Chapter 46 (2/2)
”Well, refining steel is certainly a good thing, but I want to tell the Lord something...”
Edgar weakly raised his hand.
”You say.”
Edgar looked embarrassed: ”Lord, we... Have no iron ore.”
”Poof!”
Donne was stunned: ”how could it be!?”
”Lord!”
Edgar was very aggrieved: ”Haven't you calculated how much iron ore we have consumed recently? First, we have made a large number of iron tools, and then we have built such a large waterwheel. You have also taken some iron ingots - ah, Lord, I have handed over the bill for those iron ingots to miss Fiona - I have been in Ellington for so many years. This is the largest batch of iron ore I have consumed in a short time!”
Edgar smiled and said, ”if the Lord still wants to make steel with iron ore, I'm afraid I can't buy a new batch of iron ore until a month later.”
”Are you kidding me?”
Donne widened his eyes: ”if you don't say it in Ellington, I remember there is an iron mine not far west of Ellington! There is an iron mine, and you can't use iron ore!?”
”Ah? Lord, do you know the mine?”
Edgar was stunned. ”But didn't the others tell you?”
”Tell me what? Fiona?”
Fiona looked blankly: ”I don't know... What happened to that mine?”
Edgar said strangely, ”the iron mine... Was occupied by Baron duvier of caspamiburg in the north.”
Donne looked like you were teasing me: ”Lord of caspamiburg, put your hand here. That Hogg didn't respond at all!?”
Then Elsa interrupted: ”When Hogg was in office, the mine was occupied by a group of Warcraft, and he abandoned it directly. Later, a group of mercenaries in caspamiburg cleaned up the mine. Baron duvier received the news and began to dig the iron mine. It was late when Hogg got the news. Baron duvier's soldiers and slaves had occupied the whole mine, and Baron Hogg attacked it several times, After dozens of people died, they simply gave up. ”
After hearing Elsa's explanation, Donne's egg hurt. He had never asked about the mine before. He thought the mine had been running normally and transporting iron ore to Ellington.
I didn't expect that this TM damn Hogg is still haunted when he is dead. He left such a mess for himself!
Donne was upset. The mine was Ellington's property, that is, his property!
How could the Baron duvier now dare to openly plunder his own wealth!
Although iron ore and copper ore are one of the most basic ores, they are also very important. In particular, the iron ore mountain is also related to Donne's steelmaking plan. This mine must be recaptured!
”Elsa, tomorrow's training plan is cancelled.”
”Ah?”
Elsa was stunned and immediately understood what Donne meant: ”Lord, do you want to...”
”Yes, no one can take what belongs to me. Whoever dares to move my things, I want him to return it ten times and a hundred times.”
Donne said faintly: ”what's more, even in the imperial law, the iron mine belongs to me. Baron duvier ignored the imperial law and openly robbed my wealth. Fiona, what can I do in the imperial law?”
Fiona looked at Donne's side face and smiled: ”of course, tooth for tooth, blood for blood, get it back.”
”Yes, the imperial law is very clear. If a noble's private property is violated, he can use force to defend his rights and take back his wealth.”
Donne smiled, a little cold: ”Baron duvier must have thought of this result when he started.”
Brian laughed: ”big brother, it seems that he is not afraid of you. Otherwise, he should restrain himself after hearing the news of your taking office.”
”Then we'll let him know how terrible the anger of the Lord of Ellington is.”
Donne patted Brian: ”the dwarves should be very interested in mines. Are you interested in visiting with me this time? Relax?”
”Of course!”
Brian gulped up the ale in the glass and banged it on the table: ”my hammer has long been unbearable!”
”Elsa, assemble the guard tomorrow. I want to see everyone here.”
Donne shook his glass and drank it dry. With a ”bang”, the glass turned into pieces in his hand.
Donne said calmly, ”we're going to recapture the iron mine.”
”Wow!”
Elia exclaimed, her eyes glowed and applauded: ”Lord, big brother is so handsome! One more! One more!”
Donne, Elsa, Fiona, Brian, Edgar, Tina: ”===
