army of conquerors in the Goblin Border Wasteland, so that they have no way to go south again.
At the same time, a large number of pirate ships sailed up the river of the borderlands, following the army of conquerors and monitoring their every move.
Now they cowered on the surface of the river, making no move, and if the army of conquerors was in a disadvantageous situation, they would definitely rush ashore like jackals that smelled fish.
But the biggest waves are in the north, in a castle called Dark Castle.
Located at the confluence of the Sunset Mountains and the Grey Observer Mountains, the remnants of an exposed rock mass in the Grey Observer Mountains, the castle is named after the inky obsidian black that used to build the castle, and from a distance it looks like a giant dark monster lurking in the mountains.
It's just that neither the Sunset Mountains nor the Gray Observer Mountains produce this obsidian, they are transported from afar, and as for where they are transported, it is unknown, because this castle was not built by humans, but by giants, and the gates, corridors, and ceilings are amazingly large.
There are two very different versions of the legend of this castle, one is that it originated in the Age of Giants, when giants were absolutely dominant, and the castle traveled all over the world, and it was a garrison fortress for them to control the surrounding area.
The other is more close, from the hands of the Netharel Empire, built by the Arcanists who enslaved the Elemental Elders, simply because it has a large number of Arcane inscriptions that belong to the Arcanists, which is extremely valuable for research.
Compared with the latter, there are more people who believe in the former, after all, the former is more common sense and logic, even if the Arcanist of the Netharel Empire wants to show his strength, there is no need to build the building into the appearance he does not need, but the Arcanist's Arcane Inscription can be engraved when he occupies this place the day after tomorrow.
However, since 250 years ago, the black walls and towering spires have been painted with Z-shaped symbols, and have become a base for the Santalim Society in the west, and it has become more and more important as the Santalin Society has been laid out in the west to try to open up new commercial routes.
Especially after the death of the tyrannical god Bane, the master of the Dark Fortress and the personal disciple of Manson, the ruler of the Santarin Society, Simanmon, in order to fight against his old enemy Bane High Priest Bozor, did not hesitate to throw himself into the arms of the conspiracy god Shirek and became the staunchest supporter of the Santarin Shirek faction.
With the rise of the god of conspiracy, the god of conspiracy, the Dark Fortress he commanded, naturally rose to the status of the Santarin Society, and was no longer a remote sub-base, but a dark lair where the believers of the god of conspiracy Hirek used their own intrigues and tricks to expand their divine influence.
As the conspiracies of the believers of the god of conspiracy are carried out in the surrounding area one by one, the name of the god of conspiracy is getting louder and louder, and the deterrent power of the dark fortress is also increasing, which makes the towns around the Sunset Mountains have to unite to fight against this pressure, but they still can't stop the dark arrow from the dark castle, because they believe in the god of conspiracy, they rarely take action in person, they prefer to watch those good people fight, because of their own intrigues.
At this moment, in the dark fortress, there were once again whispers belonging to a conspiracy.
