The Earth Supplier of the Wizarding World
Chapter 349 The Eve of the War
,
At the City Lord's Mansion, Yan Xing met Master Miller who came from Storm City.
Although Master Miller couldn't understand why Yan Xing would sell his active weapons to his enemies at this time, the Cloud Tower was becoming more and more interested in the alchemy of Thunder Swamp.
Therefore, he immediately signed and agreed to the deal without thinking much about the arms sales list.
For Yunzhong Tower, the alchemy he doesn't know is priceless.
Yan Xing left the city lord's mansion after getting the order.
He did not talk much to Count Theodore, for it would be of no use. The arrow has to be fired when it is on the string, and the Eternal Territory also needs this war.
As the car was driving back to the special embassy, Ligeia, who had witnessed the entire arms transaction, finally couldn't help but asked Yan Xing: Sir, I can't figure it out... why did you sell weapons to Marquis Anderson.
The artillery has no shells, and the Stormy Highland Legion may not be able to use it.
But the gun comes with 20,000 rounds of ammunition, and there is also a Toucan transport aircraft... If the cloud tower can modify the transport aircraft, it can be used as an offensive weapon.
I think this is not difficult for the Tower in the Cloud.
You...you will make sacrifices for the soldiers and generals who fight for you.
Yan Xing was handling affairs with a tablet in his hand, and after a while he replied to Ligeia: I want to correct you on one point, the army of the Eternal Territory is not fighting for me, but for themselves.
As a commander, what I consider is how to win. In the process of winning, some sacrifices must be made and some dirty tricks must be done.
Compassion does not control soldiers, war is not a fairy tale, and human life is just a cold number.
This arms sale can greatly increase the weight of our victory, end the war as soon as possible, and save many lives.
At this time, Yanxing was planning how to use the gold with Fubuki on his tablet.
Not counting the god-given gold coins, the gold obtained from all arms sales has exceeded 100 billion converted into real-world currency.
This gold is not much wealth to the Cloud Tower, but it has unimaginable value in the real world.
It can be said that Yan Xing can buy whatever he wants from the list of weapons that Renlun Investment Bank can provide.
Facing Anderson, Eternal Territory is already in an invincible position.
But Yan Xing thought more.
Behind all the wars in the secular world is the battle between the Cloud Tower and the Thunder Swamp.
As the war progresses and escalates, it will inevitably upgrade from a conventional war to a super war, which is a competition between the top combat capabilities of both sides.
Whether the Eternal Territory can survive to the end depends on how high the alchemy technology tree can climb.
Technological advancement is more expensive than military competition.
Fubuki's alchemy laboratory has made some progress on the super weapon, which was built with hundreds of millions of resources.
Buying new equipment and raw materials also consumes half of the energy source of the Eternal Territory.
Without money, there will be no R\u0026D progress.
Without R\u0026D progress, no matter how beautiful the conventional battlefield is, it will only delay death.
This money is equivalent to injecting a reservoir into the Eternal Territory's extremely depleted capital flow.
It determines whether the Eternal Territory can produce combat power equal to that of the Cloud Tower in the final battle.
For Yan Xing...
All decisions are made for money and time.
None of this can be said to Ligeia.
Ligeia didn't know why Yan Xianxian said that this money could play such a big role. After all, gold is a dead thing and it is difficult to turn it into something that can enhance one's own strength in a short time.
Master, I still don't understand something.
You don't need to understand... you just need to do things according to my orders. Time will prove what I just said to you. Yan Xing's eyes did not leave the tablet. He said to Ligeia as if chatting: I'll give it to you. Your one mission is to block the news of this arms deal.
Ligeia asked: How can we block such a big thing?
This is your business, and it is also the reason why I brought you to discuss this arms sale. Yan Xing said: After all, it is not a glorious thing for a commander to sell weapons to the enemy, and Marquis Anderson will definitely take advantage of this to make a fuss.
Your job is to stop similar messages from spreading.
If it cannot be stopped, the source of the weapons of the Stormy Highland Legion will be made an accident.
The weapons Yanxing sold to Anderson only had twenty rounds of ammunition and could be completed in one battle.
Artillery cannot be used without shells.
The transport aircraft can only be used as a transport aircraft. If it is modified casually... there is a high probability that a flight accident will occur.
