The United Duchy, the First Duchy, the Grand Duke's Palace, in front of the Grand Duke is the Generalissimo of the Holy Knights Alliance, the Grand Judge of the United Duchy.

The Grand Duke's brows tightened, and he asked with a serious expression, "You guys, under such a blockade, how long can the Ninth Duchy last?"

This matter should be asked of the internal affairs of the internal affairs of the Interior, and the Generalissimo and the Chief Justice, how can they know.

The generalissimo looked slightly stunned, and spoke first, "According to the statistics of the joint, the complete construction of a main city, plus the surrounding investment, will cost at least trillions of gold coins!"

And the Ninth Duchy, as long as it is simple, in the early stage, even if he completes the construction of the main city, it is just an empty city!

At present, the focus of the Ninth Duchy should be on the grain grown in the western lands.

Then the investment will be some, even if it is again, with the financial resources of the Ninth Duchy, it will definitely not be able to hold on!"

The Generalissimo's words made the Grand Duke of the United Duchy look relaxed, and he looked at the Joint Justice, only to hear the Joint Justice say, "The financial blockade of the Union Bank has indeed had a great impact on the Ninth Duchy.

But the alliance of nobles did not take the opportunity to invest, which puzzles me!

There's also an association of magicians, whose assets are equally invisible!"

The archduke's brow, which had just stretched, was twisted.

"The Noble Alliance? Ben Gong doesn't quite understand, it stands to reason that they should take the opportunity to invest money wildly, but the current situation has to make people suspicious!

As for the Wizards' Guild, they are a strong supporter of the West.

All the main city construction, not a penny, it is estimated that the duke of the Ninth Duchy has not lost blood!

The blockade of the Union Bank is only aimed at ordinary businessmen, and I don't know what is going on with the aristocratic United Media?"

The generalissimo said with a smile on his face, "The deputy head of the noble alliance, James Bond has abdicated, and the newly appointed Byzantium has not given the Grand Duke tens of billions of gold coins?

The Grand Duke's expression was serious, "It's because of this that it's even more suspicious, the Duke only gave him an empty promise, and he just quit like this, impossible!"

The Ninth Duchy, the Western Wasteland, the ten most important main cities, has been fully built.

The Duke of the Ninth Duchy walked the streets of the newly built main city with the Knight Guard, along with the president of the Southeast Wizards Association and the leader of the Ninth Alliance.

A westerly wind blew, and the Duke of the Ninth Duchy sighed.

Looking at the empty and empty main city, the Duke could not eat or sleep.

"Ten years of tax exemption, no one will come.

This United Principality is too ruthless, it really pushes me into a hurry, I can do anything!"

A knight rode through the gates and came to the leader of the Ninth Alliance.

Dismount and salute, "Chief, there are merchants of the First Duchy, ask to see the Duke!"

The leader of the Holy Knight Alliance came to the duke, only to see the duke frown, "At this time, from the First Duchy?"

Could it be an aristocratic flatterer?"

In an empty hotel in the main city. The Grand Duke set a table full of dishes and waited patiently, the merchants from the First Duchy.

The First Admiral of Alandis, led by the Paladins Alliance of the Ninth Duchy, arrived at the empty main city.

In the hotel, the Admiral met for the first time, the Duke of the Ninth Duchy.

Across the table, the two men looked at each other in a long silence.

The president of the Southeast Magicians Association was the first to come to the general.

"It's been a hard journey, welcome to the Ninth Duchy, the main city of the west!"

The general smiled, "No matter how hard I work, I can't work as hard as the Duke of the Ninth Duchy!"

Lord Duke, it's really hard for you to support so many captives!"

More than 10 million of the 90 million captives died of illness alive, and now the 80 million captives are still around the main city, reclaiming wasteland and planting winter grain for the duke of the Ninth Duchy, which makes the general angry when he thinks about it.

The Duke of the Ninth Duchy got up from his seat, "Where, where, so many people, wouldn't it be a great sin to kill them all?"

The Ninth Duchy, poor, can't afford to keep so many captives, so it can only reclaim the land on this wasteland so that they can survive!

