An "A-level zombie tide" that is enough to threaten the safety of the city has become a stage for Mr. Tust to show off his dark technology.
The eight-armed mecha was killing everyone in the tide of corpses, like an invincible god of war, killing seven in and seven out.
Tust's energy has returned to normal, and there is no need to worry about whether he will faint at any time.
The "steam ball" of super-level technology provides endless power to the mecha, which makes the steel behemoth seem to be tireless and become more and more courageous as it fights.
As soon as the barrel of the gun cools down, the ammunition box is replaced with a round of strafing; after the strafing is completed, it rushes forward and chops...
The low-level zombies swept across the area with one strike, and the high-level zombies almost fell down in one round under the black knife.
The advantage of the mechanical body should not be too prominent in this kind of group war of "shooting and killing masters".
Not to mention the many arms, the four knives, one sword, and one shield were wielded so airtight that the living corpses could not get close at all. Even if he is approached by a high-level living corpse, what the old man likes most with his "Arc Shock Black Sword" is an opponent who competes with strength...
You and I are wrestling with each other, but I have more hands, and I never hesitate to stab you in the dark.
There are almost no equal enemies.
That "steam ball" injected super power into the six-armed mecha, taking its combat power to a new level, almost reaching the extreme.
In terms of the number of enemies killed, Mr. Tust killed three fifth-level giant earth dragon zombies and thousands of low-level zombies by himself.
This astonishing record was less than the volleys of artillery fire on the city walls.
And those giant living corpses were killed, which also made the wave of zombies attacking the city tonight completely no longer a threat.
Not long after, the Coleman warriors and the mechanical knights came out of the city and began to clean up the battlefield. The battle was coming to an end.
The alarm was lifted, and people in the city returned to normal life.
... ...
"Mechanical legend"
Next to Ymir, [Storm General] Balon looked at the six-armed machine that was killing everyone, and no longer knew how to express his feelings at the moment.
The main combat strength of his mechanic army is mecha equipment. You can't see the power of this armor.
This combat power is comparable to the "Top Ten Legends".
In fact, in legion battles, combat mechas can play a wider and greater role than legendary super heroes.
It was originally strong in low-level mechanical armors, but was looked down upon in high-levels. The most important reason is that it moves slowly and its reactions are not flexible enough. Without fighting spirit, it cannot break through high-level fighting spirit armor...
The mecha in front of him has refreshed Baron's understanding of mechanical equipment.
All "shortcomings" are made up for by the super-level mechanical technology that transcends the times.
No one knows the impact of mechanical equipment on modern warfare better than the military of the Omar Empire, the birthplace of steam machinery.
It can be said that whoever masters higher-end mechanical technology will have the initiative in future wars.
Not to mention that this six-arm exclusive super battle armor is difficult to operate, but can ordinary people operate a two-arm normal mecha
One statue is so powerful, so it doesn’t take too many. One hundred statues, why don’t they push across the battlefield? !
At this moment, everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Mr. Tust.
From a contempt for the unknown old man, he has become the kind of awe for the top powerhouses and top mechanics.
... ...
Not far away, Kanosha, who had been observing the entire territory, was indescribably shocked when he saw the six-armed armor.
Her eyes were filled with brilliance, and she looked at Ren's back on the city wall, murmuring to herself: "The friends around him are really monsters."
In fact, there is a "shortcoming" in this territory, and Canosha has already thought of it before.
That is, even if they have this airship mechanical city whose technological level is obviously far beyond the current era, Rennes and the others cannot make good use of their soft power.
Other resources can be solved with money, but technology alone is a big problem.
It is an undeniable fact that the best machinists are at the Royal Academy of Omagh.
In Canossa, this was almost an unsolvable problem.
Top mechanical talents cannot be sold for money. They need a top academic circle, a scientific research environment, and a circle of high-level mechanics!
None of this is available in a new territory far away from the Imperial Capital of Omar.
To put it harshly, the eldest princess Ymir came to establish a new territory only after she failed in the political struggle. Except for those absolutely loyal direct descendants she trained and those demoted "New Deal" officials, no one would be willing to come to this "backcountry" to participate in any construction.
What's more, those truly top-level mechanical talents, such as "Grandmaster" and "Grandmaster", are treated like high-ranking nobles everywhere. Who will come here to suffer
She had been wandering around the city before and was relieved when she heard that there was a "Mechanical Master".
At least, barely enough.
However, now looking at Tust showing off his power, Canosha felt that it was time to re-examine their cooperation.
