Chapter 295 Wind and Clouds
The whole world is preparing for an auction, and this kind of rare thing in a thousand years has indeed happened on the continent of Yavia.
A series of chain reactions occurred all over the world. The sensation caused by this banquet surprised everyone. The kings of various empires were restless, and the military forces of all countries were ready to move.
In the Adams Empire, Emperor Claude summoned all the big businessmen in the territory he could find, whether it was assessed or forced, and even his own property was sold at a discount. He tried his best to raise funds and prepared to send people to Romell to bid for the magic cannon.
Adams soon raised the largest amount of money since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Claude, a former businessman, naturally knew how terrible this huge sum was. If it was a traditional army, he could at least arm hundreds of thousands of troops with this money.
The fortress empire is also bankrupt. Emperor Paulson personally ordered to sell all the materials that can be sold and raise everything that the Holy Sword Duchy is interested in. In the end, it has even developed to sell wood to the elf forest full of trees in exchange for a few poor copper coins.
Paulson is now impoverished. As a soldier, he knows the importance of the magic cannon as a weapon, so if the ministers hadn't fought desperately against it, he would have sold his palace. Now he has 2 billion gold coins in his hand, with certificates of ownership of 40 crystal mines and steel mines as an exchange, and has also prepared 400 tons of magic crystals for the Principality of Sword as a gift. One-mindedness is only for the magic cannon.
The Holy Empire was also flying. Leon Barton led dozens of senior military generals to block the gate of Colse Palace and begged Arnold to buy magic cannons to improve his military strength. The palace guards and the regular army's long guns and shields of steel knives and arrows were together, and the scene was extremely hot.
Slock has been skinned by Pope Arnold these days, and now he has almost sold the floor tiles in the office of the archbishop of economics. The whole country has received taxes for one year in advance and emptied the national treasury. However, Arnold was still reprimanded. The angry Arnold even used divine punishment to copy the property of more than 70 corrupt officials and sold a lot of royal property, which reluctantly gave Leon Barton an explanation.
The Yongye Empire was not spared. The feudal officials wrote letters to the emperor to punish the officials and generals who agreed to fight against the Holy Sword Principality. Yue Wushen personally knelt down in the hall and begged the emperor to mobilize national forces to buy magic cannons. The second prince was swarmed with military representatives and those who begged for mercy in favor of the crusade against the Holy Sword Duchy. The officials were so worried that they finally said they were ill and closed the door to thank the guests.
Although she hated the Principality of Shengjian, Ye Qiong still raised a large amount of funds from the four vassal towns and took out the royal savings for many years. The Yue family even donated more than half of the family property. The national army tightened enough money to collect relatively satisfactory funds, ignoring the crying of the civilians along the way and ignoring the grievances of the people in the town. He said, sent it in the direction of the Principality of the Holy Sword.
"Bang!" An exquisite sword vine necklace pendant was dropped on the wall, and it was carefully picked up by a pair of slender and white hands. It was slowly played with it in the palm of its hand, and a beautiful voice muttered to himself: "Acado! Today's revenge, I must get it back for the Eternal Night Empire!"
It turns out that in fact, the senior officials of the Eternal Night Empire hate not only Emperor Yeqiong, but also the heroine Yue Linger.
However, the authorities of these four empires are painful and happy at this moment, because their auction invitations did not appear in the Southeast City and the Northern Holy Empire. The rulers of these two forces are now not qualified to worry.
The sad-faced Northern Holy Empire is really crying without tears at this moment. At that time, 50,000 crusade troops were sent to pick up a bargain. As a result, 50,000 people were killed for nothing, and they fell into today's embarrassing situation - they didn't find a bargain when they divided the Lovik Empire, and such an important auction meeting also lost their money. ge.
However, Baoken, the emperor of the Northern Holy Empire, at the suggestion of the old and resourceful General Brown, sent an envoy, led by General Brown himself, to the Principality of the Holy Sword with the collected gold coins and magical crystal mineral reserves.
The southeast city-state, which also did not receive the invitation, adopted a similar strategy, and the muuse also sent his trusted minister to Romere with poor gold coins.
However, due to a series of problems such as the stagnation of agricultural production caused by the war, the harassment of Sean Navy's desperate family along the coast, the economic blockade of the Principality of Shengjian, and the escape of merchants caused by the collapse of the domestic investment environment, the Southeast city-states really can't afford to buy the "luxury" of magic cannons. This time The purpose is to show goodwill.
The muse has also made up his mind that the Eternal Night Empire and the Holy Empire need their shield to withstand the expanding Holy Sword Principality, at least before fully replicating the magic cannon, so he has decided to buy some magic cannons from the two empires to supplement his military strength.
In comparison, the lineup of the Elf Forest to Romell City this time can be said to be unprecedented. Doris, the Queen of the Elf Forest, led an inspection mission of more than 1,300 officials and nobles to Romell City, giving face to Prince Regent of the Elf Forest.
And the current Queen Doris is not the Queen of the Elf Forest in the crisis a year ago. The orcs have been contained in the southwest and still dare not launch a rash attack. She has also stabilized the foundation and eliminated the hidden dangers of old forces such as punk in the rear because of the selfless help of the Holy Sword Principality for a year.
And she came here with thousands of years of accumulation of the Elf Forest and the loan of billions of gold coins from the Principality of the Holy Sword. From her calm eyes, it can be seen that she is determined to get a series of weapons and equipment of the Principality of the Holy Sword, such as the magic cannon armored vehicle.
At the same time, countless merchants have set foot on the land of the Principality of the Holy Sword, which is full of gold. In their hearts, Romer City and the original Rome Island, which is the holy city in the commercial world. Dozens of top families in Yavia have made up their minds to cooperate with the Duchy of the Holy Sword in any field.
Of course, as one of the most profitable traditional projects, the arms business is indispensable, so these rotten but extremely cunning ancient and huge families have rushed to Romer, hoping to get a share of the upcoming arms auction.
No one doubts that the magic cannon in their hands will not be sold. At that time, the major empires can only compete with countless gold coins for each cannon, and will never easily let go of an opportunity to strengthen themselves and weaken their opponents.
