Tales of the Reincarnated Lord Chapter 518: Miscalculation

Chapter 518 Miscalculation

I always feel like something's wrong? Lorist was very depressed walking around the city walls.

This is the seventeenth day of Norton Family armed forces's occupation of Morante City. Seven days ago, Lorist received an urgent report from scout Qingqi. Trade Union armed forces already returned to the army to Morante City, nearly 100,000 forward troops, and more than 200,000 follow-up troops. The majestic momentum is strong, it seems that Morante City will soon usher in a **** offensive and defensive battle.

The enemies came under heavy pressure, and the next four days of Lorist and the two high-level Legions were almost sleepless. They prepared for defensive operations day and night. After paying huge amounts of materials and gold coin(s) compensation, they finally depended on them. Morante City residents assisted in completing the work of clearing the shantytowns and slums outside the city, and then dug up and set up barriers. Jianbi Qingye was very busy.

Morante City also ushered in the first batch of attackers after everything was done. The Trade Union armed forces vanguard troops of nearly 10,000 people flocked in unorganizedly, lost their helmets and armors, and held all kinds of bare hands. White flags gathered around the city and shouted, "Okay, okay, give me something to eat ..."

"Open the door, we surrender ..."

"I'm going home, I won't hit ..."

At that time, the Lorist and Potterfang in the city were almost shocked by the Legion executives, and no one knew what was going on. If it ’s a trick, it ’s obviously not. Whoever has seen a seducer can act like this, run out of breath, get out of breath, and sit on the bottom of the gate and refuse to get up ...

When Els took someone out to check and question, I realized what was going on. Seriously speaking, these 10,000 men and horses are also the lucky ones of the Trade Union armed forces striker units. They returned to the army to recapture Morumt City, and they only carried dry food for five days when they set off. The Trade Union executives told them that Gypsy City and Thomas City were also lost, and the acquisition of these two cities naturally provided sufficient logistical supplies.

Because these 100,000 people were recruited by Morante City, they were worried about the safety of their families and rushed to the road. However, they were all infantrymen, and they were able to walk as fast as they could before reaching Gypses City after the dry food was eaten. However, Gypsy City has been abandoned by Lorist. After occupying the entire city without blood, they found nothing. Except for the bricks and stones, they could not find anything to eat and use, and had to fill their stomachs with water.

So they pinned their hopes on Thomas City. The two fortress cities were only one day away. It was only at noon that they were attacked by Flying Tigers Legion and Hunting Cavalry Legion during their march. 100,000 horses were tired and hungry, and they collapsed on the spot. These 10,000 people ran faster, and fortunately escaped the cavalry. It was only after they ran out that they found no way to escape, and cared about the family of Morante City. The last discussion came over and surrendered.

Lorist They couldn't help crying and laughing. They dared to live for days and days in vain. After a day, several cavalry brigades of Flying Tigers Legion and Hunting Cavalry Legion also escorted a large number of captives, and added 100,000 grain-consuming mouths to Morante City. Fortunately, Simba Wood and Uncle Torin already transported the grain from Silowas Islands. For a period of time, it was still abundant in grain and grass, and could support the population of Morante City.

Flight Tiger Legion's army Captain Fierce Tiger Ross and Hunting Cavalry Legion's army Captain Farrea also arrived with the cavalry escorting the captives. Lorist only knew that when asked, the 100,000 horses of the Trade Union armed forces striker and the follow-up troops were somewhat out of touch. The two-day journey opened in the middle, which did not play a role in front and back. This allowed Flying Tigers Legion and Hunting Cavalry Legion to have the opportunity to attack and surround them first. Annihilated these 100,000 people.

Fierce Tiger Ross and Farrea stated that their two cavalry Legion will continue to carry out harassment and raid tactics on the follow-up units of Trade Union armed forces with more than 200,000 horses, delaying the enemy's return journey to Morante City. After a rush of military discussions, the two embarked on the journey with the cavalry brigades escorting the captives.

However, already has passed for another two days, but there is no information from Trade Union's follow-up forces. Lorist couldn't help but guess what was going on. Even if the follow-up unit of Trade Union armed forces was afraid and retracted because the forward 100,000 horses were wiped out, Fierce Tiger Ross and Farrea should also send a messenger to send a message back. Bian Tian waits on the city wall to wait forever, okay, waiting is the most anxious ...

Three fumes of smoke are rising in the distance, and three heroic warhorses are coming. The leading Knight(s) yelled out loudly: "emergency report, frontline report, open the gates!"

