It is much better to earn a little less than to keep losing money at all, this is the view that most goblins agree with, and it is regarded as the iron law of the situation and the universal value of goblins.

"That's right, that's right. ”

"Well, I can't stand the days when I can't make money. ”

"It's painful, now that there is a war in Scandinavia, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make money, and if it goes on like this, you will have to make a lot less money every day. ”

The goblins below were discussing in whispers, but soon they were quiet again under the cold gaze of the goblin prince, and their mouths were closed, and their eyes were straight ahead, looking like the students who had been caught deserting in class.

"Ahem"

"Well, then, I'll tell you what I think. ”

The goblin prince stood up from his chair, his short body exuding an aura that was impossible to ignore, and the air in the entire room seemed to be frozen, and the goblins couldn't help but have the illusion that they had difficulty breathing.

The goblin who was the first of them, his face pale, his feet trembling slightly under the table, only then did he truly understand how ridiculous his previous provocations and ambitions looked, the gap between him and the prince was even greater than he had imagined, and it was very likely that he had no hope of trying to cross it.

"The Baltic Empire is preventing us from making money, so we decided to blockade Jutland and make them understand our power, so that the woman can abandon her methods and learn from the Scandinavians. ”

"This is something that everyone present agrees on, and there is no objection, and I think everyone here has not had such a bad memory, so quickly forget the decision they sat down again. ”

"Let the Baltic Empire bow its head, we can get more benefits around the Baltic Sea, and we can further complete our monopoly plan, I think this, you also agree. ”

With the words of the Prince of Trade, the surrounding goblins all nodded, and it was precisely because all the goblins chose to agree that the combined power would make the Baltic Empire jealous.

However, the goblins also know their own weight, and they know that after a few years of the Baltic Empire's establishment and successful existence, they will not be able to defeat the other party with their strength, let alone destroy the other party, and completely occupy and monopolize the markets and transactions around the Baltic Sea.

"So, I want to ask you, judging from the previous actions of that person, how much price do you think we need to pay this time to be able to obtain her forgiveness, and how long will it take us to wait for the next opportunity after missing this opportunity. ”

"Or do you think, with that person's heart, that will give us a second chance? Think about it, think about it carefully, my fellow citizens, this fight is no longer a matter of money, it is about the lives of all the goblins present. ”

The Prince of Trade looked grim, stretched out his right hand and pointed at himself, and then pointed at all the goblins present one by one, and none of them fell.

"[The Girl Who Brings Calamity]"

Just by mentioning this title, the goblins present couldn't help but shake their bodies, and a trace of fear appeared on their faces, if it wasn't for money, they would definitely not choose to stand on the opposite side of that one.

"I think, this time, you don't want the walking calamity to befall you...... It's really stupid not to resist at this time, not to eliminate the calamity that befell you, but to focus on what is in front of you. ”

"Listen to me, remember me with my brain, give me soberness, only if I live, I can continue to make money, and if I die, there will be nothing! Only by letting the empire see our power can she be scrupulous!"

There was no falsehood, the Prince of Trade just made the result serious, and all the goblins fell silent in amazement, and when they died, there was nothing left, and the words kept echoing in their minds.

When the illusion of capitulation was shattered by the cruel words of the Prince of Trade, the goblins quickly realized what choice to make at this point, including the pearl goblin, and they all changed their attitudes and had to change their attitudes if he did not want to be isolated and torn apart as a morale-boosting sacrifice.

The room was once again in a quarrel, but this time there was only one topic left around them, what kind of method to use to fight the Baltic Empire, to control the economy of the Baltic region, to control the golden route that was out of their control, so that the Baltic Empire could rely on them, take care of them, and dare not take risks.

-------------

“…… It's really rare, Semiramis's plan, this time it is rare that it did not succeed, in my memory, this is the first time, these goblins still have two brushes. ”

Quickly glanced at the information placed on the desktop, Qi'er fell into the sofa and fell into deep thought, such a thing as the old driver overturning the car is rarely seen.

After a few years of training, Qil quickly matured and knew what it meant to focus on the big picture, if it was a few years ago, seeing Semiramis deflated, he would definitely be rolling happily in bed now.

"I didn't expect that this time it was actually because of my sister's prestige, even the goblins were united, [if you die, there is nothing], and sure enough, no matter what kind of race you are, you are afraid of death. ”

Qi'er's slender feet swayed gently in a fixed melody, his brown skin glowing seductively in the light.

"Leave it to me, sister, it seems that this time you have recognized my power. ”

Thinking of the words written by Alice on the letter, a happy smile appeared on Qi'er's face, although it said that there was not much written on it, but the smell of concern between the lines could not be concealed.

"If the current unity and decision are due to the belief that the Baltic Empire, that my sister will choose revenge because of what happened before, and that she chose unity because of the fear of death, then now, tell them what it would be like if they compromised and could survive and pay not much, let's see. ”

A playful smile appeared on his cold face, and before he knew it, Qi'er's personality, habits, and tone of voice were moving closer to Alice.

This is Qi'er's judgment, the main contradiction that needs to be solved first, when the matter of the goblin is solved, all other aspects have room to maneuver, as for the rest of the matter, it is the future that needs to be considered, whether to take further measures to weaken the power of the goblin, or let it go, not as an example, then wait for Alice to decide.

