Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country! - Chapter 443 The bursting of the bubble

Mid-July.

Goethe Plain, north of the Kingdom of Basel.

The private armies of the nobles from the various nobles of the Kingdom of Basel have arrived one after another and set up camps on this land.

The camps of the nobles are extremely luxurious. Not only are there special teams carrying furniture and appliances of the nobles, but also attendants, cooks, and servants dedicated to the nobles.

In contrast to this...

On both sides of the nobles’ camps, there were civilians and serfs laying on the ground in the barren fields.

Although they are also participants in this war,

But…

They are not even eligible to live in the camp!

Participating in the war is an obligation they must fulfill, but they do not have the right to enjoy the results of the war after the war.

The results of the war they have achieved will be placed on their lords, and then their lords will allocate them to them according to their own feelings.

In the morning light,

The colorful flags and military flags painted with noble emblems are particularly eye-catching.

Colorful flags fluttering, singing loudly,

Although the war has not yet begun,

But in the barracks...

The knights of the Kingdom of Basel are already sitting around the bonfire with longing, bragging and telling others about their glorious experiences.

only…

For one thing, the so-called glorious experiences of the knights, and those "extremely wicked" people who were cut down by them were mostly serfs who couldn't even afford white bread.

They couldn't bear the exploitation of the lord, and then they violently resisted.

However…

Their only ending is to be named bandits and thieves by their lord, and then their heads are decapitated, so that the reactionary lord can claim credit and reward.

The stories and achievements told by the nobles and knights are very false.

But…

No matter how false these stories sound, no matter how outrageous these experiences are,

The observers and soldiers present did not dare to refute the slightest.

after all…

The knights who tell these stories all have a noble blood, from the baron to the duke, they are the most noble blood in this land.

Perhaps because the Kingdom of Basel has enjoyed peace and stability for too many years, the hearts of these nobles have long forgotten the cruelty of war and the brutality of close combat.

therefore,

They can only make up the shining experience that they once had according to the glorious history that their ancestors once had.

Don't hang around their waists a sharp sword that has not been drawn for decades; their fat belly supports the gorgeous aristocratic ceremonies.

The war is too far away for them,

So that their state of mind at this time is like a rare spring outing.

They just think,

After the war, I will return with honour; and my own story will also be chanted by countless descendants.

But never considered it,

How many people can walk through the entire battlefield alive.

Oh,

wrong,

They really don't have to think about it.

Because…

Although their heads bear the names of the Basel nobles, they are not the protagonists of either side in this war.

The death relied on the serfs who they didn’t even want to take a look at, and the melee combat relied on the mercenary regiments that were hired heavily.

All they have to do is to stand behind the battlefield and wait for the end of the war.

…

On the hillside on the side of the camp,

A middle-aged man with a fierce complexion, riding a tall war horse, looked at the camp of the Basel nobles not far away from a distance.

He is the leader of the famous mercenary group "Sidon Rebellion", Sir Bradlis.

Under his tune,

The Sidon Rebels have gradually become a mercenary regiment that resounds throughout the mainland, but has mixed reputations, from being small and transparent.

The reason for the reputation,

It is because they are often able to complete the tasks assigned by employers well.

And the ruin in it,

It is because in the process of completing the task, they often bring unreasonable killing and suffering to the civilians in many villages and towns.

He looked at the camp of the nobles from so far away,

Then…

"Pooh!"

Sir Bradlis suddenly smiled contemptuously, and spit out a spit of sputum in the direction of the camp.

Sir Bradlis is undoubtedly a violent, straight-forward guy.

so…

His contempt for the nobles of Basel has always been concealed.

Although he was employed by the King of Basel,

But he has never been able to understand the hypocritical appearance of the nobles in the Kingdom of Basel.

Sir Bradlis knew very well in his heart,

Those Basel nobles couldn't fight at all, and they didn't understand what a war was.

The only thing the nobles can do is to wave the flag and shout after the war, and then make up their own important role in the war.

