For Viscount Javier,

The sudden drop in the price of tulips is undoubtedly a huge disaster.

Because when the tulip just started to rise, he always maintained a certain sense of reason and never shot easily.

This should be a good thing, but unfortunately...

He eventually became a speculator participating in this tulip feast under the persuasion of noble friends and the social atmosphere of the entire Kingdom of Basel.

In any era, high entry is very dangerous.

Because Viscount Javier missed the best time to enter the game, so... at this time, he felt more anxious than any nobleman in the Kingdom of Basel.

The current market price of tulips has dropped to near the cost price of Viscount Javier!

and……

This price is still falling sharply all the way!

Seeing that he sent out to inquire about the news was the attendant, hurried back from the outside, Viscount Javier also ignored the decent nobility at this time, and asked in a flustered manner at the first time:

"How? Are the prices on the market stable now?"

"Still falling!"

The attendant's expression looked extremely bad, "The current price is nine gold and one shilling, and it is about to drop below nine gold coins!"

Heard that,

Viscount Javier's footsteps couldn't help staggering, and his whole body trembled.

To know,

Just yesterday morning, the price of tulips was still hovering around nine gold and fifteen shillings.

In a mere day,

A dozen silver shillings have already fallen!

"Don't worry about that much! Sell it quickly! Since the current market price is nine gold and one shilling, let's sell nine gold coins! Just sell it!"

finally……

Viscount Javier made up his mind in his own heart.

"But..." The attendant stopped talking.

"What's the matter? Just say if you have something!" Viscount Javier frowned, angrily between his eyebrows.

"Although the current market price is nine gold and one shilling, this is only the price set by other nobles, and no one buys tulip bulbs at this price..."

The attendant replied cautiously.

"what?!!"

"And...it is said that in Basel City, the price of tulips dropped below nine gold coins yesterday..."

Hearing this, Viscount Javier felt that the sky was spinning around, and suddenly slumped in the seat behind him.

"What should I do...what should I do..."

...

Viscount Javier was very anxious,

but in fact,

The King of Basel is more anxious than him!

That’s it. In order to hire those mercenary corps, I paid with tulips!

Calculate time,

At this time now,

At the Mann fortress, at best, the battle has just begun.

If news of the tulip plummet reaches the front lines in the north...

Then the war waged by the Kingdom of Basel has become a complete joke!

actually,

If you change to before,

Loss in the war at most damages the dignity of the Kingdom of Basel, and the big deal is to admit defeat.

But the problem is...

This time,

In the northern part of the Kingdom of Basel, there are more than four thousand mercenaries who have not received the salary they deserve!

That is more than four thousand soldiers who have experienced many battles!

A soldier who has really seen blood!

If they are full of anger in their hearts and strike back and ask themselves for money...

Not to mention that this war will end without a problem,

Even the entire Kingdom of Basel will be plunged into lasting turmoil!

so……

From the first day when the price of tulips began to plummet, the sky above the Palace of Basel was enveloped by an invisible cloud.

How to do?

How can we restore the imminent disaster?

at this moment,

The King of Basel Clark Poulsen felt extremely regretful and questioned himself again and again why he made the decision to attack the Duchy of Idar.

but……

After all, the cruel facts will not start again because of his regret, so the King of Basel had to make his own decision in tears-to save the market!

King Basel knew very well in his heart,

The price of tulips can never plummet at this most critical time!

and,

There is always a glimmer of hope in his heart.

Although I don't know who is selling such a huge number of tulip bulbs, the King stubbornly believes that there will always be no end of these bulbs!

He wished that...

As long as you survive this trough, the price of tulips can return to high levels!

As long as it survives this trough, the Kingdom of Basel will surely annex its neighbors in the north and become a powerful party that cannot be ignored on this continent!

so……

The price of tulips was really stabilized by him!

Although the army of the Kingdom of Basel has long been weak and weak, the history and accumulation of the Basel royal family over the past century cannot be reached by any force.

As a large number of gold coins from the royal family of Basel entered the market, the price of tulips... finally fell to eight gold coins and was stabilized.