You may be seated!"

The Admiral sat unceremoniously across from the Duke.

His bearing made the Duke of the Ninth Duchy look moved.

This man was definitely not an ordinary businessman, and such a thought flashed through the mind of the Duke of the Ninth Duchy.

Then he opened his mouth to probe, "Your Excellency is really a merchant from the First Duchy?"

The Duke sat in his seat, never taking his eyes off the general's eyes.

The general sighed, "I can't hide it, my true identity is inconvenient!"

I'm here, indeed, to do business!

I don't know, Lord Duke, can you be the lord of the main city in the west!"

As soon as these words said, the leader of the Ninth Alliance Army was slightly angry, "Lord Duke, he is the Duke of the Ninth Duchy, and in the Ninth Duchy, there is nothing that the Duke cannot decide!"

The Duke of the Ninth Duchy smiled slightly and said, "If you want to invest in the main city, there is no problem!"

Someone, show the rules to this merchant from the First Duchy!"

"No need! I've seen those things a long time ago!"

The Admiral said.

He picked up his knife and fork and leisurely ate the food on the table.

His behavior made the Duke of the Ninth Duchy look stunned and asked, "What, do you have an opinion about the ten-year tax holiday?"

The admiral shook his head and said, "No!"

"Is that disgusted with the scarcity of personnel in the west? Afraid that we will not be able to recover the cost?"

"Not either!"

The Duke of the Ninth Duchy looked puzzled, "Why is that?"

The general picked up the white cloth on the table, wiped his mouth, stretched out his palm, and said, "I want to lease five main cities!"

The Duke of the Ninth Duchy took a sharp breath, "What are you?"

The duke of the Ninth Duchy, with a look of disbelief, made the general's brows tighten, did he not agree.

"Do you know that although the current ten main cities have been built, the flow of people has not yet come up!

Besides, even if you count the captives outside the city, you won't be able to recoup the cost!

You're not an official of the United Duchy!"

The Duke of the Ninth Duchy said here, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked murderous.

The general smiled slightly and said, "Lord Duke, you misunderstood, if I were an official of the United Duchy, I would not have come here at all.

I've also been to see the ten main cities built by the United Duchy.

There is a lot of noise over there, but there is no one here in the Ninth Duchy!

That's why I came to the Duke for Da Rao!"

This made the Duke of the Ninth Duchy slightly stunned and asked, "Because there is no one, you came to me, so what are you for?"

The duke of the Ninth Duchy is most afraid that the United Duchy has mastered the lifeblood of the west, so he will work completely in vain to develop the west.

As long as it is not a politician in the United Principality, everything is negotiable.

The general said, "The main city built by the United Principality, and most of the merchants in it are people who are related to the officials of the United Principality. The most important thing is that the land outside the main city belongs to the United Duchy, and no private owners are allowed to own cherry blossoms

They can get the land, but it's hard for me!"

"How much money do you have?" the Duke of the Ninth Duchy probably understood when he heard this.

The other party has taken a fancy to the grain in the western wasteland, and there are indeed many such people. However, most people do not have the qualifications to fight for it.

The general got up, took out his identification card, and handed it to the Duke of the Neighboring Nine Duchies.

The president of the Southeast Division Association took it, took out the capital verification magic array he carried with him, and swiped the card up.

The numbers displayed on it made the eyes of the president of the Southeast Magician Association explode.

"This, how much is this?"

The president of the Southeast Magicians Association exclaimed, he counted half of it, but he didn't count it clearly.

The duke of the Ninth Duchy frowned, as long as he had money, everything was easy to discuss.

"Five main cities? too many, so let's just give you one main city!

Don't be too busy refusing just yet, listen to me!"

The Duke of the Ninth Duchy asked him to unfold the map, point to a main city in the heart of the west, and spoke.

"This main city, in the center of the west, surrounded by thousands of miles, is a wasteland!

This thousand miles of land, plus this city!

Within 10 years, tax free!

What do you think?"

The admiral was short of breath, such a big place was enough for all his troops at sea to live!

