The test flight of Noah's airship was a success, but no one on board the airship could be happy! The airship was originally intended for transportation, but the data showed that it could only transport a few tons at a time, and it was also affected by various weather conditions, which was negligible for the needs of Marishinlai.

The airship slowly landed on the only flat ground opened up by Marishin, and along with it, eighteen female elves on Pegasus!

Pantony instructed the dwarves to connect the airship to the ground with ropes, and Nicole slowly extinguished the fire, and then the group walked down the ladder to the airship's basket, and everyone quickly evacuated.

The airship airbag, which had lost its heat source, slowly contracted and landed, like a huge umbrella, covering the entire Marichen square, and then the dwarves stepped forward to put away the entire behemoth.

"How?" Seeing that Blue Fairy, Daniel, Nicole, and Noah seemed very upset, Benjamin, who came to greet him, seemed to be anxious and asked.

Lan Xian'er shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that we will find another way to exchange jewelry for gold coins!" ”

Benjamin's face sank and he was silent, he had been recuperating from his injuries in Marishen for the past few months, in fact, his injuries had long been healed under Marisa's careful care, but in order to solve Marishen's financial problems, he had already been emaciated.

Blue Fairy gave Benjamin a total of five million jewelry deposits from the storage ring, but this amount of money was a drop in the bucket for Benjamin. It cost more than 1 million yuan to build 5,000 sets of dwarven warriors' full body equipment, and more than 2 million yuan to build the Marishen base camp, plus tens of thousands of people's food and clothing for several months, and the dwarves' wages and various military salaries have already exceeded 10 million. If it weren't for the large amount of gold coins used for wine from the dwarves, it is estimated that Marishin's finances would have collapsed long ago.

The towns near Malishin were originally economically underdeveloped, and the rise of Marishen and the purchase of a large number of surrounding materials led to the soaring prices of food, materials, and minerals in the surrounding areas.

"Go back and talk!" Lan Xian'er couldn't bear to say when she saw Benjamin, who was worried.

……

In the conference hall, Benjamin convened a caucus of several leaders in Marishin, Pantony, Da Kemal, Marisa, Kavanagh and other members of the Forest Nation camp, as well as Blue Fairy, Nicole and Daniel, Noah is now so obsessed with his own research that he has no intention of attending this kind of meeting that is simply boring for him.

"It's been nearly ten months since Auguston and Lanariddh rebelled, and now the Forest Country has already become a mess!" Benjamin said, "The forces of the Seventh Prince Hofton and the Eleventh Prince Saradoza have joined forces to deal with Auguston, and the civil war in the Forest Country has reached the most critical time!" As you all know, the strength of this king is the weakest, so he has been holding back, in order to be able to do nothing, a blockbuster effect, we are dormant in Marishen, do not dare to have military contact with the outside world! Marishen now has more than 3,000 elven phantom archers, 5,000 dwarven warriors, plus 800 Pegasus cavalry in Magic Spring Villa, this is our current military strength.

"These troops, together with the more than 30,000 inhabitants of the Marishin base camp, have exhausted the resources in the vicinity, and the nearby towns and villages have become overwhelmed and cannot supply our entire Marishin army and civilians. Therefore, this king wants you to prepare to send troops, and in a month, gather all the phantom shooters to discuss the counterinsurgency plan! ”

Pan Dongni was in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, we have endured it for so long, and it is difficult to send troops in such a hurry, I am afraid it will be difficult to have the effect of a surprise army!" Why can't we wait until Auguston and they are both defeated, and then we can do it? At present, many armaments have not been completed, the training of the dwarven warrior army has only been a few months, the equipment has not been fully arranged, and the military salaries and rations have not yet been settled. Does Your Majesty have any specific plans? ”

Benjamin shook his head, and then said, "This king also wants to sharpen his sword before going on the expedition, but does Marishin's current situation allow us to do so?" While we still have some supplies and rations, we can still make a difference. ”

Pantony was really anxious, and said loudly to Lan Xian'er and Nicole: "Lady Lan Xian'er, Princess Nicole, didn't you promise to buy jewelry, what about the money, you promised well, why can't you see a single gold coin now, do you have the sincerity to buy?" ”

Lan Xian'er said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty wants to take our army, and there is no need to let General Pantoni go out!" The reality is that you know that you promised to buy your jewelry, but you didn't expect this to be the case with Marishon! It's you who want gold coins, it's you who want to sell jewelry, you don't want to do it yourself, you always want us to take risks, I even paid the deposit, but you say that we don't have the sincerity to buy, it's ridiculous! Okay, let's buy it, you ship the jewelry to Fuxing City, and we'll pay for it immediately! ”

"General Pantony!" Benjamin hurriedly said, "They have already done a lot of things for us, how can you talk like that?" ”

