Chapter 2 The Chaotic Situation

PS. Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the "starting point" 515 fan festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote will also give the starting point coin, kneel and beg everyone to support and appreciate!

From Mr. Josephine's words, Barrett immediately understood the trickiness in this. He couldn't help but complain: "What are those big men in Ulrik thinking about now! It's not like before Lucia makes a move, and I'm going to take the knife from my former ally first!"

Although there are no eternal enemies and no eternal friends between countries, there are only eternal national interests. But a backstab, even a nominal ally, still bears considerable moral condemnation. The impact of such condemnation may be large or small, but it will certainly worsen the diplomatic environment of the Norhan Kingdom.

What's even more troublesome is that the Norhan Kingdom itself is founded on knights, and who knows how many knights will be shaken by such a move. One carelessness may cause heavy losses to the army that was originally hidden as the number one on the mainland. In that case, even if a piece of flesh is torn from the Cruze Kingdom, it may not be worth the loss.

At this time, of course, the best choice is to learn from the United States in World War I and World War II, and at the same time provide all kinds of war materials to the warring parties. In this way, it can take advantage of the bad luck of others to pass the country's troubles, not to mention that it can also establish a new network of connections to provide conditions for possible armed intervention in the future-according to Barrett, the kingdom of Lucia, which is already gearing up, will definitely not let go of such a great opportunity. When the time comes, the Norhan kingdom will not send troops in the back, but will establish a loyal image to help the alliance resist aggression.

Of course, if the Lucia Kingdom resisted its greed and let go of such a good opportunity to attack, it would instead focus on tearing up the border line with the Norhan Kingdom. It is true that the kingdom of Nohan will not be able to obtain the maximum benefits, but Nohan can also rely on trade to make a decent amount of money. What's more, is it still a hairy bear that can resist not stretching out its paws? Neither the Anlyuko family in the past nor the Pastfield family in the past could control the desire for land of the nobles in the country.

And now the strange attitude of the royal family of Nohan. But it's a bit confusing. Such an approach was obviously not in the overall interests of the Norhan Kingdom, and if it were not for the royal family's authority, perhaps the Boram Lords would have continued to send caravans to the Cruze territory in spite of this direction.

'The Garfield family is not trying to take this opportunity to suppress the local faction! If that's the case, then they're definitely in the ......' Barrett, who suddenly had this thought in his head, immediately became unsightly on his face.

"Don't worry! Even if there is no market in the Cruze Kingdom, it will not have any impact on the industries in the territory. You should know that you have just returned from the north. How much they need our goods here. Mr. Josephine, who noticed that Barrett had changed color and deteriorated, instinctively thought that Barrett was worried about the industry and commerce in the territory. So when I left, I spoke out and explained.

As he said, Boreham's willingness to back down on the royal family's order was somewhat related to the huge order of the Seven Cities Alliance. It is precisely because the war in the Northland has eaten up a lot of production capacity in the Boreham Territory that Lord Earl will temporarily give up the small profits of the Cruze Kingdom.

But even so, only the caravans directly under the Boreham Comptoir were restricted. Caravans belonging to other chambers of commerce will still be able to purchase from Boram and travel to the Kingdom of Cruze. Neither the Boreham Lords nor the other lords along the way paid much attention to these toiling 'porters'. It's just that the warring sides in the Cruze Kingdom will not be able to buy controlled weapons and equipment produced by Boreham in a short period of time.

Mr. Josephine's voice immediately interrupted Barrett's ramblings. He knew that he could only hide these thoughts in his head, and that Barrett, in his current capacity, could not afford to be charged with defamation of the royal family - of course, most of the time no one would care about such charges. For example, those who are popular in taverns insult the royal family, at most, they are ridiculed twice by the surrounding friends.

However, once someone wants to go online, they may not be looking for a breakthrough from a small person like Barrett in order to cause trouble for Lord Earl. An intermediate layer like him, whose strength and status are not high, is often the most suitable target. Therefore, it is necessary to behave more cautiously.

Therefore, after hearing Mr. Josephine's words, Barrett smiled and said, "Indeed, the order from the Seven Cities Alliance is enough for our territory to eat for the time being. But if the war over there ends. And the royal family's attitude towards the Cruze side has not changed, what to do. Will we just watch those gold coins run away in vain? ”

Although after the war in the Northlands is over, there will inevitably be a wave of reconstruction. Again, the trade in goods during this period is probably not much lower than in wartime. If you're lucky, you might be able to improve. But how can the profits of those construction tools and production tools be compared with the profiteering arms! For Boreham, which is now in full swing in the military industry, unless it is willing to suffer losses and change production. Otherwise, the search for a new market was inevitable - and the Kingdom of Cruze, which was also at war, became the most suitable target.

"I think the Earl will protest to the royal family by then! Since we have suffered for so long because of the royal order, they should have to compensate for it somewhat. At this, Mr. Josephine frowned and was still thinking about something, but his constipated expression was clearly blocked by his thoughts.

Barrett, who successfully integrated into the discussion, immediately expressed his opinion with his chin in his hand: "I want to be affected by the royal ban." It's not just us Boreham! Those lords in the south may still be able to maintain some small actions in private. But the lords in the center and north had no choice, let alone the new territories east of the Tesway Mountains. It's not easy to get a caravan under the eyes of the royal family. In the short term, the prestige of the royal family can still be suppressed, but it may be said after a long time. ”

It is important to know that wars are not only consumed with weapons, but also with horses, food, and other consumables. Even in terms of weapons, the Boreham family can't do it all. So it's not just Bolim who is staring at the big cake of Cruz in the Norhan Kingdom. Although now they are also able to transit through other comptoirs. But in this way, it is obvious that you want to enrich the benefits of others, and you will feel uncomfortable no matter what.

