Standing in place, Karunu turned around and looked in front of him.
In front of him was an extremely large map.
The map was extremely exquisite, and on it were detailed descriptions of the terrain as well as the distribution of the various factions.
The Kobold Kingdom was at the very center, while the Centaurs were at the back.
At this moment, Karunu's gaze gradually moved downwards, gradually focusing on another place.
The Chikal Kingdom.
To the south of the Kobold Kingdom, apart from a large area of barren land, there was also the territory of the Chikal Kingdom and the other human kingdoms.
Over the past year or so, Karunu had gained a basic understanding of the situation in these places.
The Chikal Kingdom was still in internal strife.
After the king died, the Chikal Kingdom had descended into chaos. Many princes had fought, dragging the entire Chikal Kingdom into the quagmire of war.
Under these circumstances, the entire Chikal Kingdom was in chaos.
Every day, there would be a large number of refugees wandering about, trying to escape from their original places.
For Karunu, this was a good opportunity.
As for the Kobold Kingdom, there was no need to think too much about the elites among the humans.
For the elites among the humans, if they had a choice, they would not be willing to work for Karunu.
However, there were not only these elites among the humans.
There were also many talented people among the commoners.
For example, there were various craftsmen and some literate people.
For the current Kobold Kingdom, these were relatively rare talents. If they could be obtained, they would be a very good addition.
Of course, under normal circumstances, this would be very difficult.
Different races were naturally isolated and vigilant against each other.
Without a long period of cooperation, it was impossible for the humans to come and seek refuge.
However, this did not matter.
The Chikal Kingdom was currently in chaos. Under the current circumstances, if Karunu acted and took some refugees away, it should not be a problem.
As long as he took these refugees into the desert, what happened next would not be up to him.
As he stood there, various thoughts flashed through Karunu's mind.
However, this matter was actually quite troublesome.
Even though the Chikal Kingdom was in chaos, it was still quite powerful.
It was not something that the Kobold Kingdom could compare to.
If he really wanted to make a plan, he would need to make some preparations.
Karunu lowered his head and fell into deep thought. Then, he turned around and left this place.
In the following period of time, he had been preparing.
The preparation process was not complicated.
As the Kobold Kingdom continued to develop, many people came to the desert to do business with the Kobolds.
In the past, they had done this for the Kobolds' fur and various herbs.
Later on, it was for all kinds of unique products.
For example, sugar, refined salt, paper, and liquor.
These things were considered relatively simple products. With the support of the Cursed World's personnel, they were quickly picked out and became the specialty products of the Kobold Kingdom.
Recently, several rich iron ores had been discovered nearby, which could be mined to forge ironware.
In this aspect, Kobolds had an innate advantage.
After all, the Kobolds loved to dig and were adept at finding all kinds of minerals.
In addition to digging, they were also good at finding and mining ores. In this aspect, they were far more useful than humans.
It wouldn't be long before the Kobold Kingdom would even be able to produce ironware for use.
Of course, there was no need to export ironware. Just the huge profits from the sugar and paper alone was enough to earn a fortune that would make anyone jealous.
In order to obtain this wealth, there would always be people willing to take the risk to trade with the Kobolds.
These merchants were one of the reasons why the Kobold Kingdom could develop so quickly.
Karunu's gaze fell on these people.
No matter how one looked at it, these merchants were the best allies.
First of all, they came from the Chizar Kingdom, so they were extremely familiar with everything there was to know. They were suitable guides and guides.
At the same time, their identity as merchants determined that they would be driven by benefits.
As long as they could bring them enough benefits, they would not mind being used by a group of Kobolds or even betraying their own kingdom.
He could be considered a good candidate to cooperate with.
After making up his mind, Karunu began to select his targets.
Even if he wanted to find a guide and guide, this did not mean that Karunu would take anyone.
Ordinary merchants would not be able to catch his eye.
He wanted to find partners who had a certain amount of power in the Chikal Kingdom.
