I have a shelter

Chapter 552: A show of strength! (Two in one)

After making the arrangements, George took some people to stroll around the city slowly.

Harinska has four main gates, and the blocks behind these four main gates are the four main markets of the city. Farmers, herdsmen, and tribal caravans exchange the grains, livestock, and various daily necessities they need here. Spices, silk, and even slaves are also sold in these areas.

Cows, sheep, and horses can be seen everywhere on the streets. The market seems messy, crowded, but orderly.

George paid attention to the prices of goods here and found that the prices of food and daily necessities are very high and fluctuate greatly. But the prices of meat, silk, fur, and luxury goods are very low and stable.

"Iberia is actually the largest grain-producing area among the seven countries." Salman said, "But excessive grazing has greatly reduced grain production, and the conquests of various tribes have also made farmers' lives unstable. In addition, a large amount of grain is shipped to the Sun City every year, which makes the grain price here surprisingly high."

Judging from the prices of meat and cheese, people here can still eat enough, but this city does not seem to have prepared too many strategic materials.

The population price here has also dropped again and again in these years. An ordinary slave only costs two or three silver foxes, a strong slave only needs three or four silver foxes, and a beautiful girl only costs seven or eight. According to Salman, the big slave owner, this is a city where he mainly imports slaves.

After reading this, George frowned secretly.

‘The small wars among the tribes in the Southern Wilderness continue, but from the perspective of ‘Harinska’, they are not prepared for large-scale warfare. However, this is the fortress of the tribes in the Southern Wilderness in the east. Whether it is to march into Elda or to defend the Holy Court and the Star Country, this is the most important supply point. ’

‘The ‘War of Faith’ has been clamored many times by the Hawks in the Holy Court, but there is no intention to prepare for war in the Southern Wilderness. I don’t know whether Avali has determined that the Holy Court is strong on the outside but weak on the inside, or he is powerless and can only pretend on the surface’

After that, George and his friends went to the blacksmith area again and found that there were many workshops here, and the prices of various weapons and precious metals were generally slightly lower here. Moreover, there are a lot of them, and the main buyers are all kinds of people. It seems that the government has not imposed any restrictions on war supplies.

"Salman, do the tribes have such a great demand for weapons?" George asked.

"There are many disturbances in the Southern Wilds. In addition to the conquests of various tribes, bandits and riots are almost impossible to kill - it is hard to tell whether they are people from the Southern Wilds or mobs. In fact, in the whole of Iberia, only the lower-class people in the Frost King's power have a better life."

At this point, Salman's expression became meaningful: "After Avali came to power, his series of policies enabled the nobles of Iberia to obtain larger weapons, and the nobles and the tribes were truly closely united. After establishing a stable guard force in each area, the bandits and mobs were finally gradually curbed. But those tribes that did not cooperate with Avali often caused a lot of trouble."

"It seems that this Avali is not only a spokesperson for the interests of the tribe." George understood what Salman meant.

Many of the weapons in the hands of bandits and mobs are probably secretly supported by nobles and other tribes. Even many bandits are people from tribes and nobles. And these rebels who robbed food and burned fields, whichever tribe was in trouble, that tribe would suffer. So they asked for help from Awali, who had the resources in his hands, to help the tribe overcome the difficulties.

From the market prices of population, food, and war resources, George gradually had 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 the Southern Wilderness know that the Holy See has the idea of ​​'War of Faith'?"

"I know, but what can I do?" Salman shook his head and said: "The people of the Southern Wilderness are not afraid of going to war, and the Holy See can't completely wipe them out or expel them."

In this fog, the tribe came and went without a trace, and had long been accustomed to fighting without the support of the city. And whether it is gathering, traveling, escaping, or blitzkrieg, they are real masters. And they are extremely hardworking and are best at attacking baggage.

So for so many years, the Holy See has invested a lot of losses in the war, but has never made any real achievements-the Holy See is like a prairie fire, and the Southern Wilderness is like weeds. After the fire, a large area was cleaned, but when the fire faded, the weeds grew again.

