0292 Burning
Transportation in another world has always been a tragedy.
If a person wants to go far, it is absolutely impossible to leave just by saying that. If he wants to go far, he will expand into a group, it will be a disaster that will cause disaster. If he doesn’t have food, drink, defecation, and death is inevitable.
The day after Lorraine bought the last batch of female slaves, Seth withdrew all his own personnel in the city to villages and towns outside the city. There were less than fifty people, but the town was almost impossible to accommodate, and they were all squeezed into a temporary cargo warehouse.
It is quite complicated to transport personnel and supplies from a long distance. It is too normal to lose food and clothing, have no support on the way, or even get lost and be attacked.
When Seth was being frustrated by a mess of messy things, he found a carriage coming from the temporary warehouse. Several people jumped out of the carriage and shouted in shock, "Father, why are you here?"
Rubio, a prodigal businessman who had been in the Black Forest for half his life, looked left and right, movable his arms and legs, and sighed, "This is the Banshee Castle. This is the first time I've come back. It doesn't feel very good."
Seth's face turned dark and said in a deep voice: "Father, here is a town outside the Banshee Castle. The walls of Banshee Castle are three miles away. Haven't you answered my question yet?"
Rubio laughed loudly, "Half a month ago, Ms. Inesa received a reply from Master Hugo. She expected that you should evacuate, so she sent us to prepare to pick her up. Without my old bones, can you arrange everything?"
Seth opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. Rubio stepped forward and patted his shoulder, and said, "I just called on the 'Holy Light' and greeted Mr. Hugo. He said that as long as we can retreat safely this time, we will not worry about going out to fight in the future."
Seth withdrew nearly fifty people from Banshee Castle, and in addition, there were hundreds of people on his own transport team, and a large amount of goods needed to be transported away. Under the heavy transportation tasks, potential hostile dangers must be considered, and escort guards need to be arranged.
If it is in the real world, a few trucks can solve all the problems. But in another world, let alone without suitable means of transportation, the road is not even smooth. None of these tasks can be solved easily.
Rubio was still laughing at the door of the warehouse. After entering the warehouse to count the goods and personnel, he was calm. He was hunched and had a poor appearance, but Seth was a little scared when he followed him.
"Father, you think of my arrangement"
"Your arrangement is shit. Most of the people in the team are not familiar with each other, and they are short of at least half of the food rations. Such a team will fall apart halfway through the way." Rubio scolded without hesitation.
"Isn't there any supplies along the way?" Seth defended quietly.
Rubio looked straight, "You should just pretend that there is no supply along the way, otherwise it will be a bad thing."
The carriages can provide in short supply, and the supply they purchase is limited, but the personnel and goods to be transported exceed the standard. Rubio and his son face a lot of problems.
Outside the town where the temporary warehouse is located, the frost-covered little Powell had just dismounted, walked through a bare earth slope and looked at the earth slope. One of his brothers came out of the town and walked up to the earth slope to report
"It's this town, and all the people are inside. I asked the guards in the town that a group of foreigners rented the warehouse two months ago and hired many people to transport goods to the north. Their transported a lot, and they transported at least one or two hundred vehicles back and forth.
In addition to transporting goods, they also transport people, but it is not clear how much they have been transported. Some carriages don’t stop after coming out of the city and go straight north. However, the group of female slaves we chased last night are all here.
I counted far away, and the amount of people and goods was particularly large. There were not enough carriages in the town, so they should not be able to leave for a while, and it would take at least half a month to leave."
When Powell heard these words 'there are a lot of people and goods', he immediately asked sternly: "Is the black market transaction still going on in the city?"
His brother was stunned, "I'm going to ask. What's wrong?"
"Forget it, no need to ask." Little Powell shook his head, "I asked the slave traders last night, and they didn't receive the next batch of slave orders. Victor Hugo has been here for two months, and he is about to run away."
His brother was even more stunned and asked back, "Do we want to report to Mr. Pheles immediately?"
"But we don't know where Victor Hugo is?" Powell Jr. was also thinking, "What can I do if I report to Mr. Pheles?"
But his brother replied: "Your Excellency Pheles was too worried before and did not dare to take action because the powerful people in the city were still doing business with that Hugo. But now the transaction is over, maybe we can take it in reverse."
Little Powell's eyes lit up, "Yes, the business is over, no one will stop us from grabbing one. I don't believe in Victor. Hugo can't stand it. If he doesn't come out, his subordinates and goods will have to lose all of them."
Thinking about the large number of people and goods in the warehouse, Powell and his brother became more excited and their smiles gradually became ferocious. This is a matter of gaining fame and fortune, and nothing can make a fortune better than robbery.
"It's definitely not enough for us brothers." Powell thought for a while, and felt that he had to go back and get some people, especially the old Bank of the Wizards and report to Louis Philes.
Leaving his brothers to continue stalking, Powell turned around and returned to the city. It was still morning, and he expected to lead the team back before noon, about two hours in between.
In the temporary warehouse in the town, Rubio, who had just arrived, waved his hand and ordered his son: "Go, go immediately. We will pull everyone out and can't continue to stay."
"Why?" Seth was inexplicably surprised. His father just emphasized the serious consequences of insufficient preparation for traveling a lot, but in a blink of an eye, Rubio would immediately pull the team on the road.
Rubio said with great determination: "I have been doing business all my life, and I can live until now all depend on my courage.
If no one wants to harm us, we will be harder on the road at most. But if someone wants to harm us, once we find that all the people in the city have run away, do you think they will chase us?"
Seth was stunned again and stammered for a while and said, "But we don't have so many carriages. If we want to transport people, we can't transport goods, and if we want to transport goods, we can't transport people."
Rubio sneered and said, "Go and spend money, let the people in this town prepare lunch for us and prepare dry food for us on the way. Buy all their big animals and let all of us eat and wear warmth.
Feed the horses and let the weak get on the bus. The goods that can be transported will be transported away, and those that cannot be transported will be burned away. Just transport the people away."
Rubio's decisiveness made Seth feel unrecognizable. He called on the Holy Light to confirm with Zhou Qingfeng, and the answer he received was, "Don't care about those jars and jars, burn off excess goods, and focus on transporting people. This order was issued by me."
What is trench? This is trench!
The materials I finally purchased were burned if I found something was wrong.
Seth couldn't help but persuaded weakly: "Master Hugo, what if we scare ourselves, wouldn't it be in vain?"
"The precious goods were transported away in advance, and most of the remaining materials were worthless oats. They were only worth a hundred gold coins, and they would be burned in vain. In short, they could not be kept."
The hundred gold coins still said they were not valuable? Seth felt distressed when he heard this number, "Master, or can we sell them to people in the town? Less lose less."
