Chapter 45 The Damn Magical Machine
The weather in the Principality of Standing in mid-November is still warm and warm, and people can still wander around in unlined clothes, but in the Murto Mountains at the junction of the Kingdom of Lampari and the Kingdom of Sark, it often means that it has entered the middle of winter. △ Vertex Fiction,
Three days ago, a heavy snow fell from the sky one after another, and it lasted intermittently for three whole days. It was only this morning that the sun showed its face from behind the thick clouds and cleared again.
As soon as the sun hit the ground, the small town of Taklin, which is located in the north of the Murto Mountains, within the Kingdom of Sark, and only 30 kilometers away from the border between the two countries, immediately returned to its extremely lively appearance after several days of silence.
Groups of convoys came from the north of the Sark Kingdom. At the same time, groups of convoys also crossed the Murto Mountains in the south and arrived from the Lampari Kingdom.
Countless people speaking the accents of the Kingdom of Sark and the Kingdom of Lampari gathered in this small town, making the town prosperous and lively in an instant.
Since the Kingdom of Lampari and the Kingdom of Sark reached an agreement more than four months ago to establish the town of Taklin as a free trade zone between the two countries, the town of Taklin has been in this state for more than four months. It was a lively scene, as if it had suddenly changed from an ordinary small town to a prosperous big city.
Countless merchants from the Kingdom of Sark and the Kingdom of Lampari came here with a large number of goods to conduct transactions, which in turn led to the development of the entire town.
In just over four months, more than 20 restaurants and hotels have sprung up in the town like mushrooms after a spring rain. At the same time, people around the town have gained a lot of jobs and even opportunities to make a fortune.
Even ordinary farmers in the surrounding villages quickly changed their lives because they were able to provide fresh vegetables to the restaurants in the town.
So no matter the people in the small town of Taklin. Or the farmers of the Sac Kingdom in the surrounding villages. They are all very grateful for the agreement reached between the two countries.
If it weren't for the establishment of a free trade zone here. How could they have such a comfortable life now?
You know, before that, the town of Taklin was almost one of the poorest towns in the Kingdom of Sark because it was close to the Murto Mountains and suffered from wars.
However, in the eyes of some people, the prosperity and bustle of Taklin town will only make them feel angry.
Sharon Li Nuer, the head of the Greedy Wolf Legion, is one of them.
He was very angry every time he was dragged to the small town of Taklin by the chief of staff of the army, Aiwei Joao. Even feel humiliated.
In his opinion, the more prosperous Taklin town was, the more humiliating it was to him.
Because the free trade zone represented by this small town is actually based on a foundation that makes him extremely sad, that is, the Kingdom of Sark was forced to agree to the conditions proposed by the Kingdom of Lampari to open this free trade zone.
The reason why it was forced was very simple, because the Kingdom of Sark could not resist the attack of the Kingdom of Lampari on the battlefield.
Specifically, the Greedy Wolf Legion led by him could not resist the northern army of the Lampari Kingdom.
For Sharon Li Nuer who gave his whole life to the Greedy Wolf Legion first, this is the greatest humiliation.
For hundreds of years before this, the Kingdom of Sark had an absolute advantage when facing the Kingdom of Lampari. However, during his time as the head of the Greedy Wolf Legion, the Greedy Wolf Legion has suffered successive defeats against the Northern Army of the Kingdom of Lampari in recent years.
late last year and early this year. The Greedy Wolf Legion was even beaten to pieces by the northern army of the Lampari Kingdom. They were powerless to resist. They even let the northern army of the Lampari Kingdom enter the territory of the Sark Kingdom and drove straight in. Xingyuan City is more than a hundred kilometers away.
This is the first time that the Sark Kingdom has seen such a situation in more than 600 years.
After the incident happened, the whole country of the Sac Kingdom was shaken, and the Greedy Wolf Legion became the object of everyone's disdain. They felt that it was all because of the Greedy Wolf Legion's ineffectiveness in fighting, and he, the legion leader, should commit suicide to apologize.
However, when the Kingdom of Sark sent several other legions to fight against the Northern Army of the Kingdom of Lampari, they were all defeated without exception.
So everyone in the Kingdom of Sark finally understood that it was not that the leaders of the Greedy Wolf Army and the Li Nuer Army were incompetent, but that the Northern Army of the Kingdom of Lampari was too powerful.
All of a sudden, the entire Sac Kingdom became panicked from top to bottom.
Everyone is worried that if the Kingdom of Lampari wants to invade the Kingdom of Sark with its now extremely powerful military force, whether the Kingdom of Sark can resist it.
Fortunately, at this most critical moment, the kingdom of Lampari proposed peace talks on its own initiative.
Although it seems very humiliating to be forced to negotiate peace, it is great news for the Kingdom of Sark.
What's more, the Kingdom of Lampari did not make excessive demands in this peace talk. Instead, it only asked the two countries to open up and jointly establish a free trade zone. need.
This demand is not a direct request, but the Lampari Kingdom will use gold coins to purchase. Although the price is not so high, it can be regarded as a normal transaction.
Therefore, the Kingdom of Sark did not hesitate at all, and readily agreed to the conditions of the Kingdom of Lampari.
