Lord of War

  Just as the civil war in the underground world became more and more fierce, the situation on the surface also became treacherous due to the expeditionary force of the Void Empire.

  Expeditionary warfare has not never happened, but it was mostly an indirect war.

For example, the Chenas Empire, known as the overlord in the eastern part of the Marvel Continent, once launched an expedition against the Fascist Kingdom located in the southern part of the continent, but that was only because the territories of the two countries were too close; another was located in the northern part of the continent. There is quite a disagreement between the Commonwealth of the Northern Duchy and the Empire of St. Joels located in the southern part of the continent; and the Emilia Empire, also located in the northern part of the continent, and the Millennium Covenant Empire located in the western part of the continent, are hostile to each other.

   Regardless of the contradictions and small-scale conflicts between these big countries and empires, it is because these countries are too close to each other, so there will be inevitable conflicts and frictions in the development and growth of the country as a whole.

  And like the Void Empire, the declaration of war directly against the Duchy of Lumber is definitely the first time in tens of thousands of years since the end of the chaotic era.

  You must know that the Void Empire is located at the southern end of the mainland, while the Duchy of Lumbel is located at the northern end of the mainland. This north-south separation spans the entire wonderland. Not to mention the terrible supply line, just the marching speed, this would take at least two years-an expeditionary war is no better than casual travel. Back then, it took Sean and others nearly a year to cross from the Kingdom of Portoroa to the Principality of Lane. In time, the marching of the army must take into account the situation of the entire army, so the marching speed will naturally be slower.

  As for the use of the teleportation array, not to mention that no country can afford the expensive cost of transmitting an army over a long distance. Even if it can afford it, no country will agree to the transmission of a third-party army. After all, the teleportation array is built in the city. If an army is allowed to enter the kingdom city through the teleportation array, if the army is malicious in mind, then it is really shooting itself in the foot. .

  Especially, the army that the Void Empire dispatched this time was not an ordinary army, but an ace army with a prestigious reputation.

  In the past ten years, the changes in the situation in the South Continent can be described as unpredictable.

First, the national war between the Principality of Ryan and the Kingdom of Darbion broke out suddenly: what was originally just a controversial abandoned territory and the conflict between several little nobles in the south of the Kingdom of Darbion, it turned out to cause a war between the two countries. Fuse. But what people did not expect was that in this war, the Kingdom of Darbion was defeated, and it was defeated so thoroughly that this country with a history of more than a thousand years became history.

  It was also in this war that an unfamiliar name broke into the field of vision of many countries in the Southern Continent: Sean Connery.

The lord with a mysterious background became the best-interest winner second only to the Kingdom of Lane in this battle: After the Principality of Lane was upgraded to restore the kingdom's honor, the territory he won in the war was recognized by the Kingdom of Lane as an independent dominion. , And allow it to establish a void duchy.

And after the end of this national war, just when everyone turned their eyes on the Kingdom of Lane, this mysterious black-haired lord did what countless countries, even the Pan-Continental Chamber of Commerce, could not do. Thing: He ruled the entire wilderness. By the time others discovered this, all the tribes in the Wildlands had bowed their heads to the Void Duchy, and completely got rid of the Wildlands and became slaves in the back gardens of other surrounding countries.

  Of course, it is not that no country has protested against this.

  But it turned out that the Void Principality chopped off all the claws that tried to reach out to grab the meat, and this also led to two battles that broke out later: the blood flag revenge and the war against the fascist kingdom. It even triggered a major event that changed the situation of the entire Miracle Continent: the destruction of the Peace Council.

  And all this is the origin of the creation of the void empire.

When historians delve into the history of the establishment of the void empire, although there are several different factions about the creation of the void empire, no matter how these factions refute others, they all have one consensus: to rule the savage land is the void. The road of the empire from the principality to the empire laid an unbreakable solid foundation. If the savage tribes did not bow to the Void Principality at that time, or the Void Principality did not rule the entire wilderness, then the Void Principality would never become a void empire.

It is worth mentioning that those historians who have studied the history of the creation of the void empire are currently divided into three schools of doctrines, namely the spiritual leader doctrine that emphasizes the importance of the imperial emperor in the establishment of the empire, and emphasizes the role of commanders in key battles. The foundation-laying war theory, the economic and political theory that emphasizes the important influence of Neil's policies on the development of the empire.