"Of course they don't know what war is, otherwise... why should the King of Basel come and invite us to fight for them."

As if seeing what Sir Bradlis was thinking, the deputy on the side echoed,

"And... as long as the money is in place, it will be enough."

Hearing this, Sir Bradlis couldn't help but flash a trace of greed on his face.

The price of tulips has gone up again.

this means…

After the employment relationship ended, he and his brothers were able to get a larger sum of money.

"The Principality of Idar..." Sir Bradlis said silently.

"The Principality of Idar will probably be a tough bone, after all, they have the record of defeating the Odin Empire." The deputy reminded. "Noble's mouth, deceitful ghost. Do you think... those decadent nobles are really comparable to Odin's cavalry?" Sir Bradlis asked rhetorically.

"They just took the lives of serfs and civilians to fill it in! And...even the hard bones to gnaw, we have gnawed!"

After that, Sir Bradlis turned around and looked at the team behind him.

The Sidonian Resistance Army has about four to five hundred people, although it sounds like a small number.

But…

Each of them has a few hideous scars on their bodies and faces. These are the marks they have earned after all the battles!

This era is still an era where individual bravery is extremely important.

so,

Sir Bradlis can be described as smug, and only waits for the Mann Fortress to be breached, and he will gallop on the land of the Duchy of Idar.

after all…

At this moment,

The mercenaries gathered on this land are not only the "Sidon Rebels"!

In order to increase his winning rate as much as possible, the King of Basel has paid his blood!

The number of mercenaries alone is more than four thousand!

This employs almost all the mercenaries in the southern part of the continent!

And all payments are made with tulips!

Thinking,

I saw a well-dressed royal knight coming on his horse,

"The King of Basel has an order! The whole army is attacking, the target is the Principality of Idar! The Mann Fortress!"

finally,

After a long wait,

With the sound of the horn and the arrival of the king's order, the Basel army gathered on this land finally moved.

More than four thousand mercenaries,

Ten thousand directly belonged to the Royal Guards of the Royal Family of Basel,

Twenty-four thousand private noble armies from various aristocratic leaders,

Plus cannon fodder, coachman, serf...

For this war,

The Kingdom of Basel has gathered an army of nearly 100,000 people on the ground, and marched vigorously towards the Mann Fortress located in the north of the Kingdom of Basel!

…

in this era,

Undeclared war is a very detrimental thing to the honor of the nobles.

so…

Before starting the war, the King of Basel specially summoned Idar Ambassador Joy Hicks, and confided to him in detail the time and location of the attack.

In his opinion,

When the messenger named Joey Hicks relayed the news back to the Duchy of Idar, I am afraid that the Fortress of Mann would have been captured by the Basel army.

It does not hurt one's dignity, but also has the effect of sneak attack.

However…

Although King Basel's vision is quite beautiful, the reality is often not satisfactory.

As soon as Joey Hicks returned to the Idar embassy in Basel, he transmitted King Basel’s war intentions back to Idar's mainland through the Idar Principality’s remote communication system.

therefore,

When the Basel army was busy marching, planning to bring unexpected attacks to the Principality of Idar...

Bruno had already received the news from Basel City and declared the Principality of Idar into a state of emergency.

This sounds a bit funny-everyone already knows the strategic intentions of the Kingdom of Basel, except that the Basel army thinks it is a sneak attack.

But this is indeed a living reality.

so…

Idar's army began to mobilize, and Idar's soldiers began to prepare for battle.

In just half a day, the garrison of the Mann Fortress grew from 2,500 to more than 10,000.

And in the eyes of many Idar senior officials expecting,

Bruno finally gave the order-the time to burst the tulip bubble of the Kingdom of Basel!

In his opinion,

The key to victory in this war has never been in Fort Mann, but in the Kingdom of Basel!

This will be a more cruel war without gunsmoke!

…

Southern Kingdom of Basel.

