All the major clans converged on Saint Herner Island. All the influential people across Ewentra Archipelago started to converge on Saint Herner Island by airship or steamship. Batches of people started to converge on Saint Herner Island to witness this rare duel. ```23wx`
In Ewentra Archipelago, there had always been a custom of duel. Duel was not prohibited in Ewentra Archipelago whether it was because of hatred or love. As long as the two parties agreed to it, they would sign the duel contract under the witness of a notary and their relatives and friends. Such a duel was always regarded as a bright and courageous act and would even be praised.
Both barbarians in Sinaira Island and those old major clans in Arkray Island would respect such a duel and the result of the duel.
In Ewentra Archipelago, the duel between two people could even become the local hot news, not to mention the duel between two fleets. It was like a super tsunami caused by a magnitude 10 earthquake, which swept over the entire Ewentra Archipelago in a split second.
One party represented the most powerful force in Ice and Snow Wilderness while the other represented the local major clans in Ewentra Archipelago. The result of the duel would determine the fate of numerous people across Ewentra Archipelago and the future of the entire north water. Of course, such a large-scale duel would arouse a sensation.
Starting from October 4th, due to the influx of a large number of outsiders, all the hotels across Saint Herner Island started to be full. Even though the rent of hotels and hotels increased by 10 times, it was still hard to find a room. In this case, all the commoners across Saint Herner Island had temporarily hung the sign of family hotels and started to rent out their houses at a lower price than that of hotels so as to earn some extra money. The commercial trade in Ewentra Archipelago was developed. Therefore, commoners across the archipelago were full of commercial consciousness.
Similar to that of hotels, the price of berths at the wharf of Saint Herner Island also started from October 4th. The berth fee of a huge ship less than 5000 tons jumped from 160 gold coins to over 2000 gold coins a day. The berths at the wharf were soon occupied by those private luxury cruises.
For commoners, That day's parking fee was more than 2000 gold coins. It was an astronomical figure. However, such a bit of money was nothing for those rich people in Ewentra Archipelago who relied on sea trade. Even if they stayed in Saint Herner Island for one month, they would only spend 60-70,000 gold coins. To be able to witness such a great duel with their own eyes was simply too cheap.
Under such circumstances. There were still countless luxury cruises and private yachts coming from all directions to witness this historic moment with their own eyes. As there was no berth in the wharf, those luxury cruises and private yachts just anchored in the open waters around Saint Herner Island. In only a few days, the open waters of Saint Herner Island had been densely packed with these ships like a forest. Those ships anchored in the open waters would berth in the temporary wharf of Saint Herner Harbor for a short while when they needed supplies.
In this case, at the request of almost all the passengers, even the Narwhal which had left Saint Herner Island temporarily changed its route and sailed towards Saint Herner Island from Arkray Island.
However, this time, there was no berth for Narwhal on the wharf of Saint Herner Harbor. Narwhal could only berth in an area near the eastern part of Saint Herner Island. Even though the passengers wanted to place their bets, they could only be transported to Saint Herner Harbor by small boats of Narwhal and picked up after placing their bets.
Similarly, besides the major clans in Ewentra Archipelago converged towards Saint Herner Island, a lot of big figures in Ice and Snow Wilderness also arrived here. They wanted to witness this duel which could influence the future of Ice and Snow Wilderness and the entire north water.
Almost when the news of this duel spread to Ice and Snow Wilderness, Peter Hamplester had already raised 270 million gold coins from Golden Roc Bank by mortgaging all his interests in Tribal Axis Railway. This news had completely aroused the stalemate situation in Ice and Snow Wilderness.
5 years ago, many people might answer Eschyle City as the most valuable place in Ice and Snow Wilderness. As the only city in Ice and Snow Wilderness, of course, the prosperous Eschyle City was the most valuable place across Ice and Snow Wilderness. However, at this moment, all the people who knew about Ice and Snow Wilderness would answer Tribal Axis Railway without demur.
After 5 years' construction and development, this railway artery which connected the north and the south of Ice and Snow Wilderness was going to bear fruits.
