Chapter 144

The disadvantage is that in the current situation, the priority of the Full Moon Leader being attacked by aquatic creatures will become higher.

Due to its infiltration of the enemy, Rand has always taken the initiative in intelligence.

For example, now, Rand already knows that these small and medium-sized nobles in the south have successfully reached agreements with several Naga tribes, and will soon launch an attack on the three pioneer viscounts of the Frost Moon Kingdom.

But in the current situation, Rand cannot pass the released Baron who has been loyal to Rand to the decision of the Anti-Travel Committee.

For example, now, as the Snow Fox Eagle continues to refresh her record, Rand's danger is gradually increasing for the Anti-Travel Committee.

Now Rand has basically confirmed that the Naga tribe will bypass Perot, who has not yet dealt with the trouble of territory, and give priority to attack Rand's Full Moon Gate.

This is quite troublesome.

Rand had asked the blacksmith shop in the den to completely stop private business and start producing harpoons and spears.

The Naga tribe is not only Naga. The Naga tribe usually enslaves some fishmen as coolies and cannon fodder. Therefore, if the Naga tribe fights, it must consider facing the issue of Naga and fishmen at the same time.

Most fishmen have not high intelligence, but their physical fitness is not bad. The physical fitness of adult fishmen on the ground is similar to that of adult humans.

However, the fishman has scale protection, and the scales can block the damage of weapons to a certain extent. At least the weapon with poor quality will not be effective if it is cut up.

But fishmen need to stay moist, and if they stay on the ground for a long time, their scales will dry and crack.

Then there is Naga.

Some of the female Nagas can become spellcasters, while the rest mostly use some kind of bow and arrow that can also be used in the ocean, and the specific principle is unknown.

Most male Nagas have a majestic physique far exceeding adult human males and tough scales of the Kansia dragon species. Among them, the best ones can resist ordinary sword slashing.

Just talking about occupational rating, the Naga race is similar to the Tauren. The elite-level adult Naga can basically be compared with the superior human profession.

Moreover, due to its inherently hard scales, humans have a lower chance of survival against Naga in case of bad weapons than against Taurus.

But Naga also has to live in a wet place.

But it is not irresistible. Scales have better defense against chop damage, but their defense against puncture damage is very average, not even comparable to wooden armor.

Therefore, the spear and the harpoon with a handle are much more useful when facing the fishman and Naga than the sword and axe.

Moreover, the army led by the Full Moon had about 80 people equipped with iron armor. As long as the number on the opposite side was not particularly large, it would not be more troublesome.

Unfortunately, there are no more. The speed of iron ore and metallurgy, as well as the forging speed of blacksmiths, all limit production capacity.

Even though Rand has chosen to make a relatively fast armor, this is still because Rand knows that the Snow Fox Earl really goes to the battlefield of the gold mine war instead of planning to adjust the iron armor on the defense line after he gets in the air. The result of the full moon.

Now Rand decided to make further arrangements.

After transferring Taner back for a while, Rand planned to ask him how to deal with the cooperation of Torch Church. According to Rand's judgment, Taner should be an apostate knight of Torch Church and should know some of the internal situations of Torch Church.

Ask Taner, you can also avoid getting stuck in the process of cooperation.

Transfer Sele to the defense line, and half of the remaining defense line's troops to the Full Moon Leader, and accept the command of Fenris.

As for the remaining defense forces, it is intended to send a message to the villages in the rear when the enemy appears, rather than sticking to the defense line.

Now Rand's strategic focus has changed to conquer the Full Moon Glory and the surrounding areas.

Moreover, there seems to be no crisis on the defense line at the moment. The restraint between the two alliances in the South has gradually disappeared, and they will soon fight fiercely again.

...

Bishop Kahn did not live in the residence arranged by Rand, but chose a house in the resort villa to rent it.

His purpose was to learn the principles of economic development here, so he naturally could not live in the house arranged by the lord to enjoy it, otherwise he would not learn anything.

However, Bishop Kahn did not treat himself badly, such as choosing the lowest-level thatched hut. His choice was a brick house with a relic decoration style.

