Chapter Ninety-Three: Empire Chaos
Today's Holy Empire is not destined to be peaceful.
The war between the royal family and the north broke out, and the new leader of the north, Kleist, led his soldiers to destroy Lat's portal directly, and the Holy Empire was completely cut off from the north.
The destruction of the portal had been predicted by the king for a long time, and the paladins who had arranged for the county of Kamnas in advance formed a battle line at the first time.
This was not the biggest news yet, as Lancaster also announced a war against the king.
This war was inevitable, and now the entire Holy Empire was in a state of panic, and all the Imperial airships were stopped and sent to the Holy City as war transport airships.
"It's really a fight. Looking at the documents on the table, Lei Zhe shook his head, the war did not have a big impact on Turku in the strict sense, and the only thing to worry about was the rise in prices.
"Colmar, what do you think of this war?" Reich put down the file and looked at Colmar on the side.
"Well, I don't think you need to worry, with the foundation of the empire, with the power of the north and the forces of the Grand Duke of Lancaster, there is no way to threaten the empire. ”
"It's true that you can't hit the Holy City, after all, there is a demigod-level figure, but I'm afraid it's certain to be independent, and if you directly contact the outside world, I'm afraid that dwarves and trolls will seize the opportunity to attack." ”
This is what Lei Zhe is most worried about, the empire is divided, and it is a sure thing that the imperial countries will take the opportunity to start a war.
At that time, the northern forces will definitely surrender to the empire, and the final result will be that the northern power will be greatly weakened, and the dwarven empire will benefit from it and directly cross the Gemu Shila, and the northern power will definitely not be guaranteed at that time.
Once occupied, it will be difficult to take it back, almost impossible.
"You want to be a part of this war?"
"Are you stupid, I want money and no money, I want people and no people, what are you going to fight? Although the geographical environment of Turku is very poor, it is far away from the war zone, and when the war reaches the white-hot stage, it can be intervened, but it will take a while. ”
Colmar was stunned, Lei Zhe's meaning was obvious, he really had the idea of joining the war, and war has been an effective way for lords to expand their territory since ancient times.
"If you start training knights from now, how long will it take?"
"For a long time, if all the men of Turku were mobilized, the construction of the city of Roster would be terminated, and if you wanted to train knights, it would be almost impossible to have anyone. ”
"That's really the case. Lei Zhe sighed, his idea of training was obviously not suitable for Turku's situation, and the only way was to recruit from the mercenary guild, and the knights recruited were bounties, although they were obedient, they would never be loyal to him as an earl.
However, with Turku's current strength, it is not realistic to want a piece of the pie in the war, there are no resources to plunder on all sides, the desert on the left, the great river on the right, and the endless ocean behind it.
The war has basically nothing to do with him, and the king has not issued a conscription order, he is not even qualified to send troops, it seems that the king has really forgotten about him, the earl, in the corner, how to say that Lei Zhe's power still exists.
Although the empire had collapsed internally, this did not affect the development of Turku in the slightest, and Reich took out all the gold coins to buy materials and slaves, and transported large numbers of slaves from Casseban and Riva to Rost.
Rost's population has also grown to more than four thousand, plus the fish people, the minotaur, the population of the entire Turku has reached about seven thousand, which is not a small number, fortunately the population is cheaper, if it is a little more expensive, Lei Zhe can't afford it.
Cheap is cheap, but the quality is a little worse, and these slaves can only be used as ordinary labor.
............
After half a month, Lei Zhe also got the latest news from the empire, the dwarf empire and the trolls did not take the lead in sending troops, it is obvious that the two countries are waiting for the battle of the Holy Empire to enter the white heat, and then kill in to harvest the battlefield.
Naturally, the king of the Holy Empire said that he was preparing to send troops to the north, but in fact it was just a verbal demonstration, because the Holy City had no way to transfer a large army directly to the north.
The only way to do this was to transport the troops to Tusqua and Kamnas by airship, and wait until they were almost gathered before the war began, and the only way to think about the use of troops against Lancaster was for now.
Lancaster's power is much more exaggerated than in the north, and now the rebellion of the Grand Duke of Lancaster is just announcing his departure from the empire, and he has not yet declared war on the empire, so he can just take care of that side, and the king is not a fool.
"This area is going to be planned as a school district, and the market has already been established, and it can also be opened to traffic. On the sand table on the table, Lei Zhe was making simple plans.
The words of the truck have not yet been made, Lei Zhe now has to think about the problem of the tram, the most convenient means of transportation in the city is nothing more than the tram, the capital consumption is small, the density of the city entrance of Rost is not large, the tram can definitely play a good role.
And after the tram is made, the peculiarity of Rost will definitely get out.
Now everyone outside knows that there is no night in Rost, and many people want to come and watch it.
This momentum is naturally good, and Lei Zhe wants to use this reputation to attract people.
When life is carefree, human beings will instinctively look for a comfortable living environment, then Rost will definitely be the first choice.
"With the new housing area, Lydia is going to trouble you again. Lei Zhe touched his head and looked at Lydia with some embarrassment, almost all the magic arrays in the entire city were completed by her, and Lei Zhe also had some simple magic array arrangements, but that was just very simple.
In order to make the population more dense, Lei Zhe built a new high-rise house, but it is only three floors, but compared to the one-story residential house, it has been greatly improved.
At least a family should have a 100-square-meter stone house, and the house should naturally be equipped with air conditioning, and these houses are for some relatively wealthy people.
During this time, people have already run over from Riva and other places.
There are even families from Sanchez.
"It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome at all, as long as the gold coins arrive, you can do anything. Lydia narrowed her eyes and smiled, now that her proficiency in carving formations had improved by several realms, the portrayal of these simple magic formations was not difficult for her at all.
"Will give it to you. Reezer gave the guy a blank look, but he was also grateful to her, at least she had brought her magic to Turku, and the gold paid to Lydia was not much for Reizzle.
The plan for the next month is to get the first tram and the first freight car in the eyes of the people of Turku.
