DNF, made by the ancient gods

——The wall fell and everyone pushed.

Once again, I have deeply realized this truth. Political struggles are not as important as grievances and grievances. These things are worthless in political struggles.

"Only benefits are eternal 'friends'..."

There was a strange color in his eyes, and then he casually opened the third letter—this was just a letter handed over by a "trivial" character, if the other party hadn't named him to receive the letter, it had aroused his a little whim. If he is interested, he may not necessarily choose to read.

However, he didn't know that the emotion of "whim" can also be influenced by others.

Looking at it slowly, but when his eyes glanced over a certain word, Cromwell's face changed suddenly.

December 1, 2 in the new calendar

With the creaking sound of chariots slowly rolling over the uneven dirt road, the war that had been suspended for several days was started again, but what was different from the past was that the entire imperial army was already powerless to resist—not just the loss in combat power. They are ahead of the An Ning Army, and now they can't even match them psychologically.

Because, one of the two strongest generals of the empire has fallen.

This is a huge blow to the entire imperial army.

But for the An Ning Army, this is a good thing.The huge benefits make the current situation of the An Ning Army can only be described in one sentence——

Break through all the way and make great progress.

Chapter 065 Humans

January 1, 2st year of the new calendar——

The Republic of Tranquility completely occupied the northeast and southeast regions of the empire.The speed of its growth has far exceeded the imagination of the empire, and when it was supposed to be employing people, the empire foolishly dismissed Esdes, so that there is no one available at this moment.

So, the empire went to ask Esdes to become the general of the empire again, but this time when he went to his residence, he found that Esdes had already left the imperial capital for more than ten days.

In desperation, the empire had no choice but to send diplomats to talk with him, and the facts were also very realistic—the Peace Republic, which had ruled half of the empire, ignored the empire's overtures and sent heavy troops to garrison the fallen Lion and Tiger Pass.

Judging by his attitude, it seems that there is a possibility of sending troops at any time.

The southeast coast of the empire——

There is a river here, which flows through almost one-third of the empire's territory. The rapids in the upper reaches cannot be stopped, but it has also brought a lot of water resources to the empire, and even formed a large floodplain in the southeast of the lower reaches. Fuze the whole empire.

And when its tributaries flowed into the estuary, several estuaries of incredible scale were formed.

And in these seaports, people established cities, and because of the involvement of big businessmen, the industry and commerce of the local cities were extremely developed.

At this moment, dozens of "merchant ships" that went out two months ago are moored on this vast sea, which is as beautiful as a water mirror. They stay quietly on the water, but the ships are noisy and lively.

"Hurry up, you bloody slaves!"

Sweat dripping from his head, sailors who have sailed at sea for more than two months and became irritable waved quick whips, driving the "cargo" on board into this area.

In response to his angry shouts, when they slowly sat down on the boat, there were row after row of human beings. Their expressions were numb, and their eyes were blank and dull due to the inhuman treatment they encountered on the boat over the past few months.

Crowds of human beings were regarded as "inferior people" because of their skin color. Driven by these "superior people", they gradually stepped forward, leaving behind one dirty place after another in this bustling port. footprint.

The officer in charge of guarding the port frowned, and the stone brick floor, which was regularly cleaned every day, became filthy under the trampling of the goods.

It's really unbearable to yell, and I don't know that these sluts haven't touched the bath water in months!

And seeing the officer wearing the official uniform of the Peaceful Republic standing here, the clever Yaz hurried up—he is the captain of these dozens of "merchant ships", that is, the big red man in front of a big businessman .

Yes, this batch of merchant ships is the one that set off from the day when the Anning Republic just won the port. As for why they set off after the Anning Republic took over the port...

——This is related to the policy of the empire.

Since the founding of the empire, the merchant trade taxation has always been high-pressure and high-tax policy, but 200 years ago, the merchants were strong enough to survive the high-pressure and high-tax policy - the slave trade.

Yes, slaves.

Even as a huge country with a large population, the empire cannot avoid the need for "slaves". This is a bloody "accumulation" that must be experienced in the development of human civilization.