Among them, the war doctrine has two tribes, William Tactical Doctrine and Hela Strategy Doctrine, and the spiritual leader doctrine also has Sean Connery spiritual leader theory and Cecilia Rembel Connery spiritual leader theory. These two tribes-strictly speaking, historians on the history of the creation of the void empire are divided into five schools.

  At present, Sean Connery's spiritual leader theory in the spiritual leader theory has a strong upper hand.

After all, when the Emperor Sean Connery disappeared for a long time, the void empire has not yet fallen apart and Cecilia has not officially ascended the throne, and other important heroes have not tried to seize the throne. This has to be said about Sean Kang. Nali's important position in the minds of this group of people.

  Of course, this is not the point.

  The real point is that in the past ten years, the Lion of Thunder, Cecilia Guards, Iron Wings, Crimson Knights, Conviction Wings, and many other legions that belonged to the Void Empire have established their prestigious names.

Just looking at the performance of these legions in the past ten years is enough to scare countless weak countries into their pants, not to mention the Silver Temple Legion, the Wild Hunter Legion, the Thunder Guard, the Broken Wind Sword Dancer, the Snow Wind Guard, etc. Many savage lands were powerful armies that many countries were unwilling to fight against when they were back gardens—now that all of these armies accompanied the savage tribes to become a member of the Void Empire, and they were all integrated into the Void Empire’s army. In the system.

  Even those big kingdoms with strong national power are unwilling to fight inexplicably with the army of the mad dog empire.

Yes, the Void Empire is now dubbed "Mad Dog" in many countries in the Marvel Continent. All this naturally stems from the fact that Sean completed many kingdoms in ten years and could not do it for hundreds of thousands of years. The feat, and the action that is completely reckless. At least, countless countless second- and third-rate kingdoms and those weaker principalities do not have the slightest affection for the Void Empire, because the destruction of the Peace Council is simply an unimaginable disaster for these countries.

  In the past six months alone, as many as seventeen principalities and no less than seven weak kingdoms have completely become history.

Their land was occupied, their people were enslaved, and the royal family and aristocrats were killed or bullied. The casualties directly or indirectly caused by this were as high as tens of millions, not to mention the continuous The government has been completely overwhelmed by frequent wars. Of course, all things have disadvantages and advantages. With the collapse of the Peace Council, those powerful kingdoms that have lost their restrictions and threats can also develop and grow at a faster rate: such as aggression and plunder.

  The first to bear the brunt is the trade capital known as the heart of the mainland.

  ...

  Located in a camp three kilometers away from the southeast border of the trading capital, a heavily armed force is escorting five carriages into it.

  Although these three black carriages do not have any badges, the carriages of the carriages are made of black dragon wood.

This kind of wood is extremely hard and can almost be used as ironware, but it is not heavy by itself, and what is even more commendable is that this kind of wood has a certain degree of cold resistance and fire resistance, even if no special alchemy is required. This wood is also difficult to be ignited by flames or frozen into ice. Compared with the red dragon wood preferred by the nobles, the black dragon wood is more widely used in military affairs, and the price is also higher.

  The cost of the carriage of these five carriages alone is as high as millions of gold coins, not to mention the low-key but extremely expensive and luxurious axles, wheels, guardrails, pedals and other accessories of the carriage carriage.

On the Marvel Continent, there are not many families that can afford black dragon wood as carriages—compared to the power structure of many empires and kingdoms, but they can take out five carriages made of black dragon wood at one go. Many, even the imperial family of the Seven Empires, it is very likely that there are only two or three cars. It’s not that these wealthy imperial royals cannot afford the price, but the mining of black dragon wood is extremely difficult. It often takes several years to cut down a black dragon tree, and it usually takes three to five to make a carriage for a carriage. A black dragon tree log.

  Of course, what makes the black dragon wood more precious is that the black dragon wood carriage is produced in only one place in the entire Miracle Continent, and that is the trading capital.

  Because of this, the Void Empire still does not have carriages made of black dragon wood. In addition to the disharmony with the trading capital itself, there are more reasons for the fact that the foundation of the Void Empire is still insufficient: According to Neil’s budget, the Void Empire’s monthly financial balance is less than 100,000 gold coins, after all, every month. The expenditure on military expenditure is a figure that is enough to make anyone feel stunned.

  Of course, a large part of this situation is due to the fact that the current financial sources of the Void Empire are too few.

   But in the final analysis, it is still the same sentence.

  The foundation of the void empire is still too shallow.

