Chapter 1269 (1/2)

As the civil war in the underground world intensified, the situation on the surface became treacherous due to the expeditionary forces of the void empire.

Expeditionary warfare has not never happened, but it is mostly an indirect war.

For example, the qainas Empire, known as the overlord in the east of the miracle continent, once launched an expedition to the * * * kingdom in the south of the continent, but it was only because the two countries were too close to each other; Then there is the conflict between the northern principality Federation in the north of the mainland and the St. Joels empire in the south of the mainland; And the Emilia Empire, which is also located in the north of the mainland, and the Millennium covenant Empire, which is located in the west of the mainland, are hostile to each other.

However, no matter what contradictions and small-scale conflicts these big powers and empires have with each other, it is because these countries are too close to each other, so there will be inevitable conflicts and frictions in the overall development of the country.

It is absolutely a miracle that the void Empire directly declared war on the Principality of rumbel. In tens of thousands of years since the end of the chaotic era, this kind of wood is extremely hard and can almost be used as iron, but it is not heavy in itself. What is more valuable is that this kind of wood has a certain degree of cold resistance and fire resistance, Even without special alchemy, this wood is difficult to ignite by fire or freeze into ice. Compared with the red dragon wood preferred by aristocrats, black dragon wood is more widely used in military, and the price is also higher.

The cost of these five carriages alone is as high as millions of gold coins, not to mention other low-key but extremely expensive and luxurious axles, wheels, guardrails, pedals and other accessories.

On the miracle continent, there are not many families who can afford to use black dragon wood as carriages - compared with the power pattern of many empires and kingdoms, there are absolutely few families who can take out five carriages made of black dragon wood at one go. Even the royal families of the seven empires are likely to have only two or three. It's not that these rich imperial royalty can't afford the price, but the exploitation of black dragon wood is extremely difficult. It often takes several years to cut down a black dragon tree, and it usually takes three to five black dragon tree logs to make a carriage.

Of course, what makes the black dragon wood more precious is that the black dragon wood carriage is produced in only one place in the whole miracle continent, that is, the capital of trade.

Because of this, the void Empire still has no carriage made of black dragon wood. In addition to the poor relationship with the trade capital itself, the more reason is that the details of the void empire are still insufficient: according to Neil's budget, the monthly financial balance of the void empire is less than 100000 gold coins. After all, the monthly military expenditure is a figure that can make anyone feel stunned.

Of course, a large part of this situation is also due to the lack of financial sources of the void empire.

But in the final analysis, it is still that sentence.

The foundation of the void empire is still too shallow.

At present, Hera's disagreement has opened an expeditionary war, which is a great burden for Neil.

After all, the previous wars did not exert so much pressure on the void Empire, simply because Haila and William both took the predatory way of supporting the war by fighting, which could meet the expenses of the armies of the void Empire to a great extent. Now, with the establishment of the void Empire and the establishment of various border lines, the cost of these garrisons has suddenly increased a lot, and the expeditionary campaign can not complete the supply of supporting the war by plundering like ordinary wars.

If the battlefield logistics supplies of William and the undead army were not provided by the Millennium alliance Empire, the void Empire would not dare to break out war at will, let alone support Hella's expedition plan to the Principality of rumbel.

At this moment, under the instructions of the camp guards, five carriages soon stopped in front of a large camp.

The doors of four of the carriages opened, and several passengers of different heights, but wearing hoods and cloaks, soon got out of the carriage and walked towards the camp. With the actions of these passengers, the guard leader immediately turned over and dismounted, followed by more than a dozen guards.

Just before these people entered the camp, they had been intercepted by two werewolf guards.

”What do you mean?” A passenger asked.

”This is the commander's camp. No guards are allowed to follow in.” A werewolf grinned and spoke fluent continental lingua franca, ”so you can enter, but they can't.”

”What are you talking about!” The Guard commander immediately showed anger, ”we have the responsibility to protect the safety of our employers.”

”If the main camp is not safe, there will be no safe place in the world.” The werewolf replied humbly, ”just wait outside.”

”What if we refuse?” The guard leader spoke in a deep voice.

