Chapter Seventy-Seven: Traces of the Undead
Uther's voice gradually deepened, and he continued: "This is also what the old marshal analyzed in Talommir, and now it also confirms this opinion, the more we die, the more soldiers of the undead will be in the scourge. And we are no longer facing ordinary undead, but may have to face our former comrades in the next moment. ”
Brad frowned slightly and said, "I said it before, but I still don't understand what the general means. ”
A hint of unnaturalness flashed on Uther's face, and he took a deep breath of slightly dull air before saying, "You and I both know that because of the grudge between Lordaeron and the Jasper Lord, the Jasper Collar has carried out an economic boycott of Lordaeron, which has made Lordaeron always lag behind other territories and ......."
Hearing Uther say this, Brad's face changed. The faces of the others also stiffened a little, and they looked at Uther in confusion, not understanding why the atmosphere that had just eased was stiffened again. Now is the time to fight against the undead natural disaster, and I really don't know what kind of grudge to mention now. But thinking of Uther's stubborn character, whoever talks about him will inevitably be rebuked by him, and he always has his own set of stereotypes.
Onexia was not afraid of him, and said unhappily: "General Uther, please pay attention to your words, my master has never given an order to resist Lordaeron, and the Jasper Collar has not had this policy. To put it mildly, you don't know the current situation of the Jade Collar at all, if the master wants to use the economy to sanction Lordaeron, then I believe that you Lordaeron will be as comfortable as now. If you have crossed paths with the goblins, you should know that there are already two goblins under the jurisdiction of the goblin chaebol who are already in turmoil. The Prince of Trade has changed both. ”
Uther also frowned and said, "But in fact, the Jasper Collar has indeed imposed economic sanctions on us, and the merchants of the Jasper Collar will never sell their products to Lordaeron. Other realms also do not trade engineering items with us, which also makes us fall behind. As brave and resolute as my soldiers of Lordaeron may be, the absence of these machines is a great deterioration. I must admit that. Old marshal, you are indeed very remarkable, and you have changed the pattern of war more than once. ”
"Hmph, my master doesn't need you to wear a top hat." The Black Dragon Princess continued, "As for the two you mentioned, they have nothing to do with my master. Although the merchant you are talking about is a person with a jasper collar, the owner never intervenes in the market, and the merchant wants to sell something. To whom it is to be sold, it will not interfere. The merchants did not sell to the people of Lordaeron, it was entirely a matter for the merchants themselves. If you have to ask why the merchants hate Lordaeron, ask what you have done to the Jasper Collar. As for the other territories, why don't they sell those to you, because there was an agreement when the Jasper Territory sold machinery and technology to various races and territories ten years ago, and only the Jasper Territory has the right to sell these things. Any power or race buys machinery and technology from the Jasper Collar. If it is resold to another person, Jasper has the right to impose some measures on it, depending on the severity of the circumstances, such as stopping the supply, trading, and even sanctions. Although Lordaeron did not participate in the agreement, don't say you don't know what the agreement is. ”
Uther's face turned red, and he didn't know how to refute it, the truth of the grievances between Lordaeron and Jasper Collar had already been revealed, and the merits and demerits were already known to everyone. The old king did a bit too much. Even if Brad kills the old king, it will be the revenge of the micro-territory and his parents.
Because someone lists a whole bunch of numbers and evidence to prove it. Brad has long had the ability to take revenge, but for the sake of the overall situation, he has been forbearing, but the old king did some small actions in the back when Brad fought for the life and death of mankind, especially when he was deceived by the Black Dragon Prince and Deathwing to kidnap Brad's son, it was simply ......
Gianna, who had been silent at this time, also said: "The previous grievances and grievances, everyone knows in their hearts, and there is no need to pursue them at this time." I'll be fair, you said that the Jade Collar didn't sell the technology and machinery to Lordaeron, then I'll ask, didn't you also announce the method of how to tame the griffin, you know, the Jasper Collar only solved this problem last year, although there were griffins before, but they have not formed any combat effectiveness. ”
Arthas's face changed, and he said loudly: "Ridiculous, how can I betray the biggest secret and barrier of my Jasper Collar?" ”
Onexia smiled coldly and said, "That machinery and technology are also the secrets of my Jasper Collar, why should I sell them to you?" ”
"What a secret, joke. If it were your secret, you would kindly sell it to other territories, and see that your machinery and technology are obviously ahead of other territories, Gianna, you should know that last year, the Jasper Territory had already sold a largest steel warship in Azeroth, several times the size of the largest warship sold to you, nearly three hundred yards in length, tsk, why didn't they sell this kind of warship to you? Arthas continued.
