Transcendent Noble
Chapter 475
How important is Wild Willow City to the Randal Family?
Randal Territory is located in the southwestern border of Human Kingdom. Its poor location makes Randal Territory particularly vulnerable to marginalization. If there is no Ant-Man, Victor would rather close the door and immerse himself in development, trying to be at ease. Now that Randal has become the front line to resist Ant-Man, Victor needs to supplement the population, materials and technology to expand the strength of Randal as soon as possible. The long and narrow Beria collar is the best bridge for Victor to communicate with the outside world.
More than 80% of Randal Family’s trade activities take place in Wild Willow City. The refugees absorbed by the Randal Family are also guided by the Beria family and flow into Randal in an orderly manner. In order to ensure the long-term stability of the family trading port and the population absorption policy, Victor occupies one-seventh of the shops in Wild Willow City.
The proportion of shops determines the right of each family to speak in the Wild Willow City market.
For the strategic consideration of Golden Group, Victor decided to revitalize the Raven Town trade beyond a thousand li. He promoted Centaur Hills to form the Chamber of Commerce, a two-headed lizard that purchases and purchases. But Raven Town is too far away from Randal, and Randal Family's commodities are mainly sold through the Wild Willow City market.
According to the truth, Randal Family products are now sold to Chamber of Commerce, Victor's store in Wild Willow City is not very important. But in fact, he still has supplies of Skylark Mountain Range and Great Swamp in his hand. These goods must pass through the shops in Wild Willow City, sold to freelance merchants, and flow to the black markets of major cities and towns, and finally realize the eastward strategy of Golden Group.
The loss of the Randal Family family's right to speak in the Wild Willow City market means that they have lost control of freedmen businessmen. They can buy goods from shops of other families for transshipment and reselling. Golden Group's eastward strategy will completely collapse.
The Beria family intends to expand the Wild Willow City market. Victor greeted Judy in advance and asked to win one-seventh of the new shops to ensure that the proportion of Randal Family’s shops in Wild Willow City remains unchanged .
Today's Wild Willow City has convenient transportation, developed trade, abundant supplies and dense population. The Beria family relied on the commerce and trade of Wild Willow City, sitting on the ground to share the fertilizer, and earning a lot of money. The Beria family can have the current situation, Victor dare not say that it is all his own credit, he is also the main behind the scenes.
Jillian suddenly said that the shops in the new Wild Willow City market do not have the Randal Family share. After Victor listened, he was both frightened and angry and suspicious.
Beria’s father and mother fought for power, why didn’t Judy inform me?
Victor first suspected that he was betrayed by Judy, and then guessed that Judy might be held hostage, involuntarily.
Send Gillian away. On the night Victor returned to Flatlake Town, he immediately recalled the old John who was responsible for the shops and gangs in Wild Willow City and asked about the status of Wild Willow City. Old John said that Wild Willow City is calm and tranquil, there is nothing unusual.
Victor was still worried. On the second day of the night, he dispatched a 500-man mercenary battallion to approach the border guards led by Randal and Beria, and he took 30 guards to visit Judy secretly. Father-Lord of Jinxi Town, Baron Matthew Beria.
Baron showed great enthusiasm for Victor's sudden visit. He talked around for a long time, hoping that Victor could persuade Mrs. Judy to change her mind and don't trust outsiders.
Victor understands, everything is as he expected, Baron Matthew is in the Beria family's power, Judy and his mother began to consider the issue of balance, and promote Primo’s cousin to serve as the Sheriff of the Territory , To limit the power of the mother clan. Although Baron Matthew repeatedly emphasized that Judy was bewitched by others, he denied that Judy's mother and son had lost their freedom.
Victor did not make a clear statement, but invited Judy to be a guest at Silvermoon Manor.
Two days later, Mrs. Judy happily attended the appointment. Under Victor's forced questioning, she cried out the whole story.
It turned out that Baron Matthew's recent eating photos were too ugly, and he was caught. Little Primo took advantage of his uncle James’s leadership of the family soldiers to participate in the Murloc War. In front of Judy, he took out the account books and openly accused the grandfather’s family of embezzling Wild Willow City’s tax revenue, and demanded that his church Uncle serves as the sheriff of Wild Willow City.
The evidence of Baron Matthew's greed of the wealth of the ink lord is solid, and Judy has nothing to say, so she has to order her parents to leave Wild Willow City and return to Jinxi Town.
Judy told Victor that she was in a dilemma between her son and parents. Take this opportunity to hit Baron Matthew. But this is a scandal of the Beria family after all, there is no need to spread it around.
As for the new shops expanded in Wild Willow City, Judy made it clear that she absolutely safeguards the interests of the Randal Family, and Victor keeps the best shops.
Is it really that simple?
Victor believes that Judy has not lied, and she has no ability to deceive Victor. Count Chebman didn't lie either, he didn't need to make such a joke with Victor.
