Chapter 142: Acquisition (350 Ordered)
Lionheart, Silver City.
At sunset, a white carrier pigeon fluttered and landed on the windowsill, with a piece of letter paper tied to its feet.
After a while, the old lion man took the note from the carrier pigeon and brought the contents of the letter to the earl's ears.
"Lord Earl, the army that is crusading against Tomorrow Town is going well, and now that Tomorrow Town has been taken, it will be escorted back to Silver City with important prisoners after a while."
At this time, the earl was in the fencing field, competing with another noble knight in swordsmanship, and the two of them held large heavy swords to each other, running like the wind, and every time they raised their hands, they would kick up a huge puff of dust.
It was only after the two of them had fought profusely that the Earl gave up and read the pigeon's letter with the help of the cat-eared maid wiping the sweat.
……
Intramuros.
The royal family received the news of the carrier pigeon a day late, and when they learned that the noble army had recaptured Tomorrow Town, they immediately informed the whole city, making most of the orcs feel a faint joy.
"The anti-lions are not to be feared." The proud lions held their heads up and came to such a conclusion.
When the cat-eared assassins who settled in the royal city heard the news, they were all stunned, and they didn't expect that Tomorrow Town would be defeated.
Thinking that the town of tomorrow is gone, the cat's ears are lowered, and their faces are extremely low.
A minute later, however, another carrier pigeon sent diametrically opposed information.
"Tomorrow Town has won a big victory, don't worry, continue to guide the spread of fake news......"
Seeing this news, the cat-eared assassins let go of the big strings in their hearts.
"I'll just say, how can Tomorrow Town be defeated, you must know that when I left, the musket had already been invented to more than a hundred shots. By the time the enemy gathered his army to attack, two hundred and forty flintlock muskets had been made. The low cat's tail suddenly stood up and wagged from side to side.
"More than a hundred flintlock pistols are nothing, but the army of people is more than 4,300 people. The flintlock pistol is controlled by the Awakened, which can improve the accuracy, but no matter how accurate it is, it can't shoot at 300 meters like Allen, at most more than 100 meters in the body, 70 meters in the headshot, more than 4,000 people in the whole army charge, it will definitely be able to break the formation. ”
The cat-eared orcs have heard the story of the Three Kingdoms of the Orcs told by Allen, and they are quite familiar with the offensive methods of war.
"Tomorrow has walls, and anything is possible on the battlefield...... This is what Eren told me temporarily, so we have to trust Tomorrowtown. ”
Nancy's cat ears moved slightly, and she suddenly remembered what Alan had said, and the calm expression on Allen's face that was not afraid of everything, gradually infected her.
"Okay, don't talk about it, come with me to spread false news."
The cat-eared girl shook the cat's ears, turned around and grabbed the small dagger, and left here.
Half an hour later, the news of the defeat of Tomorrow Town spread throughout the royal city.
In the evening, white smoke rose from the countryside attached to Wangcheng, and the old peasants went home and heard the relevant news, knowing that the anti-lion faction Tomorrow Town had been defeated by the kingdom and was currently being captured by the kingdom's army, preparing to rebuild the mining village.
Tonight the whole city was filled with the joy of victory, and some of the nobles who had not been able to participate in the partition were jealous, and at the family dinner, they slapped the table and roared loudly at their clansmen, why they had not sent a squad to join the attack.
It's not always a good thing to make money like this, and this crusade against Tomorrow Town is half risky, so that many nobles don't dare to start.
Because the sailboat carrying 300 people in Morning Glory Town went south last time and was directly intercepted, many nobles knew that the combat power of Tomorrow Town was not ordinary, and they were not optimistic about this battle, and it was estimated that the private army composed of nobles would be stalemate.
The only situation that was not considered was the defeat of Tomorrowtown, which the nobles did not expect.
……
Tomorrowtown, the Lord's Office.
Allen is working on the second half of his junior high school chemistry textbook, filling in the various molecular formulas and chemical equations used in it.
Writing a book is a very tiring job, at least Alan doesn't write books all the time, he only takes some time to write books every day, and he rests when he is tired of writing.
This is not the information age, but the age of handwriting, and the current textbooks in Tomorrowtown need to be handwritten by Alan himself and then sent to the printing house for printing.
However, a condensed version of the textbook requires more than 100,000 words, so it takes Alan a lot of time to write each copy.
The previous textbooks were all semi-finished products, and now they are being further improved.
There was a crisp, slow knock on the door.
"Please come in." Without looking up, Alan wrote down a series of equations for the reaction between carbon and metal.
The door opened, bright powder-blue hair entered the room, and Windsor wagged her happy cat tail as she delivered a crumpled piece of stationery to Allen's desk.
Alan put down his pen and looked up to see Windsor and grinned, "Master Ellen, King Lionheart hasn't moved his troops yet, and he's still waiting for the Templars to return in triumph." ”
"Yes, keep delaying the time, the longer the better." Alan was also very happy to hear the news, and looked back and forth several times on the letter in his hand.
As the news of Tomorrow's defeat spread throughout the small villages and towns, martial law has now been lifted in Tomorrowtown, and Tomorrowtown is ostensibly an official force belonging to the Lionheart Nation.
Therefore, the orcs of Tomorrow Town openly hoisted the national flag and brazenly introduced food and minerals from all over the country.
At the same time as the introduction of Tomorrowtown, the export volume of Tomorrow Town also increased greatly, and under the name of the nobles of Anderson of Saltpeter Town, a large number of cloth were sold at a price 20 percent below the market price.
There is also a large number of single-shaped transparent glasses recently released by the Anderson family, each cup of ten gold dragons, causing the nobles to rush and collect countless gold coins.
For a while, the nobles of the rest of the towns were red-eyed.
This is the benefit of sharing the cake, the aristocratic private soldiers entered the town of tomorrow, beheaded the person in power, Allen, and directly grabbed the textile factory of the family in the hands of the clan, dumped a large amount, and the business was very prosperous.
The strange thing is that the iron ore business has been closed, and it has not been sold, but has increased the purchase of iron ore and the rest of the ore from other towns and shipped them to Tomorrow Town.
Tomorrowtown's doing this will undoubtedly expose the lie quickly, but Alan said it doesn't matter.
The two thousand lions became a reliable labor force, and the gunpowder factory, the bullet factory, and the gun-making workshop produced a huge increase, and now produced eighty guns a week, and three hundred and twenty flintlock pistols on all sides.
These lion soldier captives are not all sent to firearms-related factories, mining is a hard need, not only steel mills and ironworks need mines, but also cement factories need mines, and mining labor is always in shortage.
"By the way, our large supermarket in Tomorrow Town is ready to be built in the near future, you go to the Ministry of Commerce, let them attract foreign businessmen to bring resources into the market for investment, vegetables, pigs, fish, etc., they can invest, but the rice can only be purchased by us, and they are not allowed to sell on the shelves." Alan writes a new decree on a piece of paper.
"But Master Allen, we don't have the money to buy rice in Tomorrow Town, and it costs eight-tenths of the money just to introduce minerals from other places."
Windsor showed a painful expression, and in the morning she flipped through the bill of the finance department, and found that the expenses of Tomorrow Town were extremely large, and the most profitable glass business and cloth business could not make up for the expenses at all, so that the total daily income of Tomorrow Town had been in a negative number.