Brad didn't bother to speak, and closed his eyes to recuperate. "You're even more of a joke, you Lordaeron don't seem to have ever come to Jasper Collar to buy these, and these are not like private sales, do you want us to go to Lordaeron and ask His Royal Highness the Prince if you can buy them?" Onexia said sarcastically.
This time, even Arthas was speechless, they really didn't initiate trade with the Jasper Collar, and the reason why the steel didn't hold back was because Gianna helped Brad speak and used strong words.
Gianna sighed before saying, "Let me explain the problem, the Jasper Collar did not sell backward technology to other territories. There has always been a saying in the Jasper Collar, that is, if you don't progress, you will regress, the reason is that the Jasper Collar is changing too fast, and the people in the Jasper Collar need to constantly master and adapt to new affairs. This kind of change is especially obvious in the mechanical, magical, and rune aspects, hesitating the convergence of the technologies of the two planes, and the change and pace are too fast. The group of people in the Jasper Collar believe that there is no limit to magic and engineering, there is nothing that cannot be done, only you can't think of it. Take this command vehicle as an example, as long as you pay attention, you will find that the command vehicle is much stronger now than it was ten years ago. ”
They didn't know much about this, and they all set their eyes on Mograini's body, because the command vehicle was Mograini's.
Mograini said without thinking: "But that's the case, I fell in love with this command car ten years ago, but ten years ago that command car was just a modification of an ordinary locomotive. I don't use it for a long time, I've changed it three times. Now this one is nothing from the outside, but his performance is much stronger than that of an ordinary military vehicle. If the speed bursts at full speed, it is twice as fast as a normal vehicle. In order to facilitate the command, a crystal amplification device was installed, and I can now give orders directly to the army instead of the guò herald. Farther away, there is a crystal hub, and the subordinates have supporting communication crystals, which can only contact the hub here, which is relatively much cheaper. ”
Mograini said as he took out a crystal that glowed with purple light, and said, "When you are in danger, you can activate a protective shield, and you can also fire an attack beam." The power can be equivalent to the attack strength of the Legendary Strongman, and the defense can resist the Legendary Strongman's attack three times. Ahem, there's also a virtual map device, but I think it's too energy-consuming, and it actually needs elemental essence, and I'm not as rich as the old marshal, so I haven't used it at all. ”
Gianna nodded with a smile and continued: "Now do you understand, the Jasper Collar has been updating various technologies, and the reason why the Jasper Collar is more advanced than other places is understandable, and new things are not stable, and selling them to others will cause bad consequences." Again, I'll reveal a little bit about it. I also participated in the construction of that mothership, in fact, there have been motherships for thousands of years, but there are too many problems, I know that it was only last year that it came out to sea, and a new mothership is still under construction. ”
Uther and Arthas were in a position to look at each other, and they did not know this. Arthas even forgot to be angry, looking at the virtual map that Mograini activated the crystal and appeared in front of them, they really didn't know what to say.
Brad sighed slightly, opened his eyes and said: "There is no point in saying this, I believe that General Uther does not mean this either, what is your purpose, say it." ”
Uther stood up and slowly bowed to Brad, bowed his head and said in a low voice: "My purpose is very simple, it is to sell us mechanical and engineering weapons, although I know that I will make you very unhappy by doing this, and I have no face, but for the sake of those innocent soldiers, for the sake of the people of Lordaeron, even if I beg you." ”
There was silence again in the command car, and everyone looked at Brad.
Brad was about to answer, when the crystal of the command vehicle shone brightly, and a voice came: "Report to the general, the undead have been found ahead, and again, the traces of the undead have been found in the front, and the report is complete." ”…… (To be continued......)