Then what is the purpose of Count Chebman asking Gillian to speak? Why did he say that there are no Randal Family shops in the new market in Wild Willow City?
Count Chebman's status is different from Judy's status as different as heaven and earth. Judy doesn't necessarily know what he knows, even the internal affairs of Wild Willow City.
The two factions of the Beria family have been grieving for a long time, and it seems logical that they will rush to each other, but without the promotion of external forces, the balance of Wild Willow City will not change easily. Since Judy and Baron Matthew are both kept in the dark, it means that Primo’s father is holding a very thick thigh.
In Gambis Kingdom, the only forces that can make Count Chebman fearful are the royal family and a few dukes. The royal family can first be ruled out. Count Chebman and Yubao are very close. Duke York and the Duke of Wellington have properties in Wild Willow City, and they also do not want outsiders to share the commercial dividends of Wild Willow City. Then only Duke Nimes and Duke Joshua are left. Any one of them sticking its tentacles into Wild Willow City will arouse Count Chebman's vigilance. Because Wild Willow City is too close to Copper City. That is the territory Count Chebman desires.
The question is, Duke Nimes or Duke Joshua wants to get involved in the Wild Willow City trade, why not greet Flatlake Town first?
The matter is already very clear. They hide from Mrs. Judy and secretly support Primo’s father to fight for power is a temptation against Victor. If Victor fails to take effective measures, Judy will definitely be expelled from the Beria family.
However, Victor does not have the energy to deal with Wild Willow City. The timing of their action coincided with the beginning of the Murloc War.
The Murloc War in Centaur Hills has begun. The performance of the mercenary soldiers of the Randal Family on the battlefield can only be described as terrible!
The battered Victor said nothing. He sent Judy away and rushed directly to the main battlefield where Legion was hired.
*********************
In January of the Fire Season, the weather is getting hotter. The scorching sun bake the earth, and the water level of the Jinshui River drops, exposing large areas of dried mudflats. Hundreds of murlocs grabbed the dead bodies of the same species on the tidal flat, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
On the other side of the tidal flat, the craftsmen of Randal Family used Juma and arrow towers to enclose a Safety Sector. Hundred-men Commander Arda is in the Safety Sector, shouting at a group of mercenary soldiers with black cloth straps tied to their left arms:
"I have the same equipment as you, hard leather armor, no murlocs! Shields, no murlocs! Helmets, no murlocs! One-handed iron essence spears, no murlocs! Boots, hard leather hand armors, hard leather leg armors... none of these, murlocs! They only have one body that cannot stop iron essence The scales of the spear, the teeth that can't bite hard leather armor, the ridiculous brain and the short stature! A warrior can deal with 3 murlocs at the same time, it will not be more difficult than killing 3 big fish."
Arda pointed to the arrow tower and shouted: "I see... this is the arrow tower. What we have to do is simple, go to the beach and kill the murlocs, then retreat to the arrow tower’s range to rest, and then Kill the murlocs, and then return to rest... Isn’t it simple? Someone can’t do it well for such a simple thing! Or some people shrink back and kill their brother!"
Hundred-men Commander two Eyes are red, and his face looks sinister and angrily roared: "I'm talking about you group of black belts! You are as weak as maggots in a dung pit, and as disgusting as an abscess on a cow's butt... Bah!"
Alda spit on the ground, pacing murderous-looking back and forth in front of the deserter, said with a sneer: "Do you know why I picked you guys to join my team? Because killing you is better than killing fish. People need to be simple! If you dare to escape, I will kill you all from behind like a rabbit, and then my platoon can go back and rest!"
Alda chooses people who want to eat. The eyes made the "black belts" pale and trembling.
"Fortunately, you met the benevolent Randal master. Even if you are killed by me, the master will keep your reputation and let you be buried in the family cemetery, giving your family ten acres of land! I said, you cowards simply don’t deserve to be treated like this!"
Alda pulled out a soldier with a red ribbon on his arm and shouted: "He was just like you yesterday. , Tied with a black belt, today, he has put on a red belt!"
"Soldier, tell this group of gangsters, how did you take off the black belt?"
" Following the order, the black belt rushed to the Murloc and finally returned. As long as he didn't betray his comrades, he could take off the black belt!" The soldier straightened his chest and replied loudly. He paused and said with a smile: "If you are killed by a murloc, you can also take off the black belt."
"That's right! Whether you are dead or alive, you can take it off as long as you are brave. Black belt." Arda laughed, slapped the soldier on the shoulder, and shouted: "Warrior, tell this poor group of bugs, how did you wear the red belt?"
"I killed 6 yesterday Murloc, Corps Head personally tied the red belt for me, and rewarded me with a silver Thor!" said the soldier proudly.
"Have you heard? Kill 5 fish, and then you will be eligible to wear a red ribbon! Every fish slaughtered will get 5 copper sol rewards! Copper cables are everywhere on the river beach Well, just waiting for everyone to pick it up!"