"The idiots of the Kingdom Council, this is digging their own grave!" Li Nuer looked at the lively scene in the small town of Taklin fiercely, and whispered angrily. "Can't these idiots see that the Lampari Kingdom clearly wants to rely on those useless magic machines to steal precious wealth and resources from our kingdom?"
Aiwei Joao at the side glanced at Li Nuer, chuckled lightly and said, "Li Nuer, I understand your anger and hatred towards the Lampari Kingdom, but if you insist on saying that magic machines are useless, that's really You're kidding yourself."
"Isn't it?" Li Nuer raised his voice slightly. "These bullshit magical machines can neither be eaten nor drank. What are you buying them for? Huh?"
Ai Wei Joao shook his head, thinking that Li Nur now has a deep prejudice against magic machines because of his hatred for the Lampari Kingdom.
"Okay. Even if you say that the household magic machines are useless. But do you dare to say that the military magic machines are also useless? Don't forget. We have fought against the Zhenbei Army so many times and we can only be completely defeated. on the military magic machinery."
Li Nur's expression was suffocated, and after a while, he angrily spit on the snow beside him.
"Bah! If it weren't for those damn military magic machines, how could the Zhenbei Army beat us?"
"Although I don't think the quality of Zhenbei Army will be worse than our Greedy Wolf Army, but if they don't have those military magic machines, they really might not be our opponents." Joao sighed. "But the problem is, they do have those damn military magical machines. And there are more and more of them, and their power is getting stronger and stronger. On the contrary, we still have nothing."
"It's all the damn magic court's fault! They said three years ago that they would develop the same powerful military magic machinery, but now they only researched what? Except for the magic power that was outdated and eliminated by the northern army of the Lampari Kingdom." Outside of the catapult, they have done nothing for the past three years!"
"It can't be blamed on the Magic Court. After all, this kind of thing is very complicated, and it can't be researched in a short time." Joao sighed.
"Then how can the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce research a new magic machine every once in a while? Is the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce much stronger than the magicians in our entire kingdom?" Li Nuer asked.
Joao was speechless for a while. Then he smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe it's because Xu Yi, the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, is a genius."
Li Nuer cursed a few words, and suddenly his expression changed. He lowered his voice and asked, "Speaking of which, didn't the Military Staff Office say that the operation was successful a long time ago? Why hasn't there been any definite news yet?"
Joao looked around, and replied in a low voice: "According to the information I obtained from the General Staff Department. The people sent by the General Staff Department have basically gained trust, and I believe that valuable information will come back soon."
"Okay." Li Nuer nodded. "If we can have the same military magic machinery as the Lampari Kingdom, I will definitely blow the bastards of the Zhenbei Army to the ground and vent my anger."
"Yeah." Joao nodded slightly, pointed to the front and said, "But before that, let's study what we should buy first. My family called me and asked me to buy a new flying magic air conditioner to go back, and my kid is Let me buy a Xinfei brand bicycle, how about you?"
Li Nuer glanced at the banner in front of him that was swaying in mid-air and was blown by the cold wind, with deep disgust on his face, he snorted coldly: "I'm going to drink, you buy it and come find it." I."
Seeing Li Nur strode into a newly opened restaurant next to the road with a few accompanying soldiers, Joao smiled, and erected the banner of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and several other famous restaurants in the Kingdom of Lampari to the front. The shop with the banner of the Magic Machinery Chamber of Commerce walked over.
Once you enter the store, you will find that it is already full of people.
Looking around, Joao also found several acquaintances.
Obviously, like Joao, they were encouraged by their families to come here to buy some useful household magic machines.
Since the opening of the free trade zone between the two countries, various household magic machines produced by the Kingdom of Lampari have officially entered the Kingdom of Sark in large quantities. Now almost everyone in the Kingdom of Sark has clearly realized the convenience that these magic household machines can bring.
In just a few months, household magic machines have become a trend in the Kingdom of Sark.
Now if you don't even have a household magic machine at home, you will definitely be the object of ridicule by everyone around you.
And even a frontline soldier like Joao couldn't meet the demands of his family in the end, and was forced to buy military magic machines.
In fact, Joao doesn't hate these household magic machines like Li Nuer. On the contrary, he thinks that these things are really useful and can bring great convenience to life.
It's just that he didn't have much time to come here in person before, and now he decided to buy some back when he had a mission to come here.
After wandering around in the store, Joao didn't think too much, and went directly to the counter of Xinfei brand magic machinery to choose the household magic machinery he wanted to buy.
Whether it is the deliberate publicity of the Lampari Kingdom or the public's private word-of-mouth, it is shown that Xinfei brand household magic machinery is the best, there is no one.
As the chief of staff of the Greedy Wolf Corps, Joao certainly has the financial conditions to buy the best.
After confirming what he wanted to buy, Joao casually walked to a smaller counter in the store.
The goods sold at this counter were shipped from the Principality of Drake, and the waiter in charge of receiving the guests was also from the Principality of Drake.
After looking at the counter for a while, Joao said casually, "Unfortunately, summer is over, and I missed the opportunity to buy a magic fan."
The waiter narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a smile: "My guest, summer will always come, and buying a magic fan in advance is also a good choice."
Joao raised his head and met the waiter's eyes, and there were knowing smiles on their faces at the same time. (Want to know more exciting news about "Magic Industrial Empire"?
