Before ascending to God, be a good lord

Chapter 688. 685. The Problem of Hindukel

At noon on October 10th, Hornier Benma met Vianis Oak again. Compared with the previous meeting every half a month, the two of them have been in close contact recently.

In the forest, the elf who had just met Hornier asked with concern: "You don't have a tail behind you, do you? Recently, there are werewolf troops near Inumori Castle."

"They?" Hornier sneered upon hearing this, "If they know that I'm here to buy herbs from you, I'm afraid they will escort me here."

"Huh?" Vianis couldn't believe it, "How did I hear that the orcs and the humans in the Iowa Valley just fought two battles? It hasn't reached the point of running out of ammunition and food!"

"Indeed, but the bad thing is not the front line, but the rear." The female knight shook her head, her face so ugly, "The preparations of the Beast King's Court have exceeded everyone's imagination. , Hindukel is finished.”

Two months ago in the morning, after the local Ratmen took the order from the royal court, many chambers of commerce in Hindu Kell received large trade orders, such as food, potions, ores, and magic pattern products. The demand for materials has contributed to the illusory commodity prosperity. In order to pursue these orders, various tribes rushed to agree on large breach of contract clauses in the contract, and even borrowed money from the Temple of Fortune and the Wangting tribe to raise supplies.

"However, more and more Royal Court troops are occupying various traffic arteries in Hindukel. They exploited the merchants and forcibly bought a large number of important materials at extremely low prices," Jenny said with a bitter face.

"Aren't they too greedy?" The elves were a little inconceivable about the profit-seeking of the merchants, "But if the contract cannot be delivered due to the war, can the buyer and the seller understand each other?"

"It's not just a contract issue. The chamber of commerce has already exchanged all the funds in hand for materials for these contracts. Now the workshop has no money to buy raw materials, and the materials of the merchants can't get out of the warehouse. The goods and gold coins of the caravan have been detained on the road," The more Hornier said, the more powerless he became, "Blocking the merchant's warehouse, blocking the trade route, and forcing the buyer to sell, the royal court probably had already thought about it a few months ago, to strangle the entire basin to death."

Now the elf is also silent. In her eyes, the local orc tribes are just oppressors who have hatred against her. However, what she lives on is precisely the supplies from these local orcs.

Honey, who had been silent for a long time, raised his head and confessed to the elf: "I came to you this time, just to ask you if there are any magic plants here. I want to buy as much as possible. For food, I brought two rings Yes, I'm afraid it may not be certain when I will come again next time."

"Uh...Actually, I brought you a person this time." The elf looked back at the bushes not far away, "You know this person..."

"Cousin Hornier, we haven't seen each other for a long time!" Jenny came out in a timely manner and looked at Honey with a smile, "I heard that the local orcs are in some trouble. Coincidentally, I recently established a chamber of commerce. And we have found a local transportation channel, which can help local chambers of commerce and tribes get through this difficult time."

Hornier looked at Jenny, then at the elf Vianis, and couldn't imagine how these two people got together, but what was even more bizarre than their acquaintance was that Jenny Benma actually said that she had a complete family in the local area. of transportation channels.

"You? Channel? In Hindukel?"

Rather than questioning Jenny, Hornier's question was more about making sure he had heard correctly.

Jenny smiled and nodded: "That's right, my channel has been activated, and the first batch of potions ordered by Master Rousseff will probably arrive this afternoon!"

"Today?" Hornier, who just met Rousseff the day before yesterday, had disbelief written all over his face.

……

When Jenny and Vianis returned to Xingba Castle, they saw all kinds of carriages parked in the courtyard, knights and flame priests coming in and out, all kinds of ordnance and weapons were neatly stacked, and the demonless people led More than a dozen pack animals entered one after another.

Looking at the busy scene in front of them, both of them knew that a war was about to happen. When they entered the basement level of the deputy castle, which was outside the command room dedicated to the army of Yeqi City, they heard the voice of the magic-striped tiger.

"Rand, I think my son should miss me very much now. I should hurry back and see him. I'm really worried about handing over such a poor little boy to those orcs!"

Lante did not respond to the magic pattern tiger's words, but simply asked: "Isn't it good to eat here?"

"It's okay, but you also know that this big forest is humid and there are few monsters, which is very unfavorable for me to break through. I think if I can break through as soon as possible, it will be good for the entire territory!"

The girls quietly entered the command room, and saw the huge magic-striped tiger lying on the ground, constantly rubbing Rand with its big head, all kinds of coquettish states could not tell that it was a fierce beast.

Seeing that the two girls came back, Lante was about to end today's cat stroking, and said to the tiger with a smile, "I've been staying here for the past two days. When I go back, can you come with me?"

When the tiger heard this, he quickly sat up, barely touching the roof with his tall head, "Then it's a deal, you won't go back on your word!"

The magic-striped tiger who got the time to go home excitedly left the command room and ran to the restaurant to cook. Jenny waited until she ran away before asking Rand in a low voice: "My lord, you let the magic-striped tiger leave like this. Who will come after that?" To protect Vianis?"

"Soon there will be hundreds of cavalry stationed in this camp." Rant looked at Jenny and said with a smile, "Also, the intermediate Hammer Willow Hoover will be here soon, and he will be the guardian tree of Vianis. As for the mounts , I'll find her later."

The girl knew that there must be a war when she heard that Lante's arrangement was so perfect, so she hurriedly asked, "You don't plan to let us lead hundreds of cavalry to charge, do you?"

"Of course not, but we really need to rely on the name of the No. [-] gang in Hindukel!" Rand said with a smile.

"Huh?" Vianis frowned when she heard that, "You know how strong my people are, they can barely survive in the forest, but once they leave the forest, they won't be able to fight the orc army head-on! "

Lante smiled and said: "Don't worry, confront the orcs head-on, with my army, what you have to do is to help Jiaolang fight against the royal court."

According to the information collected in the past few days, the orc king's court is trying to coerce the local orcs into the king's court's vassals through military and economic means. Rand's plan is to make Vianis' team cooperate with the local strength on the surface. In fact, it stirs and detonates the contradictions between the two sides.

When she heard that she was going to help the local orcs, especially the Scorched Wolf Clan, Vianis' face suddenly darkened, "Rand, do I have to cooperate with those dogs?"

"It's not cooperating with Jiaolang, but fighting against the royal court!" Lante showed a sly smile, which made the elf in front of him feel a little scary.
