Fatty Shi went to the capital to express his condolences, but Lorist did not go, and asked Fatty Shi to come forward to receive the messenger and go to the capital to pay homage on the pretext that he was not in Hilovas Island.
Are you kidding me? Going to the capital at this time, not to mention meeting the Second Highness, the two of them are in conflict with each other. The most annoying thing about Lorist is that the other party draws big cakes. It sounds nice just to ask you to provide this or that. It is the righteousness of the family and the country.
What if I went to the royal capital and attacked the Qikede Chamber of Commerce? Lorist felt that he still had to stay on Hilovas Island and wait for the enemy's attack. This time, he had to teach the Chicod Chamber of Commerce a profound lesson.
The preparations for the war were proceeding in an orderly manner, and those who should evacuate were evacuated. Instead, Pat found him secretly and asked him to write a letter of introduction to Miss Tresty. It turns out that this guy has already got the beauty Martha from the White Bird restaurant. This time, he managed to get their mother and daughter to agree to go to the Northland and open a restaurant in the newly built seaport city. Anyway, the business on the island is not very profitable. a few dollars.
However, Aunt Natalya, the mother of the beauty Martha, hoped that the neighbors next door, Professor Hugo, and his family would also go there for help. Pat found out that Professor Hugo was a professor of literature and history at the Royal Knights Academy in the Imperial Capital. The family returned to their hometown. Pat remembered the Nicole Academy that Miss Tresty was planning to build, so he came to ask Lorist to write a letter to introduce Professor Hugo to teach.
Lorist asked while writing the letter, and found out that Professor Hugo knew him himself. He was the chubby old man with a red nose who drank a little too much when he went to the White Bird Restaurant for the first time. The lord had nothing to fear, and even yelled that the lord was a pervert or something. He must have seen it a lot in the imperial capital, and he knew exactly what kind of things those noble nobles were.
Not many residents of White Bird Town evacuated. First, they were used to the life on the island and were unwilling to leave. Second, as Lorist expected, they didn't care who the lord was. Lovas Island makes the residents here have no centripetal relationship with their lords. Anyway, whether there are lords or no lords, they still live their lives as usual.
Even the arrival of Lorist and others caused a lot of complaints from the residents on the island, thinking that the lord wanted to develop a large number of construction projects here and there. Although there were many opportunities to make money, it also brought a lot of trouble to the residents and affected them. to their peaceful lives.
On the contrary, the evacuation of Martha's family, the beauty of the White Bird restaurant, drove many residents from Zhoubian to the Northland together. There are dozens of households with nearly a hundred people. These are relatively wealthy families. They are worried that they will be killed in the upcoming war. When it comes to looting, simply head to the North.
The clerks who went to mobilize them to evacuate promised that they don’t have to worry about housing and work. The area of the housing that has been built in the emerging seaport city over there can be replaced by a one-to-one replacement or even a surplus subsidy. As for work, there is no need to worry. The family territories in the north are in the ascendant, and they need all kinds of talents. As long as you have a skill, you are not afraid of not doing a good job.
During the conversation with Pat, Lorist learned that Victor, the lame defense captain in White Bird Town, was also the suitor of the beautiful Martha, but he was young, handsome, tall and fit, (Note: The above is Pat Boasting does not mean that Lorist agrees with him) Compared with Pat, who has full legs, the choice of beautiful Martha is self-evident.
This is also the main reason why the White Bird Town garrison encouraged residents to resist the construction of a fortress castle between the business district and White Bird Town by the Third Battalion of the Guards. , The two are like fire and water, irreconcilable. It's just that Pat's face is full of complacency, full of the superiority of the winner.
My day! At any rate, Lorist was not overwhelmed with anger. The two bastards were jealous and made fun of the family's development plan. He really thought it was the residents of Bainiao Town who resisted collectively. Let’s not talk about the crippled Victor. He was not a member of the family in the first place, and there will be opportunities for the family to clean up slowly after the family has established a firm foothold.
Pat, as a knight of the family, you are still so indiscriminate. Of course, Lorist didn’t want him to hand over the beautiful women, but he wanted to let himself know the truth about the residents of White Bird Town’s resistance to the construction of the fortress. The Third Battalion of the Guards will not be assigned to the abandoned Farama Village. It always makes people feel a bit suspenseful to rely on lame Victor's five hundred defenders who haven't received much formal training to guard White Bird Town.
