"In less than ten days, the business alliance went from losing two cities to the collapse of the Trimble Kingdom's 50,000 army and regained the entire territory, and counterattacked and occupied the two counties of the Trimble Kingdom. So now more than a month has passed, and the Trimble Kingdom should be destroyed. Is it gone?" El asked from the side.
Dolles curled his lips: "What, I can't understand this battle anymore. When I came, the army of the Commercial Alliance was confronting the Allied Forces of the Four Nations. Invite to come to the rescue and drive the Merchant Alliance army out of the country.
However, the Allied Forces of the Four Nations claimed that they were here to mediate, and they blocked the way of the commercial alliance army to separate the armies of the two countries so as not to hurt their peace if they fought again. There was nothing to say about this sideline. Everyone knew that the Trimble Kingdom's army was really vulnerable. If Trimble VII hadn't paid a big price, who would want to offend the business alliance. "
"Then there was no conflict between their two armies?" Josk interjected. He was quite knowledgeable and had never heard of such a ridiculous war.
"Is it possible? The defense of the mob in the Commercial Alliance is alright. No one wants to let them attack the enemy's heavily guarded defensive formation. They are going to the Trimble Kingdom to earn military exploits and search the rich Trimble Kingdom by the way. Noble territories, properties in manors and castles. No one is a fool, and no one is willing to die. Now the president of the Double-headed Dragon Chamber of Commerce, Combat Wright, is negotiating urgently with the leaders of the four-nation coalition to see what will happen. Conditions can allow them to withdraw their troops and ignore the war between the Trimble Kingdom and the Merchant Alliance..."
"My lord, you don't know. When I came, the army of the Commercial Alliance had already occupied the seven counties of the Trimble Kingdom, almost half of the country, but they had never fought a serious battle. They were not the defenders of the Trimble Kingdom. As soon as the flags of the Commercial Alliance were scattered, the local nobles raised a white flag to surrender. There was even a county captain who sent someone to tell Chairman Camberlett that as long as he was rewarded with the beautiful daughter of the lord, he would start The gate of the city let the army of the business alliance enter the city, and the president agreed... "
Dolles spoke dryly, picked up a large glass of water on the table and drank it in big gulps.
Fatty Shi bumped in. He just came back from the inspection of the construction site. When he heard that there was a war between the Trimble Kingdom and the Commercial Alliance, he became anxious. His father is a glass agent in the Trimble Kingdom. Can the whole family be safe
Dolles didn't understand this truth, and before Fatty Shi could speak, he said, "Don't worry, Brother Shi, your whole family is fine. Your father is like an old fox. I used all the money to buy glass in several warehouses. I asked him why he bought so much glass. Your father said that glass, as long as it is not broken, will not be spoiled. Wait until the Peterson Chamber of Commerce opens up a maritime business to the adults. He is going to entrust the Peterson Chamber of Commerce to transport all the glass to the Northland, not to mention ten times the price, three or four times the price, and it will be worth it."
Fatty Shi was finally relieved to hear that his family members were fine, but then he also blushed when he heard that his father was planning to go to the family territory to earn money, and he looked embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
Everyone in the room laughed.
Lorist patted Fatty Shi on the shoulder and said: "It's okay, uncle is a wonderful man. I welcome him to open a store in our family territory and do business to make money. As long as he doesn't violate the family rules and doesn't bully others, it doesn't matter how much money he can make." His ability. If he does well, I can let him sell our family's special products as an agent."
"Okay, Dolles, you can continue talking about the war in Trimble Kingdom."
"Yes, my lord." Dolles thought for a while and said, "The number of commercial alliance troops that have invaded the Trimble Kingdom has reached as many as one hundred thousand, because they found that the Trimble Kingdom is just an empty shell, only covered with fat The meat had no bones, so everyone wanted to go up and take a bite. Almost all the mercenaries in Morente City went there, even the old Gary Lando of the Red Crow Tavern was unwilling to be lonely, and set up a joint with Ledos and the others. What kind of mercenary group rushed over to make a fortune, according to Sister Louise, they were going to raid the homes of those noble manors in the countryside.
Trimble VII, who had only one nerve in his mind, finally found himself out of play, and finally woke up in the face of the situation where the enemy army was overwhelmingly suppressing the country and was about to subjugate the country. While ordering the famous general and proud Earl Edmund of the Trimble Kingdom who ran back naked to be hanged on the gallows, he sent special envoys for help to neighboring countries all over the world to ask them to rescue the Trimble Kingdom.