Ignoring the guard's provocation, the werewolf guard suddenly raised his head, and dozens of werewolf guards standing around surrounded the group. At the same time, there was a commotion in the camp, which was obviously a sign of large-scale troop mobilization.

A tense atmosphere suddenly rose.

It seemed that there was a commotion, and a dignified young woman came out of the camp.

This man is one of the four giants of the void Empire today, foreign minister Diana.

Seeing the presence of the Lord, a passenger with a sharp voice asked, ”Diana, is this the hospitality of your void Empire?”

Just at this time, the werewolf guard had also reported the situation to Diana, so when she heard the words with obvious questioning tone, Diana's face was also slightly solemn and said in a deep voice: ”for friends, our void Empire has never been stingy with friendship, but for those who try to find trouble, we will not accommodate each other's temper I think my guard has made it very clear that your entourage is prohibited from entering here. ”

”I don't believe in your void empire. If we can't let our entourage enter together, we'll leave now.” The passenger with a shrill voice looked a little angry.

”Escort, take them away.” Diana sneered, then gave an order to the werewolf next to her, turned and walked towards the camp.

It seems that she didn't expect Diana's attitude to be so tough, and these people around her were obviously stunned.

”Just a moment, Miss Diana.” Another passenger with a slightly hoarse voice suddenly said, ”we came with sincerity.”

”If you come with sincerity, we will be very welcome.” Diana stopped, then turned and said, ”but so far, I haven't seen your sincerity.”

The hoarse passenger sighed softly and said to the guards, ”just wait outside.”

”But...” the guard leader seemed to want to say something, but he was stopped by the passenger's outstretched hand, ”I know.”

”Welcome.” Diana smiled, then led the seven mysterious visitors who still didn't want to take off their cloaks into the camp.

Different from what everyone imagined, this space is enough to fill the camp with more than 30 people, but there are only two people at the moment.

In addition to Diana, who led the crowd in front, another person was HeLa Garcia, the Minister of strategy, who was one of the four giants with Diana.

However, in the current recognized situation, the status of William and Hella is obviously higher than Neil, while the other three giants, including Neil, are higher than Diana. After all, the first three have always followed William, while Diana joined the camp of the void empire after the blood flag revenge, so there is a little strange difference between before and after this.

”It's a great honor to meet you, your excellency Garcia.” The passenger with a hoarse voice opened his hood and revealed his old face under the hood, ”I am the president of the magic tower chamber of Commerce, Jiadong, a useless magician These are the president of the harvest horn chamber of Commerce, the president of the legendary firehammer chamber of Commerce, the president of the immortal hammer chamber of Commerce, the president of the sardins chamber of Commerce, the president of the leibina chamber of Commerce and the president of the somas chamber of Commerce. ”

With the introduction of Jiadong, President of the magic tower chamber of Commerce, the other six mysterious visitors also opened their hoods one by one to reveal their faces under their hoods.

The harvest horn chamber of commerce is one of the top ten chambers of Commerce in the trade capital together with the magic tower chamber of Commerce. However, different from the magic tower chamber of Commerce, the harvest horn chamber of Commerce focuses on selling all kinds of magic goods. The business content of the harvest horn chamber of Commerce is all kinds of crops and seeds, of course, there are a lot of grains and grains. The president of the chamber of commerce is also a dark middle-aged man who looks simple, honest and honest. Just as the president of the chamber of Commerce who can occupy a seat in the top ten chambers of Commerce for a long time, no one will believe that he is really an honest man.

The presidents of the legendary firehammer chamber of Commerce and the immortal hammer chamber of commerce are both dwarves. Their long beard is tied around their waist, which seems to make them fat. Although the two chambers of commerce are also one of the top ten chambers of Commerce in the trade capital, the projects operated by the two chambers of commerce are different. For example, the legendary fire hammer chamber of commerce mainly sells all kinds of weapons and equipment, while the immortal hammer chamber of Commerce sells all kinds of craft products.

The cutting and manufacturing technology of black dragon wood is the housekeeping skill of the immortal hammer chamber of Commerce.

