The Rhapsody of Mounted Blade Players

Seeing that so many people wanted to follow him, Ye Tianlong simply asked these civilians to help load the weapons, armor and various gifts into the car as soon as possible.

This time, in addition to bringing the fifty sets of Iron Buddha heavy-duty armor to Baron Sol, he also prepared many gifts. In addition, he also prepared many weapons and weapons that he had captured after fighting monsters and destroying the large pirate battle group. Ye Tianlong was also planning to take most of the armor to Odasan town and sell it.

After all, most of these gadgets were just a pile of scrap metal in Ye Tianlong's eyes. Only a few of them were of barely acceptable quality, which he repaired and kept in the camp to reward those civilians and craftsmen who performed better. .

These things filled more than a dozen cars, and there were more than a hundred civilians and craftsmen who were preparing to go back to Odasang Town to pick up their families. Therefore, in order to allow this team to arrive in Odasang Town safely, Ye Tianlong He took all his thirty-nine Kuset Khan guards with him, and also asked Li Rufeng and Jiang You to go with him.

After more than an hour of preparation, this large team finally set off on the road. Ye Tianlong took his master Li Rufeng and ten Cosette Khan guards at the front to clear the way.

Perhaps it was because the Kuset Khan guards under Ye Tianlong were so well-equipped and intimidating enough that there were no short-sighted gangsters who dared to jump out to block the road and rob them, allowing Ye Tianlong and the others to arrive smoothly. The town of Odasan.

It was almost noon at this time, and the town of Odasan was also very lively, with many caravans coming in and out of the city gate.

It turns out that during this period, Baron Saul not only sold all the artificial gems Ye Tianlong gave him, but also sold the liquor Ye Tianlong gave him. After all, in Saul's view, it was used for The drinks are held in crystal clear glass bottles. The drinks inside must be good ones! Those big nobles who are good at wine will definitely like it.

After selling those things, Sol suddenly received hundreds of thousands of dinars. With so much money, he began to expand his army crazily.

The army that originally had only more than a hundred people was expanded to more than [-] people in just a few days. At the same time, he also began to frantically purchase soldiers, armor, money and food from various places to prepare for the next war. Prepare.

Today, a group of grain merchants arrived at the town of Odasan with a large amount of grain.

After Ye Tianlong learned about this situation from a guard at the city gate, he felt that he might be able to make a fortune here. After all, the real world has already had excess production capacity, but there are still many distribution problems. He is just a poor man, and because of overcapacity, the price of food in the real world is much cheaper than that in the riding and slashing world. He can buy a batch of food in the real world and sell it to Baron Saul at a high price!

Just when Ye Tianlong was thinking about the feasibility of this matter, the caravans in front had already entered the city one after another, so Ye Tianlong also led his team into the small town of Odasang. middle.

Because the size of Ye Tianlong's team was so large, they quickly alerted the local lord, Baron Sol.

After the two met and chatted for a few words, Thor suddenly smiled on his face when he heard that the other party was here to deliver the pre-ordered armor to him.

After that, he didn't bother to chat with Ye Tianlong, and took the three knights directly to check the iron pagoda heavy-duty armor that Ye Tianlong brought.

The results of the inspection also made Thor very satisfied. This batch of armors are obviously brand new and of excellent quality. Their defensive power is even better than that of full-body plate armor. You must know that the full-body plate armor in the original version is The defense power is only fifty-five points, but the defense power of this batch of 'fake' products brought by Ye Tianlong is as high as sixty points!

Being able to obtain such a batch of high-quality armors in such a short period of time made Thor pay more attention to Ye Tianlong, a maritime merchant. After all, every process in the original world of riding and slashing requires craftsmen to complete it by hand. Among them, making fifty sets of such heavy-duty armor is definitely not an easy task!

What made Saul even more happy was that he discovered that among the goods brought by Ye Tianlong, there were actually more than two hundred sets of other types of armor and weapons. Although these armors and weapons were not as good as the batch of iron pagoda heavy-duty armor. There is obviously a huge gap, and they are all old goods. Some of them have blood stains on them. They should be captured trophies, but Thor is not picky. After all, he has recently recruited a lot of new soldiers, many of whom are He was also wearing extremely simple cloth and leather armor! Although the quality of these armors seems to be a little worse, at least they are iron armors! The defense is definitely much higher than cloth armor and leather armor.

So Sol also made a request to Ye Tianlong to purchase this batch of equipment, because Ye Tianlong happened to have something to ask him for later! So I sold half of them and gave them half for free, and sold all the equipment to the other party for only [-] dinars.

After that, Ye Tianlong asked people to move the various gifts he brought to Sol to the castle as usual.

In the end, Ye Tianlong even took out the batch of crested axes given to the other party, saying that they were gifts from the other party for ordering the batch of armors.