Trimble VII, while sprinkling gold coins for reinforcements, instructed his envoys to publicize the so-called business alliance threat theory in neighboring countries, accusing the business alliance of losing the former Chrissen Empire, a powerful enemy in the north. The eyes of expansion have been shifted to these countries around the world, and the Trimble Kingdom is the first victim, so the countries around the world must be vigilant and unite to stop the ambition of the business alliance, otherwise it will be the next one to be invaded They are all over the country.
To be honest, Trimble VII is also very difficult to deal with. He has been a king for more than 20 years. Trimble VII finally breathed a sigh of relief and could sleep soundly.
However, Trimble VII still thinks that the coalition forces that came to the rescue are not strong enough. The special envoys he sent are still running around, lobbying more surrounding countries to send troops to join the coalition forces, and then drive back the troops of the business alliance. It is best to keep fighting Go to the city of Morente and force the Business Alliance to sign a surrender agreement. He thinks that his request is not high, but that the business alliance is not allowed to get involved in the production of glass, and the tax exemption and preferential treatment for the glass of the Trimble Kingdom will remain as usual... "
"Day, isn't that too demanding? This King Trimble VII really has only one tendon in his brain, and he is still holding on to the glass at any time now." El commented.
"Who says it's not..." Dolles echoed and continued: "This request made the coalition forces who came to the rescue dumbfounded. The Business Alliance has clearly rejected Trimble VII's request. They proposed that the two sides cease fighting, But Trimble VII must apologize and make compensation for the attack on the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce and the invasion of the Commerce Alliance. That is to say, the business alliance is not going to return these seven counties, but wants to bring them under its own jurisdiction...
Now the leaders of the Allied Forces of the Four Nations are very troubled. There are only 47,000 of them in total. Facing the 100,000 troops of the Commercial Alliance, the pressure is not ordinary. Although accepting the benefits of Trimble VII does not mean that they are willing It was wishful thinking to fight against the army of the Commercial Alliance, especially Trimble VII, who wanted them to counterattack to Morente City. They negotiated with President Camberlet of the Two-headed Dragon Chamber of Commerce in order to end the war as soon as possible, and then return with a large number of benefits.
It's just that they don't know that Chairman Camberlet is also very troubled. Most of the hundreds of thousands of troops under his command don't obey his orders. They only know how to toss hard in the seven counties of the occupied Trimble Kingdom. The army of the commercial alliance is only the armed brigade of the seven chambers of commerce and the city defense brigade. The light cavalry patrol brigade is reliable, but these people add up to less than 30,000. Because they are afraid of being attacked by the Allied Forces of the Four Nations, they also adopted defensive arrangements...
The current situation in the Kingdom of Trimble is defense versus defense, negotiation versus negotiation. The Morente Daily is already ridiculing this war as a sit-in war, and I don’t know how long it will be delayed. "
No one expected that the sit-in war would last as long as three months. When Dolles left Morente City, the sit-in war had only started for more than ten days.
"Are you sure that the seven giants of the business alliance are now focusing on the Trimble Kingdom, even the Chickard Chamber of Commerce? They won't make any plans for our family's Hilovas Island territory in the near future?" Loris Special question.
"Yes, my lord." Dolles replied: "When I boarded the ship, I just saw that the Double-headed Dragon Chamber of Commerce, the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce, the Peterson Chamber of Commerce and the Chickard Chamber of Commerce each sent an additional one to the Trimble Kingdom. Reinforcements from the brigade. For the remaining three of the seven giants, the Ford Chamber of Commerce is receiving the Prigas Province of the Principality of Roulum, the Chamber of Commerce of Liward is stepping up to persuade the Principality of Mobia to follow the Principality of Rulm and merge into the business alliance, and Vicia The Chamber of Commerce is hesitating, they have invested too much in the Ridleys Kingdom, and they are not reconciled to letting go."
"By the way, my lord, when I came here, President Peterson secretly told me that the Chickard Chamber of Commerce originally wanted to invite eight great sword masters above the second level to attack and kill you. They killed the masters of one of their ships and killed them..." Dolles remembered an important thing.