The days passed day by day, but why hasn't the enemy come yet? Lorist just felt that the days seemed like years, and the Chickard Chamber of Commerce would come to attack Hilovas Island, and he was almost looking forward to becoming a husband.
During this period, Farea formed two fleets and asked Sambawood to take the armed fleet back to the Northland. One was to send the evacuated personnel there, and the other was to transport food and supplies back. Sambawood stayed in the Northland for five days, and when he came back, a series of unexpected things happened, and he became even more respectful towards Lorist.
"I didn't expect the strength of the adult family to be so strong..." Semba Wood finally understood why Lorist had the confidence to start a war with the Chickard Chamber of Commerce, and this time he went to the Northland to open his eyes. However, he really wondered why the same earl, the Earl of Shelley whom he wanted to rely on, was like a beggar compared to this Earl of Norton, whether it was the territory or the family's armed forces, there was no comparison at all. To be precise, the apparent strength of the Norton family has surpassed that of a principality.
Now Sambawood is working hard to become a knight of the Norton family, which is a little bit wronged for him. A golden swordsman like him who wants to become a knight of other noble families does not know how popular he is. But it's not that simple in the Norton family, everything depends on the credit, and it's fine if there is no credit, otherwise it is impossible to be recruited as a family knight.
It was only after visiting the Norton family territory in the Northland that Sambawood became ruthless, even if other families came to invite him, he would not go. The eight Golden Knights' manor castles in Xing'an Yuan alone made him red-eyed, with complete facilities, housekeepers, servants and servants, and the annual production income was between 500 and 800 goldfords.
You must know that Semba Wood used to work as a pirate for a year and only got a hundred or so of Kingford's private money. He hasn't become a Golden Knight yet, but just getting a month's salary and job subsidy gives him ten Gold Fords, which is enough for his wife and children to live a luxurious and happy life comfortably in the Northland.
You must become the golden knight of the Norton family, and earn such a manor castle for your wife and children. This is the ambition that Semba Wood has just issued.
On January 22, Fatty Shi had already returned from the capital, but the attack from the Chikde Chamber of Commerce was still nowhere to be seen. Even Fatty Shi is guessing, will the Chickard Chamber of Commerce wait for the winter and launch an attack in April or May
Speaking of the experience and experiences of this trip to the capital to pay condolences, Fatty Shi also took a deep breath: "The Second Highness is so cruel, he chopped off the head of the second prince Iberia and placed it in the third prince's coffin The poor second prince never dreamed that he would die in the hands of his own nephew. The head's eyes were still open and he was showing horror. He really couldn't die..."
Fatty Shi also said that His Highness the Second Highness delivered an impassioned speech on the large square in front of the palace, declaring that the war to revive the former Krissen Empire was about to start, and no one could stop the people's desire to restore a powerful imperial rule. All obstacles standing in front of this unification battle will be crushed by the powerful army he leads...
The speech of His Highness the Second Highness aroused the cheers and shouts of nearly ten thousand people gathered in the main square, and the sound shook the capital. Fatty Shi said that no matter the residents or the soldiers in Wangduli, they all have a feeling that they have finally come to an end and are finally relieved. The death of the third prince was relieved. Now the 300,000 troops commanded by His Royal Highness are already making final war preparations. Fatty Shi estimates that the war with the Kingdom of Ridleys will break out after the winter wheat is harvested in April.
Lorist continued to wait on the island for the attack of the Chicod Chamber of Commerce until February 11th. Two large ocean-going merchant ships from the Peterson Chamber of Commerce arrived on Hilovas Island, and a deputy from the Petersen Chamber of Commerce came off the ship. The president and a group of people, as well as Dolles and the nearly forty talents he brought from Morente City.
The news that Dolles brought to Lorist is, sir, don't wait here foolishly, the business alliance is now in a mess with the Trimble Kingdom, and it's all bloody, and you don't even care about it. Pay attention to our Norton family's Hilovas Island territory.