Some of the people in the "black belt" started to light up their eyes, be eager to have a try.
Alda's voice became hoarse, he untied his water bag, raised his head and took a few sips, wiped his mouth, and cursed in a low voice: "Speaking to these idiots is more tiring than killing murlocs. "He paused, and continued to shout: "The brave person takes off the black belt, and the brave and wise person wears the red belt. What is wisdom? Trust your comrades in arms, protect your comrades in arms, rely on your comrades in arms, and learn from them. Use everything! Do you understand?"
"Listen!"
"Go!"
Alda puts on the helmet and picks it up A shield and a one-handed halberd led 90 soldiers to cross the security line and head towards the tidal flat position. Two other Hundred Men Squad that were ready also followed. All the "black belts" form a combat formation and are at the forefront of the team.
When the murlocs on the tidal flat saw the intruder, they screamed and rushed over. The two sides collided and killed each other, and the blood of the murlocs soon stained the river beach. As the mercenary soldiers got closer, more murlocs popped up in the river, and the battle became anxious. The "black belt" acting as the commando team began to suffer casualties. Those who turned and fled were all caught by three Hundred-men. Commander and their guards beheaded mercilessly.
On the arrow tower of the camp, Nelson dual wielded two adamantine battle axes, looking at the battle below, happily said with a smile: "Seeing those'black belts' were killed, I I feel comfortable! The coward who killed his comrades is good!"
"It's better than ten days ago."
Nicole, wearing a fine gold armor, turned his gaze to her side. Victor took a look, said with a smile: "My dear, you still have a way."
The strength, intelligence, equipment, martial skill, and organization of hiring soldiers are better than murlocs. , But the timidity and incompetence of the recruits are also unexpected.
The murloc will not run out of the tidal flat, and the murloc war does not aim at destroying the Human Race group of fish. The human army is in full control of the intensity and frequency of the battle. Logically speaking, 500 hired soldiers are enough to control a river beach and fight with murlocs. The actual situation is that when the mercenary soldiers saw densely packed murlocs rushing ashore from the river, they collapsed on the spot. They will not even how to escape. How could deserters who pushed each other and huddled together could run across the river beach murlocs?
The murlocs have always been more mad as they win, and become more mad. A battallion of 500 people died, and all the officers and alchemy assistants above the Hundred-men Commander were killed. Nicole and Nelson had to take action personally to kill the murlocs who were pursuing them.
The rules of a mercenary: flee before the battle, cut it for the crime!
How to cut it? If you really want to be cut, the battle of 500 people will have to die, and the mercenary of more than 3,000 people will be finished immediately. Don't cut... even worse!
The first thing Victor did when he rushed to the river beach position was to take the deserters out, tie them with a black cloth belt, and weave them into the platoon of the other hundred people, forcing them to act as cannon fodder. Hiring Legion has gone through several fierce battles, the deserters are almost dead, and the people who survive have changed.
Ten days of war, Legion hired more than 400 casualties, of which more than 200 were deserters who were beheaded by officers. This number is quite amazing, but in every battle, it seems insignificant. By the tenth day, the morale of the army hiring Legion was finally stabilized, the combat effectiveness was greatly improved, and the number of casualties per day was controlled within a dozen people.
Victor shot a ferocious murloc 800 meters away, put down his longbow and said, "This murloc war will last at least 5 or 6 years... So far, it has been the sacrifice of hiring Legion. I’ve spent more than 4,000 Kinsoul’s and nearly 4,000 acres of closed land." Nelson lowered his head, whispered: "If you want me to say, those deserters don’t deserve a pension..."
"Thanks! Of course you need to pay...Fengtian is still my land, and the pension will still flow into the family's treasure house. Hiring Legion is no longer the mercenary before." Victor looked bravely. The mercenary soldier who killed the enemy, said with a smile: "Bring all the mercenary soldiers over and let them take turns to battle."
Nicole moved in his heart and asked softly: "My dear, you have to go. Is it?"
"en." Victor nodded said: "Last night, Pastor Dane of the Flatlake Town Church sent someone to show me the letter from the priest in Wild Willow City. I already know that it is Duke Nimes and Duke Joshua have teamed up to plot against our Randal Family... I am going to visit Rose Manor and talk to Sylvia about this."
Nicole said anxiously: "Madam does not remind you, there must be Where she is embarrassed..."
As he was talking, the one-eyed person Gru climbed up the arrow tower, saluted Victor and Nicole, gasping for breath and said: "My lord, Pastor Dane sent someone to send a message. , Master Miller heard about the'black belt', and he wants to come to you to settle the account... Pastor Dane can't stop Miller, he lets you figure out a solution by yourself."
Nelson complexion greatly changed and said quickly: "My lord, don't let Father Miller come over!"
Victor chuckled twice, turned his head and said to Nicole: "I'm going back first... what should you do, How to do it! Anyway, those people are vassals and soldiers who died in battle."