Finally, I don't have to let them drift on the sea anymore, I can give them a home.

The general couldn't help but shed a tear, which he immediately wiped away and asked, "How much?"

The Duke of the Ninth Duchy thought in his heart, but he remained silent on the surface, and with a smile, he said tentatively, "All of your cards!"

"Deal!"

The general said dryly.

This made the Duke of the Ninth Duchy a little uncomfortable, and he quickly adjusted himself and said, "In that case, then take a pen and paper!"

The scroll was stamped, and the Duke of the Ninth Duchy personally handed the contract to the general.

The general's identity card was swiped to the treasury of the Ninth Duchy through the magic array. The deal was a perfect success with two smiles.

Soon, the head of the Union Bank, who was far away in the United Principality, pushed open the door to his office.

"Oh no, the Magicians Association of the United Duchy, a distinguished member, transferred fifty trillion gold coins to the treasury account of the Ninth Duchy!"

The pen in the hand of the head of the Union Bank fell suddenly.

He came to the interior officer without stopping, and the interior minister had a serious face.

"Wizards' Guild, they're so bold!

Go, close all their accounts!"

The head of the Union Bank was just about to leave when he was stopped by the Interior Officer.

After thinking about it repeatedly, the internal affairs officer still decided that he couldn't do this, the Magicians Association, but the treasury of all magicians on the continent, and the seizure of their accounts would cause dissatisfaction among all magicians, and the consequences would be unimaginable. This matter can only be considered in the long run.

"Slow, don't worry, follow me to the Grand Duke's Mansion first!"

The Interior Officer, with the head of the Union Bank, came to the Grand Duke's Palace of the United Duchy.

Grand Duke's Palace, Grand Council Hall, Interior Officer, Treasurer, Co-Chancellor, Generalissimo of the Holy Knights Alliance.

They all sat down on the side, and the Grand Duke was expressionless.

The Interior Officer was the first to speak, "It's my poor management that has been exploited!"

The Grand Duke waved his hand and said, "It's not your problem!"

Then he asked, "Who is it, have you found out?"

The Interior Officer bowed his head and replied, "It's a distinguished member of the Wizards' Guild!"

Moreover, I noticed that he was promoted to a distinguished member, but only three years ago!

Preliminary guess is that he should have premeditated!

It's still checking over there at the headquarters of the Wizards Guild!"

The Grand Duke nodded and said, "All right, how to deal with this matter!"

A long time passed, and everyone was speechless, seeing that the Grand Duke was about to get angry.

The co-chancellor smiled and said, "This matter can be expected, in fact, with the financial resources of the Ninth Duchy, they will definitely not have enough financial resources to develop the western region.

Therefore, if it comes to a crisis, with the temper of the Duke of the Ninth Duchy, he will definitely make a big fuss about the finances of the Duchy.

When the time comes, the tax of the whole people in the Ninth Duchy will increase, and the people will definitely be miserable, if the west fails again.

When the time comes, I am afraid that the Ninth Duchy will be surrounded by displaced people and wars!

Don't forget, the closest to them are the elves, and if the elves take the chance......

We should be glad that, at the very least, we guarantee the stability of the nine principalities!"

The Grand Duke's brows furrowed, although this was unrealistic, but it was comfortable to listen to.

Isn't it just gold coins, no amount of gold coins can buy a stable Ninth Duchy.

The First Duchy, the headquarters of the Wizards' Guild, has its doors closed.

The gate is guarded by the knightly guards of the United Duchy.

Inside is the official of the Duchy of the United who is going through all the accounts, the magic front, skillfully operating in his hands.

On the magic screen, all trading instruments are displayed.

But in any case, the general's transaction records cannot be opened.

The operating official shook his head with a look at the knight leader.

The knight leader, drawing his sword, came to a corner of the hall.

In the corner are the staff of all the headquarters of the Magician Guild, and Xu Weitus-Jiang Yun is in Zheng

"Which of you is in charge here?"

Under the direct finger of the Cross Sword, an old man stepped forward.

