Chapter 197 The War at the Border
The next few days were quite boring for Li Si.
But for the caravan, this should be the normal state every day. How can a normal caravan encounter danger every day.
Li Si also became familiar with the operations and precautions of his previous adventure while following the White Wolf Mercenary Group in the past few days.
In general, the difference from the game is not very big, and it is probably not much different from the various operations in the game. On the contrary, because there are no reality of reading bars and abnormal states in the game, Li Si feels A little simpler and easier.
Fink, too, after being easily crushed and defeated by Lis that day, shut himself up for the night and returned to his usual state early the next morning.
In other words, his attitude towards Li Si became more enthusiastic.
I have been pestering Li Si these days, and I really want to know how Li Si, who is the same age as him, became so powerful.
Li Si thought for a while, and after obtaining Magath's consent, he began special training with Fink during the break.
Bang~
Li Si suddenly exerted force, and the long sword directly hit the spear in Fink's hand. Fink clenched the trembling spear with both hands, and couldn't help but jump back a few steps before the impact was eliminated.
"You are so strong, Moriarty."
Fink rubbed his wrist and said to Li Si.
"Your body is quite strong. How do you train it?"
Li Si made a handsome show of swordplay and put the long sword back into the scabbard.
"It's nothing special. It's just a physical training technique practiced with everyone in the mercenary group. Do you want to see it?"
Fink took out a pamphlet from somewhere and handed it to To Li Si.
Li Si took it and took a look. The booklet was called "White Wolf Body Training Technique". It seemed to be the exclusive body training technique of the White Wolf Mercenary Group.
After flipping through it briefly, Li Si returned the pamphlet to Fink.
It has been confirmed that it is from the street.
For players who have just entered the game, this is a relatively precious body-building technique, which can improve physical fitness and provide certain attribute values, but for Li Si, it is just like that.
And Li Si looked at it and found that there was nothing special about it.
The other members of the White Wolf Mercenary Group do not have such extraordinary physical fitness as Fink, so Fink's specialness should be due to him.
In this case, it is not a matter of short time.
Li Si stretched out and wanted to go back to the carriage and continue lying down.
It's not that Li Si is lazy, it's just that after verifying his idea, he should continue to seize the time to study arcana.
It is already noon, and the October sunshine is still a bit hot.
Other mercenaries came to replace Li Si and others, and the caravan behind them also took a short rest on the roadside.
The guys in the caravan were busy feeding the animals in the caravan, and others also took the time to sit aside and rest for a while.
As the caravan gradually moved away from the Bright City, the population began to gradually become sparse, and the guards and mercenaries accompanying the caravan gradually began to increase their vigilance.
Li Si followed Magath to the small carriage belonging to the White Wolf Mercenary Group. This is Magath's personal property and is equipped with the luggage and sundries of the mercenary group. Normally, just arrange a mercenary to guard it. Most people Still have to rely on foot strength.
After all, the labor of animals is still relatively precious. When the caravan is moving forward, there is no car available for people to rest.
Magath also took out some dry food and water from the car, and everyone ate hastily to replenish their strength. There is still half a day of travel in the afternoon! Li Si thought for a while and took out some pastries from the storage ring to share with everyone.
The mercenaries of the White Wolf Mercenary Group looked a little strange, but they still accepted the pastry, which was obviously too delicate.
As for Fink, he thanked Lees curtly and then devoured it.
In the afternoon, Li Si said goodbye to Fink and others, claiming that the adults had arranged other work for him and that he could no longer follow them.
Fink was a little regretful, but he still thanked Li Si for his teachings these days.
Magath and others also had regretful looks on their faces, and they didn’t know who it was for.
After Li Si returned to the carriage, he sat down and shook his head. Was it really too early to meet Fink?
Not much has been gained these days.
But Li Si has a very good mentality. Nothing can go as he wants. This can be regarded as a foreshadowing for the future.
After a while, the caravan began to move slowly towards the north again. As the vehicle swayed slightly, Li Si closed his eyes again and immersed himself in the world of arcane magic.
While Li Si's caravan was moving forward silently, the rest of the Fanor continent was not peaceful.
——
The border between the Kingdom of Fes and the Kingdom of Berdych, the Dukedom of Mackay.
This is one of the most important transportation routes between the Kingdom of Fes and the Kingdom of Berdych. Every year, many merchants pass through here, bringing special products from other parts of the mainland to the Kingdom of Berdych. Bring the seaside specialties of Berdych Kingdom back to Fes Kingdom.
As the Kingdom of Fes has continued to grow in recent years, its strong military strength has ensured the safety of caravans traveling to and from the Kingdom of Fes. This has also made the commercial trade of the Kingdom of Fes, which relies on the Gedo River, increasingly prosperous. .
More and more caravans choose to come to the Kingdom of Fes, bringing goods from their hometown here and purchasing specialties from other regions.
This spontaneous behavior of merchants has also led to a gradual increase in the total amount of goods sold from the Kingdom of Fes to the Kingdom of Berdych, far exceeding the value of goods sold by the Kingdom of Berdych to the Kingdom of Fes.
In the eyes of the kings and nobles of the Berdych Kingdom, this is tantamount to exploiting their wealth and plundering their resources. How can they endure this with their short-sightedness?
They never thought that although they were a country on the east coast of Fanor and had an excellent seaport that the Kingdom of Fes coveted, they never considered better development of trade, but were only satisfied with providing money to their citizens. Collect high taxes to support their luxurious lifestyle.
What’s even more funny is that they are obviously aware that the Kingdom of Fes is making their wealth through trade, but they have not taken any meaningful measures to resist.
Instead, they chose to increase customs clearance taxes at the border.
When the Kingdom of Fes also chose reciprocal sanctions and increased tariffs, they couldn't stand it.
Without the goods shipped from the Kingdom of Fes, their luxurious life would be greatly affected.
It can only be said that the entire ruling class of the Berdych Kingdom is almost completely rotten.
Even so, they know that being next to a powerful Fes Kingdom is harmful to them. threatening.
So they chose to accumulate a considerable number of troops in the Dukedom of Mackay at the border with the Kingdom of Fes.
After all, the Berdych Kingdom faces the sea to the east and poses no threat.
After King Berdych made such arrangements, he thought he had nothing to worry about and continued to have fun in the royal capital.
Beru City, the most important city in the Dukedom of Mackay, serves as the trade and military core on the western border of the Berdych Kingdom, but now it is no longer as prosperous and lively as it used to be.
A flag with a bloody sword fluttered above the city head of Beru City.
