Suven quickly informed Lucius to come and wash the floor.

As expected, the militants had no weapons or equipment bearing the symbol of power, and the short-distance portal with traces only pointed to a wilderness 30 kilometers away, which was equally empty. The only ones still alive were a group of private soldiers of the Pterodactyl Gang, and the minions scattered around them were quickly wiped out, but this group of people obviously only knew that a large number of people had entered recently, but they could not prove their identities.

As a result, a fully organized Imperial Warband is like a wild dog in the wilderness of violent corpses, unable to even leave a name. The strong poison was very high, from the first slight blackening to the later blackening and shining, and finally even the whole face was like charcoal, destroying the last remaining features of them.

This unexpected situation surprised Su Wen, but it also proved what he had been thinking all along, so not only was he not disappointed, but completely relieved.

This shows that the Xihuai Empire will never dare to expose its power in Mtasai City.

If you think about it, the Xihuai Empire has a hundred reasons to do this, otherwise they wouldn't be like the Duchy of Marda, secretly cultivating agents among the city's native forces, and not even showing their faces. Although many people are tacitly aware of this kind of thing, the reason why the unspoken rule is an unspoken rule shows that it must not be put on the table, and once the relationship between the two empires and the ostensibly independent city of Mtase is truly exposed, then its international status in the southern continent will be greatly affected.

That's right, it's a serious matter.

The city of Mtase was like a cake that was so delicious that no one could touch it, because it was not clean, but it was so delicious that the two empires guarding it could not hold back, and finally chose to steal it from others—although it was not too detailed, but from the accounts that Lucius gave him, the total economic output of this medium-sized city in the center of a hundred miles of wasteland exceeded at least sixty million gold coins every year.

What is this concept?

As far as Su Wen knew, the main city that he knew best about the Duolun Empire, and the closest to the size of Mtase City, was the province of Draenor, which ranked ninth among the 23 imperial provinces. According to Duolun's annual financial announcement, the total economic output of this fruit-rich province is about 10 million gold coins to 15 million gold coins, which can be regarded as rich, but compared to the city of Mtase, whose main sources of income are slavery, trade, gambling, and various shady black industries such as hallucinogens and killers, it is almost like a remote town from nowhere.

Isn't it amazing? Su Wen was also frightened when he first saw this number from Donald's intelligence. At first, his impression of the city came from the depictions in the major books of the Northern Continent, so he once thought that it was a place where the people came out of the poor mountains, and it was all dependent on the caravans. And it wasn't until I got to the bottom of it that I realized how terrifying the black industry here was.

The economic disparity of the main city of its size is four or five times that would make any country want to go crazy to get the city of Mtase, if its prestige on the mainland is not so notorious.

As long as reasonable people know, this black money is like a hot potato, and it is not so easy to take. Even the Duchy of Marda and the Xihuai Empire, which are close to the water, will never dare to blatantly extend their tentacles into the Rhine Wasteland, and can only deliberately indulge the growth of the black industry under the premise of controlling the ruling party in the city, and then wash out the unclean gold coins from it little by little through trade deficits, armed crusades, and the creation of indemnity treaties. The whole process must be done carefully, and the beginning and end must be done cleanly, so as not to be seized by other countries around them.

But even so, Mthase has become the economic backbone of both countries – the economic pillars of both countries at the same time! Even if these two countries together are not a quarter the size of a behemoth like Doron, it is enough to show how terrifying the city's ability to produce money is.

And under this premise, Su Wen, an uninvited guest who came out halfway, pinched the control of the city without saying a word, what does this mean?

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents!

However, if they do not want to lose the city of Mtase, the Duchy of Marda and the Xihuai Empire have only one choice, which is to destroy the initiator of this incident and secretly retake it with lightning speed without revealing their relationship with the city of Mtase. But this premise must be done, otherwise everything behind it will be in vain, and even if it is recaptured, it will be impossible to keep the previous delicate relationship - the influence of the two empires in the southern continent is far less than the size of Duolun to do whatever they want, in the final analysis, it can only be regarded as an old small country, and they can't expose their existence in Mtase City at all, otherwise once they are exposed, there will be a lot of countries around them who want to take advantage of this.

