Chapter XXVI: Guerrillas and Merchants

This is the end of the confused adventure, and when the situation is stronger than people, it is the last word to decisively hold your head and squat and turn into a harmless cute, such as Lorraine, Jon and Melissa. As for whether the spiral passage exploded or not www.biquge.info they were not sure, because they only heard a faint sound and the ensuing ground trembling, and it didn't take long, and it was estimated that it was only possible that the ** underground ones exploded.

Now everything can only be expected Yuri, in Lorraine's pocket, in addition to treasure and a little gunpowder, the combat materials have been exhausted, and it can be said that the combat effectiveness has been sharply reduced. The long adventure and a stop to rest was really tiring, and even if the two companions were protected by the power of the gods, it was just as uncomfortable now, but he didn't sleep there with the wounded like Bishop Jon did.

Along the way, following these guerrillas everywhere, Lorraine was forbidden to cast spells, and could only rely on those little goblins to explore the surroundings, according to the military maps he had seen before, the vicinity was no longer near Transvania, and seemed to be on the seaside.

After about a day, there was a rotorcraft pick-up during the period, which really surprised Lorraine, it seems that the previous night raid, these bastards must have gotten it from the Royal Princess, it can be seen from the structure of these creations, they also have masters, but the structure is not very stable.

When they stopped, a dilapidated camp was revealed, and Yuri walked over and took the three of them to his convoy.

"Lorraine, Lorraine, why are you so unlucky every time I see you?"

"I'm wondering too, why are you here?"

"What's the reason, of course, it's to sell arms!" Yuri shrugged and pointed to the carriage behind him.

In fact, this is very easy to understand, although Suke's guerrillas have been fighting in their hometown for many years, but they are doomed to lack supplies without a stable base, and under the premise that they cannot make their own munitions, a dead merchant like Yuri is their best choice.

According to Lorraine's estimates, Yuri brought at least a thousand muskets and a large amount of gunpowder this time, and the already hot arms trade market is now more prosperous, and the guerrillas in the Korsaland Peninsula are notoriously hungry for weapons, and anyone who can pull in a batch of arms and sell them to the Near East Army may get twice the profit of the general area, but selling them to the guerrillas will definitely make more than three times the money, provided that they are not discovered by the prince's loyal dogs.

With the lure of so much profit, the guerrillas were able to attack the Near Eastern Army again and again, but it was a pity that these good men, who only knew how to attack the invaders with the barrel of a gun, knew nothing about governing the country, so that the recaptured lands and towns had to be managed by the Serans, and they invisibly handed everything over to others.

"Well, worthy of the Merchant of Death......"

"Well, I haven't asked you why you suddenly appeared on the scene of my trade with Suke, and you'd better give me a plausible explanation, or I won't have the confidence to take you out of the guerrilla territory.

"Actually, I'm here with these two, Bishop Jon and Paladin Melissa, you know that magic research requires a lot of money, but ......"

Lorraine told Yuri most of his adventures, especially the divine Bone Lich he encountered, and strangely the Merchant of Death was very interested in the treasure he found, but not much about the arrival of a legendary necromancer.

Actually, this is easy to explain, as a growing arms dealer, he definitely knows that such a big role can easily affect the balance of power in a region, but so what? The hotter the battlefield, the more his goods can be sold, of course, as an important piece of information, it is still necessary to find a good buyer to sell, and now Yuri and Lorraine do not realize what the arrival of the lich means, and they are destined to regret it in the future.

"Okay, okay, I'm not interested in lichs or anything, how many treasures have you found, let me take a look, give you an estimate?"

"It's okay, but if you can help find the target to shoot, I'll give you a percent."

"It's easy to say, look at the goods."

The two friends who hooked their shoulders began to look at the pile of treasures with a smile, and saw that Jon and Melissa had nothing to say, and soon the four of them argued loudly about the value of the treasures, and even fought so that they could get more when estimating.

After about a night, a sluggish Lorraine walked alone outside the tent to get some fresh air, holding a note full of estimates. Although the loot this time has shrunk a little, even Yuri's assessment can still be seen, and he really made about 100,000 gold coins, which is the profit after removing the cost, how can he not be happy.

Thinking of this, I naturally thought of my friends in Transvania, as well as my nominal girlfriend, I don't know how Princess Josephine is doing, and that bastard crown prince snatched the Royal Princess like that, and I don't know how long the airship can last without the supply of the energy community.