When Lorist opened the Hunting Cavalry Legion Farrea hand-written battle report, it almost jumped at a glance: "What, Trade Union armed forces's 200,000 follow-up troops did not come to Morante City at all, but turned to Mawei Forint Province! They are here What? Give up regaining Morante City? Even Falik Plains is abandoned? "

"Yes, Your Highness, Farrea Lord(s) ordered me to receive the urgent battle report of Flying Tiger Legion when I came to send the letter. The three garrison troops of Trade Union armed forces stayed in Robertvia City, Credo City and Leite City sent an envoy request to Flying Tiger Legion. Surrender, Fierce Tiger Ross Lord(s) already went to receive three fortress cities. If it is true, the battle report will be sent soon ... "The messenger provided another surprising news.

"What the **** is this? Surviving the tail? What is the idea of ​​Trade Union? Abandoning the other half of the force to save 200,000 horses? Is this possible? The handwriting is too big. Or is it because The destruction of the forward 100,000 horses forced its follow-up forces to change the decision to recapture the city of Molente. The changeover was to save more than 200,000 horses. Why did the remaining troops surrender? That was also more than 100,000 horses. ... "Lorist was puzzled. But anyway, Morante City is always a good thing to avoid a war.

Another day later, Lorist received the battle report from the front line again to understand what happened: "I rely, this is pure misfortune eastward, Trade Union This is to save their elite Chamber of Commerce armed forces Legion abandoned those miscellaneous brand soldiers, This has been planned for a long time, and then the burden of feeding more than 200,000 mouths is transferred to our Norton Family. The more than 200,000 captives will consume a lot of food ... but why does Trade Union armed forces give up recovering Morante City? Do they have anything? Any other purpose? "

Fierce Tiger Ross reported in the battle report that the garrison troops remaining in the three fortress cities had surrendered because of lack of food logistics supplies, because the follow-up units of Trade Union armed forces took away most of the supplies when they left, leaving only them After less than five days of forage. Fearing that the Andinak Kingdom Aristocrat(s) coalition who had fought with them for two years would kill their poison after they surrendered, they chose to surrender to Norton Family armed forces.

Fierce Tiger Ross requested Lorist to deliver a batch of grain to the three fortress cities on the front line as soon as possible, because these 100,000 captives are now eating dry food carried by Flying Tiger Legion soldier(s). Now Flying Tiger Legion soldier(s) are half hungry. Full state. At the same time, the three fortress cities fell into the hands of Norton Family armed forces. already was found by Second Highness, and he sent an ambassador to take over the three fortress cities.

Well, here is too busy to kill you, King, please do n’t mess with us, Lorist immediately wrote a command to make Fierce Tiger Ross rightly reject the request of Second Highness. Falik Plains Seven fortress cities including Morante City, Second Highness only occupied one of Bruckwick. If all three fortress cities were entrusted to him, I'm afraid the Second Highness, who is so happy, will not leave, so I'm afraid it will cause trouble for future peace talks.

At the same time, Lorist allowed Fierce Tiger Ross to borrow rations from the three Northern Land allies and Grand Duke Fisablen to overcome the difficulties. Hunting Cavalry Legion is now following the Trade Union escape, and the more than 200,000 people who escaped are unable to leave. On his own side, he immediately sent Rock Legion to receive the three fortress cities. After Potterfang they arrived, Fierce Tiger Ross led Feihu Legion to **** those surrendering defensive forces back.

After finishing all this work, I will explain to you that Potterfang led Panshi Legion and thought about Lorist and wrote a letter to Second Highness. The content is Norton Family armed forces already defeated the invincible fleet of Trade Union and landing Morante City. The change is due to the response of Trade Union armed forces after the discovery of Morante City. It seems that they should have abandoned Morante City and Falik Plains and withdrew their troops and returned to Mavi Fulin Province.

Lorist impolitely asked in the letter that Second Highness should not act lightly and undermine the hard-won situation. Because Lorist intends to use Morante City and Falik Plains as chips, and discuss with Trade Union the major issue of signing an agreement to stop war and resume peace between the two countries. So Lorist hopes that Second Highness should do it. For example, if it hasn't been to Imperial Capital for such a long time, it's time to go back and look at the Empress that has been left alone for three years ...

At the same time, Lorist assured Second Highness in the letter that this time, in the name of Norton Family and its own Sword Saint, to discuss with Trade Union, even if something goes wrong, they can bear it. If the peace talks fail, it is not too late for Second Highness to come out to clean up the mess. It is better than Second Highness to come out and be fooled again. Of course, if the peace talks are successful, it will naturally require Second Highness to come forward and sign a peace agreement with Trade Union and so on ...

After sending a few Imperial Guard to send their letter to Second Highness, Lorist sighed and started to think about what Trade Union was doing. Did they really ignore Morante City? ? You know, this is Grindia Continent's number one commercial metropolis and the capital of Trade Union.