Then, for the next half a day, Qil put the letter that he had written long ago in front of the goblins, of course, these goblins were selective, and they were all goblins who were willing to bow to the Baltic Empire at the meeting.

The reason why these people are now rallying around the Prince of Trade is simply intimidated by the words of the Prince of Trade, believing that Alice and the Empire will not have the slightest room for maneuver in this matter, and that only by resisting can they survive.

However, if Qil, as an emissary of the Baltic Empire, had told them and promised them that if they renounced their collusion with the Prince of Trade and were willing to choose to reconcile with the Baltic Empire, the Baltic Empire and Alice would not only hold them accountable for the incident afterwards, but would also give them their share of the trade of the diehards.

……

This is a condition that the goblins absolutely cannot refuse, to survive and continue to earn money, to continue to enjoy the current glory and wealth, no, not only that, but they can also use the Baltic hand to solve their competitors without paying a penny, even if those competitors are their fellow citizens.

This city, which has been piled up with money by the goblins of the Northland Group, has fallen into a strange silence at night, and even the stupid and stupid trolls can feel that the situation is not right in this cold night.

All of them were in their houses with their windows and doors closed, weapons and equipment in their hands, waiting cautiously, ready to attack the possible enemy or the thug who broke through the door.

As the city's de facto goblins, they have mobilized their guards near their residences, dense protective magic is everywhere, flying troops patrol the sky, and spellcasters have come out of the laboratory and library to enter a state of readiness.

The goblins received the news that someone would attack them in the city tonight, and they didn't dare to take it lightly, whether it was someone selling it to them for money or a smoke bomb deliberately released by the enemy.

As it turned out, Goblin Caution was the wrong choice this time...... Tonight's night is more beautiful in the midst of change, and for more tranquility, destruction is here.

Scattered flames appeared in the city, and quickly spread to the surrounding buildings, and those buildings built from wood for the sake of price became the best material for burning flames at this time.

At the same time, explosions came from all corners of the city, and various races with flames on their bodies screamed and ran through the streets, and then gradually lost their lives and became cold.

The harbor was in flames, countless merchant ships and their cargo were rapidly disappearing in the flames, and the narrow docks and approaching ships looked like a sea of pure flames.

After the flames burned for five minutes, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky, rolling and roaring, and a sharp rain poured down, and a few small dots could be faintly seen floating in the air, with a blue glow on their bodies.

At the same time, as if a tired bird had returned to the forest, the sea of fire in the harbor turned into a bunch and threw itself into the arms of one of the figures, whose hands were full of green tendons holding a light red container that exuded an astonishing heat.

Seeing that the flames of the harbor were restrained, and when he could breathe a sigh of relief, a black short knife appeared on the back of his neck silently, only to feel a light head, and his consciousness suddenly fell into darkness.

"Assassins, assassins, be careful. ”

The sound of panic came through the rain curtain to their ears, and the casters who were fighting the fire suddenly raised their vigilance, and colorful magic shields appeared around them.

These spellcasters are all goblins who use money to provide him with a lot of knowledge and resources for research, and only require them to be able to solve some difficult problems at critical times.

Covered in Morrigan's Invisibility Cloak, Kir hides in the rain as she looks up at the casters around her, squinting for her next target.

The fire, of course, was her handiwork, and only such violent means and the ability to make the goblins feel the pain of the loss could make those weak doves recognize the true attitude and strength of the empire.

However, these spellcasters who appeared in mid-air were also her goal this time, and only by completely eliminating the power in the hands of the goblins and leaving them with no hope of resisting would the situation unfold as she had planned.

The black short knife blends into the night sky, even if you use an ability like [Dark Vision], it is difficult to accurately capture its traces, and with the skills used by Qi'er, it is even more difficult to prevent it from breaking through the air without breaking the sound.

Two more casters were killed in the throat and heart with precise knives, and the other casters ignored the goblins' shouts for their own lives, stopped casting their spells, and returned to the ground.

The caster and goblin are only in a mercenary relationship, which means that they are destined to remain silent or flee when they encounter an invincible enemy that threatens their lives.

It's just a deal between the two sides, so there's no need to mention anything like loyalty, with the character of those goblins, it's difficult to get loyal subordinates, after all, as long as you have enough chips, mutual betrayal between relatives is also the norm in goblin society.

Not all goblins were flustered, stamped, angry, in the middle of the city, there were a few courtyards, a few streets, were not affected by the flames and explosions, and those were the places where the goblins who had received a letter from Qil and agreed to the Empire's request.

Of course, their ships and cargo in the dock port were not immune, but as compensation, they could receive a large amount of compensation from the Empire after this incident, and they would be granted tax exemption for a certain period of time.

Coupled with ensuring the safety of their lives, under such conditions, these goblins did not have any resistance at all, so they chose to agree, and did not hesitate to send the information of other goblins to the empire as a meeting gift.

Otherwise, with an intelligence system that has just been formed like the Empire, there is no way to unknowingly arrange so many traps and traps in a city that has been run by goblins for many years without being discovered.
