These big shots are actually me - #113 - Chapter 113
This is a huge blow to the Northern Business Alliance. But compared to what happened to the Northern Business Alliance.
What caught the world’s attention even more was the fact that the elves left the Holy Tree Forest? !
And it was an extremely high-profile war to destroy the country as soon as it appeared?
What is very funny is that the first person to know about the elves destroying the Principality of Kormi was not the Northern Business Alliance itself, but Heather, Lorraine, the North and other large forces.
After almost all their neighbors knew about it, the main members of the Northern Business Alliance were shocked to hear from their neighbors that the elves were actually undeclared war on them!
Even the main reason why they knew about it was not because it was sent by their spies in the neighbourhood, but because the neighboring countries were busy asking you what on earth you had done?
No one thought that the elves left the Sacred Tree Forest and attacked the Northern Business Alliance because of their own factors.
Everyone and even the Northern Business Alliance themselves suspected that one of their own family members had gone crazy.
–
White Keep in the North on the other side.
An airship from a distant voyage was slowly docked in the dock of White Castle.
Mozo did not tell Gawain and others about his return, so naturally there was no one at the scene to greet them.
But what surprised Mozo was that when he came down, he noticed that there seemed to be more soldiers in the city than before.
Moreover, the passers-by looked in a hurry.
Especially in the dock, there are a lot of merchants and materials coming in and out with abnormal flow.
After Mozuo was stunned for a moment, he grabbed a businessman. After confirming the iron bank badge on the other’s chest, Mozo smiled and asked:
“Dear friend, can I ask what is going on?”
As he spoke, Mozo took out his platinum customer badge from his arms. That was added by the front desk after the original Sun King was unearthed last time after being sold to the Holy Maiden of the Iron Bank.
The other party, who was a little impatient at first, immediately rubbed his hands and bowed with a smile after seeing the platinum badge:
“Oh my, I am actually a distinguished platinum customer. Hello, dear sir, I am the leader of the Morris caravan. I wonder what you want to ask specifically?”
Mozo said straight to the point:
“I think the atmosphere in White Castle is not quite right. Is there going to be a war?”
This atmosphere and the obviously abnormal import and export of materials can only make Mo Zuo think about war.
But what surprised Mozo was that the other party said strangely:
“Don’t you know? The elves have attacked the Northern Commercial Alliance! Many small countries have been wiped out by the long-eared people!”
“Aha?!”
Is Mozo really shocked this time? The elves left the Sacred Tree Forest? !

Verdani also hurriedly stepped forward and asked:
“Is it just the Northern Business Alliance? What’s going on at the White Horse Defense Line?”
The elves are a powerful race. They have never left the Forest of the Holy Tree on a large scale before, and their occasional departures were small-scale operations.
This kind of direct destruction of the country has never happened before.
As a northerner, Verdani couldn’t help but worry about this.
After seeing Verdani’s appearance clearly, the businessman glanced at Mo Zuo with envy, thinking that he was indeed a platinum customer. What a quality beauty!
To see what kind of person a man is, you can often tell the situation just by looking at the woman next to him.
It’s rude, but it works.
Because he was the person next to the platinum customer, the merchant said very seriously:
“There is currently no problem with the White Horse Defense Line in the north. At least we merchants have not heard anything about it. However, Lord Gawain is still constantly increasing troops and dispatching supplies to that side. To be honest, my caravan has There are three airships with supplies to be sent to the White Horse Defense Line.”
Hearing that nothing happened in the north, Verdani and the two girls behind her breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that those idiots from the Northern Business Alliance had done something terrible, which made the elves unable to help themselves and leave the forest.
But what crazy things did these people do?
Obviously, even if Luolan’s side ‘detained’ the Sun King’s Golden Legion, they did not cause the elves to explode like this.
Could it be that they dug up the Sun King’s tomb? ? ?
This sounds incredible, because let’s not talk about where the Sun King’s tomb is. Just digging the tomb itself is something that the evil god would think twice before doing.
But considering that it was the group of people from the Merchant Alliance, it wouldn’t be surprising. After all, there seems to be only patina left in their minds.
After Mozo asked a few more questions, he bowed to the businessman with worry and thanked him.
The other party also bowed in return and said that there was no need to do this.
After seeing off the businessman, Mozo and his party hurried to the top garden of the White Castle.
Here Gawain is discussing the deployment of defense with his staff.
After feeling that the secret passage behind him had been opened, Gawain quickly gave a few instructions for his staff and officers to go down and rest first.
These people just walked in front, and Mozo led the girls in from the side door.
“Gao Wenqing, what’s going on with the Merchant Alliance?”
Looking at the young master Gawain in front of him, he was not too anxious. He smiled reassuringly:
“Seeing you return safely is the rare good news recently.”
After saying this, Gawain also took the map and pointed to the junction of the Merchant Alliance and the Sacred Tree Forest for Mozuo and said:
“The current situation is not a big problem for us, because judging from the temper of the elves, it is probably the group of people from the Merchant Alliance who did something outrageous that led to such a large-scale invasion by the elves.”
“Gnus also sent a letter saying that everything is fine at the White Horse Defense Line. There is no movement from the elves on the opposite side. Although there are premature suspicions, I think this has nothing to do with us.”
Because it was Gawain who was an authoritative person, the girls were completely relieved. But Mozo couldn’t. The North and Luolan are fine, but the elves are still making a fuss!
Mozuo took the military map handed over by Gawain and looked at the advancement line on it with a little surprise and said:
“Are the elves advancing so fast?”
On the map, the icons of elves occupy almost half of the eastern part of the Merchant Alliance.
Mo Zuo knew that most of the people in the Merchant Alliance, especially those in the east, were useless, but he didn’t expect that these people were so useless.
