Outworld: Rise of an Industrial Empire

Saysil sighed helplessly, shook his head and said

, "My lord, the little one has been under house arrest in a restaurant, and it wasn't until a short time ago that they gave me a letter asking me to pass it on to you before they let me out.... And my lord, when he gave me the letter, he told me that their army was moving north

and was ready for battle...."As he spoke, he took out an envelope and handed it to Cole, and both Cole and Taylor took a deep breath when they heard this, and sure enough, this letter was a declaration of war nine times out of ten! Cole hurriedly took the envelope,

hurriedly opened it, and checked the contents of the letter.

As soon as he looked at it, Cole was stunned for a moment, and as he looked back, the corners of Cole's mouth twitched.

"What's going on?"

Taylor hurriedly asked, Cole tossed the letter to Taylor and flicked his sleeve angrily.

"What's wrong?"

Grace wiped her face off and asked Cole with a frown, but Cole didn't speak, and pointed to the envelope angrily.

Taylor picked up the letter and read it, then the corners of his mouth twitched.

Seeing this, Grace's best friend impatiently stepped forward, grabbed the envelope

, and then read: "Master Cole, you're not dead, are you?...\"

As soon as she spoke, Grace's best friend was stunned by the above content, good guy, just ask if someone is dead when you open your mouth! Grace's

best friend coughed lightly twice to relieve the embarrassment, and then continued to read the letter:

"If you're still working as prime minister, it's easy to say, I'm Su Zheng, you should remember. We're all old friends, you give me some money, I'll keep you safe in the south!Oh yes, new gunpowder, do you want it? This time it's sold in unlimited quantities! If you want, you'll get money to buy it!"

Grace's best friend was more and more surprised the more she read it, until her eyes widened at last.

To put it simply, it is: I, Su Zheng, if I want to be stable in the north, I must obediently pay the money!

Cole paced back and forth angrily, and kept scolding

Su Zheng in his mouth: "This damn Su Zheng......

"He is a noble magician, how can he be threatened like this?"

Taylor on the side said angrily:

" Now Su Zheng is doing business on both sides, selling arms to us and arms to the Margaret Empire..."

"What's more, he's still threatening us, you see, what does it mean to give him some money, he keeps me safe in the south? Isn't this an obvious threat? This is simply blackmail!"

said Grace's best friend, her husband frowning at Cole and asking,

"So what now?"

Cole waved his hand and said impatiently

, "What else can I do besides giving money?"

At this time, Sessel, who had just seen him off, said:

"Ah, my lord, their people said that if you agree with the above, prepare a place in the palace, and then send someone to the tavern to pick up their mission and guards for a long time...."

"What? Their soldiers live in the palace? how can there be such a thing since ancient times? It's a shame! It's too much of a deception!" Cole

gritted his teeth and scratched the back of his head with both hands,

"Shhhh......h Labor and management were actually threatened by a mortal, and he brewed... Shame on you... Shame....\

" Cole gritted his teeth and waved at Seithle:

"Stop, stop... Let them live..."

"Slow, I'm the Empress, don't you even ask me if I agree?"

Grace, who had been frowning and silent, stood up and interrupted him, and said that the robbery and asking for money had already made her very angry, and the foreign soldiers lived in the palace, which was simply shameful and angry.

"Hey.... But what can we do now? Now we are even at a disadvantage in the situation in the north, if there is another problem in the south, we can't stand it!"

Cole shook his head helplessly and said, Grace said with some anger: "We just swallow our anger

?" "What can we do then?"

Cole shook his head and asked, Grace angrily took off the crown on his head and threw it to Cole and said:

" Then you can get angry yourself!"

and then lay down in his chair and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Before coming to Xizhou, you have to be restrained by the strong, and after you come to Xizhou, you have to be threatened by mortals, so isn't TM Xizhou coming for nothing?

Cole was very big-headed, and scratched his head impatiently with both hands.

...

In the middle of the night

, Cole's room was lit up, and Cole paced back and forth in the room with a book in his hand.

Suddenly, the door opened, and Taylor walked in with two bottles of beer in glass bottles and a bunch of food.

"I haven't slept yet!"

Taylor waved at Cole as he placed the wine and food on the table.

Cole sighed, walked over to the table and sat down, opened the beer and poured half a bottle in one gulp, then sighed and said,

"Hey... Wo Bao, I didn't expect to be angry in Xizhou...."

Saying that, Cole took another sip of wine, and Taylor unhurriedly twisted the cap of the bottle, then took a sip, and said while holding the food:

"Cole, I have a way to do this...... Otherwise, we will directly break into the federation and kill that Su Zheng!" Hearing

this, Cole was stunned for a moment, then took a deep breath and thought about it, and after a moment he shook his head and said:

"No, it's useless, I learned about their federal constitution, and what surprised me was that this perfect system made their entire country not worry about the dragons without a leader..... Therefore, if you kill Su Zheng, not only will you not be able to destroy this country, but you are also likely to suffer endless revenge

......!" Also, I also heard from the spies that the people in this federation seem to worship Su Zheng very much.

Taylor said, Cole nodded, patted the book on the table and said

, "That's right, I did take a look at the Soviet Doctrine, and it really makes some sense....

After listening to Cole's words

, Taylor took the book on the table with great interest: "Oh! this is kind of interesting!"

"The people elect a leader they are satisfied with through democratic elections, and appoint capable officials, not the nobles of the family..."Cole

explained the meaning of this sentence, Taylor nodded and said,

"Yes.... At least in Xizhou, this is an excellent system. "

Well, not only that, but there are many ideas in Soviet politics that can spread in Middle-earth. He had a good point, and it was beautiful, and to be honest, I wanted to be his believer

......" Cole smiled, then stood up, sighed, and paced with his hands behind his back:

"But it's just a beautiful vision...... Just as the nobility would not give up their privileges easily, how could the magicians be willing to accept that all men were equal? But muskets and cannons are not enough for mortals to overthrow magicians! Therefore, Soviet politics is just a very beautiful ideal society, and it is also ...... It's just an ideal!".
