In the distance in front of him, there were square formations full of iron armor that were slowly moving towards the end of the horizon. The first battle between the German Empire and the Kingdom of Northland ended with the German Empire's complete victory.
In this battle, Tyron William led 30,000 troops of the German Empire and easily swept away the border guards of the Kingdom of Northland. At least 3,000 Northland soldiers and civilians were slaughtered. However, the German Empire paid a very small price for this victory. They did not even manage to gather 200 wounded soldiers.
The magic crystal cannons that had just been shown on the battlefield had already demonstrated the terrifying power of this terrifying war machine. It was also because of the good performance of the magic crystal cannons in this battle that Tyron William liked this weapon even more.
"Tell the rear to hurry up! This weapon should be equipped with every castle and every army! " Tyron William urged his horse forward and ordered one of his confidants, "After this victory, I think the Northland will soon surrender."
"After we go back! I want at least 100 new cannons! "He continued to speak as he moved forward," The next battle won't be so easy! They also have cannons like this … So, the situation of the war won't be so one-sided! "
Not only that, there was also the problem of supply. It was extremely difficult to establish a supply line because of the Wilson Mountains. This was also the reason why the Empire had been reluctant to make a move for so many years. The last expedition that was urged by Kaiser The Great had been interrupted because of the supply line, and many soldiers had died tragically in foreign lands.
At this time, in the Eagle Castle in the capital of the Kingdom of Northland, Gorgon.
"As long as Tyron William leads his main force north, our border may be penetrated. This is a loss for us because the war will destroy our carefully paved roads and our crops. " He pointed at a very large and detailed military map and pointed at the location of the border with the Empire.
"The best way is to have most of our men head south in advance and gather at the border … Be prepared for battle at any time," Horf said from the side.
If Tyron William's plan to attack the Kingdom of Northland was only a rough plan, then King Gravel's plan to fight against the German Empire was already a very precise battle plan.
But who would have thought that the Tailun Empire's army had already marched north, catching the Kingdom of Northland off guard.
On the other hand, in Larma, the capital of the Kurut Kingdom, a middle-aged merchant blew a breath of hot air onto his hands. He wrapped his hands tightly around the fur from the grasslands, looked up at the signboard above his head, and strode into the rice shop.
The shop assistant inside hurriedly came over to greet them. At this time, those who came to buy rice must be very, very rich merchants. After all, the price of rice in the Kurut Kingdom was not cheap.
As long as they waited until next year's harvest season, when the new grain was harvested, the price of rice would immediately fall. If they did not need it urgently, it was obviously more profitable to consider purchasing grain next year.
However, since summer, the price of rice, which should have fallen, had become incomprehensible due to the frantic purchase of the Kingdom of Northland. Now, these grains were really expensive, and there were even countless merchants from the Kingdom of Northland coming to buy them. It was really hard to tell what they were thinking.
"How much grain do you have left to sell in your shop … I want all of it." As soon as the merchant entered, he did not beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose.
When the shop assistant heard this, the smile on his face stiffened. There were more and more merchants from the Kingdom of Northland who came to "cause trouble" recently. They said that they wanted to buy all the grain as soon as they arrived, and it was as if they did not want to leave a way out for others.
However, they were all guests, and the shop assistant did not want to offend these big merchants. After all, at this time next year, the price of grain might fall, and he would still have to rely on these merchants to buy grain to eat.
So he squeezed out a somewhat forced smile and explained, "Sir, you may not be aware, but because of the sharp decline in grain reserves, His Majesty has issued a purchase restriction order. You can only purchase 50 barrels of grain at a time …"
The unit of calculation of grain was actually a way of measuring grain by volume, and it was neither accurate nor scientific. However, because each country had its own measurement system, such things could only be tolerated.
Now, the Kingdom of Northland had begun to popularize new units of measurement. There were various units of length and weight, which made it much more convenient for people to use. Coupled with the widespread use of new numbers, all the territories under the rule of King Gravel had made great progress in their calculations.
"Can't you make an exception?" The merchant pressed a gold coin on the coffee table beside him, and the golden light was so dazzling that it was difficult to open one's eyes.
"100 barrels. This is the best deal we can do." The shop assistant looked around before putting the gold coin into his pocket and said, "The price will be the same as this morning. This is the best deal."
Everyone knew that there was no need to worry about grain sales now, and everyone had their eyes on this area. The locals were driving up prices, and the foreigners were frantically buying. The grain stock in the rice shops was rapidly decreasing, and the Kuruth Kingdom had even begun to fall into a state of partial shortage.
"Alright!" The merchant was easy to talk to, and nodded in agreement. He stood up and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you to pack up all the grain. I'll be shipping it away soon."
There was no other way. Although it pained him, he could only take out his money pouch from his pocket and place a stack of gold coins on the table for the other party to examine carefully. A hundred barrels of grain would not even be worth a single gold coin in the past, but now it was so expensive. Not only that, the Kingdom of Northland was racking their brains to buy large amounts of grain, but they were also frantically buying meat products from the grasslands. Not only were they buying fresh, live cattle and sheep, but they were also buying dried meat.
After all, the population of the Kingdom of Northland was growing, and King Gravel had ordered a large amount of grain to be stored before winter.
In every rice shop in every corner of the Kuruth Kingdom, there were merchants from the Kingdom of Northland frantically buying grain. They did not care about the price. As long as the other party dared to sell, they would dare to pay for the grain.
On the bustling streets of Galgalon, everyone had a happy smile on their face. In the past, such smiles were rare, but now, almost everyone in the Kingdom of Northland was full of hope for the future, so smiles were the most common expression.
