I have a shelter
Chapter 454: Apollo and the Spy Team (Two in One)
The trade routes of Star Country, both by land and water, are now in the hands of the Southern Wilderness people. However, the relationship between the Southern Wilderness people and Star Country has always been somewhat hostile after the war. Although some tribes have established interest relations with the nobles in Star Country, compared with the needs of Star Country, what the Southern Wilderness tribes provide is just a drop in the bucket. It is difficult to satisfy their market.
In the past, the Southern Wilderness people plundered the caravans of Eldar because they were interested in the spices and other materials of these caravans. However, no tribe has such deep channels and networks in Star Country. Even if a successful large-scale plunder is carried out, the price will often be pushed to the lowest level after the goods are exported to Star Country.
And the Southern Wilderness people obviously don’t know how to negotiate prices.
In these years, although the trade between Eldar and Star Country was blocked by the Southern Wilderness, there are still many caravans and armed merchant ships who risk their lives to go to Star Country.
A small box of 'Tulip Balm' and 'Musk Ox Frankincense' is about 26 grams, and costs about 1 Silver Fox (the labor cost is negligible under the pressure of the lord, and most of the cost is spent on packaging). The market price in Elda is two yuan, and in the Star Country it is eight yuan.
The price is higher than gold!
This is enough to drive anyone crazy.
The trade route from Elda to the Star Country is like a 'small Silk Road' (slightly shorter). So for so many years, even though there are layers of obstacles on the road, the far-sighted Sky Eagles have been doing their best to maintain the family's Chamber of Commerce branch in the Star Country.
Although the branch of the Chamber of Commerce has received fewer and fewer goods from the Sky Eagle Principality over the years, making it very difficult for the Chamber of Commerce to maintain, the Chamber of Commerce has always had close ties with the nobles of the Star Country and maintained local channels and networks.
The existence of this Chamber of Commerce allows no matter how much goods there are, they can be sold smoothly at a higher profit.
At present, no southern wilderness tribe has established a close cooperative relationship with the Eldar. In the eyes of these guys who only value strength, the Eldar are only worthy of being fat sheep.
Therefore, it is of great significance for the Sky Eagle to establish a relationship with the Southern Wilderness Tribe. This time, if the trade route can be successfully opened, the profit will be very considerable.
Although the quantity of goods this time is far from meeting the gap of the modern magic army-tens of millions of supplies must be food. But without trade, a horse cannot grow fat without night grass. If you want to give Sky Eagle more high-quality nutrients in its growth, stable high-level trade and relationship networks are of great strategic significance.
George also intends to use this method to cause friction between Moss and other tribes.
George believes that the internal conflicts between tribes will inevitably cause Moss and others to be excluded. This exclusion will allow Moss and others to join forces with some other tribes to make money-there will be more and more tribes opposing Moss, and more and more tribes standing with Moss.
Moss and his people will become a new force in the Southern Wilds, and the biggest support of this new force is not the Great Chief - because the Great Chief must stand with the old forces that advocate war, and stand on the opposite side of the new forces like Moss who hold fat meat and make a lot of money.
Only the "small chief" who can continuously provide them with goods, war resources and even land is their real support. And the more things this small chief provides, the greater the difference between the interest groups on Moss's side and the entire tribe will be.
The wealth and growth of the Moss tribe will also make other tribes jealous!
Horses and trade are already secondary. They are just the fuse that exacerbates the rifts between the tribes.
When the time is right, George will take action.
By that time, either all the people in the Southern Wilds will make money with him, or unite with Moss and other tribes that want to make money but don't want to fight, and kill the Great Chief together and elect a new chief.
This internal friction and civil strife in the Southern Wilds will make the Northern Kingdom the most difficult period next year.
This dispute within the Southern Wilderness will also end with the victory of the new forces represented by Moss, because behind them stands the Sun God!
And George believes that when the Southern Wilderness is stabilized again, no matter whether there are any unresolved contradictions between the Seven Nations and the tribes, they will all stand together to face the demons that broke into the "Zhenjian Mountain".
