That's right, these businessmen really can't figure it out.

The main force of the rampant knight squires was completely wiped out in front of their eyes, and they were all turned into corpses all over the ground, and pathetic captives who were trampled on their dignity and wantonly beaten.

They didn't know that this was the mature tactical system of the Calradia continent.

A cavalry team consisting of a group of knightly squires.

When arrayed in a dense traditional stormtrooper formation, the attack effect is also maximum!

The kingdom of Svadia, for example, suffered such a loss.

Because this is the traditional tactics of Swadia's iron cavalry, which used to be almost invincible on the plains with infantry and crossbowmen, and destroyed all enemies invincible.

But on the Kugit steppe, it suffered a big loss.

Lightly armed Kugit archers were responsible for luring and striking and leaving the traditional cavalry scattered in pursuit.

And just when the formation could not be restored and had completely dispersed, the final attack came.

The Kugit rider in charge of the melee appeared.

Densely lined up in a traditional stormtroop formation, they easily defeated the already scattered cavalry team, and became the winner in this tactical game of chasing and being hunted, killing the individual cavalry that could not resist to pieces.

Even if there are cavalrymen who can escape, they can't escape the lightly dressed cavalry who are quick to shoot arrows.

Simply charging side-by-side in a side-by-side push mode is not entirely suitable for such a wide area.

What's more, these 600 knight squires are still arrogant.

It is even more doomed!

"Boys, tie them all up and put away the loot!"

Rolf shouted and told the desert bandits to jump off the desert horses, and used flax ropes to capture all the knightly squires who had thrown away their weapons and held their heads in their hands.

Countless weapons and armor were captured, and horses and dead bodies were gathered.

Weapons, armor, and living horses can be kept and sold.

As for the corpses of the dead horses, they could be used as rations for these captives in recent days, or smeared with table salt and made into air-dried meat in a cool place, which could be eaten as supplies.

Eating horse meat, in fact, does not have much psychological burden on them.

You can eat whatever you want alive.

The brutal battle situation on the continent of Calradia, this group of soldiers who have already been trained is as terrifying as a butcher.

Including treating those corpses that were turned into hedgehogs by short javelins, skewered into sugar gourds by spears, covered in blood, and extremely strong in the smell of blood, they were restrained without the slightest discomfort, and were casually placed in long rows and thrown aside.

As for his short javelin, this is a standard weapon that cannot be abandoned.

As long as it looks good, it is all pulled out of the corpse, wiped with a linen cloth at will, and put it back in the backpack.

As for the blood and the like, I don't care.

It's a big deal, go back and wash up.

Seeing that the battle situation was calm and the work of cleaning up the battlefield was also in charge of the desert bandits, after Rolf finished arranging, he returned with all the Salander riders, all in good spirits, looking like the spirit of the triumphant return.

They are indeed victors, this is simply irrefutable.

The entire post house was silent inside and outside.

It was as if they had disturbed Rolf and they would be severely punished.

The caravan guards and helpers who were still watching the battle situation in a panic and were ready to flee at any time now subconsciously stopped what they were doing and watched Rolf and their triumphant return with fear in their eyes.

This is a fear that did not exist in the first place.

Originally, they only had the fear that Rolf dared to kill people blatantly, and there was absolutely no fear of today!

The honor that comes with the victor.

Even on the top of the post station, there was already respect and surprise in the eyes of those merchants who were staring at all this, especially when they looked at Kant, thinking of the information they had heard, and their hearts were thoughtful.

They can see from the beginning to the end at the top of the station.

How to win, how to defeat the enemy, all see clearly.

At the same time, he subconsciously looked at the 10 Swadia royal knights who were still left beside Kant.

Turning his head to look at the stairwell again, the three blood-stained royal knights who were walking up with Rolf quickly swallowed and spit, and suddenly a humble and deferential smile appeared on their faces.

These people may be great knights who have mastered extraordinary powers.

Although it is guessed that it is impossible for everyone to grasp it, but the three people do grasp it, but it is certain!

They are nothing more than a bunch of businessmen.

is still the first to explore the way, and belongs to the businessman who is at the level of an abandoned child.

Now I can come here because of the close distance and the ability to react quickly, so I was sent by various nobles to trade with Kant, even if there is an accident, I will not feel distressed.

Therefore, they understand that their so-called backers are not so reliable.

To Kant, to Rolf, to these three transcendent knights, it is right to maintain the deepest deference.

This is their rule of survival.

It's just that these businessmen can't imagine that the 13 Swadia royal knights in front of them are really the great knights who have mastered extraordinary power, and they are the pinnacle of the great knight level, and even when Kant wants to, they can canonize more royal knights, which is more than the entire Lion Principality and the entire Silver Plate Principality combined!

