Chapter 369 Sangbia's Response

When the sky is dark.

The inventory is completely completed.

Fifty-three boxes of gold coins alone were counted, each box containing 10,000 Nubao, plus scattered silver coins and copper plates, totaling 600,000.

In terms of the number of gold coins, even some ancient dragons would be ashamed.

It can be seen from this that the young red dragon, with the assistance of Sambian merchants, has harmed many caravans in the past few decades.

At the same time, it can also reflect the busy trade on the East Road, and the caravans harmed by it are only a small part of them. Those who belong to Sambia, or those who have paid sufficient protection fees, have been let go.

Those who were harmed were only those who were in tit-for-tat opposition to the Sambian businessmen.

If enough memories can be extracted from the red dragon's corpse, I'm afraid it won't be as simple as being a disgusting Sambian businessman.

Because some chambers of commerce might not have been destroyed by Sambia, especially the chamber of commerce from Cormyr.

…

It wasn't just the Vizeme Manor that stayed up all night.

In Odulin, the capital of Sambia, a large number of people also stayed up all night.

Odulin is located in the heart of Sambia.

Except for the elves and the people of the valley, few people remember that this land once belonged to the Moon Valley, one of the valleys.

Sambian merchants used their vast wealth to carefully design the city, erasing all traces and memories of Moon Valley.

Viewed from the air, the city looks like a huge radiant pattern, with a central core consisting of three huge buildings, and grand avenues radiating out from the core like the rays of the sun.

The building in the center is the auditorium of the Sambia Senate, the mouthpiece of the business class and the country's actual rulers, and many decisions about Sambia come from here.

To the left and right are the guard tower and the guardian gate.

Don't be misled by the name.

The Guard Tower is not a station for soldiers, but the mint of Sambia. All Sambia currencies are minted here. Other cities do not have this right. Private mints are considered illegal and are taken into public ownership. .

There is a powerful army stationed here all year round, and it is closely guarded. Even if a fly wants to fly in, it must obtain their permission. They are only loyal to the merchant council, and even the commander-in-chief is not qualified to mobilize them.

The guardian gate is the Sambia treasury, which stores the commercial taxes paid by various cities and caravans in proportion every year to build various public facilities. It is said that the wealth inside is an astronomical figure, even the ancient dragon All salivate.

But so far, no giant dragon has dared to come and plunder.

It is normal for the Guard Tower and Guard Gate to be brightly lit every night.

The former is the minting of currency day and night, and the latter is the treasury guards taking turns patrolling.

It would be abnormal if the lights were on in the auditorium at night.

Silently telling the citizens of Odulin that something big happened, something closely related to Sambia, the leaders of the merchant council were discussing countermeasures.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Our strategy is foolproof. How could the entire army be wiped out in just one afternoon? Especially when we sent a young red dragon. The half-elf only had less than a thousand people. He mainly relied on Those treants and pixies, is there something wrong with the message?"

"If there is an error in the first wave of news, what about the second wave and the third wave? This is already the fourth verification. There is absolutely no mistake. Not only were all the mercenaries wiped out, but the red dragon was also dead!"

"The red dragon is also dead? Is this even more impossible? Does he have a powerful being in his hands that can fight against the red dragon?"

"According to the news that came back, it was the young lord named Gavin who did it himself!"

"This is even more nonsense. I have seen that lord with my own eyes. He is not yet twenty, and his professional level has not yet reached extraordinary. Where did he get the power to slay dragons?"

"I remember that in the newly released opera about wits against vampires, it was said that he once killed two drow vampires with one force, which shows that his strength is indeed extraordinary, and he may have a trump card that we don't know about."

"Things like opera are originally used to flatter people. It would be too naive for you to believe in this kind of thing."

"The opera is a lie. Won't Darnell and August, the judges of the Hammer of Justice, also deceive people? They have also publicly admitted the authenticity of the opera."

"The latest news, the latest news, the latest news, the dragon's lair in Slaxata has been found, it's in the Blood Corner."

"This cunning guy, I didn't expect to be able to play tricks under the light. Over the years, he has been pretending that he has a dragon nest in other places. The blood horn is just the impression he uses to contact us, and his feelings are all false."

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and send a mage task force to transport the treasures from the dragon's nest back to make up for the loss of this failure. After so many years, this red dragon should have been fattened by us."

"It's too late, the dragon's nest has been emptied, not a single child is left."

"Impossible, this is impossible. It has only been midnight from the official start to now. Excluding the time to find the red dragon's nest, how long do they have to move a dragon's nest? Even if it costs two to three hundred thousand Nubao, how long can it take to move it out? , it’s not a simple matter, could the news be wrong? It’s a fake dragon nest?”

"It can't be wrong, because the news came from a dragon servant of Slaksata, who not only served him for many years, but also brought back memories of the dragon's nest. The treasures inside were piled up like mountains, and the gold coins were at least 500,000 nubao. He saw with his own eyes that two people and two horses entered the dragon's nest led by the red dragon transformed into a ghost."

"Then how did he empty a dragon's nest in such a short time? Does he also have a wizard task force equipped with a large number of teleportation staffs like us? No, you just said two people and two horses!"