But what surprised Mo Zuo even more was that Gawain also said inconceivably:
“This is a map from half a day ago. Based on the elves’ offensive in the past two days and the performance of the merchant alliance, I estimate that by now, the elves’ vanguard troops can already see Nuremberg.”
“Nuremberg?!”
This time the girls all exclaimed. Nuremberg is one of the largest cities in the eastern part of the Merchant Alliance, and it is also the capital of the Principality of Nurem, a major member of the Merchant Alliance. Even not far behind Nuremberg is Feilengcui, the nominal political center of the Merchant Alliance!
And if we can reach Nuremberg, doesn’t it mean that the entire eastern part of the Merchant Alliance is about to fall?
But the most interesting thing is that on the current map, the elves are quite far away from Nuremberg, and they can be pushed over in half a day…
Are the people in the Business Alliance really so outrageous?
So far, not many people think that the elves are too powerful, because in the eyes of many people, the Merchant Alliance is just a group of money-grubbing pigs.
The reason why we didn’t attack them in the past was because the Merchant Alliance was surrounded by the three major forces, and a hasty attack would easily make them dive for help. And it doesn’t seem to be a big problem if you stick to it.
Now looking at the performance of the Merchant Alliance, it is estimated that many people regret not taking action before the elves.
Gawain also nodded and said:
“Yes, the elves have probably reached the vicinity of Nuremberg. In this way, the eastern part of the Merchant Alliance will probably completely fall into the hands of the elves.”
Miss Knight finally couldn’t help but asked:
“Didn’t the Merchant Alliance organize a counterattack and rush for reinforcements?”
Having so much land destroyed in two days was really unbelievable to Miss Knight.
But Gawain said even more unbelievably:
“Of course there is. According to what we know so far, the Merchant Alliance organized three large-scale counterattacks or blockades. But they all collapsed at the first touch, not to mention that even a few demigods died. As for the rest of the city defense battles, I don’t know how many of them there are. And they were all defeated easily, at least I didn’t hear any decent resistance.”
When he said this, Gawain’s expression was extremely contemptuous. As a warrior, he really looked down on this group of losers from the Merchant Alliance.
Mozo glanced around briefly and then asked:
“Do you know the purpose of the elves?”
Gawain shook his head and said:
“It’s not clear yet. The long-ears are still stubbornly unwilling to communicate with anyone. But the people from the Merchant Alliance insist on claiming that this is a shameful invasion, and have repeatedly stated to our neighboring countries that they have never done anything to the elves. What. Use this to beg us to send troops for support.”
“But to be honest, almost no one, including me, believes it. So let alone sending troops to assist, there are not even people who morally condemn the elves.”
The reputation of the Merchant Alliance is really bad…
Moreover, the results of this group of people were really terrible. In just two days, they were beaten like this by elves who had not fought in countless years. This really made people dare not invest strategically in them. At least no one would be stupid enough to help until the people from the business alliance further conceded the benefits.
It was also because the reputation of the Merchant Alliance was so bad that even Mo Zuo judged that it was probably the people from the Merchant Alliance who did something unspeakable that made the elves go berserk.
After thinking about it, Mo Zuo’s face became weird. Could it be that people from the Merchant Alliance really dug up his royal tomb? ? ?
Digging the tombs of kings is indeed something that cannot be said, because it cannot be said whether that king is still able to survive for his desperate gods.
After all, the dead king may not be scary, but what will the kings who are still alive and the gods who have lost their kings but are still alive think?
Therefore, digging up royal tombs is something even evil gods and cultists should think twice about.
But maybe a business alliance with money in mind…
After shaking his head, Mozo asked again:
“What did Her Majesty the Queen say?”
Regarding this question, Gawain coughed twice and said with a guilty conscience:
“Two of the three majesties said they would wait and see what happens.”
Two to one, then Luo Lan should not be thinking about doing anything while taking the opportunity.
Mozuo didn’t notice Gawain’s subtle expression, and just quietly thought about the chain reaction this matter would bring.
Gawain hesitated for a moment and then said:
“Do you want to go to the Fog City?”
It won’t be exposed so soon, right? It was Gawain who was looking forward to staying in the palace for eternity and avoiding people, and thought with a little regret.
He also thought of waiting until daylight was almost too late to hold on.
But what made Gawain overjoyed was that Mo Zuo actually shook his head and said:
“Although the elves’ spearheads are not pointing at us, this is no reason to take it lightly. Gao Wenqing, please prepare yourself. I may have to go to the Merchant Alliance in the near future.”
“It’s a war zone over there!”
Gawain said a little panicked.
“I know, but there are some things that I have to do myself.”
Seeing that Gawain wanted to say something else, Mo Zuo suddenly laughed and said:
“Don’t worry, I won’t go to the front line. I will act together with the people from the Iron Bank. The Iron Bank is an absolutely neutral existence, and the elves also recognize their specialness. There will be no big problem.”
This is what made Gawain reluctantly suppress the doubts in his heart.
–
In the area occupied by the elves, countless slaves in ragged clothes, with withered faces but unusually white faces, were driven numbly to a large square by the elves’ golems.
All around the square were huge smoking ruins.
This was once one of the major cities in the eastern part of the Merchant Alliance – Blackheart Castle.
It was also the hub city of the second large-scale defense line established by the Merchant Alliance in response to the elves’ invasion. However, their defense line collapsed easily in front of the elves’ overwhelming fleet.
This once majestic city was completely reduced to ruins.
The high-ranking nobles in the past turned into ashes along with their treasures and castles.
But these slaves, who were trampled by the nobles and kept chewing on them, survived because they could not stop mining even if there was a war and stayed in the mines.