However……

Just when all the Basel nobles thought that the price decline had stopped, and started to eat a lot of tulip bulbs together with the royal family, making the price of tulip bulbs show an upward trend again...

The Idars finally gave up their all-time plan to sell tulip bulbs in a controlled manner.

Almost overnight,

Countless tulip bulbs swept across the market in the Kingdom of Basel like a tsunami.

Even if the royal family of Basel and the nobles close to the royal family buy it no matter what, the tulip on the market still sees a slight decrease.

then……

All the way down!

With so many tulip bulbs swept by, even if it is as wealthy as the royal family of Basel, it can't bear such a crazy sell-off.

Seven gold coins,

Six gold coins,

Three more gold coins...

The price of tulip bulbs is completely avalanche, and the entire territory of the Kingdom of Basel is full of wailing!

Everyone is selling their tulip bulbs, but...

No matter how much lower the price given by the nobles, they still can't keep up with the rapid decline in the price of tulips.

That's it!

It's all over!

Seeing the price of tulips rushing like a waterfall, the King of Basel is like an ice cave.

The gold coin that was smashed out before seemed to be like a water splash in the vast ocean, which was not of any use at all.

In the frenzy of the tulip bubble,

Almost all the coins in their hands have been replaced with worthless tulip bulbs.

And now...

Looking at the tulips piled up in the warehouse, the King of Basel finally let out the same wailing as other nobles.

At this moment,

No one cares about the war in the northern part of the Kingdom of Basel.

Because……

Anyone can see,

Just a week ago, the Kingdom of Basel, which still had the ambition to swallow the mountains and rivers, was completely finished...

...

Mann fortress.

Idar Army Lieutenant General Sam Layton stroked the battlements of the Mann Fortress and looked at the Basel army stationed not far away.

there,

The flag of the Kingdom of Basel is still waving in the wind, flying high.

But in contrast to this... the Basel army camp has long since become dilapidated, and it no longer has the ostentation and complacency that it had when it first arrived.

The army from the Kingdom of Basel arrived at the Mann Fortress three days ago.

Then……

They were given a big mouth by reality.

In terms of number alone, the number of Basel troops is indeed much larger than the number of troops stationed at the Mann Fortress.

But the problem is...

According to the Idar army guarding the Mann Fortress, it has never been outside the fortress to engage in close combat with the Basel army.

The only thing the Basel army can do is to use a temporary siege ladder to launch a forceful attack on the Mann Fortress regardless of casualties.

One to say one,

The mercenary corps from all over the mainland are indeed brave.

Those warriors who have been tempered in the fire of war, even when faced with the tricky task of siege, have a good command.

However……

After all, the Idar army is not the army they had encountered before.

This is not only a strong steel army tempered with unyielding consciousness, but also the only professional army with weapons and equipment that spans the age!

The melee weapons equipped by the Idar army are not short knives and short swords, but the well-honed Idar-style sabers; the long-range weapons equipped by the Idar army are not javelins, bows and arrows, but magic whale hunting forks and magic turrets specially used for defense. .

so……

Of course the siege troops were miserable.

In this era of extremely backward cultural beliefs, a scene like a heavenly thunder descending from the world is enough to more than double the deterrent power of the Magic Cannon.

and……

The bombardment of the magic cannon never distinguished nobles from serfs, mercenaries and private soldiers.

Regarding this point, Bruno, the Duke of Idar, has already made an interpretation-before the gunfire, all beings are equal.

With the magical shells symbolizing justice and peace falling into the Basel army, although the aggressive Basel army will not be scattered in a rush, it can easily thwart the momentum of its offensive.

therefore……

Except on the first day of the war,

Major mercenary regiments, noble private soldiers, and royal guards directly under the royal family of Basel rushed forward...

In the next few days, all the siege soldiers on the battlefield were forced civilians and serfs.

at the very beginning,

The general of the Basel army, Wilkin Pitis, also hopes to use these humble people to consume the ammunition of the Idars.

But when he found out,

After the Idar’s artillery seemed endless, even civilians and serfs were no longer easily sent to the battlefield.

after all……

If the ammunition of Idar’s army is endless,

So the only effect that these cannon fodder can play is to continuously attack and consume the morale of the Basel army, and to make the prestige of Basel Marshal Wilkin Pitis continue to decrease.