Therefore, this batch of arms sales will only have some impact in the short term.
Yongheng leads the army to enforce martial law, and some gossip cannot spread at all.
It would be best if Ligeia could suppress the rumors in New Tower City. If she couldn't suppress them, she would make up more rumors to confuse the public.
Anyway, the guild mercenaries have lost their guns.
The Eternal Chamber of Commerce's management of weapons is far less strict than that of the army.
Ligeia replied: Yes, sir... I know what to do.
Yan Xing looked at Ligeia's look and wanted to explain, but he still didn't say it.
It’s extremely cold at high places.
Only when the heart adapts to this coldness can it sit firmly in this position.
Some things don’t need explanation or explanation.
Returning to the special embassy, Yan Xing left the follow-up of the arms sales transaction to Ligeia and immediately returned to the Eternal Territory.
I happened to see Elledo sending someone to deliver the good news.
This time the elves attacked Frostleaf City, just as Yan Xing expected, the orcs made preparations early under the command of Old Mom.
In the vast wilderness from Frostleaf City to Thunder Swamp, Old Mom arranged a large number of patrols to monitor the movements of Thunder Swamp.
As long as there are signs of the elven army coming out of the swamp, Frostleaf City can enter a defensive state early.
Although the orcs suffered a lot of losses in the winter, the winter supplies sent by the Eternal Leader still allowed the orcs to maintain their ability to fight.
But Old Mom never expected that when the elf blasted open the south gate of Frostleaf City and rushed in, he didn't receive a warning from a scout.
So many scouts... are they all dead?
There is not much suspense when Frostleaf City enters street fighting.
The elves were recuperating in Thunder Swamp, while the orcs had just survived the bitter cold.
The urban layout of Frostleaf City is very suitable for elves to fight, but the orcs are restricted here.
Urban warfare is basically the elves driving the orcs all the way.
If you don't take into account the cruelty of the war, the soldiers on both sides wear green military coats to fight, which is still a bit of a comedy.
Just like that... the elves entered the city at dawn, and after a whole day of fighting, they basically drove out all the orcs in the city.
In the evening it was time to clear out the scattered trapped enemies.
Elledo did not pursue too many results in this battle. As long as the orcs broke out of the city, the elves would try their best to clear a path.
Preserving his own strength, Elledo will have the confidence to talk whether he faces the Elf Royal Court or the Eternal Territory in the future.
After receiving the good news, Yan Xing immediately sent people to Frostleaf City to send a congratulatory message to Prince Elledo.
At the same time, a batch of supplies was arranged to go on the road to supply the elves and treat the wounded.
Yan Xing, who received a huge sum of money, was willing to spend money on his allies.
The next part is to arm the elves in Frostleaf City and help Elledor gain the real power of the snow elves.
In this way, with the elves as allies in the north and the Silvermane Principality as allies in the south, the space for the Eternal Territory to maneuver becomes larger.
After dealing with the matters in Shuangye City, Yan Xing returned to the real world. Once he had money, he would make a big purchase.
At this time, the news that the orcs had abandoned Frostleaf City also reached the ears of Anderson in New Tower City.
The defeat of the orcs in Frostleaf City was something Anderson expected.
After all, Yan Xing's intention to take in the elves was very obvious, and the orcs stuck in Frostleaf City must have made him very uncomfortable. Even if the orcs agree to open trade routes, they can close them at any time.
With Yan Xing's secret support, it is only a matter of time before the elves retake Frostleaf City.
But Anderson didn't expect the orcs to lose Frostleaf City so quickly.
Both sides had roughly the same amount of troops, but after only one day of fighting, the city belonged to the elves.
That's fine, he was planning to meet his old rival, Old Mom.
It's much better to go to Gaoshan City to meet you than to go to Frostleaf City.
Just when Marquis Anderson was about to leave New Tower City, Theodore made an appointment with him alone.
Anderson's attendance at Count Theodore's birthday party was very formal. He didn't talk as much to his father-in-law as he did to Yan Xing.
The once close comrades-in-arms developed a serious estrangement.
Is there no possibility of stopping? Sitting in the bright room after dinner, Count Theodore said to Anderson very seriously: Look at the electric lights installed by the Eternal Chamber of Commerce for my city lord's mansion, and those hot-selling ones. Alchemical items.
