Junice tilted her head and thought for a moment before answering, "Fifty people, a total of four Barnett gold coins. Today, I'm mainly helping them get familiar with the process. They'll definitely be able to complete commissions faster in the future."
Reiner did a rough calculation in his head.
This tax has almost doubled...
I don’t know what other industries in Cannon are like, but if they were all like the adventurers, there would have been chaos a long time ago.
"I heard from Fiona that Barnet is currently at war, and the king is demanding that Ai pay more territory taxes, so this will definitely affect us as well."
Junice blinked and tucked her long hair behind her ears: "I have also heard some rumors. There are rumors that the Hero King intends to take back the land of Cannon and redistribute it to the generals who took sides in the war.
Lord Ai's family has lived in three border towns, including Cannon, for generations, and this is why he and the Hero King have a conflict."
Reiner rubbed his chin.
Taking over territory and distributing it to other generals will cause your favorability to drop...
Junice suddenly leaned close to Reiner's ear and whispered in a low voice, "When I was doing a commissioned mission, I passed by the primitive forest south of the city. Guess what I saw?"
"No need to be so secretive. There's no one else in this house." Reiner poked her belly gently. He had overheard everything, but he still asked knowingly, "So what did you see?"
Junice cleared her throat. "I saw Lord Connor training soldiers in the forest. There were about four or five of them. I suspect they'll soon break away from Barnet and head south to Diast."
Speaking of this, Junice touched her chin again: "Although the two countries are not at war now, there is no telling if Diast will suddenly stab us in the back and open up a battlefield behind Barnet."
Peggy shook her head. "From what I know, Diast is a small country. Their king certainly wouldn't go toe-to-toe with the third-largest nation on the continent for a tiny profit. I think he'll rely on other forces."
Martina sat at the dining table, chewing on white bread. "Are there other forces? Who are they?"
Laelis laughed beside her: "Who is it? It's so hard to guess."
Except for Martina, everyone looked at Reiner.
Peggy spoke first: "Well, although we are few in number, our strength is not weak. After a period of development, we can definitely compete with those third-rate small countries.
The devil, Martina, Nora, and you, any one of them is a very troublesome existence.
Fiona's orc tribe has a population of at least 30,000 from all clans combined, and there are probably around 6,000 to 7,000 capable warriors, which is also a considerable force.
If used properly, we can easily severely damage or even completely wipe out Barnett's main army."
Generally speaking, the main armies between these countries have about several thousand to ten thousand people.
And there may be three or four main legions on a battlefield.
If Fiona was willing to lend him a hand, they could indeed quickly arm a legion.
In fact, with just a few of them, if they work well together, they already have the strength to rival an entire legion.
Nora can cause enemy generals to die randomly, and without intelligence, there is almost no way to counter it.
Martina and Lalith are almost invincible on the front battlefield.
And Reiner can watch from the sky, where there are more people...
Of course, the above assumptions are based on the fact that the enemy army does not have high-end combat power. It is impossible for such a large country like Barnet to be without powerful guys. The real battlefield must be several times more complicated than he thought.
Peggy whispered, "Well, can I hear your thoughts? If you are willing, I will do my best to assist you."
After pondering for a moment, Reiner sighed and slowly said, "I want to establish a country in the north..."