Maybe they saw that the equipment of these royal knights was all standard plate armor, and they already had a little guess in their hearts, but this kind of guess would not be taken seriously, and they would just give up after going through it in their minds.

After all, 13 extraordinary knights are enough to influence the political situation of the Lion Principality.

If this Baron Kant really has.

Why should he be banished to the Naren Desert in such a miserable environment, when no salt mines were found!

They had a lot on their minds.

But the humility and deference on his face are even more intense.

Kant swayed the sugar water in the silver cup, still with his back to them, and said lightly: "It's over." ”

"Yes, it's over."

Rolf first reported: "The enemy lost 284 killed and 316 captured. ”

"Very well, what about our losses?" Kant asked.

"No one on our side was killed, only a few were seriously injured, and they can recover after treatment." Rolf replied.

"Hmm." Kant nodded.

The dialogue was terminated, and it was only a simple report on the results.

But the merchants behind him all subconsciously swallowed and spit, looked at each other, and their eyes were full of horror.

It's one thing to see, it's another thing to hear.

They saw Rolf crushing those knight squires in a devastating manner, but they didn't expect that they could easily win such a victory without even a dead cavalry, which was simply a big victory, an epic victory!

It simply doesn't fit their original views.

But that's what happened.

An epic victory is not enough, it can only be regarded as a big victory.

If it had been an epic victory, Kant would have received the honor and prestige he deserved.

After all, with the development of Kant, it will be more and more difficult to obtain an epic victory by winning more with less, unless it reaches tens of thousands of people, a large-scale corps battle of 100,000 people, and a cluster corps battle of millions of people, and after a big victory, it may be evaluated as an epic victory.

But at the moment, it's still a bit more difficult.

Of course Kant didn't care, as long as the victory was right, it was already a good result.

Turn slightly.

Kant finally turned around and looked at the merchants, who looked different but were obediently stooped.

A mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Everyone, what do you think of this banquet?" ”

The merchants looked at each other.

But then they all reacted.

"Lord Baron, you are really powerful, how can you be your opponent with those horse thieves!"

"This is a wonderful banquet, Lord Baron, and you make us admire it immensely!"

The merchants bent down and opened their mouths in praise.

But Kant sneered, and did not have the slightest interest in this kind of sycophancy, but looked at these merchants and said lightly: "Then next, should we continue to stipulate how to divide the salt trade in the future?" ”

"No, you don't! No, you don't! Lord Baron! It doesn't need to be! It's up to you! ”

"Lord Baron, you say it, we are just waiting for the assignment!"

These businessmen broke out in a cold sweat.

His face and back were soaked, and he trembled and bent over Kant incessantly.

Obviously, they also found that their objections at that time were now extremely ridiculous, especially Rolf, who had returned with the power of a great victory, was holding a scimitar and looking at them coldly, and he was even more timid in his heart.

"Huh." Kant chuckled, his face full of sarcasm.

But he didn't say much, waved his hand and arranged for Rolf: "100 large silver coins per bag of fine white salt, if you pay with a golden eagle, then according to the black market price, 150 large silver coins can be exchanged for 1 golden eagle, I don't want these merchants to think that I am a miser." ”

"Understand, who would have thought that Master Kant would be a miserly miser?" Rolf nodded, and at the same time looked at the merchants coldly, showing an almost hideous smile: "Do you say yes?" ”

"Yes, yes! Lord Baron is absolutely merciful! ”

The merchants bowed their heads and saluted, and the cold sweat on their faces couldn't stop dripping.

Occupying a passive position, they do not have the slightest right to refute.

Nor dare.

"Over to you, Rolf."

Kant led the royal knights directly down the stairs and returned to his room on the second floor.

When he left, the merchants dared to go downstairs to prepare the golden eagle and the big silver coin.

Rolf sat at the long table in the hall on the first floor, watching as the merchants dragged bags of large silver coins and golden eagles together, and more than 30 merchants easily divided the 400 bags of fine silver.

In order to show their deference, they also gave Kant several truckloads of supplies they brought with them for free.

It's all gadgets.

Iron tools, farm tools, furs and the like, not worth a few dollars.

Profit is equal to useless waste compared to table salt!

In fact, it is also the reason why these businessmen dare not continue to stay for a long time, after all, they have just experienced a cruel battle, and these businessmen have already been frightened, and they can go back to their own territory as soon as possible, and see the backers behind them, so that they can live comfortably.

Otherwise, if you encounter a gang of horse thieves or bandits bred by rival nobles, your life will be in danger.

It is the nature of a businessman to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Soon calm was restored to the central station.

The merchants all left, leaving only the desert bandits who had cleaned up the battlefield to return, and after a short rest, they continued to disperse into small groups of patrol cavalry to patrol the surrounding desert area.

It's just that the nobles behind those merchants are destined to not be calm.

Kant mastered such force.

Not at all what they expected! 10