You and I should both use a sense of awe.
The alchemy in Thunder Swamp is very different from the alchemy in Cloud Tower.
They can use alchemy to make tableware and drinking utensils, and they can make cars and airplanes for ordinary people's daily transportation.
The more simple the alchemy is, the more I feel how towering the mountain behind Yan Xing is.
If I were to choose between Thunder Swamp and Cloud Tower to rule the world regardless of my stance, I would choose Thunder Swamp without hesitation.
I yearn for the changes that the alchemy of Thunder Swamp has brought to my life, and what the Cloud Tower has been doing for thousands of years is to enjoy the gaze of the secular world.
Look outside the window again...
Every new night, a few more places light up.
In the past, the night was just the night, but in the future, when the city gets used to the light, if it enters the night again, I can't imagine what terrible things will happen in the city.
Anderson, this city no longer belongs to me.
People choose a better life, and a civilization that can bring them a better life.
Yes, behind Yan Xing is a civilization, a civilization that surpasses our current civilization.
You cannot defeat this civilization that is bound to arise.
Anderson followed Count Theodore's words and looked out the window.
The power grid system of the Eternal Chamber of Commerce has lit up a large urban area, which is extremely shocking in this dark night.
After watching it for a long time, Anderson said to Theodore: I admit what you said. If I were an ordinary person, I would also be willing to live a life like the Eternal Territory.
But I have my position, and you have yours.
What we do must be based on our position, otherwise I have to give up everything I have now and truly become an ordinary person.
Theodore…
The emperor promised to confer me the title of Duke of Stormwind, and the coronation ceremony is being prepared.
I am about to become the legal owner of this land and will be the owner of this land for generations to come.
Come and help me.
You will become a Marquis and will be hereditary in the Theodore family.
Anderson persuaded Theodore instead.
The old earl was very prestigious in his vassal system and was also a highly respected veteran in the army.
At the coronation ceremony, if the old earl participates, he will definitely gain support from all parties faster.
Anderson's imminent coronation as Duke did not exceed Theodore's expectations.
Anderson's refusal to stop the war did not exceed Theodore's expectations.
But whether for family affection or friendship, Theodore must make a final effort.
Anderson...do you remember that Yan Xing said he would go hunting with me yesterday? But today he went back to the Eternal Territory directly after discussing arms sales with you. He knew what I would say to him, but he didn't want to hear it.
I understand Yan Xing.
He also wants to fight this war, but the opponent in his heart is not you.
In this war, whether it is a duke or a king, even our emperor is just a pawn lying in front of him.
We are in the middle of this storm, and it is safest not to move.
How could Anderson, who had already waited for the arrival of spring, listen to Earl Theodore's persuasion.
Anderson's mood became a little excited, and he said loudly: Of course I know that I am a pawn, I have known it from the beginning.
But even the smallest pawn on the chessboard can be promoted to the 'queen' if it reaches the bottom line!
I scouted the Eternal Land.
Yan Xing's army is full of new recruits, and he is not ready for this war.
This is your best chance to defeat him.
Moreover, Yan Xing had just supported the elves to drive away the orcs from Frostleaf City, and I was about to go to Alpine City to meet Old Mom.
I believe that the barbarians who see the situation clearly will be on my side.
Theodore, the future world structure will be changed because of this war.
Regardless of victory or defeat, this history that records the starting point of a new era must have my name, Anderson.
I hope I am a winner, I have never needed you more than I do now.
I have always believed that as long as we work together, we can defeat any enemy. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net ”
Anderson held out his hand to Count Theodore.
But Theodore did not reach out to shake his hand.
“I’m sorry, I don’t want to drag this city into the flames of war, this is the only thing I can do for it.
I will sit here and watch its nights getting brighter layer by layer until the lights of the entire city rival the stars in the sky.
This is more meaningful to me than anything else.
My apologies again, Marquis Anderson.
I will fight for you and the Principality of Silver Mane all my life. This time, I just want to do one thing for myself.
Nothing about family, nothing about honor, nothing about loyalty.
Just the stubbornness and hope of an old man.
Please forgive me for not being able to attend your coronation ceremony...