  At present, Hela started an expeditionary war with a disagreement, which is another great burden for Neal.

  After all, the previous wars did not have that much pressure on the Void Empire. It was purely because Hela and William both took the predatory method of war-raising war, which was able to satisfy the expenses of the Void Empire's armies to a large extent. But now, with the establishment of the Void Empire and the establishment of various borders, these garrison expenditures have increased a lot, and expeditionary battles are not like ordinary wars that can be supplied by plundering wars.

  If it weren’t for William and the Undead Army’s battlefield supplies that were provided by the Millennium Covenant Empire, the Void Empire would have been afraid to break out wars at will, let alone support Hela’s expedition plan to the Duchy of Lumber.

  At this moment, under the instructions of the camp guards, the five carriages quickly stopped in front of a larger camp.

  The doors of four of the carriages opened. Several passengers of different heights but wearing hooded cloaks quickly got out of the carriage and walked towards the camp. Following the actions of these passengers, the head of the guard immediately turned over and got off his horse, followed by a dozen guards.

  Just before these people entered the camp, they were intercepted by two werewolf guards.

   "What do you mean?" a passenger asked.

  "This is the commander's camp. Guards are not allowed to follow in." A werewolf grinned, and then spoke a very fluent mainland common language, "So you can enter, but they can't."

  "What did you say!" The guard leader immediately showed anger, "We have a responsibility to protect the safety of our employers."

   "If the main account is not safe, there is no safe place in this world." The werewolf replied without humbleness, "You just wait outside here."

   "What if we refuse?" The guard leader said in a deep voice.

  Ignoring the provocation of the guard, the werewolf guard suddenly raised a bit, and dozens of werewolf guards standing guard surrounded the gang. At the same time, there was a commotion in the camp, and it was obvious that there were signs of large-scale troop movement.

  A tense atmosphere suddenly rose.

   It seems that after hearing the commotion, a young woman with a dignified appearance walked out of the camp.

  This person is one of the four giants of the Void Empire today, the Minister of Foreign Affairs Diana.

   Seeing the Lord appearing, a high-pitched passenger asked: "Dianna, is this the way your Void Empire treats guests?"

At exactly this time, the werewolf guard had already reported to Diana about the situation at the moment, so when she heard the words that were obviously questioning, Diana's face was also a little solemn, and she said in a deep voice: "For my friend , Our Void Empire has never been stingy with friendship, but for those who try to make trouble, we will not accommodate each other’s temper....I think my guard has made it very clear that your entourage is forbidden to enter here."

   "I don't believe your void empire. If we can't let our entourage enter together, then we will leave now." The passenger with a shrill voice looked a little angry.

   "Guard, take them away." Dianna sneered, then gave the report to the werewolf next to her, and then turned and walked towards the camp.

  It seemed that Diana's attitude would not have been expected to be so tough, and the people around him were obviously stunned.

   "Please wait, Miss Diana." Another passenger with a slightly hoarse voice said suddenly, "We came with sincerity."

   "If you come with sincerity, then we will be very welcome." Diana stopped, then turned and said, "However, so far, I have not seen your sincerity."

  The hoarse passenger sighed softly, and then said to the guards: "Just wait outside here."

   "But..." The guard leader seemed to want to say something, but was stopped by a hand extended by the passenger, "I see."

   "Welcome." Diana smiled slightly, and then just in front, led the seven mysterious visitors who were still unwilling to take off their cloaks into the camp.

  Unlike everyone's imagination, this space was enough to fill a camp with more than thirty people, but at this moment there were only two people.

  In addition to Diana who led the crowd in the front, the other person was Hela Garcia, the head of the strategy department who was one of the Big Four with Diana.

  However, in the current recognized situation, William and Hella's status is significantly higher than Neal, and the other three giants, including Neal, are higher than Diana. After all, the first three have always followed William's side, but Diana joined the camp of the Void Empire after Blood Banner's revenge, so there is still a little bit of disparity.

"It's a great honor to meet you, Honorable Garcia." The hoarse passenger lifted his hood, revealing the old face under the hood, "I am the president of the Magic Tower Chamber of Commerce. Katong, an incompetent magician....These are the president of Harvest Clarion Chamber of Commerce, the President of the Legendary Firehammer Chamber of Commerce, the President of the Immortal Hammer Chamber of Commerce, the President of the Ceddings Chamber of Commerce, and Lebina. President of the Chamber of Commerce, President of the Somas Chamber of Commerce."

