Chapter 1560: Chapter 1560

Unexpectedly, they actually support a group of Heavily Armored Warriors, a definite weapon of mass destruction in street fighting. For more chapters visıt 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾·𝗇𝖾𝗍

Not to mention clubs, even ordinary swords would find it difficult to break their defense.

The Laiserman’s previous action of abandoning weapons and replacing them with clubs now seems a bit too reckless.

The Brotherhood of Sword Spike is clearly also very afraid of the Laiserman’s famed unity, fearing that mass slaughter would invite retaliation from the entire Laiserman Kingdom, so they also switched their weapons to blunt instruments like clubs.

In contrast, those Laiserman did not show a trace of fear, on the contrary, they were filled with a sense of disdain towards those soldiers clad in Far East Bright Armor, seemingly mocking them silently, considering them cowards, a bunch of cowards hiding behind armor, and by the time their armor is broken, they will flee in panic, much like naked women.

"Gratitude?" Chief Patralem said with unmistakable contempt on his face, "We live in tents we brought ourselves, drink milk from cows and sheep we herd ourselves, eat food collected by our people, we’ve never accepted a bit of your supplies, what gratitude do you speak of?

If we talk about gratitude, our Fearless Ones fought bloodily at Lake Asen, blocking countless ferocious Tukan people and the monster slaves they drove, preventing them from advancing westwards, harassing the Great Valley.

Does this count as gratitude?

But look at what you are doing?

You take these things for granted, not only did you not think of assisting us against those invaders, but you also tried to use the pathetic power in your hands to extort and blackmail the kind people supporting the front lines, is there anything more shameless than this?"

This Laiserman Berserker, of course, wasn’t that eloquent, he was just acting as a mouthpiece, relaying the words of the Laiserman Witch beside him.

The third leader of the Brotherhood of Sword Spike was visibly stunned, seemingly not expecting such a rough-looking fellow to retort so cunningly, and then responded with a cold smile: "This isn’t extortion, it’s regulation. If a city doesn’t have regulations, it would have long been a mess, how could it develop and grow? Without our coordination and protection, who knows how many times the City of Usmer would have been ravaged by monsters from the wild and pirates from the Sea of Fallen Stars, there wouldn’t be the peaceful life we have now.

Taking some compensation for our own development is reasonable and legal.

As for resisting the Tukan invasion, it wasn’t because you had such a good heart, it was because you had no choice, if they broke through Lake Asen, the first to be annihilated would be you Laiserman.

Don’t make it sound like you’re doing it to protect the Great Valley, to protect the entire world."

"In the end, it’s just the law of the jungle." Chief Patralem spat heavily and said roughly, "Let’s cut the crap, we are docking the ships to unload the goods today, to avoid claims that we’re stealing your business, the work of loading and unloading the grain will still be left to the citizens of the City of Usmer, at the original price, is that acceptable, Commander Gaven."

Commander Gaven caught on and added: "Not only can the work of loading and unloading grain be handed over to the citizens of the City of Usmer, but we’ll also need a lot of vehicles and manpower to transport the grain to Lake Asen. If the citizens of the City of Usmer are willing to be employed, payment can be made in either money or grain.

In addition to needing a large amount of naval supplies replenished here, our fleet will also carry a large amount of local goods back. If there are merchants willing to travel to the Komeer Kingdom, we can also undertake the corresponding business, with absolute security assurances. Throughout the journey, we haven’t lost a single warship or crew member."

This is a great opportunity to win people’s hearts, and someone as knowledgeable as Gaven would not let it slip by.

He chose this small town in the Great Valley as the place to unload the goods, instead of Tavelan’s Cesk, intending to seek a new base in the Eastern Desolation.

Compared to seizing power with force, infiltrating through economic means and binding them through interests to gain greater acceptance, allowing them to promote him as their leader or City Lord, is more effective.

This is experience accumulated from the Valley, and it also applies to situations very similar to the Great Valley.

Gaven’s words immediately caused quite a stir among the onlooking citizens of the City of Usmer, as this directly elevated the involvement of various social strata.

For those on the brink of poverty, getting a job directly involving grain is very precious, as they are the biggest victims of soaring prices, many are actively preparing supplies for the upcoming harsh winter.

For merchants with some assets, following the fleet to the Komeer Kingdom is an excellent choice.

Although the nomadic army is still five hundred kilometers away, it’s clear to anyone with insight that Lake Asen is the last line of defense before them, and once breached, it would only take three to five days for their highly mobile forces to appear at the gates of the City of Usmer.
