Chapter Errors/Click here to report

The night is like water, and unlike the atmosphere of the Kugit camp camped outside the city, the night in the inner city of the Sarmoa fortress is very lively, and the noisy noise can even be heard by the Kugit people stationed outside the city, and the red light of the red sky in the castle makes the Kugit people scratch their heads.

The commercial area outside the barracks on the inner wall of the fortress is full of tents of all sizes, and the traders who peddle goods are comparable to an army of thousands of people.

The vendors in the trading tent worked hard to wave all kinds of goods in their hands, salivating and selling their goods, from weapons and equipment to all kinds of fruits, and the opposing goods almost filled the tent behind them

On the left, there are dozens of tents arranged in a food street of hundreds of meters, piles of peasants and soldiers are happily colliding with each other with the ale in their hands, a dozen gorgeous and charming Saxon dancers are dancing the enthusiastic Saxon thigh dance on the big round platform in the center of the tent, and the white long legs exposed under the gaudy silk cloth attract the nearby soldiers and peasants who drink with excitement and shouts and cheers

Behind the barracks is the blacksmith quarter, where hundreds of blacksmith shops are divided into three rows, and the fire is bright, the sound of ticking and trampling is like playing music, and the crisp sound of metal hitting is stirring in the night, which can be heard from a long distance

Nearly a thousand blacksmiths from the three territories were working day and night to craft the latest weapons and equipment, and the flat wagons transporting ore were constantly transported from outside the castle gates to the blacksmith quarters, and then transported to the blacksmith area on the flat stone road behind the Guò barracks.

The wide stone road allowed three horse-drawn carriages to travel side by side at the same time, and piles of iron ore were unloaded from the flatbed carriages and piled up into small black iron mountains.

These are all high-quality iron ore transported from the Saganin iron ore mine ten miles away, and the fat man arranged for 1,000 refugees to work there, and authorized the villagers near Saganin to use a hundred wagons to transport ore to deduct this year's taxes.

The happy villagers of Sagnin then took advantage of the leisurely evening to transport iron ore, and when they were lucky, they could run twice a night, and they could run all the taxes of the whole year in 50 days.

The weaving of people, the bustling night market, the nervous blacksmiths, there was not the slightest hint of pre-war tension in the Sathero fortress, and the crowd inside did not give the slightest hint of fear that the Kugit would break through the fortified fortress

Scelis, the envoy of Kugit who followed the guards to the bedroom to rest, stopped, and stood in the corridor high above the castle to see the lively scene below, and the continuous firelight below reflected the sky red.

"Who are these people, and what are they doing down there?"

Looking at the bustle inside the castle walls, Scelis didn't expect to see this scene in this well-defended fortress, which didn't look like a heavily guarded fortress at all, but more like a bustling medium-sized town.

This time, Scelis, who served as the envoy, was not only the envoy of the negotiations, but also the task of reconnoitring the defense of the fortress.

"The world is big, and the food is the biggest!"

Kugit spies had already figured out that several large grain-producing areas in the south of the kingdom were transporting large quantities of grain to the fortress of Samoor, and it was conservatively estimated that the grain in the fort might be more than a million stones, enough to feed all the Kugit troops for two years

For Celes, who was in dire need of food, this fat man who had taken up so much grain was a big customer, as long as he could exchange one-third of the grain from his hands, all the Kugit people would not have to go hungry to return to the prairie.

Celis found that the former dilapidated fortress of Samoel had been re-fortified by the Vikyans, and the spies asked the newspaper to say that the 10,000 or so defenders were still conservative estimates.

Just looking at the large military camp that covers an area of nearly two miles below and the many soldiers walking back and forth, Celess thinks that there are at least about 15,000 people.

If you count the peasants and merchants stranded in the fortress, the strength of the fortress will definitely exceed the 20,000 mark

20,000! Scelis's heart trembled, and she held the five thin fingers of the sapphire hilt

Almost two-thirds of the total number of troops in Kugit Nan, and the soldiers were all well-dressed in chain mail, and even when they drank, they did not forget to keep their weapons within reach of them at any time, and the weapons glowed red in the light of nearby torches

Despite the noise below, there were still dozens of soldiers patrolling the neighborhood in an orderly manner, and Scelis knew from this that these were not ordinary peasant soldiers, but well-trained professional soldiers.

Celelise secretly weighed in her heart, without more than 15,000 elite Kugit warriors, the thought of capturing this well-guarded and heavily guarded fortress was simply a fool's dream, and it had to be the most elite steel-armored warriors

The main force of the Kugit had already been mired in the siege of Krysdor, Kyoto, and it was simply impossible to draw up extra forces to storm a heavily guarded fortress.

Even a cavalry legion stationed in the town of Hitterlu was only brought by Celes from the royal court, and King Kugit had a strict order that even if all his people were cut down by the fortress, that legion must not attack the fortress without permission, because it was the last cavalry unit to be guarded by the royal court of Kugit

This is also the background of Scelis's helplessness to come to negotiate, if there were still tens of thousands of elite soldiers in their hands, the Kugit would have already begun to attack Samoor, and there was still a need to negotiate with Samoril Fortress

The confident Scelis didn't expect that the fat man of Samori, who had a lot of food in his hands, would not have any sense of redemption, but put on a scoundrel face who only recognized money, which made Sselis, who was burdened with heavy responsibilities, feel a headache.

