Lord of Hyranza

Chapter 844 Call of War

The businessman Malacombe has not been happy in the past two days.

When he was in Wilkes City, he received a call-up notice from the military department.

He ordered all the modified Thunder Rhinos in his hands to be incorporated into the Wilkes Cavalry Regiment, so he hurried to Dodan Town to prevent Suldak from continuing to transform his Thunder Rhinos.

If it is true that all the remodeled Thunder Rhinoceros will be incorporated into the local army, then he will drink the Northwest Wind in the future...

Before the supreme commander of the military department summoned him, Malakom rushed to the town of Dodan on a fast horse and stopped the reconstruction project of Thunder Rhinoceros.

Suldak didn't expect this to happen either. He thought that the military's policy towards civilians and businessmen was really simple and rude. All the modified Thunder Rhinos could be collected for public use with a single call-up order, and even if such a matter was brought to the Wilkes House of Representatives Sue can't win, the Bailin plane is in the period of beast tide, and military control is implemented in all places.

During this period of time, Wilkes City even imposed a curfew, mainly to make way for the material transport teams that were transported out of the portal.

At present, Suldak has completed the transformation of sixteen Thunder Rhinos, and the preparations for the transformation of the other seven Thunder Rhinos have all been completed. We only need to wait for the businessman Malakom to drive the Thunder Rhinos over, and we will start working on them. .

Now apparently the plan is going to be discontinued.

Suldak was a little distressed, and he agreed to use twenty thunder rhinos as compensation for Samira's epic 'Sky Strike' Sharp Bow.

After the businessman Malakom left the small building, Suldak called Andrew, Samira, and Selina, and everyone got together to discuss how to deal with this matter.

"Then give him a magic spar as compensation..." Samira hesitated for a moment, then raised his head and said to Suldak.

She continued: "The rest of the fee is about 350 magic crystals, and almost 2500 gold coins. In this way, 25 merits are enough to repay the rest of the money. I am almost saving up now." 20 merits, as long as you go out a few times, it should be enough."

"Samira, your bow... is so expensive!" Andrew asked with his eyes wide open and his mouth wide open.

Samira gave Andrew a look of 'what do you think', without saying a word.

"I can still take out this magic spar..." Suerdak put down the quill in his hand, leaned on the soft leather sofa, and said to several people:

"I'm thinking... Do I want to pay him the transformation fee for these sixteen thunder rhinos? Not only that, but I also want to buy these sixteen thunder rhinos together..."

Andrew and Samira looked at each other, only then did they realize how much wealth the ghost-striped red ants hunted these days had brought to Suldak.

Each ghost-pattern soldier ant has a magic core hidden in it. On average, one magic spar can be opened out of two magic cores. Now there is no time to untie these magic cores, and they are all packed into wooden boxes and piled into the lava mine. Inside the treasure chamber.

When everyone was discussing this matter, it happened that the great swordsman Chester had finished his patrol in other border towns and returned to the military camp in Dodan Town.

After all, the return date for Hathaway and Beatrice was approaching.

After hearing a few words from Surdak and the others, they immediately understood what everyone was discussing.

The Great Swordsman Chester patted his forehead and said that I reported this matter...

Then I said where it can be operated.

In fact, this matter is... not a bad thing for the merchants. The military merchant group can buy spoils, and the supplies brought in will also be sold to various legions, and the most important thing is that they don't have to worry about the supply.

In addition, in the case of sufficient transportation capacity, private goods can also be carried, and the transportation route is also specially protected by the army.

This kind of business is simply not too comfortable.

It was only then that Suldak realized that the military merchant group could operate in this way. In the past, this kind of merchant group could only join because they had some relationship with the army commander, and they were rarely touched by outsiders.

In the Warsaw plane, it was very common to follow military business groups.

The business group designated by the military department has a wider range of transactions. The main reason is that the Thunder Rhino business group has a huge capacity there, and it has stronger competitiveness than any other business group...

The Legion of the noble lords of the Green Empire participated in various plane wars, and almost most of the legions were responsible for their own profits and losses.

The tasks issued by the military are often mixed with many benefits. If there are no benefits, who would want to do it... and war is a huge profit.

The only difference is probably the risk.

Just like the fact that the Luthor Legion went to the Bailin plane to eat meat this time, they were supposed to make a lot of money, but no one thought that something would happen in Prantos Town.

The No.13 Cavalry Regiment and No.19 Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment were wiped out. It is not counted if the people are gone. It is estimated that the family of the noble lord behind them will have to pay a large amount of compensation.

But Dodan Town and other frontier towns have been defended. Although the garrisons in other towns do not have as much income as Suldak, they are still very good.

If the merchant group of the Luthor Legion is in the Bailin plane, all the hunted monster materials can be handed over to the merchant group for sale. Of course, the profits in it will be huge. I really don’t know why the merchant Malakom would do this. And distressed...

……

After Hathaway established the town's tax office, she began to formulate the town's tax system, and was busy until late every day.