After talking about this, George has already let go of the stone in his heart. He knows that the moment Moss nodded, he has been completely tied to the boat. The growth of their tribe is a rigid demand, and it will be an inevitable result for them to jump to their "little chief", a big backer with money and soldiers.
George left the matter to Leighton and Moss to handle. Before leaving, he said to Moss: "I need this batch of horses more urgently. I hope you can bring the horses here before Leighton takes the goods."
Moss agreed to this matter. Because the amount of spices is not small, these horses are considered as collateral.
Moss is an impatient man. He plans to leave in the next few days to take care of the horses. They will be delivered in more than a month at most.
Presumably, the people of the Moss tribe will be mobilized in the next period of time.
"Leighton, load all the wine in the Sky Eagle City's inventory to Moss in the next few days. They need these commercial goods to buy horses." George instructed Leighton lightly.
"No, no, there are still many horses in the tribe. The funds needed for purchasing horses can also be advanced by the tribe." Moss said while fussing with his hair. In fact, he didn't plan to purchase many horses - he had already planned which tribes to rob.
"Don't just rob, make more friends, Moss. It's better to find some tribes with ships." George patted Moss on the shoulder and said pertinently: "This time you go back, I will let some people go with you."
At this point, George looked at the 'righteous angels' Sodilaya (Soraya), Sol and others who were called by Aji not far away: "They all like your singing very much and have wanted to visit your tribe for a long time."
George smiled meaningfully.
Sodilaya will have a good talk with the shamans of the Moss tribe. At the beginning, this guy traveled alone in the southern wilderness and spread his faith throughout the southern continent. The means of this 'archangel' in this matter are much more professional than his own charlatan.
As for the cunning Sol, he will deal with those friends who should be pulled over and the fuses that should be ignited.
In the next few days, George did not leave the Sky Eagle City. Enjoy a rare leisure day. But except for him, everyone is very busy. Even the little follower Rona was pulled over by Tanya until the scholars of the Sky Eagle adjusted the potion.
There was no rush for the departure.
For this first trade, George still planned to bring the Dawn Knight up. Now the knights are in the various territories of the Sky Eagle and the Basin, serving as bodyguards for the scholars and priests. It will take April for the people from the shelter to complete the handover.
And it will take time for Leighton to purchase the goods. George estimated that he might finally set off in mid-to-late April. It coincides with the date mentioned by Moss.
The Autumn Festival (Martial Arts Tournament) of the Kingdom of Elda is calculated according to the time in the north - September, which is the best hunting season. If you set off to the Star Kingdom at the end of April, it will take about four or five months.
Leighton told George that if you go by land, it may take more than 3,000 kilometers from the Principality of Sky Eagle to the Star Kingdom. The caravan is faster than the army, and there are many official roads in the middle. But even if there are enough draft horses, an average of 60 kilometers a day is the fastest speed.
It takes about four or five months to go back and forth. If you count the time spent in the local area, this time is a bit too tight.
But if there is a special transport team, this time is completely enough.
The sun god, of course, needs a sun god's vehicle.
Moss left in mid-March, and George arranged some things for the next period of time.
He picked out the small team of Bright Moon, including 'Dek', and let 'Shayer' and a fire demon lead the team to the east. Their task is to collect information from the demons and conduct a field survey of the Swan Lake Wetland this year.
This work is not difficult. The brains of 'Lena' and others are more cunning than Thor, and they will not go too deep into the demons.
The information the shelter has now comes from the captured fire demons in the west.
Judging from the information they say, the one who is now in charge of the demon war should be no worse than Garokster.
Its name is 'Takla Bagas'. He is from the Ice Demon Worm Clan. He looks like a land dragon with small wings, and also like a big worm with a soft abdomen on his back. Its status among demons is basically the same as 'Garoscott'. And 'Takla's' deputy is a big demon lord who once served 'Garoscott'.
This big fire demon is a guy that Thor is extremely afraid of.
However, the information provided by the demon captives is a bit outdated-because the newly appointed big fire demon has been settled by the Holy Court. And that great victory of the Holy Court is now the hell-level copy of the shelter.
After the death of Garroscott, the fire demon was hit hard, and the internal chaos began. Many rebels also appeared in the lava hell. These rebels did not come to this world according to Aloysius' plan, but began to conquer each other in hell.
