The news that the "Black Wind Territory" had been captured seemed to have grown wings. It spread throughout all human territories in a very short period of time, causing an uproar.
With the development momentum of the Glory Kingdom now at its peak, no one expected that someone would dare to actually stroke the beard of Glory City and capture a territory!
With the active activities of various intelligence merchants, detailed information was quickly passed to the hands of various major forces.
... ...
Just a few hours later, a detailed piece of information was delivered to Emperor Dracula XIX of the Sid Empire.
Seeing this information, this old vampire who had lived for hundreds of years couldn't believe his eyes.
"The Black Wind Territory was captured? This... how is it possible!"
Dracula XIX looked at the information in his hand, as if he had seen some fantasy, and was shocked and asked: "Has the news been confirmed?"
Even if he heard about Omar's sudden civil strife and division, he didn't think he would be as shocked as he was now.
Because it is possible for Omar to split.
And the information in this intelligence told him rationally that it was impossible for him to happen!
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The intelligence officer solemnly took out several sheepskin scrolls, which contained several other versions of intelligence.
He said: "Our Intelligence Section has received eight points of intelligence from different sources in the past half hour. The contents are similar. The content that is basically confirmed is what you see in your hands. The [Nightingale] organization of our Intelligence Section, Austria Ma’s [Blackwater Tower] organization, as well as intelligence dealers of various sizes, and intelligence from the Hunters’ Union, have all confirmed this news..."
After hearing this, Dracula XIX carefully looked through the information with a solemn expression.
After a while, he finally believed that the information was correct.
Someone actually captured a large territory in the "Glory Kingdom"
But... how is this possible
Although this is also something he really wants to do.
Now that the "Glory City" has been established, Sid has also been attracted to a large number of hunters and civilians. The old nobles have long been itching to hate it, but there is nothing they can do about it.
After all, Glory City is the only one to the west of the Alcoron Mountains. ,
The two empires of Sid and Omar are beyond their reach, so who can cause trouble for them
But the fact is that not only did someone cause trouble, but they also cost Glory City a heavy price.
The intelligence officer reported: "Our intelligence department has previously discovered from clues that the auction of the 'Black Wind Leader' should be a trap plan designed by Glory City. It should be for the wanted [White Wolf] Bazel and the Barbarians. The remnants... Various signs indicate that on the day of the auction, Glow City should have ambushed a large number of masters in the territory... "
"..."
Dracula XIX listened to the information compiled by the intelligence officer, and the more he listened, the more shocked he became.
With such a strong lineup, even if they were replaced by Sid to attack the city, they would definitely not be able to gain favor. Regardless of victory or defeat, the final outcome is definitely a lose-lose outcome.
Because if you want to capture a mechanical city that is defended by top-notch experts, you can only rely on a mechanical city with at least equal or even greater firepower to break through the city head-on, and then enter the city for hand-to-hand combat...
But the description in the intelligence is: [Thousands of flying dragons descended from the sky, and the Black Dragon City side paid a slight price and crushed them to victory.]
With a few simple words, Dracula XIX was completely confused.
He is the majestic Emperor Sid, what big scene has he not seen before
But the scene in the intelligence was simply unheard of!
Flying dragon riding on the face
What tactic is this
Are there still flying dragons in this world
If the barbarians had this method, why didn't they see it at all during the initial resource plundering war
Of course, what concerned him more was the top intelligence experts who died in battle.
Dracula XIX looked at the information, his hands were tangled in shock, and asked: "The [Black Witch of the Ten Legends] Dia Benilla was killed, [Frost Moon Swordsman] Carlo... Gracie also died in the battle?"
These two people are from their side, although they do not work for the royal family, their friendship is not shallow.
Such a legendary level master may not necessarily be able to kill even three or five strong men of the same level who are attacking him. He can still escape calmly even if he is surrounded by tens of thousands of troops. How can he just die if he says he is going to die
How strong are those barbarians
The intelligence officer responded: "Yes, Your Majesty. According to the intelligence, Witch Dia died at the hands of [White Wolf] Bazel and some barbarians. And the one who fought against Carlo was the [Sword of Justice] back then. Guy Villas. There is information that Master Cavo has also appeared..."
The first-hand information that has come back now is not very detailed. This makes people only know the result but not the process.
Dracula XIX didn't even bother to ask.
Then, he was confused about the [Black Dragon City] that was specially marked in the intelligence.
The ones attacking the city were not just barbarians, but an organization
Dracula XIX asked: "Is this 'Black Dragon City' Omar's city? Why don't I remember that there is such a territory... "
"No, Your Majesty. As far as I know, Omar does not have this city either."
