George looked at Gail half a day later, nodded his head, considered to believe his words. After all, the content inside that letter could not be faked.
"Has the situation over there really become so severe?"
Gail sighed and said, "Indeed, the Duke Lord has already united with the southern lords and fought with the demonic tide coming from the east."
After George heard this, he was first slightly shocked in his heart.
That the Duke who has been closed can make this choice, obviously that black tide makes him realize that now has come to the key of life and death of all people in the northern kingdom!
Black tide, in the mouth of the maesters refers to a special climate and magic tide. But the nobles are used to refer to it as the monster swarm that follows the tide.
No, I'm afraid it's not quite appropriate to refer to a monster swarm. Because the Duke and the southern lords united to fight, I'm afraid it is a large army.
So, since hearing the news of the fall of the capital, George will be the black tide, said the 'magic tide'. And his words to fool Baron Garvey, I am afraid that the prophecy is also a prophecy.
However, after thinking about this, his heart is slightly relieved to.
Because in any case, there is still a good news - the guys at least stand out.
The strength of the Duke and the southern lords, he is clear. And from the tone of voice when Gale mentioned sugar, it seems that some of the southern kingdoms are also involved - the truth of the cold lips and teeth, it seems that there are still many people understand.
And even if not all the kingdoms have moved, the fall of Rodunk's capital this matter is certainly enough to alarm the Holy See. So, under the leadership of the backbone of the Holy See, even if the battle is lost, it can usher in a lot of time for him.
After all, a war, not a few months to finish. And if the scourge flows south, he will be happy to be happy.
"So." Gail sighed and seemed to have a bit of a headache: "I had to go every place this time, and even a trip to the Countess."
Speaking of Lady Elizabeth, George suddenly remembered that in a few days it was the day of the winter banquet.
To be honest, he had always been curious about the west, after all, whether she was right or wrong, they were bound to have a fight!
Moreover, he was always thinking about the horses there...
Now there are only ten Charvan horses left in the territory...
And with that new heavy armor, nearly fifty kilograms of weight, fearless knights wear to nothing, those thin horses, can not stand.
The gentleman in front of him knew how to get around the big cemetery, and the redwood swamp...
If you miss this time, you won't have a chance later.
"Yes, I heard that there are a lot of monsters there, especially this winter, there may be a tide of corpses..." George raised his eyebrows, drank up the ginger soup in his hands, breathed a sigh of relief, no more words.
He could not help but gloat in his heart and laughed. To Gail that point of pathetic escort strength, even with a torch, know the direction, I'm afraid that this trip is also very difficult - after all, that the tide of corpses gathered, even with the shelter of the sun, will also be impacted.
And when the Duke in order to send a message to Elizabeth, but especially the 'Lin' to invite out. No need to think, you know how dangerous the road is.
George raised his eyes slightly, saw Gail's face, and knew that these letters, he had a reason to have to send.
He was waiting for this treacherous businessman, Gail, that prayer words. But this guy, but seems to be more concerned about another thing.
"I know this is a bit abrupt, but I hope you can understand the truth of the cold lips and teeth." Gale said with a sigh: "In this winter, it is not easy to fight a war. Men eat and horses chew, really need food - you know, this year's harvest is exceptionally poor, if there is not enough food, I'm afraid that before the battle is over, many soldiers will have frozen and starved to death."
"From your guy's mouth, it really surprised me a bit, Gail." George laughed heatedly, "I didn't expect a treacherous businessman like you to have such a great awareness."
"My lord, you are a bit wrong. I am a genuine charity merchant - although Rodunk is not my hometown, but I am in this business to do good deeds - without some faith, who can put their head above the belt in these chaotic times? "
Gale speaks well, but in essence it is so - the more survivor forces in this mist, the more in the interests of this group of businessmen.
Look at his sad face, it is possible that their Chamber of Commerce, and gave him a task target.
Gail continued to persuade, can be described as a sincere, bitter words. And George also slowly thought about it.
To be honest, these rations, he was inclined to give. After all, the situation has been so severe, the faster the east is finished, the faster he is finished. Finally, when the devil tide army came raging, he was afraid that he would have to run away with the old baron, the private stash of grain, and finally only rotted in the barn.
And although the barn inside only 40,000 bushels, but even if you take out 10,000, but also enough for 10,000 soldiers to eat a month.
Gayle said something to George's heart - a few more days, the food from the south may come over. And if a few more weeks, it is possible that the South can harvest food - after all, many crops there, the summer will be ripe.
"For the lords who provide help to the front, the Duke will make gratitude - each one he will remember. And he knows it's hard for you guys here, too. So for some of the needs you have raised, he promises that he will do his best to meet them within his ability..."
After hearing this, George nodded slightly - although the meaning of this sentence is that the Duke is probably unable to get anything out this time. But most of the lords living in the West, itself has this duty and obligation. And with the Duke's strength, want to come hard, there is no need to reason with people.
However, the Lord Duke is using the word 'help'. Obviously, compared to food, he is now more lack of time - it is possible that the grain in the Valley to reach the Winged Wind City, he will have to take the troops first, heading east.
After George came back to his senses, he asked Gale again. And from the meaning of his mouth, the Duke seems to intend to collect grain this matter, entrusted to his trusted distant niece plus sister-in-law - Countess Elizabeth.
And this lady, if reliable, will naturally use the merchant's knowledge of the location of the survivor stronghold, scouring all over the place.
But with what he knew about that lady... George and Gail looked at each other, both understanding.
"My Lord, you know, with the status and power of the Duke, sometimes often a recognition, a promise, it is worth a thousand dollars... This land needs a reliable manager. And in this way, it can also put the Duke's mind at ease - of course, this is just my analysis. But I think, for those who have the awareness of the contributors, the Duke will not be stingy in granting them status and identity!"
Businessman Gail continued: "At the same time, as the head of the Chamber of Commerce in this region, I am also able to promise that the Chamber of Commerce will not forget the lords of the snow. In the future, our Chamber's resources will not only be tilted towards the north, but will also provide many concessions for all the lords."
'What a beautiful two big pies.' George looked at Gale, nodded and slowly smiled: "I originally thought that this time you came here specially with your merchant goods to make a deal with me... But I found out that this time you're not just planning to hack me a deal - you're not just not going to pay a single penny, are you also planning to let me do some work for you? Gail?"
"Fundraising! My Lord, I have to correct you, this is a fundraiser." Gail said with wide eyes, "All the food I brought over this time, I donated it all. The Chamber of Commerce will also bring a large amount of food from the south afterwards - tens of thousands of bushels! Of course, it may be some time before..."
"Among the people I know, I'm afraid you are the most reliable and trustworthy. So, I'm afraid I need your help in this matter... "
'I still do not know who to trust, who to ask for help...' George could not help but feel a little depressed after hearing this.
When he first saw this guy Gail, he was ready to scrape some oil from his hands. But now it seems that things are going to be completely opposite...
George has already decided in his heart, because I'm afraid that this matter really need to help themselves to - not to mention the west, the entire east of the stock of food, basically in his hands. If he does not bleed a lot, the Duke who is fighting in the front, I'm afraid I can not count on anyone.
More can not, 20,000, he can still take out.
Moreover, the merchants in the hands of these seals, but also can not be so sent around - at least can not let the countess know that the eastern side of the army, has been completely empty, or this winter, I'm afraid there will be no peace.
Therefore, he has a large Order of the Holy Church, for the Duke to guard the rear, the management of this diocese of the archbishop, how also have to meet with that unknown woman, let her stop for a period of time to go.
''There are plenty of radishes in the asylum, according to the Duke's seal, forging a letter should not take much effort.''