The price of a slave is far lower than the price of hiring a commoner, and as long as you buy the next slave, then everything about the slave belongs to the master, even if the master wants to kill the slave and sell the slave, this is not illegal .

This greatly satisfies the production needs of businessmen, and 200 years ago, some dignitaries also fell in love with "slaves"-after all, this is not illegal, and it is reasonable to vent their ugly side way.

Therefore, slavery also flourished in this country.

But fortunately, the previous emperor had a far-sighted view, and the power of the merchants had rapidly expanded to the point where they could interfere with the country's economy following the slave trade for more than 100 years, and the empire understood the seriousness of the matter.

Therefore, regardless of the opposition of the merchants, the previous emperor used force to forcibly suppress this trade route, and announced that no one was allowed to buy or sell slaves again.

This suppression lasted for 20 years.

Regardless of the reactions of the merchants and dignitaries, at least the emperor's policy successfully dealt a severe blow to the rapid expansion of merchant power.Then, coupled with the oppression of high taxes, it created a situation that businessmen are eager to change in the past 20 years.

But now, everything has changed.

Businessmen have succeeded.

"Ha, buddy, it seems that your goods this time are not bad."

Containing the displeasure in his eyes, the officer smiled and patted Yaz on the shoulder, and the captain nodded quickly, with a standard smile on his face.

"Doesn't this still depend on your help?"

An oval hard object was delivered, and the pure gem color also made the officer praise the young captain's cleverness from the bottom of his heart. It is no wonder that he can be valued by the big businessman.

"Do it well! Your job makes me very envious!"

Although there is a danger of encountering dangerous species and storms at sea, this still cannot conceal the huge profits brought about by the slave trade.

In this trade across the three continents, they only need to provoke conflicts among the uncivilized barbarians, and then they can use dozens of muskets and some insignificant items to buy captives and gem.

Some of the slaves were transported to the empire, which was developing the northwest and southwest regions on a large scale, and the other part of the slaves were sold to the Western Kingdom, which was located on the west side of the empire and across the sea from the empire.

Coupled with the wealth they exchanged with the aborigines with those cheap items, the profit from a trade is enough to make a rich man!

"Haha... just kidding."

While they were talking harmoniously, another big ship that was obviously different from other "merchant ships" also stopped on the calm sea.

The wooden steps were laid down quickly, and the nobles and merchants from other countries dressed in gorgeous clothes slowly walked down.

Yes, they are the nobles and businessmen from other countries. They paid a high price to come to this famous country, and they opened their eyes and watched this prosperous and powerful country.

"Bang——!!!"

"Bang——!!!"

……

At the same time, the servants on board also fired dozens of salutes at the right time.Another sailor standing at the bow raised his head, showing a confident look.

"ladies and gentlemen--"

He picked up the sailor cap on his head and waved it around.

"Welcome to the land of freedom and equality!"

Chapter 066 Humans

The nobles in luxurious clothes slowly walked into the prosperous city according to the established route, while the lowly "inferior people" were driven into the dark passage by the sailors - slaves like them , but not qualified to stand in this clean city.

In that way, the floor tiles of the city will be dirty.

"really……"

With a livid face, recalling the scene she saw this morning - the evil trade that was strictly prohibited by the empire for 20 years appeared on this continent openly, Najie Xitan couldn't help feeling a burst of unspeakable anger.

No conscience-stricken person would want to see slavery, an institution so devoid of conscience, become orthodoxy.As early as 200 years ago, when the law that "slaves belong to their masters" was established, countless people have opposed this evil system.

"This peaceful republic is really not a thing! It can give up everything for wealth, and it dares to do things that the empire doesn't even want to touch..."

Ma Yin cursed a few words viciously.As early as half a month ago, the night raiders who found the source of goods in the imperial capital through the route provided by Brand had already seen a little bit of the evil hidden under the "freedom" and "equality" of the Peaceful Republic.

But what they saw and heard today still shocked their hearts.

"No, I think..."

Burak's words immediately attracted everyone's attention, and Burak, who had become the focus of everyone's attention in an instant, waved his hand hastily and explained:

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that this situation is good. I just want to say that the 'representative' system of the Tranquility Republic is indeed superior to the political system of the Empire..."

