Chapter 451 The Banquet of the Blue Feather Merchant Group
The war between Rob Kingdom and Black Holy Mountain Kingdom was very dramatic.
Simply put, the Kingdom of Rob is inferior to the Kingdom of the Black Holy Mountain in all aspects: the population is less than four-fifths of the Black Holy Mountain Kingdom, the territory is less than three-fifths, and it does not have a large plain like the Black Holy Mountain Kingdom. , the vast majority of the territory is high mountains. The official fleet of Rob Kingdom is even more pitiful compared to the Kingdom of Black Holy Mountain. Not only are the ships old and backward, but the number is less than one third.
Such a comparison, no matter who sees it, does not think that the Black Sacred Mountain Kingdom has the possibility of defeating it.
but--
About half a month ago, the Black Holy Mountain Kingdom and the Rob Kingdom failed after a long-term negotiation over a disputed territory on the border, and a war broke out.
At the beginning of the war, the army of the Rob Kingdom broke into the territory of the Black Holy Mountain Kingdom, holding the weapons that were extremely backward, and defeated several defense lines of the Black Holy Mountain Kingdom. The official fleet also took the initiative to attack. Under the command of the fleet commander, it sank almost as many ships of the Black Holy Mountain Kingdom as its own, and lost less than one third of its own.
Such a result was really stunned in the early days of the war, but after slowly understanding the details, it was no surprise.
Why?
It's very simple, the Black Holy Mountain Kingdom is too rich, so rich that many people, including soldiers, have not lived a hard life, have not experienced any wars, and are completely a group of farmers who have never seen blood. The military's top ranks, and even a group of potbellied politicians, did not know how to fight at all.
The Rob Kingdom is the exact opposite. Because of the lack of plains and arable land, the population is not very small, and the composition is very complex, which leads to fighting. With a little water to irrigate the farmland, there will be no food to eat, and you will starve to death. Therefore, King Rob's national style is sturdy and capable, and there is absolutely no nonsense. And, if you really fight, you're definitely not afraid of death—those who are afraid of death will already be dead.
In this case, the Black Holy Mountain Kingdom and the Rob Kingdom had a dispute over a piece of territory. And this disputed territory,
It is still an extremely fertile plain. When the Kingdom of Black Holy Mountain asked for all of it, it challenged the bottom line of all Rob people.
Once the war started, the Kingdom of Rob ruthlessly taught the Kingdom of the Black Holy Mountain a lesson and made the Kingdom of the Black Holy Mountain understand that being rich is nothing special! The rich with money may not beat the poor with no money!
Of course, the Black Sacred Mountain Kingdom has not reached its limit. Although the entire country has a bad atmosphere, it has not rotted to its roots. At the critical moment, someone constantly stood up to turn the tide. Although the situation could not be completely reversed for a while, it also made the Rob Kingdom no longer as smooth as before.
In addition, many small countries and nobles who owe a lot of debts to the Black Sacred Mountain Kingdom have stated that as long as the Black Sacred Mountain King needs, they can immediately send troops to rescue. Therefore, there is no accident in the war, and it will be a stalemate for a long time.
After Li Cha learned about the situation, he looked at the tavern owner and asked, "If that's the case, then it's impossible to go north in a short period of time, right?"
"It's not so absolute," said the tavern owner. "Although it is impossible to travel by sea, the 6th place is still passable. The reason why many merchant ships stop here is that they are going to turn from the sea to the 6th road, and pass through the 6th road. The hinterland of the Black Holy Mountain Kingdom, which was not attacked, bypassed the rest of the country, and finally completely bypassed the Rob Kingdom, arrived at the port of the more northern country, re-entered the sea, and sailed north."
"Sounds like a little trouble."
"But at least it's a solution. It may take a little longer, but it's better than staying stuck here. Otherwise, the sea route may not be able to pass until next year." The tavern owner said, picking up the silver coins on the surface of the bar and stuffing them into Li In Cha's hand, he took a deep breath and said, "Guest, if you really want to go north, I advise you to consider the route 6. As for the money, take it, I'm talking about everyone If you know something, you shouldn't be charged at all."
Richard's eyes flickered, and he put the silver coins back on the surface of the bar and said, "Maybe what you're talking about is known to many people, but I don't know, it's valuable to me. You've saved me a lot of time, you There's every reason to take it. If you're embarrassed, just bring me a loaf of bread. I need something to eat and think about what to do next."
"Then—well." The tavern owner hesitated, put away the silver coins, and turned to the back kitchen and shouted, "Noppus, a loaf of bread, the best kind! With honey!"
"Oh."
Turning his head, the tavern owner smiled at Richard, then stretched out his hand and greeted an vacant table against the wall: "This guest, sit over there, it's quieter, you can think hard. As for the bread, I'll give it a shot right away. deliver."
"There is work." Li Cha said, holding up the clear water and walking towards the table against the wall, sat down and waited patiently.
After a while, the bread was delivered.
Li Cha picked it up and took a bite, and now the taste is alright, and it has a slight sweetness. It seems that honey has really been added - this is amazing - there are currently no artificially farmed bees in the world, they are all wild. To harvest honey is risking your life. The price of honey is extremely expensive. According to the amount of honey added to the bread, the whole bread cannot be taken without one-third of the silver coins. It is considered a complete high-end product.
Thinking of this, Li Cha's goodwill towards the tavern owner increased a bit again, but that's all there was to it. He had no extra thoughts and continued to eat. Thinking while eating, is it really going north from Route 6, and if you go north from Route 6, what would be easier to do?
At this time, a voice suddenly came from a table next to it, and it seemed to ask tentatively, "This... sir, you are going north from Route 6, right?"
"Huh?" Li Cha turned his head to look, and saw more than ten people sitting at the table next to him.
The speaker, the leader of the group, was about forty years old, with dark skin and a beard on his face, and his appearance was very friendly—as friendly as a butcher who kills a pig.
The other party's voice was a bit gentle, and he said in a negotiating tone: "Hello, sir, I saw that you and the tavern owner talked for a long time, so I guess you may want to go north, if you don't mind. , come with us.
By the way, let me introduce myself. My name is Bud. I am the head of the Blue Feather Merchant Group. I came by boat from Rox in the south and want to go to Bingya in the north. When I got here, because of the blockade of the sea, I was forced to go ashore, and I was going to change to Route 6.
However, I heard that because there are too many business groups and caravans taking Route 6 recently, and the law and order is not very good, I specially hired a mercenary team to protect it. And the price of the mercenary squad is a bit high, we bear some difficulties ourselves, and specially invite a loner like you. Don't worry, I won't charge too much, as long as you can pay us two... amount, three silver coins. What do you think? "
After speaking, the other party showed a look of anticipation.
