Vol 2 Chapter 451: Banquet of the Blue Feather Merchants Group

The war between the Kingdom of Rob and the Kingdom of the Black Holy Mountain is very dramatic.
Simply put, the Rob Kingdom is inferior to 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 mountain. The official fleet of the Rob Kingdom is more pitiful than the Black Holy Mountain Kingdom. Not only are the ships aging and backward, but the number is less than one third.
This comparison, no matter who is allowed to see it, does not feel that the Black Holy Mountain Kingdom is likely to be defeated.
but--
About half a month ago, the Kingdom of the Black Holy Mountain and the Kingdom of Rob, after a long period of failed negotiations on a disputed territory along the border, exploded in war.
At the beginning of the war, the army of the Rob Kingdom broke into the territory of the Black Holy Mountain Kingdom, armed with incomparable backward weapons, and defeated several lines of defense of the Black Holy Mountain Kingdom. The official fleet also took the initiative to attack. Under the command of the fleet commander, he sank almost the same number of ships of the Black Holy Mountain Kingdom as his own, with less than one third of his own losses.
This result was really stunned at the beginning of the war, but after slowly learning the details, it was not surprising.
why?
Quite simply, the Kingdom of the Black Holy Mountain is too rich, so rich that many people, including soldiers, have not lived a hard life, have not experienced any war, and are completely a group of farmers who have not seen blood. The high-ranking army is a group of politicians with big belly, and few of them know how to fight.
The Rob Kingdom is diametrically opposed, because of the lack of plains, lack of arable land, the population is not very small, and the composition is very complicated, which leads to the fighting of the weapons-for the Rob people, do not fight, fight hard to grab a good cultivated land, fight hard to grab more A little water to irrigate the cultivated land, there is no food to eat, you have to starve to death. Therefore, King Rob's national style is fierce and practical, and there is absolutely no nonsense. And, if you really fight, you are absolutely not afraid of death-those who are afraid of death will die long ago.
In this case, the Kingdom of the Black Holy Mountain and the Kingdom of Rob have a dispute over a territory. This controversial territory is still an extremely fertile plain. When the Black Holy Mountain Kingdom demands all possession, it challenges the bottom line of all Robes.
After the war, the Kingdom of Rob gave the Black Holy Mountain Kingdom a lesson, and let the Black Holy Mountain Kingdom understand that there is nothing great about being rich! Rich people who are rich do not necessarily fight poor people who have no money!
Of course, the Kingdom of the Black Holy Mountain is not uncomfortable to the limit. Although the whole country has a bad atmosphere, it has not yet rotted to the root. At a critical moment, there are people who are constantly standing up to turn the tide. Although the situation cannot be completely reversed for a while, it also makes the Rob Kingdom no longer as smooth as before.
In addition, many small countries and nobles who owe a lot of debt to the Black Holy Mountain Kingdom have expressed their views. As long as the Black Holy Mountain King needs it, he can immediately send troops to rescue. Therefore, there is no accident in war, and it will take a long time.
After understanding these circumstances, Richard looked at the pub owner and asked, "If that is the case, then you cannot go north in a short time?"
"It's not so absolute," the pub owner said. "Although the sea can't get through, the 6 places are still passable. The reason why many merchant ships stop here is to prepare to switch from the sea route to the 6 route here. The hinterland of the Black Holy Mountain Kingdom that was not attacked, bypassed the rest of the country, and finally completely bypassed the Rob Kingdom, reached the port of the more northern country, and re-entered the sea and boarded the ship north."
"It sounds a little troublesome."
"But at least it's a way, maybe it's a little longer, but it's better than being stuck here all the time. Otherwise, it won't necessarily be open until next year." The pub owner said, picking up the silver coins on the bar surface and stuffing it into Li In Cha's hand, he exhaled, "Guest, if you really want to go north, I advise you to think about the 6 way. As for the money, you take it, I am talking about everyone What you know shouldn’t be charged at all."
Richard's eyes flickered, and he put the silver coins back on the bar counter, saying: "Maybe many of the things you said are indeed known, but I don't know, that is valuable to me. You saved me a lot of time, you There is every reason to hold it. If you feel embarrassed, then give me a piece of bread. I need to eat something and think about how to do it next."
"That's okay." The pub owner hesitated, put away the silver coins, and shouted at the back kitchen, "Nops, a bread, the best kind! Add honey!"
"Oh."
Turning his head back, the pub owner smiled at Li Cha, then reached out and greeted the vacant table against the wall: "This guest, sit over there, it's quieter, you can think about it. As for bread, immediately Send it."
"There is labor," Richard said, picking up the clear water and walking to the table against the wall, sitting down and waiting patiently.
After a while, the bread was delivered.
Richard took it and took a bite. The taste is okay and has a slight sweet taste. It seems that honey is really added-this is amazing-there are no artificially cultivated bees in the current world, all are wild, think To pick honey is to risk your life. The price of honey is extremely expensive. According to the amount of honey added to the bread, no one-third silver coin in the whole bread can't be taken down at all, which is a complete high-end product.
Thinking of this, Li Cha once again added a few points to the pub owner's goodwill, but that's all it is, no extra ideas, continue to eat. Thinking while eating, is it really from the 6th road north, and if it is from the 6th road north, how to do it will be easier.
At this moment, a sound suddenly came from a table next to him, like a tentative question: "This... sir, you are going to go north from the 6th road, right?"
"Huh?" Richard looked away and saw more than a dozen people sitting on the table next to it.
The speaker is the leader of a group of people, about forty years old, with dark skin and a bearded beard. He looks very friendly-friendly and like a pig butcher~EbookFREE.me~ the other party's voice With a bit of gentle, negotiated tone: "Hello, this gentleman, I just saw that you had a short time with the pub owner, so guess, you might want to go north, if you don’t mind, talk to us One piece.
By the way, let me introduce myself. My name is Bard. I am the head of the Blue Feather Merchants Group. I took a boat from Lockes in the south and wanted to go to Bingya in the north. Here, because of the sea blockade, he was forced to go ashore and prepared to take route 6.
However, I heard that because there are too many trade groups and caravans on the 6th road recently, the public security is not very good, and a mercenary squad was hired specifically to protect them. The price of the mercenary squad is really a bit high, we bear some difficulties ourselves, specially invited a lone traveler like you. Don't worry, I won't ask for too high a price, as long as you can pay us two...amounts, just three silver coins. What do you think? "
After speaking, the other party looked expectant.