  Following the introduction of Katong, the president of the Magic Tower Chamber of Commerce, the other six mysterious visitors also lifted their hoods one by one, revealing their faces under their hoods.

Harvest Clarion Chamber of Commerce, and Magic Tower Chamber of Commerce are one of the top ten chambers of trade, but unlike the Magic Tower Chamber of Commerce, which focuses on selling all kinds of magic items, the business content of Harvest Clarion Chamber of Commerce is a variety of crops and seeds, and of course there are indispensable A large amount of grains and grains. The president of the chamber of commerce is also a dark middle-aged man who looks very honest and honest, but as the president of the chamber of commerce who can occupy a place in the top ten chambers of commerce for a long time, absolutely no one will believe that this is really an honest friend. people.

  The legendary Firehammer Chamber of Commerce and the President of the Immortal Hammer Chamber of Commerce are both dwarves. Their long beard is tied to their waist, which seems to make them fatter. Although these two chambers of commerce are also one of the top ten chambers of commerce in the trading capital, the projects operated by the two chambers of commerce are not the same. For example, the legendary Firehammer Chamber of Commerce mainly sells various weapons and equipment, the Hammer of Immortality The Chamber of Commerce sells various craft products.

  The cutting and production technology of the black dragon wood is the housekeeping skill of the Immortal Hammer Chamber of Commerce.

The president of the Seddings Chamber of Commerce is a burly middle-aged man with a fierce spirit on his body. This mercenary-born slave hunter has grown the Seddings Chamber of Commerce to a large scale in just thirty years. Becoming one of the top ten chambers of commerce is not only attributable to the slave business that specializes in population trading by the Ceddings Chamber of Commerce, but also closely related to the strength, cunning, and cruelty of the chamber's president.

  As for the Lebina Chamber of Commerce and the Somas Chamber of Commerce, although both are also one of the top ten chambers of commerce, the family business is not comparable to the previous five peers. For example, the Somas Chamber of Commerce relied on the strategy of small profits but quick turnover to become one of the top ten chambers of commerce. After all, the business of alchemy medicine is not so unique; the situation of the Rebina Chamber of Commerce is slightly better than that of the Somas Chamber of Commerce. Some, after all, in addition to selling war horses and monster cores, they also do some similar intelligence transactions.

  Ten Chambers of Commerce, here are seven.

  "Well, haven't the Tintin Chamber of Commerce, the Thunder Cloud Chamber of Commerce, and the Brothers Chamber of Commerce come?" Hela said thoughtfully.

"The Brotherhood Chamber of Commerce has left the trading capital." It was Lebina Chamber of Commerce President, Leibina, a red-haired young woman with a hair color that symbolizes enthusiasm, "Your Excellency Hela, you should know, The particularity of the Brotherhood of Commerce, so they don’t need to stay in the trading capital."

The   Brothers Chamber of Commerce is rumored to be composed of three brothers. The projects run by their Chamber of Commerce are mercenaries, and of course there are various assassinations. It is said that more than 60% of the defense work in the trade is handled by the Brothers Chamber of Commerce. They buy weapons from the legendary Firehammer Chamber of Commerce, purchase food from the Harvest Horn Chamber of Commerce, buy soldiers from the Seddings Chamber of Commerce, and then surrender the war. Resell the prisoners of war to the Ceddings Chamber of Commerce, and then resell the spying and collected intelligence to the Lebina Chamber of Commerce, and also sell some of the seized loot to other chambers of commerce in the City of Trade.

  It can be said that if there is no fraternity chamber of commerce, the blood circulation of the trading capital will be drastically reduced by half.

"So it seems that the Tintin Chamber of Commerce and the Thunder Cloud Chamber of Commerce should have similar results." Hela smiled, and then said, "Then according to the rules of your trade capital, if you leave the border of the trade capital, you will no longer be affected by trade. The shelter of the capital?"

   "Master Hela, what do you plan to do?" Katong asked cautiously.

   "Leiyun Chamber of Commerce and our Void Empire are old acquaintances, I just want to invite them to be guests." Hela said with a smile, but the words were full of murderous intent.

