Chapter 60 Intelligence_2

```

Logically speaking... if you're blocking me downstream, can't I just go upstream to raid?

But the Terdon nobles can't bypass; they can make small detours, but they can't maneuver over hundreds of kilometers.

It's not because they're stubborn, inflexible, or reluctant to take a detour—in fact, they're dying to.

Take Tie Chi for example.

When he heard others had entered the Newly Reclaimed Land and made a fortune, and then saw his own livestock growing thinner by the day, Tie Chi's heart ached as if it were being seared on a red-hot iron plate.

But Tie Chi could not leave due to the military orders of the fire starters; he had to stay here.

The marching routes of the Terdon people are not merely about "how to walk," they're also a means of allocating interests.

If Tie Chi were to raid elsewhere, it would be like milking someone else's sheep.

Only the fire starters, who decided on the marching routes, also have the authority to change them.