Renn not only has the support of the high-level combat forces of the Kalman clan, but also has Bazel, the mechanical legend in front of him... He is even a disciple of Irubek Nieto, the former president of the Potion Masters Association.
Medical, military, technology... Of course, there is also the "Black Gold Chamber of Commerce" and the eldest princess!
It’s also very strange that the ties connecting all of this are gathered in one person.
At this time, Canosha suddenly thought of something, turned her eyes, and murmured to herself: "Tsk, tsk... It seems that you are not the right one for this city lord, but you are."
... ...
Ren came down from the city wall and happened to meet Mrs. Canossa. He smiled and asked: "Mrs. Canossa, are you going to find the eldest princess?"
An imperceptible strange color flashed through Canossa's eyes, and she nodded with a smile: "Yes, I have some things to discuss with her."
Renn thought that the two of them were best friends and they would definitely catch up on old times when they met, so he didn't take it to heart. "Oh! Then you can just hang around for a while. I'll go outside the city to see how Mr. Tust is doing..."
"Um."
Canosha smiled and nodded, watching Ren walk out of the city.
Then she went straight upstairs.
He took off the gas mask on his face and walked directly towards Ymir.
Ymir was also very confused when she saw such a stunningly beautiful woman walking towards her.
She was sure she didn't recognize the woman in the cheongsam, but she felt that the face looked slightly familiar, as if she had seen it in some important information.
Then she remembered.
"It's an honor to meet you, your beautiful eldest princess."
Canosha said hello, and then introduced herself straight to the point: "Let me introduce myself, I am the vice president of the 'Black Gold Chamber of Commerce', Canosha J. Crofeller."
When Ymir heard this, his blue pupils shrank slightly, and he calmly looked at the unknown woman in front of him again, and said politely: "Hello, Miss Canossa. I have also heard about the reputation of your Chamber of Commerce. It's an honor to meet the famous president of the 'Black Gold Chamber of Commerce' here."
In the aristocratic system, the status of businessmen is actually not high. Generally speaking, even the richest businessmen are not qualified to meet the royal family.
In the eyes of the old nobles of the two empires, except for them, all professions and people are second-rate!
But in the eyes of people with Ymir's structure, business is definitely a part that cannot be underestimated.
She had considered the issue of territorial trade a long time ago.
But now, her situation is also very embarrassing, and it is difficult to find a suitable chamber of commerce.
There is no need to consider the "Sunflower Chamber of Commerce". Those old nobles wish that her territory was stillborn, so how could they let the chamber of commerce that they single-handedly support do business for them.
And if this monopoly giant is eliminated, smaller chambers of commerce will also have difficulty.
Not to mention that there are very few people who are qualified to cooperate with the territory, and even if there are, almost no professional businessmen dare to place bets on her.
It seems that no one is optimistic that he, a "political loser", can build a new city in the Glory City.
However, in fact, the "Black Gold Chamber of Commerce", a real business giant, had also been proposed by the staff around Ymir.
But didn't consider it.
One is that they have no contact with the top management of Heijin; the other is that her identity is very sensitive.
The "Black Gold Chamber of Commerce" was suppressed and annexed, and the Spuglin family of the Omar royal family participated in the meat-eating.
On this level of contradiction, there is no basis for cooperation between the two parties.
But now, Ymir was surprised to find that there was a president of the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce in the territory.
This Canosha is not one of his own, so... he must be someone from Ren's side.
Thinking of this, Ymir had a vague premonition that his peaceful state of mind was about to be trampled on again.
... ...
Then, as Ymir expected.
After Canosha introduced herself, her first sentence said: "Mr. Ren asked me to sign a cooperation covenant for his new territory. Therefore, our Black Gold Chamber of Commerce will fully invest in the business of this territory in the future, providing early construction funds and Material support. Moreover, I will also move the headquarters of Black Gold here. And my Chamber of Commerce will also provide this city with information that is not inferior to your Omar Blackwater Tower... "
Smart people don't need to mince words at all. Canosha directly threw the heaviest bargaining chip.
Funds, materials, trade, intelligence... each item is crucial to the development of a territory.
After a pause, Canosha said, directly taking out the contract she signed with Renn, and said: "But this covenant was signed by Renn and I. So, I plan to ask Her Royal Highness the Princess what she thinks. "
Ymir, who was not far away, raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.
It was indeed a surprise brought by Ren.
She glanced at the contents of the covenant and said decisively: "Ren is my ally, and the decision he makes is my decision. I have no objection to the terms of the covenant at all."
More than just no opinion? It's like sleeping on a pillow.
The existence of this business covenant really makes this new territory "alive"!
