Chapter 753 - 75: God of Wealth Arrives
Have the people from the Gray Market Trading Company and the Ramsey family arrived?
Su Li instantly jumped up from lying down; it’s the God of Wealth arriving!
Just now, Hilude was mentioning that there would be a large group of main personnel visiting later, and unexpectedly, as soon as the words were out of her mouth, reality arrived.
Su Li excitedly asked, "How many of them came?"
"Conservatively estimated at 3,000 people, they’ve formed a large caravan together, with more than 1,000 vehicles plus several large ships. Currently, they have only just arrived at the Balan Autonomous Region, and the emergency message was relayed by the Swan Knights at the water gate there."
"3,000 people?" Su Li gasped, a joyous smile breaking out on his face, "This is the largest caravan to visit our territory to date, isn’t it?"
However, he was both happy and worried, and after exclaiming, he began to fret over the situation.
But even as he worried, he did so with a smile; these are happy troubles. Generally, a lord would not even have the chance to worry about such a situation.
"We’ve just settled these thousands of knights and armed attendants for the territory, and now another caravan of similar size comes; how are we supposed to accommodate them?"
Of course, Hilude could see the smile on Su Li’s face and jokingly said, "Well, Lord, you’d better be mentally prepared. It’s estimated that similar-sized groups of outsiders will visit every cycle from now on."
With less than three cycles left until the celebration, having thousands visit each cycle poses a considerable challenge to the territory’s order and pressure.
You know, to cross the treacherous terrain of the Border Prince’s Territory, this group of people is definitely not a bunch of law-abiding citizens.
Concepts like civilization, law, order, and harmony don’t exist for them.
Their norm is to fight at the slightest disagreement, and stealing, robbing, scamming, and deceiving are their regular activities.
Su Li couldn’t even imagine how many scoundrels and villains might be mixed into these people.
Even at just two percent, there would be nearly 500 thieves, fugitives, smugglers, rapists, murderers, and the like.
But a two percent chance is too low; that’s a figure for a civilized society. In the Border Prince’s Territory, it wouldn’t be too much to multiply that number by ten! After all, those who come to this Evil Land are all desperados.
It’s like how a cop in the perfect house, stops a violating vehicle, and sees a Black guy in the driver’s seat, trusting their instincts to reach for their gun is not wrong. If these guys have various tattoos, dragons, and tigers, the likelihood of a criminal record is quite high.
You could say, in the Border Prince’s Territory, encountering a group with swords is almost like identifying criminals in a prison, practically all are. Unless the other party is a Knight, but even they, relatively lawful, may have killed more than prisoners. If treated nicely, they might not actively provoke trouble. But if strangers try to pick a fight with them, they will, without hesitation, show who has the bigger fist.
Su Li took a deep breath and said, "Have our territory’s Champion Knights mobilize, taking along High-level Attendants, the Provincial Army, and the City Guard Army to patrol the streets, to deter these unruly people. Also, ask the Corona Knight Order and the Greenfield Knights to lend a few warbands to help maintain order."
Due to Marshal Orstein’s Western Expedition being an internal war among humans, many involved different beliefs, so the territory’s Church Knight Order refused to send troops to assist.
Su Li understood this; Church Knight Orders don’t generally interfere with wars between secular lords. Their main role is to help lords combat invasions of evil and chaos forces.
Moreover, if different churches dispatched troops to assist, it could spark religious wars. Su Li didn’t want them getting involved, to avoid further disturbance. After all, his secular army was strong enough to crush other small Pioneer Territories, and involving the church would only stir up trouble and lead to unforeseen changes.
So, the Corona Knight Order and Greenfield Knights have large garrisons in the territory. Though they won’t participate in wars between the secular, there’s no issue with helping to maintain the territory’s order. After all, this celebration is in the name of the Sun Goddess and is a unique celebratory event held by the church in the Hesse Territory. Their dispatching troops to maintain order is legitimate, ensuring the church’s celebration goes smoothly.
Hilude smiled and said, "So Lord, remember to talk to Leaders Freya and Silvana; with their support, the church knights will be more inclined to follow our arrangements."
Su Li’s lips curled up, looking as if winning over these two leaders concerns not only his happiness but also the development of the territory.
No doubt, Freya has already been won over by Su Li. This sensitive-bodied Frost Female Knight these days wore the Seductive Torture Brass Bell while training with Su Li; her body was trembling at a touch, and god knows how many unequal treaties were signed at night.
Getting her support for this event is no problem. But with Silvana, that little Green Tea girl, it’s a bit tricky. It’s not that she won’t support it; she surely will, but nobody knows how many conditions she might try to negotiate this time with her calculated demeanor.
But Su Li quickly adjusted his mindset; no matter how much this little Green Tea demands, in the end, it all has to be repaid with interest, and doesn’t she also have to be conquered?