"You're Commander Lorraine?" A familiar voice appeared behind him, and he didn't expect that there was still someone in the guerrilla who knew his Lorraine, and when he looked back, he found that this guy seemed to be a missing employee of the engineering department.

"You're a member of the Royal Princess?"

"Yes, I didn't expect to meet you here, it's really fate."

It turned out that this guy had several other mechanics and pilots who had been captured by the enemy during the last night raid and ended up selling to Sooke's guerrillas for unknown reasons. It must be admitted that Suker, as the most hated guerrilla commander of the Near Eastern Army, had a very long-term vision, he was keenly aware of the great changes that airships and gyroplanes had to make in the war, and he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to hire these prisoners, and also purchased a considerable amount of materials from the Thrans to build his own rotorcraft troops, which had been transported by these people who had just completed the first batch of gyroplanes.

"I really didn't expect that you would be able to build a gyroplane on your own, but how did you solve the problem of energy?"

"Thanks to Commander Suke, he found a cherry blossom-colored ore that could be refined into a steady stream of magical energy through special crafting, and it would last for a very long time." The Engineer smiled, and pulled out a bit of ore scraps from his pocket, which Lorraine knew at a glance was the ore found in the secret warehouse of the castle of Flandencom.

"I didn't expect you to be the commander of the Seventh Legion, I think Mr. Engineer should be tired, let's go talk to the side?" Su Ke suddenly appeared here with the guards, looking at that, he must have been squatting here for a long time, Lorraine nodded, he didn't want to cause trouble for his former subordinates.

"What does Master Lorraine think of this place?"

"It's surprisingly quiet, and although the camp is a little shabby, you can see that you are trying to build a complete barracks and ......"

"And the factory, I think you've seen our results, and all of this is the beginning of you, a pioneer, and I thank you very much."

Lorraine paused for a moment, he could feel the sincerity of the other party, this guy was really telling the truth, he just didn't know when to let himself go.

Su Ke clearly sensed something, and said, "Are you thinking about when you can leave?" Unfortunately, even if I wanted to let you go now, it would not be possible for the time being. ”

"Why?" Lorraine couldn't help but ask.

"It's very simple, first of all, your crown prince, my sworn enemy 'Executioner' Baron, has just failed on the battlefield in the north of the Korsaland Peninsula, more than 13,000 Near Eastern Army and the same number of wounded, so he can only return to Transvania to defend the loss, and what is even more unfortunate is that his airboat force was completely wiped out by the Normans, and soon those northern barbarians will also have airships."

"This ......"

Lorraine had nothing to say, this time the Northern Campaign was too surprising, the originally dominant Near Eastern Army plus the newly created air boat troops, the strongest force on the peninsula deserved, but the Normans actually crossed the Rocky Mountains and launched a night attack from the rear of the crown prince's troops, and the night fierce battle caused countless casualties.

As for the airship unit, it's another matter entirely, the Royal Princess was originally flawed as a prototype, and the energy system relied on the energy community of Lorraine, but unfortunately the maintenance and control of the son of heaven for a long time eventually led to an air shutdown, and the first military airship in history only survived for less than half a year before it fell to pieces, not to mention the members on board, it must be completely destroyed.

Several other miniature versions of the airships were simply unlucky, with all kinds of problems, even the guns were blown up, and according to Suke's mockery, most of the Near Eastern Army used the materials and facilities of the Three-Headed Deer Company in their construction. In order to save money and resources, the tofu scum airship built can still fly and fight, and Lorraine feels that it is already worthy of the crown prince's expectations.

"As for the other reason why I can't let you go, I want you to join my unit for the time being."

"Why? Isn't this treason? ”

"Don't worry about that, as long as you can carry this time, you can leave at any time."

"Okay, tell me what the hell is it for?"

"Because the troops of the Nineteen Kingdoms of Thran have landed on the peninsula, we are about to go and fight them."

Yes, just a few days after the Normans defeated the Northern Campaign of the Near Eastern Army, the Thrans could not resist landing on the peninsula in an attempt to occupy this raw material field, and they who once admired covert control are now going to end up in a gladiatorial battle.

The Normans, St. Orlando, the Thrans, and the natives of Korsalan, the increasingly chaotic peninsula is about to usher in a new bloody war, not to mention that there is another force beyond the four, which is also ready to let the world know how powerful they are.
