Natsuki Subaru originally thought that after Wood pointed out the shortcomings of his combat strategy, he would ridicule him to undermine his prestige in the team.
However, what I didn't expect was that although Wood pointed out the shortcomings in Subaru's combat plan, he did not express sarcasm. Instead, he agreed with his combat plan and stated that he would solve the problems he mentioned.
"Given the current situation of our camp, if we want to achieve final victory, necessary financial support is indeed indispensable, so I support trade and commerce.
As for the intelligence work and safety of products in various cities, I have a way to find someone to help solve it.
Of course, whether it is an intelligence or security issue, most people will not work in vain. Considering that we currently have insufficient funds to give the other party the final reward, I suggest giving the other party about half of the shares."
When Wood said he was looking for people, he was naturally looking for members of the assassination organizations under his control in the underground world.
The original assassination organizations in the underground world no longer only accept assassination orders, but have gradually transformed into all-round tasks such as intelligence, hunting, and protection.
The main business of assassination cannot be abandoned for the time being, otherwise the assassination organization will not be able to even maintain basic maintenance.
But since Wood became a Knight of the Guards, he has been thinking about using noble channels to allow the assassination organization to take a high-end route in the future.
To put it simply, from now on, Wood's assassination organization will only accept high-level orders, such as orders to assassinate nobles or wealthy people.
However, for higher-level orders, although the reward increases, the difficulty will naturally increase accordingly. Not every member of the assassination organization can do it.
This has resulted in many low-level members of the assassination organization now having no job to earn a living.
For these low-level assassins who lacked combat power, Wood did not give them up completely. Instead, he allowed them to use their personal connections to transform themselves into intelligence work.
And after this period of operation, initial results have been achieved. It should not be difficult to obtain information on commodity prices and best routes in various cities.
Even if these people have poor combat abilities, they were assassination members of underground organizations before. Compared with ordinary people and guards, their combat experience and strength are still remarkable, so they can be used as guards for caravans.
"We don't need to pay any funds. We only need to promise half the benefits of the empty promises. How can you find such a group of people?"
Hearing what Wood said, Natsuki Subaru looked a little surprised. It wasn't that half of the profit income was too high, but Natsuki Subaru was wondering where Wood went to find such a group of people who were easy to talk to?
Their plan for commercial transportation is still in the preliminary stage. Natsuki Subaru has rich experience in gaming, so he is confident about it.
But the point is that in the eyes of others, they are completely new businessmen. Why should others invest in them when they have no experience and don’t know the basics?
"You don't have to worry about this. Anyway, I can find such a group of people, and they are completely trustworthy.
As for how to maximize the benefits of trade and argue with those businessmen, it all depends on your ability."
Although I don’t know whether the person Wood later found was reliable, Natsuki Subaru finally took on the task.
The reason is also very simple. The goddess Emilia is right in front of him. How can a man say that he can't do it?
Besides, Wood has already done so much. If he doesn't catch up, he will really become a passerby.
Of course, there is another important point, that is, Natsuki Subaru is not afraid of danger at all. Even if he is unlucky and dies, his ability "Death Return" can reset time.
It was also when the Emilia camp was deciding on the battle strategy, in a room of a luxurious lighthouse, the backbone of the Anastasia camp was also discussing a battle meeting.
If you look carefully, you will find that except for Anastasia and her knight Yurius, the other key members in the entire room are all demi-humans.
The so-called demi-humans are humanoid races, and the demi-humans in Anastasia's camp are basically orcs.
There were four demihumans present, one was a dog-man orc with dark brown body hair, a wolf-like face, and a length of over 2 meters.
The other three were petite cat-like orcs, barely reaching Anastasia's waist in height, and these three cat-like orcs were rare triplets.
Among them is a two-meter-tall dog-man orc named Ricardo Wilkin, who is also the leader of Anastasia's private mercenary group "Iron Fang".
Although like Anastasia, they are both unprotected and non-magical, relying on the orc's powerful physique and wild fighting instinct, Wilkin's strength is not weak.
Even before, because he was dissatisfied with Yurius, he even fought against Yurius, but the final result was a no-win situation.
Of course, most of them were caused by Rius, but the "Best Knight" also frankly admitted that Wilkin's strength was second to none even among the Knights of the Guards.
Wilkin met Anastasia and Wood in Kalalaki when they were children. Because he took care of the two siblings since childhood, he was actually more like their unrelated father.
As for the triplets of cat-like orcs, they are named Mimi Palbaton, Heitaro Palbaton, and Tibby Palbaton.
Among them, Mimi is the elder sister of the triplets, with an unrestrained and lively personality, the second brother Heitaluo is rational and serious, and the younger Tibi is smart and has a mature look.
The three of them were abandoned by their parents in the wilderness when they were born, and then were picked up by Wood and brought back to the Hessing Chamber of Commerce.
For Mimi and the others, who were abandoned since childhood, the Hexin Chamber of Commerce is their big family, Wilkin is their father, and Anastasia and Wood are their sisters and brothers.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The triplets' protection ability is called "Three Points of Protection". The triplets share each other's pain, battle damage and
Emotional blessings.
The elder sister Mimi is the strongest among the three, but her brothers often insist on sharing their injuries and burdens, so that Mimi never understands that it hurts when she falls.
Although Mimi and her triplets are not very old, it is true that the three deputy leaders of the "Iron Fang" have mastered the combination skill called "Resonance Wave", and their combined combat power is even stronger than that of the leader.
Wilkin.
And in addition to Mimi, who has the strongest magic power, Black Tarot and Tibi are also good at water magic and fire magic respectively.
This operational meeting of Anastasia's camp was mainly focused on the "King Selection Ceremony", but as soon as the meeting began, the key members of Anastasia had disagreements.
