Vol 3 Chapter 43: Narrow path

After the small mercenary group settled down, hosted by Barbas and Daqingshan, they divided the occupations of the new soldiers of the mercenary group. Horns and Chi Aotian checked the terrain near the ice port every day-this It is also a required course for Imperial Knight School. Under the leadership of their respective captains and deputy captains, the young men of the small mercenary regiment conducted continuous training from morning to night.
The head of the mercenary regiment, His Excellency Amy, became the most idle person in the regiment. Taking advantage of the rare free time, Amy was soaked in the city hall ’s meeting room every day like a fish and became a guest of merchants.
The businessmen have expressed great welcome to the head of Amy. They have never met such a sincerely consulted warrior and are an emperor's resounding figure. In front of Amy's angelic pure smile, they spoke endlessly. With all the anecdotes about the icebreaker, including how fishermen catch salmon, how roe is shipped to all parts of the continent in the surroundings of tarmac, the price of salmon roe in various countries, etc., Amy Elephant is the best listener to listen to.
In his free time, Amy is even more eager to invite businessmen to play near the ice-breaking port. The businessmen very much like the feeling of being surrounded by the dragon mad knight, and they have more affection for Amy, many of which are large The businessman asked whether Amy was married.
The cadres of the small mercenary group expressed confusion about Amy's daily business and daily businessmen (not even girls). At the group meeting a month later, Hornes directly raised his doubts.
Amy looked around everyone with a smile, broke her finger and calculated a surprise account for everyone: the small mercenary regiment currently has nearly 2,000 regular mercenaries, and there are the same number of family members on the frozen continent. Unlike most mercenary regiments, mercenary regiments must take care of the lives of their families. As a regular mercenary of the Empire, each person consumes at least 100 gold coins each year, including equipment updates, training, salary, etc., and the small mercenary regiment also has a lot of mounts, and the total number of young chicks is already close to 600. These In addition to more than 100 horses, the other vultures and ground dragons all eat meat. Each year the feed cost of each horse is far more than the cost of the knight itself; the small mercenary group also has a team of more than 100 magic swordsmen. The prices of all kinds of magic supplies are even more amazing.
According to conservative calculations, the small mercenary group needs to earn at least 400,000 gold coins each year to achieve dynamic balance.
At present, it seems that the small mercenary regiment has the richest city in the empire. However, in this seasonally profitable city, except for autumn, the small mercenary regiment has little chance of receiving any large-scale jobs. All business activities are restricted, even if the small mercenary regiment is willing to set up offices in other cities, it will not receive a lot of work.
The small mercenary regiment will be in a state of consumption greater than income. Judging from the current funding situation, a negative amount of funds will appear after one year.
Horns, Daqingshan, Chi Aotian, Barbath, etc. are all silly. No one can guess the real purpose of Amy these days.
As the manager of the mercenary regiment, everyone knows the most basic truth of "the soldiers and horses are not moving, the grain first", but no one understands this truth in a fundamental sense, nor does he think of it in the small mercenary regiment. The economic account behind Chi Fengyun.
Barbas walked up and patted Amy's shoulder vigorously: "Boy, okay, stronger than your dad. No matter what other people say, I think you are good."
Horns also received a lot of inspiration from Amy's words: "So, how do you think you can get the most benefit?"
The economic situation of the Dwarf Kingdom has not been very good. During the war in the mainland, the dwarves can earn a lot of money by selling high-quality weapons. If the mainland has been in a peaceful state, the price of weapons is quite low. The dwarves even need to sell to human society. Daily necessities such as hoe, sickle, kitchen knife or raw ore can make meager profits. It is precisely because of their livelihood that the original kind and peace-loving dwarves had to make a living by joining the army.
As the supreme king of the dwarf kingdom, no one has solved such problems, which is the most fundamental reason why the dwarf society has always been confined to the remote mountainous areas. As one of the heirs to the throne, Horns had not found the true roots of the dwarf kingdom that could not be developed before. Amy just made the young king understand completely.
Amy saw more understanding than Daqingshan and Chi Aotian in the eyes of Horns: "There are actually many ways. To put it bluntly, to give full play to the advantages of the region and our own."
In the past month, Amy learned from the merchants that the ice-breaking port is a pure resource exporting city, and the only thing exported is salmon roe. Amy carefully asked about salmon roe output, sales process, and the role of mercenary organizations in it. The businessmen did not expect that the large mercenary group also had the idea of ​​doing business. In the conversation, almost all of his trade secrets were sold.
Most of the merchants in the ice-breaking port have huge sales networks in cities across the mainland, and some merchants have monopolized salmon roe output for local sales.
Amy's idea is simple. Fully grasp the law of selling high and buying low. In the season of salmon listing, command the small mercenary regiment Hurricane Swordsman Battalion to drive the fish to catch fish-the small mercenary regiment has a large number of soldiers. Fishermen. Excavate large caves in the mountains near the ice-breaking port, grab floating ice from the ice-breaking port to build an ice cellar, let the ice magic swordsman and ice magic supreme lord Greener release ice magic to continue to reduce the temperature of the ice cellar, in anticipation Long-term preservation of fish roe.
In this way, in the salmon fish season, a large amount of fish roe is purchased to avoid the price drop caused by the large output. After the salmon season, especially in the winter, sales, you can even consider using the burrito swordsman camp and knight camp to the surrounding 300 Of cities in the world are carrying out roe delivery business, which is a great success.