At this time, the intelligence officer took out another piece of intelligence and said: "We have just obtained the latest intelligence. This is from the 'Black Gold Chamber of Commerce', but it is unconfirmed. From the intelligence point of view, the 'Black Dragon City' It should be west of the Alcoron Mountains, in a place called the 'Kalatva Basin'..."
"It's actually there!"
After listening to the report, Dracula XIX had become very complicated, his eyes flickering: "In addition to the 'Xianfeng Pass' leading to Glory City, there is actually another pass across the Alcoron Mountains? Still with us? In Sid? And... you mean, in which basin, a large territory that can resist the tide of zombies and beasts has been established? "
Intelligence Officer: "Yes, Your Majesty. According to the existing intelligence, the city lord is a young man named 'Ren Hermes'. His former identity was a subordinate of Princess Omar. Therefore, our intelligence According to the analysis, this Black Dragon City is most likely the territory of Ymir Spurgeon. As for Ren, the earliest information we can find related to it is the black market wanted notice issued by Prince William in Oma. "
"Was William wanted that Ren?"
"Yes."
"..."
Once the bits of information were gathered together, the whole story gradually became clear.
A "Black Dragon City" emerged from nowhere and suddenly attacked a territory in Glory City.
Intelligence officer: "Your Majesty, I think there is a little more trouble now."
Dracula XIX looked stern: "Huh???"
At this time, the intelligence officer said: "The Black Gold Chamber of Commerce is disseminating this information through various channels under its banner. As expected, before sunrise tomorrow morning, not only our empire, but even all human territories in the Omar Empire and Glory City will Everyone should know the news about the location of 'Black Dragon City'..."
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, Dracula XIX's expression changed drastically!
Although he was shocked by the information he heard before, it was "other people's stories" after all.
It was none of his business, and he was happy to see Glory City being beaten.
But now, what the intelligence officer had just reported was like a cigarette holder that had burned his fingers, and he was instantly shocked.
As an emperor, how could he not understand the potential impact of this information.
The purpose of the "Black Gold Chamber of Commerce" in disseminating this information is also obvious. It is naturally to attract refugees and wilderness hunters!
Here comes another poacher!
A Glory City is already such a headache, but here comes a "Black Dragon City"
From this point of view, he was sure that the information content was 80% true.
Dracula Nineteen was a little angry, why didn't Sid discover this pass!
Originally, if a new pass was discovered to pass through the Alcoron Mountains, even if someone wanted to build a mechanical city there, the Sid Empire would nip the opponent in the bud. Whether it is controlling the resources of the city or directly sending troops to attack...
Such an important strategic location can only be controlled by the Sid royal family.
But now...it can't be killed anymore
Because the "Black Dragon City" has already been built
How did those guys do it
Barbarian + Princess Oma + Black Gold Chamber of Commerce...
Like a huge mountain pressing down on his head, Dracula Nineteen instantly realized that something was wrong.
"Summon the ministers immediately!"
If this matter is not handled well, it may even directly shake the foundation of their Sid!
... ...
Almost at the same time.
Usenbar, the imperial capital of Omar.
Emperor Spurgeon XV is critically ill and bedridden, and Prince Quentin has died unexpectedly. Now the Omar court is arguing endlessly about the heir to the throne.
The old aristocratic group is no longer monolithic, but divided into three interest groups headed by the second prince, the fourth prince, and the eighth prince, who have the opportunity to ascend to the throne.
But the old emperor did not die, and the famous queen temporarily took charge of part of the government.
The first-hand news of [Blackwater Tower] was also sent to Queen Tess Lopez.
In the queen's small meeting hall, several old family patriarchs, headed by the Lopez family behind the queen, gathered together.
Seeing the information in their hands, these veteran nobles also took a breath.
Glory City's setback is a small matter.
They were more concerned about the news about the eldest princess.
After all, now that the throne is pending, some voices in the court want to recall the eldest princess, who has both political integrity and talent, to take charge of the power.
"What! That bitch actually established a new territory to the west of the Alcoron Mountains?"
"This is terrible..."
"I don't know where her luck came from, but she actually found such a pass. Now that the [Black Tide] is breaking out, and with so many innate conveniences, the 'Black Dragon City' will soon become the second 'Glory Kingdom' 'ah"
"After hearing this news, the reformists in the DPRK are afraid that they will resurface again. If we don't think of a way, the 'Black Dragon City' will definitely become a big problem for me, Omar, in the future."
"..."
Upon hearing this news, the faces of the old nobles became ugly.
They were the ones who single-handedly excluded Ymir from Omar's high-level political circle.
I didn’t expect that Ymir’s sudden appearance would cause such a big commotion after disappearing for half a year.
Now, how do they feel when they see their former "abandoned son" grow up
Moreover, they also saw the powerful relationship behind this information.
