Chapter 691 Eric's Calculation
"Black Rock Plain? Your Highness, you are really wise. In this way, we will not only earn a lot of gold coins, but also allow these nobles to guard the border with the orcs for us!"
Humans and Orcs have always had skirmishes.
The main reason is that the number of ethnic groups on both sides is very large, so the land required is also huge.
And the Black Rock Plain is close to the border of the Orc Empire.
Orcs are savage and bloodthirsty, and have a limited talent for farming and creativity.
Therefore, many times, if the orcs are hungry, they will hit the human race.
Although the human race is protected by military cities, some small villages do not have strong city walls.
And only Qianshi is a thief, and there is no Qianshi to prevent thieves, so there are often cases of villages being harassed by orcs.
This is also a common phenomenon in all the principalities of the Holy Alliance bordering the orc territory.
But if these people from the Glory Continent were moved there, wouldn't this kind of thing be solved directly in the future.
Anyway, it is not the people of the Bach Kingdom who will be harassed at that time, and they do not have to worry too much about the Bach royal family.
"By the way, Your Highness, what if these nobles don't want to pay, but choose to go to the Sacred Continent?"
"They didn't dare, and they really did. It's not certain whether these nobles can reach the Holy Land alive. After all, going to the Holy Land requires crossing a long forest..." Prince Eric sneered.
This subordinate Carey was stunned, and immediately remembered the character of his eldest prince.
The eldest prince's smile every day these days has made him almost forget...
...
"Your Majesty, what should we do? Shall we agree?" Back at their camp, the counts immediately turned to King Culver.
"Do you have a better way?" King Culver spread his hands helplessly.
"Your Majesty, what do you think will happen if we go to the Holy Continent by ourselves?"
Earl Feidi was a little unwilling. After the past, not only was he reduced to a viscount, but he also had to pay 20,000 gold coins, which directly emptied his treasury.
"If we do this, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach the Holy Land!" King Culver directly cut off Count Ferdy's thoughts.
The Prince Eric looked friendly, but King Culver didn't think that the imperial prince really had any kindness.
From his pretentious attitude today, he knows that this is what he does to exploit himself and others.
It's just that now I think I and others have other uses besides gold coins, so I didn't grab it.
But if you and others decide to cross by yourself and don't give it any benefits, it is estimated that it may not be able to reach the Holy Continent alive by then.
"Your Majesty, then we can only agree to his conditions?" The earls also thought of what King Culver meant when they heard the words, and finally knew that they and others could only submit.
"It really can only be like this now! You all go out and arrange for your subordinates to return to the territory to arrange this matter. After all, we don't have much time. We will return after the arrangement is completed, and go with me to find that Prince Eric!" The king Culver said to the crowd.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Immediately, the nobles quickly left.
There is really not much time for them, and I don't know if everyone can be evacuated.
"Baron Narrant, wait a minute!"
However, just as Narant was about to leave with Bernard, King Culver stopped him.
Narant heard the words and naturally stayed.
"Baron Narant, have you been to the Holy Continent?"
"Well, yes!" At this time, Narant was not ready to hide it.
"Do you have another passage to the Holy Land?" King Culver smiled.
"Yes, Your Majesty, there is a passage in the depths of the Fire Prairie. I also discovered and opened it a few months ago. However, the other end of the passage is not connected to the Human Race Duchy on the Holy Continent!"
King Culver pondered for a while after hearing the words, and then continued: "Then Narant, can you tell me about the current situation of the Holy Continent? Do you know the Bach Empire?"
"There are many races that we have never heard of on the Holy Land, not only dwarves, orcs, but also elves!"
"In addition, this Bach Empire is one of the six most powerful empires in the Holy Continent..."
At the moment, Narant simply explained the situation of the Holy Continent.
After speaking, Narant looked at King Culver, "Your Majesty, if the nobles are really unwilling, they can choose to go from the Fire Prairie!"
In fact, Narant just wanted to say it.
It's just that he hasn't figured out the consequences of doing so, so he plans to wait until he goes back to discuss with Bernard. Now that King Culver asks, he happens to discuss it together.
"No, Narant, since the Bach Empire is so powerful, all of us must go to the Holy Continent through the northern passage, and we must also pay the Bach Empire!"
"Why?" Narant saw King Culver's firm tone, but he didn't expect it.
"Narant, that Eric obviously wants to benefit from the nobles of our Glory Continent. However, he may have other plans, so he did not directly coerce and snatch it."
"This is why we have to pay him gold coins, because since we have uses other than gold coins, he will definitely arrange a shelter for us on the Holy Continent."
"If we don't go to the Holy Continent through his arrangement, then we will offend the entire Bach Empire!"
"According to what you said, Narant, the Bach Empire is one of the most powerful empires in the Sacred Continent. We offended him, but we have no other backers. The fate of the Sacred Continent is unknown!"
"There is no more gold coins to earn. As long as there is land and people, then we can develop!"
After listening to Narant, he found that what King Culver said really made sense.
Think about it from another perspective. If this place is regarded as the Blue Star of the previous life, if a small country offends the United States, but has no other backers, then the fate of it can be imagined.
And now since this Prince Eric is not a clear grab, then they will have the opportunity to develop again in the future.
"Of course, you should go back first, send someone back to take care of everything in the territory, and come over with the other counts later!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Narant nodded.
Then he walked out of the conference tent.
However, at this moment, Narant has other thoughts in his mind. Eric's behavior makes him not dare to put all his hopes on the Bach Empire.
Although King Culver made a lot of sense, Narant is not really irrelevant in the Holy Continent.