With trustworthy trade, this territory established in the remote mountainous area will be able to truly grow in the future!
After a pause, Ymir was also a little curious about where this magical guy Renn met so many powerful people.
She had not yet recovered from the shock of the "Grand Mechanical Master" Tust, but now there was the president of a top chamber of commerce.
She was very curious: "Excuse me for asking. What is your relationship with Dr. Lane?"
Canosha said without hesitation: "Mr. Lane and I are very close friends and allies. It can be said that it is because of my trust in him that I let my Chamber of Commerce invest in the construction of this new territory."
Upon hearing this, Ymir also heard something in the woman's words. She seemed to have guessed the other party's intention, and her eyes flashed brightly.
Canosha didn't wait for her to think further and said, "I also heard from Ren that you have no intention of building a traditional private territory. You hope to build a 'free city'. I also think this proposal is very good. ..”
When Ymir heard this, the sparkle in his eyes disappeared again.
All the foundations for cooperation are here.
Neither she nor Ren planned to cultivate this territory into a private power.
But as long as the ideas are consistent, Ymir feels that any conditions offered by the woman in front of him can be negotiated.
Canosha said: "But as a business ally, I also want to make some small suggestions regarding territory construction..."
Ymir's expression remained as usual: "I would like to hear the details."
Canosha clearly came prepared. She directly pointed out the dilemma and said: "Your Highness, Princess, you can see that it will be difficult for your troops and the Coleman people to integrate due to cultural differences. Even the people around Renn It is difficult for all resources, including me, to have absolute trust in an unfamiliar ally in a short period of time... The same is true for your subordinates. They will also have grudges against the people on Renne's side. At least for a long time to come. , harmonious coexistence will be a big problem. If it is not handled well, even if the territory is well established, it will definitely be a big problem in the future... "
"Yeah. What you said is also something I'm considering."
Ymir nodded, this was a fact that he had to admit, "But I believe there will be no problem in my cooperation with Dr. Renn. Because he is also my most trusted friend and ally. Although at the beginning of the territory's construction, there will be There are some problems with getting along because of cultural differences, but everything will be fine in the future... Moreover, now that Dr. Lane is here, everything will no longer be a problem."
She thought Canosha was worried that she would compete with Renne for power and increase the risks of business investment, so she expressed her attitude directly.
At this time, an imperceptible hint of joking suddenly flashed across Canossa's expression: "I heard from Mr. Lane that you have shared hardships and have formed a deep friendship."
Ymir is also extremely smart. She obviously heard the different meaning in these words, and said directly: "He once saved my life and helped me resolve difficulties many times. In public and private matters, I and him There is an absolute foundation of trust between them.”
"That's good."
When Canossa heard the words, a meaningful smile overflowed from the corner of her eyes, and she finally confirmed something.
She brought the topic back to just now and said: "The problem of integrating the citizens of the new territory is just a small problem that can be solved in other places. But in this basin, both the zombie tide and the beast tide are fatal threats. If the integration problem is not solved as soon as possible, it will be a big trouble... "
Ymir also heard her purpose and asked: "President Canosha, it seems you have a better way?"
Canosha suggested: "Tell the truth. I am here on behalf of the 'Black Gold Chamber of Commerce' and also on Ren's behalf. I have a proposal that can solve this problem in a short time."
Ymir was slightly surprised. If this problem can be solved, it will indeed solve a big problem for the territory: "Please tell me..."
Canossa didn't rush to speak, but walked over and whispered something in her ear.
Then, Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess frowned, as if she was shocked.
Then he continued to listen and turned into contemplation again.
After a while, Ymir's expression returned to normal and he made a decisive decision: "Okay! I agree to this condition."
Canosha showed an expected smile and said: "Happy cooperation."
... ...
Renn went to see the body of Mr. Tust after the battle and returned to the city. He happened to see Ymir and Canosha walking down the city wall side by side.
Canossa showed a meaningful smile to Ren, but did not come over, seeming to be deliberately slowing down a few steps.
At this time, the eldest princess came over alone.
She said directly to Renn: "Dr. Renn, tomorrow we will gather the core staff to hold a meeting to decide the direction of future territory construction and solve some problems that currently need to be solved."
Renn nodded: "Okay."
There are indeed many problems in the territory now, and we must fight, sit down, and talk to resolve many pressing issues.
The two didn't say much.
Before leaving, Ymir suddenly added something that sounded incomprehensible, "I agree to your proposal."
"???"
Ren was confused when he heard this. What was my proposal
But before he could say anything else, Ymir turned and left.
