After laughing, the three sat around, and Ryan continued the previous topic. He asked Flaner: "I always have a question."
"Haha, Ryan." Flanner said with a smile: "You just let us not be too polite, then you must take the lead in complying."
Lane also smiled. He asked Flanner: "Flanner, you have been in Freedom Paradise for many years, you must be very familiar with the history here, right? I also know a lot of stories about Freedom Paradise, but I always have a question. In the long war of mankind's centuries-old calamity, this place was miraculously unharmed. There are several powerful empires. Those monarchs who can inspire teachers in one sentence, why not send troops to occupy this place? "
"Franner, look." Lane said, pointing at the street with people walking outside the window. "Freedom paradise merchants have gathered a lot of wealth over the years. Don't those kings be indifferent? There are no thick walls here, Without a wide moat and a large number of guards, it is simply an undefended city! "
"The Hundred Years War has been going on for more than a hundred years precisely because of the equal rivalry among several empires, and no one can do nothing, but if any king occupies this place, he will immediately have the huge wealth accumulated in the paradise of freedom. Is n’t that a reigning advantage in future wars? "
Ryan said all his doubts in one breath. He stared at Flanner, hoping he could give himself an answer.
Flanner picked up the wine that Ryan poured himself, and took a sip slowly, letting the taste of wine hover between the tip of his tongue and his throat. The room that had just been lively suddenly became quiet, and only a faint sound came from the window. Barking.
"Actually," Flaner, who was silent for a moment, put down the glass in his hand and suddenly said: "In the history of Freedom, there has been a war."
"Oh?" Ryan and Ellen do not know anything about this matter, and they immediately developed a strong interest. They looked at Flaner together with two pairs of eyes and listened to Franer's history quietly.
"At that time, in the 100-year catastrophe, indeed, as you said, there are several powerful empires that are evenly matched. Their kings are always thinking about defeating their opponents and expanding their territory. The position of Freedom Paradise is very good, he is not Like the dependent states of these empires, they are within the absolute power of the sovereign state, but between the powers of several empires. This is also the fundamental reason why Free Paradise is permanently neutral. "
"No matter which country Freedom Paradise prefers, it will be involved in that endless war. Even if the chosen forces win the final victory, it is impossible for a group of businessmen without a strong army to compete with one. Empires contend. After proclaiming to maintain permanent neutrality, the merchants of Freedom Paradise can justifiably do business in every empire, regardless of whether they are hostile. Between the more hostile countries, the merchants of Freedom Paradise The higher the profits, the higher the profit. "
"Any country ’s resources cannot be perfect, and normal trade is needed, but the perennial war has left two hostile countries lack of communication, resulting in a shortage of resources. This situation is cheaper for our bold ones. The ancestors. On one side is the battle of wars, on the other side is a long carriage team, as long as a sufficient number of mercenaries are hired to ship those goods safely, you can get ten times the benefits. "
"These decades were the prime time for the development of Freedom Paradise, and countless businessmen possessed countless wealth, which naturally attracted the attention of the greedy monarchs. They did not personally attack the Freedom Paradise, not that they did not want to, It is not willing to cause unnecessary trouble. If one does not handle it well, let Freedom Paradise fall to its opponent, which is not a good thing. "
"Finally, a king called the gorse empire could not stand a huge temptation and decided to occupy this place by force and plunder the wealth here. Of course, this king of the gorse empire was not a fool, he did not directly send troops to For the sake of security, he secretly ordered a Principality attached to him to send troops. "
"The Gorse Empire has three principalities closely attached to it. The principality that sent troops is called the Principality of Gris. It is about three days away from the paradise of freedom. In the calculation of the monarch of the Gorse, the Principality of Gris will 30,000 troops will be dispatched. He expects these 30,000 people to end the battle within five days. In just five days, even if other empires want to intervene, there is not much preparation time.
"So, the Duke of the Duchy of Gris sent a general and three infantry regiments, totaling 30,000. The 30,000 attacked a city that seemed to be undefended, shouldn't there be any problems?"
Speaking of this, Flanner paused deliberately, displeased Ryan and Allen who were interested in listening to the story, and shouted in unison: "Hurry up, hurry up, don't stop!"