The Idar fleet, which had been moored offshore for a long time, finally docked at the port in the Duchy of Stein.

And when Duke Stein was so happy, he finally walked into the cabin at the kind invitation of Idar's CIA Director Krell...

He was shocked!

Because there is only one thing in the cabin-tulip bulbs!

Duke Stein couldn't determine the number of these tulips at all, because they had been piled up like a hill!

not to mention…

There is more than just one boat!

Before that,

Duke Stein once made a bold guess. He inferred that there should be a lot of tulip bulbs in the hands of the Idars.

But…

No matter how he thought about it, he never realized that there are so many tulip bulbs in the hands of the Idars!

This is no longer as simple as profiting from it!

This is destroying the foundation of the Kingdom of Basel, and destroying the rule of the Basel nobles over this land!

Even though he was prepared in his heart,

But when this day really comes...

Duke Stein still trembled and couldn't help himself.

after all…

What I have participated in is a major event that can change the pattern of this era!

"Duke Stein..."

Krell calmly looked at the shivering Duke Stein, and said in a deep voice.

"I'm OK!"

finally…

Duke Stein took a deep breath and said firmly.

Having already reached this point, he naturally couldn't shrink back.

Otherwise... the previous efforts made by Duke Stein will be turned into nothingness.

"It's best. Idar's CIA will tell you what to do then."

"clear."

Upon hearing this, Duke Stein nodded seriously.

…

The Idars finally started to sell tulip bulbs.

only…

Even if it is a sell-off, with such a large number of bulbs, it takes a long period of time and a sufficiently flexible trading technique.

At least…

The sale of tulips should be carried out at the same time within the scope of the entire Kingdom of Basel.

if not…

Although the effect of bursting the bubble can also be achieved, the benefits that the Idars can obtain are indeed much less.

…

then…

At the end of July.

On the same day the Basel army could see the walls of the Mann Fortress not far away,

The nobles of the Kingdom of Basel suddenly discovered...the tulip bulbs, which were originally valuable and unmarketable, seemed to suddenly increase.

but,

They didn't think much about it.

Because of such fluctuations, they have experienced many times before.

It was nothing more than a certain nobleman who was in urgent need of gold coins, so he had to reluctantly cut his love and reluctantly sold the tulip bulbs in his hands.

They firmly believe that

This is just a brief fluctuation in the price of tulips, and within a few days, the price of tulips will continue to rise sharply.

after all…

At this time, the price of a tulip bulb has reached twelve gold coins!

And all along, the upward trend of tulip prices has only increased!

so,

They made a decision almost immediately and continued to increase their holdings!

A large number of nobles who still had gold coins in their hands replaced the gold coins in their hands with tulips, and then happily locked them in their warehouses, waiting for the price to rise as usual.

But…

Somehow,

The twelve gold coins seem to have become a barrier that is difficult to cross. No matter how you buy them, the price of tulips never breaks upward.

Three days,

Five days,

When the price of the tulip lasted around twelve gold coins for a week...

A small group of Basel nobles finally couldn't sit still.

Is the price of tulips already at the top?

When this idea finally appeared in the minds of some nobles... the collapse of the tulip bubble has become a foregone conclusion!

after all…

The reason why the price of tulips can reach such a high level is inseparable from the social atmosphere in which all the Basel nobles agree that the price of tulips will skyrocket.

And when some nobles abandoned this view and finally began to return to rationality...

The panic atmosphere in the market will begin to be continuously amplified!

so…

The price of tulips has fallen...

Although in the beginning, the decline of UUkanshu www.uukānshu.com was not that big, but once such a trend has taken shape, it will no longer be easily rescued by others.

From eleven gold coins to ten gold coins,

When the price of tulips finally fell below ten gold coins and returned to single digits...

Those nobles who still hold tulips in their hands have already fallen into endless panic!

The tulip bubble that lasted for more than half a year,

Finally at this most critical moment,

Was ruthlessly pierced...