Lan Xian'er said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the summer has not yet passed, and the entire jungle has not yet reached the harvest season, it is the time when the green and yellow are not harvested, and the enemy forces are also flourishing, Your Majesty proposed to send troops at this time, just to force us to give Your Majesty the money!" Your Majesty doesn't need this, in fact, Nicole and I have been thinking of a way, under the current conditions, the jewelry trade is impossible to achieve! It's not like there's no way we can get the money to Marishin, but it's a big risk, and we can't get the jewelry out for the time being. His Majesty said that we will find a way to find a way to find out how much money is needed for the shortage of funds now! ”

Benjamin's eyes lit up and he laughed, "Hahaha! This king knows that nothing can stump you! Okay, let's make it clear, if you send troops to quell the rebellion after half a year, this king will need at least 20 million funds in the early stage, and after sending troops, at least 50 million will be needed in the follow-up, do you have any way to help this king transport it? ”

Nicole said very unhappily: "Your Majesty just wants us to send the money in a few words, is it that simple?" ”

"Oh? What conditions do you have, just mention it! Benjamin said.

"Your Majesty sent troops to quell the rebellion, what should I do if I lose?" Nicole asked.

Marissa said in an atmosphere: "Princess Nicole, you haven't sent troops yet, why don't you say the winner first!" ”

Nicole ignored Marisa, but her eyes looked at Benjamin, waiting for his answer.

Benjamin also seemed unhappy: "What do you say if you win, and what do you say if you lose?" ”

Nicole laughed and said, "If Your Majesty loses, we will lose all our money!" So, if Your Majesty wins, is it as simple as paying back the money? If so, why would we do such a boring thing? Tens of millions is not a small number for any force, does Your Majesty feel that we are very obliged to take risks for Your Majesty's great cause of recovery? ”

"This king never said that you are obliged to pay the price for the recovery of the forest country!" Benjamin seemed to hear Nicole's meaning, and said, "Princess Nicole doesn't have to beat around the bush, of course, if she loses, she doesn't have to say anything, just say, if this king wins, do you want money, land or soldiers?" ”

Lan Xian'er said: "No matter how much money Your Majesty wants, we can provide it, as long as Your Majesty pays the interest!" The funds we have given to Your Majesty must be repaid within three years after the end of the war, with an interest of forty per cent per annum! ”

"Forty percent?" Benjamin gasped, and then said angrily: "No, even if this king wins the war, the forest country will still be rebuilt, and a lot of financial support is needed, and this king can't ignore the people's livelihood in the forest country!" ”

Lan Xian'er and Nicole are not talking, these two shrewd women know very well that the bargaining time begins, at this time, which side speaks first will be passive. Now it is Benjamin who needs the money, and the two of them are not in a hurry at all, Benjamin is destined to be the passive party.

There was silence in the meeting room, and no one spoke. Benjamin is well aware that the financial support offered by the other party is tempting, but the price he bears is also very large.

It was Lan Xian'er who spoke first, and Lan Xian'er got up and said, "Since Your Majesty insists on sending troops now, we have no way to dissuade us. Your Majesty only wants this money to be used in vain, but you don't want us to take much risk in order to raise this money, in order to transport hundreds of truckloads of gold coins from Fuxing City and Alchemy Country here, in addition, before the victory or defeat is decided, you dare to lend money to Your Majesty, Your Majesty is so hesitant, it is really unbelievable! If Your Majesty needs to discuss it with his subordinates, we will retire first! ”

After Lan Xian'er finished speaking, she left the table and walked out of the door of the conference hall with Nicole and Daniel!

"Wait a minute!" Benjamin laughed, "I have to admire you two women, hahaha!" Okay, I agree to your conditions, but the interest must be reduced to thirty percent per year, otherwise, the forest country will not be able to afford it, and in a month, I will see at least twenty million gold coins in Marishin! ”

"It's not impossible for His Majesty to give this interest!" Lan Xian'er turned around and said, "Reduced to thirty percent, Your Majesty must promise me a condition!" ”

"Huh?"

"The ore I need is in the territory of the former Forest Country, which is now the area controlled by the Druids! We will help Your Majesty put down the rebellion of Auguston, and, after that, the Fifth Legion will form an alliance with Your Majesty and send troops to the Druids to help Your Majesty recover all the territory of the Forest Country, we have no need for territory, so the territory obtained belongs to Your Majesty, and all I want is my mine! The person who benefited the most from the whole proposal was His Majesty, and it was His Majesty who took the least risk, and we were forced to tie it to His Majesty's chariot and go all out to help His Majesty win the war, because if Your Majesty loses, it is us who will suffer the most! ”

"What about 20 million gold coins in a month?" Benjamin is most concerned about the current predicament.

"There is no problem with this money, but I need General Pantony to cooperate with me!" Lan Xian'er said, "I will explain the specific arrangements to Pan Dongni!" ”

Pantony was surprised: "Me? ……”