Today's fire demon's troops are completely different from before, and have completely become the second-line army of the devil.
Sayaer's troops will go to the demons to explore first, and the intelligence they collect will be directly transmitted to the Book of Dawn. After they have established their foothold there, George plans to send Thor to find a way to get him into the upper echelons of the demons.
George is still considering this matter, and he may go with him depending on the situation.
In addition to arranging this spy team, George has also been paying attention to the movements of the small mercenary groups that go to various parts of Elda - George calls this group of "special forces" "little players". To distinguish the "big players" around him.
The members of the special forces of the big players are similar to Dirk's group, who are mainly good at conquering high-difficulty demons, while the small players are like "Hant", who are good at finding clues and dealing with more cunning things.
Through the shelter as a message transfer station, George can seamlessly connect with the messages of various mercenaries. However, many events are handled by the shelter team, which reduces George's pressure a lot, as long as he leads the direction of the overall situation.
Currently, the one who mainly helps George deal with the affairs of various mercenary groups is ‘Daphne of Chaos’. She handles the ‘tactical’ work, while George controls the overall situation.
This terrorist leader is not suitable for doing research in the laboratory, but she is very good at how to cause trouble and how to deal with monsters.
Not only that, she is also very experienced in how to command small teams scattered in various regions, how to cause trouble in the noble territories, and how to play with the hidden forces of the enemy.
The black demon that Lord Wolf and his team had dealt with was finally successful under her behind-the-scenes leadership.
She also had a deep understanding of how to let a small team play the role of a "traveling wizard" and its followers, and make the nobles kneel down and ask for help. In addition, each small team has priests in addition to wizards.
The routine is often that the priests first sneak into the local church, and the wizards build momentum in the territory. The results made George feel extremely surprised.
In addition to dealing with the nobles on Alfonso's list, they also did a lot of serious work.
Under Daphne's command, various "small player" groups have now joined forces with various local adventurers and bounty teams to do a lot of things. Many people have gathered around the "small players".
And what's interesting is that from the news sent back, since last month, they have begun to pay attention to strange stories from all over the world, as well as those legends about "evil gods".
This is Daphne's suggestion - "Where there are such legends, there must be people with bad intentions. Of course, if there are none, we can also use this as an excuse."
This "searching" method seems to be quite effective.
So far, in addition to acting, they have also cleared up a lot of hidden dangers, some of which are chaotic bodies affected by the blood moon - some even have the strength of black magic, which makes the various mercenary groups famous!
Many nobles now obey the orders of various "traveling wizards", and the wizard's followers and his summoned mercenary friends (who joined the group later) have become the patron saints in the hearts of local nobles and residents.
There are also several real sources of disaster.
Most of these sources of disaster are dominated by the Mist Cult. These cultists joined other local cultists to trigger some of the "evil gods" believed by the cultists.
But unfortunately, among these so-called "evil gods", the most powerful one is only a "wolf demon" - it has just awakened and is only equivalent to the strength of the great devil.
In fact, its appearance has a lot to do with the mercenaries.
Originally, the cultists did not intend to open the source of these disasters at this time, but the mercenaries and adventurers who were particularly active in the Kingdom of Elda this year put great pressure on them. After a small team caught the tail of a group of mist cultists, the ceremony of the "evil god" began in advance.
When the mercenaries passed the news to the shelter, it was the time period when they had just mastered the exact information and location of the ceremony. And the shelter gave the news to George as soon as possible.
And from the map, the small team that had first-hand information seemed to be fooled by the cultists. This group of cultists sacrificed themselves as bait and gave their master a chance. So although the mercenaries wiped out all these idiots, the "evil god" escaped.
From the interrogation of the mercenaries, these cultists seemed to be on the verge of death, and they all thought that their masters would resurrect them and give them eternal life. And that evil god is the "Lord of the End of the World", and the world was destroyed on the day it appeared.
But it was somewhat embarrassing that the power of this "evil god" was obviously not as good as its vulgar title, and in the end it only destroyed a nearby manor.
Then, the cunning demon disappeared.
