The Knight's Journey to the Empire

Suddenly, Soran thought of the news recorded in the letter sent from Connat City, and thought of various situations that might happen in the future.

So he continued to say to Adam: "Adam, this time we will just buy a batch of food to solve the current predicament of the territory first!"

"But you have to find out the channels for purchasing food. It's best to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with them. Because after our business makes money, we will need to buy a large amount of food! You have to remember, this is very important!"

Soran had already told everyone the information in the letter, but he did not tell them about the speculation about the possibility of war in the future.

Although the probability of war in the future is very high given the current situation, Sauron cannot actually guess how this event will turn out in the future.

So he thought it would be better not to say anything, so that they would not have to worry about it every day.

Although Adam didn't know why Soran suddenly said this, he still kept this matter firmly in mind because Soran said it so seriously.

So he replied solemnly: "I remember it!"

"Then you should also ask around to see if there are any channels to buy war horses. We need to buy a batch of war horses to expand the military strength of the territory! But don't be too anxious about this. You can ask around first. Because this will definitely require our business to make money before we can buy it!"

The Knight Guards have now been established. Since Soran is planning to train them as knights, how could there be no war horses?

White Bear Territory currently has quite a lot of horses raised, a total of twenty-seven.

But there were only five horses that could be ridden onto the battlefield to charge, three of which were brought by Soran from Connacht, and two were brought back by Wulf from the west.

This number is not even enough for the few official knights allocated to the territory.

The remaining twenty-two horses were all unskilled horses used to pull goods or carts. Ten of them were brought by Soran from Connacht, and the remaining twelve were brought back by Wolf from the west.

At present, if the Knight Guards are conducting daily training, they can use unbridled horses instead.

Of course, these slow horses can only be used to practice the basics of horse riding, but if they are really pulled out to fight on the battlefield, these slow horses will definitely be a bit lame!

Therefore, Sauron naturally had to put the task of purchasing war horses on the agenda as soon as possible.

And this time Adam led the caravan out to do business, which was a very good opportunity.

"Okay, I'll go ask around first!" Adam's tone sounded a bit far-fetched!

But this cannot be blamed on him. After all, this is the reality of the Kingdom of Midburg, and there is nothing that can be done about it.

Because this country is not only a country with scarce iron ore resources, but also a country with scarce war horse resources!

[Note: War horses are different from inferior horses. The scarcity of war horses does not mean that inferior horses are also scarce! ]

The general environment of the Kingdom of Midburg is not suitable for large-scale breeding of war horses.

Next door to him, the Chaos Empire, which borders the Principality of Glia, is a powerful continental country that raises war horses.

The excellent war horses of the Chaos Empire are as famous as its powerful knights!

Therefore, half of the war horses of the Kingdom of Midburg were actually obtained through import channels.

The remaining half were nobles who owned private ranches and raised war horses on a small scale.

In the Kingdom of Midburg, all of these nobles are powerful nobles with strong background and great power.

The war horses they raise may not even be enough to form their own knightly order!

Therefore, the market price of war horses in the Kingdom of Midburg is much higher than that in other countries, reaching fifty or sixty gold coins per horse!

Moreover, many times, there is a situation where there is a price but no demand!

So considering the market conditions, Adam didn't dare to guarantee that he could buy it back!

"Okay, just remember it! Be sure to ask around, there's no need to rush! After all, we don't have much money to buy it in our territory right now, so let's wait until the business is established!" Soran comforted Adam.

He also knew that war horses were hard to buy right now, so he didn't want to put too much pressure on Adam.

"Got it! Is there anything else you want to say? You're so annoying! If not, then I'll set off!" Adam teased Soran, regrouped, raised his spirits, and prepared to set off.

Soran immediately punched him in the chest: "No more, let's go! Be careful on the way!"

Then Adam left without looking back.

"Henry, you lead the team to protect the safety of the caravan! At the critical moment, finances and other things are not important and can be abandoned at any time! But you must pay attention to protecting the people! I want to see you return safely!"

"Also, give Adam more advice while you're outside! After all, this is his first time traveling far away for business, and there are still many things he doesn't understand. You can remind him!" Soran gave Henry his final instructions before leaving.

As for Borgia, with his brain, Soran thought it would be better to forget about him, as long as he didn't cause any trouble.

"Yes, sir!" Henry accepted the order respectfully and followed Adam.

This team, named "White Bear Caravan", consists of more than 40 members and 12 carriages.

Among these more than 40 caravan members were the second squadron of the territory guard led by Henry and Borgia, as well as a dozen subjects recruited by Adam himself!

All twelve carriages were pulled by unbreasted horses, and on the front carriage there was a ten-foot-long wooden pole inserted into it.

And an exquisitely crafted noble flag was hanging on it, fluttering in the wind.

The main pattern of this flag is a white bear standing up and roaring to the sky. The white bear holds a shield in its left hand and a book in its right hand, and is surrounded by various exquisite patterns.

Unfortunately, White Bear is now very poor and has nothing to sell, so the carriage is empty and can only be used for people to sit.

Twelve carriages, driven by the coachmen, stretched for nearly a hundred meters, moved towards the outside, and then disappeared at the end of the road.

This time, the White Bear Territory caravan set out from Flanders Town and headed south. After leaving the White Bear Territory, they headed east along the county road to the most prosperous city in the entire Ganise County - Ganise City.

It is a port city on the seaside!