Flanner smiled self-deprecatingly and stopped abruptly in a key place, allowing anxious opponents to eagerly bid for the following content, and get a greater profit. This was originally a very good commercial method. For many years, these things have already penetrated into the bone marrow, so they are used unconsciously.
Flanner couldn't help laughing, it seems that he used to be too involved in business in the past: "Look, even in front of friends, I didn't consciously use these methods. No wonder when no one is willing to help me when I am in trouble. For yourself, this really doesn't blame others. "
These thoughts flashed through Flanner's head. He took the wine glass and took a sip of wine to cover up the business method he had just subconsciously used. Then he cleared his throat and continued, "The Principality of Gris sent troops The night after that, Freedom Paradise got accurate news. "
"The next day, so fast?" Ryan thought it was a little weird, and interjected and asked, "How did this happen?"
Allen patted Ryan on the shoulder and said, "Don't talk, listen to Flaner." It seems that the indifferent Druid couldn't help but want to hear the story.
"Yes, as a businessman, get information faster than others, but it is a compulsory course." Flanner explained: "There are many ways to quickly deliver messages. For example, express mail by express horse, on the way Change horses instead of people. This method is mainly used in the northern prairie. After all, there are many horses there, and the terrain is also convenient for horses to run. There is also the training of excellent birds, so that these birds are familiar with the distance between the two places, and pass through them. Letters, this method is a lot faster, but the content of the letters ca n’t be too detailed, and it is easy to lose on the way. The easiest and most expensive is to use magic to pass it. As for what it looks like, I guess you are better than me. More clearly. "
"Well ..." Ryan scratched his head. He really didn't know the magic in this area, but how could it be easier to pass a letter than a person? When you return to the Imperial City, you must consult Victor , but he can even make a scroll of time and space to pass people. This little thing is naturally no longer a matter of course.
After Flanner explained it, he continued: "The businessmen of Freedom Paradise are united as never before in the face of a sudden disaster. In just a few hours, a temporary business alliance was established. This business alliance Responsible for responding to this crisis. Immediately afterwards, a huge amount of gold coins were pooled together and became the funding of the business alliance. "
"The first order of the business alliance was to hire mercenaries. After paying three times more than usual, a large number of mercenaries were hired by the business alliance. Once the news came out, there were more mercenaries. Desperately rushing to the paradise of freedom. Anyway, these mercenaries usually carry out many tasks, and they also take a lot of risks. Many times they also fight on the death line. For example, hunting for Warcraft, a large number of magic cores and furs are traded every year, but there are also Many mercenaries died under the fangs and claws of Warcraft. "
"The high amount of gold coins constitute the resistance army of Freedom Paradise. These mercenaries who were born and died together have a tacit cooperation with ordinary soldiers. They have experienced life and death, and they have rich combat experience. Indeed, these mercenaries are fighting on the front and Ca n’t compete with the regular army, but they also have their own strengths, such as the use of enemy forests along the way to forests, rivers, houses and other favorable terrain to harass and block them.

"Next, the business alliance urgently selected more than a dozen businessmen who were good at hoarding supplies. These businessmen took a sum of money separately and sneaked into the green capital of the Principality of Gris with their men quietly. Their mission It's very simple, using all kinds of means and madly buying all the strategic materials of the Principality of Gris, such as food, at several times the price. "
"The roads to Freedom Paradise were destroyed by mercenaries and the water source was poisoned. When the residents evacuated, they took everything that could be taken away, and those that could not be taken away were all burned. The army of the Principality of Gris has encountered fierce resistance on the way forward, the closer it is to Freedom Paradise, the more prosperous along the way, the houses built next door are more densely packed, the army of the Principality of Gris must seize the time to capture Freedom Paradise, otherwise it is very likely With the intervention of other empires, they did not have enough time to forcibly search all the houses along the way. The mercenaries hid in the empty houses and tried every means to reap the lives of the soldiers of the Gris army. "
"The companions who had dinner together yesterday may be harvested by the feather arrows shot out of the house the next moment, which has caused a great blow to their morale, so they can only raise their shields anytime, anywhere or Pray that God bless yourself. When Grice ’s army walked for four days before coming to the outskirts of Freedom Paradise, it was almost where I met you. After all, it has changed for many years. "
