Chapter 146: The "Reliance" Behind the Founding of the People's Republic of China
Brand contacted Mr. Holland not just for a chat.
He also wanted to ask Uncle Anthony if he had any way to deal with the bandit knight.
Regarding this question, Mr. Holland responded:
"You don't have to worry about this. Our sixth infantry regiment of the Kaya Empire will not shrink back when encountering a bandit knight."
Although Holland The elder said so confidently, but Brand still looked hesitant.
But Mr. Holland didn't mean to elaborate.
He talked about another thing:
"If the other party is really a great knight, you can try to find the support behind him."
Brand asked doubtfully: "You mean the knight inheritance he was lucky enough to get?"
" No, I mean what he relied on to build the country."
Mr. Holland explained:
"It is not easy to build a country in a chaotic zone, especially when his citizens are all bandits."
See Brand Somewhat confused, Mr. Holland asked:
"Think about it, what is the main source of wealth for the bandits?"
Brand responded without thinking: "Robbery."
"That's right."
Nodding, Huoland Mr. Rand added:
"Since he wants to lead the bandits to build a country and create order, then robbery must be eliminated. This also means that the bandits' source of income is gone.
They need a new source of income. To replace the original robbery, this is what I call possible reliance!"
Hearing this, Brand understood something.
Mr. Holland fed himself a few peppers and further explained:
"This kind of reliance can be a certain technology, a certain resource, or some other unknown thing.
In short, it must at least be able to In the short term, it will bring more benefits to the bandits than robbery.
If it cannot bring them enough benefits, I don't think the bandits will be willing to obey the order." At
the end of the sentence, Brand looked at the empty screen in front of him. Frowning look.
Mr. Holander smiled again and said:
"Of course, this is just a guess on my part. Bandits face fighting and killing every day. Very few bandits have the vision and thinking of the upper class.
So the greater possibility is that : That bandit was just having a whim, or he didn't understand the difference between a country and a force."
Although Mr. Holland thought it was a small probability event, Brand felt that the probability was not low:
"According to Shiraishi According to the information provided by the city lord, Liuyue City was the boss of this area many years ago, and that city lord should still have some foresight."
Continuing to think along this line of thought, Brand felt more and more that the Liuyue City lord The city lord "has a problem".
Mr. Holland leaned back in his chair and said with a leisurely look:
"So you think he does have something that can be called the foundation of a nation?"
Brand nodded and said:
"The Great Knight is strong enough to survive in chaos. The zone is rampant, and Liuyue City is the boss of this area, so there is no need for him to be secretive about his strength." After a slight pause,
Brand continued:
"I think he may be guarding against others outside the Chaos Zone. Country."
Hearing this, Mr. Holander nodded and said,
"You mean he is worried that after his strength is exposed, it will attract the attention of surrounding countries? And then expose his secrets?" "
That's right!"
Holander The elder smiled and said:
"Then just follow the train of thought and look for it. If you really find something of great value but you can't handle it, I will come to help. But the
other party is most likely to be a great knight. You You still have to be careful."
After chatting with Mr. Holland for a while, the two ended the communication.
As Mr. Holland said, there might be a great knight on the other side, no matter how curious Brand was about the "foundation of a nation" that the Lord of Liuyue City might have.
He now has to wait for Uncle Anthony to come over.
At this time, Brand suddenly remembered that Yersin might also need to contact him.
...
In the intricate stone forest, Yersen was leading the soldiers and bandits in a fierce chase.
Although the number of bandits is not large, they have set various traps in their lair.
Relying on traps and terrain, they caused a lot of trouble for Yersen and the soldiers.
However, as time went by, due to the huge disparity in strength, no matter how hard the bandits tried, they still ended in failure.
Because the battle failed, the bandit leader wanted to escape from the tunnel, but unfortunately, he could not outrun Anderson, a senior knight... After the war, the
two captains frowned and reported the situation to Yersen.
Although the battle went smoothly, many soldiers were injured in the bandits' traps.
In addition to the wounded from previous battles, if it is not properly repaired, I am afraid that I will not be able to continue to march to the next bandit lair.
Hearing such a battle report, Yersin also had a headache.
Most ordinary soldiers are ordinary people. Although they are protected by armor, they are inevitably injured in the traps of bandits.
It is foreseeable that the next bandit's lair will not be much better than the situation here.
Thinking of this, Yersen regretted marching along the wild route of the bandit's lair.
Although the gains in these two days are indeed good, the injuries and attrition are also serious.
"Yersen, look at this!"
Just when Yersen was considering whether to give up and change his route to join Brand to attack the Free City.
Anderson's voice came over.
When he followed the sound and looked over, he saw Anderson dragging a prisoner with one hand and walking toward him with a sheathed magic gold dagger in the other.
Yersin raised his eyebrows when he saw the magic gold dagger in Anderson's hand.
After taking the magic gold dagger in his hand and examining it carefully, he quickly compared it with the magic gold dagger Brand obtained in Core City.
The slight difference is that the scabbard of this short sword is engraved with "Stone Forest Town" instead of "Rock Core City".
Seeing this, Yersin's eyes gradually became serious.
...
In Core City, several captains walked into Anthony's camp with serious expressions and holding two magic gold daggers.
In the past few days, they led their soldiers to conquer the lairs of several bandits around Core City.
But when they returned with the soldiers and exchanged the spoils with their colleagues, they discovered two magic gold daggers that were very similar in shape.
They quickly realized something might be a little unusual.
So they immediately prepared to report the situation to Anthony.
Inside the camp, Anthony frowned slightly as he looked at the two magic gold daggers handed over by his men.
He quickly asked about the interrogation of the bandit prisoners.
Unfortunately, due to strength issues, these captains did not catch the bandit leader.
But ordinary bandits don't know this.