The emergence of this "Black Dragon City" will definitely intensify the population loss in the Omar Empire.
With the loss of population, they, the old nobles, are the ones who suffer the most.
On weekdays, it seems that civilians are a bunch of untouchables, and their lives are worthless.
But once the territory loses a large number of people, there will be no people to farm and work, and there will be no low-cost craftsmen... and there will be no targets for them to exploit the high taxes.
Without the untouchables and low-level hunters in the territory, why are their nobles noble? Who are they more noble than
In the past, common people had no place to go, because nobles all over the world were the same.
Now there is a "Glory City" where you can make a fortune, and there is also a "Black Dragon City"
This is to directly cut off their foundation.
But just when the Duke and Marquis were worried, someone made another proposal.
"Everyone, I think it is good news for us. Since it is the territory established by Ymir, it is naturally the territory of my Omar? In the royal family, when the time comes, we can find an excuse to transfer Ymir back and send another royal family If our members take charge of it, wouldn’t Black Dragon City be ours?”
As soon as these words came out, it seemed that the door to a new world had opened.
A kind of wolf-like green light appeared in the eyes of the old nobles.
"Eh, that's right! After all, Ymir is a member of the royal family. Isn't her territory our Omar's territory? This 'Black Dragon City' is not a threat to us, but it is a huge good news. ! If this is in our hands, doesn’t it mean that we also have the endless resources west of the Alcoron Mountains?”
"But, the lord of Black Dragon City is not Ymir at all, but a guy named 'Ren Hermes'?"
"Haha~ How is it possible! Ymir has noble royal blood flowing in her body. If she is not a lord, can she be someone else? Or if she is willing to agree, will the people agree? I have read the intelligence, and the one named Ren is an unknown person. They are just like this, they have no foundation at all. They are probably just puppets used as shields, so don’t pay attention to them..."
"However, if we want to seize Black Dragon City, the most important thing... we must first transfer Ymir back to the imperial capital."
"She has been tricked by us so many times before, and now she has been granted the title of king and established such a new territory. She will definitely not put herself in danger and return to the imperial capital. It will not be easy to bring her back."
"..."
Just when everyone felt that the topic had reached a dead end and there was nothing they could do, the beautiful Queen thought of something and spoke confidently.
"It's not completely impossible..."
Hearing this, the conspirators seemed to have seen
Discussions have even begun on the distribution of benefits after acquiring "Black Dragon City".
... ... .
And almost at the same time when the queen got the information, in the secret prison of Oma Palace, a guy with narrowed eyes was boredly reading a piece of information that had just been sent.
After he read the entire information, his expression became very exciting.
After a while, he squinted his eyes and murmured to himself: "Tsk tsk... This is interesting. I asked why that guy could draw my 'clown card'. It turns out that he is the most uncertain card. ah."
Putting down the information, he tapped his fingers on the wooden table, making a rhythmical ringing sound, as if he was thinking about something else.
At this time, a sarcastic smile suddenly overflowed from the corner of Metternich's mouth, and he said to himself: "Tsk, tsk, that Queen is probably planning on Black Dragon City at the moment. Hehe, why don't you transfer Ymir back to the emperor?" No matter what, those guys' plans can't work. Let me think about it, what reason can there be to bring her back... "
After a while, he seemed to have figured out something, and showed a bored expression, "The eldest princess seems to have come back just in time to see the last drama before Oma's collapse."
... ... .
The royal families of the two empires were the first to get the information.
And not long after, Sid, Omar, Glory City... In almost all human territories, intelligence dealers, chambers of commerce, taverns, hunters, labor unions... and even underground gangs all obtained detailed information. intelligence.
Everyone knew about the war in the "Black Wind Territory" and also knew about the existence of "Black Dragon City".
"What! The hunting tax rate in 'Black Dragon City' is only about 10%? Even in the territories with the poorest resources, the hunting tax rate has reached 50%, and the major cities in the Kingdom of Glory have a hunting tax rate of 80 to 90%. This... How can it be?"
"Children of permanent residents also enjoy free education, affordable medical care, and basic potion benefits? Isn't that a right that only noble men enjoy..."
"No nobles? Everyone has a chance to run for 'officer'?"
"Also, the [Black Mist Anti-Poison Potion] that was said to be able to solve the poisonous mist is also a specialty of 'Black Dragon City', and the price is very cheap..."
"It can't be fake, right?"
"Is it fake? It's all drawn on the map. You'll know just by looking at it?"
"..."
Because Canosha had already prepared, relying on the "Black Gold Chamber of Commerce"'s business network and intelligence system throughout all major human territories, the various welfare policies of "Black Dragon City" quickly spread.
This is the real "bombshell"!