"This is not right, that is not right, what is right?"

"If you have the ability, give a reasonable explanation?"

"If I have a reasonable explanation, would I still be here to grind my teeth with you?"

The entire Sambia Merchant Council was in a mess.

The news that came one after another was not a problem of inconsistency, but it was not clear how the other party did it at all?

Originally, they thought that they had seen the new little lord and the strength of the Three Rivers clearly.

It was just a piece of fat meat for them in the midsummer this year.

Who would have thought that this piece of fat would bite people.

Not only does it bite people, it also hurts.

"The Grand Commander is here, the Grand Commander is here, the Grand Commander is here!"

Accompanied by a series of shouts, a team of Sambian knights armed to the teeth walked in first, lined up in two teams, and waited for them to stand.

A tall and thin old man walked in slowly.

He exuded a sense of old age, his eyes were cloudy, and his steps were slow. Although he was wearing the most luxurious and popular clothes and the most expensive foundation on his face, he still couldn't completely cover the age spots on the exposed parts of his body.

This man's name is Odus Yamast, the Grand Commander of the Sambian Merchant Council.

The Merchant Council implements an election system, and the ruler who is finally elected is the Grand Commander, with a term of seven years.

But since there is no limit on re-election, once you become the Grand Commander, unless there are special circumstances, you will generally work until you die.

Odus is obviously in this situation, and many Sambian merchants secretly call him an old man.

Especially those merchants who were eyeing the position of the commander-in-chief, they wished that he would die sooner.

But he has been like this for more than ten years, like a candle in the wind, but he still remains the same, as if he is going to go out, but he just won't go out.

It is said that his old age is not simply aging, but a terrifying aging magic, even the legendary priest is powerless.

The more power this man has, the more he fears death.

The guards around him have changed from two to four, four to eight, and now directly to a small team.

It is said that the extraordinary warriors guarding him are not one team, but two teams, working in shifts day and night, and there is always a team that follows him day and night, including when he sleeps.

Many people secretly criticized that if a group of people were staring at him, how could he sleep?

Whether willingly or unwillingly.

The moment Odus stepped into the auditorium, all the members of the Merchant Parliament stood up and saluted him.

Rather than respecting Odus, they respected the title of the Grand Commander and the merchant council system of Sambia.

Only by respecting this system and being the beneficiaries of this system can they continue to maintain their current interests and maintain their current high positions.

Whoever tries to shake this system is their biggest enemy, whether it is external or internal.

"Sit down!" Odus's voice is as old, turbid and slow as his appearance.

Under the protection of many guards, he slowly walked to the podium of the auditorium and spoke again: "I believe everyone has more or less known the reason why you were summoned overnight, but before that, I want everyone to watch a few small videos."

The Grand Commander of Sambia waved his hand, and a guard came to the front of the stage holding a crystal ball.

Some Sambia councillors who knew the goods recognized the origin of the crystal ball at a glance. This is a memory projection crystal ball.

It belongs to a set of magic instruments.

This is the mother body of this set of magic instruments. It will play the image of the position of the handheld child crystal.

This kind of magic instrument is precious and rare.

Even the wealthy Sambia Merchant Council does not have many sets.

It will only be used in some key wars.

Could it be that the commander-in-chief secretly used this set of magic tools?

The other party has answered him with practical actions.

A huge image was projected directly above the auditorium.

A holographic image appeared in front of everyone.

Mercenaries gathered in rows and were waiting for the attack of the tall tree man.

Even many members of the Merchant Council who had a wide range of experience could not help but take a breath.

Dozens of tree men and enlightened trees, which sounded insignificant numbers, could only feel the terrifying pressure when facing their heavy steps and charging.

In a few seconds, they heard the unique roar of the red dragon from far to near.

But the next second, everything changed drastically.

The terrifying thunder and lightning sounded directly in everyone's ears, making everyone seem to be on the shore of the Yewen Pond and on the battlefield.

"Revenge Storm! This is a nine-ring spell!"

"There is a quasi-legendary druid or quasi-legendary priest present!"

"Who intervened? Which powerful person intervened?"

"That's no wonder, that's no wonder, those mercenaries were just cannon fodder to attract the enemy's attack, they couldn't stand the bombardment of the nine-ring spell, no wonder they collapsed so quickly."

There are many connoisseurs among the members of the Merchant Council, who recognized the origin of this spell at a glance.

One by one, they couldn't help but whisper to the people around them.

Most spellcasters can obtain the nine-ring spell slot at level 18.

Once they successfully cast the first nine-ring spell, they will be honored as quasi-legends.

Because it's only a matter of time before they step into legend.

Not to mention that there are no legends that suddenly appear, even quasi-legends don't suddenly appear.

Each one is well known to the big forces, and is registered and closely watched.

Although most of them can't be tracked, after all, spellcasters above the extraordinary level begin to have teleportation skills, and they appear and disappear mysteriously, making it impossible to find their traces.

They had already found out everything about Sir Gavin, who had just emerged from the Battle Valley. There was no news about which quasi-legend he was close to, otherwise they would have been more cautious.
