Chapter 475

How important is yeliucheng to the Randall family?

Randall territory is located in the southwest border of the human kingdom. The poor geographical location makes the Randall territory particularly vulnerable to marginalization. If there were no ant man, Victor would rather close the door and immerse himself in development, trying to be carefree. Since Randall's collar has become the front line against ant people, Victor needs to supplement population, materials and technology to expand the strength of Randall's collar as soon as possible. The long and narrow Buryat collar is the best bridge between victor and the outside world.

More than 80% of the trade activities of Randall family took place in yeliucheng. The refugees absorbed by the Randall family also flow into the Randall collar orderly under the guidance of the Buryat family. In order to ensure the long-term stability of the family trade port and the policy of absorbing population, Victor occupied one seventh of the shops in yeliucheng.

The proportion of shops determines the voice of families in yeliucheng market.

Considering the golden mission strategy, Victor decided to revitalize the trade of Raven town thousands of miles away. He promoted the establishment of a two headed lizard chamber of Commerce for unified purchase and purchase. However, raven town is too far away from Randall's collar, and Randall's bulk commodities are mainly sold through yeliucheng market.

In principle, the Randall family's goods are now sold to the double headed lizard chamber of Commerce, and Victor's shop in yeliucheng is not very important. But in fact, he still had supplies of skylark mountains and Everglades. These goods must pass through the shops in yeliucheng, sell to free people merchants, flow to the black market in major cities and towns, and finally realize the Eastward Strategy of the golden regiment.

The Randall family's loss of the right to speak in the yeliucheng market means the loss of control over free people and businessmen. They can buy goods from shops of other families and resell them. The gold regiment's Eastward Strategy will completely collapse.

The Buryat family planned to expand the yeliucheng market. Victor greeted Judy in advance and asked to win one seventh of the new shops to ensure that the proportion of Randall family shops in yeliucheng remained unchanged.

Today, yeliucheng has convenient transportation, developed trade, abundant materials and dense population. The Buryat family relied on the business of yeliucheng to share the fat and make a lot of money. Victor did not dare to say that it was all his own credit that the Buryat family could have the current situation. He was also the main driving force behind the scenes.

Gillian suddenly said that the shops in yeliucheng new market did not have the share of Randall family. Victor was surprised, angry and suspicious.

Why didn't Judy tell me about the power struggle between the father and mother in the Buryat family?

Victor first suspected that he had been betrayed by Judy, and then guessed that Judy might be kidnapped.

Send off Gillian. On the night Victor returned to Pinghu Town, he immediately recalled old John, who was specially responsible for yeliucheng shops and gangs, and asked about the situation of yeliucheng. Old John said that yeliucheng was calm and there was nothing unusual.

Victor was still worried that in the kingdom of Gambis, the only forces that could frighten count chebman were the royal family and several dukes. The royal family can rule out that count chebman is very close to kite castle. Duke of York and Duke of Wellington have property in wild willow city. They also don't want outsiders to share the commercial dividends of wild willow city. Then only Duke Nim and Duke Joshua are left. If any of them extend their tentacles into yeliucheng, it will arouse the vigilance of count chebman. Because Yeliu city is too close to Tongcheng. It was the territory that count chebman longed for.

The question is, if Duke Nim or Duke Joshua wants to participate in the trade of yeliucheng, why not say hello to Heping lake town first?

It was already clear that they secretly supported primo's parents to fight for power without telling Mrs. Judy, which was a test for victor. If Victor can't take effective measures, Judy will be driven out of the Buryat family.

However, Victor has no energy to deal with yeliucheng now. The timing of their action was just at the beginning of the fishman war.

The mermaid war in the man horse hill began. The performance of the hired soldiers of the Randall family on the battlefield can only be described as miserable!

The battered Victor said nothing. He sent Judy away and rushed directly to the main battlefield of the mercenary Corps.

*********************

In January of the fire season, the weather is getting hot. The scorching sun baked the earth, and the water level of Jinshui River fell, exposing a large area of sun dried beach. Hundreds of fishermen snatched the bodies of the same kind on the beach, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

On the other side of the beach, Randall's craftsmen surrounded a safe area with horse and arrow towers. Centurion Alda was in the security zone, shouting at a group of mercenaries with black cloth tied to his left arm:

"My equipment is the same as yours. I don't have hard armor. I don't have a shield. I don't have a fish man! I don't have a helmet. I don't have a fish man! I don't have any boots, hard armor, hard leg armor... They only have scales that can't stop the fine iron spear, only teeth that can't bite the hard armor, and funny brains and short stature! It is no more difficult for a soldier to deal with three fish people at the same time than to kill three big fish. "

Alda pointed to the arrow tower and shouted, "see... This is the arrow tower. What we have to do is very simple. Go to the beach to kill the fish man, then return to the range of the arrow tower to rest, then kill the fish man, and then return to rest... Isn't it very simple? Some people can't do such a simple thing well! Or some people shrink back and kill their brothers!"

The centurion's eyes flushed and his face roared ferociously: "I'm talking about you 'black belts'! You are as weak as maggots in the cesspit and as disgusting as abscesses on the cow's ass... bah!"

Alda spat on the ground, walked back and forth in front of the deserters murderously, and sneered, "do you know why I chose you to join my team? Because killing you is easier than killing fish people! If you dare to escape, I will kill you all from the back like killing rabbits, and then my squadron can return to rest!"

Alda's eyes made the "black belts" pale and tremble.

