Chapter 119 A Deputy Cavalry Regiment Chief

Let's push the time back to 36180 of the creation of the gods and January 2 of 1575 of the Holy Empire. Most people in the world are still in the happy atmosphere of the New Year, but the envoys of the Holy Empire and the Eternal Night Empire are not among these most people. They arrived at Rome almost at the same time, but only one is On a fair visit, one disguised as a businessman arrived by a passenger ship on Rome Island.

Romai Island is undoubtedly the object of the Holy Empire, because Romai Island exports a large number of weapons and equipment, such as swords, such as crossbows. These export items can even be purchased without cash, as long as they can be exchanged with magic crystals, and 300,000 gold coins are used as the envoy of Acting Pope Chris. After purchasing 50,000 crossbows and 200,000 crossbows on Rome Island, Acting Pope Chris personally supported Arcado and declared Arcado as the honorary bishop of the Holy Empire and enjoyed the bishop's reception ceremony in the territory of the Holy Empire.

Almost at the same time, a strange merchant came to Rome Island. He clarified his identity to Arcado. He was an envoy from the Eternal Night Empire and asked him to transport a batch of superior crossbows to a small port near Doles City. The Eternal Night Empire was willing to buy 100,000 strong crossbows and 200,000 with 500,000 gold coins. Archa did readily agree to the request of the Eternal Night Empire, and the Eternal Night Empire announced its recognition of the independence of Rome Island a month later.

If for a long time, Arcado needs to create the illusion of his wealth and status to deceive many businessmen into doing business equally. Now Arcado deliberately keeps a low profile, but many businessmen are willing to be severely slaughtered by him and want to do business with him. Yes, it is very safe and face-to-face to do business with a businessman recognized by all monarchs and regimes, so most people enjoy it.

In Lomec Province and Luolei Province, Rome Island has acquired a large number of crystal mines. The crystals extracted from these mines are continuously sent to Rome Island. Now Rome Island's demand for crystal mines is even greater. If you can imagine the total demand for oil and arms in the United States, then you can To understand the extent of Rome Island's desire for magic crystals.

This time, Arcado came to inspect the Romeck mine in Lomec Province in a low profile. He wanted to make sure that each mine had been used efficiently. Acado tragically found that the richer he became, the more stingy he became. He now almost cares about the whereabouts of every gold coin, because he has to work hard for the world he dreams of, because what he bears is no longer his dream, but the common dream of many people on Rome Island.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the mine, Arcado saw a group of ragged people squatting aside. Most of them were disabled, but most of them had strong bodies. They seemed to be defeated on the front-line battlefield, and then did not dismiss the soldiers. The cruel regulations of the Holy Empire, and there were no compensation for the casualties in the retreated army. This made many families of the wounded and fallen into slavery. These people in front of us look like such a group of poor people.

"Okay, let's go to work. We can all work. Look, at least 20 of us can work for you." A leading man prayed at the door, and there were about 20 healthy strong men behind him.

"I'm happy to accept the 20 people you mentioned, but look at the conditions you offer. You want our mine to help you support your injured men, sir, do you think I will feed 60 people for 20 laborers?" The person in charge of the mine guarded the door with several doormen and didn't let these people in.

"Please, sir, let us in!" The strong man took the lead pleading and knelt in front of the person in charge of the mine. Judging from his red face, he did not often do such a shameful thing as kneeling.

"Sir, you'd better get up. I'm just a businessman employed by the owner of Rome Island, so I don't have the right to take you in at all." The person in charge said no way.

At this time, Arcado came to the side of the two people with a smile, pulled up the man kneeling on the ground with his own hand, and asked gently, "Are these all your people?" After saying that, he looked at the crooked disabled people behind him and the eighteen or nineteen strong men standing on the side.

"Yes, sir, we can all work, and have paid a painful price to protect the peace of one side. We are all soldiers belonging to the 14th Cavalry Corps. I am Edward, the deputy commander. My regimental commander has died in battle. We did not retreat in the face of 100,000 cavalry of the Green Dragon Army, but to give it to the 14th Army. The regiment left the last bit of incense, and I was ordered to retreat with the wounded soldiers. I am still alive to find a life for these people. Please take us in for the sake of fighting for this country. Edward pleaded with tears in his eyes.

"I can tell you that I'm not moved by your words. Mr. Edward, you and your soldiers have paid for the Holy Empire, and this belongs to Romer. You haven't paid anything for Romer, so I don't owe you anything. You can try to impress me again." Arcado looked at Edward in front of him and still said with a smile.

"I can pay any price for these brothers, as long as you need, Mr. Romer from Rome." Edward said seriously, and several big men behind him also came forward and said, "Yes, sir, we are willing to do anything." They looked at the ordinary young man in front of them with expectation. It seemed that they had suffered a lot and been rejected many times before they came to the door of this mine today.

"Including abandoning your motherland and being loyal to Rudolf Arcado from then on, killing and burning for him, slaughtering gods for him, becoming a dog for him, or becoming a devil for him, or becoming a hero for his needs!" Arcado paused and asked with a soft smile, "Until you give your life?"

"Who the hell are you?" Edward was definitely not a fool to sit in the position of deputy commander. On the contrary, he was very smart and immediately found that the young man opposite was not simple. He felt the breath of the long-lost superior and felt a sense of oppression.

"My name is Rudolph Arcado, the leader of Rome Island." Arcado said with a smile. As soon as he finished speaking, a man in a black cloak behind him handed over a token with a sword full of gems. Seeing this token, the person in charge of the mine immediately knelt down and saluted.