He also suddenly felt that the way the eldest princess looked at him just now seemed a little strange.
At this time, Canosha came over with a smile on her face and said, "Oh, you guys seemed to be having a good time talking?"
Hearing this, Ren vaguely guessed what the lady said, so he asked: "Mrs. Canossa, what did you talk to Ymir just now? Why do I think she is a little weird?"
Canosha smiled like a fox and said something astonishing: "On your behalf, I went to talk to her about the marriage."
"What?"
Ren didn't react for a moment.
But in a flash, he felt that Canosha must be joking: "This joke is not funny at all."
Canosha spread her hands and said, "I'm not kidding."
Ren looked at her expression and felt that she seemed to be a witness, so he asked: "Madam, are you... telling the truth?"
"Of course it's true!"
Canossa said with a nonchalant expression. Then he said, "I am the president of Black Gold. Although I have absolute trust in you, after all, I have to consider the interests of the Chamber of Commerce. The situation in your territory is terrible now, so I naturally want to help you solve some troubles." , reduce the risk of chamber of commerce investment..."
When Ren heard this, he suddenly raised his forehead and said quietly: "So... the way you are referring to to solve the problem is to get married?"
How can such a dignified princess agree to such a ridiculous thing
Are you going on my behalf
You don't mean... that's what I mean!
When Ren thought of this, he suddenly felt a pain in his balls.
Canossa said: "Yes! I have already said that marriage is the best way to solve the current problem. And then... Her Royal Highness the eldest princess also agreed."
Ren was getting more and more outrageous.
Still agree? How could you agree to such a ridiculous thing!
Canossa knew that Ren didn't believe it, so she briefly talked about the process of "forced palace negotiations" and said: "Her Royal Highness the Princess is a very smart woman, and she naturally knows that this method is the best way to deal with conflicts. Moreover. I represent not only you, but also our Black Gold Chamber of Commerce and the Kalman clan. The eldest princess doesn’t have much more chips than you now, so she has to agree... "
This is half true and half false, and it makes sense.
Unknowingly, the "chips" around Renne were bigger than imagined, and instead the eldest princess's faction became the weak side of the alliance.
But although he Lei is not very strong, his three views are still upright. I will not praise you when you are prosperous, and I will not step on you when you are in decline.
Not to mention the covenant, the relationship between the two is already complicated. It can be said that no one has the current counterpart.
Ren rolled his eyes and said firmly: "I don't believe it."
And he was convinced that Ymir was definitely not the kind of person who would compromise when threatened.
By the way, aren't you two best friends
Is this friendship boat about to capsize
Is this how you deceive your bestie
... ...
"Oh~ It's boring."
After Kanosha teased Ren for a long time, he didn't believe it and lost interest in continuing to tease her.
She changed the subject and added: "Of course she didn't really agree to marry you."
"..."
Ren's face looked like this, and he waited patiently.
Canossa lazily said again: "So, I made a suggestion to the eldest princess. Let her spread a rumor among her direct relatives. Then, if she doesn't take the initiative to refute the rumor, things will happen."
After hearing this, Ren thought for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he instantly understood the brilliance of this move.
But he was still not sure that the eldest princess would really agree to this suggestion that might damage her reputation for innocence, "What... what rumors?"
Canossa covered her mouth and chuckled: "Of course there are rumors that you and her have a relationship that goes beyond friendship... If Her Royal Highness the Princess does not take the initiative to refute the rumors, her subordinates will think that she has acquiesced in your relationship with her. Relationship. But this is not a real marriage. After the territory is harmonious in the future, everyone will still choose to believe her if the rumors are refuted. Therefore, except for the temporary sacrifice of the eldest princess’s small reputation, everything else is fine... "
"..."
Ren listened, it seemed to be the truth.
This "fake marriage" seems to be the fastest and most reasonable way to solve the problem of integrating the two groups of people in the territory.
But he always felt something was strange.
After a pause, Canossa continued: "Only under this premise, the people on the eldest princess' side will agree to you being the city lord. Even if it is... the 'constitutional monarchy' you mentioned. Do it this way, Cole The Man people don’t have any objections, and I don’t have any objections either, and everyone is happy.”
Although he built a new city, Ymir had no intention of becoming a private lord.
But the awe of the imperial class among those under her could not be eliminated in a day or two.
Let a commoner stand over the eldest princess and become the city lord? How can it be! Even an honorary city lord with no real power.
If there is a city lord, in their hearts, it must be Ymir!
But... if that person is the eldest princess's man, everything will not be a problem.
Canossa's plan was really clever.