  As we all know, when the Void Empire was just a small baron, it was already at odds with the Leiyun Chamber of Commerce, and the Leiyun Chamber of Commerce even thought of using economic sanctions to compress the space of the void. It can be said that the contradiction between the Void Empire and the Thunder Cloud Chamber of Commerce has a long history, but the Thunder Cloud Chamber of Commerce has always been hiding in the trading capital, especially after the establishment of the Void Empire, it will be located in the Kingdom of Lane and the Kingdom of Hales. All the properties of the United Nations of the Karosha tribe and the Robin Knight Nation have been withdrawn, so the Void Empire has never had any good way to retaliate.

  Now that the trade capital is almost falling apart, how can the Void Empire not take advantage of the fire.

  Yes, the trading capital is now in an unprecedented crisis situation.

As a big piece of fat like the Trade Capital, it’s absolutely impossible to say that no one is staring at it. It’s just that the Trade Capital’s military strength has not been too weak for a long time, and there is also the "Mainland Peace Council". "The Bureau of Checks and Balances" stood up, and it would be impossible to gain entry into the trading capital simply by pushing it horizontally with military power, because no country or coalition could afford such terrible war damage.

And the big country that can withstand this kind of war damage is too far away from the trade capital. In addition, if the war breaks out, it will be able to eat the trade capital smoothly. If the domestic chamber of commerce is completely withdrawn, the consequences will undoubtedly be very terrible.

   However, with the collapse of the Peace Council, the institution that checks and balances the balance of the entire miraculous mainland situation no longer exists. In this way, as long as the interests are well distributed, it is naturally not impossible to conquer the trade capital. Especially after the major mercenaries and mercenary groups that were originally stationed in the trade capital and survived on defense work have withdrawn from the trade capital, the Brothers of Commerce alone can no longer defend the entire trade capital. .

  It is precisely because of this that the Brotherhood Chamber of Commerce naturally chose to withdraw from the trading capital after receiving the news that multinational coalition forces are coming towards the trading capital. After all, the business nature of the Brothers Chamber of Commerce allows them to live very well no matter where they are.

Seeing that Hella has begun to order people to "invite" the Leiyun Chamber of Commerce, the president of the Somas Chamber of Commerce on the side could not help but say: "Leiyun Chamber of Commerce... is leaving with the Brother Chamber of Commerce, they The assets of the entire trading capital have been transferred.... The Tintin Chamber of Commerce, because it has a grievance with the Leiyun Chamber of Commerce and the Brother Chamber of Commerce, it has been wiped out a few days ago."

"Oh." Hela raised her eyebrows and glanced at the Somas Chamber of Commerce President who was talking, an old man who was over half a hundred years old as the President of the Magic Tower Chamber of Commerce, and then turned her head to that person. The werewolf guard said, "...If this is the case, let's change the plan. Let Vannie lead the peace team to cooperate with the Scarlet Knights, the Thunder Lion, and the Cecilia Guards. Tell Alfred, if the brothers If the Chamber of Commerce abandons the Thunder Cloud Chamber of Commerce, avoid conflicts with the Brother Chamber of Commerce. Otherwise, invite the Brother Chamber of Commerce over."

  Hella deliberately emphasized the word "please".

   "Yes." The werewolf guard nodded, with excitement and cruel expression in his eyes, and soon left the camp to give combat instructions.

This time, in order to avoid increasing Clover’s influence within the Void Empire, Hela not only transferred Alfred’s Thunder Lion and Dwight’s Scarlet Knights into the Expeditionary Army, but even the Silver Temple Legion, The Breaking Wind Sword Dancer troops and the Snow Wind Guards were also transferred to the expeditionary army, and at the same time, there were 100,000 mixed troops from the Void Empire and the Wildlands.

  As for the strong, in addition to the super strong Alexis and Kozilek, the legendary strong Hela also mobilized ten people to join the expeditionary army. Among them are the Absolute Swordsmen who have just joined the Void Empire. Fannie and the three legendary powerhouses who have turned to the Void Empire from the Peace Council, two legendary powerhouses who have come to rely on the powerful reputation of the Void Empire, and who belonged to The two legendary powerhouses of the Brofeng Tribe and the Xuefeng Tribe: Sword Dancer Winia, Marksman Marton, the current commander of the Silver Temple Legion, Wolf King Olianna, and the demon descendant who has been responsible for protecting Hela’s safety. Son. Harding et al.

   Hearing that Hella did not hesitate to send such a powerful lineup to chase the Thunder Cloud Chamber of Commerce and the Brothers Chamber of Commerce, even if they knew that they were getting off the ground, Katong still felt shocked. And when he saw the tangled look on his companion’s face, he knew that their preparation for the negotiation this time was useless: after all, their mentality was already at a disadvantage before the formal negotiation began. Then the outcome of this negotiation can be imagined.

