Xingyue, another world recasts the glory of human nature

But the man gave the order - build a stove and light a fire, raise the smoke, but don't actually cook, form a carriage formation, leave people to guard the formation, and the rest are ready for battle.

The earth stoves were piled up, and a little smoke rose. Just as the smoke drifted into the orange-gold sky, soon, the sound of galloping horses came from the side of the camp.

A team of about a hundred people appeared in sight.

The leader of this team was wearing iron armor, and most of the rest were wearing leather armor. Some were in addition to the leather armor. A single arm also had an iron shoulder pad. It looked like this team was in a mess in the morning.

Although it was very chaotic, the momentum was very strong.

The leader, under the half-open helmet, had a greedy expression on his face, and he was constantly encouraging his subordinates behind him.

"This caravan is definitely a big fish. They are returning from selling goods to the north. There must be a lot of gold and silver on the car."

"As long as this job is completed smoothly, I will treat everyone to a delicious meal in Wind Eagle City."

After hearing the leader's encouragement, the bandits became even more enthusiastic.

The leader was very satisfied with the 'morale' of the team, but what he was thinking was different from what he said.According to the information he got, if he could successfully capture this caravan, the wealth he would gain would be enough for him to bribe the nobles, get rid of his sins, buy a knighthood, and become a knight master.

If you are lucky enough to marry a young lady from a run-down noble family, then you will be able to turn over.

Thinking of this, the leader's horse's charging speed became faster.

But what awaited them was a dense rain of arrows.

On the hillside, the caravan members formed an array and flicked the springs of the crossbows in their hands.

The arrow flew and instantly fell into the bandit team.

The bandits who were at the forefront fell down in rows. When the bandit leader saw a figure appearing on the hillside, he suddenly felt bad and lay down on his horse to hide on the side.

As the reins tightened, and when the mount came to an emergency stop, the bandit leader jumped off his horse and rolled over, only to avoid being shot into a sieve like those unlucky ones.

"This kind of crossbow arrow..."

The bandit leader did not lament his remaining life. He looked at the hillside a hundred steps away, his eyes widening.

The sudden rain of arrows gave the still-running team a pause.

However, the second round of arrows has already been rained down.

At this time, it was too late for the bandit in front to turn his horse around.More than ten corpses were lying in the wilderness.

The bandit leader is still alive.

In fact, after the first round of arrows ended, he understood what was going to happen.Therefore, he desperately crawled towards the dead body and dragged the dead body in front of him as a shield.

The sound of breaking through the air can be clearly heard even here, and the screams of the subordinates are endless.

The bandit leader was filled with fear.

This kind of counterattack and defense method is not something that just a caravan can do.

This is exactly what the army does, and weapons like crossbows are not something that ordinary armies can equip.Most still use long bows.

The sound of breaking through the air stopped at the same time, and then turned into the sound of horse hooves.

The rhythm of the horses' hooves is very smooth, which is in sharp contrast to the bandits' team that is now completely in chaos.

As the hooves of horses galloped by, there was another scream.

There was no cry of killing, the guys who were killing the bandits were just silently carrying out the process of killing the enemy.

This represents extremely strong discipline, which is not even something a mercenary group can possess.

The people who made up this caravan were not just ordinary merchants, they were clearly well-trained professional soldiers.

The bandit leader lay on the ground pretending to be dead.

He knew he was stuck here today.

He regretted in his heart, being so blinded by wealth, why he didn't carefully explore the details of this caravan.

But what's the use of thinking about it now.

He just hoped that he could hide this army disguised as a convoy and escape from here under the cover of night.

But then, the footsteps around him destroyed his hope.

There was the sound of spears or swords being stabbed into the corpse, as these guys were finishing their blows.This is a serious military method of cleaning the battlefield.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer to him. The bandit leader gritted his teeth. As he approached, he suddenly raised his voice and slashed with his sword.

However, the merchant in front of him subconsciously raised the sword in his hand and blocked it.

Then, without any pause or hesitation, the surrounding comrades plunged their weapons into the bandit leader's body.

"Lord Dam, all of them have been wiped out..."

A man dressed as a businessman came to the caravan leader to report.

Dam's expression didn't change at all, he just nodded slightly.

"This seems to be the leader of this group of thieves."

The subordinate also held a head in his hand.

"Just throw it away...the head of such a small character has little value."

Dam opened his mouth and said:

"Moreover, we, serious businessmen, have to change our habit of taking human heads as military merit."

Chapter 181 The journey home

The bodies of the robbers were collected and burned on the spot.

The caravan members acted as if nothing had happened. After wiping and maintaining the blades, they returned to the camp to continue making fire and cooking.

The next day, the caravan continued on the road, and encountered two more bandit attacks before reaching the next supply town.

Once, they were directly wiped out by the caravan, and the other time, they were just repelled.

The second time the bandits were obviously more powerful, and the caravan also suffered several casualties.

The corpses of those who died in battle were cremated and their ashes collected. After returning to the kingdom, they were buried in the public cemetery of the city-state to which they belonged and accepted offerings.

"With this kind of environment, it's no wonder that the northern territory of the Kingdom of Mitland is so poor."

Riding on the horse, Dam looked at the people around him and sighed.

The personnel of this caravan are not all composed of former professional soldiers in the army, but there are also some real businessmen and clerical workers.

The second in command of this caravan, Urs is a serious businessman, responsible for various matters such as purchasing and sales.