Not to mention the great value of the railway itself, just the numerous resources such as forest farms, mines, pastures, farmlands, etc. that had been developed by a large number of immigrants within 100 km of the railway were enough to make everyone jealous.
The region along the Tribal Axis Railway had already become the most economically developed and vigorous place across Ice and Snow Wilderness. Such a situation made people jealous and fearful.
They were jealous because of the gold coins and more and more exploitable resources brought by the Tribal Axis Railway Plan; however, they were fearful because the huge bear tribe and the iron bear tribe had become the biggest beneficiaries of the Tribal Axis Railway Plan. With the completion of the railway, the two tribes were expanding at a speed far greater than that of the other tribes. As a result, the two tribes were constantly outperforming the other tribes in terms of power.
Due to the existence of the Tribal Axis Railway, the tranquil situation in Ice and Snow Wilderness became intense. Under the instigation and collusion of the missionary group of Sacred Light Empire, the bear tribes which carried the banner of "Ice and Snow Wilderness belongs to all the Slavs" started to drool over the Tribal Axis Railway. They wanted to intervene in the distribution of interests and fundamentally change the current pattern of Ice and Snow Wilderness.
It could be said that since Zhang Tie bet the Tribal Axis Railway on this gamble, this fleet duel not only determined the future of Ewentra Archipelago, but also the future of the entire north water including Ice and Snow Wilderness.
All the major clans of Ewentra Archipelago were ecstatic about Zhang Tie's action of betting the Tribal Axis Railway on this gamble. It meant that as long as they won the duel, they would not only keep their positions in Ewentra Archipelago, but also control the economic lifeline of Ice and Snow Wilderness. They dared not even think about such a thing before. However, such a chance was right in front of them now.
If they only bet with Zhang Tie, even if Zhang Tie bet the Tribal Axis Railway on this gamble, they dared not accept it; because they were afraid that Zhang Tie would repudiate the debt after losing the bet. By then, how could they defeat a knight? Who dared claim that the Tribal Axis Railway belonged to them in Ice and Snow Wilderness? However, with Golden Roc Bank as the guarantor and the banker, they didn't worry about that anymore. They knew that Ice and Snow Wilderness would never dare repudiate the debt of Golden Roc Bank no matter how powerful Ice and Snow Wilderness was.
In this case, according to the odds of 1: 1.1, all the major clans of Ewentra Archipelago also bet 297 million gold coins. In the blink of an eye, all the major clans of Ewentra Archipelago had bet 297 million gold coins.
When all the major clans in Ewentra Archipelago were ecstatic, mountain bear tribe, black bear tribe and demon bear tribe in Ice and Snow Wilderness felt uncomfortable at once. If Peter won the battle, he would occupy the entire Ewentra Archipelago and make numerous gold coins. If Peter won the battle, he would have both Ewentra Archipelago and the two major tribes in Ice and Snow Wilderness. He would have people, money, ships, territories and prestige. Who else across Ice and Snow Wilderness could defeat Peter in Ice and Snow Wilderness? Who else dared to stand out? From now on, the tribes that dared to jump out would have to carefully look at Peter's face and behave with their tails between their legs. This was naturally unacceptable to them.
However, if Peter lost the battle, with the support of Golden Roc Bank, the Tribal Axis Railway that they coveted would fall into the hand of others. By then, what would they do after working so hard for such a long time? The three tribes would immediately become the laughingstock and clowns across Ice and Snow Wilderness and the north water. They would not be able to raise their heads for 100 years.
The moment Peter put the Horde Axis Railway on board, it was as if the three tribes were roasted on the stove!
The huge bear tribe and the iron bear tribe also followed Peter to place a heavy bet on Zhang Tie.
...
On the noon of October 8th, the 10,000-ton luxury cruise "Chief", the exclusive 10,000-ton luxury cruise of the head of Spencer Clan, crossed the blue billows and headed straight for Saint Herner Island. After 5 days of turbulence, Saint Herner Island finally appeared in front of them.