  Thinking of this, Katong felt bitter.

   But no matter how bitter he was, he had to speak, after all, his Magic Tower Chamber of Commerce has always been the first of the top ten chambers of commerce.

"Before we officially talk about our intentions, I have a small gift to give to Master Shaun." Jiadong took a deep breath, and then said, "The fifth black dragon wooden carriage that is parked outside the camp. We just finished it a few days ago. This is our gift to celebrate the establishment of the void empire. I hope Lord Shaun will not blame us for this belated gift."

"You can rest assured that Sean is not such a stingy person." Hela smiled, "Look at me, I forgot to ask you to sit down....Come on, please sit down, I This will let people add tea for you."

  At Diana’s sign, a logistics staff soon delivered some tea and pastries to the camp.

  These teas and pastries are just ordinary things, and generally only appear on the tables of ordinary people. As Hela and Diana are naturally able to eat better tea. It’s just that the Void Empire’s finances are tight now. If it weren’t for hosting these top ten chambers of commerce presidents from the trading capital, Hella and Diana would not even let people prepare tea and cakes. A bag of clean water.

  The presidents of the chamber of commerce simply ate a few bites, and after a little thought, they stopped eating, but started to look at Diana and Hela.

  It’s just that Diana and Hela are people who have seen big winds and waves after all. At this time, naturally they will not speak first, but continue to enjoy their rare rest time as if they don’t know anything.

  So, the one who broke the silence in the end was still the president of the Magic Tower Chamber of Commerce: "We are here this time in the hope that Your Excellency Hela can protect our trading capital."

"Chairman Katong, you are joking, I also understand the fair and free customs of the trade capital." Hela smiled and shook her head, with an expression of "Don't tease me", "The trade capital has always been With the title of Freedom City, you will never let any country’s army into it."

"Master Hella, we don’t know what to say in secret." Knowing that the negotiation has been defeated from the beginning, and their Chamber of Commerce alliance has almost no advantage, Kadong is also straightforward. "The current situation of the trade capital is already It’s very bad. With only our seven families, it’s no problem to resist the invasion of nations like the Kingdom of Lane, but if it is the invasion of three kingdoms like the Kingdom of Lane, we have to take care of one another, let alone prepare to invade the trade capital this time. The coalition forces are as many as ten countries."

"Our supply line is not that long. If you insert the war between your trading capital and the multinational coalition forces, the cost we need to bear will increase." Hela shook his head, "This is not what we want to see. ."

"In terms of logistical supplies, our Harvest Horn can promise you that we will provide you with one year's food supplies for free." The honest dark man, after hearing Canada's outspoken words about the situation in the trading capital, He knew that they had no hope of negotiating, so he also utterly stated the result that had been negotiated in advance, "Moreover, we can help you maintain the operation of the supply line."

   "Not enough." Hela shook her head, "You know, this time your enemies are as many as ten countries."

"In terms of equipment maintenance, our legendary fire hammer can also help." The dwarf from the legendary fire hammer also said, "Moreover, war materials are not just food, but munitions also consume us. I can add it for you free of charge."

"The problem of too long supply lines, our Immortal Hammer can also help to find a solution." The president of the Immortal Hammer Chamber of Commerce followed closely, and it can be seen that he and the president of the Legendary Firehammer Chamber of Commerce should obviously be relatives. "Our Immortal Hammer is not just selling handicrafts, but also has certain achievements in the area of ​​heavy vehicles. The load-bearing truck produced by our Immortal Hammer has five times the carrying capacity of ordinary trucks, which can greatly reduce the transportation of supply lines. Difficulty and overhead."

"It's still not enough." Hela still shook her head. She didn't say where the lack is, but the two words are enough to show everything. Even the presidents of these seven chambers of commerce know that the void empire is talking about the lion, but They still have no choice.

  "For the supplement of the source of troops, we, the Saiddings Chamber of Commerce, can make a promise to you and guarantee satisfaction."

  "Our Leibina Chamber of Commerce has some original maps. I believe we can provide you with a better choice for your marching route."

  "In terms of medical treatment, although our Somas Chamber of Commerce does not have any good solutions, hemostatic drugs and the like can still be provided."