The quality of the brick is very good, does not leak air, and is also good at isolation from the outside sound and temperature.

Bishop Kahn is very old, but as a senior professional, he does not need anyone to take care of like an ordinary old man.

In fact, if Rand gave him a maid, he would accept it, but he found that the profession of maids in this crescent moon collar was not popular, and he did not see the maid serving Rand when he was in the lord's hall.

What a pity.

After putting his luggage in the rented house, he changed into a new outfit.

This time he came, he brought several entourages, but Bishop Kahn asked them to rent a house here and experience life here.

And Bishop Kahn is not going to act with them.

First, tidy up your room and when I go out again, it is already evening.

At this time, the cooking competition had completely ended and the venue was demolished to avoid affecting traffic.

But there are still many people on the road, some are walking in a hurry, while others are wandering aimlessly.

Bishop Kahn belongs to the category of wandering around aimlessly.

His primary goal is the market.

The market is divided into two parts, part of the bulk goods trade, and in this part are traders who come and go, and now there are wars everywhere. There are not many business trips here, but there are also many.

The other part is a scattered fair, and there are many stalls rented for adventurers.

As long as taxes are paid, Rand does not prohibit adventurers from selling their own outputs in the ruins, although most adventurers will still sell goods to unified buyers at dens.

However, there are also some items that can be sold at a price slightly, and adventurers will come to the market to sell them.

However, the market is not just adventurers. In addition to directly connecting with the den and conducting bulk trade, some merchants also sell in scattered markets.

Also, nearby villagers will come to sell some local specialties.

It's still quite lively.

Bishop Kahn took out a notebook, wrote down everything he saw, and drew a rough market structure diagram, and finally wrote a summary: fair and transparent taxation, a relaxed and kind environment, and a stable order. .

These are all not available in many noble territories, and even in royal cities in some countries, but it is not difficult for the Torch Church to do this.

He can probably understand some of the governance principles.

Torch Church is indeed not very good at economic governance, but it does not mean that Torch Church has no economy at all. Whether it is the church's labor dispatch or the sale of specialties that eliminate evil spirits, they all have income.

But the economic pillar of the Torch Church in the past was still donated by the nobles and royal families.

Bishop Kahn did not stay in this market too much. He had nothing else to do in the Frost Moon Kingdom. He could study here for a long time and did not need to rush to achieve success.

Now he plans to go to the tavern recommended by Rand.

Bishop Kahn declined Rand's kindness to arrange a guide for him, but also learned about the situation of the resort from Rand.

He also discovered that this is the birthplace of prepared juice and distilled ale.

No wonder the juice recommended by Rand to him during the cooking competition was much better than what he tasted in Frost Moon King City.

The decoration style of the tavern is very retro. The main body and decoration of the building are both wooden. Only the configuration of the lamps is not retro, because the ruins are all used.

It was very lively. Bishop Kahn had only encountered such lively scenes in taverns in certain port cities.

But most of the taverns in port cities are laborers at the docks, and the air is always filled with the smell of sweat.

The dock workers also fucked their throats and told vulgar jokes.

And here is full of adventurers with different weapons, equipment, professions, and even races.

The last time Bishop Kahn saw so many adventurers gathered together, it was in a cooking competition.

This is simply a scene that only appears in a picture book of the story. Bishop Kahn also read this kind of novel picture book when he was a child.

What adventurer defeats the dragon and wins the princess so that there will be a similar scene in this tavern.

And the maid here is actually an elf.

Bishop Kahn's eyes lit up. For humans, the free elves are almost the same as monsters, and can basically be judged as enemies.

But obviously these two elf maids are not free.

It looks good, too.

Bishop Kahn looked at the front desk for a while and ordered a glass of iced distilled ale.

Soon an elf maid brought the ale to her table.

Bishop Kahn coughed twice and said in a standard elf saying, “…&*￥&…”

The elf maid turned her face and said, "Customer, if there is nothing else, I won't bother you."

Bishop Kahn was not discouraged and poured the iced ale into his mouth.

——If you make specialties for sale to develop the economy, Torch Church obviously cannot do something that looks very low-cost, but its taste is far beyond similar products.