Yurius believes that Anastasia is currently not at the bottom among the five candidates for the throne, but it is not an easy task to win the throne.
Among the five candidates now, the one with the strongest reputation and power should be Curio Karsten.
Therefore, Yurius's suggestion was for Anastasia to first form an alliance with other weaker factions, eliminate the seed player Curio, and then slowly pursue the throne.
As for the candidates for the alliance, Yurius also has an idea, and that is Emilia's camp.
Judging from the current situation, the Emilia camp is the weakest in terms of power, financial resources, reputation, etc. If they extend an olive branch, the other party will probably not refuse.
What's more, Emilia's knight Wood is Anastasia's younger brother. With such a natural relationship, there is no obstacle to their cooperation.
Moreover, apart from financial resources, prestige and connections, the Emilia camp is still quite strong in high-end combat power.
If we want to resist Reinhardt's bad guy, Yurius thinks that the monster Wood is indispensable.
Frankly speaking, it is not unreasonable for Yurius to be regarded as the "best knight".
In addition to his outstanding strength, his intelligence and strategic deployment capabilities are also quite outstanding. The plan he has given now is indeed the most powerful plan for Anastasia.
The weak unite to defeat the strong, and then in the end they eliminate the weak with absolute advantage. This is a strategy commonly used in the art of war.
But the point of the problem now is that Anastasia doesn't want to join forces with Emilia's camp at all, or in other words, the first person she wants to eliminate is Emilia!
The reason is also very simple. Anastasia believed that her brother Wood was bewitched by the woman Emilia, so he became her knight and guarded her.
Although Wood is very strong, the opponent is a half-elf and looks almost exactly like the jealous witch Satella. Maybe he has fallen into some kind of secret spell of the opponent?
Regarding Anastasia's statement, Wilkin believed that with Wood's strength, it was impossible to be tricked, even if the opponent was the Jealousy Witch herself.
However, it is a pity that even if he spoke, Anastasia obviously had no intention of listening, and it was not only Anastasia who insisted on attacking Emilia, but also Mimi, Black Tarot and Tibby.
Same idea.
Mimi simply followed the trend and agreed with Anastasia that "family should stay together."
As for Black Tarot and Tibi, they have regarded Wood as their idol since they were young. If possible, they don't want to be enemies with Wood at all.
Regardless of whether Lord Wood is affected by the opponent's magic or not, as long as Emilia is eliminated, then Wood, the guardian knight, will be meaningless.
"I think you are simply crazy. Emilia and the others have neither reputation nor connections. If they don't find a breakthrough point, even if they leave it alone, they will eventually be eliminated.
But you actually don’t want to deal with the troublesome Crusch, but instead want to destroy the Emilia camp.”
"Then I would like to ask, how do you plan to eliminate the Emilia camp first and use force?
Although I don’t want to admit it, I think that with the strength of the few of us here, even if we add them together, we may not be Wood’s opponent.”
Neither Wilkin nor Mimi denied what Yurius said.
Because as beings who can be compared to "family", they also know Master Wood's strength very well. Wilkin even once said that Wood is a born warrior.
Although he has never seen the so-called Jealousy Witch, if it were Wood, he believed that Wood might not lose to the so-called Disaster Witch. This shows that Wilkin and the others recognized Wood's strength.
"No, if you want to eliminate that Emilia, you don't necessarily have to confront them head-on, but you only need some power of public opinion..."
As Anastasia said this, a rather vicious plan emerged in her mind.
Even though Anastasia is full of innocence and even has a baby face, I think she is an easy character to get along with.
In fact, among the five candidates for the throne, Crusch is a charismatic leader, Priscilla is a tsundere girl with a hard mouth and a soft heart, and Emilia and Felt are pure fools.
Anastasia is a woman who is truly scheming and capable, and in order to achieve her ambitions and goals, she sometimes takes extreme actions.
But this is not surprising. Compared to other beings who were either silly and sweet, or who had plenty of food and clothing since childhood, Anastasia was a ruthless person who truly rose up in the slums on her own.
The slums were inherently chaotic, and she was a woman. If she didn't have some means, how could Anastasia establish the Hesing Chamber of Commerce and become the president of the largest chamber of commerce in Kalalaki.
Some people speculate that Wood played an important role in it, but in fact, in addition to protecting Anastasia's safety at that time, the Hexin Chamber of Commerce really relied on Anastasia's own efforts.
As a businessman, Anastasia knows how important credibility is.
So the plan that just came up in her mind was to use the "Iron Fang" mercenary group to spread unfavorable information about Emilia throughout the capital.
The opponent is originally a half-elf, and also looks like Satella. This natural disadvantage is too disadvantageous for Emilia.
People are often ignorant. Once public opinion changes, Emilia will almost have no chance of being crowned king, and they don't need to lose a single soldier from the beginning to the end.
After hearing Anastasia's rather vicious plan, Yurius, who was the "best knight" and strictly abided by himself, naturally refused such despicable behavior.
But Anastasia obviously couldn't listen at all. She said that shopping malls are like battlefields, and creating public opinion to slander opponents is completely a routine business operation. Emilia seduced her important brother away, and she didn't even have time to call him despicable?
And just when Anastasia and Yurius had a disagreement and even had a bit of a quarrel, a guy from the Hexin Chamber of Commerce suddenly ran in in a hurry.
And he reported: "President, something happened to the caravan that our Chamber of Commerce originally planned to transport to the royal capital!
Not only were all the transported goods lost, but almost all of the Iron Fang mercenary group responsible for escorting them lost contact this time.
According to the only survivor, heavy fog suddenly appeared while they were being transported. Both earth dragons and orcs lost their sense of direction in the fog. They suspected that they encountered one of the three major monsters, the "White Whale of the Fog".