Suldak, Hathaway, and Beatrice often only have time to have dinner together. Although they are engaged, they have never broken through the last layer of relationship. Allowed, a housekeeper was sent over to take care of Miss Hathaway's daily life almost exclusively.

It is estimated that they should know about Selena's existence, but they never asked.

After all, Dodan Town is only this big, and Selena has to come to the barracks every day to check everyone's achievements.

For this, Suldak still felt a little guilty in his heart, so he spent as much time with the two of them as possible while they were in Dodan Town.

……

At the same time, Suldak finally encountered a problem when he was learning the rune language.

Even with the magic crystal image of the red dragon Johannes, he still couldn't learn the rune language, which had troubled him for more than a week.

He can feel the powerful power contained in the runes, and he can also clearly feel the mysterious arrangement of these runes together, resonating with each other to stimulate stronger power, and that kind of power is the existence he needs to look up to.

He can draw every rune, but combining them together is a big problem for him.

No matter how hard I try, it doesn't work...

He saw Lord Johannes' detailed explanation, every little detail was explained in great detail, but it was a pity that he couldn't draw it no matter what.

And the pattern of the language of runes is also very complicated.

'Amn-Ral-Msl-Ist-Ohm'

It is no problem to draw each rune individually, but when he connects the five runes together, he completely controls the direction of the layout of the magic lines, and the entire magic line is seriously distorted, as if some of the lines Drawn in the same dimension, it is possible that some of the magic lines pass through the sub-dimensional space and connect back from a certain node.

According to Lord Johannes' explanation of the rune language, this set of runes has the power to travel through time and space.

Suldak had been drawing for more than a week, and he couldn't even fully grasp the magic line composition of the latest book.

Moreover, his current mental strength cannot complete such a magic pattern in one go.

The red dragon Iser was very interested in this rune language.

Suldak was sitting on the platform of the treasure chamber, facing the huge dragon head of the red dragon Iser, and the two of them stared at each other with big eyes.

"What should I do? I can't draw at all..." Suldak said to Iser with some frustration.

"It may also be that the level of power you master is too weak. I have known you for so long... I have learned so much about the rune language... Why do you feel that you have no breakthrough? Is it really so difficult to advance to the second rank?" Red Dragon Iser Er beat Suldak mercilessly in Imperial language.

"It's as simple as drinking water and eating for your dragon clan. You rely on the power of your blood, and we!" Suldak patted his chest, retorting to Iser: "We... rely on redoubled efforts and luck .”

The relationship between Suldak and Iser is already very familiar, so familiar that they can slander each other with words without getting angry.

"So... when will you be able to advance?" Iser asked Suldak.

Suldak made some calculations, and could only bite the bullet and say, "Give me a little more time, and it should be all right. There's no need to rush this kind of thing..."

Iser raised his head and shook it vigorously to the sides, causing a wave of air.

This can make the scales on its head and neck smoother. It tentatively asked: "Otherwise, I will go find some monsters and come back. Every time I upgrade to a level, I especially want to eat something."

"Forget it... I didn't have time to deal with the dragon eagle last time. Besides, hunting in the plane of Istandur doesn't seem to be so safe." Suldak walked to Iser's neck, Said.

Each of Iser's scales is bigger than a palm, and they are distributed around the neck, appearing very fine and dense.

"Okay, I'm leaving...see you tomorrow."

Suldak stayed in the treasure chamber for a while, then bid farewell to the red dragon Iser.

He had to discuss the Thunder Rhino with the businessman Malacom as soon as possible. Suldak was going to buy [-] Thunder Rhinos at full cost, but Malacom didn't agree.

Malacolm is still considering whether to seize this opportunity...

Chapter 845 Takeover Plan

Businessman Malacombe sat in the living room on the first floor of the small building in the garrison camp, lowering his head and thinking about the future path of the Thunder Rhino Merchant Group.

Suldak and Great Swordsman Chester sat on the other two groups of sofas. On the table in front of them were delicate bone china teacups. The black tea inside was steaming, and Malacombe's thoughts drifted away with the steam. .

The Thunder Rhino Merchant Group was inherited by Malacolm from his father.

The Thunder Rhino business group he took over at the beginning was still the largest trading group in the Bailin plane. In just 20 years, the business of the business group has shrunk from covering the entire Bailin plane to only operating in the south of Wilkes City. region, the entire northern region was divided up by other business groups.

In order to reduce costs and unnecessary expenses, Malacom has continuously reduced the number of Thunder Rhinoceros, so as to ensure the full business volume of the remaining Thunder Rhinoceros caravans.

But even so, his Thunder Rhino Merchant Group continued to decline every year.

At present, there are large pastures in the northern part of the Bailin plane, and the lords do not lack cavalry, so the nobles have already formed their own business groups.

Thunder rhino transportation has no competitiveness at all.

Now some business groups in Wilkes City have begun to infiltrate into the southern occupied area of ​​Wilkes City, gradually occupying the southern market.

If it weren't for the beast horde, the merchant Malakom might have already started to compete with those small business groups for the southern market.