The leader took the old man to the magic circle and ordered, "Open it!"

The old man wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the words of honor, and said with a sad face, "My lord, I don't have the authority to open this, I can't open it!"

The knight leader's eyes narrowed slightly, "Then who can open it?"

The old man secretly looked at Xu Wittus-Jiang Yun, and Xu Wittus-Jiang Yun turned his face away.

"Only the elders of the Wizards' Association can open it!"

The old man said.

The leader of the knights was about to threaten with the holy sword, but was spotted by the internal affairs officer who rushed to the door.

He hurriedly let go of the old man and saluted the internal affairs officer.

"See the Interior Minister!"

"What were you doing?" asked the Interior Officer as he approached the knight chief, with a serious expression.

"I, I'm asking him to open the general's transaction records!"

The knight chief didn't know what he had done wrong, and the tone of the interior officer was clearly not quite right.

The interior minister let out a sigh of relief and said, "Let you investigate, not let you be closed!"

Are you going to be in a cell, and remove the guards at the door!"

"Yes!"

The chief took the order, and the internal affairs officer came to the old man and said, "Tomorrow morning, let the president of your magician association come to me with all the records of this general!"

After the interior officer left, all the knights withdrew, and the officials of the United Duchy finally left the headquarters of the Wizards' Guild.

Xu Weitus-Jiang Yun stuck out her tongue, her face was frightened, she was just about to sneak away, but she was stopped by the old man.

"Eldest sister, where are you going?"

"Mr. Big, I'm just going around the door, where can I go!"

Xu Wittes-Jiang Yun argued.

The old man put his hands behind his back and said, "Sister Xu Weitus, look how much trouble you have caused!"

I'm still bothering you to go with me to the president, I don't think even Elder Xu Weitus can protect you from this matter!

What should others do, what should they do!

You come with me!"

The old man took Xu Wittus-Jiang Yun to his office, opened the teleportation magic array, and pushed Xu Wittus-Jiang Yun into his Zheng

The president of the Wizards Association lives in the ancient castle of the main city, and this ancient castle is the property of the Magicians Association, and all the elders also live in Qizheng

The chamber of the castle

In front of the president of the Wizards Association, the old man vomited bitterness.

"Elder, don't you know that the United Principality closed the headquarters building at that time and blew all the guests away, just because of her!"

Pointing at Xu Weitus-Jiang Yun, the old man was furious.

The president of the Magician Guild frowned and said, "Elder Xu Weitus, what should you do about this matter?"

Elder Xu Wei Tess glanced at Xu Wei Tus-Jiang Yun and said, "Deal with it as you want!"

The chairman frowned and spoke, "In that case, the elder will give me the general's information and transaction records, so that I can have an explanation with the internal affairs officer of the United Principality!"

As for Xu Weitus-Jiang Yun, let her come to the castle to do things, the work here is easy, and it's better than dealing with those magicians, what about you?"

Elder Xu Weitus gave a wisp of his beard and nodded.

After Xu Weitus-Jiang Yun and the head of the headquarters left the conference hall.

Elder Xu Weitus opened the general's information in front of the magic array.

"W-how is this possible?"

"So many 10,000-grade beast bones, where did he get them!"

"I think eighty percent of this transaction record is also forged!"

"His identity turned out to be fake! He still bought it from our Wizards Association, if this is known by the United Duchy, we will definitely finish playing!"

The elders present at the meeting could not sit still.

Only Xu Weites smiled slightly, "This person, this identity, is not simple!"

As for who he is, I don't know.

All I know is that these monster bones are the wealth of our Magicians Association!

As for who he is, then the United Principality is a thing!"

Elder Xu Weitus's words made all the elders ponder.

With so many demonic beast bones, the Magician Association has made a fortune, and for the sake of these beast bones, the elders will definitely choose to help this person cover up a thing or two.

"Yes, we'll give this information to the United Duchy. Judging by the current situation.

They won't believe it's true!"

"Yes, in this case, our suspicion will be completely ruled out.

They're going to turn their gaze to the staff at the Wizards' Guild headquarters!"

