The weather in mid-November is still warm and warm in the Principality of Standing, and people can still wander around in single clothes. However, in the Muerto Mountains at the junction of the Kingdom of Lampali and the Kingdom of Sac, it often means that it has entered the middle of winter. △The top novel,
Three days ago, a heavy snowfall 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 it cleared up again.
As soon as the sun hit the ground, the small town of Taklin, located in the north of the Muerto Mountains, within the Kingdom of Sac, and only thirty 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 all the way from the north of the Sac Kingdom. At the same time, groups of convoys also crossed the Muerto Mountains in the south and arrived from the Lampali Kingdom over a greater distance.
Countless people speaking with the accents of the Sark Kingdom and the Lampali Kingdom gathered in this small town, making the town instantly prosperous and lively.
Since the Kingdom of Lampali and the Kingdom of Sak 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 like this for more than four months. It was a lively scene, as if it had suddenly transformed from an ordinary small town into a prosperous big city.
Countless merchants from the Sak Kingdom and the Lampali Kingdom came here with large quantities of goods to trade, which in turn promoted the development of the entire town.
In just over four months, more than twenty restaurants and hotels have sprung up in the town, which has also provided people around the town with a large number of jobs and even opportunities to make money.
Even ordinary farmers in the surrounding villages quickly changed their lives because they were able to provide fresh vegetables to restaurants in the town.
So whether it's 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 the free trade zone had not been established here. How could they have such a comfortable life now
You know, before this, because the small town of Taklin was close to the Muerto Mountains, it had suffered from war and could almost be regarded as one of the poorest towns in the Sac Kingdom.
However, the prosperous and lively situation in the small town of Taklin only makes them angry in the eyes of some people.
Sharon Li Nuer, the commander 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 Army Chief of Staff Aiwe João. Even felt humiliated.
In his opinion, the more prosperous the town of Taklin is, the more serious the humiliation will be to him.
Because the free trade zone represented by this town was actually based on a basis that made him extremely sad and angry, that is, the Sak Kingdom was forced to agree to the conditions proposed by the Lampali Kingdom to open this free trade zone.
The reason why they were forced was simply because the Sak Kingdom could not withstand the Lampali Kingdom's offensive on the battlefield.
To be specific, the Greedy Wolf Legion led by him could not withstand the Zhenbei Army of the Lampali Kingdom.
For Sharon Linur, who had given his entire life to the Greedy Wolf Legion, this was the greatest humiliation.
For hundreds of years before this, the Sark Kingdom had an absolute advantage when facing the Lampali Kingdom. However, during the period when he served as the commander of the Greedy Wolf Legion, the Greedy Wolf Legion suffered successive defeats against the Zhenbei Army of the Lampali Kingdom in recent years.
Late last year and early this year. The Greedy Wolf Legion was even beaten to a pulp by the Lampali Kingdom's Northern Army. It was unable to resist. It even allowed the Lampali Kingdom's Northern Army to enter the territory of the Sac Kingdom and drove straight in. It actually threatened a foot away from the Murto Mountains. Xingyuan City is more than a hundred kilometers away.
This is the first time that the Sak Kingdom has seen such a situation in more than 600 years.
After the incident, the whole country of the Sark Kingdom was shocked, and the Greedy Wolf Legion became the target of everyone's contempt. They felt that this was entirely because of the Greedy Wolf Legion's ineffective combat, and he, the commander of the legion, should commit suicide to apologize.
However, when the Sak Kingdom sent several other legions to fight against the Lampali Kingdom's northern army, they were all defeated without exception.
So everyone in the Sak Kingdom finally understood that it was not that the commanders of the Greedy Wolf Army and the Li Nuer Army were incompetent, but that the Lampali Kingdom's Zhenbei Army was actually too powerful.
For a time, the entire Sark Kingdom became panicked.
Everyone is worried that if the Lampali Kingdom wants to invade the Sak Kingdom with its now extremely powerful military force, whether the Sak Kingdom can withstand it.
Fortunately, at this most critical moment, the Lampali Kingdom took the initiative to propose peace talks.
Although being forced to negotiate seems very humiliating, it is great news for the Sark Kingdom.
What's more, the Lampali Kingdom did not make any excessive demands in this peace negotiation. Instead, it only asked the two countries to open up and jointly establish a free trade zone. In addition to normal trade between the two countries, it also made additional demands on the mineral resources of the Sak Kingdom. need.
This demand is not a direct request, but the Lampali Kingdom will use gold coins to purchase it. Although the price is not that high, it can be regarded as a normal transaction.
Therefore, the Sak Kingdom did not hesitate at all and readily agreed to the conditions of the Lampali Kingdom.
