Chapter 153: The History of King's Port

As the saying goes, "come without being rude", the shameless behavior of the people from King's Harbor made Xue Hua feel deeply angry.

And what made him even more incredible was that the reason why Ron and the others targeted Camp Rogge was actually just because Camp Rogge refused to dump fragrant fruits into the camp a few years ago?

Xue Hua had been in Camp Rog for a short time, so of course he knew that Camp Rog was self-sufficient in almost everything.

Three holy wells irrigate the massive farmland at the rear of the camp, and a kind of fragrant fruit seedlings grown in the mountains is enough to supply the entire camp for fragrant fruits.

In Xue Hua's impression, the fragrant fruit of the alpine species is not as sweet as the ordinary fragrant fruit, but it has a trace of clear and slightly bitter, and the taste is more like the coffee that Xue Hua drank in his previous life.

This habit has not changed until now.

Known for its high-yield, high-quality citrus trade, King's Harbour was not an independent kingdom but a city in Westmar before the Demon Invasion, and the terrain around the city was gentle and mild, making it ideal for large-scale cultivation of fragrant fruit.

In addition, the sea trade in King's Port is very developed, so the fragrant fruit here is also exported to all over the world by ship.

Because of its sweet taste and easier boiling, it is widely loved by people all over the world.

As a result, King's Harbor began to rapidly become rich, and the huge daily trade volume brought large quantities of gold coins into the pockets of the lords and nobles of the area.

However, because King's Harbor was only a city in the Kingdom of Westmar at that time, fifty percent of their income had to be paid to the Kingdom of Westmar as taxes.

Frankly, this tax is quite high, but at the cost of paying such a high tax, Westmar's royal family also gave King's Port full trade autonomy.

They were able to decide who to trade with without asking the Westmar royal family, which was quite an advantage for a commercial city.

However, businessmen are all profit-seeking, and they are all insatiable.

The combination of aristocracy + businessman maximizes this greed.

Ever since the Fragrant Fruit Trade brought tens of thousands of gold coins to these nobles and merchants every day, the local lords and other noble merchants had been plotting to separate King's Harbor from Westmar's rule.

Before the demon invasion, they had not found a chance, and Westmar, as a traditionally powerful knightly kingdom, was not to be messed with by the Templars in the country.

But after the demonic invasion began, the lords of King's Harbor finally saw an opportunity to break away from Westmar's rule.

Especially after Tristram was completely defeated by demons, the Westmar Templars, who were busy extinguishing the flames of demonic invasion burning everywhere in the country, no longer had time to trouble King's Harbor.

King's Port declared its independence and sent troops to include the neighboring city of Duncre.

The betrayal of King's Harbor has made the Westhorse royal family angry, but in the era when the demonic invasion is becoming more and more intense, the Westhorse royal family has no way to pay attention to the treachery of King's Harbor.

Therefore, they could only choose to turn a blind eye for the time being, and decided to focus on solving the demonic invasion in the country first.

What they did not expect, however, was that their neglect of the independence of King's Harbour was interpreted by the other city-states in Westmar as "laissez-faire".

As a result, many ambitious city-state lords also began to declare independence, and Westmar, the former huge overlord of the Western Realm, fell into a state of fragmentation.

Fortunately, Branwell, known as the "City of Knights", the training ground of the Templars and the signatory of the Holy Declaration, has always adhered to the old dogma, and the lords of the city have continued to support the crumbling kingdom of Westmar under great pressure despite the rebellion of all the lords.

With the help of the knights, Westhorse finally managed to survive the end of the demonic invasion, but by this time, the entire territory of Westhorse had shrunk to less than half of its original size.

The country's economy was even more desolate, and the entire kingdom was in a state of ruin.

Therefore, although the king of Westmar at that time hated King's Harbor, who was the first to rebel, and even privately changed the name of King's Harbor on the map to "Traitor's Harbor", he still had no good way to take King's Harbor.

And it was just when Westmar was in desperate need of material assistance to restore the domestic economic system that a dramatic scene emerged.

Emissaries from King's Harbor appeared outside Westmar with large quantities of supplies and demanded to meet the King of Westmar.

The King of Westmar, though very, very reluctant, finally agreed to the request of the King's Harbor Emissary for a meeting at the persuasion of the knight lord of Branwell.

The two sides closed the door and talked in the palace study for a whole day and night, and when the door was opened again, the smug face of the messenger of King's Port was the first to appear before everyone.

Behind him was His Majesty the King of Westmar, but the look on his face at that time was diametrically opposed to that of the King's Harbor Emissary, a completely dejected and pale expression.

Three days after the talks, King's Port began to send a large number of supplies to Westmar, and the Kingdom of Westhorse never mentioned the return of King's Port and Dunclave to its territory.

Seeing this, Xue Hua gently closed the "Tale of the Western Realms" in his hand, and a cold smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth.

By economic means, small and big?

Why can I buy everything with money?

If you are not allowed to sell fragrant fruit, you will take such vicious revenge?

If it weren't for Xue Hua's insect swarm, the Rogers would have to suffer heavy losses this time!

The lives of your men are fate, aren't the lives of the Rogges fate?

If you really let your plot succeed, how should he explain it to the two little girls at that time?

Xue Hua handed the book back to Kane in front of him, and then stood up and stretched his waist fiercely under his somewhat worried gaze.

"Xue... I know you and Camp Rog have a deep relationship, and so do I, but at the end of the day, the pros at King's Harbour are not wrong, they just do what they are told, so ......"

Kane finally couldn't help but plead with Xue Hua, in fact, he was not the kind of rotten good person of the Holy Mother White Lotus, but he knew that with the power that Xue Hua now held in his hands, once he really started a fire, even if he couldn't directly kill the people of King's Harbor considering the Holy Covenant Treaty, he only needed to use a little bit of tactics on the battlefield, which was enough to send all the troops of King's Harbor into the land of no return.

You must know that even if the human reinforcements have arrived, the swarm that has an absolute advantage in numbers and is still increasing is still the absolute main force to attack Cui Vanke, and Kane, who has seen Zagara's tactical command ability, has never doubted that Xue Hua's subordinates have the ability to completely kill the King's Harbor troops, so he can only try to dispel the anger in Xue Hua's heart now, hoping that he will not do too much at that time.

"Don't worry, old man, I can still tell which is right and which is not, unless those guys continue to provoke me in the future, otherwise this time I will only let them return in vain at most, besides, this kind of thing is not even bothered to care about the Demon Fortress Council, but I care about him so much?"

With a faint sneer on his face, Xue Hua walked slowly towards the outside of the house, saying comforting words to Kane in his mouth.

But in fact, what he was thinking in his heart was something else entirely, and it was not at all as "gentle" as he said in his mouth.

"Humph! In vain? If you don't cry this time, labor and management will change their surname to Majerry! ”
