Chapter 206 Battle of Apshi (I)

"You are the nemesis?"

At the front of the army of Luoyue Town, Earl Philip reined in his horse and looked up at Su Yu on the top of the city.

At the same time, he waved his hand to the back, signaling the army to stop temporarily.

After receiving the instructions from the highest commander, the army behind him stopped advancing and adjusted the formation under the command of non-commissioned officers at all levels to prepare for the siege.

Su Yu jumped down from the 8-meter-high city wall, used [Flash] to land, and walked slowly towards Earl Philip: "Yes, I am the nemesis. I wonder what the conditions of the Earl are?"

"Nemesis, let me ask you." Earl Philip raised his whip and pointed at Su Yu with a haughty look: "I heard that you are going to develop a deep-water port on the seashore in the northeast corner of Apshi Territory. Is this true?"

"Yes, and the deep-water port is already under development. Is there any problem?"

Coastal cities must have a high-quality deep-water port to carry out marine trade.

Moreover, in the next expansion pack, Orlan City and the Demacia State of the Wind Chime Empire will open up a "Golden Route", which is a perfect investment outlet. So Su Yu has already started planning and layout in advance.

"Since you admit it, here comes my condition." Count Philip stared at him with a fake smile:

"My condition is: your territory stops developing deep-water ports. At the same time, you must sign a magic contract with me, and your territory will never get involved in ocean trade. As long as you sign the contract, I will withdraw my troops immediately!"

"Humph, why?" Su Yu laughed angrily.

The reason why he chose the territory by the sea was to make more money by taking advantage of the ocean trade. Now he actually wants him to never get involved in ocean trade? Isn't this a dream?

"It depends on the powerful army behind me and the livelihoods of 8,000 dock workers in Luoyue Town!" Earl Philip said righteously:

"More than 90% of the ocean trade in Oran City passes through our Luoyue Town, which is also the livelihood of tens of thousands of residents in our Luoyue Town.

Now that you are developing a new port on the seashore, it will inevitably seize our share of ocean trade. By then, how many dock workers will be unemployed? How many residents will starve, wander the streets, and their families will be broken up? Have you ever thought about this question?"

Listening to Earl Philip's righteous words, the soldiers behind him immediately looked at him with new eyes.

In the past, the soldiers had a very bad impression of the earl, and everyone was exploited by the earl.

But now, the earl actually considered the livelihoods of thousands of dock workers, which made the soldiers feel warm in their hearts.

The soldiers discussed quietly with the soldiers they knew:

"The Earl is right. My third uncle is a dock worker and he has three children. If he loses his job, what will happen to his family?"

"Our Luoyue Town became rich because of its reliance on shipping. How can we let others have a share?"

"Yes! For Luoyue Town, we must not let other ports grow and develop!"

"For Luoyue Town!"

The soldiers shouted slogans loudly, and the morale of the army rose steadily.

...

And Count Philip's performance was not over. He looked at Tina who was suspended in the air and said coldly:

"Tina Garcia, you Unicorn Knights have no right to participate in the fight between lords! I advise you to leave now, otherwise I will sue you for your actions to the Supreme Military Court of Oran City!"

"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Tina drew her sword angrily.

She learned this sentence from her nemesis, and it feels very appropriate to use it now.

But at this time, a faint voice suddenly came from the wall of Apshi City: "I am Captain Francis. Sir Tina, we are indeed not qualified to participate in the fight between lords.

Sorry, Sir Nemesis, I and the more than 300 city lord guards behind me will not participate in this fight."

After Francis finished speaking, he waved his hand, and more than 300 elite soldiers jumped down from the inner wall of the city wall, and a large blank space suddenly appeared on the wall of Apshi City.

Seeing this scene, the morale of the Luoyue Town army outside the city soared! Many soldiers were eager to move, and they wanted to rush up and occupy the city directly.

The aggressiveness of Count Philip, the strong military appearance of the Luoyue Town army, the heroic figure of Tina in the air, and the betrayal of Captain Francis.

These scenes were transmitted to the major offline live broadcast platforms through the cameras of various anchors on the city wall.

At present, the most popular live broadcast rooms on major offline platforms are all about the live broadcast of this city defense battle.

Moreover, this is the last and most difficult wave of the city defense battle, and the heat is particularly high.

The barrages in the major live broadcast rooms are dense, and everyone expresses their opinions in the barrage:

"No wonder the lord of Luoyue Town came to attack, it turned out that Mr. Ke touched their cake."

"Don't say it, this Count of Razor is quite good at inspiring people, and now his troops are in high morale."

"Captain Francis suddenly turned against us, and Mr. Ke is in danger!"

"Come on, Mr. Ke! Don't let your efforts fall short."

"Come on, Mr. Ke!"

Su Yu certainly knew that the whole network was paying attention to this city defense battle.

Su Yu was not surprised by the sudden turn of Captain Francis.

After all, Francis was a guard of the City Lord's Mansion, and Su Yu had severely offended the City Lord Claude. If he didn't jump out to do something at this critical moment, it would be a ghost!

But out of courtesy, Su Yu still shouted in the direction of Francis: "Sir Francis, I don't mind if you don't participate in this fight. Thank you for helping me defend against the attacks of the bandits a few times before."

Then Su Yu turned to look at Count Philip: "As for this Lord Count. As far as I know, the dock workers in Luoyue Town are living in a very difficult situation now. Not only do they need to work long hours, but the salary is also very meager.

You usually make a lot of money by squeezing them, why do you want to speak for them now?

If you really care about the unemployment of these dock workers, then so be it! You let these dock workers come to my territory, and give each family a resettlement fee of 50,000 spiritual energy coins. At the same time, I also promise to provide them with jobs, and everyone will get a salary of at least 1.5 times that of Luoyue Town! Are you satisfied with this?"

As soon as Su Yu finished speaking, there were bursts of exclamations from the army of Luoyue Town.

The morale that the soldiers had just accumulated immediately dissipated a lot, and they quickly discussed with the acquaintances around them.

"50,000 psychic coins? Did I hear it wrong?"

"Dock workers earn about 400-600 psychic coins a month, and 50,000 psychic coins are equivalent to their income for seven or eight years!"

"This resettlement allowance is too much! I suddenly regret not becoming a dock worker."

"Is this nemesis just saying this to fool us?"

Su Yu heard the soldiers' doubts and then said loudly: "I can guarantee with my identity as the 'Princess's Special Envoy' that there is no falsehood in my promise!"

As he said that, he took out the golden token given to him by the princess and held it high to show it to all the soldiers in Luoyue Town.