Only such people would be able to give him what he wanted.
Soon, a few suitable targets were found.
In the distance, within the Chikal Kingdom.
"You mean to say that the chief of the Kobold Tribe wishes to meet me?"
In a luxurious manor, a middle-aged man looked at a servant in front of him and frowned.
"Yes, Master."
The servant in front of the middle-aged man had a respectful expression as he said, "Not only did he pass the information to you, but he also passed it to others."
"Others from the Chamber of Commerce?"
The middle-aged man frowned, appearing somewhat puzzled. "Just what does he want?"
Many people in the Chikal Kingdom already knew about the Kobold Kingdom in the desert.
In the beginning, not many people knew about this matter. It was only limited to some hunters and merchants.
But later on, with the appearance of sugar and paper, more and more people began to pay attention to the Kobold Kingdom.
Among them, there were many nobles and powerful Chambers of Commerce.
There was nothing they could do about it; the profits were very tempting.
A normal piece of sugar was an absolute luxury in the human world, and even nobles could not enjoy it often.
In this world, there were currently no plants that could be used to extract sugar like sugar cane or beets, so it was very difficult for nobles to enjoy sweetness.
It was the same for paper.
In the past, the paper in this world was basically made from special furs and was extremely expensive.
The paper from the Kobold Kingdom was made from the mature craftsmanship of the Cursed World. Not only was it beautiful and soft, but it was also very comfortable to use, so people naturally went crazy over it.
In just a short period of time, all sorts of products from the Kobold Kingdom became popular, and many people paid attention to them.
In the face of massive profits, so what if they were Kobolds?
Some nobles were tempted by this, and they gradually started to contact the Kobold Kingdom, establishing relations with them and conducting trade.
They might not do it themselves, but their Chambers of Commerce and even their own merchant caravans would often conduct trade with the Kobold Kingdom.
Both sides had sufficient benefits, and both sides were quite satisfied with each other.
However, they did not know what was going on this time …
"Did you find out what was going on?"
The middle-aged man asked as he looked at the servant in front of him and thought for a moment.
"I don't know yet."
The servant shook his head and thought for a moment before saying, "However, it's said that it will affect future trade.
"It's said that the Kobold Chief wants to give the rights to sell sugar and paper in the Chikal Kingdom to a few people."
To give the rights to sell sugar and paper to a few people …
Hearing this, the middle-aged man felt quite startled before his expression greatly changed.
"Send someone to inform the Karunu chieftain."
Standing there, many thoughts flashed through the middle-aged man's mind, but he did not hesitate and said, "Tell him that I will definitely go to his invitation."
"Yes."
Standing in front of the middle-aged man and listening to his words, the servant respectfully nodded before silently leaving.
At that moment, many people in the Chikal Kingdom made similar decisions.
There was no other way.
Karunu's actions this time were simply too important to them.
Right now, sugar and paper were the most popular products in the Chikal Kingdom, and even the Church used them. They praised them endlessly and believed that they were a gift from the gods.
If anyone had enough sugar and paper in their hands, then wealth would immediately roll in and gather in their hands.
According to Karunu, in the future, the Kobold Kingdom's sugar and paper would only be sold to friends who worked closely with them.
It was no longer the same as before, as long as someone went to buy it, they would be able to buy it.
If that was the case, these people who had tasted the sweetness would not be able to accept it.
The profits from the sugar and paper were right in front of them, and they had tasted it.
If they gave up now, they would not be willing to do so no matter what.
On the contrary, if they could reach an agreement with Karunu and become one of the few sugar and paper merchants in the Chikal Kingdom, they would be able to obtain massive wealth.
Huge benefits would come rolling in, and they, as well as the families behind them, would also obtain new opportunities in this meeting.
On the contrary, if they missed this opportunity, it would be extremely difficult to get another one in the future.
As such, no one was willing to miss this meeting.
In order to reassure these people, Karunu had set the meeting place in the northern part of the Chikal Kingdom.