"Regarding the Demon Beast Bone, I think, should we redistribute it!"

Elder Xu Weitus smiled slightly, it is okay to divide it, but it is difficult to share it. His granddaughter can't be sacrificed.

"In this way, over there at the headquarters, I will find someone to take the blame!"

The meeting explored all the possible consequences, such a large gain, so that the people of the Wizards' Guild, excited, had long forgotten the wrath of the United Principality.

When the president of the Wizards' Association hands the transaction record to the Interior Minister of the United Duchy.

The internal affairs officer frowned, "The identity is fake, and the transaction records are written so nonsense!"

I'm stupid!

How does your Wizards' Association usually manage it, and there is even a matter of buying and selling identity certificates!

, you go back and check it out for me!

”

The president of the Wizards' Guild was scolded, and the interior minister sat down in his chair, closing his eyes and pondering.

With such a piece of information, even if it was put in front of the Grand Duke, he didn't dare to guarantee that the Duke would not scold him.

With heavy eyes, the Interior Officer came to the Grand Duke's Mansion and reported the record and identity to the Grand Duke.

The Grand Duke frowned and asked.

"As an internal affairs officer, what do you think? What kind of force will this general be?"

Facing the Grand Duke's questioning, the Interior Officer looked pensive and said.

"Most likely, it's the Noble Alliance!"

The Grand Duke's eyes narrowed slightly, which was the same as he thought.

In this way, even the identity certificate is solved with gold coins, which is the exclusive mark of the nobles.

Moreover, in a short period of time, to be able to come up with so many gold coins, no one can do it except for the noble alliance.

The Grand Duke smiled slightly and said, "Keep an eye on them, don't let them earn a penny in the Ninth Duchy!"

There is no public support for the Ninth Duchy, and it seems that they still have some scruples.

The Grand Duke has ten main cities and can do a lot of things, and this matter is an episode for him.

As long as the western granary, the United Principality can intervene, but the alliance of nobles will also squeeze them out.

His thoughts were exactly the same as the original thoughts of the Duke of the Ninth Duchy.

If the finances allow, the Duke of the Ninth Duchy will definitely not use a penny from the Noble Alliance.

The Ninth Duchy, the Western Wasteland, the first main city, the Provisional Duke's Palace.

The Duke was in the room, pacing back and forth, and he could not tell where the general's name came from.

But rashly gave a main city, or the center of the west, so that the duke regretted it a little afterwards.

Taking out the map, he couldn't help but be a little afraid, the center of the area is the main city he gave to the general for nothing, the east is ten, the nine main cities built by the Ninth Duchy, and the west, the ten main cities built by the United Duchy.

The main city, leased to the General, was just between the Ninth Duchy and the United Duchy.

This made the Duke of the Ninth Duchy frown, "This position was specially chosen for him.

Between the United Duchy and the Ninth Duchy, under the joint pressure, it is impossible for him to survive!"

In the center of the west, a main city stood alone, and even the knights guarding it didn't have cherry blossoms

Flashes of light flashed, which could accommodate tens of millions of Rao main cities, and in a short time, it was crowded with the soldiers of the First Navy of Arantis.

The general stood on the tower of the city, "Warriors, from here on, it will be our home!

Within a thousand miles, get rid of the weeds and plant the grain!"

"General, general, general!"

All the soldiers chanted.

The general waved his hand and said to Accord, "On the sea, just leave a little people!"

Accord, lead all the soldiers, clear the strong grass.

Unlike the captives, they used the attack circles on the battleship, and the speed of clearing was extremely fast.

"Beauna, take the elemental crystals and exchange them for the clothes and food that the soldiers need!"

At night, the main city in the center of the Western Wasteland is brightly lit. In addition to the places marked with the main city prison, the main city lord's mansion, the United Court station, and the knight station.

All the houses are occupied, and the streets are full of people.

Everyone wore new clothes, took off their bulky steel armor, and carried sacks of grain on their backs.

Outside the city, thousands of miles of wild grass were all cleared, and the good seeds were planted overnight.