This made many people who firmly supported the Holy Court not get a good harvest in the end. Those who got more and more prosperous were lackeys like Canglan.

"Even this 'Harinska' has changed several times after the Dusk War. But after the Holy Court left, the people of the Southern Wilderness will still come back."

In addition to the Southern Wilderness, the country that occupied this city for the longest time in history was the Star Country. The alchemy industry foundation here was built by the Star Country. But the Star Country only stayed here for three years.

This city is indeed impregnable, but the people of the Southern Wilderness rarely attack the city. But in the constant harassment, it is impossible to farm around the city, and they can only rely on the food stored in the city and external support. If there are fewer people, they can only be surrounded and attacked, and when the reinforcements of the Star Country come in large numbers, most of the baggage will be looted in the attack.

Originally, the Holy Court and the Kingdom of Stars were engaged in external conquests, and the wars were very costly. After the army came, it was often difficult to achieve anything. So in the end, the two powerful empires, the Holy Empire and the Kingdom of Stars, signed a peace agreement with the group of rogues in the Southern Wilds.

George nodded after listening.

He could see that in the turmoil of these years, the Iberians were already living in poverty, and the Southern Wilds, who had just established a foothold in Iberia, also needed to recuperate. Before Avali came to power, there was a famine due to overgrazing of the tribe.

But in fact, the Southern Wilds have not even built a rear area that can really provide stable food.

‘Harinska’ is not a rear area, but a front area. Once a war breaks out, production will stop here.

The real rear area should be the Sun City and the nearby River Basin of Stars. But this so-called rear area needs to be supported by supplies from the north.

So far, although the entire food can meet the needs of living, many daily necessities need to rely on trade to support. Therefore, it can be said that the Southern Wasteland is now a tight string. If the pressure is greater, it will break.

By then, the bandits raised by Avali and the tribes with various demands will probably start a disaster from the interior of the Southern Wasteland that is more terrifying than the attack of the Holy Court.

Of course, if Avali can be given some time, he will be able to integrate the Southern Wasteland and the Iberians, so that they will not distinguish between you and me, and realize his vision of "great unification". After that, these weaknesses of the Southern Wasteland will also be slowly eradicated by him, and the entire Southern Wasteland and Iberia will establish a powerful dynasty that will make the seven countries tremble!

But unfortunately, the chieftain does not allow it.

What he wants to see is a turbulent north, a tribe that can only be called up by the "chosen one".

As for the life and death of the tribe and the life and death of the Iberians, he does not care. Because in the next disaster, the people he wanted to protect the most have already taken root in the River of Stars.

Under the pressure of the Great Chief, Avali could no longer make drastic changes, and after the Frost King detonated the conflicts among the tribes in the north, the "great unity" order that Avali had established was already in jeopardy.

In this situation of internal conflicts, unless the people of the Southern Wilderness are willing to abandon everything they have established in Iberia and leave it to the rioting rebels, it will be difficult for them to invade the north.

'A bunch of stupid people with fangs and claws, strong on the outside but weak on the inside. '

He found the weakness of the Southern Wilderness and knew what Avali needed most.

Maybe the Holy See has no time to take care of these bastards now, and Avali knows this very well.

But he must be scared to death of this uncle who came here today.

Because he can kill the eight tribes!

So far, George has already had a plan for how to clean up Soraya's ass.

After that, George and Rona strolled for a long time and saw many scenes in Harlinska. They even had lunch at noon. But the so-called welcoming team never came.

"My lord, this period is more sensitive. The eight tribes may be deliberately neglecting us after seeing the Frost King (Frost Prince) in the team." Salman said.

To be honest, he was a little uneasy. Today, they saw everything they should and shouldn't see in the city. However, Avali and others had no intention of changing those sensitive things. It seemed that they were deliberately looking at the Holy Court.