As he spoke, he also sighed.

"However, the current Tranquility Republic has basically failed to take advantage of the representative system. Their decision-making is still in the hands of a few people. Even if there is a law to implement the representative system, the effect is still not great."

Hearing this, everyone nodded in approval, but then fell down again.

"More than half of the revolutionary army's current power has been lost to the Anning Republic, and it has absorbed half of the empire's territory and combined with a huge population base. The current Anning Republic has become a behemoth even more terrifying than the Empire."

"It's hard to change anything."

When the An Ning Republic was still weak, it was like a parasite parasitic on the behemoth of the empire, growing itself by constantly absorbing nutrients from the empire.And today, this parasite also has the ability to turn against customers.

And because of this reason... the reputation of "Night Attack" has actually declined.

This is normal, after all, Night Raid is just a killer organization.If the night raids did not assassinate those corrupt officials, no one would pay special attention to these figures walking in the dark.The rise of the Peaceful Republic and Baige's actions also happened to create this situation.

After all, the minister is dead, the empire is in jeopardy, the An Ning Republic on the east side is growing rapidly, and most of the corrupt officials are located in the area occupied by the An Ning Republic, so...

——There is no need for Ye Raiders to do it anymore.

As a result, these assassins became "idlers" who "dangered" outside with nothing to do, occasionally earned some money to maintain Teigu, and lived in secret.

Of course, they still care about the country and the world.

"But no matter how difficult it is, you have to keep going."

"And, our hard work has paid off."

On the wall behind him, the messy lines represent many clues.

"The York Mountain incident has been confirmed to be related to the high-level leaders of the Tranquility Republic, but based on the known information, there is only one person who has the ability to drive these people to accomplish these things..."

"Look again, among the transactions of prohibited items discovered by Brand, the personnel of the Anning Republic have also found out that they are directly subordinates to a certain leader, and there is a huge trading network hidden behind it. One end of the trading network is connected to At the other end is a high-ranking and powerful leader, and his identity has also obtained many clues from side-by-side attacks..."

"Furthermore, today's slave trade, as well as the actual masters of the House, and..."

Many clues are compiled into a huge net, but this net covering the entire Tranquility Republic in a radiating shape only starts from a small point.

"All the clues are pointing the sharpest finger at one person..."

His eyes gradually became cloudy.

She thought that the peaceful republic could bring new hope to the people, but unexpectedly, she fell into the abyss of despair because of the problem of the leader.This also made her fully realize that some people must "sacrifice".

Only when those people die, can the whole country have new possibilities.

"The leader of the Tranquil Revolution—William."

*

As "Mr. William" who was being discussed by a famous killer group, he stood in front of Cromwell with a calm expression, welcoming the latter's bow.

He was one of the very few who came to this city. After all, his time was very tight and his life was very busy.

During this long period of time, when he was doing "business", he also squeezed out time to refine 23 pieces of Teigu successively. While turning these Teigu into a piece of useless scrap iron, he Also got a lot of valuable knowledge.

With this knowledge, as long as there are enough materials, he can make Teigu without any effort... Of course, the reality is that most of the rare and dangerous species are extinct, so how can there be so many materials for him?

However, the purpose of Baige is not to make Teigu—this kind of "equipment" is far from proportional to the reward. For Baige, it may just be a little transition and then discarded.There is no need to make Teigu.

However, this knowledge also brought another brand new idea to Baige... However, the current conditions do not allow Baige to implement it, so we have to wait until a later date to discuss it.

Cromwell stared at Baige's profile, as if he wanted to see something different from the face of "Mr. William", but unfortunately, he didn't gain much.

In the end, he still blinked, and his heart was shaken in an instant.

He stabilized his mind, looked at Baige who was obviously suspicious, coughed lightly, and then opened the prelude to his words with complicated emotions.

"Tomorrow is the final moment of the decisive battle between us and the An Ning Army and the Imperial Army. All outcomes will be decided tomorrow..."

At this moment, a letter with an unknown signature was delivered to Najie Xitan through the child's palm.
