The Styx scroll has been repaired in the past two days.However, it is still the opinion of the light of dawn that has not been sent from the kingdom of heaven.He hopes to have a good chat with the broken fallen angel inside...
It was a waste of words, and in the end, she had to forcefully suppress her back into the scroll...
With the Styx scroll, it is no longer up to her to decide whether she wants to be obedient or not.
0551 Dismissal! (two in one)
After the arrangements were made, George led some people to stroll around the city in a leisurely manner.
Halinska has four main city gates, and the blocks behind these four main city gates are the city's four main markets.Farmers, herdsmen, and tribal caravans exchange needed grains, livestock, and various daily necessities here.Spices, silk and even slaves were also sold in these areas.
Cattle, sheep and horses can be seen everywhere on the street, and the market looks messy and crowded but orderly.
George paid attention to the commodity prices here, and found that the prices of food and daily necessities were very high and fluctuated greatly.But the prices of meat, silk, furs and luxury goods are very low and stable.
"Iberia is actually the largest grain-producing area among the Seven Kingdoms." Salman said: "But excessive grazing has greatly reduced grain production, and the conquest of various tribes has also made farmers' lives unstable. Then In addition, there is a large amount of grain that needs to be transported to Sun City every year, which makes the price of grain here surprisingly high."
Judging from the price of meat and cheese, the people here can still have enough to eat, but this city doesn't seem to have prepared too many strategic materials.
And the population price here has also dropped repeatedly over the years. An ordinary slave only costs two or three silver foxes, a strong slave only costs three or four silver foxes, and a girl with a good face only costs seven or eight dollars. That's all.According to Salman, a big slave owner, this is a city where he mainly imported slaves.
After reading this, George secretly frowned.
The various tribes in the Southern Wilderness continued to fight in small battles, but judging from Halinska, they were not prepared for a large-scale battle... However, this was the fortress of the various tribes in the Southern Wilderness in the east.Whether it is marching into Eldar or defending the Holy Court and the Kingdom of Stars, this is the most important supply point.
The battle of faith has been clamored many times by the hawks in the holy court, but Nanhuang has no intention of preparing for the war.I don’t know if it’s Avali who concluded that the holy court is strong outside the middle, or he is powerless and can only pretend to be forceful on the surface...
After that, George and the others went to the blacksmith area and found that there are many workshops here, and the prices of various weapons and precious metals are generally lower here.And there are a lot of them, and the main orderers are everyone. It seems that the official has not restricted the items needed for war.
"Salman, do the tribes have such a large demand for weapons?" George couldn't help asking.
"There is a lot of turmoil in the Southern Wilderness. In addition to the conquests of various tribes, the bandits and riots can hardly be killed. It is hard to tell whether it is the Southern Wilderness people or the mobs. In fact, in the whole of Iberia, there is only the Frost King." People at the bottom of the frontier have a better life."
Speaking of this, Salman's expression became meaningful: "After Awali came to power, his series of policies enabled the Iberian nobles to be more armed, and the nobles also had a real relationship with the tribe. The bandits and mobs were finally gradually contained after the establishment of solid guards in various regions. But those tribes that did not cooperate with Awali often caused great troubles."
"It seems that this Awali is not only the spokesperson for the interests of the tribe..." George understood what Salman meant.
Many of the weapons in the hands of bandits and mobs were probably secretly supported by nobles and other tribes.Even many bandits are tribes and nobles.And these rebels who robbed grain and burned fields, whichever tribe they fought in, that tribe would suffer untold misery.So he turned to Awali, who had resources in his hands, to help the tribe tide over the difficulties.
From the market prices of population, food, and war resources, George gradually gained a deeper understanding of the situation in the Southern Wilderness.And he gradually discovered the problem.
George finally confirmed one thing to Salman: "Salman, does Nanhuang know that the Holy Court has claims about the battle of faith?"
"I know, but so what?" Sharman shook his head and said, "The people of the Southern Wilderness are not afraid of going to war, and the Holy Court can't completely destroy or expel them..."
In this fog, the tribes come and go without a trace, and they have long been accustomed to playing without the support of the city.Regardless of assembly, travel notes, escape, or blitz, they are true masters.And they are extremely able to endure hardships, and they are also the best at attacking supplies.
So for so many years, the Holy Court has spent a lot of money for the war, but it has not been able to make any real achievements. The Holy Court is like a prairie fire, and the southern wilderness is like weeds.After the fire, a large area was cleaned up, but when the fire subsided, the weeds grew again.
As a result, many people who firmly supported the Holy Court did not get good results in the end.Those who are getting more and more moist are all dog legs like Cang Lan.
"Even this Halinska has been difficult for several times after the Twilight War. But after the Holy Court left, the people from the Southern Wilderness will still come back..."
