After three rounds of wine and five flavors, the two sides can be regarded as getting along, not to mention that Megas's sons are also deliberately close to Gong Xiangyang and others, they are all young people, and there are many topics to talk about, and they will soon become acquainted.

Megas also stepped off the high platform and sat on Wu Zihao's side, which can be regarded as quite face-saving, and lowered his posture.

"Brother Huofang, the people below reported that there was a batch of placer iron ore in your business group this time, I don't know if it's true?"

Wu Zihao nodded and said, "It seems that there is such a batch of mines, but there should not be many of them!"

Megas's eyes lit up, and he smiled and said: "Brother, it's better to sell this placer iron ore to me, anyway, you can also sell it when you transport it to the Duchy of Valodia, I am willing to buy it at double the price, so that it can also reduce the consumption of spiritual power spars on your transport ship!"

Wu Zihao and Megas had another drink, nodded and said: "Of course you can, Lord Marquis has spoken, of course there is no problem, but there are many places where this placer ore is produced, why does the Lord seem to be in a hurry about this thing?"

Megas sighed: "Brother doesn't know, our lords seem to be extraordinary, but how many people know our pain, hundreds of thousands of people in the territory have to manage, but also to prepare for the construction of the city defense army, these places have to spend a lot of money, the most important thing is those bandit regiments that come and go without a shadow, my steel city is okay, some of the towns below can suffer, such as today's night dog regiment no one can stop it, even if the alarm is timely, when the warships of the steel city attack, the other party has already run away, and it is impossible to prevent it!" This is not the most dangerous, what really makes everyone feel at ease is the ambitious lords around them!"

Wu Zihao nodded silently, this is true, at present, the ten major countries have been at war for many days, as long as it drags on for a year and a half, it is estimated that the following lords and small principalities will start a war and take the opportunity to expand their power.

Megas continued: " The buffer zone between this Wu country and the Duchy of Valodia is thousands of miles, there are dozens of large and small territories, and there are not too many conflicts on weekdays, not to mention the mediation of several other principalities such as the Principality of Valodia, which does not allow us to break out into conflict at all, but this time is different, the war of the ten major empires has made the entire ten realms tremble, once this war drags on for two years, even with the national strength of the ten major empires, there must be no time to meddle in our forces, so what will happen next, presumably it is not difficult for the elder brother to guess！”

Wu Zihao nodded and said: "What Lord Marquis said is that once that time comes, I am afraid that there will be commotion among all forces, even if they dare not touch the ten empires, they will definitely extend their forces to the surrounding territories and take the opportunity to strengthen themselves, my lord is still quite far-sighted!"

"Where is the foresight!" Megas shook his head and said: "Since last year, several small principalities that have been exporting placer iron ore have stopped selling, not only placer iron ore, but also some other more important minerals have begun to reduce the amount of sales, and after the ten major countries started the war, they also stopped selling, but unfortunately I didn't notice this, there is not much hoarding of these important materials such as placer iron ore, so I want to buy my brother's placer iron ore!"

Wu Zihao couldn't help but nodded, it seems that these principalities are also keenly aware of the huge tremors that will appear in the Ten Directions Realm, and they have already actively begun to prepare for war, which of these principality federations is not millions or even tens of millions of people, and their wars are definitely not something that these small territories can intervene in.

And these small lords are also ready to move, wanting to take advantage of this opportunity to strengthen themselves, after all, the territory of a small lord is only a hundred miles, and the inhabitants are only three or four hundred thousand, and they have to guard against those robber regiments everywhere.

The narrowness of the territory has determined that it is difficult for these lords to have too many inhabitants and troops, if they do not take the opportunity to devour other forces, then one day they will be annexed, this is the rule of the gray zone, no one can escape.

Today, it is not difficult to see from Megas's approach that he also thought of winning over Wu Zihao and striving for a strong foreign aid master in the upcoming war in the future.

With the double price benefit of Megas, Wu Zihao certainly has no excuse to refuse, but the twenty tons of placer iron ore were sold for a price of nearly 80,000 purple gold coins, which can be regarded as a ruthless profit, not to mention the profit that does not have to pay transaction tax.

After resting for the night, the transport ship moved again, this time after the supply was completed, there was a lot of space, and the materials purchased were enough for the team to consume to the Duchy of Valodia, and after Qu Chuan joined, the target they expected the Wind Corps would definitely have an absolute advantage.

For Qu Chuan, Wu Zihao can not teach a lot, directly teach the first layer of the fire refining technique, and he also understands in his heart that a person with arrogance like this will never give birth to a rebellious heart.

Qu Chuan, whose body has been greatly restored, is also quite excited, it seems that he saw another door, and after pushing it open, he saw another sky, and he was even more in awe of Wu Zihao, and even dared to teach such a ** directly, I don't know how many people will be emotional.

Five days later, the transport ship finally arrived at the border area of the Principality of Valodia, which is the territory of the Swift Wind Legion, as long as it steps here, the Swift Troop will receive information in less than half a day, and this is the time when Wu Zihao is ready to kill.

Although there are still a large number of supplies on the transport ship, Wu Zihao still chose to land the transport ship in a nearby town and made a gesture of supply, which is nothing more than to lure the Wind Troop, and in the current state, it does make the Wind Corps a little suspicious, that is, the Crow Corps wants to take advantage of the weather and sneak into the Principality of Valodia to make up for the losses between them.

What's more, there is only one transport ship, which can't carry many troops at all, and in such a posture, the Black Crow Corps is a dangerous move, which is a piece of fat to the mouth.

Wu Zihao took Qu Chuan to get off the transport ship early and landed on a small hill not far from the town, although the snow stopped, the cold wind continued to blow.

Standing on the top of the hill and looking at the town in the distance, Wu Zihao said softly: "It's not calm tonight, let me see how your harvest is in the past few days!"

Qu Chuan's long knife hung on his waist, holding the handle of the knife tightly with one hand, his eyes looked at the lake that had frozen into ice, and calmly replied: "Naturally, it will not disappoint you, but I am a little strange, you still care about what this small army does with your strength, as long as you show your strength, I am afraid that these small principalities will rush to recruit you, why bother so much to cultivate a small army of thousands of people!"

Wu Zihao waved his long sleeves, swept away the snow on the mountain, sat cross-legged, took out a pot of fine wine bought from the City of Steel and tasted it, and said with a smile: "Even if such a strong strength is recruited in the past, it is just a thug, without a few years of testing, which emperor of the principality dares to hand over the power, just like I recruited you, not that you are strong now, but that you will be strong in the future, so you are certainly worth my investment!"

"Hmph, you can do business, so you can really make a profit!" Qu Chuan smiled: "I look at your clothes, you should be from the wilderness, why did you come together with the people of the empire, and they are also willing to work for you, which is a bit unexpected!"
