Chapter 13 The so-called Pearl of the Peninsula
Long before going to the Korsaland Peninsula, Lorraine made a special inquiry about this rich region, although the annual war must bring people to the poor, but there is only one place that definitely makes people yearn for it, and that is Transvania, the pearl of the peninsula. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
As the home of the Imperial Crown Prince of San Orlando, it has been built over the years to become the economic and industrial center of the region, and the historical monuments have attracted a large number of archaeologists, which is definitely a very magical and lively world.
"Alas...... After all this history, is this the tattered picture of Transvania in the end? "Morale
Lorraine and the others, who set off first in the airship, looked at the decadent and dilapidated scenery below the airship, and did not feel the slightest vitality of the foreign regional center at all, although the soldiers of the first wing were a little dissatisfied and did not make a loud noise, but the others did not have such good qualities, and directly laughed loudly and lamented their bad luck there, which inexplicably made the morale of the entire airship drop significantly.
The so-called Pearl of the Peninsula has actually disappeared after years of oppression and slow economic growth, and as the base camp of the Near Eastern Army, it has long been transformed into a strong military fortress, and the port stretching to the coast is only scattered with merchant ships unloading cargo, most of which are still military supplies, and the inhabitants of the city are wandering around weakly looking for work, most of whom according to General Durant still have to work with the military engineering troops.
"They say they have work to do, but in fact, when the enemy doesn't want to come at all."
"What is the reason for this?"
"It's not all the military tickets printed by the old men of the logistics department who are in trouble!"
Lorraine suddenly realized that at first the circulation of military tickets was due to the people's trust in the imperial military power, and it was completely expected that once the crown prince's army arrived, the mob would not be wiped out in an instant, and the problem was that the damned wolf Suke, who defected at the critical moment and then turned into a hundred miles, gathered a large number of militia and raided the rear of the Near Eastern Army.
Even so, the crown prince still wiped out all the legions secretly sent by the Serans, and the Norman special team tried to assassinate him without success, but lost many good players, including the existence of legendary professionals.
However, logistical problems still made the Near Eastern Army suffer, and it barely achieved superficial unification, but it was really powerless to deal with those towns at the grassroots level.
In this way, although the first batch of military tickets was said to have been cashed on the surface, the lost logistical materials still had to be bought with money, and they could only continue to be printed and the people also vigorously bought, but unfortunately they conquered the enemy countless times, and the army rebelled as soon as it left, and after going back and forth more than a dozen times, the military tickets were completely abolished -- the army had no money, and the Indian military tickets then crusaded against the rebellion, and after leaving, the rebellion broke out again.
In such a cycle, no matter how much the people admit that the crown prince's strength is invincible, the money in his pocket is really squeezed out and there is nothing he can do.
The war every year has left almost no room for the circulation of goods, and the vast majority of commercial activities are controlled by the logistics department, and the vigorous strengthening of heavy industry and military construction has directly led to the decline of light industry, making the current Near Eastern military empty but without money, which is really sad.
Fortunately, Lorraine and they came with supplies, and the Royal Princess could have stopped directly at the airport to start unloading, but unfortunately as an epoch-making military airship, there is no place for them to land now, if it is parked in the sea, then it is necessary to keep the engine and the magic circle on, otherwise the seriously overloaded Royal Princess will definitely sink like a stone, and no one will be able to fish it out at that time.
As a last resort, they once again put on the battle suits that could easily be mistaken for girls, and with the help of other battlemages who took to the air, they had to build another airport on their own.
Fortunately, the soldiers of the Seventh Legion and the men mobilized by the Near East Army worked together as coolies, and in the midst of a shout, an industrial miracle belonging to the Age of Magic appeared, although the name is a little strange, but it should be an industrial miracle to be able to build a strange-looking airport with berths and unloading platforms.
Of course, the time will definitely not be completed in one day, and the project that barely makes the mages tired of lying down will not be able to go on at the berth, so they can only take their time in the later stage, holding their own princess, and the gyroplane temporarily acts as a carrier aircraft to start unloading, so that Lorraine has the opportunity to stand on the ground and look at Transvania in front of him.
The team that came out to greet them, those soldiers didn't look very well-dressed, but their eyes were very firm, they looked very combative, and the weapons in their hands were different from the old-fashioned rifles in China, probably new guns purchased by themselves; Metal melee weapons with local characteristics, painted with different kinds of patterns, these seem to be the equipment of the vassal army, and the armor of various thicknesses gives the feeling of going back to the Middle Ages, that is, there is not much magic element presence.
In addition, the laborers, all of them are ragged, a little money can also buy a passable coarse cloth clothes, more poor people have to **** the upper body to help work, even if the airport construction has the help of magic, it is also a large-scale project, and after a while, these people will be dusty, and if it rains, it will be ironclad and mud monkeys.
When they just passed, they all looked expressionless, the indigenous people couldn't understand a word of Kolsalan, the Near Eastern Army was also infected with the local accent, and it took a lot of effort to listen to understand what they were saying, and what was even more irritating was that even if there were officers who scolded them, they were also a little afraid of the huge Royal Princess, obviously they were just searching for transport ships and didn't have any knowledge of this, if no one was watching, they would definitely run away.
General Durant originally wanted to have a beautiful welcome ceremony, so that the domestic reinforcements and Her Royal Highness the princess could enjoy the demeanor of the Near East Army and Transvania, but unfortunately he didn't expect the speed of the airship and the extremely slow work speed of his colleagues, and suddenly a black face became very ugly, almost red in black, and he whispered to a few officers, and within a few minutes, he completely broke out, directly opened his throat and shouted loudly over there, and scolded the officials in those vassal armies by the way.
The vassal army didn't react much, nodding and huffing there, Uri Wola said a lot of nonsense that he didn't understand, and from General Durant's face, he could see that the other party was very rude? That's probably what it looks like, but seeing that Ireen has already used clever words to communicate with the locals, she looks at herself with contempt by the way, as if she wonders how there can be such a dull mage.
"Alas, this unfortunate day has not yet come to an end, General Durant, can we go into the city to rest when we are behind? When will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince return? ”
"Ah, don't worry, I've already ordered you to have a good rest today, and Your Highness will be back in about three days on a griffin." General Durant, who was sweating profusely, left the hateful locals behind and said with a smile on his face.
"Then let's go into the city now, Her Royal Highness Princess Josephine, Captain Taylor, and all your colleagues, the military band, and the music!" With some pitch-shifting music, the crowd slowly walked through the gates of Transvania, where more events awaited them.