This situation is very beneficial to Su Wen, just like the owner of the lost stolen goods does not dare to call the police, in the short term, the city of Mtase will definitely not be hit head-on from the two empires, and the more than twenty of them are all famous magisters and their warbands, although they are all eyeing from afar at this time, not even a single one dares to set foot in the Rhine Wasteland.

Because of this, the incident happened for four days, but the two empires did not even let out a fart, but continued to send a large number of eyeliner and hidden armed forces to infiltrate the city. It can be seen that the two empires are now like ants on a hot pot, very eager to know who has cut off their connection with the city of Mtase, especially worried that it will be the instructions of the two major forces, so as to cast a mouse.

Su Wen didn't know this, so he had laid a net in the past few days, and he didn't dare to say that he knew 100% which people were sent by the two empires, but at least he knew nine times out of ten. This state of affairs was expected almost by Su Wen when he got the information about Mtase City, so Donald not only stripped a beautiful woman and threw it on his bed, but also told himself that he didn't have to be responsible no matter how he played.

Of course, if it was just like this, Su Wen might not have acted so decisively at his instigation.

What really made him up his mind was another sentence before Donald left.

"By the way, are you ready to face the Archmagus? Don't say I didn't warn you in advance, but don't be too complacent, the difference between the Magister and the Archmagus is only one word, but if you want to solve it as easily as you did not so long ago, you would be very wrong. I'm really not modest, I have the confidence to beat any magus on the continent, but when faced with any big magus, I can only choose to escape. ”

There is no doubt that this guy did indeed peek at his own battle.

But when Su Wen asked who the archmage he was referring to was, Donald resumed his stupid expression.

"Haha, just kidding, don't take it seriously. ”

It's not really a ghost.

And without Donald's explanation, he could vaguely guess who he was referring to.

So, that night, he slipped into the city lord's palace in the city of Mthase.

He needs the city.

The armed base, Xiao Shi's incubation pool, and opening the way for Laetitia's immature plan are actually just following the trend, even if you don't get Mtase City, you can actually do it, but it's not as convenient as it is now. And just to be the enemy of the two empires for this reason, it is inevitable to pick up the sesame seeds and lose the watermelon, after all, if the two empires really want to fight to the death, even if they don't want Mtasse City, they don't want to give it to others, they only need to declare that they are suppressing bandits, and then they will ban magic to wash the ground, and it will be a hundred.

Su Wen's true motives have not been revealed to anyone.

That is the fortress-level weapon that has been deployed in large quantities since taking over the control of Mtase City.

A person's power is limited after all, but this sentence is actually not so applicable in the interstellar age, some powerful fortress-level weapons can even destroy planets where billions of people live, and pressing the launch button is such a thing, as long as the conditions allow, even a small child can do it.

No matter how black the individual combat armor is, it has only changed from cannon fodder to high-level cannon fodder, and in the era of Su Wen, only fortress-level weapons mounted on naval warships and space fortresses can really play a decisive role in war. The electromagnetic cannon is just one of the lowest levels, and its main purpose is to load it on a frigate as a point defense, intercept a space torpedo, or bomb a planet in orbit, many times they are difficult to even touch the enemy's skin, but in the army on the surface of the planet, in front of those super soldiers wearing advanced weapons, it is still a force to destroy the world. The reason why Su Wen chose it was only because with his current energy, not to mention high-end fortress-level weapons such as tachyon light spears and faram particle cannons, even the conventional main battle weapons such as Gauss cannons and high-energy laser launchers could not be exchanged, and could only be exchanged for whale-level cannons, which were almost the strongest in the army.

That's right, the fact that the army's strongest main battle weapon is a small toothpick in the navy has not changed until the space age, when the so-called "sea" has changed from the ocean to the sea of stars.

If he wanted to contend with the most powerful force in this magical world, Su Wen had no choice.

He needed a naval fortress, at least a land fortress with naval weapons, and the few cannons he had at the moment were just the beginning, not even rudimentary defenses.

And even strictly speaking, there is no primary weapon......

He finally began to understand why, even after absorbing one percent of the energy of the virtual arena, the pit daddy system kept complaining that the energy was far from enough.
