In the distance in front of him, one after another square array full of iron armor is slowly moving towards the end of the horizon. The first battle between the Norman Empire and the kingdom of Northland ended in the complete victory of the Norman empire.
In this war, tyron William led 30000 troops of the Norman Empire and easily swept the border garrison of the Northland kingdom. At least 3000 Northland soldiers and civilians were slaughtered. However, the price paid by the German Empire for this victory was very small, and even 200 wounded were not filled.
The magic crystal cannon, which has just been exposed on the battlefield, has shown the powerful power of this terrible war machine. It is precisely because of the good performance of magic crystal cannon in this war that tyron William likes this weapon more.
"Let the rear hold on! This weapon should be equipped with every castle and every army!" tyron William urged his horse forward and opened his mouth to a confidant around him. "After this victory, I think Northland will surrender soon."
"When we get back! I want at least a hundred new guns!" he continued as he moved forward. "The next battle will not be so easy! They also have such guns... So the situation of the war can''t be so reversed!"
Not only that, but also the supply problem. It has become extremely difficult to establish the supply line because of the barrier of the Wilson mountains. This is also why the Empire has been reluctant to start for so many years. The last expedition urged by Emperor Keith died in a foreign land because of the interruption of supply.
At this time, in the eagle castle of golgaron, the capital of the Northland kingdom.
"As long as tyron William leads his main force North, our border may be punctured. This is a loss for us, because war will destroy our carefully paved roads and destroy our crops." he pointed to the position of the border with the empire with a very large and detailed military map.
"The best way is to send most of our troops south in advance and gather on the border... Ready to fight at any time," holf said
If it is only a rough plan for tyron William to go north to attack the kingdom of northland, King Gladwell is already making a very accurate battle plan when he is ready to fight the Norman empire.
But who would have thought that the speed of war is important. Tyron''s Imperial Army has moved north and killed off guard to the border of the kingdom of Northland.
On the other hand, in lalma, the capital of kurut Kingdom, a middle-aged businessman blew a hot breath into his hands, wrapped up the fur from the grassland, looked up at the sign above his head, and walked into the rice shop.
The guys inside hurried to meet them. They came to buy rice at this time. They must be very, very rich businessmen. After all, the current price of rice in kurut kingdom is really not cheap.
As long as we wait until the harvest season next year and the new grain is harvested, the rice price will be reduced immediately. If we don''t wait for urgent needs, it is obviously more in line with our interests to consider purchasing grain next year.
However, since the summer, the price of rice, which should have fallen, has become incomprehensible because of the crazy acquisition of Northland kingdom. Now, these grains are really valuable. There are countless businessmen from the kingdom of Northland who come to buy them. People really don''t know what the other party is thinking.
"How much grain does your store have to sell... I''ll take it all." the businessman said his purpose directly without talking nonsense as soon as he entered the door.
The man''s smile stiffened when he heard it. Recently, there are more and more Northland merchants who come to "smash the field". They say they want to buy all the food. It''s like they don''t give others a way to live.
But visitors are guests, and this guy doesn''t want to offend these big businessmen. After all, at this time next year, grain prices may fall, and he has to rely on these businessmen who buy grain to eat.
So he squeezed out a reluctant smile and explained: "Sir, you may not know. Because of the sharp reduction of grain reserves, our king has issued a purchase restriction order. You can only purchase 50 barrels of grain at most..."
Barrel is actually a measure of grain by volume, which is neither accurate nor scientific. However, because all countries have their own weights and measures, such things can only be endured.
Now the kingdom of Northland has begun to popularize new weights and measures, including various length units and weight units, which makes it more convenient for people to use at once. With the wide application of the new figures, all the territories under King Gladwell have made great progress in calculation.
"Can''t you be accommodating?" the merchant pressed a gold coin on the tea table around him, and the golden light dazzled people''s eyes.
"A hundred barrels, this is the biggest business we dare to do." the man looked around, put the gold coin in his pocket and said, "the price is according to this morning. This is the biggest discount."
Everyone knows that we don''t have to worry about selling food now. Everyone is staring at this piece. Local people are driving up prices, while outsiders are frantically buying. The grain stored in rice shops is decreasing sharply, and the kurut Kingdom even begins to fall into a state of local shortage.
"OK!" the merchant was also very talkative. He nodded and agreed to the deal. He stood up and said, "please pack all the grain. I''ll take it away soon."
There was no way. Although he was very distressed, he could only take out his money bag from his pocket and put a pile of gold coins on the table for the other party to examine carefully. Such a hundred barrels of grain may not even be worth a gold coin in previous years, but now it is so expensive. Not only that, in addition to racking their brains to buy a large amount of food, the Northland kingdom is also crazy to buy meat products from the grassland: not only fresh and living cattle and sheep, but even dried meat.
After all, the population of the kingdom of Northland is growing, and King grawell ordered to reserve a large amount of food before winter.
In every rice shop in every corner of kurut Kingdom, there are businessmen of Northland Kingdom who are crazy about buying. They hardly calculate the price. As long as the other party dares to sell, they dare to pay for the food sold.
In the bustling streets of gorgaron, everyone has a happy smile on his face. In the past, this kind of smile was hard to see. Now almost everyone in Northland kingdom is full of hope for the future, so smile is their most common expression.