Faced with the headmaster ’s shocking words, everyone in the room felt unbelievable. Horns almost jumped up and muttered to himself: "I really do n’t know how long this guy ’s head is, and almost put the mercenary regiment. All resources are used by everyone. "
When future generations praised the great role played by the small mercenary regiment in the battle of the gods, there were often people who had grapevine acid in their hearts: if I were there at the time, how could I do this. Almost everyone overlooked that there were five major mercenary regiments at the same level as the small mercenary regiments at that time. Any of them exceeded the small mercenary regiments in terms of influence and scale. Why can't other mercenary regiments be able to Reaching this peak state?
War is not just a contest between the brave. Most of the soldiers on paper can freely imagine how to command a large-scale corps on the continent of Eminol to ambush and ambush, and how to give full play to the role of knights, archers, mad warriors, spearmen, and magicians in the battle of thousands of people. Fight more enemies; most of the generals threw the logistics to the Imperial Army and to the army staff. But the fact only proves one thing: no economy is the basis, no matter how good the beginning is, the result of the war is extremely obvious.
At this point, the generals of the Faranos and Alcatraz continents felt much stronger than the generals of the Eminor continent in the battle of the gods, and the army of the Eminor continent also suffered. After the Battle of the Gods, the first chapter of all the cavalry school command courses appeared a sentence said by the mercenary king: "The dragon is to eat meat, the war horse is to eat fine feed, and the person is to eat. Never consider Feeding war horses with grass is only a plot that appears in the novel; a soldier without an economy and no supply line concept must not become an army commander! "
According to the wise instructions of the head of the regiment, the small mercenary regiment specifically created a part of the mercenaries to implement the relevant earning work. In order to avoid adversely affecting the local merchants, Amy expressed the above opinions through the city owner. In business talks, businessmen ’s opinions are strikingly similar. They all agree that the small mercenary group ’s formulation can maximize the benefits of the icebreaker. As long as there is no vicious competition, all businessmen will increase their income by at least 20%. In the face of the huge forces behind the small mercenary regiment, no businessmen are worried about anyone engaging in vicious competition-unless it is the small mercenary regiment itself.
The name "Golden Brain" quickly spread to the business world from the superstructure of the empire and the mercenary world. The businessmen believe that only the word "gold" can describe the brain full of wisdom in Amy's head.
On the 15th of February in the magic calendar, on February 15th, Amy and other small mercenary regiment leaders were training new recruits in the camp. Two raptor swordsmen were suddenly swaying in the sky. The young mercenaries jumped off the vulture quickly. There is impatience in the head: "The head of the newspaper, a large number of white sailboats appear 100 miles away in the southwestern sea ..." There was a pause. The teenager hesitated and said: "It seems ... it seems that it is like what we saw outside Xilin Island. sailboat."
The atmosphere on the stage suddenly became tense, and Horns said in unbelievable tone: "No, aren't they fighting near Alcatraz and Alcatraz soldiers and Imperial soldiers? You're not mistaken, are you? Mirage, right? "
After investigating the three wild eagle swordsmen sent out afterwards, he knew that the news I had just received was indeed nothing false.
After a whole winter of dormancy, the Fanos Corps of the Troops in Xilin Island failed to attack the beach head of the Lion River many times, and decisively made a leapfrog strategy. The Golden Dragon Knight Yemoda led 20,000 soldiers to the north and crossed 2500 miles. The sea attacked the ice-breaking port city, the largest seaport city on the west coast of the empire. Once the attack was successful, the Fanosi Western Expeditionary Army made a strategic shift across the board-all the senior commanders of the Fanosi Western Expeditionary Corps reached an agreement that after nearly half a year of war, most of the soldiers of the Amy Empire Gathered south of the Sanggan River, according to inside information, most cities are now garrisoned by imperial mercenaries and swordsmen battalions ~ EbookFREE.me ~ If this attack is successful, it will pose a great threat to the imperial kingdom, The Fanos Corps will also occupy considerable territory in the north.
The little mercenary gang eagle swordsman's investigation only got a part of the information. In addition to seeing a large number of sailing ships at the sea, the thousands of men who started with the famous Norton master Norton had landed in a small harbor and were dressed as imperial soldiers. The west coast starry night rushed to the ice floe port-for concealment, this unit only operated at night, and the vulture swordsman who could not move at night could not even notice this strange soldier.
It ’s not that the enemy does n’t get together.
Neither the chief of the small mercenary regiment nor Norton and Merlin of the Fanos Corps can imagine how they might be familiar opponents.
Both the small mercenary corps and the Fanos corps, the two sides have left the other side with unforgettable and tragic trauma for the defense of Xilin Island. In the face of such opponents, no commander needs to say anything to encourage morale. The two armies There is only one way to fight.
At this time, the regular mercenaries of the Empire that the small mercenary regiment can rely on are still thousands of miles away. The strength of the two sides is probably as follows: 8,500 light soldiers of the Werewolf of the Fanos side; 3,500 heavy infantry of the half-orc; and heavy infantry of the bear. 2000; 3000 Centaur archers; 1500 human knight troops; 67 pseudo-dragon knights; 150 sacred magicians.
Main Officer: Golden Dragon Knight Yemoda, Norton the Ten Thousand, Merlin the Ten Thousand.
The small mercenary regiment has 215 men and women battalion battalion; 250 bow and arrow battalion; 187 battalion battalion; 100 battalion knight battalion; 132 knight battalion; 158 battalion of magic sword battalion; The Great Swordsmen Battalion has 612 people.