Sol personally checked the quality of this batch of battle axes and was very satisfied with it. He accepted it very happily. When Ye Tianlong asked someone to take out the Xuanhua ax specially prepared by Murong Jie, he said that it was for Baron Sol. When he was in person, Baron Sol smiled brightly and even began to call himself brothers with Ye Tianlong.

Seeing that the other party was in a good mood, Ye Tianlong took the opportunity to make his request, hoping that Saul would allow Judy and others to move their family to him and become his subjects from then on.

When Sol heard the other party's request, he couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart, thinking that he was still careless! As the saying goes, showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing! It's ridiculous that he actually thought that he had really met the good boy! Unexpectedly, this profiteer was waiting for him here!

It would be fine if the other party only wanted one or two, but now the other party wants more than a hundred people. Adding in the families of these people, the number is probably two to three hundred! So how could Sol be willing to agree to this request?

But the two sides talked so harmoniously just now, and they were like brothers. Sol couldn't refuse directly. He could only think hard, trying to find an excuse to put the matter away for a while.

Ye Tianlong naturally knew that the other party would not agree to this so easily, so he said that he could pay a ransom of one hundred dinars to those who defected to his territory. And he can also provide Sol with another batch of grain below the market price.

Sol was finally moved when he heard that Ye Tianlong could provide him with a batch of food at a price lower than the market price. After all, he had expanded his army so much at once, and the daily training and subsequent departure to participate in battles must have consumed a lot of food. It must be It would be better to prepare more in advance, but food has always been in short supply on the war-torn Calradia continent. He had gone through many contacts these days and only bought a few thousand kilograms, which was still far from his goal. There are quite a few differences! Moreover, the price of these grains is also very high. If he continues to purchase them at this price, he will not have enough money at all!

Now that Ye Tianlong said that he could sell him a batch of grain at a price lower than the market price, how could Sol not be tempted!

So he gritted his teeth and said to Ye Tianlong: "One hundred dinars is too little, at least two hundred dinars per person. This money can be used as funds to buy food. If you can get it for me within a week, If you bring [-] catties of grain, then those people will be yours."

"Okay! It's a deal!" Upon hearing this, Ye Tianlong happily shook hands with the other party and directly agreed to the other party's request.

When Thor saw the other party agreeing so simply, he couldn't help but think to himself: It's broken! This big dog seems to have money and food in his hands! I want less!

It's a pity that although he regretted that he had to lose the money, Thor, as a noble, still wanted to have some face, so he could only accept the deal with a grimace.

In fact, he did not suffer a loss in this transaction. After all, if it were other lords, even if he was willing to sell people, those lords would not be able to exchange so much food with him in a short period of time.

While Ye Tianlong and Baron Saul were engaging in deceitful transactions, the ambitious King Haraus of the Kingdom of Swadia, who had just succeeded to the throne, summoned six people in one go in order to establish his prestige as the new king. Thousands of armies launched an attack on the Kingdom of Nord.

Unlike several other countries, the Nord Kingdom is actually an invader that has just arrived on the continent of Calradia in the past hundred years or so. It is rumored that the Nords came across the sea from another continent overseas.

Since it was a foreign invader, the territory of the Kingdom of Nord was naturally snatched from other countries. Many of them originally belonged to the Kingdom of Swadia, so King Haraus wanted to regain the lost territory. With the slogan, he was able to easily summon an army of more than [-] people and launched an attack on the Kingdom of Nord.

The first target of the attack by the Kingdom of Swadia's army was Fort Rud, located on the border between the two countries.

Because this Rudeburg is located on the border, it is built according to the standards of a major military town. Not only does it have a solid stone wall, but it is also guarded by Count Olaf of the Kingdom of Nord. There are more than five hundred elite soldiers.

After Olaf discovered the incoming Svadia army, he sent a team of light cavalry to spread the news back to the country, and at the same time led his soldiers to quickly clear the surrounding castle walls and prepare for a long-term confrontation.

And this is a pain for the ordinary farmers who farm around the castle. Following Olaf's order, all the crops that have not yet matured were burned to ashes. This means that these farmers will have no crops this season. There is no grain to be harvested. If there is some food storage at home, it is okay. If there is not much food storage at home, then I am afraid that the whole family will starve to death before long.

In addition to the crops outside the city being burned, all the trees, regardless of size, were cut down. The larger ones could be made into rolling logs and later used to defend the city, while the smaller ones were chopped into firewood and later used for burning. meal, or light a fire to keep warm. In short, nothing can be left behind that can be used by the enemy.

In addition, Olaf also took advantage of the fact that before the enemy troops arrived, he began to rapidly expand his army. He had two channels for expanding his army. One was to select some of the stronger civilians from among the civilians and recruit them into the army. The other channel was to recruit those who happened to be staying in the city. The mercenaries there recruited them under their command through inducements.
