Utopia

Sizzle... swoosh!

"Grand Duke! Dark Elf Mercenaries!"

Accompanied by a green beam of light that suddenly appeared and quickly disappeared, 157 mercenaries wearing gray masks, wearing uniform brown and light orange camouflage armor, and with different weapons and equipment in their hands officially appeared.

And Sidney Aken was furious. He knew what was going on in his heart, and he directly drew his saber to parry. At the same time, his guards were not blind, and they immediately rushed towards these dangerous elements.

Bang bang bang!

Da da da!

The result was also very simple. Even if the distance was only [to be honest, I have been using it recently, Android and Apple are both available.] meters, the mercenaries who were conducting a surprise attack did not spare their ammunition at all.

Whether it was a rifle or a submachine gun, the roar of the combination of the two made the Grand Duke's guards, who were all armored and holding various steel cold weapons in their hands, blood and flesh flew everywhere.

[An old book friend who has known me for ten years recommended me a book-chasing app! It's really fucking useful. I use it to read and listen to books while driving or before going to bed. You can download it here. ]

The steel core bullets commonly used in the Kingdom of Negan, whether they are rifle bullets fired from rifles or pistol bullets fired from submachine guns, are very suitable for armor-piercing attacks.

Although compared with the lead core bullets that the Japanese people prefer, steel core bullets do not produce too obvious cavity effects, which makes it very easy for the person who is shot to suffer "extremely visually impactful and extremely bloody explosive trauma", and finally die in a very ugly way.

However, the steel core bullets that are more suitable for fighting hard targets are not only suitable for the Kingdom of Negan, a country with a shortage of copper, but also very suitable for killing these armored warriors who are no match at all.

So, Sidney Aken watched his guards fall into a pool of blood in the blink of an eye, leaving only himself surrounded by a group of dark elf mercenaries.

There is no need to say more at this time. As the Grand Duke, Sidney Aken had to throw the knife in his hand to the ground. Then he slowly got off the horse. After losing this battle, he had to think about the terrible ending of going to prison and being stripped of his duke title.

Of course, the Archon troops who stopped fighting also understood. If the Archon did not surrender, committed suicide on the spot or let the dark elves kill him, the Principality of Akern would probably become the object of dismemberment by other countries and even the Ascetic Church.

As long as the Archon was not dead, after all, thanks to the special relationship with the royal family of the Kahn Empire. Even if the status could not be preserved, the family and part of the wealth could still be preserved. If there was a chance in the future, the descendants of the Archon would still have the opportunity to become nobles again.

So, under the witness of Tuluo and other mercenary members, the defeated Archon Sidney Akern naturally became a prisoner of the noble rebels.

"Humph! With your ability, I can't be caught by you! If it weren't for your financial backer behind the scenes..."

Even if Archon Sidney was a hundred times dissatisfied, he even despised the opponent who hired the dark elf mercenaries. But Tulo knew that Grand Duke Sidney would not die. After all, these noble rebels composed of good-for-nothings knew one thing, that is, once Grand Duke Sidney died...

The forces loyal to the Grand Duke in the Principality of Akern would immediately rise up and raise the butcher knife to the heads of these people. For this reason, keeping Grand Duke Sidney's life as a hostage is very meaningful to the stability of the Principality of Akern.

After all, the Principality of Akern, which is in a full-scale civil strife, is actually not beneficial to the various forces of the Kahn Empire. It may even attract the further expansion of the dark elves and even blatant colonial occupation.

"A good talent is so easy to end."

"Tulo, we just work for the sake of money. There is no need to think too much about them."

Miley's words were light, but Tulo felt very heavy.

Seeking money is right.

The only thing is that the money in hand always has a certain bloody smell.

No matter what, they are all a group of mercenaries. The huge profits brought by the work of licking blood on the knife edge will always make them feel at ease to a certain extent.

What's more, they are not human beings, so there is no need to consider too much about alien forces.

As long as they live well, that is more important than anything else. Especially until now, the number of citizens in the Kingdom of Negan has not exceeded 10,000, which is only about 870,000. It is impossible to compare with the more than 80,000 natives.

In order for the Kingdom of Negan to thoroughly take root in the New World, the natives must be divided and dismembered, and any chance of unity among the natives must be eliminated.

Of course, as for Tulo's own work now, he is actually doing a pretty good job.

At the same time, in the palace of the Kingdom of Negan, Her Majesty the Queen, who was listening to the prime minister's report, shook her head.

"Your Majesty?"

"If possible, our route may need to be modified."

"Your Majesty, this difficulty..."

"If not, forget it. As far as the current situation is concerned, our relationship with the Orchid Kingdom in the north is good, and the trade between the two sides is developing relatively well."

"Your Majesty, the Orchid Kingdom is much more vigilant than the indigenous countries."

"Normal. After all, the Orchid Kingdom was founded by refugees from the Old World. Its culture and system are the successors of the second most powerful human country in the Old World, the Jingnan Federal Republic. They rely on a large number of weapons and equipment to ensure their vigilance against our kingdom."

"But they ban guns."

"To be honest, I also want to ban guns completely. But in terms of the situation among the people, it doesn't make much difference whether it is banned or not."

As Her Majesty the Queen herself said, more and more people in the Kingdom of Negan know magic. Guns have become a burden in their hands. Now only security companies have a certain number of guns.

Moreover, when it comes to private arsenals, since the domestic market has not developed much, the foreign market has become the main place to make money. The large number of human countries in the eastern part of the Old World that are neither hegemons but want to be hegemons all have a strong demand for arms without exception.

For this reason, the famous and unknown black market is where the arms dealers of the Kingdom of Negan can show their strength.

"Also, the Principality of Akern..."

"The overlords among the natives must be properly disciplined, even if this will lead to the temporary prominence of some inferior guys, but it's good. After all, the Principality of Akern has enjoyed a lot of benefits, and it's time to share what they have gained."

"Yes."

"At the same time, our expansion direction will change from the north to the south."

"Your Majesty?"

"There are too many jungles in the north, which are far inferior to the grassland environment in the coastal areas of the south. More importantly, we can build a more glorious city based on the natives."

"Yes."

"By the way, as long as you have made enough contributions to the kingdom, ten wives..."

"Your Majesty, don't do it. The soldiers below are not very willing, and even feel tortured."