A small group of ghost-striped red ants penetrated into the northern area of ​​Bailin, and the horse team couldn't stop the ambush of the ghost-striped red ants.Conscripted by the military to transport combat supplies and support the northern border town.

This incident has caused dissatisfaction among many elders in the family. Recently, he can only try his best to quell the family disputes caused by this incident.

It's not that he doesn't want to be a military supplier.

In fact, business groups can only get some stable transportation business if they have a military background.

When the Bena people opened up the Bailin plane, the opportunity for the Thunder Rhino business group to enter the Bailin plane was because the Thunder Rhino could carry various materials in complex terrain.

The lords of the Bena province fought in the Bailin plane, and gradually opened up a piece of land with a radius of nearly a thousand kilometers.

However, Malakom's great-grandfather died on the battlefield of opening up the territory. His grandfather was also seriously injured when he was leading a caravan to deliver supplies to the front line. He died not long after returning home, and his father was on the way to transport supplies. lost two legs...

In his generation, the only condition for inheriting the Thunder Merchant Group is to promise not to be a military merchant group.

I thought of my father holding his hand before he died and saying: "Malakom, I know you...you are the same as me when I was young. You want to grow the business group. I don't care what you do, but you must Don't be a military merchant group, they always want to send the Thunder Rhino Behemoth to the front line, hey... I don't want to wait until you lose something before you know regret...'

There was a rush of horseshoes outside the window, and a group of cavalry passed by the window, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Malakom withdrew his thoughts, held his teacup to his mouth and blew, and then asked Suldak: "Baron Suldak, you said that you want to buy these sixteen remodeled Thunder Rhino... ...?"

There was some bitterness and reluctance in his voice, but there was a kind of determination in his eyes.

Suldak and Chester Great Swordsman looked at each other, and then said: "That's right, but if you want to become an accompanying merchant group, we welcome it very much. The Luthor Legion will continue on the Bailin plane. Stationed for a period of time, I can help you apply for the most convenient conditions, and... aren't we doing trade now?"

After he finished speaking, he paused again, and then continued: "This is actually no different from the military business group."

The businessman Malakom rubbed his temples, and took another sip of the teacup to his lips. He put down the teacup and said to Suldak, "I've decided to sell these sixteen thunder rhinos to you!"

Regarding Malacombe's decision, not only Suldak was stunned, but the great swordsman Chester was also surprised.

Previously, Suldak proposed to the businessman Malakom that he wanted to take over the 23 Thunder Rhinos. He would not only return all the transformation costs of the 16 Thunder Rhinos, but also buy the [-] Thunder Rhinos at the original price.

For such a huge transaction, Suldak thought about it and said, "In this case, I can pay you 1600 magic crystals with sixteen thunder rhinos, the epic sharp bow and the previous debt... "

This amount of money is equivalent to the cost of ten sets of elementary magic pattern constructions, and Suldak found that he was actually far away from constructing the Knights.

"Originally, I wanted to earn some more money, buy some magic-weave structures, and form a knight order!" Suldak said with a smile.

Chester Great Swordsman was astonished, and then said:

"Forming a Constructed Knight Order? I'm afraid it's really difficult. Not only is it difficult to buy a magic pattern structure, but those war horses are also hard to find. Even if the Grand Duke Newman wants to buy a black scaled horse, he has to go to Salta himself. Duke, in addition to this, you also need to consider the daily maintenance of these magic-weave structures, and each knight order must have a full-time inscriber... That's an inscriber! Not a magician that can be seen everywhere in the magic union."

Suldak just said it casually, but he didn't expect the great swordsman Chester to know so well.

Suldak sighed softly, and said: "So...every Constructed Knight Order can show the true background of a noble and wealthy family."

Malakom smiled and said to Suldak: "Of course, to independently form a construction knight order, not counting the salary paid to the construction knights, just the establishment will cost at least a million gold coins."

"If the knights have weapons at hand and only need to prepare war horses and magic pattern constructions, then at least 80 gold coins will be needed, and so many first-rank knights will be found. Noble lords without a certain reputation, is there any reason to follow? Woolen cloth?"

The three of them talked about constructing the Knights, and Suldak discovered that implanting the magic pattern of life may be another way. Although the magic pattern printed on the body is worse than the magic pattern construction, it is better than life. The cost of magic pattern is not high.

Suldak spent a huge amount of money to buy these thunder rhinos, not to form a caravan and prepare to start commercial trade on the Bailin plane.

His idea is to form a group of archers with mobile turrets, which can also serve as a logistics team. These modified Thunder Rhinos can completely become giant war beasts on the battlefield.

The only trouble is that these thunder rhinos eat a lot.

The wheat bran, hay, and bean cake pressed from beans that need to be eaten every day will cost a lot of money just for these forages.

Alfalfa is everywhere in the town of Dodan, and there is no need to spend anything, but wheat bran and beans need to be purchased from merchants.

The two sat on the sofa on the first floor and discussed for a whole afternoon, finally finalizing the deal.

Suldak took out a magic contract scroll, and entered into some transaction terms with the businessman Malakom, and both parties signed their names on it.
