Zhao Guang turned around and continued moving things; these items were all on the third floor, so the speed of transport was much quicker. However, these soldiers, with their tricycle assembly teams, moved much faster than the Beastmen. Zhao Guang finished moving things on his end, and the moving on the opposite side was almost done as well. “So fast,” he mused. “Merely from a logistical standpoint, the Beastmen can’t compare with Humans at all.” It seemed the Beastmen hadn’t considered this, or if they knew, they didn’t value it. Due to their strong belief in their individual power, they overlooked that war wasn’t fought by one alone. How could they possibly compete with humans if they only possessed individual strength and their logistics couldn’t keep up? If it was always the Humans who were strengthening this aspect while the Beastmen lagged behind, wouldn’t the balance be broken again? Let it be, the Beastmen too had upgraded their weapons somewhat. A one-time provision of fifty thousand axes to the Beastmen meant that by the time the war in the south ended and it was their turn, their strength would definitely not be weak. These matters, however, would need to be adjusted by himself later on. Upon arriving at the Human camp, Yars immediately had someone prepare a banquet as soon as he saw him. “Wait, wait a moment, no need for a banquet. I just came from a banquet and I can’t eat anymore.” There was no helping it; he had just come over from the Beastmen. This time, Zhao Guang had let himself go, so he had eaten quite a lot. “As a warrior, how can you eat so little?” Yars argued. “The more you eat, the better it is. If it really becomes too much, I’ll spar with you later to burn it off,” Yars said, slapping Zhao Guang on the back. This time, it was much harder than usual, and Zhao Guang felt a sharp pain in his shoulders. He was, after all, a Junior Warrior. With the nourishment of Combat Energy, his physical condition was now extremely strong. In terms of physical fitness, most soldiers in this camp were no match for him. The only ones stronger than him were probably those whose Breathing Technique was nearly or already fully mastered. With more training, he too could cultivate Combat Energy, yet he still felt pain from Yars’ slap. Well, if you are stronger and physically more competent, then you make the rules, thought Zhao Guang helplessly. “What’s this?” Suddenly, Yars spotted something odd. “Oh, these are tires. Didn’t you say that tricycle tires wear out quickly? I brought some extras this time.” “Great, with these, the combat in the south will go more smoothly,” Yars said. “What, has the battle already begun in the south?” Zhao Guang asked, surprised. Yars’ expression grew more severe. “Indeed, the battle has started. We can’t afford to delay longer. If we keep delaying, the autumn harvest will be affected, and even the Klein Empire would have to take note of that.” There was also the matter of the autumn harvest. It seemed that not all their soldiers were professional soldiers. “I understand. If there’s anything else you need, just let me know as soon as possible,” Zhao Guang said. Yars said directly, “Prepare more tricycles. We’ve discovered that they are really useful. The load they can carry is huge, and they’re very agile; one person can ride them around everywhere.” Utilizing these extensively in transport was much more effective than using carts or bullock carts. After experiencing the benefits, why wouldn’t they like them? The frontline had already seen multiple battles, and because of their stronger transporting capacity, they had gained an advantage. “Then I’m relieved. I also brought some goods this time,” Zhao Guang said. Yars’ eyes lit up. “Is it coffee? How much did you bring?” Huh? Coffee, does Yars want this stuff? Zhao Guang was puzzled. Looking back, their attitude last time didn’t seem to favor it. What Yars liked was chili oil, while Yalugo was all about crystal sugar. “Is coffee very popular? I thought you didn’t like it.” “How could we not like it? That flavor, it didn’t feel like much initially, but the more we tasted it, the better it seemed. Wait, you haven’t prepared any, have you?” Yalugo also walked over. Yalugo wasn’t much interested in weapons, but he did value enjoyment. Zhao Guang felt a bit embarrassed: “Haha, I thought you didn’t like it, so I didn’t prepare any.” “Next time, no, the sooner the better, it matters a lot to how the nobles perceive you.” Many people knew that these things came from Zhao Guang. If Zhao Guang was just a merchant, people wouldn’t care much. But Zhao Guang was now a knight, a member among the nobles. Being a member of the nobles, there were certain accomplishments that other nobles couldn’t take from him. However, there were indeed many things they coveted. Although the coffee he had brought last time was not much, it had been distributed by two people as samples. That had quickly become all the rage. As one of the beverages that had conquered the world on Earth, it naturally had its unique appeal. Zhao Guang might not like it himself, but he couldn’t deny the fact that many others did. Besides, the beverages in this world were not up to much, which only highlighted it further. “Alright, fine, I’ll prepare some when I get back,” Zhao Guang said, a bit uneasily. If he had known earlier, he would have had his older sister prepare some. After all, it was only instant coffee; it wasn’t a big deal. What he didn’t know was that many of the nobles were currently researching. Since Zhao Guang had provided them with condiments and various items without changing the scripts, it gave those nobles and scholars something to study. However, no matter how much they researched, they couldn’t understand what it meant without Zhao Guang’s input. Eventually, everyone concluded that these were a special script, unrelated to their own scripts. The conclusion they derived from this was that Zhao Guang came from a place very far from them, a place they did not understand. Without Zhao Guang, obtaining these goods by themselves would be very difficult. Some nobles had initially thought of controlling Zhao Guang but, after being warned by the upper echelons, they all abandoned the idea. And since they couldn’t exert pressure on Zhao Guang, the pressure then fell on Yars and Yalugo and others. “Then that’s fine. Come with us,” the two said, somewhat regretfully thinking back. “Speaking of which, we didn’t taste much of the coffee you brought last time.” If only they had known, they should have kept more. No, rather, they should have made Zhao Guang realize its importance much earlier. “The goods you’ve brought this time, we are very satisfied. With this batch of iron ingots, the south will be much more secured,” they continued. “Actually, I didn’t come to deliver those this time. I’ve been to other places in the past few days, specifically preparing some painkillers. But speaking of which, these things are really hard to manage,” Zhao Guang whispered, knowing that such things couldn’t be mentioned carelessly.