"Fortunately, you have met the kind Master Randall. Even if you are killed by me, the master will keep your reputation, bury you in the family cemetery and give your family ten mu of land! If I say, you cowards don't deserve such treatment!"

Alda pulled out a soldier with a red belt on his arm and shouted, "he was wearing a black belt like you yesterday. Today, he has changed into a red belt!"

"Soldier, tell these bastards how you took off the black belt?"

"Obey the order, the black belt first rushes up to the fisherman, and finally returns. As long as you don't sell your comrades in arms, you can take off the black belt!" The soldier raised his chest and answered loudly. He paused and said with a smile, "if you are killed by a fishman, you can also take off the black belt."

"That's right! Whether you are dead or alive, you can take off the black belt as long as you are brave." Alda laughed, patted the soldier on the shoulder and shouted, "warrior, tell these poor people how you wear a red belt?"

"I killed six fishermen yesterday. The army commander personally tied a red belt for me and rewarded me with a silver sol!" Said the soldier proudly.

"Do you hear me? If you kill five fish, you are qualified to wear a red belt! You can get a reward of five copper sols for each fish! There are copper sols everywhere on the beach, waiting for everyone to pick them up!"

Some people in the "black belt" began to shine their eyes and were eager to try.

Alda's voice became hoarse. He untied his water bag, raised his head, poured a few mouthfuls, wiped his mouth, and scolded in a low voice: "shouting to these idiots is more tired than killing fish people." After a pause, he continued to shout, "the brave man takes off the black belt, and the brave and wise man wears the red belt. What is wisdom? Trust your comrades in arms, protect your comrades in arms, rely on your comrades in arms, and use what you have learned! Do you understand?"

"I understand!"

"Let's go!"

Alda put on his helmet, picked up his shield and one handed halberd, and led 90 soldiers across the security line to the beach position. The other two hundred teams were ready to follow. All the "black belts" form a combat formation and are at the front of the team.

When the fishermen on the beach saw the invaders, they rushed over with squeaking and shouting. The two sides collided and fought each other, and the fish man's blood soon dyed the beach red. As the mercenaries came close, more fish appeared in the river, and the battle became anxious. The "black belt" who served as the commando began to suffer casualties. Those who turned and fled were ruthlessly killed by the three centurions and their guards without exception.

On the arrow tower of the camp, Nelson held two pure gold battle axes, looked at the battle below, and said with a happy smile: "I'm comfortable to see those 'black belts' killed! It's good to have all the cowards who killed their comrades in arms dead!"

"Much better than ten days ago."

Wearing pure gold armor, Nicole turned her eyes to Victor nearby, smiled and said, "honey, you still have a way."

Mercenaries are better than fishmen in strength, intelligence, equipment, martial arts and organization, but the cowardice and incompetence of recruits are also unexpected.

The fish man will not run out of the beach, and the fish man war is not aimed at exterminating the fish people. The human army fully controls the intensity and frequency of combat. According to the principle, 500 mercenaries are enough to control a river beach and fight with fishmen. The actual situation was that the mercenaries collapsed on the spot when they saw the dense fishermen jumping ashore from the river. They can't even escape. How can deserters who push each other and squeeze into a group run across the river beach?

Fishmen have always been more and more crazy. A brigade of 500 people died, and all officers and auxiliary alchemy soldiers above Centurion were killed. Nicole and Nelson had to kill the fish man in person.

Mercenary's rule: flee before battle and be beheaded according to the crime!

How? If you really want to kill, 500 people's brigade will die, and more than 3000 mercenaries will be finished immediately. If you don't cut... It's even worse!

The first thing Victor did when he arrived at the beach position was to take the deserters out, tie them with black cloth belts, integrate them into other 100 squadrons and force them to act as cannon fodder. The mercenaries experienced several fierce battles, the deserters almost died, and the survivors changed.

Ten days after the war, more than 400 mercenaries were killed and injured, of which more than 200 were deserters killed by officers. This figure is quite amazing, but it is insignificant in every battle. On the tenth day, the morale of the mercenary Corps was finally stabilized, the combat effectiveness was greatly improved, and the number of casualties per day was controlled within a dozen.

Victor shot a ferocious Fishman 800 meters away, put down his long bow and said: "this Fishman war will last for at least 5 or 6 years... So far, the compensation for the victims of the mercenary Corps has cost me more than 4000 kinsol and nearly 4000 mu of closed land."

Nelson lowered his head and muttered, "if I say, those deserters don't deserve a pension..."

"Pension! Of course... The land is still mine. The pension will still flow into the family treasure house, but the mercenary Corps is no longer the mercenary." Victor looked at the mercenaries who killed the enemy bravely and said with a smile, "bring all the mercenaries here and let them take turns."

Nicole's heart moved and asked softly, "honey, are you leaving?"

"Yes." Victor nodded and said, "last night, pastor Dane of Pinghu Town church sent someone to show me the letter of the priest stationed in yeliucheng. I already know that Duke Nim and Duke Joshua conspired against our Randall family... I'm going to go to Rose Manor to talk about it with Sylvia."

Nicole said anxiously, "madam, if you don't remind you, there must be something difficult for her..."

Just then, one eyed longgru boarded the arrow tower, saluted victor and Nicole, and panted: "Sir, Reverend Dane sent a summons. Master Miller heard about the black belt and wants to settle with you... Reverend Dane can't stop Miller. He asked you to find a way."

Nelson's face changed greatly and hurriedly said, "Sir, don't let father Miller run over!"

Victor smiled and turned to Nicole and said, "I'll go back first... What should you do or what! Anyway, those people are vassal soldiers who died in the war."
