Chapter 436: Making a Lot of War Money
In the Free City, Salt Harbor is the most prosperous city except for Tasan, not only a turnover station for the slave trade at sea, but also a long coastline and a unique geographical advantage that also makes the city have several large salt works.
Once this gap is opened, perhaps the entire Free City will fall.
The city near the sea was originally flat, and those small hills were dug up to reclaim the land, and the current salt port has no defense at all.
No matter how high the walls are, can they defend against warships? Fortunately, the enemy's warships are limited in number and have not yet sailed to the Free City, but these defenses are not difficult for the magician.
In the city lord's mansion, Yun Ying had all kinds of medicinal herbs and ores in front of her, she was only glad that she was still in the Free City, and the most important thing here was medicinal herbs and slaves who mined ores.
She had handed over the method of making bombs and magic cannons without reservation, but the output of others was not as large as hers, and due to the tight supply of raw materials, she did it herself as much as possible.
"Miss, there's a letter from the clan!" As soon as Yun Ying walked out of the real room, someone handed over a letter with both hands.
It was Alice's letter, and the red seal on it showed how important it was.
After reading the letter, the piece of paper was unconsciously pinched by Yun Ying, accompanied by a faint smell of medicinal powder, a flame rose from her hand, and the letter was also burned to ashes.
"How is it possible?"
Yun Ying was sure that this was Yun Hu's handwriting, but he did sue her with a positive attitude and gave up guarding the salt port!
There are only a few words at stake, and although Yun Ying doesn't know much about human feelings, she understands them all.
How could she have forgotten that the Free City was not a country at all, not ruled by any king. This place...... There is no way to go to war at all!
There was no way she could convince the people to fight for the Free City, and even if the soldiers came to the city, no one would fight.
The city of the free is rich, and whoever can give them a stable life will be able to rule over his common people and get huge taxes, and this country can be a secret state. It could also be the Kaiyue Empire. It could also be the Bilmark Empire on an expedition to the Eastern Continent.
It is such an incredible peninsula, inhabited by a group of unbelievable civilians, and there is no need for a king here. Wars rarely break out, and the impact of a war on it is not even as good as the cat demon poison three years ago.
Yun Ying didn't know that Dark Fragrance had sent her here. Isn't it just to test her abilities?
But she is good at making zuò weapons, and she is still too young after all. When she came to such a city, she quickly felt how isolated she was, and it was those councillors who really called the shots in Salt Harbor, and she was not good at this kind of thing!
Until now. There was not a single soldier in the salt port, and after some soldiers died in battle, Yun Ying had to go to the slave market to buy some slaves. Teach them the simplest infusion crystals and bombardments.
It has not been a day or two since the war between the Eastern and Western Continents began, and Yun Ying has never been so helpless. She can't kill all 500 councillors, can she?
It's easy to kill, but in the end, if you provoke the whole Free City to riot, wouldn't it push them faster to the side that surrendered?
The invasion of the Western Continent shook the entire Eastern Continent, and only the Free City stood still, not only that, but these black-hearted traders also took this opportunity to make a lot of war profits.
Selling medicinal herbs, selling weapons, and operating war slaves, it can be said that the Bilmark Empire that invaded the Eastern Continent did not get such a big benefit.
This kind of mess can drag on for a while, although the Free City will not really be ruled by the Biermak Empire, but if it really becomes the colonist here, it will be a matter of time before it cannibalizes the Eastern Continent.
Dark Fragrance may have sent her here to face these monsters who can't get in the oil and salt because of this consideration.
Her bombs can't be used, the warship can't move, and she can't destroy their salt pan if she wants to use the magic cannon, this feeling of restraint challenges Yun Ying's patience step by step.
"Miss, those old immortal things have finally moved!" At this moment, the maid who had just reported the news ran in from outside with a scream.
Yun Ying couldn't help frowning: "What's there to be happy about?" ”
There was a sudden riot in front of the City Lord's Mansion, and the city guards who didn't kill finally moved, and the three magicians who fell from the sky on broomsticks made Yun Ying ecstatic.
"It's Li'er and Nana!"
Although the appearance of the three of them has been disguised, these two brooms were made by Yun Ying herself, how could she admit her mistake?
"Stop!" Yun Ying hurriedly stopped the city guards.
"Sister!" Yun Li couldn't help but burst out with a low snort, she knew it since she came here, she knew it......
How could Dark Incense do this to her! How could this qiē be different from what she had experienced in her previous life!
The invasion of the Western Continent, she has always been the main battle faction, it is true that Dark Incense is also the main battle, and she has also prepared for this for many years in advance, however, the gap between the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent in terms of magical attainments is difficult to make up at all......
It's because she doesn't know the current affairs, and when Dark Xiang doesn't want to fight anymore, she still chooses to stand down!
Then, she was sent to Liberty City, a seemingly simple but vicious place where no matter what she did, she could not mobilize the people here, and even if she had the heart to fight, the people here would not allow her to do so.
"Why is this still happening...... Why is it still like this......" Yunli's lips kept trembling, silently reading in the bottom of her heart. She is no longer Yun Ying, and this Yun Ying has also returned from learning from the Goblin Kingdom, why does Dark Xiang treat her like this?
"Where is my sister......" Yun Ying grabbed Yun Li and Giovina's heads, hugged them, and smiled happily. No matter how long you are separated, no matter how much suffering you experience, the kind of family affection that blood is thicker than water will still not change.
After placing Yun Li to live temporarily, Yun Ying only reported good news and not bad news, it is true that her weapon research progress has been very fast, but when dealing with those real people in power in Yangang, Yun Ying ran into walls everywhere, and these did not tell Yun Li.
"Is that really the case?" Yun Li's heart was half cold after listening to what Yun Ying said.
"Really, don't you still believe in the power of the magic cannon? Yangang may not produce much else, but gold coins and ores can still be produced......" Yun Ying finished the second half of the sentence, and suddenly realized that something was wrong, she seemed to accidentally tell the truth.
After taking a deep breath, Yun Ying didn't look at Yun Li's face, but just whispered: "Li'er, we can't give up the Free City, the situation on the mainland has changed greatly, can these dozens of cities really stay out of it?"
"They all want to take this opportunity to make a lot of war money, so why should we bother ourselves. (To be continued.) )