After the explanation of the vice president of the Peterson Chamber of Commerce and Dolles, Lorist realized that it was a casual game he had played when he left Morente City. Those two letters played an unexpected role and catalyzed Trin The contradictions between the Kingdom of Bo and the business alliance, and the small conflicts on the borders eventually led to a war.
Lorist was overjoyed. Although he had the idea of causing trouble to the business alliance when he sent out those two letters, he thought that at most it would cause some conflicts between the Trimble Kingdom and the business alliance, and drive a wedge between the so-called sincerity between the two. It was a surprise that the unbreakable fighting friendship between the two had never been expected to directly trigger a war between the two.
Speaking of which, the two letters can play such a significant role thanks to the strong cooperation of Trimble VII, who has only one nerve in his mind. After the attack on the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce, as a result of the destruction of one-third of the inner city of Morente City, countless high-level people from various chambers of commerce and their families were implicated and killed. This does not only refer to the seven giants. Chambers of commerce, but those second and third-rate chambers of commerce living in the inner city have also been implicated countless times.
The whole city of Morente was in a turbulent mood, and the Big Seven couldn't hold back public opinion at all, especially those second- and third-rate chambers of commerce that had been fueling the flames. Members of the Alliance Parliament gave speeches in the street squares, thinking that the Kingdom of Trimble must be punished. Let the murderer whose hands were stained with the blood of innocent people go free, and some people even shouted the slogan to go to the city of Fayes and capture Trimble VII alive.
However, the seven giants of the business alliance are relatively sober. Even the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce, which suffered heavy losses, forcibly suppressed its desire for revenge. They also sent a special envoy to Fayes City, the capital of the Trimble Kingdom, to meet with Trimble VII, and proposed to hand over the two fugitive third-level and second-level sword masters to the merchants. The alliance will be dealt with as a murderer in order to give an explanation to the residents of Morente City, and the Kingdom of Trimble must apologize and compensate for the consequences of the attack. By the way, we will renegotiate the glass discounts for the Kingdom of Trimble in the future. The issue of tax-free treatment...
The seven giants of the business alliance already felt that they were very restrained, but they didn't expect Trimble VII to play a rogue, resolutely rejected the proposal of the business alliance, and emphasized that it was not his responsibility and his order to attack the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce .
Trimble VII was serious and nonsense in front of the special envoy of the business alliance. He believed that those sword masters and golden knights who attacked the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce were a group of righteous men living in seclusion in the Trimble Kingdom. The business alliance betrayed the Trimble Kingdom. Before the glass formula and production technology that mattered to the survival of the Trimble Kingdom were spread out, the business alliance disregarded their life and death, risked their lives and attacked the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce and finally The two letters were destroyed.
Therefore, this incident should be a spontaneous heroic act by civil righteous men, and has nothing to do with the Trimble Kingdom or the royal family. It is simply inexplicable that the envoy of the business alliance should hold himself accountable for this matter.
The special envoy of the Commercial Alliance was almost vomited blood by Trimble VII's reply. The evidence was convincing, but he still pretended to be a rogue and refused to admit it. This is a national event related to the future relationship between the Trimble Kingdom and the Commercial Alliance. Is it handled like this? Simply unheard of.
The special envoy threw down a conceited remark with a gloomy face, turned around and was about to leave, Trimble VII made amends recklessly, and he proudly declared that out of the desire to sacrifice his life for the country to those attackers Trimble VII will declare these attackers the honorable title of heroes of the Kingdom of Trimble, and will hold a grand memorial ceremony for the heroes in Fayes City, the capital of the kingdom, to commemorate those who sacrificed their lives for the kingdom and willingly sacrificed themselves. Heroes who want to defend the interests of the kingdom...
The special envoy of the business alliance was finally so angry that he vomited blood on the spot...
After receiving the news that the special envoy was insulted and Trimble VII's official reply to the attack on the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce, the seven giants of the business alliance felt their faces were slapped, so they made a decision. At the auction held on December 15th, the Mayflower Association bought two letters with a high order of 23 million gold dollars by taking selfies and buying them, and got the formulas of green glass and oil glass and production process.