When they came by themselves, they were more or less pretending.

"Don't worry, buy some local specialties." George said to the girls who were carrying things.

George and Salman thought completely differently-Avali would not send anyone over now. It was too sudden and too unexpected that the Frost King, the Holy Court, and Canglan came to Harlinska together. He needed to digest it well and understand the situation well.

After that, Salman's carriage was filled with all kinds of toys. Rona and Angel picked a few voodoo dolls. Judging from their surprised faces, the witch doctors here seemed to be quite skilled.

Much better than the scholars kept by the nobles.

Along the way, George and his friends saw several street fights. It seemed that with the start of the hunting festival, the friction between the tribes had entered a larger period - after all, this quota was not only closely related to the interests of the tribe, but everyone was also fighting for it.

In addition, the current dispute between the Frost King and the Fire King has caused undercurrents in the tribes. Although many tribes such as the Eight Tribes have not directly joined the dispute. But the different supporters have almost divided into two factions. They don't like each other.

Just as Moss and 'Milim' were watching the crowd fighting over there, holding a bunch of big skewers to see who could eat more. There were bursts of rumbling iron cavalry sounds in the distance.

The leader of this group of cavalrymen was shaped like a solid block, and the hundreds of knights around him were like bears. The horses they rode were all extremely tall mutant giant horses, all black without a single strand of hair.

These people, including the horses, were wearing heavy black cold-forged iron armor. The chest guards on their chests were in the shape of an ogre's head, and the iron helmets on their heads had ogre horns, which looked ferocious and fierce.

They were riding aggressively with whips raised, and pedestrians on the road were so scared that they quickly avoided them. Some of the nobles of the Southern Wilds who had gathered together to fight were unable to dodge, and were knocked over with their cars.

The knights behind did not forget to swing their whips and whipped those who blocked the road while shouting and cursing.

The nobles of the Southern Wilds, who were originally arrogant and domineering, hugged their heads and ran away after seeing this group of people. They did not dare to make a sound when they were whipped, and only dared to run to the side of the road, covering their faces and showing this smile.

Because this is a group of real uncles in this "Harinska"!

Each of them was born in the upper nobles of the tribe, and they all have the blood of the Sun Royal Family. And their strength and status are also very matched. In various wars in the past, these knights and their ancestors have established a great reputation.

And the eight tribes can challenge the Frost King and the Fire King, relying on these groups of knights.

The clothes worn by George and his companions were very conspicuous here, and Salman's luxurious carriage was parked not far away, used to transport the things Rona and her companions bought on the street - there was also a large flag of the Holy Court hanging on it. Tell the city that Canglan brought people from the Holy Court here today.

Many people who care about the Holy Court have been watching for a long time not far away.

After seeing this, the group of people ran straight over.

But when the knights came in front of them, they did not slow down, which made Salman's face pale and hid behind George.

When the leader rode in front of George's face, he suddenly tightened his horse's hooves amid the long cry of the horse.

The black giant horse lifted up its upper body, and its hooves swinging in the air were less than a foot away from George. The wind and sand brought by the knights blew on everyone's faces, and Moss was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves and went up to punch the horse to death.

Aji stretched out a hand and grabbed Moss's wrist, stopping him. It seems that Moss is still a long way from being the fifth humanoid BOSS of this shelter.

However, Rona couldn't hold back the furious Princess of Skywrath - her big skewer of meat was covered with dust.

Until a big hand reached out and patted her forehead: "Good child, don't be angry, they are here to treat us to a meal."

This was the first time George took the initiative to talk to 'Milim'.

But it was a cure.

George's words seemed to work. After listening to it, the innocent little girl narrowed her eyes and smiled at George, as if she suddenly felt that this big bad guy who spoke softly was not so annoying. And those guys in front of them didn't hate people so much - after all, they were treating themselves to a meal.

Treating to a meal is not just a pure treat.

They came here to give the people of the Holy Court a warning.
