Chapter 569: Operation Shalomanda Begins (Part 2)

Reason for war? Just make up something like this.

——Su Cheng/While chatting with deputy leader Willy one day

"Are you the person in charge of this trading point?"

As soon as the trading point boss finished speaking, a woman's voice sounded.

Then, the nearly a hundred soldiers of the Britannia Army used the middle as a boundary and quickly pushed to both sides to make way for a way, revealing a woman standing on the way.

Although this woman was wearing black armor like the soldiers around her, the style of the armor and the decorative patterns on it were different from those of the surrounding soldiers.

It can be seen that this woman's armor is much more advanced than the armor of the soldiers around her.

In other words, this woman is a general and should be the commander of nearly a hundred Britannian Army soldiers.

"I am the squadron leader of the 1st Squadron of the 17th Battalion of the 4th Army of the Knights of Michael—Lindsay." The woman introduced herself and gave the owner of the trading point a military salute of the Britannia Empire. .

"We don't mean to offend you, it's just that some special circumstances have occurred, so we hope you can evacuate here."

As soon as Lindsay finished speaking, the boss's young son asked anxiously:

"Special situation? What happened? Why do we need to evacuate here?"

"Because the war broke out." Lindsay said in a calm tone. "Not long ago, the barbarians living on the Lygasos Mountains revolted and killed the villagers in a small rural village near the mountains."

"After learning about this, His Majesty, the Governor of the North, and our leader were very angry, so they decided to go to war with the mountain barbarians. Now the declaration of war should have been sent to the barbarians on the mountain. Michael Knights The 10,000-strong army has also arrived at the foot of the Lygasus Mountains, and the war is about to begin."

"For your safety, I hope you can evacuate this place as soon as possible."

As soon as Lindsay finished speaking, the boss's son asked again:

"This is impossible! The mountain barbarians came down to cause trouble? They also killed and injured many villagers? How come we didn't know about this? Which villagers did the mountain barbarians kill and injure?"

"Haven't the mountain barbarians and us always been getting along in harmony? How could the mountain barbarians kill and injure our people for no reason! It's too late for them to fight among themselves! How could they provoke us! There must be something wrong with this. ?”

The boss's son's talkativeness seemed to make Lindsay feel a little bored.

"You have so many questions." Lindsay frowned, "I told you to leave quickly. How did you come up with so many words? I don't know which village's villagers were killed or injured."

"Anyway, that's what my superiors told me. Mountain barbarians are a bunch of barbarians.

Everything we think is beyond our comprehension, so what kind of things they do is not surprising, right? "

"Okay, stop talking nonsense with me, pack your bags quickly, and get out of here."

Lindsay's overbearing attitude made the young and energetic boss's son very unhappy.

Just when the boss's son wanted to argue with Lindsay some more, the boss standing next to him covered his son's mouth.

Then he smiled apologetically at Lindsay:

"I'm sorry, my son is still young and ignorant. Please forgive Quanzi for his gaffe and ignorance. We will pack our luggage immediately, close this trading point, and leave here."

When talking about "closing this trading point," the boss emphasized his tone.

After apologizing to Lindsay, the boss glared at his son several times.

Stop talking to me - the boss sent this message to his son with his eyes.

…

The boss also moved very quickly. In less than half an hour, he packed up all the important luggage and supplies at the trading point.

He rode a carriage pulled by two pack horses, pulling all the important luggage and supplies from the trading point, and left here with his son and the few mercenaries he hired.

The boss personally took charge of the carriage and drove the carriage filled with luggage and supplies.

When he was about to leave the trading point, the boss turned back and reluctantly looked at the increasingly smaller trading point behind him, looking at the trading point that his family had been running for countless years.

It wasn't until the trading point disappeared that the boss withdrew his reluctant eyes.

While taking it back, he raised the back of his hand and wiped the tears that had filled his eyes.

"Father!"

At this moment, the young son sitting next to the boss shouted to his father in a dissatisfied tone:

"Should we just leave like this?! Just leave this trading point that our family has been running for countless years?!"

"What else?" As soon as his son finished speaking, the boss asked, "What can we do? Are we going to go against the million-strong army of the Britannia Empire? How many lives and courage do you have? Dare you fight? The Britannian Empire's millions of troops are fighting against it."

The boss's rhetorical question left his son speechless.

The mouth opens and closes, closes and opens again.

Wanting to say something to contradict his father.

But he didn't know what to say to refute what his father just said.

"Son, don't you understand yet?"

The boss let out a sigh full of bitterness and loneliness.

"As early as the end of April, the Britannia Empire began to stockpile supplies and build garrisons and march bases at the foot of the Ligasos Mountains."

"This shows that the Britannia Empire has long wanted to use military force against the mountain barbarians."

"What mountain barbarians killed and injured many villagers? I guess this is probably made up, just a reason for starting a war."

"The reason they drove us away is just because we are an eyesore, not like what they said just now, that they drove us away to ensure our safety."

"An eyesore?" The son cast a puzzled look at his father, "What have we done? Why are we in the way?"

"Because we are trading with the mountain barbarians." The boss said in a deep voice, "Our trading point is the only trading point between the Britannians and the mountain barbarians. The mountain barbarians' important materials such as salt and iron all need to rely on our trading point for supply."

"As long as our trading point is destroyed, we can block the mountain barbarians' only import channel, blockade the mountain barbarians' economy, and cut off the mountain barbarians' supply."

At this point, the boss paused, then smiled bitterly:

"The person who came up with this plan is really cruel, and really intends to beat the mountain barbarians to death."

"They even sent a squadron to drive us away... This is simply a naked threat to us... If you don't want to dismantle the trading point obediently, use swords and guns to help us dismantle it..."

The boss sighed bitterly.

"After this battle, there may be no more mountain barbarians, and we will no longer be able to trade with them... Forget it, just consider it bad luck and dedicate it to the great cause of the country. Let's rely on the wealth we have earned over the years to start a new business."