Hearing that his companions have already offered the price, Katong can only sigh helplessly: "Although our Magic Tower Chamber of Commerce cannot meet all the armament replacements of your expeditionary army, we also have some savings. It should be available in To a large extent make up for the lack of magical combat power of the Void Empire."

"I am personally satisfied with the conditions you have put forward. I believe Master Hela will not be dissatisfied." Before Hela could speak, Diana had already accepted the words with a smile, "It's just that we are this time. The action was an expedition to the Principality of Lembel. If Lord Neal and Lord Cecilia know that we have made an asylum promise to your trading capital, I am afraid they will be very upset."

  No one answered the call, and the presidents of the seven chambers of commerce remained silent at this time.

  However, apart from this silence, their hearts were slightly relieved, because Diana was willing to take the conversation, which meant that there was still something to talk about. As far as businessmen are concerned, as long as they can communicate, there is bound to be a turning point, which also means a success rate. Of course, this also comes at a price.

   "However, if the capital of trade can join the void empire, then I believe neither Lord Neal nor Lord Cecilia will object."

  Sure enough, Diana quickly put forward the price they needed to pay.

  It's just something they didn't think of, but the price is so high!

"This…"

"Don't rush to refuse." Diana said with a smile, "The City of Trade can still maintain your free style and your original laws. Our Void Empire will not interfere, just let you become our Void Empire. The economy is only a province. In other words, you are likely to have to pay a considerable amount of tax, but I believe that with the amount of gold swallowed by your trading capital, you must not care about this tax."

  This condition does not sound difficult to accept.

  But Katong clearly heard the overtones: "If our trading capital joins the Void Empire, does it mean that we have become legal citizens of the Void Empire?"

   "This is natural." Diana smiled and nodded.

  "Then we have become legal citizens, which means that we also have the obligations and responsibilities that we need to do to the Void Empire?"

  Dianna smiled like a flower: "Yes."

  "Then I can ask, about this obligation and responsibility?"

"You will be solely responsible for the supply line of the Expeditionary Army." Diana smiled and said the answer, "And as an obligation of the empire, we will also protect the trade capital to ensure that you stay away from all war hazards. You are still the same. You can retain the size of your current **** force, and ensure that it does not interfere with the autonomous rights and laws and regulations of your trading capital without conflict with the laws of the Empire....Of course, the Seddings Chamber of Commerce may need to be transformed here. On the one hand, our Void Empire promises to satisfy you.... You see, to become the second armed forces chamber of commerce like a fraternal chamber of commerce, I don’t know what President Ceddings wants?"

"Do I have the right to refuse?" With a wry smile, the president of the Ceddings Chamber of Commerce is quite open. "It's just that after our Ceddings Chamber of Commerce became the Chamber of Armed Forces of Commerce, I am afraid that there is not much freedom.**** ?"

  No country will allow such a powerful uncontrolled armed force in its own country.

"I believe this, we can slowly negotiate and discuss afterwards." Diana replied, avoiding the importance, "Of course, in return, all chambers of commerce registered in the Trade Capital will have the opportunity to carry out import and export trade within the territory of the Void Empire. 30% of the commercial tax exemption rights. Major strategic materials and commodities, except for the prohibited items, have the 10% commercial tax exemption rights. In addition, all military supplies will also be traded. Capital to purchase."

  Listening to Diana's list of these contents clearly, the president of the seven chambers of commerce would never know that the void empire was already here.

  I am afraid that even without the invasion of the Allied Forces of the Ten Nations, the Void Empire will never let go of such a piece of fat as the Trade Capital, especially the Thunder Cloud Chamber of Commerce, which has old grudges with the Void Empire. Just making an excuse at will is enough for the Void Empire to launch a war of aggression against the Trade Capital—or, now that the Peace Council is destroyed, the excuse for war is no longer even needed.

  Of course, invading and plundering the trading capital is certainly not the more valuable of not annexing and digesting the trading capital.

  In the case that the outcome has long been doomed, the so-called negotiation is nothing more than striving for the maximization of one's own interests.

  And this kind of thing is naturally not something Hela is good at, so she let Dianna talk big and bargain with the Chamber of Commerce Alliance. After all, the annexation of the Trade Capital and becoming an economic province of the Void Empire is definitely able to greatly alleviate the financial crisis of the Void Empire, but as a price, the economic center of the Void Empire may be surrendered, and the same is also true. A lot of expenses have to be paid for the army stationed in such an enclave.

  Hella is thinking about how to reduce the expenditure of the garrison in the trade capital.