"Those idiots in the Kingdom Council are digging their own graves!" Li Nuer looked at the bustling scene in the small town of Taklin and shouted angrily. "Can't these idiots see that the Lampali Kingdom clearly wants to use those useless magic machines to steal precious wealth and resources from our kingdom?"
Aiwei João glanced at Li Nuer and chuckled: "Li Nuer, I understand your anger and hatred towards the Lampali Kingdom, but if you insist on saying that the magic machine is useless, then it is really true. You’re fooling yourself.”
"Isn't it?" Li Nuer raised his voice slightly. "These bullshit magical machines can neither be eaten nor drunk, so why buy them and take them away? Huh?"
Aiwei Joao shook his head, thinking that Li Nuer's prejudice against magic machines has become extremely deep because of his hatred for the Lampali Kingdom.
"Okay. Even if you say that those 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 so many times with the Zhenbei Army and can only be completely defeated. The reason is because of those damned ones. On the military magic machine."
Li Nuer looked suffocated, and after a moment, he spat angrily 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 the Zhenbei Army will be worse than our Greedy Wolf Army, but without those military magic machines, they may not be our opponents." Joao sighed. "But the problem is, they do have those damn military magic machines. There are more and more of them, and they are more and more powerful. On the contrary, we still have nothing."
"It's all the fault of the damn Magic Court! They said three years ago that they would develop equally powerful military magic machines, but now they have only developed what? In addition to the magic power that has long been outdated and eliminated by the Lampali Kingdom's North Army Except for the trebuchet, they have done nothing in the past three years!”
"You can't blame the Magic Court. After all, this kind of thing is very complicated and cannot be studied in a short time." Joao sighed.
"Then how come the New Flying Chamber of Commerce can develop a new magic machine every once in a while? Is the New Flying Chamber of Commerce much stronger than the magicians in our entire kingdom?" Li Nuer asked.
João 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 the exact news come back yet?"
João looked around and responded in a low voice: "According to the information I obtained from the General Staff Office before. The people sent by the General Staff Office have basically gained trust, and I believe that valuable information will be sent back soon."
"Okay." Li Nuer nodded. "If we can have the same military magic machinery as the Lampali Kingdom, I will definitely make those bastards in the Zhenbei Army fall into disrepute and take advantage of this bad breath."
"Yes." João nodded slightly, pointed forward and said, "But before that, we should study what we should buy first. My guy asked me to buy a new Fei brand magic air conditioner, and my boy asked me to buy it. Let me buy a new Fei bicycle, what about you?”
Li Nuer glanced at the half-winged flag in front of him that was being blown by the cold wind in mid-air. Deep disgust appeared on his face, and he snorted: "I'm going to drink. You can come here after buying it." I."
Seeing Li Nuer striding into a newly opened restaurant next to the road with several accompanying soldiers, Joao smiled and erected the flag of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and several other famous names in the Lampali Kingdom in front of him. He walked past the shop with the banner of the Magic Machinery Chamber of Commerce.
After entering the store, you will find that it is already crowded with people.
Looking around, Joao also spotted 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 area between the two countries, various household magic machines produced by the Lampali Kingdom have officially entered the Sak Kingdom in large quantities. Now almost everyone in the Sak Kingdom is clearly aware of the convenience that these household magic machines can bring.
In just a few months, household magic machines have become a trend in the Sark Kingdom.
Nowadays, if you don't even have a household magic machine at home, you will definitely become the object of ridicule by everyone around you.
Even frontline soldiers like João were ultimately unable to meet the demands of their families and were forced to purchase military magic machines.
In fact, João does not hate these household magic machines as much as Li Nuer. On the contrary, he feels that these things are indeed very useful and can bring great convenience to life.
It's just that he didn't have much time to come here in person before, so now that he has a mission to come here, he decided to buy some on the way.
After wandering around the store, Joao didn't think too much and went directly to the counter of Xinfei Magic Machinery to select the household magic machine he wanted to buy.
Whether it is the deliberate publicity of the Lampali Kingdom or the private reputation of the public, Xinfei brand household magic machines are the best, bar none.
As the chief of staff of the Greedy Wolf Legion, Joao certainly has the financial conditions to buy the best.
After deciding what he wanted to buy, Joao walked to a smaller counter in the store seemingly casually.
The products sold at this counter are shipped from the Principality of Drake, and the waiters responsible for receiving guests are also from the Principality of Drake.
After looking at the counter for a while, João said casually, "Unfortunately, summer has passed. I wanted to buy a magic fan but missed the opportunity."
The waiter narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile: "This guest, summer will always come, buying a magic fan in advance is also a good choice."
João raised his head and met the waiter's eyes, with knowing smiles appearing on their faces at the same time. (Want to know more exciting news about "Magic Industrial Empire"?