If you like Conan, come and have a look! "Man in Conan, with a Brain Option System" is a fan of Conan's original plot.

Chapter 215 Military conflict and conceptual conflict

Perot received a letter from his father.

The content of the letter was very harsh and demanded that he should stop Viscount Rand from the iron ore taken by Crescent Moon as soon as possible.

Then he said that the second batch of support was already on the way, and asked him to handle the matter of opening up the territory and set off for the Crescent Corridor immediately.

The current Flying Fox Earl's increase in troops to Perot is in line with the current internal policies of the Frost Moon Kingdom.

At the beginning, the three Viscounts of the Viscounts were only experimental. If the Southern Kingdom responded fiercely, the three Viscounts of the Viscounts would immediately give up and return to the country.

But obviously, the only small and medium-sized nobles who are now strongly resisting are the small and medium-sized nobles who are closer to the Southern Kingdom and the Frost Moon Kingdom.

Therefore, the Frost Moon Kingdom has already keenly touched the wind direction and has begun to prepare for vigorous exploration of the south.

If it weren't for the sudden increase in military pressure in the northern border, the Frost Moon Kingdom's current development of the southern kingdom would not be the only scale now.

But even so, the domestic Knights Conference has been prepared and will be held soon.

After that, many pioneer knights will enter this land.

With the current change in the wind direction, it is very normal for Earl of Flying Fox to increase troops for Perot, and Earl of Bucks to increase troops for Shelan.

To be precise, it's just about to put all the money in the market.

Naturally, Rand did not have an Earl's father to support him, which seemed a bit unfair, but this was the case in this world.

It is already very unfair to other nobles that Rand, a new viscount, can also obtain such pioneering qualifications. The sons of the Earl of the Frost Moon Kingdom are not only Shelan and Perot.

After reading the letter, Perot wrote a reply letter on the table and said to his entourage, "Leave it to the messenger."

It is theoretically a pleasure to obtain support from troops and materials, as well as manpower.

But Perro was not happy because he didn't want to face Rand, even if he was about to have a great military advantage.

But when the Snow Fox Earl against Rand, she also had an advantage in military strength, right?

Recent situations have further proved Rand's difficulty.

Everyone started to expand the territory from scratch, and he and Shelan had the advantage of military strength, but after a while, before they had finished handling the territory affairs, the Full Moon Territory had already had the extra troops to help them suppress the bandits. .

Perot didn't know the specific situation of the Full Moon Lottery, but it didn't prevent him from being vigilant.

Fortunately, starting from his pioneering territorial, if we want to attack the crescent territorial, there are very few sections of roads that need to pass through the full territorial. The only troublesome thing is that the defense line cannot be avoided.

If you want to bypass another great nobleman, the risk is far beyond directly attacking the defense line.

According to his estimate, no matter how much Rand's troops expand, there are not many troops on the defense line now.

At the same time, the Naga tribe's army had already landed in the water.

There are three Naga tribes dispatched this time, and if the troops are included in the cannon fodder fishmen, the number will exceed 1,000.

The relationship between the three Naga tribes is not very good. They have had frictions to compete for the soil for survival, but due to the threat of humanity, they have maintained basic cooperation.

And now, there is obviously a conflict between humans.

There are not many water bodies suitable for Naga to survive on the nearby coast, so there are only three of them nearby Naga tribes. Originally, the human nobles here were very united, at least when facing them.

Naga has always been very comfortable in life. They have a certain advantage over humans near the coast, but if they are a little further away from the coastline, they have no choice but to use humans.

If they can take the opportunity to eliminate more humans in the conflict between humans, even if the cunning human aristocrats fail to fulfill their promises afterwards and give them the good benefits they had made before, they will be much better in the future.

All in all, the fewer humans, the better they live.

Therefore, even though there are considerable risks, they still left the ocean and launched an attack on humanity.

But there is a small problem now. Although their physical structure is not particularly unsuitable for land, their life experiences are not very suitable for the current situation.

They spend most of their time in the coastal and in the ocean, almost never far away from the body of water.
