Old Friends Reunited

Victor led his army back north, trying to contact the Northern Frontier Chamber of Commerce of Commerce's branch along the way. He hoped to use the Chamber's intelligence channels to send Alex detailed battle reports on his operations in the Southern Region, so that the Northern Alliance Command could make timely judgments on the battle situation.

Unfortunately, due to the war in the Ironvine Territory, only a handful of members remained of the Northern Frontier Chamber of Commerce branch here. They were not only unable to deliver battle reports, but even the reports they provided were very rough.

It wasn't until Victor was about to leave Ironvine Territory that he finally found the person in charge of the Northern Frontier Chamber of Commerce in the Southern Region. To his surprise, he knew this person.

"It's you, Manager Salos?"

Victor looked at the newcomer with surprise and delight. It was none other than Salos, the manager of the merchant guild with whom he had cooperated in York County years ago.

Upon seeing Victor, Salos was also very excited and bowed deeply to Victor: "Viscount Victor, it's so good to see you in good health!"

Victor helped Salos, who was about to kneel, to his feet and asked curiously, "What are you doing here?"

I remember you weren't the branch president here before, were you?

Salos quickly explained, "The previous branch leader fled Ironvine Territory after the war began, but encountered the Duchy's rebel army en route and disappeared. It wasn't until last month that it was confirmed he had died on the road. I was sent to take over later."

"No wonder, I was wondering why I hadn't seen the branch president when I first came to Ironvine Territory."

That's not bad either; if it were you, you would definitely do a better job than him.

"What a pity. If you had taken over earlier, I could have received more help from your chamber of commerce."

When Victor went south to Ironvine Territory, he received some help from the Southern Branch, but it was very limited. Not only was the intelligence lagging behind, but the supplies were also scarce.

"Don't worry, Viscount Victor, I've brought you some things this time that will definitely be of help."

Salos took out a parchment scroll and presented it to Victor with both hands. Victor took it with some curiosity and opened the scroll to find a list of supplies.

It contained a detailed list of all kinds of supplies needed by Victor's Southern Marching Legion, from weapons and armor to food and clothing, and even a large number of livestock and warhorses, enough for tens of thousands of soldiers.

Victor's eyes lit up; he hadn't expected Salos to be so helpful.

It's important to understand that the Southern Marching Legion was actually quite short of supplies. Food was relatively plentiful, but a lot of medicine and weapons had been reserved for Ironvine Territory. Now that they had this batch of supplies, Victor didn't have to bother finding a way to collect them.

"Salos, this is truly a godsend!" Victor exclaimed excitedly.

Salos smiled and said, "Viscount, your great victory in the southern campaign has given the Northern Alliance Army an advantage. These supplies were originally requested by the Allied Command to be sent to you by the Merchant Guild."

Furthermore, Young Master Alex has granted me the authority to provide you with any intelligence you require."

Victor was extremely grateful and patted Salos on the shoulder. "Salos, you've been a great help."

When I meet Alex, I will definitely tell him about your achievements.

Salos quickly waved his hand. "Your Excellency is too kind. When you were in York County, you spoke up for me and spared the young master from punishment. Later, you even took me with you when you left York County, making me go from a mere steward to a branch president. You have done me a great favor."

Besides, these were things that Young Master Alex asked me to do; they were things I should do.

"Let's keep things separate. I'll help you get the credit. Oh, and there's one more thing I need your help with!"

"Please give your instructions!"

"I need you to deliver this battle report safely to Alex, and also find me detailed battle reports from all the battlefields, the more detailed the better."

"No problem, Lord Victor."

Victor then arranged for his men to receive the supplies and handed over the detailed battle report he had prepared to Salos.

Salos hurriedly left with the battle report, partly to send it to the Northern Alliance Army as soon as possible, and partly to prepare the battle reports for Victor.

After acquiring the supplies, Victor promptly changed his itinerary. His initial plan was to rest in Sunset City, mainly to collect war supplies, but now that step could be skipped.