"That's it! on this issue. We also have a lot of natural allies. Sooner or later, the royal family will abandon this approach...... "Mr. Josephine immediately understood what he had just stuck. After all, he is only a grassroots cadre of immigrants, although he has broadened his horizons by relying on his status as a caravan leader, but his own thinking still has limitations - this is a very common imagination among the aborigines.

If it was just a temporary loss, everyone would have endured it for the sake of the royal family. If it is also a long time of bloodshed, the noble council of the kingdom is not an ornament. Therefore, if the royal family wants to beat the local real power, it still needs to pay attention to skills. Otherwise, it will only be self-defeating.

The two non-conformists were at this time engaged in friendly talks about the matter of Boreham. Although in their identity. Even if something pops up, it can only stay verbal - in a sense, it is very similar to the keyboard warriors on the Internet. But it's also a sign that they care about the state of their territory, at least much better than some of the indifferent and cynical ones.

After chatting, Barrett finally turned the topic back to his original purpose: "So, Mr. Josephine, what do you think is the most appropriate method for me and my companions to use if we want to enter the Cruze Kingdom as soon as possible?" ”

"Going to the Kingdom of Cruz? Didn't you just come back from the Northlands? Why haven't you enjoyed it yet? Mr. Josephine apparently didn't expect Barrett to end up with thatβ€”he apparently hadn't heard Barrett's conversation with the employee.

Barrett, who came here, had no choice but to show a helpless expression: "What can be done about this!" Our former teammates are now trapped in the Cruze Kingdom. Although it is still certain that he is alive for the time being, who knows what will happen next. So we're going to get him out before he's completely out of trouble. ”

"To rescue my companions? It's not easy in a war-torn place like Cruze. Mr. Josephine's expression became serious. However, after learning Barrett's purpose, he was a little more upbeat with the 'colleague' in front of him. After all, people who are willing to take risks to rescue their peers tend to be emotional. It's rare for such a friend to stab you in the back, so it's usually safe to make one. What's more, Barrett's behavior is in the current values of the Western Continent. But one is more noble and worth advocating.

Barrett nodded: "We know it's not easy, but if you don't give it a try, you won't be willing after all!" Is it no wonder that we are doing this and watching our companions disappear there? So we were going to follow the caravan of the Boreham Comptoir into the interior of the Cruze Kingdom. Next, search the place where he sent the message after going on the road alone. But for now, such a plan seems to be stillborn. I wonder if you have any suggestions, Mr. Josephine? ”

"Although our caravan is gone, the ranks of other merchant houses are still running. They will also welcome mercenary groups like you, who are both powerful and relatively reliable, to join. At this point, Mr. Josephine suddenly lowered his voice, "But I'd better choose none of them." After all, the targets of those caravans are relatively large, and if you go directly to the Cruze Kingdom like this, you will also fall into the eyes of the royal spies. Even low-level businessmen like me understand that this may be a reason for them to play on the topic. ”

Since the royal family has not decided which side to support as a reason. Trade between Norhan and Cruze is not allowed. Then the members of the local noble families openly went to the Cruze Kingdom, and that must have been a more serious time. Although Barrett is now strictly speaking. He is not a noble member of the Boreham family. But his esteemed performance can also be treated as a messenger. At that time, it is difficult to guarantee that the royal family will not take action.

"Do you want us to go on our own? The chances of success are a little too slim. Barrett frowned when he heard this. Because he knew that there would never be peace on this road, even in the territory of the Norhan Kingdom, the territory close to the Cruze was indispensable to the rebels and homeless people running from the opposite side. When you enter the Cruze Kingdom, it will be a chaotic and unorderly world.

Although the members of the 'Bloodstained Gray Flower' mercenary group can be called elite, the siege of a large number of enemies in his plane is still very difficult due to the small number of people. Even with the Fireball Technique, it is difficult to withstand the attacks of the Wheel Battle for a long time. And then under the situation of so many harassments. Even if we get to the place where the noodles are, I'm afraid there won't be much combat power left.

Mr. Josephine shook his head: "Even if you go on your own road, you may not be hindered by those royal lackeys. So it's better not to go overland, and go up! Not only does that save time, but the royal claws generally don't reach out to the ships of our chamber of commerce. ”

"Do you mean to go ashore from Waterwater City and then go north?" Barrett, who shook his head slightly, was quite embarrassed: "I have considered this route before, but there is a member of our team now, and it is not suitable to enter Repulse City. So it had to be vetoed. ”

"Your companion isn't publicly wanted in Repulse City, is he?" Mr. Josephine asked suddenly.

Barrett shook his head: "How is it possible! My companion is not a saboteur. How can you be wanted! She was just kicked out of Repulse City because of the defeat in the family's internal struggle. ”

"What's there to worry about! When the time comes, you just don't have to get in touch with that family. Mr. Josephine immediately went on to pitch his offer.

Barrett scratched his cheek with his fingers, "Now I have to persuade the companion, she doesn't seem to want to step on that sad ground." ”

"Do you think her emotions are more important or the life of your other companion? But don't forget that the overland route is a last resort. As it stands, it's also the highest. And the greatest danger is probably not after entering the Kingdom of Cruze, but in this area of Nohan's territory. Mr. Josephine was clearly unhappy with Barrett's hesitation. In his opinion, Barrett, as the team leader, should be tougher, so as to ensure his authority.