"What did you say?" El, Josk and the others were startled and jumped up: "You should have said something earlier about such an important thing..."
"Hehe, it's all right." Dolles waved his hand and said with a smile: "The Chicod Chamber of Commerce's plan cannot be realized. Because the high-end force of the business alliance is now running to the Trimble Kingdom, even the Chicod Chamber of Commerce's plan Great Sword Master is no exception."
"Are you sure?" Fatty Shi frowned and said, "What does the war in Trimble Kingdom have to do with those great sword masters? Besides, isn't President Camberlet of the Two-Headed Dragon Chamber of Commerce not carrying enough high-end force? Chick Is the German Chamber of Commerce trying to make a fool of yourself? My lord, you must pay attention to your own safety in the future. A great swordsman is easy to deal with, but it is terrible to be afraid of them swarming up. Tigers are also afraid of wolves... "
"Well," Dolles nodded: "Speaking of which, it was Trimble VII's fault. With the Allied Forces of the Four Nations standing in front of the Army of the Commercial Alliance, he is going to reorganize the armaments of the Kingdom of Trimble. But the problem It was the Kingdom of Trimble that had been at peace for nearly two hundred years, and the army was extremely cowardly and vulnerable. Moreover, the kingdom's Golden Knights, who were the backbone of the military force, were all lost when he attacked the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce.
Without these brave military nobles, the kingdom's soldiers would have no qualified commanders. Even if a group of lions were handed over to those timid nobles, they would be turned into a herd of sheep. After realizing this mistake, Trimble VII changed his course and made a strange move. Since my army can't reach the enemy's combat power, it's okay to pull the enemy's combat power to the same level as our army.
So Trimble VII hired people to attract those high-end combat forces in the surrounding countries, not to ask them to join the Trimble Kingdom army, but to let them come to assassinate the golden swordsmen and great swordsmen in the business alliance army. A sky-high reward was offered. Killing a golden knight gives 10,000 gold points, killing a first-level swordsman gives one hundred thousand gold points, killing a second-level swordsman gives 200,000 gold points, and killing a third-level swordsman gives 500,000 gold points..."
My god, this reward is scary enough, now even Lorist is thinking about going to the Trimble Kingdom to earn several million Goldfords and come back...
"Is it effective?" Al asked suspiciously.
"Yes!" Dolles replied decisively: "In the short seven or eight days since Trimble VII issued the reward to my boarding the ship, nine golden swordsmen in the business alliance have died. But these nine golden swords The soldiers were either the head of the mercenary regiment or the captain of the militia of Morente City organized by themselves. When they went to the manors of the Trimble Kingdom nobles in the countryside to search for property, they were targeted. Not only did they die, but they also brought them with them All the people in the past were killed except for a few lucky ones who escaped back.
In addition, a first-level swordsman of the armed brigade of the Liward Chamber of Commerce was also assassinated. According to the announcement issued by the Trimble Kingdom, it was Zhou Bian, a duke of the Duchy of Delia. For what the sword master did, they have already received a bounty of 100,000 Jinford.
President Camberlet of the Two-headed Dragon Chamber of Commerce was furious, so he sent someone to the camp of the Allied Forces of the Four Nations to question the commander of the Principality of Delia. The commander smiled bitterly and said that he didn't even know that the two great sword masters of the Principality had come here Well, I really can't blame him for this matter, but I can only blame Trimble VII who gave rewards indiscriminately. You must know that the income of a first-level great swordsman who became an enshrinement in the Principality for a year did not exceed five or six thousand gold merits. No wonder they were tempted by the bounty offered by Trimble VII.
The day before I came back, the Morente Daily published the news that President Camberlet was assassinated. Luckily, he was not injured, and instead killed the three great sword masters who came to assassinate him. Because the bounty Trimble VII gave to the Big Seven was as high as one million gold fords, and because President Camberlet was the commander of the commercial alliance army, his bounty was the highest, 1.5 million gold fords. The identities of the three assassins who were killed have been found out, and they are also great sword masters who have traveled to several countries... "
"I'm worried about my dead old uncle..." Al said.
Dolles smiled: "Don't worry, Lao Jia's old brain is not confused, he is smarter than anyone else. He knew it was not good as soon as Trimble VII issued a reward, and took Ledos and the others back to Morente City. This time they plundered two manors, brought back a large amount of fine wine, made a lot of ill-gotten wealth, and now they are happily continuing to be the owners of the Red Crow Tavern."