Hearing Dam complaining to himself, Urs nodded:

"You are right...Whether a trade route can be established does have a lot to do with the environment."

Whether the road is easy to travel, whether there will be any obstacles along the way, and what the commercial tax level is at the place of sale.

The first two are not very good, and there are no roads connecting the two larger town strongholds at all.But there are a lot of gangsters along the way.

"But at least it has great potential... In terms of profits, if the special products and materials from the north are sold to the south, the profit can reach [-]%."

"And the nobles of the Northern Territory are very satisfied with this transaction. After tasting the benefits, they can discuss the suppression of bandits with the local lords next time they come here."

"If this trade route can really be completely established, it will be considered a great achievement after returning to the Chamber of Commerce."

"A great achievement..."

Hearing what Urs said, Dam murmured.

"If you want to make great achievements, you still have to look at war."

Slaver's Bay... should be called Humanity Bay now.

Just one year after the completion of Humanity Bay, due to trade and other reasons, the forces on the mainland extended their hands into Slaver's Bay, which triggered a war.

That war deservedly won under the command of many heroes.Because of that war, a group of military nobles were born.

However, after that, the war was used to tell the various countries in the mainland about the existence of the United Humanity. For a while, the war did not happen again, and it turned into continued development.

Some soldiers were properly arranged into various industries, such as the Humanities and Humanities Joint Chamber of Commerce established for foreign trade, which absorbed many urban civilized soldiers.Dam came from Camelot, Urs from Rome.

"That's what you warriors think..."

Urs shook his head.

Although they belong to two different civilizations, human principles connect them all.The relationship between the two is very good.

"The war's impact on business was huge... Prosperous commerce is based on a relatively stable environment."

"only...."

Urs sighed again.

In ancient times, in addition to selling and purchasing goods, caravans also had the function of collecting information and intelligence.After all, caravans were the group with the widest range of activities in the relatively backward ancient times.

This time when they came to the north of the Kingdom of Mitland, Urs and Dam were recording what they saw and heard along the way.These notes will be recovered after arriving at the Chamber of Commerce stronghold.

Then through sorting and screening, they are sent to several departments within the kingdom.

The end point of this trade route has been to the border market of the Kusha Empire.

The information collected can infer the occurrence of certain events from the side.

Dam's sudden emotion was not without purpose, because he also felt something from this business trip.

"The Kusha Empire is going to launch a war...I saw this from the intelligence we collected."

The United Chamber of Commerce now has three strongholds.

One stronghold is the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce, located in Xi'an City.

The second one is the royal capital of the Kingdom of Midland.

The third one is in the imperial capital of the Kusha Empire.

Relying on various items that are not available on the mainland and are loved by many nobles, the United Chamber of Commerce has opened up the joints.Except for the distant Kingdom of Yoda, all of them have established strongholds.

"We were able to collect this information, so the Kuxia branch must have more detailed intelligence."

"The Kusha Empire has pacified many tribes to the west and completed complete unification."

"The fearful emperor has been silent for five years. If he uses weapons again, he will definitely target the three countries to the east."

"And the Kusha Empire has a very powerful navy. I'm afraid the kingdom will also be affected."

Dam opened his mouth and said: "When the time comes, if our Lord, our King issues a recruitment order to recruit us people, I will definitely respond."

The Kusha Empire rested for five years and accumulated huge strength, but so did the United Kingdom of Humanity.

With the support of the essence of the entire human civilization in Xingyue, the changes in the kingdom can be said to be rapid.

This time the caravan has been traveling for more than half a year, and the members of the caravan are also looking forward to seeing what astonishing changes will take place there when they return to the promised land, their home in this world.

With this thought, the caravan entered the town for a short supply and rest.

Time came to April, and after more than half a month of trekking, the caravan finally returned to the place where the trip started, the political and cultural center of the Kingdom of Midland, the fortress city of Wendam.

The city wall of Wendam is made of thick granite stones. The wall is 15 meters high and has many towers built on it, like a giant fortress.

The Kingdom of Mitlan has a history of 500 years since its founding, and has experienced dozens of generations of kings.It encountered some crises, such as enemy rebels approaching the city, but this majestic city never fell.

This city can be said to have been built with the efforts of several generations of people in Mitlan over 500 years. It can accommodate more than [-] people living in the city.

After paying the entry fee, the caravan successfully entered the city.

Although the logo of the United Chamber of Commerce for Humanities and Humanities is not too prominent in the north, it is still very visible in the southeast.

The chamber of commerce is located at the entrance of a bustling commercial street.

Since people had been sent to the station to notify the situation in advance, members of the chamber of commerce came to take over the goods early.Everyone in the caravan just needs to go directly to the station to report.

Chapter 182 The journey home

The president of the branch of the United Chamber of Commerce in the Kingdom of Midland is from the same hometown as Urs and is a Roman named Dalvi.

When Dam and Urs went to the branch hall to report their trip to the Dalvi branch president, the servants received them.Inform the branch president that he is receiving distinguished guests and they need to wait for a moment.

The overall architectural style of the branch hall is more Romanesque and features large cylindrical eaves.The branch hall is a place that reflects the strength of the kingdom and the chamber of commerce, so it is built very luxuriously.Various expensive handmade products are placed in the hall.

Servants brought snacks and fruits, but there was no alcohol. After all, neither of them had finished their work yet.
