"Your Royal Highness Princess, the city of the green-clothed people is about to be."

"Hmm."

By the time the Aha Empire's envoys arrived at their destination, it had been four days since they met the Centaur Border Patrol.

Even from the last city in the desert, it took them half a month to walk, but it is said that the helicopter of the Green Man flew from the deepest part of the mountain where the Blood Clan was located to the outskirts of the capital of the Aha Empire in just a few hours.

Even the most powerful Dharma Saint could not have flown so fast. Maybe the powerhouses of the winged race can do it, but it is said that the speed and carrying capacity of the "fixed-wing aircraft" that the green-clad people really use to carry passengers and transport passengers are incomparable to the "spirary-wing aircraft".

The leader of the green-clad men with reflective glasses has said that he wants to build roads, railways, and airports within the Aha Empire in order to speed up the movement of people and goods. The project funds can be raised by the Aha Empire itself, or the Green Man can lend money to the Aha Empire.

The Green-Clothed Man was even willing to bring his own dry food to help the Aha Empire build roads, as long as they obtained the right to collect road tolls for a few years.

This kind of good deeds sent to the door made many powerful people more interested in the people in green, but both the emperor and the princess knew that some stupid and insatiable guys were fighting to let the people in green pay for the construction of the roads and airports first, and then decide whether to really give the right to road tolls for a number of years to the people in green depending on the amount of toll income.

If the toll makes them jealous, they may not rob it openly, but they will use various methods to "persuade" the people in green to take the initiative to partner with them, and even sell the toll rights to them at a very low price.

Because of the desertification of the land, the Aha Empire had to pay more and more attention to commerce, and of course introduced many laws to protect commerce and merchants, but even the law could not stop this kind of "voluntary" unreasonable trade between the two parties.

The misappropriation of the property of ordinary businessmen by the powerful will of course discourage many people who want to engage in business. But fortunately, smart, greedy, and ambitious people will always appear, and some of them will be swallowed whole by the powerful, and some of them will survive the mouths of the powerful, and they will be persuaded to make them the toilers who produce, seek, and serve food, and the powerful only need to open their mouths.

Merchants who know they might be eaten but dare to deal with some ill-known magnates are not fools, and like scavenging birds dancing between the teeth of the beasts, they live on the shredded flesh between the teeth of the beasts and the leftover remains of the beasts.

However, what makes people smarter than birds is that they will also make full use of the power and even notoriety of the powerful to extract oil and water from weaker and weaker kinds, so they eat much fatter than scavenging birds.

Agatha, who often goes deep into the folk? Princess Aha knows better than other nobles the cowardly and murderous sides of those merchants, and the whole country of the Green Man seems to be a merchant country that is keen to do business, so will this merchant country always be as kind and easy to talk as he is so far?

The princess and the emperor, as well as the people of insight in the court, did not think so.

The first thing the green-clad men did when they met was to declare friendship, and the second thing they did was to show force, but some of them had unprovoked optimistic speculation that the other party was just bluffing, otherwise why didn't they just conquer the land with that powerful weapon and get whatever they wanted for free.

Many countries have this attitude towards small countries that can take what they want, and they will not be willing to pay honest tribute and destroy them casually, and they will not seek any equal and mutually beneficial trade relations at all. But Agatha suddenly felt that if she did what the man in green said, she might get more, although she couldn't get anything for free.

- Assuming that the Greens are really powerful, have plenty of soldiers and weapons, and can easily conquer the lands they want at any time, why don't they choose unilateral plunder, but instead choose trade that is profitable for both sides?

The men in green are certainly not fools, which means that they are sure that they can get more by doing so, even if it is not as good as plundering in the short term, and they will get more in a few years, ten years later, and they are willing to exchange real money for the right to collect tolls on the road for this consideration.

Those guys in the empire who treat the people in green as fools are the real fools, and the guys who think they can swallow the investment of the people in green, or rely on the loans of the people in greens, are even more fools among fools, so naïve that they are like babies!

Agatha felt so when she hadn't encountered a centaur patrol with a rifle from the Greens, and when she stepped out of the carriage in front of the Greenmen who had come to greet them, she was even more convinced of her judgment.

"That's a lot of people......

And those green ones...... Iron car? ”

The first thing Princess Agatha's eyesight noticed was the Green Man and the Green Centaur at work in the distance, and the Green Iron Car, which was two or three times taller than the Centaurs.

Some had a single arm that could dig through the dirt, some had a huge shovel in the front, and many more had buckets in the back, and the one-armed carts and shovels would load dirt, stones, and turf into those bodies and carry them away.

The iron carts did the main job, and the green-clad men and centaurs who came and went beside the carts seemed to be able to do only a few small jobs. When Agatha followed the guidance of the man in green, Agatha had lifted the gap in the curtain and peeked at the iron box cars that did not need animal traction and no magic fluctuations, but could run "with a bang", but she had no idea that the man in green still had iron cars that could be used to work...... Those golems can be considered the green-clad ones.

But whether it is a low-level golem or a higher-level puppet, it needs to consume magic crystals to drive, even if the strength is greater than that of humans, it is far less expensive than humans and orc slaves who only need to eat, and the only advantage is that they can work in a harsh environment where humans cannot survive.

The people in green want to get a lot of magic crystals, magic cores, and gems full of magic from trading, but they don't have the slightest magic power themselves, whether it's a helicopter or an iron car, they don't need magic power to run at all, so what do the people in green want to do with magic crystals?

There is no need to see the "door" connecting the other world in person, the wise Princess Agatha has already guessed the purpose of the green-clothed people collecting magic crystals just by seeing those iron carts and green-clothed people who do not belong to this world at all, as well as the grassland that has become a huge construction site.

- Those people in green who live in the "Blue Star" need a steady stream of magic to maintain the "door" so that more iron cars and people can pass through! They didn't want to build a trading base, they wanted to build a real city! A city of greens that is more than ten times larger than the capital of the Aha Empire!
