"Very well, next question, who is more powerful than our Sphinx Eagle or the rebel Giant Eagle?" Baron Hurd then asked.

"Giant eagles are mostly produced on the islands off the coast of the North Bay, and the southern deserts are rare, and generally speaking, they are not as powerful as the Sphinx-Faced Beasts," replied Master Gao De, who was proficient in domesticating birds of prey, "According to my experience, one Sphin-like Hippogriff can defeat at least two giant eagles. ”

"According to Master Gaode's calculations, we only need to send fifty phinxes to easily wipe out the rebel giant eagle unit, and the remaining fifty-four phinxes will not be a problem to deal with one airship, I don't know what you people are panicking about." Baron Hurd looked at the plantation owner with a hint of contempt in his eyes, "Now if you have anything to worry about, you can bring it up to your face." ”

There was a round of exchange of words around the table, and someone raised his voice and said, "Captain Seth, you are from the Crimson Tribe, and you should be no stranger to the famous 'Red Widow', right?" ”

"Lady Jenna is our patriarch, and of course I recognize her." The half-scorpion replied quietly.

"The 'Red Widow' is not only the patriarch of the Half-Scorpion tribe, but also one of the four great Kou in Southern Xinjiang and the leader of the 'Scarlet Regiment'.

"I never assume things that haven't happened yet, I just focus on doing the job at hand." The half-scorpion said coldly, "If you feel the need to ask Lady Jenna to send troops, you can bring gold, silver and jewels to the desert to invite her, it has nothing to do with me. ”

The man touched a nail and sat back down.

"Master Gaode, I have a question for you," someone questioned again, "you are a druid, and Sand Rose from Sweetwater is also a druid, and Sand Rose has now joined the rebel party from the Fort of Atonement, if there is a conflict between us and the enemy, you should not show mercy to Sand Rose's men, right?" ”

"You're worried about this kind of thing just because you know too little about the druids." Master Gaude replied mercilessly, "The Druids are a transcendent profession that admires the ways of nature, but not all Druids are like brothers and sisters, in fact, the Druid faith is divided into different schools, and there are many societies with different ideas, I came from a society that follows the principles of the classical Druids, while Sand Rose comes from the heretical society 'Harvest Ring', which is gradually degrading under the leadership of Valentina, colluding with the magnates of the Kingdom of Kolas, and the so-called '' that the authorities in the Far East are promoting Instead of standing up to resist and compromising with them, it can be seen that they are ashamed of the gift of Mother Nature and have completely lost the spiritual belief of the druids, and I hate these traitors, how can I show mercy. ”

Master Gao De snorted coldly, and then said: "If my faith is the criterion, it is not a glorious thing to capture wild sphin-like beasts and domesticate them, just as you manor owners forced slaves to labor are all against the laws of nature, but compared to it, the vain attempt to use magic machines instead of manpower to cultivate farmland and destroy the jungle to forcibly build roads is even more shameful!" I didn't want to see the horror of factories and machines roaring all over southern Xinjiang, so I chose to accept the hired hire of Lord Hurd to come to Mochizuki City to help him train an aerial force to stop the Kolas government from destroying the pristine natural environment of southern Xinjiang. ”

"What Master Gao De said is so good!" Baron Hurd applauded, "The traitors always stand on the mountain of morality and criticize us for exploiting slaves, but this system is a tradition that we have followed in southern Xinjiang for thousands of years, and abolishing slavery is tantamount to destroying our traditions, discriminating against our customs, depriving us of our property, and destroying our social order!" If we do not want to lose all these precious things, we must unite to fight the rebels and defend our homeland and freedom with iron and blood! ”

Baron Hurd's impassioned declaration won a round of applause, but he immediately changed his words and said with a smile: "There is always a price to be paid for struggle, you must not want to fight in person, in order to keep the current stable life, we can only pay to recruit mercenaries to defend our homeland for us, I have done my duty, but there is still a big gap in military spending, and the next thing is to rely on your generosity." ”

The owners of the manor heard the meaning of his words, and they all showed bitterness on their faces, and scolded this scoundrel in their hearts, but they did not refuse his blackmail in front of him, and pretended to be deaf and dumb in an attempt to get by.

"You don't have to be stingy on matters related to your worth and your life, do you?" Baron Hurd's face sank, and he said coldly: "If a person is alive, he can still make money without money, and if he dies, leaving gold and silver will only cheapen others, why can't you understand such a simple truth?" ”

Of course, the wealthy people of Mochizuki City understand this truth, but who knows how much of their donations are spent on the blade, and how much is enriched by Baron Hurd, the person who handled it? When it comes to incorruptibility, Baron Hurd is not an exemplary example, and it is true to say that he is a negative example.

The restaurant was silent, and the atmosphere became unusually awkward. Baron Hurd observed the change in everyone's expressions and suddenly laughed.

"Do you think that I am extorting your money and putting it in my own pocket under the pretext of raising military funds?"

Everyone hurriedly shook their heads in denial, but what they thought in their hearts was another matter.

Baron Hurd sat back in his armchair, shook his head, and said with hatred: "You people, you are too short-sighted, I am a dignified imperial baron, how can I care about your little money?" To tell you the truth, I have reached a secret agreement with Prince Mayer Soul Blader Rosenthal, the governor of Medes, that if the rebels of the Fort of Atonement try to expand their influence in the southern frontier, I will publicly declare independence in the name of the lord of southern Xinjiang and accept the protection of the marquis of Canaan, and Prince Mayer will also send troops to Mochizuki City in the name of maintaining border security to prevent the rebels from going south, and then the southern Xinjiang issue will evolve into a dispute between the Far East and Canaan, and the royal family of Zion in Bethlehem will not easily give up a client state with a land of 400,000 kilometers. How dare the rebels offend the Canaanites? In the end, it is not necessary to obediently withdraw from southern Xinjiang, acquiesce in our independence, and become a buffer zone between the Far East and Canaan, at that point, we might as well ease relations with the rebel party, and between the Far East and Canaan, wouldn't we be more at ease than now! ”

When the owners of the manor heard Baron Hurd's words, they were all shocked by his ambition, and they fell silent for a while.

Baron Hurd saw the horror in everyone's eyes, smiled and said: "If you want to achieve this goal, of course, you can't do without money, His Royal Highness the Prince of Medes has a lot of appetite, you have a little more blood now, and after the independence of Southern Xinjiang, you will definitely get ten times the reward, and the title and fief are easy to discuss!" ”