Gennario and Tarkel came in with a large stack of files, but neither of them looked very good-looking.

"What's wrong with you two, crying?" Lorist laughed.

"His Majesty, the seizure of already by the inner city and the business district has been calculated ..." Gennario ignored the issue of Lorist, but said solemnly.

"Oh, let's hear it and see how much our family can get into the account this time." Lorist was happy, after all, he didn't get involved in the war this time to do good deeds. Trade Union major Chamber of Commerce The materials and wealth reserved in line Morante are the proceeds of Norton Family's troop dispatch. I believe that this seizure will not let you down.

Gennario replied with a bitter smile: "His Royal Highness, this seizure was somewhat unsatisfactory. We only found more than 4 million gold fordess in the business district and the inner city. There were also a batch of materials worth ten million yuan, one of which A small part is expensive luxury materials, and there are many jewellery items, which are estimated to be worth millions of gold fordes. There is nothing else except these ... "

"What are you talking about? Is it just that?" Lorist startled. "It's impossible! How can Morante City only have such a small profit? This is a commercial metropolis with more than one million people. It circulates in the market every day. The number of gold fordess is as high as several million, let alone, the Trade Union and Chamber of Commerce warehouses in Morante City are all stacked with exotic treasures from all over the mainland. How can there be only such a harvest ... "

If the city is captured by other places, there will be so many seizures. Lorist must be overjoyed, but this is Morante City. How could there be only such a small profit? At this moment, Lorist suspected that someone was cheating, hiding a lot of loot and embezzling the sea. He didn't believe he had captured Morante City and only captured so much.

"His Royal Highness, you said that more than ten years ago, the current Morante City is not a commercial city at all, and it is awkward to say that its current commercial influence is not as great as that of Saint Manede, the capital of Jigda Kingdom. Since Trade Union was implemented as Lord After the system, there was a glass war with the Kingdom of Trimble. Various countries in the central and southern regions have adopted the policy of severing commercial routes and canceling business transactions with Trade Union. Morante City's status as the mainland's largest commercial metropolis has plummeted, and no more than a decade ago The kind of people coming and going, the bustling bustling scene. "Gennario calm words broke through Lorist's beautiful impression of Morante City left in memory.

Well ... it looks like this, otherwise the colleges in the college area will not be closed one by one because they cannot recruit students, and Dawn Academy will not leave Northern Land and start again. It seems that the intelligence sent by LM4FF from Morante City before Lenmood Knight(s) also said that the Morante City commercial market has become increasingly dense and shrinking. already has not seen an outside caravan for several years. At present, almost all commercial markets of Morante City are in the hands of each Chamber of Commerce. Just like cakes, all shares are allocated already cleanly, and there is no room for intervention.

It seems that Tarkel set up a plan a few years ago, preparing to set up a new Chamber of Commerce in Trade Union, and spend a few years slowly growing this small Chamber of Commerce into an influential large Chamber of Commerce of Morante City. It is a pity that this plan passed the approval of Lorist, but found that there is no possibility of realization.

Because, as in the report of Knight(s) by Lenmood, all industries of Morante City are monopolized by each Chamber of Commerce. Regardless of people's livelihood or armaments, they have Chamber of Commerce control. Even if you conceive a new product or business, soon the associated Chamber of Commerce will come to your door to force you to transfer this new industry to them. The consequences of disagreement can be imagined.

"His Highness, since Trade Union implemented the Lord System, those Chamber of Commerces have their own Chamber of Commerce Territory, they basically transferred the storage and production center of Chamber of Commerce to their Chamber of Commerce Territory. They set up production workshops on their Chamber of Commerce Territory And Chamber of Commerce warehouses, and Morante City business street is more like their exhibition shops, although there are many goods and commodities and raw materials reserves in the warehouse, but the number is not much.

Moreover, since the war between the Trade Union and the Allied Army of the Central and Southern Kingdoms, the Morante City commercial market has become even more deserted in recent years. Most of the reserves in the warehouse are useless trophies ready to be sold or related to the livelihood of Morante City million residents. It is rare to find any valuable reserves for daily supplies. This is not a warehouse of several Chamber of Commerce. Almost all Chamber of Commerce with shops in the business district are in the same situation ... "Tarkel explained further.

Lorist patted his forehead. He seemed to regard Morante City as Morante City when he was still studying and was Mercenary. But he did not think about more than ten years. Trade Union was annexed by a glass war. In seven countries, the expansion policy was jointly resisted by the rest of the central and southern countries. Commercial routes were cut off and business contacts cancelled. After several years, Trade Union was forced to take war to open commercial routes. In this case, Morante City, the capital of Trade Union, naturally There is no good result. Can a commercial city be called a commercial city without business contacts and transactions?