The president of the sidings chamber of commerce is a burly middle-aged man with a fierce spirit. The slave catcher who was born as a mercenary has expanded the sidings chamber of commerce into one of the top ten chambers of Commerce in just 30 years. In addition to the slave business specializing in population trading, the president of the sidings chamber of commerce is also strong, cunning Cruelty is closely related.

As for leibina chamber of Commerce and somas chamber of Commerce, although they are also one of the top ten chambers of Commerce, their family business is not as good as the previous five peers. Somas chamber of Commerce, for example, can only become one of the top ten chambers of Commerce by relying on the strategy of small profits and quick turnover. After all, the business of alchemy is not so unique; The situation of leibina chamber of commerce is slightly better than that of somas chamber of Commerce. After all, in addition to selling war horses and Warcraft crystal cores, they will also do some similar intelligence business.

There are seven of the top ten chambers of Commerce.

”Well, didn't Dingding chamber of Commerce, Leiyun chamber of Commerce and brother chamber of Commerce come?” Hella said thoughtfully.

”The brotherly chamber of Commerce has withdrawn from the trade capital.” The speaker was leibina, the president of leibina chamber of Commerce. Leibina, a red haired young woman with warm hair color, ”Mr. Haila, you should know the particularity of brother chambers of Commerce, so they don't need to stick to the trade capital.”

The brotherly chamber of commerce is rumored to be composed of three brothers. The projects run by their chamber of commerce are mercenaries and, of course, various assassinations. It is said that more than 60% of the defense work in the trade capital is in the charge of the brother chamber of Commerce. They buy weapons from the legendary firehammer chamber of Commerce, food from the harvest horn chamber of Commerce, and soldiers from the sidings chamber of Commerce. Then they sell the war subdued prisoners of war to the sidings chamber of Commerce, and sell the spies and collected intelligence to the leibina chamber of Commerce, It will also sell some of the captured booty to other chambers of Commerce in the capital of trade.

It can be said that if there were no brother chambers of Commerce, the blood circulation of the trade capital would be sharply reduced by half.

”Then it seems that Dingding chamber of Commerce and Leiyun chamber of commerce should be the same result.” Hella smiled and said, ”then according to the rules of your trade capital, if you leave the border of the trade capital, you will no longer be sheltered by the trade capital?”

”Lord Hella, what are you... Going to do?” Gadon asked cautiously.

”Lei Yun chamber of Commerce and our void empire are old acquaintances. I just want to invite them as guests.” Haila said with a smile, but her words were full of murderous spirit.

As we all know, when the void empire was just a small Baron, it was incompatible with Leiyun chamber of Commerce, and Leiyun chamber of Commerce even came up with the way of economic sanctions to compress the living space of the void empire. It can be said that the contradiction between the void Empire and the Leiyun chamber of Commerce has a long history, but the Leiyun chamber of Commerce has always been hiding in the trade capital. Especially after the establishment of the void Empire, it has evacuated all the industries located in the Ryan Kingdom, the Hales Kingdom, the kalosa tribal United Nations and the robein knights. Therefore, there has been no good way for the void Empire to retaliate.

At present, with the trade capital almost falling apart, how can the void Empire not take advantage of the fire.

Yes, at the moment, the trade capital is in an unprecedented crisis.

It is absolutely impossible to say that no one is staring at such a large piece of fat as the trade capital. However, the military strength of the trade capital has not been too weak all the time. Moreover, the ”mainland Bureau of checks and balances” of the Peace Council is against it. If it is pushed horizontally by military strength alone, it is impossible to enter the trade capital, Because no country or coalition can afford such terrible war damage.

The big countries that can withstand the war damage are too far away from the trade capital. In addition, if the war breaks out, it's OK to eat the trade capital smoothly. If they can't eat, once they are completely evacuated from the domestic chamber of Commerce by the trade capital, the consequences will undoubtedly be very terrible.

However, with the collapse of the peace parliament, the institutions that check and balance the situation of the whole miracle continent no longer exist. In this way, as long as the interests are distributed well, it is not impossible to occupy the trade capital. Especially after the major mercenaries and mercenaries who were originally stationed in the trade capital and survived by relying on defense work withdrew from the trade capital, the brotherly chamber of Commerce alone could not defend the whole trade capital.