"Then the business alliance didn't take countermeasures against Trimble VII's move?" Fatty Shi asked.
"No way..." Dolles shook his head: "I thought about it for several days on the return ship, and I also felt that how to counteract it is indeed very difficult. If the bounty is also paid, the Kingdom of Trimble, except for the third-level great sword There are not many high-end combat powers between masters and second-level great sword masters. If you want to offer a reward, you don’t know who to offer a reward to. As for Trimble VII, this single-minded guy from the business alliance feels that it’s too embarrassing to care about him Now, if he is also marked with a reward of 1.5 million goldfords, he will be laughed out of his teeth. Moreover, in the eyes of those in the business alliance, Trimble VII is already crazy, worthless, and no one wants to pay this money...
As for those who came to assassinate the high-end fighters of the business alliance, they came from neighboring countries. The business alliance can't offer rewards to them without evidence, right? Isn't that adding enemies to itself? Even if there is evidence, it is useless. If others say that this is what those great sword masters did on their own, they will completely dismiss it. So Trimble VII's move was right and wrong, which made the business alliance extremely embarrassed. There was no other way but to recruit high-end combat power to the front line to strictly guard it.
It is said that the grand duke of a neighboring country who came to mediate accused Trimble VII of doing so to intensify the conflict. The business alliance has already declared that the Trimble Kingdom will not stop. Trimble VII triumphantly declared that as long as he spent 20 million goldfords, he could wipe out all the high-end combat power of the business alliance. At that time, it will be the business alliance that will seek peace, how can we destroy the Trimble Kingdom... "
"Oh my god! This is purely throwing money at people!" El sighed regretfully: "It's a pity that I'm not a great swordsman, otherwise I would go to Trimble Kingdom to earn money..."
Military scientists who later compiled the history of the Galintia Continental War accused the Ford Merchant Alliance and the Kingdom of Trimble during the eight-month-long Glass War as if it were a village fight that didn't happen. It is very unfair to have a formal offensive and defensive battle, field battle and general battle.
They ignored the assassinations, ambushes, lures, and exterminations among the high-end combat forces whose numbers were very small. When the Trimble Kingdom fell, the number of high-end combat forces that fell in this glass war reached seventy-six People, far exceeding the loss of high-end combat power in normal large-scale battles by more than ten times. Among them, fifty-two gold swordsmen died, most of them belonged to the business alliance, and twenty-four great swordsmen died. The business alliance had the upper hand, and they only lost seven.
In fact, in the Glass War, the contest of high-end combat power has become the mainstream of the war due to the unintentional measures taken by Trimble VII. force. This was a contest that lasted more than half a year, and finally the business alliance won.
Without these high-end combat capabilities, the Trimble Kingdom and its seven neighboring countries were like a dam eaten away by termites. Under the flood-like attack of the more than 100,000 troops of the Business Alliance, they fell apart and collapsed. went to perdition.
"It's normal for you and those people who rely on your family to come back on the boat of the Peterson Chamber of Commerce, but why did the Peterson Chamber of Commerce send a vice president to bring some people over? What plans do they have? Have you communicated on the boat?"
After talking about the war between the Merchant Alliance and the Trimble Kingdom, Lorist asked Dolles that he had ordered people from the Peterson Chamber of Commerce to rest in the guest room of Wanghai Manor and come back at night. Give them a feast.
"I don't know," Dolles recalled, "President Peterson on the boat is most concerned about what specialties and commodities are needed in the Northland. Since he didn't inquire about our family's military situation, I chose Talk to him about the tide of monsters and the iron-spine crocodile in the black mud swamp. I think he wants to monopolize the sea trade route with our family."
"Strange, isn't the Petersen Chamber of Commerce planning to use the northwest region of the Ridleys Kingdom as their Chamber of Commerce territory? That's why I was told last time in Morente City that we can't do business directly with our family because we belong to the Antinac Kingdom. The nobles. They are secretly boycotting and blocking the commodity trade with the Antinac Kingdom. Now it seems that they have changed their minds. Forget it, don’t think about it, just talk to the vice president after the banquet to find out what’s going on Already." Lorist shook his head, as if he could get rid of all the unreasonable problems.