Apart from Nanhuang, the country that has occupied this city for the longest time in history is the country of stars. The foundation of the alchemy industry here was built by the country of stars.But the Kingdom of Stars has only been here for three years.
This city is indeed impregnable, but people from the Southern Wilderness seldom attack the city.However, amidst the constant harassment, the surrounding area of the city could not be cultivated at all, and could only rely on the food stored in the city and external support.If there are fewer people, they can only be surrounded and rescued, and when the reinforcements from the Star Kingdom arrive, more than half of the luggage will be plundered during the attack.
Originally, the Holy Court and the Kingdom of the Stars were conquests abroad, and the war cost a lot.After the army came over, it was often difficult to achieve anything.So in the end, the two powerful empires, the Holy Empire and the Kingdom of the Stars, signed a peace treaty with these rascals in the Southern Wilderness.
George nodded after listening.
He could see that during these years of turmoil, the Iberians were already struggling to make ends meet, and the people from the southern desert who had just established themselves in Iberia also desperately needed to recuperate.Before Awali came to power, there was a famine because of the tribe's overgrazing.
But in fact, Southern Wilderness has not even built a real rear area that can provide food stably.
Halinska is not the big rear, but the big front.Once there is a war, production will stop here.
The real rear area should be Sun City and the nearby River of Stars.But this so-called rear area needs supplies from the north.
So far, although food can meet the needs of the entire population, many living utensils need to be supported by trade.Therefore, it can be said that Nanhuang is now a tight string, and if the pressure is greater, it will break.
At that time, the bandits raised by Awali and the tribes with various appeals may cause a disaster even more terrifying than the Holy Court's attack from the interior of the Southern Wilderness.
Of course, if Avali can be given a period of time, he will be able to integrate the Southern Wilderness and the Iberians, so that they will not distinguish between you and me, and realize the vision of great unification in his heart.Afterwards, these weaknesses of the Southern Wilderness will be eradicated by him slowly, and the entire Southern Wilderness and Iberia will establish a powerful dynasty that will make the Seven Kingdoms tremble!
But unfortunately, the chief didn't allow it.
He wants to see a North in constant turmoil, a tribe that only the Chosen can call forth.
As for the life and death of the tribe and the life and death of the Iberians, he doesn't care.Because in the coming disaster, the people he most wanted to keep had already taken root in the River of Stars...
Under the pressure of the great chief, Awali could no longer make drastic moves, and after the Frost King detonated the conflicts among the tribes in the north, the unified order that Awali had established was already in jeopardy.
And in this situation of internal contradictions, unless the people of the Southern Wilderness were willing to throw away everything they had built in Iberia and leave it to the rioting rebels, it would be difficult for them to invade the north.
A group of idiots who bark their teeth and show off their claws.
He found the weakness of Nanhuang, and also knew what Avali needed most.
Maybe the Holy Court doesn't have time to deal with these bastards now, and Avali knows this well.
However, the uncle who came here today must be terrified to death.
Because he was able to kill the Eight Great Tribes!
So far, George has already made up his mind about how to wipe Soraya's ass.
Afterwards, George and Lorna strolled around for a long time, seeing many of the sights of Halinska.Even had a meal at noon.But the so-called team that came to welcome them never came.
"My lord, this period is more sensitive. After seeing Prince Frost Prince Frost in the team, the Eight Departments may be deliberately neglecting us." Salman said.
To be honest, he was a little apprehensive.Along the way today, they saw everything in the city that they should and shouldn't see.However, Awali and the others had no intention of changing those sensitive things at all.It seems that the holy court is watching it on purpose.
Usually when they come here by themselves, they are more or less pretending.
"No hurry, let's buy some souvenirs." George said, looking at the girls carrying things.
What George and Salman thought was completely different. Awali would indeed not send someone over now.Frost King, Shengting, and Canglan came to Harinska together, which was too sudden and surprising.He needs to digest and digest well, and understand the situation well.
After that, Salman's carriage was filled with various things.And Rona and Angel picked a few voodoo dolls.Judging from the surprised faces of the two, the witch doctor here seems to be of some level.
They are much stronger than the scholars raised by the nobles.
Along the way, George and the others saw several gang fights in the street. It seems that with the start of the hunting festival, the friction between the various tribes has also entered a larger period. After all, this quota is not only directly related to the interests of the tribe, but also everyone They all fought for one breath.
Coupled with the current dispute between the Frost King and the Fire King, the various tribes are undercurrents.And although many tribes, such as the Eight Departments, have not directly joined the dispute.But the different supporters have almost split into two factions.They don't like each other.
Just when Moss and Milim were watching the fighting crowd over there, they were holding handfuls of big meat skewers and eating more than anyone else.There was a rumbling sound of cavalry in the distance.