The Kujit people robbed a lot of money when they went south this time, but most of it was in the hands of the king of the left guard, who was in charge of outflanking, and some of it fell into the hands of Prince Stan, the deputy commander of the royal court guard, and finally left in the hands of the royal court guard at most 600,000 yuan.

The royal court attaches more importance to the number of captives in his hands, that is the golden lump that can be exchanged for a large amount of gold coins, instead of marching with heavy belongings, it is better to follow the golden lumps who can walk on their own

However, Celelise now finds that the royal court is wrong, the king of the Wiki people, Chrysdo, is surrounded by himself like an iron bucket, and the 200,000 Vykian defenders in it are worse than the Kujits, and it is said that they have reached the point of cannibalism, and it is impossible to take out food.

However, the fortress of Samoor, which had the food, was not interested in these captives at all, which made the more than 100 noble captives useless waste except for the consumption of what little food they had

The fat man did not know that the pride of the Kugit people, the news that the famous son of the eagle had fallen in the mountains of Sodalai in the south of the kingdom three months ago had caused a lot of shock among the Kugit high-level.

The central radicals, led by Zuo Weiwang, believed that the mountainous and hilly south was not conducive to large-scale cavalry combat, and that it was easy to be ambushed by those cunning Vecchians, and that attacking the south was itself a wrong plan,

Prince Kutan, who now advocates going south, has confirmed this speculation with his own life

Under the Jianyi of the king of Zuowei, who advocated the capture of the central region, the royal court had to abandon the plan of dividing the troops to the south and concentrate his troops to advance into the central part with all his might, which broke out the bloody siege of the royal capital Claisdor

I don't know what the fat man of Samarol would have thought if he knew that it was his unintentional actions that caused the Kugit to abandon this possible plan to conquer all of Wiki

Scelis knew from the Wiki Army newspaper intercepted two months ago that her nemesis, Prince Kutan, had died at the hands of Samoor, a lewd fat man.

And now, judging from the construction situation in full swing inside the Satamor Fortress, it is estimated that the large amount of property plundered by Kutan against the Satas has not escaped the clutches of this dead fat man, and he can't help frowning, and his face is blue and he scolds,

"Kutan is a big fool who has been busy for half a year, and he actually picked up a cheap cheap for a weak dead fat man, which is really a shame for the Kugits!"

If you want money, you want food, and you still have tens of thousands of elite troops in your hands, if you are afraid of it, you will not care about the life or death of the captured nobles.

Celess sighed in her heart, this mission is really not easy

"Those are the refugees who have been settled by my family and the merchants who have come with the army, they are always so enthusiastic, such trade activities usually continue until dawn, I hope these people will not disturb the rest of the envoy?"

The guard who led the way saw the sadness on Scelis's face, and thought that he had offended the envoy, so he quickly replied respectfully,

"Merchants, why are these merchants in the fortress?"

Hearing the guard's explanation, Scelis's face became even more confused

"Our adults say that the army needs food, weapons, and supplies, and these merchants can provide us with these things we need, and we can also hand over the things we don't need or the loot to these merchants to deal with, which is a matter of killing two birds with one stone, and can save us a lot of unnecessary expenses!

"One-stop service, food, garrison supplies, merchants, spoils, supplies at any time, transport yourself, what do you mean?"

Scelis struggled to connect the dots in her head, and her mind became a mess

The modern "one-stop" service is the product of a certain stage of commercial development, and it is a complex enough headache for the unbusiness-minded Kujits, even for the intelligent Celes, it is a complicated and painful relationship

That night, in her dream, Celes saw arrows, stones, and rolling logs raining down on her army from the towering walls of Samori.

Groups of merchants braved the danger of arrows to carry all kinds of materials to the city tower, and the materials for defending the city increased compared to just now, and the corpses of the Kugit warriors under their command were higher than the city walls.

A river of blood flowed from the bright red human blood under his feet, and a very obscene fat man was holding the meat scraps in his teeth with a small wooden stick in his hand, and stood on the city wall with a contemptuous face and smirked at himself.

"Ahh

This unbelievable scene caused Scelis to let out a crisp scream, and when she sat up, she realized that she had a nightmare.

"The dream just now should be a one-stop service in the mouth of the soldiers! A garrison can get supplies from suppliers at any time, does this battle still need to be fought?"

Scelis muttered to herself, got up and came to the window of the castle, pushed open the wooden window frame, and there was a noisy entertainment outside the window, and suddenly a gust of night wind blew, and Scelis felt a chill behind her, and touched it with her white hand, and cold sweat wet the clothes on her back.

The next day, negotiations on food were still in the halls of Samoriel

"Except for the captive, we can talk about other conditions! I am a kind person, I believe that there is nothing in this world that cannot be exchanged, it only depends on whether you have this value."

Scelis saw the fat man who had just finished breakfast walking in with a satisfied stomach, picking his teeth with a toothpick in his hand, and a sly smile from last night's dream
