Chapter 162: The Family's Revenge
The sudden increase in population is naturally beneficial to the development of Thunder Eagle City, but it also brings great pressure to Thunder Eagle City's finances.
This kind of pressure makes Rocky seem to go back to half a year ago, when he was worried about money every day, and it is the same now.
"Erin, can you still take out 50,000 gold coins from the vault?"
When the routine was over, and everyone else had retreated, Rocky left Erin alone, and asked,
"Fifty thousand gold coins?sir, are you kidding!?"
But as soon as she heard Rocky's words, Irene's little eyes widened, and her face was full of incredulity, she had just finished saying that the vault was out of money, why did Rocky still ask for money from herself?
"I need money to repair the battleship. ”
How to solve the financial crisis, Rocky actually has a general direction in his mind, at this stage, he wants to rely on Thunder Eagle City to be self-sufficient, it is impossible to solve the problem, he can only rely on the task of the mercenary union, or hunt demons to earn 'extra money', this is the most feasible way.
At the same time, for him now, whether it is to complete the tasks of the mercenary guild or hunt demons, it is much easier than before, the fleet led by two large warships is enough to rely on, and even the air demon battle armor has changed from one set to two sets, which is all the guarantee that he can safely and smoothly complete all kinds of guarantees.
But this has a premise, that is, the fleet that has just experienced a major war must be repaired.
As mentioned before, the remaining warships in Thunder Eagle City are basically wounded, and it is difficult to carry out the next battle in this situation, and it must be repaired before it can be, but the repair costs money, and what is needed is not a small amount.
"Nope!"
As a result, as soon as Rocky finished explaining to Erin, Erin pouted and shook her head directly, and suddenly turned into a little housekeeper.
"No, Erin, I really need this money now, or 40,000, 40,000 gold coins. ”
"No!" Shaking her head like a rattle, Erin said with a pout: "My lord, there is not much money in the treasury now, there are so many new people, I have to contact the Ruby Chamber of Commerce tomorrow to buy food, where is the money to repair any warships for you, no!"
“...... Or...... 30,000 is fine......"
"Thirty thousand?"
Hearing this number, Erin glanced at Rocky and thought for a while before finally speaking: "There are only 30,000, not a single point more!"
"Deal!"
Laughing at her, Rocky nodded.
This conversation between the two seems to be a little wrong, why is Rocky, as the lord of the city, still asking Erin for money in a low voice?
If this is wrong, Rocky is actually asking Erin's opinion, because Erin is the one who controls the overall finances; just imagine, if Rocky opens his mouth, Erin gives him the money, then Thunderhawk City will not be able to survive? Who will ensure that the city's finances can be transferred normally?
And after that, Erin is ready to go back, there are more than a thousand people in the city, and as a treasurer, she must immediately contact the Ruby Chamber of Commerce to buy food and other necessities, and she is very busy.
But watching Erin leave, Rocky suddenly shouted as if he remembered something: "Erin, let the Ruby Chamber of Commerce go directly to Lingyu City to meet us!"
"You're going to Lingyu City?"
Hearing this, Lilia, who was beside Rocky, asked strangely.
"Yes, we can only go to Lingyu City, the transaction tax of Sleepless God City is too expensive, we want to save it now, and going to Sleepless God City is too ostentatious, it is easy to be found by the people of the Mylent family. ”
Rocky was very thoughtful about his next move, not only thinking that the transaction tax in Nightless God City was too expensive for him to afford, but also considering the possible revenge of the Myront family, so he set his next target on Ling Yu City.
Although Lingyu City is also a small sky city, it is also a city with trade as its core, and its city lord Berg has also had a few relationships with Rocky, so it is the best choice to go there to make corrections.
This kind of thinking of his was obviously correct, because just as he thought, the Myront family had indeed begun to prepare for revenge!
............
............
"Atayde, why hasn't the family sent troops yet! What are you waiting for!"
In the city lord's mansion of Hundred Machine City, at a meeting of the elders of the Myronde family, Lessington looked at the patriarch Ataid angrily and asked why he had not sent troops.
In the huge Myront family, there are a total of ten elders, and among these ten elders, Lessington is also the most powerful, and his power and strength are even on a par with Atayde, who is the patriarch.
Because of this, the faction he represents is always at war with Ataide's faction, and even Ataide, who is the patriarch of the noble family, has to be careful when facing him.
But this time, in the face of the menacing Lessington, Atayde was confident, and only smiled at his aggressive questioning, and then asked: "Elder Risington, why does the family send troops?"
"Of course, it's to crusade against rebellion! Rocky blatantly disobeyed the family order, and also took the initiative to provoke a fight within the clan, such a rebellion, as the patriarch, do you plan to let it go!"
Glaring at Atayde, Lessington said angrily, and everything he said naturally meant the great battle between Rocky and Baron Wallin.
By this time, a week had passed since the end of the battle, and Baron Wallin had already returned to the family, but only after the ransom had been paid.
Matu, who had suffered a huge loss, took Baron Wallin hostage after he captured him, and then demanded a ransom from the family as compensation, which caused a lot of trouble.
Since Baron Wallin is a nobleman, he naturally has his own small family, but in the face of Martu's lion, where can his small family get the money, and in the end, it is only by relying on the Mylent family to come forward to solve the matter, and the family came forward to pay a full 500,000 gold coins to redeem Baron Wallin from Matu......
This kind of thing is naturally a shame for the Myronde family, and even more so for Lexington, because Baron Walling is his subordinate, and he lost the battle outside, and it is not only Baron Walling himself who is ashamed, but also Lexington.
What's more, the 500,000 gold coins used to transfer Baron Walling were ostensibly from the Myronde family, but in fact they were from Lessington!
For Lessington, 500,000 gold coins are naturally nothing, but he will definitely not give up on this matter, this has nothing to do with personal emotions, but because if this field is not recovered, then Lessington's prestige in the entire family will be affected.
But how could these thoughts of his escape Ataide's eyes, and as the other side of the fight, Atayde certainly would not let him get his way.
"Lexington, Baron Waryn's defeat has already cost the family half a million gold coins, do you want the rest of the family to lose even more because of his incompetence alone?"
"I don't need anyone else to help!"
As if he had expected Atayde to shirk it like this, Lysington immediately said: "I will send my own fleet to solve this matter, I only need the consent of the family." ”
As soon as he finished saying this, the other elders present, even the patriarch Ataide, gave him a deep look.
Even in the entire Myronde family, Lexington can be regarded as a powerful figure, he sits on a large sky city, and has a full five fleets under his command, each of which has more than a hundred warships!
Five fleets, that's more than 500 warships! And these 500 warships are not reconnaissance ships, in the fleet under Lessington, reconnaissance ships are only used for reconnaissance, and the main force of the fleet is really large warships, and the worst ones are frigates!
This is the strength of the large Sky City City Lord!
So once Lessington sent out his fleet, even if only one of them was sent, it would be enough to easily bombard Thunderhawk City to the ground!