In fact, Dean Levins of Dawn College, who commissioned the auction of these two letters, did not get such a high auction price at all. They reached an agreement a day earlier, and each of the eight colleges and the remaining seven colleges received 1.5 million. Jinford, Dawn Academy got two million Jinford. However, after the auction, Dean Levins will come forward and announce that all the 20 million Goldfords obtained from the auction will be donated to the business alliance for the restoration of the inner city, and the remaining 3 million will be used to set up the Mancheni Scholarship to support the study of poor students. These are superficial articles, and everyone is secretly making a fortune. However, it has won a wide reputation for Chenxi Academy.
After getting the formula and production process of the two kinds of glass, the business alliance immediately announced that it would produce and sell it by itself in the future, refuse the special glass of the Trimble Kingdom to transit, and suspend the preferential tax-free treatment for the glass of the Trimble Kingdom.
As soon as the news reached the Trimble Kingdom, Trimble VII jumped, what, the two letters that were destroyed by so many sword masters and golden knights were fake? The business alliance is really cunning. No wonder the nobles always suffer when dealing with merchants. It’s all because the merchants are so thoughtful that they use fake letters to perfuse us, making us fall for it and suffer heavy losses...
King Trimble VII, who automatically put himself in the position of the victim, was furious. Now it is impossible to organize a team of great swordsmen and golden knights to attack the Chamber of Commerce Alliance and take back the two letters, so Trimble VII The world ordered the 50,000 troops stationed on the border of the two countries to approach the border of the business alliance, preparing to use strong force to force the business alliance to hand over the two letters and promise not to produce two types of glass...
It's just that Trimble VII forgot one thing. The two or three hundred thousand people in the formerly powerful Cresson Empire couldn't make the Ford Business Alliance bow down. . Usually, when the City Defense Army of the Commercial Alliance patrolled and met the scouts of the Trimble Kingdom, they would yell and curse. Even though both sides refrained from using their swords and guns, there were more and more conflicts of bare-handed fighting.
Finally, the villages in the commercial alliance on the border between the two countries suffered disaster. A group of Trimble Kingdom soldiers entered a village to rest. What is the strength of a Trimble man.
Unexpectedly, they happened to bump into a mercenary team from Morente City passing through here. The mercenaries don't have as many rules as the city defense army. If the city defense army would disarm these soldiers from the Trimble Kingdom, they would send them to the other side's barracks Protesting and awaiting the punishment of these soldiers who violated the military orders,
When the mercenaries found that although there were no dead people in the village, it was ruined badly, they used their knives and guns on the spot, and fled back. When they saw the corpses of their comrades-in-arms, they also became angry, and started chasing and killing the mercenaries. The battle that took place here attracted the City Defense Army of the Commercial Alliance, so the scale of the battle began to expand.
The stubborn Trimble VII was overjoyed when he learned that there were many people killed in the battle on the border. He thought that he could use this as an excuse to expand the scale of the war and teach the businessmen in the business alliance what rules are, so he decided to He ordered the 50,000 troops on the frontier to attack Morente City, and prepared to approach the city before forcing the business alliance to sign an alliance under the city...
The war went smoothly at the beginning, and the Business Alliance did not expect that the Trimble Kingdom would dare to launch an attack. The 50,000 troops of the Trimble Kingdom were unprepared and occupied the two cities at the front of the Mana Hill Plain. It was like stabbing a hornet's nest. The business alliance declared war on the Trimble Kingdom on the spot. They wanted to launch a self-defense counterattack and let Trimble VII taste the consequences of his war.
As soon as the business alliance exerted its strength, the Trimble Kingdom understood what it means to call a dog that can bite and not to bark. Just before Dolles brought people over on the merchant ship of the Petersen Chamber of Commerce, the self-defense counterattack army of the Commercial Alliance not only recaptured the two occupied cities, but also chased the remnants of the enemy and swept across the seven counties of the Trimble Kingdom. half of its country.
The area of the Trimble Kingdom is about the size of the four provinces of the former Krissen Empire, but it is divided into fifteen counties, not divided by provinces.
"Now Trimble VII is crying for help from all over the country, and is mobilizing the kingdom, declaring that he will resist ingratitude to the death, betray the friendship forged with iron and blood, and risk the world to violate the will of invading the kingdom. The business alliance army...."
Dolles said with a smile.