The prestige and command ability of the commanding generals are the common problems in the wars of this era.

A large number of private armies of nobles, led by different knights, belong to different nobles, and it is difficult to weigh the interests of all parties.

What's more, this time, there are not only private armies belonging to the nobles, royal guards belonging to the royal family, but also mercenary corps from all over the mainland...

so,

The only thing Wilkin Pitts could do was to send a messenger quickly to request the King of Basel's decision.

no way,

The task of "conquering Mann fortress" is really superb!

Even those mercenary regiments that have experienced many battles have never seen this kind of play similar to artillery.

Anyway, the sneak attack couldn't be done. It's better to go back and ask the King of Basel if he can still fight.

But where does Wilkin Pitts know,

Not only is he waiting for the news of King Basel,

Even the Idar army on the other side is waiting for them to hear from the King of Basel.

the reason is simple,

The Principality of Idar, which possesses remote communication tools, has already learned about the bursting of the tulip bubble through the Idar agents lurking in the Kingdom of Basel.

What's more, the Idars not only burst the bubble, but at the same time, terminated the food supply to the Kingdom of Basel!

then,

Before the latest order from the King of Basel, the Basel army had already heard of the plunge in tulip prices and the terrible news of the interruption of food supply.

Then……

The mercenaries from all over the mainland are collectively Spartans.

To know,

The reward paid to them by the Kingdom of Basel...was tulip bulbs!

It was the tulip bulb that sold for more than ten gold coins a week ago, but now it has fallen to one or two gold coins!

And then……

There was no need for the Idar to attack, and the Basel army camp was naturally messed up. And those Idar soldiers who originally planned to rely on this war to make a contribution, only leaning on the top of the city, holding a telescope to watch the big show.

"Stop watching the show!"

finally……

When the heavily armed Sam Layton came to the top of the city again, he brought the long-awaited good news to the soldiers guarding here:

"My Lord has an order! Those who dare to violate the Principality of Idar will be punished!"

Yes,

After these days of assembly, in addition to the necessary troops that need to be stationed on the border to guard against foreign enemies, the Mann Fortress has gathered nearly 20,000 Idar soldiers!

Why does Bruno provide food for the people of Basel?

Instead of directly bursting the bubble and letting the Kingdom of Basel fall into civil strife and turmoil?

In fact, many senior officials in the Principality of Idar have already raised questions about this issue.

The reason why Bruno wanted to do this was of course not just for the Principality of Idar to have a more reasonable reason for declaring war.

after all……

As a traverser, Bruno didn't take the so-called decency of the nobility seriously.

Long ago,

The Idar Ministry of Defense and the Idar Central Intelligence Agency ~www.novelbuddy.com~ have made many assumptions and judgments regarding the plan to annex the Kingdom of Basel.

It’s good to burst the bubble directly,

But in this way,

Those Basel armies scattered throughout the Kingdom of Basel will inevitably need to be defeated or surrendered one by one.

If you change to before,

Such a plan is not unreasonable.

But when the external threat of the Bright Church still exists, it is not an optimal choice.

so……

Bruno finally adopted the suggestion made by the Minister of Defense Sarah Kellen and waited for the assembly of the Basel army before...

Thus,

Whether it is to reorganize these troops or put them in prison, it is undoubtedly much simpler and more in line with the long-term interests of the Principality of Idar.

And as Sam Layton's words echoed above the Mann Fortress...

The Idar soldiers who had been waiting for a while and eager to try finally showed excitement.

Indeed, war will kill people.

But……

In the Principality of Idar, where the nobility's standard of feudalization is becoming more and more stringent and standard, military exploits are the most convenient way to obtain the title!

Seeing these elite Idar soldiers in front of him, Sam Layton was equally excited.

This is not all because of the spirit of fighting and fighting displayed by the soldiers.

But because of...

Bruno once said to him:

"The War of Conquest in Basel will be the last traditional war in the Principality of Idar!"

"After this, the Idar army will enter the era of tanks and artillery!"
